Super Game Empire

Matsumoto Emi asked: "So how did you think of this theme before making Pokemon? As we understand, Chinese people are not keen on pet collection."

This is the truth, Yang Yun nodded: "This is actually a concept of our game production company, that is, games are human nature, no distinction between national boundaries and races, and belong to the whole world. The red version of Pokemon is

There are 2.4 million sales worldwide, 40% of which come from markets outside Japan. We believe that it is the game itself, not its maker, who attracts people to play games and fall in love with them."

The game belongs to the whole world, which is what Yang Yun has only realized recently.

When making commercial games, such as Conrat, the background story is the American blockbuster "Alien", the protagonist is a special forces soldier, or simply a special team. This kind of game can be treated as long as there are firearms, confrontation, and resist foreign enemies.

Players around the world accept it.

For example, the Sharoman Snake, such an overview universe story is based on everyone's imagination. Whether it matches reality or not is no longer important. It can resonate with players, which is a good commercial game.

Chinese people don’t like to explore nature, but they can still create Pokemon games that Japanese children love, which means that as long as they grasp the selling points of the game, they will be successful.

The interview with nhk TV station soon ended, and Yang Yun and Tajiri Tomoya were awarded the reputation of "Father of Pokemon".

Yang Yun felt a little embarrassed about this, but everyone agreed, and Tomoto Tajiri was even more worried and insisted on letting Yang Yun enjoy the name alone. Now Yang Yun stopped doing it, and argued for a long time before finally getting along with Tajiri.

Zhi received this title together.

Back in China, Yang Yun did not immediately start the King of Fighters project, but instead hesitated to stumble.

This time, NHK's interview program touched him a lot, and his mentality gradually changed.

Since his rebirth, he has done Tetris, Sharoman Snake, Famous Generals, and Snowman Brothers. These games are basically classics that are not intact.

The most significant changes are the Three Kingdoms, Dragon Warriors, Death Squads, and Pokemons. These games have changed the content of the game and followed the framework and skills.

Both of these practices have made the game successful. This shows that the kernel is not very important, as he said. The game is world-wide and just fun, but what attracts players is the game itself.

But for King of Fighters, the situation is a bit different. In addition to the game itself, there is something else that attracts players, that is, its complex relationships in the game world.

When Japanese make games, they pay great attention to private goods and inheritance.

Capcom's famous generals use European and American elements as the mainstream and join the private product of the ninja character.

When it comes to the first generation of Street Fighter, Capcom makes the Japanese the protagonist, controlling ken (red clothes) and ryu (white clothes), fighting with the remaining 10 fighting masters from all over the world.

When it comes to Street Fighter 2, it becomes the choice of 8 people. Although other characters basically disappear, the protagonists Ken and Ryu still appear in the game.

In Street Fighter 2, almost every larger country will have local fighting players. Players will compete in the world and become a popular game around the world. There are four hidden waves of the kings, and of course, in the later stage.

, these four kings can also be selected by players.

When it comes to Street Fighter 3, except for Ken and Ryu, all other characters have been replaced with new faces. Even if Chunli returns, Capcom will be forced to be like this by players. This is the inheritance.

Inheritance is very common in the same series, but in the same company, such as the Fury Team, Clark, Ralph and Hadirland in King of Fighters, these three people are from

Another game of snk.

Yang Yun couldn't do all this. He had no capital to inherit and could only create new things. After all, there were too few games made by Longteng.

He now knows nothing about SNK's situation. He is not sure if he didn't have Clark, would the King of Fighters lose a certain color? After all, Clark is the favorite of many masters in 97. He fights closely, and has many consecutive games.

The second clean and climax is thrown high, not to mention the power, just talking about this handsome and compelling movement makes people excited.

Therefore, the matter of SNK must be solved first and determined first. Otherwise, if Longteng finishes it and an infringement occurs, it will be more than worth the loss.

Yang Yun called Chiba Akihara and Ueda Junmasato, the former one of Capcom Street Fighter's main designers, and the latter one of the designers of the Talented Ninja Turtles.

In addition, Matsumoto Yoshino and Inoue Yusuo also came here. He had already settled a house in the capital, and his wife was also preparing to have a child with peace of mind here.

Yang Yun sent all these Japanese to Longteng headquarters for research and development, just for the design of King of Fighters. He didn't want something to happen. If something happened, leaked the secret, defected, or was heard by SNK. King of Fighters was very

It is possible that you will die halfway and an irreversible accident will occur.

Yang Yun asked: "Have you made progress in the game design of the Electrophyll?"

Chiba Akihara replied: "There is progress, but the 16-bit substrate has insufficient performance in computing speed and image forming. The character models we made have movements and continuous skills, but we cannot see any special effects, and the overall effect is not good."

There is nothing we can do about it. He has played Street Fighter 1 generation.

The Capcom cps1 substrate is a 16-bit processor, and the graphics card is very low-end. In his opinion, all of these are quite behind.

