Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 526 430.What? ! The new handheld console of the future? ! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

After sorting through all the games in the entire group, Qing Zhiyuan finally had a clearer understanding.

After the meeting, it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening.

When he returned home in the evening, he played with the two babies for a while. Qing Aiyue fell asleep on Qing Zhiyuan's shoulder.

He gently put Aiyue on the bed, and then lay down next to him.

Seeing Aiyue's cute appearance, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. He gently picked up his daughter's feet and kissed them silently.

Who knows what kind of nightmare Aiyue seemed to have at this time. She kicked her feet violently, and Qing Zhiyuan let out a muffled groan, then stood up holding her nose.

I touched it and found that my nose was bleeding.

Just at this time, Tsuda Nao, who had put Qingmuhe to sleep, walked in with her child in her arms.

When Nao Tsuda saw his appearance, she couldn't help but laugh.

…

About a week later, Qing Zhiyuan called Ishino Mika and Asahi Jun to the office, and then placed a project in front of them.

New game production.

Sure enough, the president is a bad guy. He has just finished developing "My Future Girlfriend" and is immediately arranging a new game, leaving no time for anyone to breathe.

But the problem is that we still have a sequel to 86 under development.

Although they scolded Qing Zhiyuan in their hearts, Ishino Mika and Asae Jun still honestly took over the project and looked through it.

I saw it read:

《AIR》

Um?

This name seems familiar.

Ma Zhijun thought to himself, isn't this the name I used for my future girlfriend?

On the cover, there is not only the name AIR, but also a picture of two girls with wings on their backs hugging each other.

The president also very thoughtfully drew line drawings of the characters and scenes during the planning, and added some gouache coloring, which looks very beautiful.

The game only had an outline and setting. The word count was not that many, probably just over 30,000, and it took almost half an hour. After reading the project, Mika Ishino and Jun Asa couldn't help but gasp.

The previous life of "AIR" was a 18-year-old galgame developed by Key Club, and the script author was Jun Asahi himself.

This work mainly tells the story of a Winged Man legend that spans thousands of years, with summer as the main theme, revealing human beings' desire for freedom and love, and also showing the power of friendship and maternal love.

The story is mainly divided into two parts: the modern story and the legend 1,000 years ago.

In the modern part, the hero Kunisaki Miuto is a traveler who makes a living by performing dolls. He meets the heroine Kamio Mizuzu in a seaside town and temporarily stays at her house.

Together, they search for the doll that Xiangren lost during his journey, and thus begin a deep friendship.

However, Guan Ling gradually lost her memory due to the curse, and her body became weaker and weaker.

Although some people tried hard to restore Guanling's memory, everything was in vain, and finally Guanling inevitably came to the end of her life.

According to legends from 1,000 years ago, Kannabi Meimei, a descendant of the Winged Man who was under house arrest, escaped from the temple with her warrior Yanagi and maid Riye and embarked on a journey to find Beimei's mother.

However, their journey was not smooth and Beiming's mother sacrificed herself to protect them.

Bimei also deliberately attracted the enemy's attention in order to protect Yanagi and Riye, and ultimately sacrificed himself.

Their descendants were cursed to only be able to fly in the air and not be able to walk on the ground...

In short, the whole story is full of sad and touching elements, echoing each other between modern times and legends from thousands of years ago, forming a complete and meaningful story circle.

"AIR" is deeply loved by players and audiences for its unique perspective and exquisite story structure.

It was also this work that made Jun Asahi a success, and it was considered a very important milestone in his career. It can even be said that without AIR, there would be no Jun Asahi, and there would be no subsequent excellent game animation works such as CL and AB. .

But this time, it was Qing Zhiyuan who put it into Ma Zhizhun's hands through the [Inheritance of Time and Space].

The two exchanged glances, and Ishino Mika frowned in fear.

"President, I'm afraid of being beaten."

Qing Zhiyuan frowned fiercely.

"Don't be afraid, it's not the first time we've made this type of game."

The implication is that you have been sent so many blades anyway, do you still care about this?

"We pokeni have always insisted on using the purest faith to bring players the purest touch, allowing them to feel unforgettable love in the story. This is the purpose of our game, isn't it?"

Ishino Mika raised her head and looked at Qing Zhiyuan in surprise.

President, do you want to hear what you are saying?

Innocence is pure, and it is unforgettable, but the problem is that players will send us blades!

"But, isn't this story too sad?" Ma Zhizhun said hesitantly.

"Um?"

Qing Zhiyuan turned around and looked at him strangely.

Ishino Mika said that and let it go.

But, Mr. Ma Zhi, do you want to hear what you are saying?

You are the great tearjerker,

This is your own work. If you don’t do it, who else can do it?

In short, after more than half an hour of explanation, Ishino Mika and Asahi Jun finally understood the meaning of this work (succumbing to the president's power), and also expressed that they would work hard to make it a good job.

