Restart the Gaming Era

Shortly after the "Zodiac Guardian" project was developed, Moya's new handheld was officially launched online.

This handheld is named MGC2, which means the second generation of MobileGameCube. At the same time, a large M symbol highlights it as "Mobile" (removable) and also highlights the logo of Moya Technology.

There are three **** games to launch.

The first game is "Endless Tower" developed by a game company in Huaxia. It is an RPG game from the perspective of God. The main gameplay is to climb the tower, and the game content is very suitable for the handheld at any time. Take it out and play.

The second game is "Dream Home" developed by a Western game company in the second area. It is a simulation business game. It mainly uses small games to unlock various areas of the home and conduct planning and simulation construction. Handheld features.

The third game is "Dawn of Darkness" developed by JAGames, another Western game company in the first zone. This is a conventional over-the-shoulder perspective Western fantasy theme RPG game. There are more than ten big scenes and more complex bosses in the game. war.

When Moya Technology finalized these three games, it also obviously worked a lot.

Among them, the development of JAGames, the developer of "Dark Dawn", has strong R & D strength. Just as "Dark Dawn" is about to be listed, Moya Technology has paid a great price to buy the "Dark Dawn" game on the handheld for a limited time. Exclusive.

A one-month time-limited monopoly, directly invested 15 million, and this is still under the price of various complex terms.

Compared with the price of Zhong Ming here, 15 million looks quite cheap. After all, JAGames is a big factory, and it has a worldwide reputation. It is only a little more famous for the low-light studio. The two cannot be compared.

But this is not the case.

Although "Dawn of Darkness" was developed by JAGames, it was not made by the company's strongest project team. The quality of the game has been seen and played by Lin Xiaoguang. Compared with the 3A masterpieces of first-class manufacturers, there is indeed a big gap.

Otherwise, it will not be possible to buy a time-limited monopoly of 15 million.

But then again, there is nothing really good about Moya Technology here, there are better works, but monopoly can't afford it. Many of the good works are monopolized by several companies, and the quotations have also been speculated to be 30 million to 50 million, even hundreds of millions. Moya Technology cannot afford to spend this money if it has the money.

Because Moya Technology, including Lin Xiaoguang, didn't really have much confidence in this handheld. The sole generation who bought a game smashed into 50 million, even hundreds of millions. As a result, only five were sold. Sixty thousand units, isn't that lost pants?

What's more, many better masterpieces are actually developed for the functions of mainstream host devices. This handheld may need some castration to run. Those well-known game makers are unwilling to cooperate and the negotiation is very difficult.

Therefore, these three starting **** games are already the limit that Moya Technology can bear.

Of course, in addition to these games, Moya Technology also has some other games, such as some bracelet games developed by Huaxia Company, or previous-generation transplant games, etc. From the perspective of the game library, the number is quite a lot, but There is no one who can fight.

In these three games, I can still get a little bit.

...

In these days, Lin Xiaoguang didn't sleep well and was very worried.

MGC2 this handheld, from project establishment to research and development, also has a lot of setbacks, from the overall design to the procurement of various components, quality control, there is no less care. It can be said that this handheld is the key to Moya Technology's turning over in the field of consoles. If it is cold, basically one foot has already been taken out, and it will be difficult to come back again.

Lin Xiaoguang looked at the data provided by his staff. The global appointment data of the MGC2 handheld is in his early 60s.

There are still some gaps in his imagination, but it is still acceptable.

Lin Xiaoguang's expected sales in the first month are 100,000 units, added together worldwide.

This expected sales volume is actually not high. After all, many popular hosts are in many developed regions. In the first month, there are only two or three hundred thousand sales in one district. Global sales are all going to millions.

There are only 60,000 reservation data worldwide, which is a bit shabby. Even the bracelets of some second-rate bracelet manufacturers in Huaxia District can easily sell this sales volume.

What's more, this is the number of reservations that slowly accumulated after Moya Technology invested a lot of advertising and promoted the advantages of its own handheld. In the end, the estimated sales are lower next month, Is light.

