I want to make a game

The Han Dynasty Extreme Masters is the top e-sports professional league in Liu Zhiyuan's plan, just like the NBA and the five major football leagues. Only the top players can participate.

The current situation is obviously wrong. 100 million people have signed up. This number completely exceeds Liu Zhiyuan's estimate. Let's not talk about whether those arcades can bear this exaggerated number. There are too many possible changes.

"Thank you for your suggestions these days, thank you very much."

After five days of discussions, the rules of the Han Dynasty Extreme Masters were finally finalized. There were no major changes overall, but they were split into two events.

The Han Dynasty Points Tournament and the Han Dynasty Extreme Masters will be held separately. There is no way. There are not even e-sports clubs now. It is unrealistic to establish a lower-level league for the Extreme Masters. This can only be done first.

After seeing everyone off in person, Liu Zhiyuan turned around and found that the representatives from the NBA had not gotten on the bus.

"President Liu, President Stern invites you to participate in this NBA All-Star Game. Is it convenient for you?"

"Of course it's convenient. How about we set off in two days?"

"Then I'll have to worry about it for a while longer."

After settling in with the NBA representatives, Liu Zhiyuan went to Chen Guoqiang to explain some things about the Chinese Zodiac Adventure and returned to the headquarters.

"President Yamamoto, how are the bugs in the NBALIVE AI part being resolved?"

The president of TECHNOS, Yamamoto Mishima, looked unhappy. This game he had always looked down on was much more difficult than he thought.

"not too good."

The AI ​​of the system is too complex, much more complicated than the Hot Blood Basketball series. Hot Blood Basketball is a basketball game without rules, and its selling point has never been a rigid basketball game.

But the selling point of NBA LIVE is a basketball game that is close to reality. Once the game is close to reality, the difficulty will increase exponentially. At the very least, some basic operations must be guaranteed. Slam dunk at the 3-point line? Shoot the whole court? This is still NBA basketball.

Game?

"I'll try..."

Yamamoto Mishima left his seat, and a few minutes later, Liu Zhiyuan frowned and put down the Pokemon II test machine in his hand.

To describe this game in one word, it would be poor. Two words would mean very poor. Three words would mean very poor. The rules of the game are not bad. After all, the NBA also sent professional personnel to help develop it.

But the tactical aspects and the movement and collision of character models are simply ridiculously bad. This is related to the function of the Elf II, but the most important thing is that there is a problem with the design of the computer AI.

"So be it."

This is the disadvantage of his long-term absence from the development team as the team leader. Others do not understand the core of the NBA basketball game at all. They are all writing programs according to the previous ideas. Can the program of passionate basketball be applied to NBA LIVE? I am just kidding.

"President Liu, give me a little more time, give me a little more and I promise I can optimize it."

Yamamoto Mishima was not happy. Although this game seemed to players to be developed by the Han Dynasty, people in the game industry knew that this was a work produced by TECHNOS.

"I assure you, I already have an idea."

How could he release this obviously problematic game? This would damage their TECHNOS brand, especially when this game is in the spotlight and TECHNOS cannot hide it at all.

A game that is close to reality. This idea that seemed ordinary to him at the beginning is not ordinary at all! It was promoted together with the NBA. With this kind of publicity offensive, it is strange that this game was not understood by all basketball fans. At that time,

Once dissatisfaction breaks out among players, the first target of attack will definitely be their TECHNOS.

Liu Zhiyuan has done everything he can, including surprising creativity and extraordinary promotion. If this game disappears in the end, then TEECHNOS, the main developer, will be the culprit. At most, players will only blame Liu Zhiyuan for not trusting him.

people.

"There's no time. The NBA All-Star Game starts in a few days."

This game is very bad, but Liu Zhiyuan has been mentally prepared. To put it bluntly, this game is not selling the quality of the game at all, especially on a 16-bit handheld console. This is a game that sells emotions and a sense of substitution.

game.

The NBA series that has been developed for more than 20 years in later generations is full of bugs. He does not expect Yamamoto Mishima to design a better program than that. These bugs will affect the player's gaming experience, but they have no choice, right?

"I will ask the elf development team to send you 100 handheld consoles for testing the special version later. My request is that within 2 days, you must input the NBALIVE game program into it without any errors."

Seeing Yamamoto Mishima's unwilling expression, Liu Zhiyuan turned around and walked away. After more than 20 years, the NBA series has not been perfected. How many months can Yamamoto Mishima improve it? This is a game in which the deeper it goes, the more problems it has.

"Mr. Liu, does the second generation of the elf need special treatment?"

Liu Zhiyuan understood what Ma Yun meant. It was a bit wasteful for the second generation of Elf to be exposed to the public's view so easily.

"No, just handle it normally, but remember to add a row of small letters to remind you, NBALIVE special prototype machine."

The batch models of the Elf II have not yet been fully completed. The general design is almost completed, and the rest is testing. But these special test versions are different, this is a completely complete model.

The performance is between 1 and 2 times that of the regular version of the Elf, depending on the game. There are also a number of more special models among the test machines, which are models that only support one game.

The performance of these models is even three times that of the ordinary Pokémon II that plays the same game. After all, ordinary Pokémon can replace game cartridges, and the balance between multiple games must be considered in terms of functionality.

These special models don't have this concern at all. NBA LIVE shows the character's picture quality to death, Need for Speed ​​burns the graphics card like crazy, etc. In order to prevent players from mistaking this special handheld machine for being the upcoming Pokemon II,

It is necessary to add some typography.

"If we don't have an opponent, then the Pokemon II will naturally not be able to show its face so easily, but don't forget about Nintendo."

Historically, SFC was released on November 21, 1990, and now it is February 1990. What's more, will Nintendo, whose history was changed by him, still release it in November?

It’s unlikely. The biggest possibility is that it will be released earlier than in history. Since the second generation of Gremlins has regarded SFC as a competitor, the publicity campaign must also begin. SFC is likely to start publicity around April. This time, it is

We are truly competing on the same stage.

Historically, SFC has broken countless records in terms of publicity, not to mention that now, the cost of this publicity is very likely to exceed one billion US dollars. In the entire history, no matter what industry, there has never been such a crazy promotion fee.

Because SFC is the last piece of clothing for Nintendo. If it loses again, it will really have nothing. You don’t have to think about it to know that Hiroshi Yamauchi will definitely do whatever it takes.

"FC has been out for 5 years. It is too old and outdated. Do you think Hiroshi Yamauchi will release Nintendo's new console in the face of the pressure from Sega MD and Han Dynasty Gremlins?"

Ma Yun immediately understood the meaning of this sentence. The war between the Han Dynasty and Nintendo was about to start again. This time, it would be more terrifying than before.
