Game Dynasty

Chapter 35 What kind of game do you need?

"Oh..." Liu Xiang smiled and shook his head when he came back to his senses, "When I didn't make enough money, I don't think I'm ready to touch this market that people love and hate. 【】"

"Yes!" Xi Xiaoding sighed, "Although online games have great charm and temptation, e-sports also has incomparable advantages over online games. Forget it, let me tell you about the current planning progress."

"According to what you said, the planning team not only studied the current legends we operate, but also studied almost all Korean games that exist on the market, and compared them with European and American games."

"Unfortunately, it's not the game where I'm throwing my arms out of Korea. Even if it's the Legendary game we're currently operating, compared to European and American games, it's just... rubbish."

"go on."

"But now, Chinese players seem to need this rubbish." Xi Xiaoding smiled sadly, "The one-sided pursuit of upgrading and

The pleasure brought by k, ignorance of the rules of European and American games, the supremacy of personal strength, and eagerness for quick success are all the current performances of Chinese players.Sadly, it's the South Korean tour that gets this right. "

"Speaking of which, I have to admire your gaze. Even, I really doubt whether you have the number of legendary prophets." Looking at Liu Xiang, Xi Xiaoding sighed, "If we still follow the gamification of Europe and the United States, we The game made will definitely hit the streets.”

"Hey..." Liu Xiang shrugged, "Get to the point."

"The background of the story is still a fictional magical world. There are four types of occupations, including Warrior, Mage, Taoist and Assassin."

"Under the pressure of other people in the planning department, we gave up the way of free allocation of points, and instead let the system automatically allocate points. The skill book and equipment system refer to the legendary Diablo system, but add the equipment upgrade element. When the upgrade reaches a certain level, the equipment It will produce beautiful light and shadow effects."

"Mission system... We have referred to most of the game systems including gold, and decided to give up the overly complicated and lengthy missions, and instead take the simple route of killing monsters and running away, and the rewards are also changed to reward experience points and equipment and These tasks such as money will not be too much, and simple."

"As for the skills...we haven't figured it out yet." Xi Xiaoding jumped onto the desk and looked at Liu Xiang. "But the most important issue right now is the engine! The game engine!"

Liu Xiang sneered: "Isn't it over after developing one? You are so talented..."

"I am engaged in game development, not engine development! There is a fundamental difference between the two!" After the rant, Xi Xiaoding drank water angrily, "But I am an all-rounder... It doesn't take much to build a 2 engine time..."

"But if you ask me to get the third engine in the future... I'd rather kick you down from the 3th floor!"

"What? Not confident?" Liu Xiang looked at Xi Xiaoding and smiled.

After looking at Liu Xiang for a long time, Xi Xiaoding sighed inexplicably.

"Brother, do you really understand games? Or is your understanding of games only limited to the level of Fatty Zeng?"

"I warn you, don't keep talking about me. What I do is market wide!" Fatty Zeng finally became angry, "I want players to like it! It's not 23 or single cylinder and double cylinder!"

Also staring at Xi Xiaoding for a long time, Liu Xiang also sighed.This sigh made Xi Xiaoding and Fatty Zeng feel puzzled at the same time.

As Xi Xiaoding said, the 2 engine is so simple that Liu Xiang is not prepared to spend money on it!Because even after spending money and not too much money to buy it, you still need to learn, and you will be affected by copyright and many other things... This is undoubtedly an impossible choice for Liu Xiang, who is determined to become the No. 1 in the game industry in China.

But 3...

Leaning on Xi Xiaoding's boss chair, which is as comfortable as the general manager's office, Liu Xiang put his head in his hands, and his eyes swept over Fatty Zeng and Xi Xiaoding...

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who's going to buy other people's stuff and get pissed off by them?"

Xi Xiaoding and Fatty Zeng shook their heads at the same time.

"Although there is no mainstream 3 engine applied to the game, but in the future, this must be a trend. I even bet that there are already many companies developing 3 series games! Xi Xiaoding, do you think so?"

After thinking for a moment, Xi Xiaoding nodded.

"But developing a 3rd game is not as simple as a 2nd game. I believe it will be at least a year before they hit the market, right?"

Xi Xiaoding nodded again.

"Fatty, from your point of view, won't 3You become popular in Congress right from the start?"

"No!" Fatty Zeng said firmly without even shaking his head. "Three games will be subject to many constraints. When the hardware can't keep up, the popularity of three games will only suffer setbacks."

"Let's analyze the current situation in the domestic market. Most of the current machines are still in the Celeron era. Even the new ones are only the second-generation Celeron. current game."

"According to the model of a prosperous bar recovering the cost within one year, and gradually updating the computer in the second year, even after two years, the configuration of the old bars on the market should be almost at the level of Pentium and Duron." After thinking about it, Liu Xiang added, "To be precise, it's Sai Yang and Duron."

"As for the graphics card, the level of not being able to jump out of tnt2 may be a little higher, but it's not too outrageous." Liu Xiang smiled, "And this kind of configuration will continue until the end of 2003, when the hardware will keep up with the needs of the game. "

"Of course, one more thing to consider during this period is the popularity of personal computer users. There is no doubt that the configuration of individual users is generally a higher level than that of bars. But according to the forecast of authoritative departments, the popularity of personal computers in China happened to be from 2003 to [-]. Start at the end of the year."

"Where did you get these materials?" Seeing Liu Xiang's almost watertight analysis, Xi Xiaoding was stunned.

He smiled, but Liu Xiang didn't answer him, "That is to say, any 2004rd game that was put into the national game market before 3 will encounter the Waterloo of love. This is only analyzed from the hardware, not from the habits of players."

"For example, people who are used to playing 2 games will get dizzy when playing s, this also exists in the game." Liu Xiang continued to laugh.

"You mean, we still need to develop the 3rd engine by ourselves?" Xi Xiaoding finally understood Liu Xiang's intention, "I frankly, if we develop it ourselves, it is completely possible to catch up with the 3rd game trend in three years' time, but we need more. R & D personnel."

Liu Xiang nodded, "This is the plan. Now you can start working on the 2-engine. After the engine is developed, a group of people will continue to work on the 3-engine research and development."

Seeing that Xi Xiaoding was about to speak again, Liu Xiang quickly waved his hands, "I know what you're talking about! Next year, I'll bring you a 3 development team back!"

"...Is it cheating again?"
