# 미호요(miHoYo)

## 매 한 줄
> **"매 anime gacha 의 global standard 를 만든 Shanghai studio"**. 2012년 상하이교통대 학생 3명이 창업, 2020년 *원신(Genshin Impact)* 으로 anime open-world + gacha 의 mainstream breakthrough 를 달성. 2022년 global brand `HoYoverse` 로 rebranding 후 *Honkai: Star Rail*, *Zenless Zone Zero* 까지 multi-IP live-service 제국으로 확장.

## 💻 패턴

### Gacha pity system (확률 보장)
```csharp
// Genshin-style soft pity at 74, hard pity at 90
public class GachaPity {
    private int pulls = 0;
    private const int SOFT_PITY = 74;
    private const int HARD_PITY = 90;

    public bool Roll5Star(System.Random rng) {
        pulls++;
        float baseRate = 0.006f;
        float rate = pulls < SOFT_PITY ? baseRate
                   : pulls >= HARD_PITY ? 1.0f
                   : baseRate + (pulls - SOFT_PITY + 1) * 0.06f;
        if (rng.NextDouble() < rate) { pulls = 0; return true; }
        return false;
    }
}
```

### Elemental reaction (Genshin)
```csharp
public enum Element { Pyro, Hydro, Cryo, Electro, Anemo, Geo, Dendro }

public static float ApplyReaction(Element atk, Element aura, float dmg) {
    return (atk, aura) switch {
        (Element.Pyro, Element.Hydro) => dmg * 1.5f,    // Vaporize
        (Element.Hydro, Element.Pyro) => dmg * 2.0f,    // Reverse Vaporize
        (Element.Pyro, Element.Cryo)  => dmg * 2.0f,    // Melt
        (Element.Electro, Element.Hydro) => dmg * 1.0f, // Electro-Charged
        (Element.Dendro, Element.Hydro) => dmg * 2.0f,  // Bloom
        _ => dmg
    };
}
```

### Live-service version cadence
```yaml
# Genshin / Star Rail 6-week patch cycle
patch_cycle: 42_days
phases:
  - day_0:  major_version_release  # 4.0, 4.1, ...
  - day_21: phase_2_banner          # mid-version character swap
  - day_35: preview_livestream      # next version
  - day_42: next_major
```

### Cross-save backend (MiHoYo Account)
```python
# Sketch of unified account → game-shard mapping
def resolve_shard(account_id: str, game: str, region: str) -> str:
    return f"{game}-{region}-{hash(account_id) % SHARDS_PER_REGION}"
```

## 매 결정 기준
| 상황 | Approach |
|---|---|
| anime open-world reference | *Genshin* gameplay loop study |
| gacha BM 설계 | 50/50 + pity (Genshin standard) |
| turn-based gacha | *Honkai: Star Rail* 의 SP/Ult system |
| urban action gacha | *ZZZ* 의 chain combo system |

**기본값**: 매 game design reference 로 *Genshin* 의 elemental reaction + 6-week cadence 를 baseline 으로.

## 🤖 LLM 활용
**언제**: anime gacha design reference, live-service cadence benchmark, Chinese game industry context.
**언제 X**: PvP-centric / esports / non-anime western RPG design.

## ❌ 안티패턴
- **"miHoYo = HoYoverse"**: 매 같은 회사지만 매 China-only 운영은 mihoyo.com, global 은 hoyoverse.com 으로 entity 분리.
- **"gacha = pure RNG"**: 매 modern miHoYo gacha 는 pity + 50/50 + soft pity curve 가 결정적, RNG 만 보면 안 됨.
- **"원신 = BotW clone"**: 매 traversal 만 inspired, combat / gacha / live-service loop 은 매 독자.

## 🧪 검증 / 중복
- Verified (HoYoverse 공식 press kit, Sensor Tower 2024 mobile revenue report).
- 신뢰도 A.
