Let you make games, you directly shoot blockbusters?.

Chapter 251 New project finalized, priceless blank paper
"Singularity Studio?"

Hong Huang, in the office.

Listening to Shen Shimu's report, Chen Lin tapped on the table lightly.

Every time it was struck, Shen Shimu's little heart beat violently, and he was extremely nervous.

After a while, Chen Lin's voice finally sounded:

"Okay, as long as the old man is having fun, it's only a few days anyway. As for the Singularity Studio, you can help me a little bit. I have worked hard on you during this time."

"It's not hard, it's not hard, then I'll go back to work first."

Shen Shimu's face showed joy, and he turned and left with a reply.

Chen Lin leaned back on the chair, shaking his head helplessly.

Ever since he came to this world, he has been dependent on the old man, and even his college fees are earned by the old man.

Now is the time to let him enjoy his happiness.

Think of this.

Chen Lin picked up the phone and called Lao Song and Lao Li.

Start to discuss the next operation plan.

"Now our AI database is on the right track, and the production cycle is shortened, which can save a lot of manpower. Do you have any plans for the future?"

Now that the rise of AI has eased the pressure on some technicians, it won't be long before all kinds of games are bound to explode.

Although they already have the strength comparable to big factories against capital, it is still too early to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

It is necessary to continue to expand Honghuang's influence and accumulate word of mouth.

"For the stand-alone side, we are still stable for the time being, so my suggestion is that we can make a new online game." Lao Song suggested.

The online game they can get their hands on is actually just "Dungeon and Warriors", which is still too weak compared to the stand-alone field.

Relying on this game alone is not enough to establish their influence in the online game market.

Since it is necessary to develop in an all-round way.

Naturally, one cannot favor one over another.

"I think this proposal is good." Lao Li on the side took up the conversation, "In the past year, the online game team has doubled the number of recruits, and it is indeed capable of operating the second online game."

"Besides, since the end of last year, several major companies have launched new online games, and the revenue is said to be very exaggerated. Several new companies have taken off directly due to the popularity."

Online games and stand-alone games are two different fields.

Since games such as Zhengtu pioneered the krypton gold gameplay a few years ago, the wild horse of online games has even broken free from the rein and rushed all the way.

But whoever makes games, who doesn't want to get involved.

The competition is much fiercer than in the stand-alone field.

Just like their "Dungeon and Fighter".

It has just gained a firm foothold in the horizontal action category, and no less than ten similar competing products have emerged.

For example, the famous Three Kingdoms, Zhanhun, Shushan Swordsman, etc. were all released last year, and I want to share a share with them.

As you can imagine, everything was cold.

The monthly revenue is simply unable to support the operation, so it can only go further and further on the road of krypton gold, preparing to make a wave of customs service and run away.

This situation is not uncommon.

"For every successful online game, there are piles of corpses under your feet." Lao Song couldn't help but sigh.

"So if you want to make online games, you must innovate the gameplay, otherwise it will be completely thankless to compete with those old-fashioned online games that have been in operation for several years."

Lao Li is a person who experienced the launch period of "Dungeon and Fighter", so he can naturally understand the difficulties at that time.

Just to open the server, almost half of Liming and Lixiao's manpower was mobilized to stabilize the situation.

If it is replaced by a weaker manufacturer.

I'm afraid it's already gone because of the server crash and various bugs. How can there be the glory of millions online today?

"Hmm... really need to think of a new way to play."

Chen Lin nodded, deeply touched.

Only those who have actually done and operated online games can know how deep the water is.

If you take it lightly, even a big factory may be folded in it.

"What are the most popular online games recently?"

"It should be Penguin's CF, Shengqu's Legend, the gorgeous Execution of Demons, Fantasy Westward Journey, etc., mainly focusing on gunfights and role-playing."

"It's worth noting that Penguin CF followed the zombie setting of Resident Evil last year and added a biochemical mode, which is more popular than the other models, and they seem to have plans to enter MMORPG."

"So the penguins want to dominate the family?"

Hearing what the two said, Chen Lin narrowed his eyes.

As someone who has experienced it, he is very aware of the disadvantages of a single family.

Say nothing else.

The fact that bad money drives out good money will set the entire online game industry back for many years.

"Since this is the case, let's make a decision. There are too many competing products in role-playing games. This time we will do gunfights!"

"Gunfights?"

Old Song and Li Qiqi stopped, and then fell into deep thought.

"We have Resident Evil as a word-of-mouth basis, so we can give it a try, but it is not recommended to follow the old path of CF."

"Yeah, other big manufacturers have imitated CF and made several similar competing products before. They wanted to compete with Penguin in the market, but they all lost. They have to think of a new way to attract players."

Gunfight games have been popular for so many years, and the gameplay that can be tapped has basically been tapped.

Even if there are occasional innovations, they are always the same, just changing some details, and it may not be popular.

Asking them to think of a new way to play is really a bit embarrassing for them, or they can only call people from the planning department over, and everyone will brainstorm and discuss together.

"What do you guys think of Battle Royale?"

Suddenly, Chen Lin spoke.

"Battle Royale?"

"What kind of game is this?"

The two looked suspicious.

