Chapter 1437 The industry that will be shocked every day(1/2)
What is a web game for those in the early 21st century?
In a major oriental country, for many people who are still using 56k cat dialing to access the Internet, web games are basically simple text games, including the so-called "killing games" or "chat room" games. Because there is only 2 to 10kb dialing network, it is really powerless to have rich web content.
For the people in Lighthouse Country, web games mean casual games on the Internet, including Gem Maze web version, Zuma web version, or small games like Texas Hold'em. Especially the recent prevalence of flash has made similar games popular.
As for this world line, web games in the early 21st century represent a change.
With the launch, it marks that web games can not only be made into small games, but also can make large-scale games.
This window paper is actually broken with a poke, but few people can think of this immediately.
Senxia has the right time, place, and people, so it is strange that she is not successful.
In the first month of its launch, this game became the most popular game in the entire circle.
The reason is that the players in this game are very crazy, and it also makes many game manufacturers realize that there are so many people among the players...
Let's give a simple example.
This game is beneficial to players with heavy krypton.
If players can reach 100 orders of krypton money, they can apply for a special service: that is, to make their characters into figures, that is, to customize figures.
After obtaining the qualification, the player can make his character into a figure as long as he pays another fee. Even if the player is not satisfied with the official coloring, he can directly get the gk from here, and then use the semi-finished white ink to polish, assemble and color it yourself.
According to the information, so far, AS has received more than 100 services.
In other words, in this game, there are more than 100 players with krypton gold over 880,000 yen.
Moreover, some of the players are qualified enough, but they do not apply because they are only in the early stages of the game, and many people have not "achieved" characters, and many people are actually not very satisfied with their roles.
Of course, it is actually quite fatal to customize figures one by one, but there is nothing we can do about the rich people who are willing to do so.
If someone is willing to pay, what else can you say?
Senxia originally had a good gaming experience for the money-spending krypton gold bosses, but he himself did not expect that so many people would appear.
Sen Xia also has a profound understanding of how huge the appeal of "Teacher Xia Sen" and the golden signboard of A-Society have.
Now he just regrets that he can't do 3D printing, otherwise if he can print all these characters one by one, this is the most interesting thing!
Blizzard will do this kind of operation in the future, and they will directly ask players to print out the characters in 3D. And the price is cheap, just 999 soft girl coins, well, compared to each figure, it is indeed quite cheap.
Senxia is referring to the other party's approach, but there is no 3D printing in this world line, so he thought of a way to simply customize the figures.
However, Senxia was originally just a big shot, but she didn't expect that the rich people were so rich, so she did it casually. If she could continue to do it in the future, it would be the best.
Of course, this is just one of the small episodes.
Because everyone is more concerned about the money-making ability of the game itself.
At this moment, the Order of Phoenix and Sega's Ice Friendship Akiichiro held a press conference.
this……
I can't understand this operation!
Sega, have you just worked with Nintendo before? Why have you turned around and found the Order of the Phoenix before?
Didn’t you agree that you won’t love again?
As another party involved, Hiroshi Yamauchi and Satoshi Iwada, naturally, would not ignore this news.
"I am now in a state of turmoil, Sega is unstable and schizophrenia is normal."
Sitting in front of the TV, the two were watching the live broadcast.
Unlike outside speculation, Nintendo is as stable as Mount Tai for this news.
Because they took Sonic's rights in this matter for nothing, helped Nintendo promote it, and also received technical cooperation from Sega, so of course they smiled happily.
On the contrary, the news that "Nintendo looks down on the web games on the market and is preparing to make web games by itself" in the past two days has made them more passive.
Nintendo came out to refute the rumors at that time, but immediately the "Uncle Party" broke the news that Nintendo saw that he was so popular, so he really planned to follow the trend and make one.
Of course, Nintendo refuted the news. This kind of news is a guess, but one thing is very subtle is that Nintendo's senior management has indeed instructed to study this kind of web game.
Although I didn't consider making money by relying on this method, I definitely need to understand it, but the tricks in it are really complicated.
On the TV, the one who appeared was Sega's president who was about to be unable to hold on to the situation.
At this moment, the other party announced a news that it was preparing to open up the channels of the mud-burning arcade hall and realize the online confrontation between arcade halls.