Such appointment data, Lin Xiaoguang must not sleep well.

However, it is not completely irretrievable. At least after the game is released, players get the machine to play and experience the **** game. Word of mouth may be able to counterattack.

If everyone is satisfied with the game, and the performance of the handheld is really good, then maybe the sales volume can be gradually raised in the future, these are not necessarily.

...

On April 10th, the MGC2 handheld of Moya Technology was officially released!

On the day of sale, Moya Technology placed advertisements on many shopping websites and invited celebrity endorsements, and the battle was not small.

Within a week after the launch, Lin Xiaoguang has also been closely monitoring sales figures and online reviews of this handheld.

In terms of sales, in addition to the more than 60,000 people who made an appointment, many people did choose to buy. On the whole, it seems that there is still a drama to complete the goal of 100,000 units in the first month.

As a result, Lin Xiaoguang did not expect that the online evaluation of this handheld was not good!

"Received the goods, the quality of the machine itself is good, the feel is also good, I feel that the various configurations are also okay, that is, I feel that the game above is not very playable, I have played three games a day, I feel that there is no motivation to touch again, premonition To eat ash. "

"Dawn of Darkness" is said to be produced by JA, and the result is really not fun to play. It may be that the handheld screen is too small, and on the other hand, it is necessary to read a note every time you change the picture. It is very easy to get sleepy. "Endless The Tower is fun, and it's a good pastime as a game to pass the time. "

"Yes, I also think" Endless Tower "is good. Although it is not nutritious, it is not tired to brush. It may be the only game on the handheld that is willing to open.

"Did you say that" Dawn of Darkness "is too much ... I think this game is actually okay. If it is published on other console platforms, don't read it for such a long time, it is still very good."

"Did you ignore" Dream Home "... I think this casual game is still good and it suits my appetite."

"Fantasy Home"? Are there similar simulation casual games on the bracelet? I bought nearly 2,000 oceans to buy a handheld just to play this? "

Lin Xiaoguang casually brushed up a few comments and saw a angina pectoris.

The situation is not good!

Looking at the ratings of these three games again, it feels even cooler.

Endless Tower, 7.5 points.

Dream Home, 6.8 points.

"Dawn of Darkness", 6.9 points!

I did not expect that the "Dawn of Darkness", which had high hopes, only got this point, and it was not even as good as "Endless Tower".

In fact, strictly speaking, the quality of "Dawn of Darkness" is definitely higher than this rating, but many players who have come to this game are very disappointed and have scored low, so the rating of this game is very low.

Because of the game "Dawn of Darkness", most of them are senior console players. There are one or two mainstream consoles at home, and they have become accustomed to watching the characters on the big TV.

And this handheld, although it is a 4K picture, but such a small screen compared to a TV the size of a wall, but far worse. And the function of the handheld is limited, after all, it is also loaded. The host may directly use a period of real-time calculations to fool it. If the performance of the handheld is not good, you need to read the note.

Read it and read it, the player's mentality can easily explode.

After all, this is an old age, technology is so advanced, and maps are loaded by reading, it is very low!

What's more, "Dawn of Darkness" is not the work of JAGames's core team. It has an empty name and many players come here. When I feel like I've been deceived, I will take a bad review.

This time, the score of the handheld is also lowered!

On the shopping website, many of the negative reviews below the handheld are in this style:

"The machine is not bad, and the logistics is fast. The game is not very fun, and I am ready to send it to friends."

Lin Xiaoguang looked tired for a while.

Who can stand it!

The most worrying thing happened, the machine was not a big problem, but was burdened by the exclusive game!

After all, the handheld is different from the bracelet. As long as the bracelet is technically good, there is no situation where the game is not suitable, and many people buy the bracelet just for office use, playing games is only a subsidiary use. The only value of the handheld is to play games. If there are not a few fun games on it, who will buy them?

Lin Xiaoguang called the assistant next to him: "Give feedback to JA over the changes, did they reply?"

The assistant hesitated: "Responded. However, Mr. Lin, what they mean is, don't change ..."