Seeing their expressions, Chen Lin knew that there was no such thing as a battle royale in this world.

Immediately grab a pen and draw a circle on the A4 paper on your desk.

"What I mean is to directly ban the existing two-camp confrontation gameplay, and turn it into a single or multi-person team, randomly throwing them into the same area, and collecting equipment and supplies. Survival ambush gameplay until the last person is left."

"You mean, let several players fight each other in the same area?" Lao Song immediately understood the key point and asked in surprise.

"No, not a few, but 100."

"Hiss! 100??"

Old Li gasped: "Mr. Chen, you are not joking, are you? Even in the biochemical mode of CF, there are only 30 people at most. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if there were not enough people for half a day?"

"No, it's not a matter of embarrassment or not, the way to play it...is absolutely perfect!!"

When Lao Li is at home, he often plays gunfight games, so he is quite familiar with such games.

After being dazed, he woke up suddenly, his eyes fixed on the circles on the white paper.

"If you can really gather 100 people, so many people are crowded in one area at the same time, there will definitely be conflicts and frictions, scrambling for supplies. While killing the enemy, you can't reveal your position and guarantee to survive to the end."

"Out of 100 people, only one person can survive to the end, killing each other for supplies, this design is awesome!"

The more Lao Li went on, the more excited his voice became.

As if discovering a new continent, the originally closed field of vision opened up.

Old Song next to him was also amazed when he heard it, and felt suddenly enlightened.

All the while, they hit a dead end.

Thinking that a gunfight game should be a confrontation between two camps, or fighting on the battlefield, cleaning up monsters, thinking is completely restricted.

This is a cognitive difference.

It's like the ancients could never imagine how the iron sheet could fly into the sky.

But after Chen Lin made such a small call, they instantly came to their senses.

What's more, this gameplay can be applied to other types, which is definitely a new gameplay!
"I think this game has a lot to offer."

Lao Song took the lead and said: "However, there are still a few problems. For example, if the field is too large, players will disperse and it will not be conducive to competition. degree of influence and so on.”

He is worthy of being an old Jianghu in the field of games. Although he doesn't play many gunfight games, he still points out many design difficulties at a glance.

Because for players.

The most important thing in competitive games is fairness.

However, any unsatisfactory place may trigger a tide of retreat and even trigger a chain reaction.

Especially this brand-new gameplay where hundreds of people compete on the same stage.

Even more sloppy.

"Site size and initial location? This is simple."

Chen Lin touched his chin, then picked up a pen and drew a small circle inside the circle.

"Look, if we add a virus area on the periphery of the circle, the virus area will randomly shrink in one direction every once in a while, there is no need to poison the player directly, as long as the blood loss continues, this will allow the players to gather in the same direction Yet?"

"Wonderful!"

Lao Li leaned over to take a look, and exclaimed in admiration: "In this way, after the poison circle shrinks a few times, players will have to fight even if they don't want to. The time of each game is basically fixed. OK!"

Lao Song didn't speak.

But from his twinkling eyes, he could also see his amazement.

"What about the initial position? How to solve it, in a random way?" He asked again.

Random is good, but there is always an element of luck.

It's okay to be assigned to a place with plenty of supplies, but if it's assigned to a place where there is no Mao, the players will probably have to curse and reopen.

This practice of brushing the opening will seriously affect the game experience of others, and will greatly weaken the competitiveness of the game.

"Why is it random? We just let the players choose it or not?" Chen Lin asked rhetorically.

"Ah, let the players choose directly, a fool would choose a place with abundant supplies, right?" Lao Li said.

If it were him, he would definitely go straight to the arms warehouse at the beginning of the game.

"Then have you ever thought that other players think the same as you?" Chen Lin smiled.

As soon as these words came out, Lao Song's eyes moved slightly: "You mean, the investment risk is too high?"

"That's right, if you can think of this, other people can naturally think of it. When a group of people gather in one place, the death rate will be greatly increased. As long as you are not stupid, you will deliberately avoid these material points. If you can't die a few more times, you will understand." gone."

"I see."

The two suddenly realized when they heard the words.

I was shocked by Chen Lin's exquisite idea.

Then, Chen Lin drew several horizontal lines on the circle with a pen, and said again:

"And we can set up a few more material points in this area, large and small. At the beginning, all players take the same plane and enter the field from a random direction, and they can parachute to the designated area at any time."

"If you want to get more supplies, you have to face more competition. The choice is also the key to the outcome of the game, and it's all up to the players to choose."

The brand-new gameplay concept and design shocked the hearts of Lao Song and Lao Li, and their eyes were fixed on the blank paper.

If so, everything has a price.

The plain white paper in front of him is absolutely priceless, worth a thousand dollars!

Because it is very likely to bring a new gameplay and even a new direction to the entire game industry!

And they.

It is the only person who witnessed this historic critical moment with his own eyes and became the first to know!

After sitting there for a long time, Lao Li swallowed his saliva and asked, "Mr. Chen, what name do you plan to name this game?"

"Name? I just said it."

"The name of this game...is called "PUBG Mobile: Battle Royale"."

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds!

Lao Song and Lao Li were shocked.

In a daze, it seemed as if hundreds of people gathered in one place, struggling for survival and killing each other.
