In the same year, Satoshi Tajiri released his first game, Quinty.

Afterwards, he did not choose to join either camp all at once, but instead developed games for the two major game publishers at the time as a game producer.

The two major game publishers are Nintendo and Sega.

The game he made for Nintendo was called "JerryBoy", and the game he made for Sega MegaDrive was called "Pokemon".

To be honest, I don't have much impression of these two Aryas.

Because that thing is essentially an action game, and there are too many similar ones on the market.

Although the game itself is actually of good quality and has added gliding action, it still feels like Dragon Quest or something like that.

So why don't I just play Dragon Quest?

Moreover, Psychonauts - or Phantom Flame - is a comic adapted into an animation and a game, so there is no special room for Satoshi Tajiri to play.

Later, Satoshi Tajiri began to restart the previously unpopular capsule monster project, which is the well-known Pokémon.

The reason why it is not favored is very simple, because the original version of Capsule Monster actually looks more like an animal breeding and fighting game.

There is no evolution setting, the online system is immature, and these monsters can be sold in stores, and there is also a charm setting.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a hodgepodge of Tamagotchi and the like. Namco has been stuck on the project for four years and they really don't think highly of it.

During that period, GF was like the protagonist in a hot-blooded comic who persevered to the end for his dream.

Relying on their own roots, they continued to take orders to develop other games to subsidize the development of the Capsule Monsters project.

During this period, they merged various small companies to maintain the operation of the company. Nintendo's games such as "Yoshi's Egg" and "Mario & Wario" were all produced by them. The process was not smooth sailing. During this period, they also encountered many difficulties such as the loss of developers and financial crisis.

The good news is that I survived, the bad news is that I became a relative of Lao Ren...

Well, it’s not bad news. After all, GF is also doing it herself. We can only say that we are putting it on top and sending it to the bottom.

When the first generation of "Red/Green" was released, the response was not very good.

As the market prefers action games, role-playing games, to which Pokémon belongs, have been neglected.

Alia couldn't help but highlight this point - it's the same now, everyone likes action games, or at least RPG games.

Catch bugs? Upgrade battles? Online exchange? What is that?

However, unlike the difficulties encountered back then, at least Alia has not encountered a hardware crisis yet.

At that time, Nintendo's GameBoy was already at the end of its product life cycle.

However, the previous year, VirtualBoy, which was originally intended to be the successor to Nintendo GameBoy, made a serious mistake and was withdrawn from the market early, causing a serious crisis.

There is no successor machine - who would buy this? Is it true that you only earned XX in XX year?

Fortunately, this problem does not exist in this world. The GBA game console made by Alia is just a similar handheld game console with the same shell.

The actual hardware performance needs to be much stronger, otherwise it will not be enough to support subsequent game development. In addition to cost-effectiveness, performance should also be considered when picking up garbage.

Moreover, compared to the predicament of GAMEFREAK in another world, which has always been short of staff and backward in technology, this place is much better!

Due to a shortage of manpower, the graphics of "Red/Green" were very simple and the content of the game was not attractive to children at that time.

There are many game loopholes, and some of them are even malicious loopholes that can cause the game to crash.

Therefore, most game magazines at the time were not optimistic about the vitality of this game.

An early Famitsu review gave Red/Green a score of just 28/40, causing GAMEFREAK itself to be pessimistic about the sales forecast for Red/Green.

Well, maybe it’s not pessimism, but the reality is this - the two versions only sold 12 copies in the first week, and the sales in the second week also dropped sharply.

“But this shouldn’t be the case!” Alia shook the paper in her hand. “I’ve already changed my fate, so why are the sales still so damn poor?”

Less than three hundred thousand, is this reasonable?

Although in the previous Great Depression environment, sales of 300,000 were enough for Satoshi Tajiri and others to pop champagne at halftime.

But compared with the current booming business, the sales volume of 300,000 didn't even reach the passing line, which was a complete drag.

How come the three major studios produce idiots like you!

What? Xiaodao didn't participate in the competition, so he came in second? Well, that's fine...

Alia began to scratch her head. What was even more strange was that the market was not optimistic about this product, and game magazines were not optimistic about it either, but investors seemed very interested.

Currently, there are two parties interested in this, one is Sega and the other is Jiang Tianyi's Tianqiao Interactive Entertainment.

However, Sega is optimistic about the entire team of Satoshi Tajiri Co., Ltd.

The reason is simple. At the beginning, Alia was fishing like crazy. There was not a drop of water in the pond, and she caught many inconspicuous big fish.

The studio team formed by these talents will definitely become a dream team in ten or eight years.

But now, only the industry knows how powerful they are.

Moreover, they are not well-known and there is a possibility of being poached, which means they are not at the stage where they can achieve success in the future.

It’s hard not to be moved to see Sega come out of the quagmire—just like when Hiroshi Yamauchi saw Shigeru Miyamoto’s current achievements, he couldn’t help but feel regretful.

They knew they couldn't poach Shigeru Miyamoto's team, as the other party was a die-hard fan of Alia.

The framed recruitment letter by Shigeru Miyamoto is still hanging!

The king and his subjects get along well with each other. You can't dig it out with a shovel, even an adult excavator can't.

Besides, they are now a cash cow-level team and do not need new sponsors.

As a second choice, they set their sights on Satoshi Tajiri's studio.

Firstly, they are an independent company, GF Co., Ltd., and they can use some tricks to change their shell and escape.

On the other hand, their current reputation is average and they are in a low period, and Sega feels that they are providing timely help.

