Liang Tuhao, who didn't know that he had been remade, was frowning and playing with a black pet egg in his hand.
Although he felt that the temperature of the game controller made of eggshells in his hand had exceeded the warm touch, Liang Yuan still did not give up and chose to continue the game.
The core thinking of Pokemon battle is the future moba mode. In other words, routine is king. Use equipment and moves to match certain routines, and then start automatic battle. Experience high-quality confrontation in advance when current electronic technology cannot support real-time battle. It's cool.
In order to increase the level of player involvement and the playability of the system, the rules of 3D arena battles have been slightly changed. Each character's equipment and moves can be pre-saved in three sets before the battle.
Although it is still a fully automatic battle, the health bar of each pet has been changed from one tube to three tubes. When the first two tubes of blood bars are emptied, the cleared player will get a short global pause, so that he can re-select moves and routines. Opportunities with equipment.
After this small change was added to the battle system, the game battles took on the color of card games such as Hearthstone, which directly enriched the game's routines and greatly extended the life of the game.
However, by doing this, Liang Yuan has overdrawn the essence of the game model in the next twenty years in advance. In the future, apart from changing to real-time strategy, Liang Yuan will not be able to come up with a disruptive game framework. Future version improvements can only be brought about by chip advancements. The coming image progress and the continuous improvement and repair in the direction of details.
For the global game industry, the Pokemon created by Liang Yuan is probably going to become the mother of most game modes. As for the impact on the global game industry, Liang Yuan can¡¯t say clearly.
It is definitely a good thing in the short term. The sudden emergence of Pokemon, a game model integrating RPG, moba, card and many other mature systems, will definitely have a great promotion effect on the current naive global game industry.
In the long run, maybe the global game industry will take this opportunity to continue to explode, ushering in a prosperous era that far exceeds Liang Yuan's original plane. It may also stall after a short-term outbreak and remain stagnant in the circle drawn by Pokemon.
But whether it is complacency or continued prosperity, it is nothing compared to the blueprint in Liang Yuan's heart.
After a while, until the large amount of sweat in his palms began to seriously affect the touch of the operation, Liang Yuan suddenly blew on his palms and threw the handle on the table.
During the initial 2D version of the Tamagotchi, including long-term testing, the heating problem of the device was not serious, so no one took this aspect seriously.
Before Liang Yuan went to the Youth Science Competition, he asked Jiang Jingfeng to concentrate on in-depth development and strive to make the images of the pet egg arena battle into 3D. Jiang Jingfeng lived up to expectations and with the support of a large number of software and hardware engineers, it only took half a month to solve the problem.
Since Liang Yuan requested that the product be launched in September and the first test was very successful, the new version of the pet egg started mass production while undergoing the second test.
Everyone has underestimated the problem of a significant increase in power consumption caused by the 3D computing of the device. Other aspects of the new version of the pet egg are still fine. The 3D arena competition has brought a shocking picture to this era, which has directly led to The problem of insufficient heat dissipation in equipment design has become increasingly prominent.
Wang Xin, who came over to watch the excitement, promptly handed Liang Yuan a towel soaked in cold water. Liang Yuan quickly wrapped the towel around his hand. An extremely comfortable cold touch came from his hand, and Liang Yuan exhaled heavily. One breath.
¡°That¡¯s just the average hardcore gamer.¡±
Liang Yuan made a definition based on his rich gaming experience in his previous life.
"You are so awesome, you kept playing for three hours~"
Jiang Jingfeng came over and flattered him.
"Who am I? I don't have any auxiliary gaming equipment. I can only rely on the skin to dissipate heat. There must be super hardcore players who can play for a day or more."
In order to cool down the game console, Liang Yuan has seen a lot of weird things. Those who play against fans and air conditioners are ordinary irons, which can be cured without electrotherapy. Real super irons are played in large cold storages. It's the kind that doesn't work well with high-voltage electricity.
Feeling that the temperature on his hands had dropped a lot, Liang Yuan picked up the handle of the pet egg and felt it. It was so hot, even hotter than the famous Qualcomm hand warmers in the future.
Three hours is a good time for deep addiction. The device is too hot to play the game, which still affects the experience. It is normal for the game console to overheat, but it has to last for six hours anyway. The machine loses the fan. The pre-cooling time is just enough for players to move around, eat, go to the toilet and then come back to fight again.
¡°Can I add a fan to the space in the machine?¡±
Liang Yuan asked.
??"The big ones won't fit in, and the small ones won't help."
"How long can a small one increase the gaming time?"
"It takes about thirty or forty minutes. We have not tested it in detail. The main reason is that adding a fan will increase the cost, and the design of the power supply circuit board will also need to be changed if there is an additional fan."
¡°Now, the size of the pet egg is just right, no matter how big it is, it won¡¯t be cute anymore.¡±
Liang Yuan said a new term that Jiang Jingfeng didn't understand.
"Don't think about the cost, think about the fan cooling. I would rather redesign the circuit board and push the game time to six hours. Don't rely on the progress of process technology. We have forcibly opened the 3D era of the game and will compete in the performance of future consoles." The competition is no less cruel than the competition in process technology. As the chip process advances, our game versions and device versions will also be updated accordingly. In the end, we still need to use fans to cool down."
¡°If it really can¡¯t be installed in the device, then break down the hardware functions and add additional 3D battles¡±
Liang Yuan made a decision in a slow tone.
"Master, what should we do with the more than 100,000 pet eggs we have produced so far?"
Jiang Jingfeng asked.
"It has been produced. Is there any room for improvement?"
¡°There¡¯s not much room.¡±
"The production of the current version of the pet eggs will be suspended for now. After the produced pet eggs and other modified new products are rolled off the production line, they can be used for activities in the name of giving away engineering machines."
