The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 324 321. Online game plan

  "It's not just a soundtrack issue," Li Lanyun frowned and said, "Now, the hit feel of "God of War" is really not tuned. It has always been the core difficulty, and it has not been solved until now."

   "Hmm..." Cao Yang nodded.

  In fact, the main reason is that the stick's hitting feeling is not good. Who told Monkey King to use the Ruyi golden cudgel? The stick gives people the feeling of boredom.

  Heaviness is not too heavy, nor is it sharp, so the hit feel is the most difficult of all weapons to adjust.

   "But even if this is the case, we have to bite the bullet and adjust it. If the feel and shock of this game stick can't come out, then it doesn't need to be used." Cao Yang said.

"Um."

  Li Lanyun's heart tightened and felt unprecedented pressure.

  "God of War: Wukong" and "Gun Girl" were established projects at about the same time. Now "Gun Girl" has been launched to harvest results, and "God of War Wukong" is actually still a semi-finished product.

  Obviously the strength of the R&D team is similar, using the same engine and technology, but the development progress of "God of War" is really slow.

  It is conceivable that there is a big difference in the difficulty of debugging between these two games.

The shooting experience of "Gun Girl" can also find some more mature masterpieces for reference. After all, shooting games can be regarded as a relatively large category in the world. Omi people especially like this category of games, whether it is Half-Life or Battlefield, Call of Duty series, games can be made of very high quality, so the gun girl actually doesn't have that much pressure in terms of feel debugging.

But "God of War: Wukong" basically has no place to copy, even if you look at the martial arts movie of Xiangjiang, you will find that the stick is empty, but the damage is not as strong as you imagined, and it is not as good as the assassin's soul. The sharp double swords give you a feeling of thorny death.

  So it’s really difficult to make the stick feel.

  The whole team racked their brains for this and did not come up with a particularly good way.

  However, Cao Yang gave the order to die, and everyone can only follow it, and extend as much as possible to see if there are other paths to follow.

  Li Lanyun recorded this request and continued to sort out Bomi’s game content.

   "If you count the "Gears of War" produced by EPIC, our company has almost released one and a half new stand-alone games this year."

   Cao Yang laughed silently when he heard what he said, "This is definitely not counted. After all, EPIC itself is relatively independent. We just said that we have invested part of it, and we have no actual control."

   But for Bomi, the EPIC earned is the Bomi earned.

   is just a matter of how much you earn.

The "Gears of War" released by EPIC this time is really amazing. It directly refreshed the sales record of shooting games. Up to now, it has sold more than 6.8 million sets worldwide, which is considered to have broken the previous "Gears of War". "The highest record of 6 million.

  Following this momentum, it may not be possible to exceed 9 million by 2021.

   "Then we have no single-player games on sale so far this year." Li Lanyun said.

"Um."

  Cao Yang nodded.

  This is also the reason why Chinese people are reluctant to engage in stand-alone, especially stand-alone masterpieces. The investment cost is high, the development cycle is long, and it may not be possible to make more money from online games.

  If it were not for the support of the wide user base of the Ile game platform, the stand-alone market would have long since fallen.

Fortunately, the explosion of "Girls with Guns" continues the myth of domestic stand-alone games, allowing more domestic game development teams to see hope, so so far, more and more domestic games are on the AIR game platform. .

  ……

  "Then...about our company's online games," Li Lanyun continued to jump to the PPT, and a row of game names appeared on the next page.

   "In addition to maintaining the old games in the previous studios, there are also many new products that have been incubated."

  Cao Yang looked up.

  There are 5 items listed above:

  "Three Kingdoms online2", "Journey to the West", "Zhu Xian", "Flying Dragon Knights", "Great Voyage Online"

  In fact, it is understandable that the expansion of capital reproduction is like this. Anyway, if you make money, then continue to operate.

