Is it not a galgame?

Chapter 54 54. It's up to you!

1990 12 Month 26 Day.

Tokyo.

Pokeni Co., Ltd.
The end of the year is approaching.

Everyone was not in the mood to work and chatted at their workstations.

Apart from mentality, there is really nothing on hand now.

The main reason is that the company's future direction has not yet been determined, and no one knows what President Qing's plans for the next game will be.

"Nane, let's talk about what the president thinks, the Onmyoji series has such good results, so why don't you stop doing it again?"

"Who knows? It's not like you don't know about the president. He's all about going ashore."

"It's not so easy to go ashore. If you don't make any money, you always want to go to other categories. I think the president is really confused sometimes."

"But it's not necessarily true, isn't Onmyoji 2 changed from an orthodox RPG to a galgame?"

"I hope I don't make the same mistakes again, but don't wait until the project is almost completed before making changes. I really can't stand that."

"It's unnecessary to worry about these things now. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Why not think about what to do during the Chinese New Year?"

"Haha, that's right, the company's future is left to the president to decide. All we can do is to go all out in the direction he decides, that's all."

"That's right."

"By the way, do you want to go to the Fox Shrine to worship during the New Year?"

"Going to go, the fox parade is fun."

"What about grabbing the lucky bag?"

"Going to go! I hope to grab a big lucky bag this year!"

"Ah~ I'm already looking forward to it."

……

At the same time, in the president's office, Qing Zhiyuan was also worrying about the new game.

The "Onmyoji" series has achieved very good results and brought considerable income to the company.

According to financial statistics, the available funds on the company's books are about 3 million yuan.

The fact that pokeni can earn so much also means that DUN as an investor and the sellers also earn a lot.

3 million yuan is enough to go all out and develop a masterpiece game.

Qing Zhiyuan made a plagiarism, ah bah, production list in the computer.

Restricted by the current hardware level, there are not many options to choose from.

At present, home computers have not been fully popularized, mainly because the price of PCs has not come down.

In 1990, a 486-level computer would sell for nearly 70 yen.

In mainland China, it is also a terrible luxury of nearly 3 yuan.

Those who can afford computers are rich people.

The computer market is not mature enough, so some game types can be directly passed.

For example, the type of shooting.

Playing shooting games with a handle is not too painful.

The mouse and keyboard experience will be significantly better.

This kind of game is obviously more suitable for development on the computer side, Qing Zhiyuan will not touch it at present.

Otherwise, the company has just joined a platinum-level producer like Shinji Mikami, and the development of "Resident Evil" on the PC can better reflect his talent.

……

After removing the computer terminal, there are only a few platform options left:

The first one is to continue to develop on FC.

After all, FC and nes are still the home consoles with the largest number of users in the world.

In addition, you can choose Sega's MD and Nintendo's SFC.

The most advanced home game console is undoubtedly the SFC developed by Nintendo. If the FC is a horse-drawn carriage, the SFC is equivalent to a supercar.

Due to the late release of SFC, compared with other 16-bit hosts - Sega MD, SFC has better image expression.

Mostly with the help of special effects and sound effects such as Mode 7, mosaic, and HDMA, the overall performance surpassed any 486-level PC at that time, and was on par with the Pentium-level (586) PC.

Interestingly, the SFC main CPU 65c816 has an emulation mode, which can emulate the 6502 chip perfectly.

Obviously Nintendo once had a plan to make SFC compatible with FC software, but gave up because of cost issues.

But even a game console like this can hardly support action game masterpieces like Sekiro, or open world games that will be popular in the future...

According to Qing Zhiyuan's own estimation, if they make good use of Qianchuan Hongyi's hardware design ability, they may be able to make a game effect on SFC that is about 5 years ahead of the current one.

The main thing here is the game performance. If the image is supported, since the SFC can exceed 586, which is the most advanced computer level at present, there is no problem in supporting it to the level of "Fate".

……

If you are confident enough, you can develop it on MD and use it to attack Nintendo.

Help Sega establish console supremacy.

These two are currently fighting fiercely.

To be precise, it is now a tripartite situation of Nintendo, Sega and PCE.

Players have different evaluations of the three game companies. It can be seen that Sega's MD and NEC's PCE are optimistic at this time.

When Qing Zhiyuan learned about the actual situation, he was also secretly surprised——

When did MD and PCE crush Nintendo?

In fact it is.

Sega MD and PCE were released in 1988 and 1987, respectively. During this period, 16-bit home consoles can really play 8-bit machines.

It was only after Nintendo launched SFC that it reversed its passive situation.

Considering his own interests, Qing Zhiyuan finally decided to develop new works in SFC.

After all, Nintendo is in full swing. Even without pokeni, it feels like they will establish the hegemony of game consoles in the future. The battle between MD and SFC is only temporary, and there will be a battle between PS and SS in the future.

Take one step at a time and take one step at a time. At this time, it is the wisest choice to take the biggest boat.

……

The picture quality of Sfc can fully present the exquisite and attractive picture.

With Qing Zhiyuan's own painting ability, the game developed can definitely crush all contemporary products in terms of picture quality.

In order to get rid of the influence of the previous Onmyoji, Qing Zhiyuan decided to set up a new subsidiary in the next year, which is dedicated to the development of online games.

One cannot fall twice in the same pit!
……

All that remains is to choose the game carefully.

After thinking for a long time, Qing Zhiyuan still typed on the screen——

[Diablo] a few words.

……

In the history of game development, there are many milestone masterpieces.

Diablo is without a doubt one of them.

Especially Diablo 2, its game mode, rich combat system and good numerical system are regarded as classics by many game planners.

It is one of the compulsory courses that game planners, especially numerical and combat planners, must study and learn in their lifetime.

Although [Diablo] was originally produced on PC, now it is considered to be developed on the SFC platform, and it is operated with a handle, but as long as the design is good, it will not affect the game experience of the players in the slightest.

Ah!
It's up to you!
