After processing the remaining emails one by one, Chen Xin had time to focus on the proposal provided by the game department.

Compared with the first planning case, the high-level game planning plan given by the Cybertron Digital Game Planning Department this time is much more.

However, the focus is basically on the field of online games, and there is no such project as mobile games. The only stand-alone game is to suggest that the company develop a live football game similar to FIFA and PES.

Although Chen Xin himself is a fan, and he likes to play the football game Gangbang, Chen Xin passed it immediately.

After all, the audience of this type of game is relatively concentrated. At present, the market has been occupied by Konami's PES live football series and EA's Fifa series. The user loyalty is very high, and the characteristics are too single. If you want to seize the market at once It is not easy to come here.

What's more, Cybertron Digital is destined to make a difference in the game market in the future, so games of this type that tend to give people a fixed impression are not suitable as the pioneering work of Cybertron Digital, maybe wait for the Cybertron Digital game I will try it only after I grow up.

As for the remaining OL online game planning projects, they are basically concentrated in the fields of martial arts, fairy tales, magic, etc., and the level is not bad.

The only shortcoming is that the game planners of Cybertron Digital underestimated the technical level of Chen Xin and Gang Yan. These plans seem to be too conservative. Except for the picture and quality, other content is the same as those mainstream games that are currently popular in the market. There is not much difference in the online game, and it is not even comparable to the martial arts online game "Zhen Wu Continent" proposed last time, and there are not many eye-catching settings.

Chen Xin thought about it, and saved these plans in the computer. Some of the settings in it may be used as a reference in future game production, but they are of little use to Chen Xin at present.

If Wu Jun hadn't mentioned the game department's plan before, Chen Xin might not have thought of making games so quickly, but after he reminded him, some ideas in Chen Xin's mind came out.

The amount of investment in the Science Fiction Film and Television City is too huge, it is impossible for Chen Xin to rely on the arms trade with China[***] to maintain expenses.The money came from an improper source, and it would take at least a few months to transfer it to the account of the Star Ring Company through a series of money laundering methods by Steel Coin, and there are many restrictions on its use.

However, investment methods like movies will take at least several months from filming to release, and Chen Xin plans to cast "The Wandering Earth", which will require hundreds of millions of funds, so Chen Xin urgently needs to develop For new sources of income, engage in some short-term projects to raise funds, and the game market is a very good choice.

Chen Xin thought about it for a while, then an idea popped up in his mind, he turned his head and shouted in the direction of the room: "Gangbi, what do you think about the two of us working together to develop a stand-alone machine?"

There was a clanging sound in the room, and Gang Beng quickly poked his head out from the door, flashing his electronic eyes and said, "Old Dou, why do you suddenly want to play stand-alone games? Why don't you make online games?"

Chen Xindao: "The cost of a stand-alone computer is low. You need to buy a server for online games, and you have to pay a huge amount for the electricity bill every month. It's not worth it."

Gang Bian wondered: "Isn't there a Starstone computer?"

Chen Xindao: "Do you still want to wait for the relevant department to investigate if you don't buy a server for online games?"

"Oh!" Gang Bian nodded half-understanding.

However, Chen Xin engaged in stand-alone games not only because of these reasons, but also because of his obsession with domestic stand-alone games.

Chen Xin is also a pseudo-otaku, and he is no stranger to single-player games. He himself is a stand-alone game lover and played many games when he was a student.From the No.1 shooting games "Call of Duty" and "Battlefield" series to role-playing games "Dragon Age" and "The Elder Scrolls" to adventure games "Tomb Raider" and "Prince of Persia", basically It's his dish.

As for domestic stand-alone games, besides the "Sword" series back then, Chen Xin didn't know much about other games such as "Qin Shang" and "Sword and Sword" earlier.

After graduating from university, many students joined some game companies to do research and development. They also discussed the problems faced by domestic stand-alone games with each other, so they are not unfamiliar with the current domestic game market.

In recent years, many stand-alone game manufacturers in China have experienced the OL (online game) craze. First of all, OL games make money quickly, and there is no need to worry about the impact of piracy. .

Thinking about it makes people feel bleak. From thousands of domestic stand-alone works a few years ago, there are only a few pitiful ones left today, and the quality is not satisfactory.

Although this transformation is more due to the persecution of players, the cut-off of excellent stand-alone players has also chilled many players who like stand-alone.

Think about the past, "Sword of Heaven", "Xuanyuan Sword", "Monopoly", "Fantasy Three Kingdoms", etc. How many companies in China still insist on developing stand-alone games?

And in the long run, the prospect of domestic stand-alone games is still not optimistic.

With fewer works, it is even harder to find good works, and players' feelings for stand-alone games are slowly cooling down.

Chen Xin still clearly remembers the touch of Immortal Sword. How many stand-alone machines can give players such a touch?

Of course, there are many reasons for the decline of domestic stand-alone machines.

First, less profit, too much piracy!Many games have been pirated all over the streets within a few days after they were made, and the genuine ones cannot be sold!Even if the sales of the original version arrive, the profit will be divided into half by the seller, and there will be very little money in the hands of the game developer!Without profits, how much enthusiasm can investors have?Therefore, before the piracy problem is solved, it is very difficult for domestic stand-alone games to find a way out with the current profit model.

Second, the lack of creativity, the quality is not high!Many games are in the same mode, fighting monsters and leveling up the plot.

In fact, domestic players do not have high requirements for domestic stand-alone machines. Even if the picture quality is not good, they can win with the plot.The best at this point should be "Legend of Sword and Fairy". After so many years, "Legend of Sword" has not made much progress on the screen. It relies entirely on the plot to gather a group of loyal supporters. The key to the continuous development of this game.

As a typical example, "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" just goes through the plot completely, and the money in it can't even be used!When these shoddy works flood the market, one can imagine the reputation of domestic stand-alone machines in the minds of players.

Third, disorderly competition!Back then when the stand-alone game market was booming, there were more than one game company on the market!And those companies are mixed, and the quality of the games varies greatly. It is often difficult for players to judge the quality of a game before they have played a game. This also makes a lot of profits from excellent games!

These are all important reasons for the gradual decline of domestic stand-alone games, but it is not difficult for Chen Xin.

With Steel Coin, there is no need to worry about the quality of the game screen. As for piracy, let's wait until the cracking organization can figure out the encryption method of Steel Box.

Of course, Chen Xin wouldn't be that exaggerated. Let Gang Bian come up with an invincible encryption method to find out for himself. Apart from attracting the attention of relevant departments, it won't do much good.

He is going to ask Steel Coin to produce an additional source code. Even if those pirate organizations crack it, they will get an incomplete version of the game code, which is very poor in playability. In this way, the living space of pirated versions will not be high.

In addition, he plans to take the online sales route. When the time comes, he will directly set up an official website to issue verification codes. After players download the game, they will have no other way but to purchase verification codes to activate.In this way, without the profit sharing of channel sellers, profits can also be guaranteed.

However, the only trouble now is the content of the game.

Just when Chen Xin was still considering whether to go to the company to find an employee in the game department to do a stand-alone plan, the phone rang. Chen Xin picked up the phone and was slightly taken aback. The caller was an unfamiliar number. Chen Xin directly Pressing answer, Mu Yunshan's cold voice sounded on the other end of the phone: "The film has been negotiated, "Country Teacher" will be licensed to Gaumont Company for free distribution..."
