Chapter 778 On sale!
This is also why Jester dared to make such a big change to "Monster Hunter". New Dagger... Lu...
In fact, this is an action game with a very special type, and with very digging and collectable elements, if you understand these two points, it is not difficult to make such a game.
The difficulty lies in how to make a hand-show that makes people amazing action games.
Jester remembers that before he traveled through time, there was a game in China called "The Legend of Demons in the Sky". It was very popular at that time, and it happened that domestic games were somewhat revived. Although "The Legend of the Knights" that had just been released was a reset work, it sold hundreds of thousands of copies with its feelings and conscience.
At that time, this "The Legend of Demons from the Sky" was known as the Devil May Cry. I just saw the video demonstration released and thought it was pretty good.
However, this production team may have a little too ambitious. Before the release, it made many people look forward to this game, but it turned into wait-and-see, and even hatred and disgust. Especially for the whole process, the official explanation is anti-pirated version, but to be honest, domestic cracking stations generally do not crack domestic games. Although there are factors that protect domestic games, more of them are still because they cracked in China and wanted to be accused, and the cracking stations do not want to cause trouble.
This game has been played by Jester.
The conclusion is that the heart is very big, but the ability is not as big as the heart.
There are only two evaluations of the action game type: excellent and extremely poor. The quality of this type of game depends on the combat feel. If you can do it well, it is a magical work. If you can't do it well, no matter how good you do it in other places, it is still rubbish.
"The Legend of Demons from Heaven" is obviously not a game that can make the hand-feeling of Hideki Kamiya and Itagaki Bashinobu.
As for the home game of Ship Girl, Jester has some ideas. The construction of the lottery nature and fishing are generally the same as before. Such randomness can greatly improve the playability of the game. This is the greatest contribution of Blizzard to the game. Before Diablo, no one expected that the randomness of the original would actually expand the maximum playability.
So, when Jester saw some people Blizzard not having any first in the gaming industry, they only knew how to copy other people’s creativity, they laughed it off.
However, it is somewhat different from the original ship girl or the later domestic copycat mobile game Battleship Girl.
Jester decided to start this kind of sissy since the time of the Sailing Warship.
Many sailing warships actually have a great reputation, and they also like them a lot.
For example, in the famous Victory, in Trafalgar, in that naval battle, Sir Horazio Nelson, the spirit of the Royal Navy, used this warship as a ship, and successfully seized the upper hand when the warship, tonnage and number of artillery were at a disadvantage, and he was the first to send a t-head. Thus defeating the French coalition in one fell swoop, defeating Napoleon's arrogance, laying the foundation for the complete defeat of Napoleon, and also opening up a hegemony era of world-stay empire for a hundred and fifty years.
Yes, Nelson and his ships themselves are symbols of British maritime power.
Even until the time when Jester traveled, this Nelson's ship was still retained in Pthmouth, the military port of the Royal Navy, for tourists to admire its past style.
Therefore, when the British in later generations selected the person who made the greatest contribution to Britain in their minds, Horazio Nelson ranked first, and the second one was the greatest scientist, Sir Isaac Newton, who was called "Nature and the Law of Nature Hidden in Darkness, God, let Newton go, so there was a light in the world's world', since the birth of the earth.
There are naturally many stories about Nelson and Trafalgar. In addition to the story of Nelson being unfortunately killed by stray bullets in this battle, the British put his body in a rum barrel in order to transport his body back to China. What is even more famous is his most famous quote that he sent through the signal flag before the war between Trafalgar.
"England hopes that every man will fulfill his duties!"
At that time in Trafalgar, before the Royal Navy fought with the French coalition, General Nelson had issued all necessary instructions on his flagship to the ships he was commanding.
However, he knew that the war was a decisive battle and that more things should be done, so he ordered his communications officer, Captain Pasco, to send a signal that "England believes that every man fulfills his responsibilities" as soon as possible.
Pasco suggested to Nelson that the word "epets" was used instead of "believe", because the former can be found in the flag language manual, while the word trust needs to be spelled letter by letter. Nelson agreed with this change, although hopefulness showed insufficient trust, so at 11:45 am on October 21, 1805, the Victory sent the most famous naval signal in British history and perhaps the entire world naval warfare history.
This signal uses the digital code designed by Sir Poppam.
This code will match ten signal flags with 0 to 9. The digital codes represented by these flags are combined according to the flag language manual and sent to all Royal Navy ships. These digital codes will be raised on the back mast, one after another, and the "telegraph-lag" will also be raised to show that this is the signal designed by Poppam.
The word duty is not included in the flag language manual, so it needs to be spelled out, so the entire signal requires twelve lits.
It is believed that the action takes four minutes. A team led by Pasco, with about four to six, was ready to raise those signal flags on Nelson's flagship Victory.