So Street Fighter 1, Red Yiken's moves are only a few, Shenglong Fist (fuel-consuming heel), and Wave Fist (Ado heel), you can detect a slight pause when you look at the naked eye, and the enemy is too unbeatable.

Two dragon fists can beat the enemy into a trace of blood, and then you will die if you touch it again.

The various unreasonable things in the game are not done by the game designer on purpose, but by the unscrupulous ones. If the hardware cannot keep up, no matter how good the creativity is, it will be useless.

Yang Yun said: "Show me the specific effect."

Of course, the unfinished effect is not good-looking, and this feeling makes Yang Yun feel very strange.

In the original Electro-Eliminated game, the protagonist's continuous skills are popular and lively, and the visual effect is very dazzling.

As for the 16-bit substrate, when demonstrating continuous skills, the character model has some stuck, and how can the action be seen, it looks like Yabuki Mago, a great disciple of Kusakariri's ancient martial arts. The moves are exactly the same as Kusakariki Kyo. But they just don't have the fire, look

Why is it so awkward!

The current Sega arcade substrate is KTM, which is also 16 bits, and history is even older than Capcom's CPS1 substrate. Yang Yun seemed to see an old car. He hummed and drove the King of Fighters. Cao Zhijing was a super killer.

The machine paused and kaka. The players turned the rocker wildly, slapped the buttons, and after returning to normal, the opponent was full of fire and fell to the ground and died.

Hardware problems are too urgent. Sega started researching the del1 substrate last year. This substrate is 32-bit, and the processing speed is several times higher than the 16-bit CPU, which can definitely meet the requirements of King of Fighters.

It’s just that hardware research is even more difficult. Yang Yun has no choice but to do it, so he can only be anxious. This cannot be solved by programming and code typing.

The only way to do the continuous technology problem is this. Let’s continue to study it. Yang Yun asked them another thing: “Are you familiar with SNK company?”

snk?

Several people have heard of it. This is also a relatively well-known Japanese company. It is very famous for its arcades. Games such as "Athena", "Rage", and "Cuban Heroes" have been well received.

Inoue Yusuo frowned and said, "They are Nintendo's TV game suppliers and are also famous in arcade games. Although they are not as capable as companies such as Korame Capcom, they are also pretty good, just a medium-sized one."

Yang Yun nodded: "You can help me collect snk information. I want to... see if I can buy it!"

The way to do it once and for all is of course to acquire Snk. After the acquisition, there are no worries. Snk is originally a company famous for action games. It is extremely easy to let them design a set of King of Fighters out casually.

The story background of King of Fighters 94 is based in Japan. The protagonist of the story is Kusaki Kyo, who is the descendant of the ancient martial arts genre of Kusaki Ryu. He can control flames and can have flame effects when attacking. He is the absolute protagonist in the story.

If Yang Yun wants to change it, it is actually very easy to change it. It is easy to change Kusa Chi-kyo to Chinese, Kusa Chi-rijuan to mysterious Chinese martial arts, substitute the Japanese team, and make the Chinese team the protagonist. This is a breeze.

In this era, a game that would appear only three years later was created. Even if he modified the entire history, no one would say anything. Before Snk made the King of Fighters, he was the Creator God of King of Fighters Games.

But Yang Yun hesitated.

As soon as the King of Fighters appeared, all fighting games were bowed down. After the King of Fighters 94, there was a new version every year, which affected countless players and made people deeply obsessed. They even knew the background of the story and talked about drafting the story between Shikyo and Yagami.

Relationships and fate, that's a great relish, and you can even memorize the game story.

When Yang Yun was a child, he was in the arcade hall. The game he didn't like to play the most was actually this kind of fighting game, especially the King of Fighters. He was never the only one who watched it by the side and never dared to go into battle in person because there were too many masters, so he was just a rookie who died.

It is not much higher than computer NPC intelligence.

Later, when I went to college, a simulator appeared, and unlimited game coins were invested, which fulfilled my dream of King of Fighters. I first fought with the computer to practice, and then played with PK with my roommate, played with Kusuko Kyo, played Yagami, and was even being

After the roommate rang out, he was really angry and chose the big snake directly and used the sunshine to regain his face.

Rebirth is rebirth, but it does not mean that Yang Yun has all the information in his mind. Now he only remembers the relationship between Kusato Kyo and Yagami, vaguely remembers the invitation letter from the 94 King of Fighting Competition, vaguely remembers what he saw in a bookstore when he was a child.

King of Fighters comics, but he couldn't make a complete set of characters.

That's why he wanted to acquire SNK and hand over the King of Fighters to the original team to produce it. Just like making Pokemon, he directly recruited Tomo Tajiri and changed some small details.

Otherwise, if he had all the money and design from scratch, he might have been defeated by a tiger!

Character design is a big problem! (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!

ps: Next we start designing King of Fighters.

Many people have expressed their opinions and gave me a lot of good suggestions. I also have my own ideas.

So no matter what I wrote, whether it was transplanted intact or adapted in Chinese style, I hope everyone will show mercy and tolerate me as a little miserable...
