During the developnt of the SFC and GB, Takayuki already instructed the employees to prepare in advance for future internet and online connectivity. However, until the related gas and systems were thoroughly perfected, Takayuki didn't intend to make it public, aiming to prevent competitors from learning too early and copying their products.
Things like adding a network port to their own ga console or adding wired multiplayer connectivity were not difficult at all. Moreover, even if they applied for related technology patents, bypassing these simple technology patents would be easy for Surui Electronics with its research and developnt capabilities.
It's just like the previous directional pad patent; I can choose not to make it a directional pad and instead make it four directional buttons shaped like squares, circles, and triangles, which cannot be stopped.
So Takayuki's only advantage was to catch others off guard.
Thanks to the fact that no one had made ga consoles or handheld consoles in this world, those who ca later learned from their electronic gaming godfather.
They only thought of doing what they themselves did.
Only Surui Electronics had a bit of originality, making a wide variety of controllers to increase the diversity of gas.
But what really affected gas was the gaplay itself, not these flashy controllers.
And their internet connection module and the handheld's wired connection could directly affect the overall gaplay experience.
Takayuki wanted to catch their competitors off guard.
They pinpointed the approximate ti fra when their research and developnt of the new ga console was almost complete and announced several unexpected features to disrupt their competitors' rhythm.
Before they made it public, even if their competitors thought about using the internet or wired multiplayer, they definitely wouldn't have the foresight of soone from the future like themselves.
They would only continue to experint and often take detours, while Takayuki already knew the most correct answers directly.
Now, Takayuki's plan had succeeded.
Currently, Surui Electronics' 32-bit ga console had already reached about 80% of its developnt stage and was about to be completely developed. The remaining tasks were the ga console system and related ga developnt work.
And their handheld console, being researched faster, was nearing completion and had already begun contacting manufacturing factories for mass production.
But now, Takayuki suddenly announced that their ga console could be connected to the internet and even play multiplayer gas, which was quite sudden.
Odachuan hurriedly asked, "Can we still add this wired multiplayer system and hardware module to our handheld console now? Also, imdiately contact the factory and stop all production lines preparing to manufacture the mainboard. I'll take responsibility for the losses!"
Seeing that the handheld console could play multiplayer gas with wired connections, and seeing the happy faces of the children playing together in the advertisent, Odachuan knew that this was a very important point that would affect the sales of the ga console. They must also implent this wired multiplayer feature, absolutely cannot fall behind in this aspect!
An employee quickly ran out to contact the factory to stop production.
And the head of the engineering team, wiping cold sweat, said, "We can still add this module to the mainboard now... it's just that it might affect our planned release schedule for the ga console. We need to do hardware debugging, and then wait until the debugging is perfect before we can determine the new mainboard design."
"How many days of developnt ti do you need to tell ?"
"At least half a month."
"I'll give you ten days. Work overti and finish it for . I'll increase your overti pay by one and a half tis per person."
With the lure of money, several engineers also beca excited.
Overti in Japan was quite common, and sotis just getting extra overti pay was already considered generous by the company.
And Odachuan directly announced an increase in overti pay by one and a half tis, so they were all imdiately motivated.
The head of the engineering team glanced back at the reaction of his subordinates, then nodded vigorously. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, we can guarantee completion within ten days."
Odachuan began to ponder. The release date of the handheld console had already been set for early November, and preparations for various publicity announcents had already been made. But now it seed that they would have to recall all these advertisents.
At the sa ti, he also needed to ask the head office for more research and developnt funds.
Just providing employees with extra overti pay wasn't enough; they also needed enough research and developnt funds to quickly design a mainboard compatible with the wired multiplayer module. And this would probably require at least 100 million yen.
But Odachuan thought this was acceptable, just not sure if the people at the head office would agree.
Hopefully, they would agree to allocate the budget this ti for the sake of his father's face.
Takayuki, you young man, you're really amazing. You always manage to co up with sothing unexpected that catches off guard. Why didn't soone like you have any reputation before? This shouldn't be the case.
Could it be because his father's brilliance overshadowed his child's potential?
Odachuan was very proactive. After issuing the tasks, the employees imdiately got to work, each performing their duties.
Because of the generous rewards, the employees worked very hard.
In addition to the research and developnt of the wired connection for the handheld console, he also needed the team developing the new console to add a network module. This ti, they absolutely could not fall behind, and he had already begun considering forming a dedicated creative team.
The creative team didn't need to do any boring work every day; they just needed to continuously provide various ideas, good or bad, for to review and determine whether they could truly beco future developnt directions.
Other companies in the gaming industry that were also researching ga consoles were now in a panic.
The unexpected advertisent from GaStar Entertainnt caught many companies in the industry off guard.
If you don't keep up, your ga console will be outdated.
If you do keep up, you'll have to redesign everything, and the cost of this effort is a bit painful.
Now, many bosses of dium-sized entertainnt companies are cursing Takayuki.
You damn guy, why did you release such an advertisent at this ti? Our ga console is almost done, and then you pull this move on us.
If it weren't for you, maybe we could make money more easily. Couldn't you develop a bit slower? At least give us a chance to slowly drink soup!
With the rapid developnt of Ga Star Entertainnt, other imitating companies couldn't afford to take it slow.
This is an era of liking new things and disliking the old. If you don't develop together with the leaders, you will be completely left behind and never be able to turn the tide.
Many dium-sized companies that had just invested heavily in transitioning to the gaming industry were now faced with the need to reinvest funds to develop ga consoles again, which was quite a loss. Many company bosses are now thinking not about catching up quickly, but silently cursing Takayuki for not being hit by a car so that the developnt of electronic gas could progress slower, and they could make money more comfortably.
