Restart the Gaming Era

Lin Xiaoguang climbed up along the hind legs of the cow, and finally managed to climb up the back of the cow, but at this time, his physical strength was almost exhausted.

Lin Xiaoguang looked at the round green physical strength groove with great concern, and carefully let the protagonist star appendage stand on the back of the giant cow, recovered his strength, and quickly grasped it again.

When the star diaphragm was close to the weak point of the boss, a seal rune written in the ancient carcass also emerged from the boss's hair, emitting light and very conspicuous.

"This is the weakness of boss? Is it enough to stab here?"

Lin Xiaoguang controlled the starring, grasping the hair on the boss with his left hand, and holding up the sword in his right hand, stabbed sharply!

There was a crisp sound of "，", and the long sword was deeply submerged in the seal rune. When the sword was drawn, a lot of black smoke poured out of the wound!

At the same time, the giant cow seemed to feel the pain, and began to twist frantically!

The handheld handle of Lin Xiaoguang's hand began to vibrate, cooperating with the struggle of the giant cow, startled him.

However, Lin Xiaoguang did not forget to press the key firmly to prevent being dropped by the giant bull.

It didn't take long for the giant cow to return to its calmness and continue to take heavy steps forward.

Lin Xiaoguang stood up again to recover his strength, then leaned down to catch the boss's hair, and then a sword!

Repeated three times in this way, the boss's blood volume dropped by about half, but the seal rune on the lower back also disappeared.

Lin Xiaoguang carefully started to crawl toward the second weakness, the giant bull's head.

There were some setbacks this time. When climbing to the height of the giant bull's spine, the giant bull just shook his body suddenly, and caught off guard, the star trap was thrown off the bull's back and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, there is not much blood dropped from such a high place, only about a quarter is dropped. It can be seen that falling from a high altitude and falling blood is the core competitiveness of the protagonist to overcome this giant boss. If it is some The words of the Demon Hunter may not be able to complete this task.

Although he was thrown down to make Lin Xiaoguang's chest full, but after all, the boss's blood strips had been killed half, and it was impossible to give up. Lin Xiaoguang started to climb from the boss's feet again, and in accordance with the original route, again launched an impact on the boss's head.

"Huh, although there is only one boss, and the battle is not particularly complicated, it is quite tiring." Lin Xiaoguang said with emotion.

It stands to reason that the difficulty of this boss battle is not too high.

There is no mob war, just find the boss and start playing, you do n’t need to pay attention to avoiding boss skills, rolling, stealing output, etc. just like other games, you only need to climb to the boss and find two weak points, each with a few swords, even if Passed.

The key is how to get to the weak point of the boss.

Before climbing to the boss, it mainly tests the player's position and cannot be hit by the boss's attack; after climbing to the boss, it tests the climbing skills of the player, such as how to choose a climbing route and how to change it. Good physical distribution, choose where to rest and restore physical strength, and so on.

After being familiar with the rhythm of the boss, the difficulty is actually not high, but the shock brought by the battle itself is far beyond imagination.

After experiencing some setbacks, Xinglan finally climbed to the top of the monster's head. At this time, turning the right stick, the surrounding scenery was unobstructed. Moreover, the boss is constantly moving. This scene is shocking and difficult to describe in words.

Finally, the last sword was stabbed, and the giant cow let out a wailing noise, then knelt down on the ground.

A small mountain-like giant banged on the ground with a bang, and the entire screen shook violently.

Xinglang jumped down from the giant cow, and there were countless diffused black gas on the giant cow, which instantly pierced the body of Xinglan, causing him to fall into a coma ...

After a brief cutscene, Xinglan has returned to the temple, and in the temple, the stone statue representing the "ugly cow" is crashing and breaking into a rubble.

"Did you finish the first boss?" Zhong Ming asked.

Lin Xiaoguang nodded: "It's over! It feels good! This boss battle has not been seen before, it's very innovative! And the screen is also good, the action is also good, and all aspects are well done! But I have a problem, this game, is Seamless map? "

Zhong Ming nodded: "Yes, seamless map."

Lin Xiaoguang was a little puzzled: "Is it possible to make a seamless map with the function of the handheld? Before we also wanted JA to make" Dawn of Darkness "into a seamless map, and said there, it couldn't be done."