The last and most important point is that the third studio is like a dragon that is hard to find and cannot be found!

Alia thought about it and was immediately shocked - so this is your escape route, island!

However, in the industry, poaching is not an uncommon thing.

At that time, Nintendo's mainstay went to Namco.

Well, although he unfortunately passed away in a car accident soon after...

But at least this proves that Japan's gaming industry has a tradition of snatching talent.

Alia thought about it and thought there was a trap here.

That was the subsequent popularity of Pokemon - the most typical case of ups and downs.

I had thought about who to trick at the beginning, why did you just run into it, Sega?

"Someone come here!" Alia put down the documents and called for help.

A moment later, Izumo Chuanun-san appeared in front of Alia, his face full of loyalty and his eyes full of murderous intent.

Who is so blind as to want to block the young lady's path forward? !

"Ichiro."

"Hey - please give me your orders!"

"Think of a way to make a bet agreement with Sega. Please help me draft a more serious contract."

Gambling agreement?

When Kawagen Ichiro mentioned this word, he thought of the previous bet between the eldest lady and Old Ren.

Could it be that another prey has appeared?

"Sega is trying to recruit my people, right? Sure, a wise bird chooses a good tree to inhabit, but there has to be a starting price, right?"

"Miss, with all due respect, Tajiri-kun has no intention of changing jobs."

"But I need him to show this intention. More importantly, I need Sega to come to the table and think of a solution. Yumiko, you should think of it too."

Think about how to fucking kill Sega!

After An and Yumiko asked, they found out how Alia was going to be the banker in this gambling game.

What she meant was that she thought the Pokémon game series would soon become a huge hit, just like Tamagotchi did before.

All it takes for a game to go from being inconspicuous to becoming an explosive phenomenon is an opportunity.

But the problem is that the industry generally does not look favorably upon this game. Why does Miss think it will become a huge hit?

Besides, the sales performance in the past two weeks has already demonstrated the market’s choice.

You have to know that this is only after taking into account the previous bundled sales of machines and the 300,000 sales after choosing one of the eight cartridges.

Among the eight games, even the text options in Ace Attorney are higher than those in Pokemon.

"If I have to explain why, it's because I come from the future and have witnessed the success of this game!"

"..." An and Yumiko blinked, thinking that maybe the eldest lady really preferred this type of game and she liked it.

And the eldest daughter is the eldest daughter. She doesn't need a reason to do things because she is the biggest in the group.

As a company that was wholly acquired by her, Anhe Yumiko did not retain many shares in Bandai Namco.

At least these shares are not enough to support her against Alia, but Alia does not interfere in the daily operations of the company.

If Alia really makes trouble, An and Yumiko won't be able to handle it.

So when the eldest daughter is willful, all they can do is try their best to turn this willfulness into victory.

"Please give me some time. I will find a way to make Sega agree to this bet."

After all, it seems that Sega has a great chance of winning...

"There's one more thing." Alia took a list and handed it to An and Yumiko.

"Recruit some industry personnel. I need them to develop a game engine."

"Game-engine?"

"Yes, the game engine. The three major studios gave me suggestions before. Every time during the development process, I need to start from scratch and repeat a lot of work."

Currently, video games are custom developed based on the manufacturer's specific model.

Although the concept of game engine has not yet been formed, developers have gradually realized the problem of "a lot of repetitive work".

So they intend to build more convenient tools for developing game works.

Historically, it was a company called IdSoftware that started the technological revolution in the gaming industry.

Wolfenstein 3D, developed by Id, is released and becomes the first game to bring first-person shooter games to the masses.

At that time, they used a ray tracing technology to render objects in the game and create unprecedented 3D effects.

Even though it's pseudo-3D, it's still D, right?

Subsequently, their DOOM engine series was born, and "Doom" was developed based on this engine.

If Arya can't find a John Carmack who can change the history of games, then she might as well just spend money on the team.

There are actually things similar to game engines on the market now, but the reason why they are similar is that they have not yet formed the system that Alia has in mind.

It’s interesting to say that many things can change beyond recognition if you take a slight turn.

In this world, there are Lao Huang, agricultural enterprises, PCs and graphics cards, but there are no dedicated gaming graphics cards.

Currently, all the products released by Huang are computing cards with professional graphics solutions, or embedded graphics processing units.

If you think about it, you can't blame Huang. The main reason is that there is no need for the market to launch a graphics card specifically for gaming.

It was not until last year that the emergence of the online game "Lineage" forced a large number of users to start upgrading their hardware.

And starting this year, Alia has given a boost to the half-dead console game market, and new consoles have begun to be developed.

Before that, Huang had already developed Tesla P100. Who would believe this?

You have to know the specifications of this thing. If you calculate it based on 150 billion transistors, it is equivalent to the level of a four-way Titan.

It's so deformed, so deformed. Every time Alia looks at history, she feels the power of distorting reality.

But perhaps people here would also find it strange when they see the history of the Earth.

Can the consumer-level DIY market and gamers push the development of gaming graphics cards to this level?

What is a voodoo card? What is a 680 nuclear bomb? Why is this thing so profitable?

"I want to see that in three years, the gaming platform will be available worldwide, and the platform must have the simplest, most user-friendly and most affordable game development tools so that everyone can make games! Oh, and everyone must have time to play games - next year or the year after next at the latest, I plan to implement a four-day work week in the group, but the salary will not be reduced. In this way, I can use games to consume their extra time and cheat all their wages back - hahaha! I am so evil!"
