Super Game Empire

Chapter 217 The originator of parkour games 'Sonic'

Yang Yun smiled and looked at the several Kabi prototypes drawn by Masahiro Sakurai on paper. He couldn't help but pick up the watercolor pen and paint it with pink color, or add a tail to it, and turn it into a ghost.

It looks very interesting.

Yang Yun explained: "It is precisely because Sega's games are too professional that we also need to add this type of purely casual and cute game type. When people are busy all day, they are crowded on the way off work like sardines, dragging their tired bodies."

When they get home and lie on the bed after washing up, do you think they are willing to play a powerful Conra game, or are they willing to play an extremely relaxed Kabi as their last enjoyment before going to bed that day?”

Ma Liang opened his mouth, he could not imagine this scene. He was a little tired in the storm, but the company provided high-paying and high welfare, and the company provided high-end apartments with 24-hour housekeeping services, which made it difficult for him to experience the extreme fatigue.

Feel.

Iwada Satoshi said in admiration: "It's still Mr. Yang's right! I know many ordinary people, and they would rather choose to watch a happy and unconnotation-free soap opera, or listen to a light music, read a funny comic and have a good sleep."

Sakurai Masahiro nodded: "These people are also our target customer group. I believe that in Japan, there must be much more people like to play fighting games!"

"It's not only in Japan, but all over the world!" Yang Yun added: "Relaxed and pleasant novels, movies and music that relax their moods, allowing people who are already tired to quickly relieve their fatigue. They are already tired for a day, who can't do that?

Are you willing to play those troublesome and troublesome games?"

Ma Liang shrugged: "OK, I understand what you think. Maybe I need to know more about customer needs, and the market is the first priority!"

Yang Yun smiled: "The Magazine "The Power of Sega is for this. Please pay attention to the feedback letters sent by readers, as there will be many good ideas on it!"

That's it. "Star Kirby" is positioned as a relaxed, cute, and funny casual game. Yang Yun handed it over to Iwada Satoshi and Sakurai Masahiro, who was very relieved.

With high project dividends, these two fathers of Kabi will definitely work hard. Their idol and role model is Tajiri Tomota. Yang Yun provides them with a platform, and they vow to make Star Kabi the only one who is no less than

Pokemon's Hot Game!

After signaling that they could go to work, Yang Yun breathed a sigh of relief. He snatched this game and Nintendo's handheld console was not that good. What are they left? Castlevania? Flame Emblem? That's all!

Ma Liang was about to leave. Yang Yun stopped him: "Don't leave first, there are 3 projects on the handheld, "Star Kirby" has been finalized, and "Sonic" and "Reversal Referee", your mission

Heavy!"

Next is Sonic the Hedgehog, which is Sega's original creativity. Unfortunately, with Yang Yun's participation, Sega's R&D department stopped it without limit.

Accompanied by Ma Liang, Yang Yun came to the information room and finally found Sonic's planner.

"I have no idea about Sonic's design." Yang Yun could say in Japanese. But it was very difficult to read. He recorded a large number of these things. He could not read them at all.

But he knew that Sonic was a good game. In Sega's history, the one who can compete with Super Mary, that is, Sonic the Hedgehog, had a total sales of more than 30 million sets. Although it was far worse than Super Mary,...

Sega has only this little thing. If the platform cannot catch up with Nintendo, no matter how good it is, it will be useless.

"No idea? Mr. Yang, this is not your style!" Ma Liang said with a smile: "I am in the Japanese gaming circle. People say I am the chief designer of Fengyun Company. In fact, people don't know, I am the most You are the one who worships!"

"Get out!" Yang Yun picked up the planner and slapped him: "Stop flattering! Sonic's plan is handed over to the President of Zhongshan. This is what he made and handed over to him to complete. I believe that there is a significant difference. With the increased market share, this Sonic classmate will definitely not be less famous than Mr. Mario!”

"Okay!" Ma Liang took the dusty plan and carefully put it away.

Sonic was originally an MD platform thing, and Yang Yun had no choice but to use it on handhelds because in comparison, Longteng Company is the most precarious handhelds department.

If Ma Liang knew that Yang Yun thought so, he would definitely laugh out loud. How could the handheld machine be in danger? They have Pokemon!

The key is that Ma Liang is not a reborn person, how could he imagine what happened next?

That's why he was worried and prepared to launch three games in one go to expand his advantages over Nintendo GameBoy.

Yang Yun must join the game Sonic, mainly because he is attracted by its potential.

Among the smart phone games in later generations, there is a type that players like very much, that is, parkour games.

The more famous ones include the "Temple Escape" series, "Daily Cool Run", "Subway Parkour", "Hell Run", and even the mobile game "Where Are We Going, Dad".

Like Sonic the Hedgehog, these games are all about running at high speed and exciting background music, which attract players with tension.