"Of course I can, but it depends on the specific method." Zhong Ming smiled. "According to the accuracy and amount of resources of the dark dawn, making a seamless map is really difficult, because it takes a long time to load." Zodiac Guardian can make seamless maps, because we have removed all the mobs, there is no situation of multiple monsters on the same screen, which greatly reduces the demand for performance, so we can guarantee the situation of high accuracy and quality To make a seamless map. "

Zhong Ming paused and said, "Of course, if there are many scene elements, you can actually make a seamless map, provided the picture quality is shrinking. However, shrinking the picture quality is not a big problem. After all, this is a palm Machine, shrinking to 2K or even 1080P, as long as you work hard to make up for the painting style, it can completely make up for the problem of resolution. "

Lin Xiaoguang nodded frequently.

Now, this is called professional!

Zhong Ming's remarks made Lin Xiaoguang spit out a spit in his heart.

Didn't JA say that he couldn't read it? But "Zodiac Guardian" was removed obviously, and the picture quality has not shrunk!

Of course, the premise of doing this is that "Guardian of the Zodiac" cut off all the mobs, but anyway, this is still a problem of game design!

Regardless of the process, from the results, "Zodiac Guardian" has indeed achieved the best operating effect on the MGC2 handheld, it can be said that the performance of the handheld is squeezed to the extreme, and the performance of the screen is basically not lost Mainstream game works.

Moreover, the previous requirements made by Lin Xiaoguang, "Guardian of the Zodiac" were really completely completed!

It is a Huaxia style theme game in itself, but the content of Huaxia in it is not too much. Westerners can understand it, and it will definitely be attracted by this novel style of painting.

Maximize the skills of the handheld to the limit, and the picture performance is excellent.

With a mainstream over-the-shoulder perspective, all operations and basic action systems are aligned with mainstream games. For most console players, there is no obstacle to receiving the operation of this game.

The most precious thing is that the gameplay is innovative! This way of fighting ordinary people and super-boss made Lin Xiaoguang's eyes shine. The previous game seems to have never been before!

"Yes, Teacher Zhong, I am completely obedient. This is your first 3D game in Weaklight Studio? I can't believe that you can't make this effect in many big factories!" Lin Xiaoguang Heartfelt praise.

Zhong Ming smiled: "The effect is not a particularly complicated effect. Our low-light studio has always only done boutique games, which are all basic operations."

"Then, Teacher Zhong, it should be finished in another month, right? Now it seems that I am looking forward to your life-saving game!"

Lin Xiaoguang is not shy about it. The sales of MGC2 handhelds, even if Zhong Ming does not have specific data, can certainly guess from the online wind reviews.

"No problem, but our agreement, I think it needs to be changed slightly. Now we are more inclined to sign a time-limited exclusive agreement. After all, if the MGC2 handheld is too small, it will have a large sales volume for our games. Influence, it has no meaning to the gambling agreement. "Zhong Ming said.

Lin Xiaoguang's face changed slightly, but he nodded: "Okay, I can talk about this."

It's not that Zhong Ming is not kind enough to temporarily increase the price, and the key agreement has not been signed. In the business talk, Zhong Ming must seek the maximum benefit for Weiguang Studio. This is normal and Lin Xiaoguang can understand it naturally.

If Lin Xiaoguang had signed the agreement and signed a permanent monopoly as early as the first time he met, it would be a relative loss for Zhong Ming. After all, Zhong Ming's first price was just a permanent monopoly of 30 million.

It took Lin Xiaoguang to buy JAGames' "Dark Dawn" for 15 million only to buy a time-limited monopoly. Looking at the quality, the quality of "Zodiac Guardian" is much better than "Dark Dawn". If you buy a permanent monopoly, that is Treasure jewel, a gold signboard.

But Lin Xiaoguang hesitated, and after Zhong Ming proposed a gambling agreement, Lin Xiaoguang did not immediately say that the agreement was signed, but wanted to wait until the demo came out.

Now the demo is out, but the sales volume of the handheld is also coming out, and the negotiating position of the two sides has naturally changed.

After talking for more than half an hour, the two reached a consensus temporarily.

Signing a time-limited monopoly agreement is not just a time-limited monopoly for one month, but a time-limited monopoly for three months.

Lin Xiaoguang originally wanted to spend more money and monopolized for one year, but Zhong Ming did not agree. How many games is enough for him in one year, and the technology of this world is developing so fast. One year later, "Guardian of the Zodiac" is definitely not out of date in terms of gameplay, but if I want to go to other platforms to sell, most of them have to be remade. What's more, the attention of players has passed very quickly, and one year later, they can be sold on other platforms, which is a little loss.

After talking like this, the two sides finally found a time acceptable to each other for three months.

