Shenhao makes a game

Chapter 10 The cheating game platform

The next day, Mu Chen didn't know about his mother's decision to send him to an art university so that he could find a girlfriend.

He got up wobbly, thought about it as if he had nothing to do today, and then thought about where to spend his time.

Hmm~ First go to the garage to choose a car. The Shadow Dragon 3 was sent to the original factory for repairs, and it will take two months before it can be shipped back.

Coming to the huge but very empty garage, there are only four cars parked there. In Mu Chen's view, the number of cars is seriously inconsistent with the size of the garage.

Hmm~ It seems that if I have the opportunity to buy a few more cars in the future, I will save them. Otherwise, if I want to change cars often, I won’t be able to choose, which is uncomfortable ╯﹏╰.

Mu Chen looked at the empty garage and thought.

Just like that, Mu Chen randomly chose a car that looked pleasing to the eye and drove out.

However, Mu Chen, who drove around aimlessly for a long time, still felt too bored, so he called Liu Jin.

"Old Liu, are you and Lao Hu at the hotel? Yes! Then I'll come over and have a look..." After speaking, he went straight to the hotel where Liu Jin was staying.

As for why these two big men live in a hotel and not somewhere else.

Well, they're not that philosophical relationship either.

The main reason is that Liu Jin and Hu Feng lived outside the Fifth Ring Road of the Imperial Capital, and the rich and wealthy Young Master Mu opened a luxury suite for them in the hotel for a month in order to make it easier to talk to them. The two of them are here to guide those new employees in the follow-up development of CS...

So, from the current point of view, the office location of Dawn Entertainment is true... Strange!The boss, Mu Chen, works at home or on the bed at home, the two company executives (let's say it) work in the hotel, and the rest of the employees also work at their homes.

Well, a very good and friendly corporate culture.

Half an hour later, Muchen saw Liu Jin waiting at the hotel entrance.

"Where's Hu?" Mu Chen saw that Liu Jin was alone.

Liu Jin: "I'm giving online guidance to those new employees~ Many of them can get started today."

Hearing this, Muchen smiled again and said, "How is it? Now it seems that I told you to recruit all those people to the company yesterday, how wise it is!"

Liu Jin: "Hehe...that's right, Young Master Mu is wise and powerful~"

You are the boss, just be happy.

"Ahaha, I think so too!" Mu Chen first smiled triumphantly, then walked into the hotel and said, "Let's go, go up and have a look, I have some questions to ask you by the way~"

In the room, Mu Chen saw that Hu Feng was still on the phone, so he walked to the other side with Liu Jin, and asked, "Old Liu, according to the current situation, how long will it take to make the finished product of CS?"

Hearing Mu Chen's question, Liu Jin patted his chest and said, "Young Master Mu, judging from the speed at which they got started, it should take half a month~"

Mu Chen was surprised: "Half a month?! So fast!?"

Liu Jin was a little embarrassed: "Hehe, Mr. Mu, what I'm talking about is only the initial version, because now we only need to add some maps, modes, characters, and gun models on the basis of our original ones, and then put the previous version Changing the LAN online battle to the network online battle can make the original version we imagined better."

Then he asked Mu Chen: "Master Mu, what I'm thinking is, should we release this version first, see how the player community responds, and then make further adjustments, do you think it's okay?"

"It's okay, wait until it's online and see the situation." After finishing speaking, Mu Chen remembered what he wanted to say to Liu Jin before, and said, "By the way, remember to make a distribution platform when the time comes, I don't want us to work hard on our own. The hard-working game finally made those publishers cheaper!"

Speaking of publishers in this world, Mu Chen felt a stomach ache.

Because now he has changed from a game player to a game practitioner, so he has to find out the relevant news. He went to check which game distribution platforms are here, and their share ratio, hehe...

There are quite a few platforms, in Mu Chen's view, there are two relatively large ones, and there are many other small and medium-sized ones.

However, these platforms' share of a game almost caught Mu Chen's attention.

Thirty-seven, four-six, fifty-five (manually funny)... These are the three gradients that games in this world are divided into. The producer of the game only gets [-]% for the most, while the least gets only a terrifying [-]%.

What a concept!This means that you personally or your team have worked hard for months, a year, or even years to make games, and these platforms will take at least half of the money sold!
Moreover, the time and money cost of making the game have not been counted, if these are included... Mu Chen felt that if he really put the game on these platforms, he would be so heartbroken that he couldn't fuxi.

To give another intuitive example, take the largest PC game distribution platform in Muchen's previous life--Steam.In the beginning, all games were divided into 30% and 70% of the share, but it was the opposite of the one here, the platform only took [-]%, and the producer [-]%.

What Mu Chen thought was even more annoying was that in order to compete with Blizzard's Battle.net, EA's Origin, Ubisoft's Uplay, etc., Steam also re-adjusted the division plan, which is also divided into three gradients.as follows:
The first tier, for games with less than US$1000 million in revenue, the rake ratio is still 30%;

The second tier, if the income exceeds 1000 million US dollars (less than 5000 million US dollars), the proportion of the excess part is 25%;

In the third tier, those whose income exceeds US$5000 million, the percentage of the excess is 20%.

Although steam does this, it is also to attract more games and earn more money.However, while it is making money, the game producer will also increase its revenue, which can be said to be a win-win situation.

However, for the game distribution platforms in this world, win-win, hehe~ does not exist, the game will not be made, and those game manufacturers are obedient, so they can only rely on fierce commissions to maintain their lives.

That's why Mu Chen thought of asking Liu Jin to start making a game platform exclusively for Shuguang Entertainment, not to mention making it a big one, but at least he doesn't have to look at other people's opinions.

Besides, Suguang Entertainment doesn't only make CS games, there are so many good games in Mu Chen's mind, it's impossible for them to be cheaper than others, right?

"Young Master Mu, but...even if we want to create our own platform, we have to wait for our CS to be released first!" Liu Jin looked at Mu Chen worriedly.

"Hehe, Lao Liu, don't worry about the release, Shanren has his own plan. When the time comes, you guys have made the game, and I will naturally solve it. Don't worry, it's guaranteed!" Mu Chen comforted with a face of indifference. Liu Jin.

Liu Jin: "Alright then, let me explain~"

Mu Chen: "Yeah, let's go!"
