Chapter 156 Dota and Lava

"Bet. Hahaha, what can Mr. Zhang give me? What do you want from me?" Mo Yu said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Mr. Zhang really doesn't have anything that I value."

Counting down, Zhang Yiming has everything he has.

money?
ability?

People?

Maybe the few contacts in the industry that have been in the industry for decades can be of some use.

As for money?His net worth is definitely hundreds of times that of Zhang Yiming; ability?There is no shortage of talented people in Moyu Company, and the most indispensable thing in the country is people. Who can't recruit rich people?
"Mr. Mo is humiliating me?" Zhang Yiming's expression darkened.

Mo Yu said sincerely: "No, no, it's not humiliation, but I really can't think of anything Mr. Zhang can give me. Forget it, the bet just now was really thoughtless, and Mr. Zhang acted as if he was talking too fast for a while. I didn't say it."

Where did Zhang Yiming get this stimulation, and immediately confronted each other: "Could it be that Mr. Mo must think that I will lose? This bet, on the contrary, I can't think of what I can get from Mr. Mo."

Hearing this, Mo Yu spread his hands out, "Then how about treating it as if the bet didn't exist?"

"No!" But Zhang Yiming flatly refused: "Since I have spoken, there is no reason to go back on my word. You won. At the price of loyalty, I will resign from Tianxing immediately, come to work for free, sign a lifetime employment contract, and never give up. , work until retirement, and never do anything that will betray your interests, Mr. Mo."

"I won, what can President Mo give me?"

loyalty?

Mo Yu was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help nodding his head and said to himself: "It's indeed a good bargaining chip!"

Although everything is available, it is not so easy to buy loyalty in modern society, and it is not in the novel. Now that Zhang Yiming is paying the price of loyalty, Mo Yu's heart is moved.

With loyalty as a guarantee, many of Zhang Yiming's qualities seem very precious.

And even if Zhang Yiming betrayed, it didn't matter, he couldn't suffer much.

"Since you made the price, I'll make a price too!"

"I have read about your resume. Before Tianxing, I also started a business, but the game was acquired in the end, and you also became the chief designer of Tianxing, responsible for coordinating all the work of game development and operation."

"If I lose, then I will give you, Mr. Zhang, all the design ideas of a game that can compete with "God and God", but this game can only be owned by you, and any form of transfer is prohibited."

"So, it should be enough to match Mr. Zhang's chips."

LOL focuses on operation, skills, and ease of use; DOTA focuses on the overall situation and awareness. The integration of the two games must have one party as the leader.

After several version updates, "Gods and Gods" finally became the shape of LOL. Many elements borrowed from DOTA have been deleted. Now, except for dodge and a few heroes and equipment names, it is completely It has nothing to do with DOTA.

Under the pressure of LOL, DOTA in the previous life gradually declined, but the competitions held were no worse than LOL, and even the prize money was even higher.

Mo Yu didn't want to give up DOTA.

Thinking that the bet is almost certain to win, if Zhang Yiming can play for him, then it would be great if the DOTA project is entrusted to him.

"How about it?"

Mo Yu asked with great interest.

Zhang Yiming clenched his fists and took a deep breath: "Mr. Mo is really confident. Besides "God and God", he also has another game in his hands. No wonder he dared to say that making MOBA games will be invincible within 20 years!"

He secretly sighed in his heart.

This trip really came at the right time. To get such a big news from Mo Yu's mouth, it was a huge profit.

He thinks that the gambling contract is too difficult, and it is almost impossible for Mo Yu to complete it. If he can get his design ideas for this type of game from Mo Yu, the founder of MOBA, then even if he does not transfer it, he can learn from it. "reformed, and then confronted "God and God"!
"I really want to see what kind of game can make you so proud. I accept this bet!"

"it is good!"

Mo Yu got up and applauded, and then walked in front of Zhang Yiming: "The bet is established. I believe that with your character, you will not deny it. You will not sign the contract in black and white, so as not to be true. I just hope that Mr. Zhang will not break his promise when the time comes." !"

"Never break your word!"

Send Zhang Yiming away, and Mo Yu goes home after get off work.

At this time, the place he lived in was no longer the small room he had just traveled through, but had already changed to another large flat in the urban area with a few hundred square meters.

The developer of this community happens to be Jingzhou Construction Engineering.

Since the land was acquired relatively early, the community was also built very early. The location is located in a bustling and lively place in Jingzhou, but the community is quiet and secluded, quite a feeling of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle.

Since time travel, he also went back last Spring Festival. At that time, "Gods and Gods" was not very popular, and his parents only knew that he had started a game company, but how big he was and what kind of achievements he had achieved was unknown. I don't know.

Except for telephone communication, the parents don't know.

It just so happens that the house he lives in now is very big. Apart from the regular cleaning staff who come to clean the house, he is the only one. He is too lonely. He plans to take his parents over when he returns to his hometown during the Chinese New Year. By the way, he will let his parents see what he has achieved achievement.

