Chapter 210 : Stacking Materials by Any Means Necessary!
"Aha? You've already fleshed it out this much?"
After listening to the three of them chattering away, Lin Lixin was stunned for a moment.
The design document for this work was already much more mature than Blizzard's debut work, RPM Racing.
This gameplay loop structure was already infinitely close to that truly good work that came later, Rock N' Roll Racing.
"Can... can it be done?"
Ē ň u m а̂
"Of course, but I feel we can be even more radical."
Lin Lixin rubbed his chin, thinking about how to make this work jump directly from the level of a good game to top-tier.

Recalling the birth of this work, in the original timeline, it was developed by Blizzard's lead programmer using 6502 assembly.
In a mere 2.49MB of capacity, they crammed in hundreds of tracks, over a dozen weapons, and an isometric perspective with a very strong sense of three-dimensionality.
But since they were making an arcade game now, this kind of meticulous, scalpel-like development was actually completely unnecessary.
Letting go and stacking materials to the extreme seemed completely worth a try.

"True 3D... is a bit too expensive..."
Stuffing one or even two production-grade 3D accelerator cards into an arcade machine...
The cost of such an arcade machine was truly a bit scary.
But if you really ask if it's possible to make it, it actually is.

"Then let's do it! You guys continue to flesh out the specific gameplay design first, and I'll go get you some top-tier stuff."
Lin Lixin clapped his hands.

If you're scared, don't play; if you play, don't be scared. If they constantly worried about cost issues, they wouldn't be GAMENOVA.
Since they were going to do it, they would push it to the limit!

"President Lin wants to order our hydraulic motion-sensing cabinets?"
Hayao Nakayama, who was still at the Sega North America branch supervising the situation of the 16-bit next-generation console, received an unexpected phone call.
Lin Lixin called him to inquire about the motion-sensing motorcycle arcade machine Sega had launched a couple of years ago.

Since their previous collaboration on memory chips, Hayao Nakayama's interactions with GAMENOVA hadn't been very close recently.
Oh, they had just recently ordered a batch of 16-bit SPU audio chips jointly launched by Micron and Motorola.
"To be exact, it's to custom-make a special motion-sensing cabinet based on your company's application patents."
Compared to starting from scratch, assembling a team of mechanical engineers, and completely hand-building a set from every hydraulic rod and every screw, directly using the ready-made supply chain in Sega's hands was actually a good method.
After all, this thing wasn't a conventional arcade machine like in the past; ordinary foundries really couldn't handle this military-grade work.
"..."

Hayao Nakayama was silent for a long time.
"President Lin wants to make an arcade racing game?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Yes."
Lin Lixin had no intention of hiding it at all.
"..."
Faced with such a bizarre situation, even Hayao Nakayama didn't know how to express himself.

Using their own product to make a competing product...
"I will talk to Section Chief Yu Suzuki about this matter, but even if we can license the patent to President Lin, our Sega cannot handle the production issue."
This complex system of mechanical linkage + hydraulic assistance was currently entirely a military-grade product.
Just like that oversized realistic fighter jet cockpit Atari had brought out at the CES exhibition earlier.

Including that thing, these were not things that software companies like them could handle.
The ones truly responsible for production behind the scenes were the military-industrial complex.

Defense contractors like GE Aviation and Martin Marietta were the true manufacturers of these cabinets.
"We will find a way to solve this problem."
Lin Lixin smiled and didn't say much more.
They actually did have an aviation company partner.
Lockheed, one of MicroNova's biggest clients.

California, Los Angeles.
The metal band Metallica gathered in the recording studio, anxiously waiting for a reply.
Whether they could be successfully selected to enter this issue's Rocksmith expansion pack was of great significance to them.
Although their new album Master of Puppets from last year had gained some fame, the sales were never considered ideal.
The few of them had been waiting for an opportunity that could let them make a real name for themselves.
The thrash metal genre would definitely become top-tier in heavy metal!

Today, they received a notice from their signed record label, Blackened Recordings, that they had officially received a reply from GAMENOVA.
This proved that at least they had been successfully selected for this issue's expansion pack.

It was just that the actual ranking order hadn't been officially announced yet.
Bzzz
The electric bell rang, and lead singer James, who was already standing in front of the door, immediately pulled it open.
The person who came was the contact person from Blackened Recordings.

He held out the already opened letter in his hand, his expression relaxed but mixed with unconcealable surprise.
"Congratulations to you all."
James noticed the uncontrollable excitement in his tone, his eyes flashing.
"Could it be?"

"Ranked first in the next expansion pack!"
"Holy nova!"

"And..."
However, before they could cheer, the contact person's voice sounded again.
This time, he completely stopped hiding his excitement and loudly announced the true blockbuster news.
"GAMENOVA invites Metallica to join their new work Rock N' Roll Racing, including Metallica's album as background music!"
"Hooray!!!"
It's secure, everything is secure!

During the same period, legendary racing commentator 'SuperMouth' Hoffman received a strange invitation.
They actually wanted him to provide commentary voiceover for a video game??
After repeated confirmation by his agency, Hoffman finally confirmed that this wasn't a prank letter.
As a top-tier commentator famous for a speaking speed of over 300 words per minute and top-tier emotional mobilization ability, what kind of big storms hadn't Hoffman seen?
Hey, he really hadn't seen this before.
Е̂n u̇m̀ a .і̆d
What kind of video game could actually use the voiceover of a real commentator?
Such a show-off job, how satisfying would that be?

He would go even without pay, let alone there was a signing fee to take.

Blizzard.
The Mike trio looked dumbfoundedly at the letters passed over one after another.

A full motion-sensing simulated driving cockpit!
The inclusion of Metallica, the founders of the thrash metal genre!
The joining of SuperMouth, the hottest legendary racing commentator in the country!
And... top-tier graphics acceleration chips produced by MicroNova!

What is this trying to do?

What, are aliens coming to challenge Earthlings to a game-making competition?
Is it really necessary?
"I've finished all my work, the rest is up to you three to perform."
Leaving behind such a sentence that instantly blew up their pressure gauges, Lin Lixin waved his hand and slipped away like the wind.
"???"
The Blizzard trio, collaborating on a project with Lin Lixin for the first time, successfully reshaped their fragile worldview on this day.

So game development could be like this.
The entire motion-sensing cabinet was completely packaged into a ready-made API by the development team at GAMENOVA headquarters, controlled by an integrated chip.
By simply calling the functions on it, they could easily control the changes of the hydraulic cylinders with just one line of code.
This thing, combined with a racing game that focused on crazy combat...
It would be insanely satisfying, okay?
