Let you make games, you directly shoot blockbusters?.

Chapter 268

Magic style MMORPG?

Hearing Chen Lin's words, Lao Song and Li were shocked.

Not because of the style of the game, but because of the type of game!

Now who in the entire industry doesn't know that Penguin and several other major capital companies are trying to get their hands on the big category of role-playing games?
It's like the penguin is one step ahead and occupies the territory of the shooting game category.

Role-playing is also the category with the largest player base today, and how many manufacturers are staring at it.

One could even say so.

Being able to occupy a place in this category is equivalent to having the capital to gain a foothold in the game industry!

And it seems that the production cycle of this game is not short.

No wonder Chen Lin was so cautious.

Or.

Manufacturers of this type of game are very cautious.

"Huh? You are here."

At this time, Chen Lin, who was chatting, noticed Lao Song and Lao Li, and looked towards them.

Liu Heng turned his head and showed doubts: "Who are these two?"

"Operation director Lao Song and production director Lao Li are usually in charge of project development and operation."

After Chen Lin finished explaining, he introduced to Lao Song and Lao Li: "He is Liu Heng, my former art design tutor, and also a professor at Binhai University. I specially invited him to be an art director."

"We understand, we understand. I have heard from Xiaoli just now that Professor Liu can come to our studio, which really makes us flourish."

The two hurried up to hold Liu Heng's palm and greeted warmly.

Because they all know that having such a person in charge is absolutely beneficial and harmless to Honghuang.

In case someone comes up with some research results in the future and becomes a leader in the academic world, then they can follow suit.

After all, this professor only seemed to be in his 50s, much younger than other professors who were casually in their 80s and [-]s.

"You two are being polite, I just came here to help my students." Liu Heng responded with a smile.

After some politeness, he looked at Chen Lin beside him: "By the way, what kind of game is that you just said?"

As soon as these words came out, the attention of Lao Song and Lao Li shifted instantly.

And everyone in the art team also focused on Chen Lin.

Chen Lin didn't answer right away, but asked instead: "Have you ever heard of the orcs?"

"Orcs? The Furui kind?" Lao Li said subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, everyone looked at him strangely.

"Uh... don't get me wrong, it's just that many people on the Internet have been saying recently that it happened to be brushed."

Lao Li finally came to his senses and quickly explained.

Since they logged the AI ​​program into the Honghuangkaitian platform, there have been many such pictures in the background database, and it is hard not to see them.

Chen Lin smiled and said, "It's not the kind you mentioned, but another kind of orc, more ferocious and wild."

"You mean an orc with a western magical background?" Liu Heng's eyes lit up. "I did study a similar art style design some time ago, and disassembled the bones. If it's this kind of thing, it's not too difficult."

"What about the architectural style and living environment?" Chen Lin asked quickly.

The content of that game is too huge, even he can't remember it clearly, and it's not easy to restore it completely.

"These are no problem. I have a few assistants who happened to be studying this subject recently and collected a lot of information."

"Okay! That's all right."

Chen Lin heaved a sigh of relief. Without the other party's technical support, his project might continue to be shelved.

By that time, other manufacturers may have already released new MMO games to seize the market ahead of time.

Everything is ready now.

In a year, he should be able to launch this game.

"By the way, what's the name of your game?" Liu Heng asked.

Chen Lin took a deep breath: "Warcraft, this game is called World of Warcraft!"

……

New project finalized.

The entire Honghuang studio also became busy.

Under the deployment of Lao Song and Lao Li, a new game special team was established to be responsible for the development of this epic masterpiece, and began to make preliminary preparations.

This game is mainly made to deal with the next MMO market.

of course.

Chen Lin also knows that its production cycle is not short, so he is not in a hurry for success, and let the new project team polish it slowly.

their main focus.

Or on other games.

When the production is completed, the time is ripe, and it will not be too late to release it officially, so there is always a hidden method.

After all, which major manufacturer does not have a few projects in progress?

As soon as the wind blows, you can take it out directly and quickly seize the market share.

This is why small factories are slower than large factories.

Plan ahead.

There is always nothing wrong.

However, because of this, Chen Lin's small game plan fell through.

There is no extra manpower, so there is no way to think about it for the time being, and we can only wait for a while.

"That's right, Old Li."

Soon, he found Lao Li who was busy: "How is the new map of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds?"

"The test has been completed a few days ago, and you can go online at any time. Do you want to go online now?" Lao Li looked through the information and replied.

"Let's go, just take advantage of the heat of the competition to drop, and continue the wave of heat, so that the sales should exceed [-] million."

"OK, I understand."

As soon as he heard the sales volume of tens of millions, Lao Li suddenly regained his spirits and hurried to deal with it.

After half an hour.

An update announcement was issued, which immediately attracted the attention of a large number of players.

[Honghuang Studio: To thank you for your strong support, "PUBG Mobile: Battle Royale" will be updated online at 8 o'clock tonight, and new content will be launched. 】

[1. Added Snow Country map "Vikendi Snow Field". 】

【2. Open custom mode. 】

【3. A large number of TP appearances have been added. 】

【4. Expansion of types of firearms and supplies. 】

【5. New weather system. 】

【6、…】

A long row of updated content, like a depth bomb, suddenly exploded the player circle.