"Do not change?" Lin Xiaoguang said for a moment. "It is stipulated in the agreement that they should cooperate with us to optimize the game. How can it not be changed?"

The assistant replied: "The other party said that the optimization stipulated in the agreement is to optimize the performance of the game to ensure that the game can run smoothly on our handheld. The optimization we proposed involves the underlying architecture of the game and the basic gameplay design. The change was too much work for them, and ... they said it didn't make sense. "

"Then look for the Legal Department!" Lin Xiaoguang was angry.

The assistant said timidly: "Have found it, the opinion of the Legal Department is that the winning rate of litigation in this respect is indeed not large, and it offends the big factory of JA, and loses more ..."

"..."

Lin Xiaoguang was speechless.

The first time after the handheld was released, Lin Xiaoguang collected some players' strong opinions on "Dawn of Darkness", saying that the reading time was too long, which seriously affected the rhythm of the game, and in some combat designs, it was obviously cut corners, so Very dissatisfied.

Lin Xiaoguang asked people to sort out these opinions and wrote a revised opinion to JAGames. I hope they can optimize "Dark Dawn" in subsequent versions, especially focusing on solving the problem of too long reading time.

As a result, JA simply ignored it!

The reason for JA is also very good. We have moved to the handheld platform according to your request, "Dawn of Darkness". It is not blocked and runs normally. As a result, you now let me remove the reading as much as possible? ?

The long reading time is because the function of your handheld is not working. There is no such long reading time on other hosts!

JA is also a big factory. Although this game is made by a small project in the big factory, if it really tears up, then things are really not easy to clean up.

Lin Xiaoguang was desperate.

However, there is nothing to do.

...

On the other side.

Everyone at Low Light Studio is more or less paying attention to the performance of this handheld MGC2.

"Not very good, I feel this handheld, a little bit cold." Jia Jia said.

Although there is no specific sales data here, but double the major shopping sites, look at the evaluation of the products, and then look at the discussion of this handheld on the Internet, you can basically guess a seven or eight.

"What to do, or ... Let's hurry up before we sign the contract," Zhou Sen said.

Obviously, seeing that the performance of this handheld is so bleak, everyone is afraid of being hindered.

According to the current trend, MGC2 ’s sales in the first month are estimated to be in the order of 100,000. The research and development of “Zodiac Guardian” will be completed next month, and sales data will be released next month. By that time, the global sales The MGC2 handheld is estimated to be 300,000 to 400,000 dead.

Even if Moya Technology continues to produce new games for this handheld, the **** games have become so cool, and it is difficult to make much progress in the future.

All handheld devices have sold a total of three or four hundred thousand units. The sales volume of the "Zodiac Guardian" is estimated to be at most 200,000. It is impossible to buy "Zodiac Guardian" for everyone who bought the handheld? That is unreasonable.

In other words, the sales volume of the handheld has already stuck the ceiling of the sales volume of "Zodiac Guardian". What significance does this have for the gambling agreement?

It's too late to start now, anyway, after the game is made, just find a host platform and send it, the same.

Zhong Ming smiled: "Don't worry. I'll take a demo to Mr. Lin to see it tomorrow, or we will just sign a time-limited monopoly agreement, or knock him again ~ www.readwn.com ~ Now Mr. Lin should be in a hurry Like ants on a hot pot, we need to save them. "

Zhou Sen was a little bit square: "Save him? I think I think a little bit, let's take care of ourselves ..."

"It's okay, you don't need to worry about these things, and concentrate on making the game good." Zhong Ming said.

To be honest, when looking at this sales and evaluation, Zhong Ming was also a bit surprised.

Too spicy chicken ...

When the Switch went on sale, Neon ’s domestic sales in the first month alone amounted to more than 300,000, and global sales reached more than 2.4 million.

As a result, the quality of the MGC2 handheld is also good. As a result, it has sold less than 100,000 worldwide. This is still under the premise of advertising a lot, which is too much.

However, according to everyone's evaluation, the key is that there is no reliable game. Everyone is satisfied with the function and quality of this handheld.

In this case, there is still the possibility of salvation.
