Chatty Hollywood

The video game known as the Ninth Art is somewhat similar to the "predecessors of art" movies. It is the kind of industry that conforms to the 28th rule-good works make big money, and **** works lose money.

However, the two industries sometimes go a bit differently in judging whether a work is a good work.

In the film industry, the director himself and the starring creator of the crew think that a good movie is not necessarily a good movie, but more likely to be an author movie that most audiences cannot understand.

——This is also an important reason why the film industry wants to introduce the role of producer, who is relatively less involved in the film production process.

In contrast, the game industry’s criteria for judging good games are more idealistic——

After the finished product is produced, the people on the production team still like to play and are addicted to the games, which are often considered good games.

Just like Blizzard, which was once prominent in the PC gaming era, "products must be high-quality products", especially like this standard——

Every time they skip tickets for a game, one of the reasons given will always be "Our production team members accidentally indulged in playing their own games, and as a result they did not complete the pre-booked work plan"...

——Very shameless. While making the players helpless, they also continue to look forward to this game that has bounced twice...

Charlotte had seen enough such shameless excuses in his original time and space. He also understood that although there was a deliberate propaganda component in this, the truthfulness also existed——

You know, although video games are also called art, the production process is quite boring. Endless overtime and repeated adjustments and tests will allow the production team to understand the game from the code and data level to the bones and play it to the point.

If the average player watching a good game is like watching a beautiful beauty, then for the production team, they see this beauty through an X-ray machine.

——What you can see is nothing except the dense white bones.

In this case, if the production team still feels that their production team’s game is fun and is addicted to it, then it really shows that the game is fun.

After all, games are not like time-limited movies. They may mislead themselves during the screening due to subjective factors——

Even if you mislead yourself in the game, you will get an illusion if you play for a few more days! ! ! ! ! ! It will slowly disappear, and then the truth will come to light.

As a former otaku, he also tried to make small games, and Charlotte is quite familiar with this aspect.

Therefore, one of his criteria for the game department of the Ghost Party Studio is that he can enjoy playing games he made.

——This is not a forced request, but a criterion for judgment. Any game that meets this standard has the potential to become an explosive game.

In this regard, as the actual manager of the game department, Stern also agrees.

However, although he felt good about the previous games produced by the Ghost Party Studios, they did not reach the level of indulge, but now this "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" game of the same name has completely indulged Stern——

The first thing he does when he goes to work every day is to turn on the computer, then log in to the game that is in public beta, and start a day's sea trip.

——He doesn't particularly like being a pirate to rob others, but the feeling of fishing on the sea makes him feel particularly comfortable, and the special items that he will salvage from time to time make him even more happy.

Of course, the Ghost Party Studio does not support this kind of work. But the special nature of the work in the game department made them occasionally paddling righteous and confident. In addition, Stern was still the head of the game department, so Charlotte turned a blind eye to him.

Of course, the more important reason is that this online game of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" has already been tested in the United States and has begun to make substantial profits.

——This time, the game will be released earlier than the "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" movie, which not only borrows the heat of movie promotion, but also promotes the movie in disguise.

In this case, the game of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" even overwhelmed Blizzard's "World of Warcraft" for a while.

——Actually, because of Charlotte’s advance layout, Ghost Party Studio has studied 3D online game technology earlier, which has some advantages over other companies in the same period.

Charlotte, as a traverser, has a forward-looking vision of game design, which has saved them a lot of detours.

Coupled with the film and game linkage policy of the Ghost Party Studio, the publicity of their game is more powerful and more targeted.

——Simply put, when other people in the game industry are still making original themes stupidly, the Ghost Party Studio has already started IP games in advance...

As such, the works of other game companies in the same industry at this time are always crushed when faced with the works of the Ghost Party Studio.

Even Blizzard, which can be described as a deadly existence at the end of the PC game, is somewhat powerless in the face of the real and deadly force of the Ghost Party Studio——

At the end of last year, the online game of the same name, which was released at the same time as the movie "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", was launched at the same time as the movie "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King".

And this year's more refined, more diverse gameplay "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" open beta, making Blizzard even more difficult.

At this time, the player community of the "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" game is rapidly expanding, and some special bugs in the game are gradually emerging as the public beta progresses. In this case, as the director of the game department, Stern is daily Staring at the game online is actually good.

What's more, with the popular beta of the "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" game, it is not just Stern who is eyeing this game. At this time, many game operators in Europe and South America have come to the United States to find The Ghost Party Studio is discussing the introduction of the game, and there are people on the other side of the Pacific——

"It seems that we can receive softness for this game only by charging agency fees! As a producer~www.readwn.com~ I should be able to get a lot of money too!"

For a while, Shi Deen felt that the "money path" was great.

However, how to choose an agent, he has some headaches——

In some countries in North America and Western Europe where the Ghost Party Studios are relatively controllable and there are not too many restrictions, the Ghost Party Studios can go to battle in person.

However, in places such as Central Europe, Brazil, or the other side of the Pacific, agents are necessary for various reasons.

In this regard, Europe and other regions where the game industry has developed for some years are fortunate. As a veteran game player, Stearns has some understanding of them and can easily choose powerful agents for cooperation.

But the other side of the Pacific Ocean is more troublesome-

As the Internet industry has only just emerged for a few years, the game industry is just a place where it was just born. There are a lot of agents on the other side of the Pacific, and the bids are quite arrogant. This makes Stern, who doesn’t know about that side, have a headache... …
