Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

When the topic of switch is gradually fermenting in the outside world.

Chen Xu's"Super Mario: Odyssey", which is the first release escort masterpiece, has almost entered the final stage of development.

The subsequent development work of the game has basically been completed.

At the same time, Zhangjiaping also spread the supply of goods with offline manufacturers.

《Super Mario: Odyssey" has also been shipped on cassette.

Basically, the preparations for the release of the switch have been completed.

During this period, Chen Xu also successively produced some small games.

These small"460" games are mainly derived from some classic FC games and arcade games in previous lives.

For the switch, Chen Xu optimized some graphics and put them into it.

It can be regarded as optimizing a game library on the switch.

These games were very classic in their previous lives.

But it is undeniable that these gameplay methods, even if placed in a parallel world, will hardly produce any amazing effects.

However, although it is difficult to produce stunning effects, after the reset, the level design and playability of these games are also at a very good level.

The first generation Mario on the FC platform, as well as the FC versions of Contra and Tank Battle, as well as Metal Gear Solid, Thunderbolt, Ikaruga, Snowman Brothers, Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West on the arcade platform.

These previous lives are quite classic and are also suitable for switch games.

Chen Xu also made some and put them on the switch console.

These games are very simple in terms of production difficulty.

It’s almost at the level of larger independent games.

For the current Chen Xu, it is very simple.

The resources and energy invested won’t take much.

As for these games, Chen Xu is not prepared to sell them individually.

The corresponding switch membership service will be launched later, in addition to supporting a series of functions such as online content of switch, cloud archiving and so on.

These games will be added to a membership library.

If you are a member, you can play games in these membership libraries for free.

Of course the membership fee is not too expensive.

9.9 yuan a month, and the annual fee is discounted to 100 yuan

………………

In such a situation.

Chen Xu’s official blog instantly raised the topic of switch to a high level.

Because Chen Xu is going to hold a product launch conference for the switch.

More content will be announced at that time, as well as a time for the switch line.

On the day of the press conference, it was in a five-star hotel in the Imperial Capital.

All media in the industry came as scheduled, including online live broadcast platforms, and there were also corresponding online broadcasts.

Not only players, but also major game manufacturers in the game industry are also very concerned.

They also wanted to see what Chen Xu's Fengyun Games could do with the handheld console.

At the press conference. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Accompanied by applause, Chen Xu walked up to the stage, and at the same time, a switch screen appeared on the big screen behind him.

Compared with the switch color prototype that was previously revealed on the Internet.

Nowadays, a switch has better appearance and better performance.

Red and blue handle, black body...

At the same time, the parameters of thickness and length are also marked on the screen.[]

Holding the switch in his hand, Chen Xu gave a brief introduction to some parameters.

For these things, a video that was circulated on the Internet basically gave players a preview.

So there weren’t too many surprises at this time, I just learned more about the parameters.

But what really surprises players is the switch configuration.

It doesn't seem to be very high.

When comparing VR to high-end PCs, it goes without saying.

But compared to some handheld consoles currently on the market, the price of the switch seems to be on the low side.

"Yes, I believe everyone has also felt that the configuration of the switch is not as high as imagined."

"Why is this? Technical reasons? of course not!"

"As a handheld device, what is the most important thing about it? Portable!"

"We can stack materials and make it as good as a PC with outstanding performance, but with such stacking of materials, what is the difference between its volume and weight of 2.2 and that of a PC?"

"Therefore, we made some trade-offs, and of course we also made some trade-offs on price. 1,799 yuan is the official price of the switch. Yes, you heard it right!"

Chen Xu said very seriously.

After hearing Chen Xu's words, the media reporters on the scene, including the concerned industry and players who had some understanding of hardware, suddenly fell into an uproar. Did they really hear it right!?

Didn't they read 2799 Yuan, did you hear it was 1,799 yuan?

Everyone was confused.