"The game "Three Kingdoms Online 2" is equivalent to the refurbished version of the Three Kingdoms online." Li Lanyun explained one by one, "Because the production year of the Three Kingdoms online is relatively long, now 4 years have passed, and many technologies have been iterated. Regardless of the picture style or quality, the Three Kingdoms online is a bit outdated, so we are going to make it again and replace it with new art resources, and then the name is Three Kingdoms online2, which will actually be used to replace the old Three Kingdoms online. Just like Xishan Ju's Jianwang series are the same."

   "Hmm." Cao Yang nodded.

He still agrees with this approach, because the game has its own life cycle. In fact, the Three Kingdoms Online has been in service for a long time, and players are also beginning to be lost. If this decline rate continues, it is expected that this game will be available in 2008. It's closed.

  It’s better to take advantage of the fact that there are still a large number of diehard fans in the game, while retaining the original gameplay, improve the graphics and quality.

"We are equivalent to replacing the art resources at that time, and the player's database will be fully preserved," Li Lanyun explained. "It's just that for business considerations, we will use the name of Three Kingdoms online2 at that time, so everyone will think it is a The new game will be more attractive."

  Cao Yang agrees with Li Lanyun’s idea. Human beings have a mentality that loves the new and dislikes the old. If you tell the players that this game is just a replacement of art resources on the basis of the original Three Kingdoms online, then everyone will think that this is not an old game?

Even if the old ship is refurbished, people still feel that it is an old ship in the subconscious. Therefore, many new players are not willing to try to play the old game. In this way, it is equivalent to that there are so many people in the player circle. Good role of injecting fresh blood.

   But directly changing to the name Three Kingdoms online2, it gives a completely different feeling. Players will think this is a new game, and young people will also want to try it.

   "No problem." Cao Yang nodded and said, "Has this game started? When is it expected to be completed?"

  "It has been launched," Li Lanyun said with a smile, "It will be completed in about two years, and it is expected that the internal test of file deletion will be launched in the first half of 2008."

"Um."

  In terms of life cycle, it is actually a little too late. The world is changing rapidly, and I don’t know what is going on in 2008.

   But if it is a game with feelings, it will probably be able to make a perfect transition to 2008, and then take over.

  Xishanju’s Jianwang series is a typical example. Now Jianwang 3 has been developed for several years. By the time it can be launched, it will probably be in 2008.

  Maybe it may not be available in 2008.

   "Yes." Cao Yang nodded, in fact, he was not particularly anxious.

""Journey to the West", this is a horizontal game," Li Lanyun said. "It is mainly a new game incubated internally by the West Journey studio group, but the specific gameplay is based on the arcade "Three Kingdoms". "

"Um?"

  Hearing this, Cao Yang's eyes suddenly lit up.

  The "Three Kingdoms" on the arcade machine is really too classic. The horizontal version of the game that was released in 1999, I don't know how many people were in their childhood.

  At least for the post-80s generation like Cao Yang, the War of the Three Kingdoms really accompanied him through the most wonderful period of his life.

   "Wait, pass the horizontal version?" Cao Yang frowned.

"Yes." Li Lanyun paused and silently observed the expression on Cao Yang's face. After seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, he added, "I don't think this category is available on the market yet. We want to make a horizontal 2D action category. Online games, and in this game, apart from the differences in combat methods from other MMOs, in terms of development, upgrades, and social interaction, they will learn from the current Fantasy Westward Journey, and take the mature development system and economic system. "

   "No...I don't have any doubts, just let it go."

   Cao Yang laughed dumbly, he was not because of anything else.

  It’s just that [the 2D online game with a horizontal version] reminded him of a particularly powerful game——

  DNF.

  Dungeons and Warriors, because of the pinyin of DNF, are affectionately called tainted milk powder by players.

  The DNF of the previous life was introduced from the stick by the Penguin company in 2008. There is no Penguin in this world, only Bomi, so DNF has not yet entered China.