For example, the Temple Escape series, in a temple in the tropical rainforest, explorer Indiana Jones obtained a cursed artifact. In order to escape, the player had to control him to escape from the pursuit of the demon guards and get out of the tropical rainforest. get away.

Mobile games are very simple, characters can run by themselves without controlling their movements.

Players need to control the protagonist to avoid various obstacles and traps on the escape route, such as turning, jumping, sliding down, or shaking the direction of the phone to change the protagonist's route, colliding with hanging gold coins, or avoiding it. The big pits and tree stumps on the original route.

The game that can be played with one hand is simple and easy to learn. Temple Escape is loved by hundreds of millions of people around the world. It is one of the most popular games on the Apple Store and Android platform.

Unlike Sonic the Hedgehog, due to hardware limitations, Sonic's first version can only be made into horizontal 2D scroll game, while Temple Escape relies on the powerful CPU of the mobile phone and can easily be made into 3D mode.

At the launch meeting of Sonic's group, Yang Yun met the talented designer Yuji Naka.

Sonic's creativity was mainly what he thought of. Yang Yun first expressed his gratitude to him: "Sega needs you talented and excellent designers very much. I have read your game planning plan and I like it very much. I believe you will succeed. !”

Nakayuji was very excited. He felt that fate was really a mess. When Sega Co., Ltd. was fighting with Nintendo, everyone wanted to do their best to contribute to the company.

But Yang Yun came out in the middle and actually acquired Sega Company. This made the original Sega employees not know what to say, and were nervous, worried that the new boss would have an impact on them.

However, Yang Yun did not lay off any of the employees, and brought a lot of new game ideas, which made Sega's performance better and better, which made the original Sega employee feel relieved.

However, Sonic's plan was stranded, which has always been a regret in Nakayuji's heart. I thought I would never see the birth of this game in this life, but I didn't expect that Yang Yun summoned them today and it turned out to restart Sonic!

After receiving praise from the big boss, Nakayuji immediately said: "Don't worry, Mr. Yang! Our Sonic team is ready and can start at any time!"

Yang Yun smiled and nodded and said, "I will pay attention to this project at any time. I would like to make two suggestions. First, both MD and GG platforms can operate. Second, I don't require efficiency, and I don't expect Sonic for the time being.

How much profit can it bring? You have a year and a half to come to this game now. The more exquisite the better. Do you understand what I mean?"

Nakayuji muttered a few words and woke up. He was very happy: "Mr. Yang, I understand! This will be the third Pokemon!"

Yang Yun nodded with a smile. That's what he meant, turning Sonic into a fine product, and he kept it in Sega's hands for 10 years. After 20 years, there would be no temple to escape at that time!

In the end, there is still a "Reversal Referee" left in the handheld project, which is the most troublesome one.

The game content is not troublesome, the hardware is troublesome.

The 32-bit handheld GBA will be launched 10 years later, and Sony PSP will withdraw after 13 years. In other words, in the past ten years, Sega will basically only face the confrontation between the eight GameBoys.

But Yang Yun knows that with the changes in people's living habits, portable gaming opportunities are becoming more and more popular. In the future, like mobile phones, they will become an indispensable item for everyone. Moreover, with the popularity of intelligent operating systems, handheld computers

There is even a possibility of being replaced by a smartphone!

Accelerate the progress of handheld machine research and development, build a solid country for yourself in advance, walk your own path, and leave Nintendo and Sony no way out. This is Yang Yun’s plan.

He came to Sega Hardware Research Room and saw the Saturn Development Team.

The situation is not very optimistic, and the supply of 32-bit CPU is sufficient, but unfortunately the internal instructions are too difficult to rewrite.

These things used on PCs will cause a long headache for R&D personnel to achieve various complex actions, special effects, and graphics processing on a small gaming console motherboard.

What's more, even if the development is changing with each passing day, it might take them a month to process a three-dimensional graphics rendering code. Graphics GPU manufacturers have launched an upgraded version of the GPU version, which has wiped out their hard work for a month.

!

The progress of the handheld machine was even slower. Yang Yun suddenly realized that if the design of 16+16 was designed, two CPUs would have to be installed, which means that the GGA would become larger and the cost would be much higher!

NEOGEO is an arcade substrate of 16+16. Because it is expensive and there are not many good games, and it is suppressed by Longteng, the sales are bleak.

Yang Yun had no choice but to have no choice. There were times when Sun Houzi couldn't handle it, so he needed to hire a reinforcement.

This reinforcement soldier is Zhu Shuguang.

PS: There is no need to argue about who the originator of parkour games is, but Sonic is indeed a game that sells at high speed, with a lot of parkour charm in it. I have an arrangement for it later. Yesterday, the guy voted 6

Zhang 12000's updated ticket! Gripping his teeth and fighting... By the way, I'll ask for a vote. Now it's the end of the month. I guess everyone has voted for monthly tickets? Then vote for recommendations~
