Chapter 240 Developing PC Games

At Bingcheng Zhiduoxing Company, Li Junsheng is holding a meeting for everyone to see the development progress of each group, and at the same time formulate the bonus distribution for the second quarter.

The company has distributed bonuses to their departments, but the specific distribution method is up to Li Junsheng, the person in charge, to decide.

He was talking when he heard a knock on the door. What's the matter, when their department has a meeting, no one usually disturbs them, right?

Before he could say please come in, the door was pushed open, he was about to scold, but quickly swallowed his words back.

"Mr. Zhang, you are back."

Zhang Yang walked into the meeting room: "Where is the meeting? You continue. After I'm done, I have something to announce."

"It's okay, it's almost done here, you go first, I'm not in a hurry." Li Junsheng stood up and sat on the seat next to him.

Zhang Yang sat on the main seat and looked at everyone: "Everyone should be distributing bonuses, right? Then be happy, what I said is not a bad thing, you don't have to be nervous."

There are more and more people, and the team is getting bigger and bigger, Zhang Yang is very satisfied.

"Do you know that Microsoft Corporation in the United States has developed a new Windows operating system called WIN95, which is easier to operate and much easier than DOS?"

Li Junsheng and the others nodded. They were very concerned about this kind of matter. Not only at home, they also have some students abroad who often call to get some information about this and prevent themselves from falling behind.

"Have you ever played computer games?" Zhang Yang asked again.

"Mr. Zhang, what do you mean, we want to develop computer games?" Someone raised his hand and asked.

"Yes, we are going to develop computer games. Why, it seems that you are not very optimistic about this?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm not throwing cold water. It's actually not difficult for us to develop computer games. Even some of the games we play on game consoles can be run on computers by developing a program."

"But this will seriously affect the sales of our game console discs, and the company's overall revenue will decline, right?"

He still didn't say anything, computers now use floppy disks, once they develop them, and the other party uses floppy disks to make pirated games, they can't prevent them at all.

Now they produce VCD discs,

There are no competitors at all, and they are the only ones in the country who have the technology, but I heard that there is already a factory for pirated CDs in Xiangjiang.

However, the main production there is song discs and video discs, which hurt the interests of Wanyan Company the most, and have little impact on Zhi Duoxing.

Zhang Yang looked at each other: "If you don't do it, won't others be able to do it? Instead of handing over the initiative to others, why don't we do it ourselves?"

"Moreover, most of the people who buy computers now are government units and enterprises, and there are relatively few individuals."

Everyone is even more confused when they hear this sentence. There are very few personal computers, so how many people can play computer games? You can't say, you play computer games at work, right? What if the leader finds out?

Then they heard Zhang Yang's next sentence.

"So we have to develop some small games that run on the computer, which can be played with a mouse, windowed, and can be minimized at any time, and there is no sound, and the play has little impact."

Everyone is puzzled. They understand that Windows 95 is a window system. They can do it according to this direction of research and development, but there is no sound, and the effect will not be affected. This is impossible, right?

A game is nothing more than a plot, graphics, and sound. If there is no plot, it will be like ET developed by Atari. It has a huge fan base, but it turns out to be a dog and Atari goes bankrupt.

If the picture is not good, then many people may not watch it, let alone play it. Now we are all pursuing the beauty of the picture, we can’t go backwards, right?

Sound may seem like the least important of these, but it cannot be ignored. Whoever you see playing games has no sound at all, even if they are playing games secretly, they will wear headphones, otherwise the experience will be much worse.

"Have you ever played chess? Have you played puzzles? Have you ever played poker or mahjong? If these games have no sound, will the impact be great?"

Li Junsheng frowned: "Mr. Zhang, the audience for this type of game is not high, and there aren't many people who are willing to spend money on this type of game, right? We develop games not to make money?"

This is what Zhang Yang told him. The most fundamental purpose of developing games is to make money. Why work if you don’t make money?

"I'm just giving you an example. For this type of game, the experience of playing it on a computer will be worse. What if you can play online?"

"Mr. Zhang, the computers of many companies can't connect to the external network, and the network speed is so slow, what if the card is stuck? The price of the network fee is not low. With that money, why don't you find someone to play in person?" Someone Immediately objected.

"I know, but think about it, since you first got in touch with computers, how much has the speed of the Internet increased, and how much has the number of computers increased?"

"This is a gradual process, and it is also an inevitable trend in the future. So I want you to be prepared. You can develop a simple one now, and upgrade it in the future, in terms of gameplay and experience."

"I'm going to talk about the two game ideas below. Listen to them and see which team is willing to develop them. If not, then you can only draw lots to decide."

"The first game is very simple. Have you ever played a game of placing cards or mahjong tiles? They are two of the same. Put them away. Many places call this a match."

"We use different pictures instead of poker and mahjong tiles. This picture can be food, common things in life, or some pictures of people. They are also the same pictures, and the two are connected by a line to eliminate them."

"This line can have up to two right-angle bends, but it cannot pass through other pictures. In the end, all the pictures can be eliminated, and the level can be cleared. I call this game-Lianliankan!"

Everyone looked at each other, is this game fun? Where is the fun, why can't they realize it?

"The second game is based on the idea of ​​Tetris. A plane is divided into grids of the same size, and each grid has a gemstone. Different gemstones have different colors and shapes."

"Three jewels of the same color and shape can be eliminated if they are connected together. Of course, more than three gems are also acceptable. The more the number of gems connected together, the higher the score."

"Every time some are eliminated, random gems will fall on it to fill in the previous vacancies. Until a certain point is reached, the level is cleared."

"I call this game—Xiao Xiao Le!"
