Chapter 773： switch

  772

"Wife, I want to buy a mobile phone."

"Mobile phone? Don't you already have one?"

"Uh uh, this... This is not the same as the previous one. You can play the latest Mario game on this phone."

"Oh, I see, I've seen this ad, you can buy it. Husband, you usually work so hard, but if you just buy a mobile phone, you'll be fine."

"Wife, you are really gentle and considerate!"

At the dinner table, the husband was overwhelmed with emotion, and the child Wentai by the side was beaming.

"Dad, when you buy a new mobile phone, does it mean that your handheld can be eliminated from me?"

"Smelly brat, there are all kinds of video game archives I treasured on it. Even if I buy you a new one, I can't give you the old one."

"Well, the new one isn't bad either..."

"Give me a good study, and then consider whether to buy it for you or not."

Wentai looked depressed, but he soon became happy again.

Dad bought a new game console, so is he afraid that he won't be able to play it?

That night, my husband couldn't wait to buy the latest face phone on the Internet, and also bought a few bundled video games.

Unlike the handheld, all the games on the mobile phone have only digital versions, but the price and volume are indeed cheap enough.

And old games such as fc and sfc are not just ported, these games are also deeply adapted according to the touch screen.

There is a team of 200 people working on this at Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Because it is a digital version, even games in the fc era can be updated as soon as possible.

Good adaptation, the game has sufficient capacity, and players are also willing to pay this money to buy some nostalgic games, forming a virtuous circle.

On Mickford's side, the progress of game development was somewhat slow, and there were many obstacles and difficulties encountered.

First of all, the problem of game development engine. Myron Case is experienced in the field of electronic products and has a vision, but it does not mean that he has any knowledge of video games.

He only knows that there are a lot of high-quality games on handhelds that are also mobile devices.

And Myron Keith opened his mouth to the recruited team to develop a game that is not inferior to at least the quality of the game on the Suri electronic handheld.

But here comes the first problem, which is the engine.

Creating an engine from scratch is very complicated. It can’t be done overnight, and the only good engine on the market is Yuxing Electronic Entertainment’s.

As a competitor, Myron Keith just planned to develop a game with great fanfare, and he had to pay Yuxing Electronic Entertainment a sum of money first, which really made him uncomfortable.

And as a competitor, and a company of the size of Mickford, if you want to license Unreal Engine, you now need to pay tens of millions of dollars a year and a 10% commission on sales.

Myron Keith finally decided to have his own people develop the engine.

But that's the second question.

The development team he set up is only more than 200 people, and some of them have to scatter their energy to develop new engines. Of course, it is not a big problem to develop an engine with relatively simple functions.

…

But if you want to make a game quality that is not inferior to professional handheld consoles, this is not something that can be done in a short time.

But Myron Keyes didn't want to study these, he gave the team a death order, don't worry about the salary, the price you need to pay is your hair and liver...

So the game development team under Mickford could only develop games and engines with pain and joy.

Seeing the news that Myron Keys was in a hurry to develop the game, Take Yusei's smile never faded.

It seems that this man who has been on a rampage in the electronics industry doesn't particularly understand the difficulty of game development.

And the other party seems to be brought into a misunderstanding by himself, that is, he wants high-quality games, not ordinary small games, at least for a year, Myron Keith should continue to walk on this detour. It's your chance.

Leaving aside the discussion of non-gamer users, at least if video game players want to buy a mobile phone, they must strive to make the face mobile phone the first thing they think of.

Hold the position of core players first, and then win the favor of other users.

But now it seems that it has not been completely successful in maintaining the basic market of core players, and the sales of mobile phones are still not as good as that of Myron Cases, but for a face that has just entered the mobile phone industry, it is a huge event. It worked.

At least face can gain a foothold under Mickford's strong dominance, which is something to celebrate.

Next, the works of the mobile game development team can also enter the field of smartphones like bombing. They have already given them the direction and standards of development. The rest is to silently accumulate strength and prepare enough for the subsequent Wang Zhuang works. Just be ready.

As for now, Zhu Yuxing already has a new plan, which is a new handheld.

However, this handheld will also be distinguished from the handheld in the previous traditional concept. It should be called a collection of handheld and mainframe, which is the switch form of the original world. This is what he wanted to do a long time ago. Now The technical strength of the game has matured, and the player base has reached a certain level. Uniting handheld players and console players is what Zhuyouxing wants to do now.

But this is still in the early stage of development, and a series of ideas are not perfect.

"Bamboo You, according to your idea, we have finished the design of the console that you call switch."

Hayasawa Airi in a white engineer costume came to the floor where the fifth game development team was with the latest draft.

Now Take Yusei is keeping an eye on the development of Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core, which is the most important work at this stage.

Zhu Yuxing turned his head and glanced at the design draft, and a sense of familiarity came over him.

The detachable handle design can be connected to the base of the display device, as well as the game console body with a small cooling fan.

This is a big chunk for all the previous game consoles, but it is very small for a game home console, which is in between.

It turned out that the world's switch was still far from the final product at the beginning of its design. Its release date was 2017, but the earliest design time probably started after the wiiu was released. At that time, the switch was only a simple handheld mode. It is the inheritance of 3ds. Later, due to various reasons and improvements, it gradually became the final switch product.

Bamboo Youxing skipped this step directly, and came up directly to the final version of the switch, which would save a lot of time.