…

After sending the two people away, Qing Zhiyuan continued to write the name of the next game on the computer:

"Violet Evergarden"

This game, to be precise, cannot be called a game. Its prototype comes from a very famous animation by Kyoto Animation in its previous life, which is also called this game.

In the animation, the protagonist Violet Evergarden is a soldier who retired from the battlefield. She came to the port city to work as a "letter writer".

She faces the client directly and touches the frank feelings deep in the client's heart.

In the animation, through the alternation of letters, the emotions and bonds between people are shown, and the power of words is also demonstrated.

The many short stories interspersed in it are very touching, warm and healing.

However, Qing Zhiyuan thought carefully for a long time and did not plan to make it into a galgame. Instead, he planned to make "Violet Evergarden" as a bug master and turn it into a slow game:

Accept the mission and start your own journey.

Completing tasks, traveling in various cities, helping others express their feelings and showing the power of words, this is the core of the game.

Both Poke Master and Violet Evergarden will create a special type of game for pokeni. In today's impetuous world, they may become the future of young people. No, not just young people. All lives in the world are under heavy pressure. A spiritual haven for people who are overwhelmed.

In Qing Zhiyuan's view, pure catharsis and short-term dopamine gain in games are actually a bad cycle, which is equivalent to overdrawing happiness and making the dopamine acquisition threshold higher next time.

But slow gaming is different. It allows players to find true spiritual power in the game, which has a nourishing effect.

The world needs both short-term dopamine games that stimulate pleasure, and slow games that allow people to calm down and enjoy life.

This is Qing Zhiyuan’s vision.

Slow variety shows are popular for a similar reason.

Qing Zhiyuan's idea is very simple, which is to treat pokeni as a game empire and game ecology. Every game type must be present, and then it can be continuously extended to cover every corner.

No matter what life experiences and growth trajectories the players have, they can always find a game they like in P Club.

When the entire ecosystem is established, players will become increasingly dependent on pokeni.

Of course, Qing Zhiyuan will definitely not make some illegal and negative games. Games are also an important cultural carrier and must output something with positive value.

…

After the work on the new game was settled, Iwata knocked on the door of Qing Zhiyuan's office in the afternoon.

"Please come in."

Qing Zhiyuan looked up and saw that it was Satoru Iwata, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

This time Satoru Iwata brought a new strategic plan.

Above, Satoru Iwata wrote a lot of market analysis and future development intentions, and then focused on handheld consoles.

"President, I think it is very necessary to develop the next generation of handheld consoles."

To this end, Satoru Iwata also prepared a plan with more than 100 pages, which details the changes that Sega should make for future handheld consoles:

Includes a dual-screen display, with the lower screen being a touch screen;

It is also equipped with a microphone sound input device and Wi-Fi wireless network function.

It is equivalent to making a handheld computer. Players can control it through the touch screen, and of course they can also play games through buttons.

Touch screen technology has actually been around for a long time, and it is not surprising at all that Satoru Iwata brought it up.

Qing Zhiyuan just listened to his explanation and could imagine what this new game console would look like without even reading the contents of the plan.

Just like an NDS.

Qing Zhiyuan felt extremely pleased, it was indeed Satoru Iwata.

In his previous life, Rentendo's NDS development and design was actually led by Iwata precisely because he was also a gamer himself and knew what players liked, so he could make better products.

Even the famous movie star Yoshizawa Minho couldn't put it down for Rentendo's NDS.

You can imagine the charm of this gaming console.

It defeated Sony's PSP in the field of handheld consoles and became the sales leader, with more than 100 million units sold.

It is precisely because of the emergence of NDS that Rentiantian's dominance in the handheld field has been established.

Among them, Satoru Iwata really deserves a lot of credit.

And this time, it's Sega's turn.

…

It has been 7 years since the Sega GP was released in 1992. Except for a subsequent GP expansion version, there have been almost no changes. A handheld console can serve for so many years. In fact, the time is almost the same. .

If it weren't for the support of Pokémon, this handheld console would have been eliminated long ago.

After Qing Zhiyuan read Iwata's plan, he immediately agreed with his strategic plan, and the next day he took Iwata with him to Sega to discuss the development plan for the new handheld console.

After listening to the explanations of the two people, Nakayama Hayao and Sato Hideki, the director of the game console development department, both expressed strong agreement.

It’s time for Sega to develop a new handheld console.

At first glance, the dual-screen design may seem strange, but if you think about it carefully, this operating mode is actually quite interesting. You can treat the handheld device as a small computer.

After hearing this, Sato Hideki frowned involuntarily.

How many problems do we have to face in developing this kind of game console?

Today's touch screen technology is not very mature. The new handheld design proposed by Satoru Iwata is a pressure-sensitive screen instead of the multi-touch capacitive screen commonly used in future smartphones.

From a player's perspective, operating a touch screen will naturally block part of the line of sight, so Iwata created a dual screen, one for touch and the other for display.

The screen size must be increased, so power consumption has also become an important research topic.