Go to the study.

Mo Yu turned on the computer and logged into the official platform.

Compared with before, the platform at this time has a dedicated game page - MOBA.

After entering, there are more than 20 MOBA games in it, but the download volume is not too high. The number one is "God and God", and the download volume exceeds the sum of all other MOBA games!
The second is the popular online game rankings on the homepage.

This list will be updated every half a month. The official has the data of all the games on the platform. According to these data, there will be no mistakes at all.

At present, "God and God" has been firmly seated in the third place.

The top one is "World of Warcraft", and the other is "Fantasy Westward Journey".

The two giants have suppressed the list for several years since their birth, and there has been no game that can hold a candle to it. Now, only "God and God" has the best chance.

Such dazzling data is also the main reason why many major manufacturers have followed suit. On the contrary, it is the e-sports competition that he has been vigorously promoting. Those major manufacturers seem to have no response so far, except for Zhang Yiming.

"Let you stay for a while longer, the throne will change hands in a short time!"

Mo Yu muttered to himself, then looked away, found the search box above, and entered "race hegemony".

Soon, the search result interface popped up.

Ranked first is "Race for Hegemony", produced by Lava Games, Mo Yu clicked the mouse to enter the game's homepage.

The page shows more detailed data about "Race Hegemony".

On the left are some real machine demonstration screens, beautiful screenshots of the game, and no CG videos.

On the right side are player ratings, game introduction, genre, download data, and sales unit price.

Further down is the player comments.

"The score is 6.8, the unit price is 18 yuan (8.8% off in the golden autumn promotion!), and the number of downloads is 18965."

Mo Yu looked at the data of "Race for Hegemony", and then scrolled down to browse the player's comments.

"Very rubbish, managed to waste an hour of my time, refunded!"

"Bad review!"

"Many places are copying World of Warcraft, it is recommended to take it off the shelves!"

"The gameplay is unique, the content is simple, the picture is rough, and needs to be improved!"

"The content is too little, like a semi-finished product, how can the designer have the nerve to pass it on?"

"Sure enough, as I expected, the sales data is very poor, less than [-] yuan, and the platform even included it in the golden autumn promotion package. For a new game that has been on the shelves for less than three months, it is simply a hit. Face!"

"Looking at the comment section, most of them are bad reviews, and there are very few positive reviews. The few pertinent reviews also say that the content is too small, plagiarism is suspected, and the picture is rough."

"It seems that Chen Rucheng's final fight did not succeed!"

Mo Yu shook his head secretly.

After returning from CJ, he was also consciously paying attention to the news from the lava side.

During the Jingzhou Cup, "Race Hegemony" was finally launched.

Mo Yu bought and downloaded the same day.

The content of the game is basically the same as what was displayed at the CJ exhibition. Based on what we learned at the time, it is obvious that Chen Rucheng was unwilling to go bankrupt, and finally fought hard, trying to create a miracle and earn a sum of money to support the company again.

As for the results are obvious.

The sales volume was bleak, and the response from players was generally not good. Even as a new game, the platform actually reduced the price for promotion, and after the promotion, it was only less than 2 yuan. Obviously, Chen Rucheng's last-ditch effort failed.

After deducting the commission from the platform, the revenue brought by "Race for Hegemony" to Lava may only be able to pay the wages of the employees. As for remaking the entire game like Mo Yu?

Do not make jokes!
Chen Rucheng is not a time traveler!
"After all, it is a game with scarce content and rough picture quality. Even the most critical race settings are borrowed from other games. Even if the gameplay is unique, it is impossible to be loved by players."

"This situation is very similar to the previous one. It's all based on the gameplay, but only the gameplay!"

"I believe that by this time, Chen Rucheng should have reached the brink of bankruptcy, entered a desperate situation, and failed in his last effort. He should also recognize the reality."

"I just don't know why I didn't contact me, did I forget?"

Mo Yu frowned and thought.

He definitely wants to make RTS games, and Chen Rucheng is his favorite candidate.

He originally thought that Chen Rucheng would contact him in the near future to discuss the merging of lava into Moyu, but he never expected a call.

"Forget it, since he is a valued talent, if he doesn't come to me, then I will give him one last chance!"

"If you can't do something, then don't blame me for being merciless and do it yourself!"

Mo Yu muttered to himself, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

mirage.

Lava Studio.

At this time, the lava studio was completely empty. There was no one in the office area, and the lights were not turned on. The entire area was illuminated by the sunlight from the window.

The workstation is also empty, neat and tidy, without any other things.

The computers that cost a lot of money to configure are all turned off, and some are even covered with dust. On a few desks, a few green plants are close to withering because no one has changed the water and taken care of them.

In the whole company, only the office with the general manager hanging inside is still lit, and there are faint discussions coming from it.

"Acheng, give up, there is no chance!"

"We failed, and "Race of Hegemony" also failed!"
