Rebirth of the Internet: Starting from Games

Chapter 114 Heluo Studio

After a night, the storm stopped.

The two slept until 11 o'clock before waking up.

Chen Hao felt that his body was hollowed out and his waist was a little sore.

In the afternoon, the beach.

Chen Haozai, Pang Ban and Xu Pengkun were walking on the beach.

Let Xu Pengkun investigate the operating conditions of Xuhui Group, and let Lao Ban send someone to investigate Lin Xuhui's temperament and some information.

Since he chose Xiaoran, Chen Hao didn't want to escape the cause and effect on her. It never hurts to prepare in advance.

On the third day, the vacation in Sanya ended and everyone returned to the headquarters and got back on track.

Now the company has only one focus before the holidays, which is the launch of Ragnarok RO and Bubble Hall.

To this end, Chen Hao checked the preparation status of these two games.

There are still 5 days left before the press conference. Of course, in addition to announcing the two games, Chen Hao also assigned a mysterious task to the art team. This is the Easter egg he prepared for this press conference.

He spent the rest of the two days preparing the speech for the press conference.

So how to prepare?play games.

Let the engineer set up the two games Ragnarok and Bubble Hall within the company. He will try them out personally and then summarize the content of the rich speech.

In this press conference, he plans to focus on trial play. You will know if it is fun or not!
In 03, the number of ADSL users on the current network has grown to nearly 600 million households. Internet cafes are basically fully covered, so you can also download and watch some videos.

In fact, he had only heard of Ragnarok in his previous life and had never played this game. But when he played it, he discovered that it was quite unique.

Although the picture is far from what Chen Hao can discern, the 3D game background and 2D character modeling are still somewhat unique.

Medieval villages, forests where elves live, deserts exposed to the scorching sun, and Oriental science fiction-style villages, this is a fantasy continent.

In addition to the art style, immersive background music, rich gameplay, and cute pets, compared to Miracle, this game should be more popular among young people, especially girls.

There are two computers on Chen Hao's desk, one is used to play games, and its configuration is currently top-notch on the market, similar to the current I9+4090 configuration.

The right side is used for office work, and the configuration is normal for Sheila, which is just over [-] yuan.

So now he shoots the bow on the left and right, and plays the game on the left. When he feels something, he stops and thinks for a while, and then starts playing in the ppt on the right.

Just like this, the whole day was spent playing games and writing articles, and Chen Hao felt very fulfilled.

Life is more fulfilling at night.

The change that is visible to the naked eye is that when Lu Tao came to report his work, he looked at his boss holding a thermos cup with an expression that he had experienced, and could only remind him kindly and tactfully, "Boss, the work is never finished. You can go on for a long time. Let’s talk about it in the future. Pay more attention to rest and don’t work too hard. You may even see dark circles under your eyes from exhaustion.”

After Lu Tao went out, Chen Hao came to the mirror and rubbed his chin. Sure enough, he was a little depressed. After all, not everyone can be a man who lives seven days a week.

Looking back, he saw Lin Xiaoran secretly licking her lips at him, seducing him silently. Chen Hao couldn't help but sneered. This little goblin has become more and more rampant since the seal was released.

He pretended not to see it and quickly turned around to get started with today's work.

Recharge your batteries these days and fight again tomorrow.The other one is the Bubble Hall, which Chen Hao is very familiar with. He has been playing it since the Bomberman days.

Looking at the familiar and classic Q-version characters in it, more than half of them are female characters.

Chen Hao started playing a few games. Since there were no real players in it, only computers, he felt like a god in it.

The charm of this game lies in the unknown. Unknown props are exploded through bombs, and the characters' abilities are enhanced through props, such as the number of bombs, the power of bombs, and novel attack methods such as ricochet.

In addition, in terms of teamwork, if a teammate is hit by a bubble, he will only be surrounded by bubbles and will not end immediately, but will die after a period of time.

If teammates arrive early at this time, they will take the person down.

It's similar to the dying mode before the chicken dies.

Chen Hao got bored after playing for a while. The next day he also installed Bubble Hall on another computer and called Xiao Ran over. The young couple played the game together for personal benefit.

The Bubble Hall game is very easy to get started, and Lin Xiaoran can play it very well without any explanation in just a few minutes.

From time to time, I would hear some gaming tips from her, and Chen Hao would record them all.

At first, the two teamed up to fight against the computer, but the fun turned into a PK match between the two.

Lin Xiaoran, who was just starting out, was no match for Chen Hao. He was killed in an instant, leaving no trace behind.

"Hahaha~" Chen Hao pinched his waist and looked up to the sky, smiling very proudly. He smiled and saw Lin Xiaoran blinking her big eyes. She just looked at Chen Hao without saying anything. Chen Hao felt vaguely uneasy. The sound faded away.

Fuck, take jujube pills. Chen Hao quickly picked up the thermos cup and drank the wolfberry water to press the essence.

The day before the press conference, Xu Pengkun came over and brought the latest development, not about Xuhui Group, but about the Heluo Studio within Zhiguan Company.

Xu Pengkun handed over an investigation report.

Chen Hao looked at the information and found it in more detail. The investigation report showed that the success of "The Legend of Jin Yong" in 1995 greatly increased the confidence of Zhiguan Technology. In the same year, Heluo Studio was asked to develop a second game - " The development work of "The Legend of Martial Arts Heroes".

Different from the martial arts sandbox RPG "Jin Yong's Legend of Heroes", "The Legend of Wu Lin Heroes" is a martial arts development RPG. After several years of research and development, the game was released in August 2001. It was loved by players as soon as it was released. , sales exceeded 8 points, and revenue was in the millions.

Unfortunately, this is the darkest moment for domestic stand-alone games. Piracy is rampant. Stand-alone game manufacturers are basically in a state of steady loss and no profit. Even if players like them, their revenue cannot keep up with several years of R&D costs.

Less than a year after the release of "Legend of Martial Arts", Zhiguan Technology announced its withdrawal from the stand-alone game development industry.

After that, various game studios including Heluo were naturally "swept out".

Heluo Studio, which parted ways with Zhiguan, became independent under the leadership of its boss Xu Changlong and established Oriental Calculation Studio.

On June 2002, 6, the third part of the "Three Kingdoms" trilogy "The Legend of the Three Kingdoms" was released. This is another set of "The Legend of the Three Kingdoms" by Oriental Calculation Company after "The Legend of Jin Yong" and "The Legend of the Wulin". series of role-playing games.

It's a pity that after this game was launched, its reputation and sales were far inferior to the previous two works.

At present, Oriental Calculus Company cannot make ends meet and is struggling to support itself.

After reading the information, Chen Hao said to Xu Pengkun, "You first have preliminary contact with Xu Changlong and express our willingness to acquire. When you come back in a year, I will talk to him personally."
