Rebirth 1984: Starting with the development of Hanka

"Adogan! Adogan! Adogan!"

“Gas consumption!!!”

"KO!"

Zhao Ye smiled, he won again, killing secretary Liu Yinyin and beautiful bodyguard Li Aojun, 1v2.

In front of him is a four-card slot arcade machine produced by Wujiang Group. There is a small blue circle button on the desktop. When inserting coins, press this blue button to change to the next game.

Zhao Ye's current arcade machine has "Street Fighter", "King of Fighters", "Contra" and "Tetris" installed.

Zhao Ye, Liu Yinyin and Li Aojun rarely play games, and the three of them are considered novices. However, Zhao Ye is more experienced after all. He has played on the computer many times in his previous life, so he always wins.

Liu Yinyin puffed her lips and said: "Boss, you keep winning. Fighting games are boring to play. This game is simply too unfriendly to girls! Boss, is there a more interesting game that relies mainly on IQ to win..."

Liu Yinyin graduated from a prestigious university and boasts a high IQ.

Now, she is already the secretary-general of Zhao Ye's secretarial team.

"Are you sure?!" Zhao Ye looked at Liu Yinyin with a surprised look on his face and asked. Among the few people, you have the lowest IQ. You don't have to be self-aware~

When Liu Yinyin heard this, she suddenly reacted. She looked at her boss, a super genius who would not be born for a hundred years, and then at the beautiful bodyguard and translator Li Aojun beside her. She was proficient in multiple languages, and also had computer and psychology skills. Study a double major. Compared with the two of them, my IQ is crushed, but I still want to rely on my IQ to win the game? ? ? It’s so embarrassing, I want to find a hole to hide in...

Seeing Liu Yinyin's slightly red face with embarrassment, Zhao Ye smiled and did not continue to tease her, but said: "There really is a game like the one you mentioned. By the way, do you know the 'mafia' game? Literally translated, it means "Black Hand" party? "

When Liu Yinyin heard this, she looked confused and shook her head, saying she didn't know, Mafia mafia? What stuff, I've never heard of it?

Li Aojun said slowly at this time: "The Mafia game you are talking about should be a game developed in 1986 by Dmitry Davidov, a psychology professor at Moscow State University in the Soviet Union, in order to attract more young people to be interested in psychology. game.”

Zhao Ye was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "You know all this?!"

He originally wanted to show off, but unexpectedly, Li Aojun actually knew this game.

Li Aojun rolled up his hair and smiled slightly: "Because I major in psychology and am more interested in some interesting psychological things. I happened to hear someone else talk about it, so I wrote it down."

Okay, you're a great student!

After a pause, Zhao Ye began to introduce: "I improved the rules of this game and created a killer game with a werewolf theme. The name of this killing game is "Werewolf"! "

"A Werewolf game generally consists of twelve players, and they will belong to two opposing camps in the game: the Werewolf camp and the Villager camp!"

"There are 4 people in the werewolf camp and 8 people in the villagers camp."

"The villagers camp has a large number of people but they don't know each other. Using banishment voting and character skills as the main means, all the werewolves hidden in the crowd need to be eliminated to gain the final victory."

"The smaller number of werewolves who know each other hide among them, relying on hunting villagers at night and inducing villagers to vote incorrectly during the day as a means of winning."

"Four of the eight villager players are civilians. They do not have any special abilities except speaking and voting during the day; the remaining four players play the role of clergy with different special abilities."

"Judgement of victory or defeat:

Villager camp: The winner is when all four werewolves are eliminated.

Werewolf camp: There are two ways to win. One is to eliminate all four priests; the other is to eliminate all four civilians. "

Following Zhao Ye's introduction, Liu Yinyin and Li Aojun couldn't help but their eyes lit up and they were eager to give it a try.

"Boss, what are the four priests' positions? What special abilities do they have?" Liu Yinyin asked impatiently.

Zhao Ye organized his language and replied:

"There are a lot of priests, so I will talk about the more important priests that are often chosen by players."

“The first priesthood is the prophet, with one person.

[Ability]: Every night you can check whether a player is a good person or a werewolf.

[Goal]: Use your own abilities to lead everyone to find and expel all werewolves! "

"The second priesthood is witch, with one person.

[Ability]: The witch has two bottles of medicine. The antidote can save a player who was killed by a werewolf that night, and the poison can kill a player. The witch can use up to one bottle of medicine every night. The witch cannot save herself.