These three months are enough to ensure the superiority of the MGC2 handheld. Some anxious **** players must choose to buy the handheld first to experience the game, and at the same time, they can also have a good publicity effect. After three months, Zhong Ming can take this game to other platforms to sell, and players who do not want to buy handhelds can also afford to wait.

In terms of specific costs: the price of the game is still 150, divided into fifty-five, for three months. Three-month sales, less than 200,000 units, exclusive cost of 2 million; 200,000 to 500,000 units, exclusive cost of 6 million; 500,000 to 1 million units, exclusive cost of 20 million; above 1 million, exclusive cost of 40 million .

Compared with permanent monopoly, the cost of time-limited monopoly must be significantly reduced, but because it is a time-limited monopoly for 3 months, and the negotiation status of the two parties has changed, overall, Zhong Ming's asking price has also increased.

Of course, for Moya Technology, this kind of betting agreement is far easier to accept than a price. Although Lin Xiaoguang is also personally convinced by the game of "Zodiac Guardian", but who can taste it after it is released? To be clear?

If one million sets are sold in three months, the revenue of Moya Technology on the game will be about 60 million. Because of the tax deduction, they will definitely invest some money to promote and promote the game.

Of these 60 million, we have to pay 40 million to pay the exclusive expenses.

Zhongming and Weiguang Studio, on the basis of earning 50% to 50%, took 40 million more.

In other words, the share of the two sides is almost rushing away, and Moya Technology takes 20%. It is shameful to be a host platform to do this.

However, Lin Xiaoguang is very clear. It is basically impossible to sell more than one million sets. Even if it is over, the technology of Moya is not lost.

Because game sales exceed one million, what about handheld sales? Definitely millions!

Sales here refer to the sales of handheld platforms, not the entire platform.

If it can really make the handheld sales exceed one million, Moya Technology is willing to spend money on its own, not to mention the "Zodiac Guardian" side does not have 20% income.

Therefore, the contract was roughly finalized and both parties were quite satisfied.

After that, Zhong Ming had to ask the company's legal affairs to come over the contract. If there was no problem, he could sign it.

After that, I will continue to develop the "Guardian of the Zodiac" and complete it on time.

...

In a blink of an eye, time entered May.

On the side of Micro Studio, although the development of "Guardian of the Zodiac" encountered some minor problems, it did not slow down the research and development progress too much, and it should be able to go online as scheduled.

After making the first 10% of the game, the following content is actually some repetitive labor. There are no technical difficulties to overcome, so the progress is smooth.

The test team has been carefully testing some details of this game, especially the combat system with various bosses. The tests all turned into **** players, and were tortured to death by huge bosses.

Of course, with the assistance of artificial intelligence systems, the originally heavy testing tasks can be completed by only a few people.

Everyone, including Lin Xiaoguang, is anxiously waiting for the release of "Zodiac Guardian".

On the other hand, Moya Technology ’s online reviews have basically been set.

The simple summary is: "The machine is good, but it doesn't make any sense."

Because in the eyes of many players, the positioning of this handheld is a bit awkward!

It is sandwiched between the two mainstream devices of the bracelet and the host, which are not pleasing at both ends.

The most important thing is that the current MGC2 handheld does not have any exclusive works that can really get it. This is the biggest flaw.

Although Moya Technology has repeatedly claimed that the performance of this handheld is strong and can reach at least 65% of the performance of mainstream consoles, but no game can be shown, it is equivalent to bragging about it in an empty mouth. Players are basically Do not believe.

As for the current games on the handheld, with the exception of "Dawn of Darkness", they are far from reaching the best performance of the handheld, and do not show much power; some of the bracelet games that have been transplanted are so large. You can play on the bracelet, let alone on the handheld. If you can't bring it, it is a joke.

"Dawn of Darkness" is just the opposite ~ www.readwn.com ~ Although it takes full advantage of the function of MGC2 handheld, the problem lies in its approach, which is to honestly show 65% of the host's performance to the players .

For example, if the host reads a note for 5 seconds, the MGC2 handheld must read the note for 10 seconds.

Every time you read the article for ten seconds, who can stand it!

Therefore, "Dawn of the Darkness" has more exposed the lack of performance of MGC2 relative to the console, affecting many players' first impressions of this handheld.

The reputation of the game is not very good, and sales are not up. If you want to talk to other major manufacturers about game porting, it will naturally be difficult.

Sorry, the MGC2 handheld is now sold, and other manufacturers are too lazy to transplant their games, because it feels that even if they are transplanted, they can't sell a few copies.

So things turned into an endless loop.

Moya Technology urgently needs a successful game to break this dead cycle. Otherwise, this handheld is really dead.
