Chapter 247 Sega Venus

"Finally done."

Catherine is like this with Zhanwang. She thinks she is very satisfied, but will users like it?

Catherine was a little unsure, and then she focused on Elsa.

"Elsa, come here and take a look at this, what do you think?"

When Elsa was in the UK, she didn't understand computers at all, nor did she know anything about hardware and software.

But after becoming Catherine's secretary, Elsa also had a lot of knowledge about computers because of her work.

Elsa took Catherine's plan and read it carefully.

"How about it? Isn't this very bāng?" Catherine asked.

"Well, compared to the current book, it has really changed a lot..." Elsa thought for a while and then said: "But I think it would be very cool if I could see pictures or thank you for other things.

Bar?"

Catherine nodded, that seemed to be the case.

Although specific applications will wait until IE3.0, this does not mean that current computers must not be able to browse computers, right?

After all, even in Catherine's future, Microsoft has developed a 64-bit version of wind.

So Catherine finally made a small modification to the system and added an advanced mode.

The browser will default to plain text mode, which is the normal mode. The advanced mode requires the user to manually turn it on.

If it is in normal mode, the IE browser will only load text, but if the advanced mode is turned on, the system will start to make some differences.

When loading a web page, the system will still give priority to loading plain text, and then continue to load images, audio and video, etc. After the memory is exhausted, the system will give priority to discarding video, audio, and then images.

When it is found that there is insufficient memory, the system will automatically refresh and when reloading, all the things that just consumed memory will be closed.

Doing this seems a bit like future copycat mobile phone browsers, but it seems to be somewhat different.

Catherine set up a big button for this advanced mode to facilitate users to switch.

For windows, the upper left corner is the title bar, and the upper right corner is for closing, maximizing, and minimizing.

In the lower row, on the left is the option button for the advanced system. To the right of the button are the forward and back buttons, and further to the right is the address bar.

Immediately afterwards, below is the text part of the browser, and below that is the status bar.

This picture of Catherine plagiarized the "future" web browser to a great extent, but Catherine didn't seem to be very conscious of it. She just felt that her creativity seemed to be very interesting...

"In this case, how about it?"

Catherine asked again.

"Well, it seems much better than before. But why can't the web page be like a chat room, allowing us to view it at any time? Why do we have to refresh it manually?"

"Uh..." Catherine didn't know how to explain it for a moment, so she faltered and then said: "Webpages and chat rooms are different. The content of webpages are all static consultations, so there is no need to do it at any time like in a chat room.

Connect to the Internet. This can also save more resources."

"I see."

Elsa nodded.

Anyway, that's how things settled.

Then, this will be handed over to the technical team for development - of course not Catherine, she can't take care of everything.

After completing this matter, Catherine received another news that research on the new Sega game console had begun and a sample machine had been produced.

After getting the news, Catherine couldn't wait to find the arcade development team.

First come first served, because SFC was developed, so our own company can get products faster than third parties, and can also develop new game consoles and various devices faster.

The new arcade machine is named "Sega Venus", which happens to be the company's second generation arcade product and corresponds to the second of the nine planets in the solar system.

——Despite this, Catherine has registered trademarks from Sega Mercury to Sega Galaxy. If her new product is developed by then, but the trademark is registered, she will not have time to cry.

.

Although the second generation machine has appeared, the current Sega Venus is only a test version.

What is currently placed in the research group is just a simple motherboard connected to a display screen, and then connected to an external joystick device. As for the rest... there is nothing.

Catherine has not had an experience with arcades for a long time - in this regard, Catherine does not have any "skill tree" to help her - and thanks to these technicians, they were able to develop the Sega Venus.

Now, the game on the arcade is Street Fighter 2 developed by Blizzard Entertainment.

Today's arcade machines are 16-bit arcade machines. Compared with 8-bit arcade machines, the color and smoothness of the game are different. Catherine tried playing it twice. After defeating the first two opponents, her own

Chun Li was defeated in the third level.

“It feels pretty good, the picture is very interesting.”

Catherine's comments made the researchers breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sega Venus has very good support for dynamic images. This is developed for the characteristics of arcade machines."

A technician explained.

Catherine nodded, that was what happened.

Arcade machines do not need to be as "playable" as home machines. People can linger in front of a game and play it for a whole day.

What arcade machines need is a kind of excitement and stimulation, so it is very good to use arcade machines to create dynamic games.

Just like games like Street Fighter.

Someone else said: "We originally wanted to try GPU, but Mr. Roberts said that the development of GPU will take at least two to three years..."

They actually want to use GPUs to develop arcade machines?

Catherine was stunned for a moment, but she thought the idea was good.

"GPU is very effective in 3D. We can use it to develop 3D games in the future. As for now... we just need to call the current arcade Sega Venus 2D. When the GPU is available, we will call it

For Sega Venus 3D, isn’t this enough?”

Although it has just been researched, it will take at least two years before it can be put on the market.

Sales are now on the rise, and Catherine has not thought about ruining her financial resources.

Whether it is a Nimbus game console or an arcade machine, it will now be hidden away by Catherine, and new products will be released when this supernova game console begins to decline.

"Are there any other games?"

Catherine asked again.

"For the time being, we have developed such a semi-finished product... The current Sega Venus still needs some debugging and debugging, which will take about half a year. Only after the platform becomes stable will we continue to develop a real game. This

The half-finished Street Fighter was actually developed by us to test the machine."

Catherine nodded.

Originally, Catherine didn't care about this aspect at all, but when the other party said this, Catherine became a little itchy and wanted to play arcade games.

However, the development of arcade games is much more troublesome than that of home consoles, especially the grasp of the rhythm of the arcade. Such a game can neither make a person sit in the same position for a long time and be unable to move, nor can it make people unable to move due to a sudden change.

You will fail within minutes and become disgusted with the game.

The center of the game should be the word "cool".

In addition, what arcades need most is an interactive character, which allows two people to compete one-on-one, or work together to clear the level. This is a very good thing.

At this time, Catherine suddenly thought of a game - live football.

Yes, you can definitely make a football game by yourself.

Speaking of football games, third parties such as Atari already have many such football games. On the contrary, Catherine's Blizzard has made little progress in this area.

The live football that Catherine is thinking about is very different from today's football. The biggest feature of Catherine's live football is that it has full commentary, just like real football.

In its original history, there were many "live" games on the Super Nintendo (SFC). The selling point of such games was full-length commentary.

Even games like masturbation will have full explanations.

"How about making a football game?"

Catherine said.

"Football? But we have never made a game like this..." Some technicians looked a little embarrassed.

"You can try to add a commentary to the game as our feature, wouldn't that be it?"

Catherine reminded.

"Commentary?"

"Yes, the capacity of the disc is so large, why can't we make good use of it? We can design a game, and then the player does something, and then the system will read the corresponding audio, isn't that okay?

"

It sounds very good.

The technicians nodded thoughtfully.

Americans like sports games very much, so development in this area will definitely not make a loss. Catherine is very confident about this.

After all, she can be considered an American in this life.

Sports games are also the most suitable game type for arcades.

It’s not just about football. As long as Catherine is willing, it’s completely possible to launch live tennis and live table tennis. Catherine can’t guarantee it in other places, but in the United States, it is very simple to succeed.
