Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 97 1. "Diablo" is officially released (please subscribe!)

In November, Sega and Sony's GP handheld trial machines were completed, and a prototype was also sent to pokeni.

Qing Zhiyuan played around with it, and there was only one initial match-3 game on it to test the game performance.

However, Qing Zhiyuan’s experience is not bad.

To be honest, the design of the prototype is not bad. It is not a black prototype that inherits Sega's tradition, but a white prototype.

Moreover, it has a smooth and beautiful appearance, exquisite shape, and is very comfortable to touch.

These are all due to Sega's previous experience in making game consoles.

Because of Sony's rechargeable lithium-ion battery support, the weight of the current body has been greatly reduced, from more than 500 grams to more than 250 grams now, which is a huge weight loss.

The casing of this game console is entirely made of plastic, so it is very light.

Holding the two hands together, the operation feels just right.

Although the color screen is not that advanced yet, and the screen is a bit blurry and dim in bright environments, the effect is quite good.

After playing match-3 for a while, Qing Zhiyuan gained a lot of confidence in this new handheld console.

In addition, Sega also sent detailed encoding formats via email.

In other words, pokeni can now develop games according to the needs of the new handheld console.

Now that the work of the Dark Project team is completed, it is natural to shift the focus to Pokémon.

Therefore, Qing Zhiyuan announced the development content of Pokémon project within the company in the afternoon.

…

One of the projects currently under development by the company is Pokémon.

In fact, Qing Zhiyuan has not been idle during this period of time. Together with the new planner Lisa Asano, they have almost sorted out all the Pokémon plans.

In addition to character design in Pokémon, there are also many programming and art requirements.

After all, planning comes first before development. This can be regarded as the process standard in the game industry.

When he saw the requirements document, the main programmer Akanishi Ken's head was big.

"What? Does the handheld console support battle mode?"

"There was no such game before, right?"

The programmer said, President, you are making things difficult for me.

In fact, except for the online function, everything else is pretty good. The essence of Pokémon battle is turn-based, and the company has very rich experience in this aspect.

The game process is not too complicated, or because [all Pokémon can be captured] and [all Pokémon can become enemies], it saves a lot of program work on monster resources.

Because when developing games before, when making enemies, it was equivalent to having multiple people write a set of logic and combat modes tailored to them.

This time, all Pokémon adopt the [Standard Human Template]. It is relatively easier to make differentiation on this basis.

It is equivalent to the programmers completing a job, and the rest is left to the planner to configure.

But the most troublesome thing is the online battle and exchange functions.

This has never been studied before.

"This function is actually not difficult," Qing Zhiyuan lightly took out the manual provided by Sega, opened the page of the infrared transmission function, and explained, "Look, it clearly explains the frequency band of the infrared signal, the information packet How to package, if transmit and receive.

In fact, just follow the rules inside.

Nothing is difficult. "

The difference is only in the carrier. Previously, it was transmitted through electronic signals in fixed hardware, but now it has become infrared waves, but it is essentially the same. It is all about packaging the information into transmittable infrared waves, and then transmitting it on the machine. Transcode after receiving.

The amount of information is actually very, very small.

From a coding perspective, it is equivalent to all the Pokémon in each machine being packaged and installed, but only being given a signal to unlock and replace.

The transmission volume is very low, otherwise it would not be possible to operate it on current handheld devices.

Qing Zhiyuan explained, and the programmers were left speechless.

Akanishi Ken rolled his eyes at him, "President, you said it easily."

Isn’t it our business then?

"Okay, let's study it."

…

Except for Pokémon.

There is also a galgame that is under development and will soon be in the final stages. It is a project initiated by Gen Urobuchi and is called "Reverse Degree Man"

A pending game, Diablo, is currently the company's money-making focus.

The entire month of November is the announcement period for Diablo.

There was no money for publicity before, and there is no money now either. (Mainly because pokeni spend more money than they make)

I can only search a little bit in publicity.

But fortunately, the 1990s are not as scary as the future of 2020. It will cost billions of yen to just make a publicity.

Neon doesn't exist now.

Big manufacturers with money just advertise on TV, while those without money work with dealers to create some posters for promotion.

pokeni is the kind that has no money.

In addition to posting posters at points of sale, pokeni also posted a lot of [Diablo] advertisements on advertising boards at tram stops.

If you want to distribute advertisements in public places, you need to apply to the relevant departments, and the fees paid are actually not low.

…

"Huh? Pokeni's new game?"

On the way to get off work, Furukawa Hirose saw the poster posted in the bus advertising column at a glance.

On the poster is a barbarian warrior holding an axe, an archer on the left, and a hooded mage holding a staff on the right.

The actions of several people are very tense.

Behind them is a huge multi-horned demon with a ferocious face.

The color of the entire poster is dark red, giving off a strange atmosphere.

In the middle are a few big characters——

"Diablo."

Produced by pokeni Co., Ltd.

"The poster is very well made, with distinctive styling and sophistication."

only……

If he hadn't seen the name [pokeni] below, it would be difficult for Furukawa Hirosawa to connect this game with pokeni.

After all, this company has previously produced works such as "Onmyoji" and "Mermaid Heart".

Beautiful, warm and touching, these are the impression pokeni gives people.

After all, the light is bright, and the painting style should be more Japanese style.

But the poster in front of me is an out-and-out Omi style, rough and full of wild power.

…

"Want to buy it?" A boy next to him said to himself.

Furukawa Haoze glanced at them, and they didn't know each other.

I guess he is also a pokeni player.

Furukawa Hirose thought.

But...

No matter what others think, he is definitely going to give it a try.

…

On December 1st, "Diablo" was officially released.

…

——————————————————————

I will publish the first chapter first, and I am still working on coding the rest.

In addition, the author is also busy revising the content of the previous chapters, which is really very busy.

There will definitely be at least 5 chapters updated today, so don’t worry.
