Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 393 Tian Moyun: After growing up, I became the person I hate the most

The development of Pokémon will take some time.

However, "Contra: Obsession" is more than half done, and it's okay to come up with a beta version.

On the previous earth, "Contra: Obsession" is not a new work, but a ported version of the console game "Contra: Spirit".

That is "Contra 2" released last year.

Tian Moyun has never been interested in making cold rice. This time "Contra: Obsession", many revisions have been made.

For example, some adjustments have been made to the screen performance, level design, and the difficulty of attacking minions and bosses.

Excluding many parts that are difficult to pass in console games, and then filling them with newly designed levels, the content is also very rich.

However, many classic gameplays of "Contra: Spirit" are preserved in a simplified way.

Example: dual weapon system.

Dual weapons are one of the highlights in "Contra: Spirit", but this function was removed when the handheld version was transplanted, which made many players at that time feel sorry.

Tian Moyun thought for a long time, and finally decided to keep it.

As for the bomb system—

There is no need to add this, otherwise it will be too cumbersome and increase the difficulty for handheld players.

And there's the tracking bomb——

It is a wonderful design that is very unreasonable to fight. In the minds of many players, this thing is worse than a shotgun, but it is not as powerful as the latter.

Of course, this good design must be preserved, not only preserved, but also strengthened in power.

The handheld version is different from the console version, the screen is small, and the buttons on the handheld are far less easy to use than the controller of the console. Appropriate weakening will help the players' physical and mental health.

Another major weapon feature: the flamethrower——

Tian Moyun thought for a few seconds when making the design draft, hesitating on the choice of "whether to weaken the power", and finally decided: delete!

The design of the flamethrower is very easy to use on the host side. When it is used to fight the boss, its power is so powerful that it will explode.

But on the handheld side...

Not even a good design.

Because the handheld version of "Contra" itself weakens the difficulty of clearing the level. If the flamethrower is not cut, the player will be invincible after eating this, and it will be meaningless to fight.

If the flamethrower is weakened, it will make players feel too difficult and very tasteless.

Therefore, instead of worrying about whether to weaken it, it is better to delete this setting directly.

Tian Moyun is very good at subtraction!

There are many similar modifications. Tian Moyun tries his best to ensure that each of his games is unique. Even if it is a ported version, it is best to have its own characteristics, and it needs to show some sincerity, rather than blatantly frying cold rice.

Fry cold rice, sell feelings.

Either it is a more important anniversary, or the manufacturer can't make a good game, so they can only use their feelings to make bad money...

……

Take out the test version of the handheld, import "Contra: Obsession", and then start a simple trial.

"The degree of completion is not bad, it is considered qualified."

After playing a few rounds, Tian Moyun said casually: "Go ahead, the last two levels can be made a little more difficult. The previous players have already adapted to this level of difficulty. In the later stage, it will be slightly enhanced, and the players can also accept it. Specifically, we need to add more soldiers. , add a few more difficult little bosses."

"Ok."

The person in charge nodded.

……

After that, Tian Moyun looked at the development progress of another game: "Mario: World".

Unlike "Contra: Obsession", the picture of "Mario: World" is obviously much more detailed.

The use of cartoon style, wonderful level design and brand-new creative gameplay also made the sales volume of this game on the earth reach a very scary number.

Not surprising when you think about it.

Although "Contra" is well-known, "Mario: World" is used to escort the new host, and it is Nintendo's biggest trump card. The gap between the two is not small.

Tian Moyun did not make any modifications to "Mario: World", because its original version is already perfect.

at most……

It is better to make the color better.

The graphics processing capability of [Thunder Handheld] is far better than the "GBA" in the previous life.

Making the color, contrast, and picture quality better will not burden the handheld.

"Mario: World" contains 7 worlds, 72 levels, 96 exits, and a new character: Yoshi!
Yoshi is Mario's mount.

Of course, it's not just as simple as a mount. Yoshi has four forms, which are distinguished by color: green, yellow, red, and blue.

Each color has a different skill, which helps Mario a lot, not just decorations.

What about the plot——

Mario and Princess Peach went to Yoshi Island for vacation, and then... Princess Peach was taken again and again.

So Mario embarked on the journey to find Princess Peach again.

During this process, Mario got to know the egg imprisoned by Bowser (the villain who died many times), and a little dinosaur named Yoshi popped out of the egg.

And during the conversation, I learned that Yoshi's partner was also captured by Bowser (the magical Bowser).

In the end, Mario and Yoshi embarked on the journey of pretending to face... Ah no, to rescue Princess Peach and a group of friends.

The brand new adventure, the story of dog blood, kicked off again and again.

……

Well, the story, anyway, is used to coax children, it is not important, the important thing is the game itself!

Tian Moyun pays more attention to the development of "Mario: World".

Because he knows very well—

"Pokémon" and "Mario: World", these two games are the core of the first launch of [Thunder Handheld].

As for "Contra: Obsession", it is only used to perfect the first type.

Although the game itself is not bad, this big IP is also very popular on consoles and arcades.

But on the handheld platform, the sales volume is definitely not as good as the first two, so don't even think about it.

……

at the same time.

"Defending the Frontier: Guardians of the Empire" also started its first activity since its launch, the purpose of which is to stimulate players to spend and win a good fortune.

"As of 23 days ago, "Defense the Border" has exceeded 4500 million in revenue, which is very close to the 6300 million in the first month of "My Homeland."

Zhou Yunteng said: "There are still the last 7 days. If I guess correctly, Chen Guohua should try to organize activities and try to surpass "My Homeland" in terms of revenue in the first month. In this way, we can Shout slogans that surpass you."

"Is it so important to surpass me?"

Tian Moyun was a little puzzled.

"of course."

Zhou Yunteng nodded, and said seriously: "Mr. Tian, ​​no matter which platform it is, any game of the same type/same period with more revenue than yours will have terrible final sales... For example, when the popularity of "Dinosaur Kombat" faded back then. , and several new works from top manufacturers that compete with you are still on the daily sales list."

"..."

Tian Moyun was a little speechless, silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "I used to hate those very dazzling and radiant people the most, but I didn't expect that when I grew up, I would live like the person I hate the most."

Zhou Yunteng: "???"

Brother, shall we not pretend to beep?