"Arcade Hall Online?"
After hearing the news, Iwada Satoshi couldn't help but make a sound.
Simply put, when players play games in the arcade hall, they will provide a remote networking mode. Under this mode, players can fight against players from other places, and the battle screen can even be broadcasted to the arcade hall. Using this platform, the arcade hall can even establish its own competition.
This action has no big future, but it can indeed attract people's attention. Because Nihong is also an arcade power.
After this news, it was also announced that it would cooperate with the world to develop an arcade version.
Not only that, a new round of animation plans was announced later, and an episode of Ova will be produced in a joint manner.
"It's so fast. After just so shortly after I went online, I actually started to cooperate. Tianhai Senxia has really strong courage."
Satoshi Iwada exclaimed.
What Sen Xia does, let alone Nintendo, can’t learn any other game company.
As soon as the game was launched, various subsequent activities were immediately launched.
Arcade games are obviously to stabilize Sega. As for the linkage of OVA, it should be a test of the waters, and maybe the TV will be released directly at that time.
"I always feel that things are not that simple." However, Hiro Yamauchi frowned at this time.
He always feels a little biased.
The other party’s purpose is really that simple?
No, it doesn't seem to be like.
Web games are not something special.
Yes.
Hiroshi Yamauchi believes that web games are just a "skirt" and the type that is difficult to reach the elegance.
No matter how popular the game is, it cannot surpass Nintendo in terms of reputation or gameplay.
Someone who had criticized the words "The freedom of this game is completely reflected in the text" before, but in fact... this is really true.
Because in order to allow players to play games smoothly, many of the contents are reflected in text or static images and special effects.
Even in order to consider the pressure of players running, they did not even join 2dlive. This is to prevent players from getting stuck due to insufficient browser performance.
Although it is a web game, the official is now considering whether it can launch more advanced client versions to realize cross-platform works, and the client version can also have better display effects.
But these... are not the key!
There must be some key content hidden behind this.
It is...what?
“Um…”
At this moment, Moriya also appeared in the picture.
When he saw Mori Naka, Yuki Yamauchi suddenly thought of something.
Although they are all several companies, whether it is the Order of Phoenix, Musashino, or A-Social, they actually belong to Morika.
In this case, if it is a listed company, even if several companies belong to one person, the situation will be more troublesome. But the problem is that these companies are not listed companies, but completely belong to Moriya.
This means that the other party has absolute voice among these companies, and the company does not need to be responsible for profits.
In other words, no matter how Moriya wants to play... there is no problem!
I'm afraid that in the near future, people will set up a group directly.
"We want to regard the companies of the Tenkai family as a whole," said Yamauchi Hiroshi. "When analyzing the strategy, you should look at it like this. Do you know the information on Musashino?"
"Hi." Iwada Satoshi immediately replied, "There has been a round of expansion there recently, recruiting many senior industry personnel, and has a deep cooperative relationship with a major Eastern country."
In fact, Satoshi Iwata didn't know much about this.
But Musashino found Nintendo before and wanted to ask if he could adapt the comic story of the Pokemon Special.
Unlike the animation version, the comic story of the special chapter is actually closer to the game's world view. To a certain extent, the special chapter's story is even more realistic.
Nintendo rejected the other party's proposal at that time because Pokemon animation was originally intended to face young audiences. At this time, a relatively "black and deep" comic adaptation suddenly appeared, which would definitely trouble the audience.
Perhaps other companies will definitely agree happily, but Nintendo rejected the other party's proposal based on its own strategic arrangements. However, for this reason, Iwada Satoshi also learned a little about Musashino's situation and found that they are now one of the top big players in the industry. Nowadays, animation companies are becoming "animation factories". Musashino Animation is one of the few companies that are confident to pay for animation by themselves.
"Web games are just a test. I think they didn't expect the popularity of this game. But after that, it's probably the highlight." Yamauchi Hiroshi pondered, "The Internet can really make money..."
Nintendo also started the Internet back then, but Hiroshi Yamauchi was scared of being cheated. That would be a loss of tens of billions or tens of billions of yen!
However, when the Internet was in the hands of Sen Xia, it turned out to be a popular item for making money.
Can't figure it out, can't figure it out.
Is it that I don’t understand, or is the world changing too fast?
To be continued...
