Rebirth of the big era of online games

Chapter 229 Four Game Planning Cases

There is no pickup limit in "Wulin" now, and even due to the imperfect trading system, you need to type commands. Players trade with each other by throwing things and money on the ground, and the emphasis is on the word "integrity".

At present, the vast majority of players are consciously abiding by game morality, but after "Legend" is released, it is difficult to say this.

The previous life was the game "Legend". The New Year's revision two months after its launch greatly reduced the game's violence rate, resulting in the complete destruction of the moral atmosphere in the game, and infinitely lowered the quality and integrity of Chinese players, resulting in extremely bad influence.

The "Legend" in the previous life can definitely be regarded as the chief culprit that poisoned an entire generation of players, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it poisoned the younger generation, and it will become one of the reasons for the decline in social morality in the future!

That is to say, from the beginning of "Legend", phenomena such as stealing other people's things, game studios, cheats, scammers, and hacking have appeared on a large scale, making players in the game no longer trust each other.

Before that, players would usually borrow equipment from strangers, and they didn’t need to shout when they asked someone to help them with leveling. Some people would take the initiative to bring newbies to leveling. If you didn’t have enough money in the transaction, you could still owe them on credit, such as skill books. Send it directly, and even dare to lend your game account to a player friend who has never met to play.

It would be unimaginable to put these things in later generations, but in the present, such things happen in "Wulin" all the time.

Every time Fang Jie sees players trading in the game and throwing things at each other on the ground, he is very worried. He is always worried about what to do if one party takes the money and slips away... But in fact, every transaction is successfully completed, chatting I have never seen anyone on the channel shouting that they have been cheated, and whoever is a liar.

This is a very strange phenomenon. It is really commendable for so many players to abide by and maintain the game conventions only by self-consciousness.

In addition to the generally high overall quality of players, this is also related to the fact that they have seen too little of the world. Before the Internet, everyone had never seen a person who was too sinister, and they did not realize that everyone had a desire full of desires hidden in their hearts. The beast, it just hasn't been released yet.

Fang Jie is a rational person. He never believes that human beings can keep the animal nature hidden in the cage all the time by relying on self-consciousness. Instead of believing in human nature, it is better to believe in sound rules.

Therefore, his plan for "Legend" directly set the pick-up limit. From a certain point of view, it is also a constraint on the game order and game behavior. The rules define the bottom line of players' behavior.

In short, Fang Jie's "Legend" plan can be regarded as an improved version of the "Legend" version in the previous life. Some unreasonable settings have been removed, and reasonable content has been retained and further upgraded and improved, but it has not copied any version of the previous life. Instead, I added a lot of my own ideas.

He had already finished the plan long before "Wulin" came out on the market. He didn't spend any time on it. He just added a little content when he was free, and then it came out logically. After all, he had the memory of his previous life as a reference. , without any hassle.

In addition to the plans for "Legend" that had already been prepared, Fang Jie was writing three other game plans while he was hanging on "Wulin".

One is the stand-alone LAN game "Cross Fire" or "CF", which is basically a copy of "Cross Fire" from the previous life. Of course, this game is also a copy of "Counter-Strike".

Fang Jie just made a proposal, added some suggestions for improvement, and then handed it over to Tencent to handle the matter. After all, he has experience, and he is the chief game officer of Tencent. Since he has received this salary, he will do it for Tencent. Do something.

In the previous life, "CF" was actually developed in South Korea and operated by Tencent, so it is a bit unfair to say that Tencent plagiarized and borrowed from "CS". The real plagiarist is the Korean game company Smile Gate Entertainment (Smile Gate).

However, it is said that South Korea's Xiaomen Entertainment developed "CF" at the request of Tencent. Because the domestic game development technology and talents could not meet the requirements, Tencent had to find a foreign company to develop it. It took several years to succeed in 2007. , So this is what Tencent is "referring to", and it seems to be right.

Regardless of whether it is plagiarism or reference, whether it is a trick of exchanging a civet cat for the prince, anyway, in this life, Fang Jie plans to launch this project ahead of schedule.

Its purpose is to replace the current "CS" which continues to be popular, and to seize the market share of local area network stand-alone games. Base.

Interestingly, after receiving the game planning proposal, Tencent directly called Fang Jie back the same way.

It’s not that I’m not optimistic about this project, but I’m quite optimistic about it, and I am very willing to do it. However, Tencent currently lacks game talents, and the game department that works on “Idle” is not enough, so this project has to cooperate with Boiling Games to complete .

Tencent is very rich now, but being rich does not mean having talents. The key is that they are not well-known in the game industry, and their reputation is still very bad. All the big talents in the game industry are loyal fans of the game, and they are very fond of Tencent. I look down on it, and feel that if I go to Tencent, it will be a very disreputable thing, even if the salary is high, I will dismiss it.

In this regard, other domestic companies are much stronger than Tencent. Many of the gold medalists in the domestic game industry in the previous life came from Kingsoft and Netease, and almost none of them came from Tencent.

Of course, Tencent doesn’t need these gold-medal bosses. Goose Factory is very clear about its own positioning, focusing on technology. As for creativity, if you can’t fight it, just move it directly, or borrow chickens to lay eggs like "CF", which is not bad.

Therefore, Tencent expressed its willingness to pay for the project "Cross Fire", which was actually developed and produced by Boiling Games, and finally handed over to Tencent as an agent, which is an outsourcing nature and can be regarded as a rational use of resources.

So it was just a game proposal, and Fang Jie got 600 million development funds from Tencent, which can be described as an empty-handed wolf, but Tencent is not short of money now, and has confidence in Boiling Games, 600 million is only the first phase of investment That's all, if it's done well, there will be more money.

In addition to the transfer game plans such as "Legend" and "Cross Fire", Fang Jie also made a 2D game plan for "The Legend of Jin Yong" based on the MUD of "The Legend of Jin Yong".

This is not "The Legend of Jin Yong Heroes ONLNE" from the previous life, but his original game planning.

It is precisely because of this that the current plan is still only on the framework, and the general idea is already there, but the relevant content is still being conceived and considered, and it is constantly being filled in.

Fang Jie's plan is that martial arts online games will be made into a series and become one of the signature masterpieces of Boiling Games, and this "one" can even be removed. The first virtual reality online game of Boiling Games in the future will definitely be a martial arts theme. online games.

Of course, in the short term, the international market cannot be given up, so the third proposal is an online game with a fantasy theme, to see if it can replace Blizzard's "World of Warcraft".

This difficulty is a bit high. There are only less than 4 years left before the launch of "World of Warcraft". Now Boiling Games has no technical talents and strength in this area.

Especially the game engine, there is not even a shadow now, so this plan is still only on the outline of the plan. The most important thing at present is to build the game engine first.