"Well, it is quite difficult for Shangri-La Electric to break into the Japanese market. At that time, we can promote the purchase of bladeless electric fans or air purifiers and give away pet eggs, or vice versa. The marketing department will take care of it~"
Jiang Jingfeng nodded frequently as he listened.
"Master, what about the listing in September?"
Wang Xin also asked.
¡°Let¡¯s put the listing on hold for now, we¡¯ll catch up with the Christmas schedule.¡±
"This time, the bull I had been bragging about finally went bankrupt. I even guaranteed at the big meeting that it would sell for at least 200 million US dollars this year."
Liang Yuan laughed and laughed at himself.
¡°How can this be considered a failure, Young Master? It¡¯s clearly Jiang Jingfeng¡¯s design that was unreasonable.¡±
Wang Xin excused Liang Yuan with a serious expression.
¡°If I don¡¯t sell the eggs this year, I will have a heavy task next year. In order to avoid bankruptcy, I decided to sell the pet eggs at a higher price. Humanity¡¯s first 3D game must be sold at a worthy price.¡±
"How high do you plan to raise your salary?"
¡°That¡¯s $299.¡±
"Isn't it a bit expensive~"
Everyone here will not understand the shock that 3D entertainment brings to people. Sony's PS game function has suddenly emerged, simply killing Sega and Nintendo and directly being promoted to the industry giant. In addition to endless excellent game support, the PS game console This is also an important reason why 3D performance beats all console platforms of the era.
The sale price of Sony¡¯s first PS was US$299. Even if the launch was delayed, Tamagotchi was able to lead gamers around the world into a new visual era four years in advance.
The transition from an 8-bit host to a 32-bit host is as shocking as the personal mobile terminal's transition from the pager era to the feature phone era directly to the first-generation Apple mobile phone.
The impact on the hardware has been so huge, and combined with the Pok¨¦mon and Pesticide competition that has been proven by history, the impact on the software has also exploded.
Even at US$99, overseas groups who should not be able to afford it still cannot afford it. After the price is raised to US$299, selling one is equivalent to selling five before the price increase. Annual sales only need to sell 5 million to reach the original 1.2 billion. Expected sales in U.S. dollars.
In the 1990s, the middle class in developed countries around the world must have exceeded 100 million families. Even if the penetration rate of pet eggs reached 30%, it would bring at least 30 million sales. This is a business that may reach far and wide within three or two years. Jia brought in nearly 10 billion US dollars in cash flow.
After Jiang Jingfeng completed 3D, Liang Yuan postponed the launch date of the pet egg. In addition to considering the brand reputation, the 5-micron production line in the Republic that can be mass-produced is also a major factor.
The production line of the 5 micron process is seriously behind the times. The only way to recover the cost is to follow the path of one wave, seize a lucrative market segment, and savagely use huge production capacity to directly submerge all players in this market segment. Appetite, leaving no time and market space for other manufacturers to catch up.
Liang Yuan plans to expand the production capacity of 5.0 micron production lines and invest 6 billion yuan in nearly 30 lines. If other auxiliary expenses such as clean plants, water supply and distribution, and personnel training are included, the cost will be close to 10 billion yuan, even if the yuan is no longer The value of the money converted into U.S. dollars is 1.23 billion. How do you get back the cost of these more than one billion U.S. dollars?How to maintain the production line in the future is a big problem for Liang Yuan.
Bragging felt good at the time, but later it was enough to cause trouble even if it was his own, so the price increase and postponement became a natural choice for Liang Yuan.
Jiang Jingfeng naturally didn't know that even if there was nothing wrong with the pet eggs, with the outbreak of procurement of 5.0 micron production lines, Liang Yuan had been considering whether to delay the launch of the pet eggs. If the supply was insufficient in the first wave, the price would rise to the Zenith Star. Going forward, the strength of major overseas manufacturers is enough to come up with similar products in one quarter to compete for the market.
"Sister Wang Xin, has the decision of the big meeting to build at least 25 5.0 micron production lines been communicated to the people below?"
¡°It reached the orange level last month.¡± Wang Xin nodded.
"Jiang Jingfeng won't get orange yet, but it won't matter. It doesn't matter if you listen to it in advance. To be honest with you, pet eggs are one of the biggest reasons for me to start the production line to increase production capacity. Even if nothing happens, the pet eggs will be postponed until the domestic production line expands. I am also considering mass production, and Jiang Jingfeng happened to have done a good job, not only completing the 3Dization of sports but also discovering a major hardware problem, which directly helped me make a choice."
"Young Master, when you say this, wouldn't it be incredible to have more than 20 wafer production lines for one game?"
Jiang Jingfeng opened his mouth, obviously frightened by Liang Yuan's idea.
Jiang Jingfeng has always had a big brain, and his perspective on problems is particularly unique. When this guy described him like this, Liang Yuan felt that his story of exploding production capacity was completely nonsense.
Seeing Wang Xin also open his mouth with disbelief on his face, Liang Yuan knew that Jiang Jingfeng's words had brought Wang Xin's thinking into the ditch.
It's better to have a little daughter-in-law whom she cultivated. No matter how unbelievable the news is, as long as it is her own decision, Ning Wanjia always thinks it is logical and doesn't care if it is shocking or not. Seeing Wang Xin's expression, Liang Yuan's mind suddenly popped up uncontrollably. Got this idea.
Feelings are feelings, and what needs to be explained needs to be explained. Liang Yuan had to add: "The pet egg can only be regarded as extra money for the production capacity of the new production line, and there is another product that is the main business of the Jingyuan production line. , but the technology is not available yet and you have to wait. I estimate that research and development will be started next year.¡±