"Updated! It was updated so quickly!" "I just wanted to say that a map is a bit monotonous."

"Expansion of gun supplies, cool!"

"What is the appearance of this TP?"

"Fuck you, it even has a weather system!"

There were exclamations one after another, and they all clicked on the game to check it out.

As soon as 8 o'clock in the evening arrived, there was an additional update package of tens of gigabytes, and it was free, and it was not sold as a DLC!

"It's a loss, it's a loss, Hong Huang's blood loss."

With so much content, if it were other manufacturers, I am afraid that it would have been sold as DLC long ago. How could there be such a conscience?
Overjoyed, players who had just finished dinner poured into the game to experience new content.

Sure enough, as stated in the announcement, there was a brand new map, a circular island covered in snow.

After landing on the island, the weather will sometimes turn into sleet, even accompanied by blizzards, and the environmental fidelity has risen to a higher level.

Some people are looking at the newly added TP store.

I found that there are actually many fashion appearances that can be exchanged for game currency.

"Wow! This pan is so cool! I want to buy it!"

In the live broadcast room, Ouyang Xiao, who had just entered the game, exclaimed, and immediately took a fancy to the appearance of the frying pan in the store.

There are also other appearances such as rabbit headgear, camouflage guns, and cowboy hats, which can also be exchanged through TP, which is the game currency.

"Let's go, play a few rounds to earn enough TP first."

After finishing speaking, Ouyang Xiao directly started to match the single-player mode and entered the new map.

In the eyes, it is a frozen lake.

The players who are matched stand on the ice.

Just then.

She noticed a dozen people gathered in the center, lined up in what appeared to be a secret gathering.

But when she walked over, she suddenly laughed out loud.

Because as she approached, moving music gradually sounded on the public channel.

And the dozen or so people also suddenly moved, and followed the music to dance the exclusive dance of the Ax Gang that everyone is very familiar with.

"What is this, this is, the dance moves have been updated?"

Ouyang Xiao couldn't hold back anymore, these guys still know how to play.

How long ago has this been updated?

Seeing this, other players on the side also ran over to join in the fun.

As a result, after a while, the center of the ice surface turned into a scene of demons dancing wildly, and laughter continued to echo in the public channel.

at the same time.

In the live broadcast room on the other side, Old E was also yelling hard.

"Come on, come on, custom mode, the H power plant bicycle race, motorcycle long-distance running drug circle competition has started, if you want to come, sign up quickly!"

different from others.

As soon as Old E went online, he directly focused on the newly released custom mode and called fans to hold competitions.

But this game...

It's very unorthodox.

Through the custom mode, a lot of wonderful rules have been created.

Ride a bicycle on the circle platform at the top of the H power station, wait for the poisonous circle to come, and then run to the safe area together, glider sky battle...

All kinds of competitions are even more outrageous than trick shows.

But the audience still loves to watch this, the live broadcast room is very lively.

"I'm coming! Leave me a place!"

"Already on the way home, wait for me!"

"How can the mountain biking competition be without me?"

"No way, no way? No one is really caught up by the poison circle, right?"

"It's too sloppy, there are all kinds of broken rules, is Hong Huang's custom mode trying to laugh me to death?"

"It's a loss, this game 98 sold at a loss."

I thought that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds before the update would be outrageous enough.

Unexpectedly, it was even more outrageous after the update.

On the basis of the original, various small gameplays are added to make the game more playable.

finally.

It took only two months.

The sales volume of "PUBG Mobile" was unstoppable, and successfully broke into tens of millions of sales volume, causing a sensation on the whole network.

……

"Another game with tens of millions of sales!"

"Did Hong Huang take drugs?"

"Drugs are not so strong, are they?"

The major manufacturers were shocked. They would burn incense and pray to Buddha for just one game of this kind, but Honghuang released two in a row.

Including "Monster Hunter", which just broke the thousand mark some time ago, there are three models in total.

Does this keep people alive?

You must know that with the addition of the past two years and the exclusive console side, there are only over [-] games with tens of millions of sales.

Hong Huang took up three places, which is outrageous!
Let them all have to pay attention to it and hold a meeting to discuss this matter.

"Actually, after careful study, it is not difficult to find that every game in Honghuang basically invests the most money in publicity and release. For example, this "Jedi Survival" has an estimated research and development cost of 5 million yuan, and the publicity and competition are spent. Hundreds of millions of funds are more than twice the cost!"

"Why don't we also try to spend a lot of money on publicity? Organize e-sports?"

"To put it bluntly, who would dare to easily increase investment before the response of the game is confirmed? You are willing to be shareholders, and you are not willing!"

"Indeed, those guys don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles. It's better to count on them to make more investment with concept promotional videos."

"..."

In the end, the manufacturers were silent.

It is true that listed companies are better than listed companies. If they are short of money, they can open a project circle (cheat) to invest, but it depends on the face of investors and shareholders.

If you make money, you have to be sucked by those guys first.

There is not much left in my hands.

As for Hong Huang, a lonely and independent studio like this, it is his own as much as he earns.

In short, each has its own advantages.

Even if they are envious, it is impossible to transform.

"For the present plan, we can only bet on the next trend."

"Penguin and several other companies have sent people to talk about agents recently, focusing on the MMO category. There has been no major innovation for so many years, and they are probably holding back big moves!"