With the blessing of wifi, whether it is Sega DC or the new handheld console that Sega will develop in the future, you will be able to play online games in the future, which is equivalent to opening up all joint channels for pokeni's upcoming game platform.

On the other hand, after the game platform is launched, it can also connect these basic platforms with each other through its own power, instead of turning them into isolated individuals.

These are what Qing Zhiyuan calls grand strategy and big ecology.

Moreover, Qing Zhiyuan hopes that the new handheld console can support 3D games and adopt a more advanced 3D game chip, so that high-quality games can be played on the handheld console in the future, such as putting Monster Hunter on the handheld console. Put Pokémon 3D on a handheld console and play online games with friends. You can have fun anytime and anywhere. This convenient feeling cannot be replaced by a console or computer that needs to be connected to a TV.

All in all, the new handheld phone has functions similar to those of future smartphones to some extent, except that it cannot make calls.

From this perspective, Satoru Iwata's ideas are actually quite advanced. In his previous life, his NDS design was already ahead of Apple's smartphones.

"But where will we get the funds to develop a new handheld console?" Nakayama Hayao said he had a headache.

"Don't worry about money. Just go ahead and do it. I'll figure it out when the time comes."

Although pokeni is not particularly wealthy now, he still has a little bit of wealth.

After selling RTT in the United States last year, the company earned more than 300 million U.S. dollars. In addition to the release of the DC game console, the profit of the game console may be very thin, but it is not sold at a loss. There are also two Pokémon Sales of more than 10 million, plus the recent release of "My Future Girlfriend"...

Qing Zhiyuan checked the company's financial data and found that the available funds on the books were still close to 500 million US dollars.

Supporting the development of the new handheld console is not a big problem, and there is still some spare money for him to do other things.

Now that Qing Zhiyuan said this, Nakayama Hayao felt a little relieved.

Qing Zhiyuan has always felt very stable so far, and he must have been prepared for it.

After a long discussion with everyone at Sega, it took more than a day to resolve most of the issues, and the rest were minor details.

"Last question." Sato Hideki raised his right hand.

All eyes were focused on him.

"So what should I call this game console?"

Qing Zhiyuan and Satoru Iwata looked at each other and laughed.

"Let's call it Sega Dual Screen, SDS for short."

…

Of course, having a new handheld console is definitely not enough. The new handheld console must be released with corresponding supporting games.

Pokeni is currently working on digitizing all company games——

In the future, these games will be able to be downloaded through the game platform.

In addition to wanting to bring pokeni to the handheld console, Qing Zhiyuan also put forward new requirements for Sega, hoping that they can develop more classic IP new games to be exclusive to the handheld console.

For example: Sonic the Hedgehog’s 3D Adventures.

Sonic is actually a good big IP. If you cultivate it more, it can play a big role at critical moments. If you enrich it more and make a family-friendly game, it can become an important harvest of lucky money when Pokémon is absent. Not sure about the machine either.

Just like this year.

However, the related protagonists need to be enriched and made more, and different Sonic games need to be derived like Pokémon, which will take a lot of time.

After arranging all the major work for the future, Qing Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Now pokeni is racing against time every step of the way. Others may not know it yet, but Qing Zhiyuan is very clear about the future development in his heart.

It’s difficult, but it’s also very fulfilling.

…

Meanwhile, Sony headquarters.

The new president, Nobuyuki Dei, breathed a long sigh of relief.

From the thunderstorm in North Missoni to Nobuyuki Idei's application to dismiss Schulhoff, until Norio Ohga finally dismissed Schulhoff from the position of president of North Missoni under the persuasion of Dei's persuasive words... …

It only lasted a total of more than 8 months, and Nobuyuki Idei reorganized the top management of North America.

With a precise scalpel and thunderous momentum, he killed Schulhov. After that, Nobuyuki Idei slowly dug out Schulhov's intricate network of relationships and gradually eliminated them...

Amid everyone's astonished gazes, this successor, who seemed "the least talented" and "the least likely to be a successor", finally renovated the entire Sony from top to bottom, inside and out, through his own efforts.

And suppressed all the doubting voices.

At this point, the power of the entire Sony company has been re-concentrated and concentrated in the hands of Nobuyuki Idei.

After being freed from restraints, he could finally let go and do some things he wanted to do.

…

Please give me your monthly vote. It’s only the last two days. If you don’t vote, your monthly vote will be wasted.

The author's brother-in-law is getting married these two days, so he has to go over to help during the day and may not have time to type.

The next chapter is in the evening.

These chapters are transitional chapters. You need to explain the development plan clearly and don't leave anything behind. It may seem a bit boring and watery, but it is crucial for the subsequent plot advancement.

PS: Last night the author’s lucky bag for drawing FGO was heavy. There were so many five-star EXTRA auxiliary phantoms and I only had one brother Zheng. I originally thought that I could draw a different one, but in the end I drew brother Zheng directly. It was so bad. Vomiting blood.