[Goal]: Make good use of poisons and antidotes to drive out all werewolves. "

"The third priesthood is hunter, with one person.

[Ability]: If and only if the hunter is killed by a werewolf or voted to be exiled, the hunter can show his identity card and designate a player to shoot. If he is poisoned by a witch, he cannot activate his skills.

[Goal]: One life for one, and expel all werewolves out. "

"The fourth priesthood is the God of Love (Cupid), with one person.

On the first night, choose two players to become a couple. Cupid can choose to be one of the lovers. If one of the lovers is unfortunate, the other will die for him.

If two of the lovers belong to different camps, their game goal will change to the couple just want to live peacefully, so they must get rid of all other players. "

"Boss, this "Werewolf" game sounds really interesting. Let's try it!" Liu Yinyin said excitedly.

Li Aojun said nothing, but his eyes were full of expectation.

In addition, the two people couldn't help but admire Zhao Ye in their eyes.

Zhao Ye looked at his watch and said to Liu Yinyin: "Please sort out the game rules of "Werewolf" I just mentioned, and then send them to the game development department and ask them to make them into board game cards. Then everyone will find a Time to play again.”

"Oh, okay, boss!" Liu Yinyin sighed.

It's really exciting. I'm so excited, but you don't want to play anymore?

On the one hand, Zhao Ye had something to do, but on the other hand, it seemed not interesting to play with a bunch of rookies who were playing Werewolf for the first time.

Zhao Ye dared to conclude that it wouldn't take long for the "Werewolf" game to spread within the company. When Liu Yinyin and others got started, he would torture them and feel a sense of accomplishment.

But having said that, the development prospects of tabletop games are actually pretty good. In the previous life, the global tabletop game market was estimated to be between US$110 billion and US$134 billion, and China only had about US$1 million.

At that time, smart phones had become popular, and people spent more time playing mobile phones and less time playing table games.

But it's different now. It's only 1987.

Board games have a bright future!

When everyone gathers for entertainment, board games are of course the first choice.

"Werewolf", "Three Kingdoms", "Magic: The Gathering", "Yu-Gi-Oh!", "Assassination God", "Monopoly", "Avalon", "Catan", "Pokemon" trading cards Card games, etc…

This is all money! ! !

As long as Wujiang Group can develop these tabletop games, it will immediately become the dominant player in the tabletop game industry and fill the gap left by Wujiang Group in the tabletop game market.

Zhao Ye thought about it and secretly made a note of the development of board games.

……

Next month, the unique first WCG World E-Sports Competition will begin soon. Starting from December 12, preliminary rounds will be held in various countries.

Select the strongest representatives from each country and then go to Shanghai to participate in the finals.

Zhao Ye made an appointment with Wang Jizhi at this time.

Wang Jizhi said: "Boss, it's November 11th now. The release of Borderless Arcade is a bit tight at this time. Is it still too late? Otherwise, the WCG competition will be postponed."

This time when the arcade is released, the Wujiang Group will announce that fighting series games such as "Street Fighter" and "The King of Fighters" will be played on the Wuji arcade.

Such publicity will surely make Borderless Arcade popular all over the world.

Suspected of bundled sales?

Sorry, Wujiang Group organizes its own competitions. You can do whatever you want. Are you in charge? If you have the ability, you can organize your own competitions and bundle your own arcade machines...

"There is no need to postpone it. Since the competition time is stipulated on December 12, it cannot be changed easily. There is still one month, which is enough to promote the Borderless Arcade and allow players to have sufficient time to practice. For a master, fighting The platform of the game is of course important, and the use of a controller is somewhat different from an arcade joystick, but what is more important is the understanding of fighting games."

"But having said that, using a joystick to play fighting games is more comfortable and more engaging. I believe they will accept it."

Zhao Ye had seen some people playing fighting games on the arcade machine. That guy was totally immersed in it. Every operation was as fierce as a tiger, and his body was shaking left and right. Zhao Ye looked at the battered arcade machine and saw the quality of the secret passage. good.

In view of the large number of such players, the quality of Wujiang Arcade is also very high.

Wang Jizhi nodded: "Yes, it should be."

Zhao Ye leaned back, leaning his head on the backrest of the sofa, and said casually: "Has the work of distributing the Wujiang arcade machines been completed?"

"It's done. Everything is ready, all we need is east wind! Just wait for us to hold a press conference tomorrow to announce the news!" Wang Jizhi nodded in response.

"Okay! We will use the WCG style to make Borderless Arcade popular all over the world quickly!!!"