Before a British cannon fired the enemy, Nelson sent his last signal, "get the enemy closer." This signal is represented by signal flags 1 and 6, and Nelson ordered the signal flag to continue to fly. The signal flag continued to rise in the battle until the end of the battle. In order to show respect for Nelson, this signal was retained as a coalition tactical signal in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, although the signal itself has no effect in modern naval warfare.
Some famous generals later paid tribute to Nelson's famous saying.
Even his enemy, Napoleon, translated it into French, hoped that every man would fulfill his responsibilities! He also displayed it on French warships, but his most famous imitation of Nelson's famous saying probably belonged to the Japanese Navy's god of war, Hiraeba, Togo.
During the Battle of Tsushima, Hirata Togo also faced the Russian navy, which was stronger than his tonnage and caliber. Under the suggestion of his combat staff, Masayuki Akiyama, he sent out the famous signal of Sir Horazio. "England hopes that every man will perform his duties" that cleared thousands of miles today. The wind and waves are high and the waves are rushing, and the naval forces of the country are all in front of him. The emperor's rise and fall. In this way, each team is at the same time, and work hard!
The final result is also well known. The Japanese defeated Russia in one fell swoop this time.
In addition to such a colorful Victory, there is also a sail warship that is also very transcendent. This warship does not have such a transcendent record as the Victory, and its combat effectiveness is not strong in history. However, this sail warship is a witness to a naval power from nothing to something, from something to strength, and from strength to invincible in the world.
This is the constitutional number of the U.S. Navy.
This is not a big ship, according to England's classification of warships. In the Sailing Age, he was at most a destroyer. Although he participated in the battle for more than 40 times and won all his battles. However, there was no sea battle worthy of being a big book.
The most special thing about him is that as an old ship that has been built for more than 200 years, he is still in active service.
Moreover, the US Navy once claimed that the Constitution will never be retired because it is a symbol of the US Navy. Sail warships are not uncommon in the active service of the world navy. As a training ship, sail training ships are very useful and cheap, but a sail warship that has been in service for 200 years is unique.
Jester remembers that he had watched such a video.
It was a ship reading ceremony held by the US Navy to celebrate their Army Day. A very special shot appeared at that time, which made countless warship enthusiasts inexplicably excited.
At that time, the sailboat Constitution, the Iowa-class battleship Missouri, and the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, the Nimitz-class warship, represented the warships of the three warship eras. When they formed parallel formations and advanced side by side, they immediately felt and felt that what they saw before them was the history of living.
Of course, besides these two, there are still many famous sail warships in history.
Moreover, the selling point of this type of game is not a warship, but a collection and portrait painting. Jester thought about the portrait painting for a while and felt that although the team in his company's team, Son of Mars, was extremely high, it was not a painting like this. He might not be proficient in it. It would be better to go directly to Japan to find a painter who painted H manga to complete it.
Such a level of portraiture does not need to be too high, and ordinary comic artists can be competent. However, in Japan's comics industry, it is not difficult to find a painter.
However, Jester still sighed a little. The current domestic atmosphere is still a bit conservative. If I waited for more than ten or twenty years, I would not have to find a special painter in Japan to draw. Many unknown painters in China have very high levels of painting in this style, such as the Battleship Girl, although their level of painting is slightly worse.
But overall, it is still at the level.
However, Jester just made a general plan for this game on paper.
He is unlikely to make this game in a short period of time.
Moreover, it is not later generations, and the sales volume of such games will not be too high, so it can be considered a lot of people. However, although it is a lot of games, Jester has also made "Lannad" which is also a crowd of people, and there are also many supporters. Although the ship girl's occupancy is slightly different from the occupancy in "Lannad", there are still factors in cultivation.
So, although Jester doesn't have any expectations for the sales of this game.
However, when he reaches his level, it depends on his own thoughts and mood. As for how to develop and what type of development, I don’t care much about it.
Of course, sales are not important.
This time, Mars Entertainment also learned a lot about Sony's promotional methods a year ago.
In fact, the most important thing is to be willing to spend money.
This is a feature that Sony and Mars Entertainment have a year ago, but Mars Entertainment requires more money to achieve the same effect as Sony last year. There is no other reason, just because they are competitors now, and Sony and Sega cannot watch you swagger and promote on their heads. They will definitely snipe.
Such as a TV commercial for prime time with Mars Entertainment.
In this way, Jester must spend more money to get a TV commercial at the same level as Sony last year, and in other aspects.
This also made the publicity budget of Mars Entertainment very fast. The originally planned publicity budget of 200 million US dollars was estimated to cost a lot of time. As a last resort, Mars Entertainment added the publicity budget several times.
Whether it is a forum on the Internet, an interview received in reality, or a survey conducted in a magazine.
But no matter what.
These are all false. What will happen if the result will not be known until the actual release. (To be continued...)