  However, in fact, this game was born very early. In 2005, Cold Country Neople had already developed this product.

It’s just that in the previous life, the domestic agents were not very optimistic about it, so they made Penguin a big bargain. Who knew that after being represented by Penguin in 2008, this game actually exploded and became the three most popular games at the time. One of the online games, competing with World of Warcraft and Fantasy Westward Journey for the top three in the sales list.

  Poisoned milk powder players are all over the country, and novels with this theme are endless.

   One can imagine how powerful this game is to attract gold.

Thinking of this, Cao Yang said to Li Lanyun, "Brother Yun, although the horizontal version of the game is not available in China, as far as I know, there is already a game called Dungeon and Warrior in Cold Country. You can refer to it a little when you make it. it."

   "Well, okay." Li Lanyun recorded Boss Cao's words in his notebook.

However, Cao Yang thought for a while and rejected the idea just now, "Brother Yun, like this, our own "Journey to the West" will continue to be developed, but you can find someone to communicate with Bangziguo to see if you can get it. Exclusive agent for Dungeon and Warrior.

  In this way, we are equivalent to having two horizontal games, and because the style and themes are not the same, the audience will have a certain distinction, and we can occupy this market in advance.

  If I’m late, I’m afraid the Dungeon and Warriors will be signed away by others. "

   "Okay." Although I don't know why Boss Cao valued this game so much, Li Lanyun still recorded it seriously.

  Since the boss thinks this game is great, then it must have its own advantages.

  Speaking of which, if the game called "Dungeon and Warriors" is really successful, it will become the first non-self-developed game of Bomi.

  The boss attaches so much importance to it, it seems that this game is really not easy.

"The game "Zhu Xian" is an MMORPG game that we adapted using the copyright of the novel "Zhu Xian". It is also the target of the Xishan Jujian Wang series. At the same time, it integrates into the social and life system that is more mature than Fantasy Westward Journey, and makes some small innovations and In terms of changes, character skill design, and styling, we will make some new attempts."

  "Zhou Xian" is a novel by contemporary writer Xiao Ding.

  The book was published in Baodao, China in March 2003, and then after Bomi acquired Singularity Chinese Network last year, Zhu Xian was bought.

  So since last May, Xiao Ding’s "Zhu Xian" has been transferred to the Singularity Chinese website for serialization.

With the theme of "Heaven and earth are inhumane, and everything is a dog", this novel tells the story of the growth experience of Zhang Xiaofan, an ordinary teenager under the Qingyun Mountain. The whole novel is cleverly conceived and magnificent, opening a unique charm of the Oriental fairy tale. In the overhead world, the plot is ups and downs, the characters are bright, and the love, family, friendship and the magnificent struggle between good and evil and the battle of destiny are brought together. The writing is beautiful and the story is vivid.

  It is also called the "Three Wonders of the Internet" along with the novels "Journey of a Gone with the Wind" and "Legend of Little Soldiers".

With the support of Bomi, the current Singularity Chinese website requires money, money, technology, technology, and people. So it quickly buys, buys, and signs and buys many big-name authors. After more than a year At the time, Singularity Chinese.com has firmly occupied the leading position in the online literature industry.

  So this time Bomi and Bomi Literature's works are linked to development, it is also a matter of course.

Cao Yang fully agreed with Li Lanyun's decision.

  "Very good." Cao Yang said, "This game should be done well. If you encounter any problems you can't solve, please contact me in time.

  If it can be successful, it will be a very good thing for Bomi Games and Bomi Literature. "

  The linkage between games and literature can successfully open up channels for gamification monetization from literature IP. At the same time, it also conveys a very good news for the authors of Singularity Chinese website——

  Write a book at Singularity, not only can you earn subscription money, but at the same time, if the novel is adapted into an online game, you can also get more generous rewards.

  According to Cao Yang's estimation, if the Zhu Xian game is completed, the income to Xiao Ding will not be less than 2 million.

   also lays a solid foundation for the future growth of Singularity. Through money, good linkage and welfare compensation, more and more high-quality authors are attracted to Singularity to write books.

  Fiction is actually the cornerstone of real games and film and television. Only by providing authors with a good living soil can they cultivate better quality works, and thus be able to produce more games that are more critical than Assassin’s Soul.

  ……

"Flying Dragon Knights," Li Lanyun said with a smile, "This game is a project proposed by Lai Yuling of the King Studios group. In fact, after reading the plan, I found it very interesting and very cute. Maybe it can attract girls. Sex player."

  Li Lanyun explained to Cao Yang that the so-called Flying Dragon Knights is actually a multiplayer air combat MMO game.

  Different from ordinary games. In this game, all players must ride on the dragon's back to fight. By taming and cultivating various dragons, let them fly you to the sky to fight.

  The battle mode is a combination of World of Warcraft and a plane-fighting game.

  The big world is a Western primitive world view, and players are fighting against all kinds of strange magic dragons.

Players can raise monsters in the wild to increase their level, and they can also catch baby dragons in the wild to become their new mounts. Each player can raise many different dragons. At the same time, as long as you have money and leisure, you can raise dozens of different dragons. Type of battle dragon comes out.

  Then players can download a copy. The design mode of the copy refers to World of Warcraft to a certain extent, but because the core of the game is to hit a plane, there must be a big difference.

   Generally speaking, the style of the game itself is to follow the Q version route, so that the Flying Dragon Knights can attract more audiences, and it can also meet the needs of many female players.

  It can be said that this game is a bold attempt under the existing market environment.

  There is no product of the same type before this.

   "Very good." Cao Yang laughed.

  He was still a little worried that Lai Yuling could not be qualified for the position of the head of the Wangzhe studio group, because the girl was too young.

  Lai Yuling is a classmate of Ai Xiaomi, who was dragged into the pit by Ai Xiaomi to enter the Bomi company.

  When developing the Glory of Kings Prequel before, Lai Yuling cried a lot because the ending was too abusive and she did not dare to resist the boss.

  Now when he heard this creative case, Cao Yang really wanted to applaud her.

  It seems that in the past few years, Lai Yuling has grown a lot and has become quite mature and powerful.

   "If this game can be done well, it should be able to attract many players." Cao Yang gave a very high affirmation with a bright smile on his face.

  The big rock in Li Lanyun's heart finally fell to the ground.

"Finally, the game "The Great Era Online" is an online game that we cooperated with KOEI Glory Company. The main content is still MMORPG. It just adds elements of navigation, business and naval warfare. Players can In this game, build your own fleet and build your own ships. At the same time, you will buy and sell items around the world to make money on the price difference, so that your fleet will grow stronger."

  "The Great Sailing Era" series is a nautical adventure game produced by Japan's KOEI Koei Company. It was officially released in 1990. It is a single player game. The game background is in the period of great geographic discovery and the content is mainly nautical adventure.

  "The Great Sailing Era" series mostly have a greater degree of freedom of the game, allowing players not to be completely constrained by the task setting of the game, but can freely trade and raise funds in various cities. Players can improve their reputation through commercial trade, geographic adventure and warfare.

  This game has a high reputation all over the world, and it is really not easy to get the copyright of the great nautical era.

  To a certain extent, it also proves that Bomi’s influence and strength are impressive, and it can be favored by large companies like Guangrong in the island country.

Um……

   "Very good." Cao Yang said, "This time we cooperate with Guangrong, hoping to achieve good results. In the future, we will have more opportunities for cooperation with other large companies."

  However, the network requirements of this game are really quite high.

  Previous life Glorious wanted to make the Great Voyage Era an online game, so he launched the Great Voyage Era 5, but the result was not very satisfactory. The revenue of the game did not meet expectations. I don’t know if Bomi can do it this time.

  ……
