Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

The next day, Chen Xu discussed with the person in charge of the game area on the Shark TV platform about the "Warcraft" e-sports event.

Shark TV itself also has subsidiaries in this area, plus it is also the largest live broadcast platform in China, so this part is also relatively familiar.

This time it was also because I took a fancy to the popularity of "Warcraft".

Although it is not clear how high the sales of "Warcraft" are today, the official game platform, which has always dominated the list and has a very high player rating, proves that this game has a large player base.

Although he is currently the largest live broadcast platform in China, there are also some rising stars on the platform.

So in addition to the game anchor, new content, such as e-sports, Shark TV has also been testing the waters.

The popularity of "Warcraft" this time also makes Shark TV feel that it is an opportunity, especially since this is an RTS with competitive attributes.

As for Chen Xu's words, he is very clear about the potential of "Warcraft", so he is also very confident when negotiating with Shark TV.

There are two main points.

First of all, if you want to hold a competition, you can do without a license fee on the side of Fengyun Games, but the competition must be public, not limited to an internal event like Shark TV.

The second is to ensure the regularity of the event, including online and offline hosting by one venue.

Mr. Chen...... Can this give us some time to think about it?"

Hearing Chen Xu's words, the person in charge of Shark TV was also a little stunned, obviously he didn't expect Chen Xu to have such a request before he came.

Harsh, but not harsh, especially Chen Xu also said that he would waive the licensing fee of "Warcraft".

The main key is that if you agree to Chen Xu's request, it is obvious that this event will be a more formal medium-sized and large-scale event.

The venue fees and operating costs involved in this are not so simple.

And the main risk is coming to their Shark TV.

"Here's a copy of Warcraft-related stats that you can take a look at. As if he had expected the other party to say this, Chen Xu nodded lightly, smiled and took out a document that had already been printed from the drawer.

took the information from Chen Xu's hand, and then the other party's face showed a shocked expression.

Putting down the information, the person in charge of Shark TV couldn't help it: "Mr. Chen, the data of this information?"

"I'm not going to lie to anyone about this. Chen Xu smiled and said.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, can I make a call first?" said the other party apologetically.

Chen Xu stretched out his hand with a smile and signaled casually.

After about ten minutes, the person in charge of Shark TV came to Chen Xu's side with a smile on his face: "Mr. Chen, we have agreed to all your conditions." "

"It was a pleasure to work with. Chen Xu also smiled and stretched out his hand.

After sending off the person in charge of Shark TV, Chen Xu stretched his waist.

Regarding e-sports, Chen Xu still attaches great importance to it.

Because he knows very well how esports has a driving effect on gaming.

Even many players don't play the game and then go to the game, but watch the game and then play the game.

The cooperation with Shark TV is to be able to better promote e-sports.

In fact, including Shark TV, what the other party values more is also a popularity of "Warcraft".

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the other party to agree immediately after reading the relevant data of "Warcraft" submitted by Chen Xu.

But no matter what, both sides have a little goal, and it's still the same.

That is, to push the popularity of this e-sports event as high as possible.

Although Chen Xu is very aware of e-sports events, it has a great role in promoting competitive games like "Warcraft".

But running an e-sports event is not the same as making a game.

Without a suitable channel for delivery and drainage, even if you have experience, you can't do it, not to mention that Chen Xu alone understands some of the content in this aspect in the entire Fengyun game.

But it's not something that can be done by one person.

Therefore, it is the best choice to find a reliable organizer to hold an event.

What's more, the game is in the hands of Chen Xu, and the biggest right to speak is not his final say.

Just like "DOTA" and "League of Legends" in the previous life, the core TI and S matches are hosted by V Club and Riot themselves.

The rest of the season competitions have special organizers, and only by going hand in hand can the popularity of the game and the event be brought into play.

It's all big and big, and there's a negative example, and that's Blizzard.

In the previous life, in the event of "StarCraft", Blizzard just wanted to take care of it later, but it ended up being a mess.

Coupled with the impact of MOBA games, it is gradually declining.

At the same time, the event of "Warcraft" is almost also a preliminary attempt.

"Mr. Chen, are we going to hold an e-sports competition?" Looking at Chen Xu who walked out of the office, everyone seemed a little curious.

"Give me an authorization and let Shark TV do it. Chen Xu shook his head and said.

"But speaking of which, Warcraft does have the conditions to hold a competition, and I see that there are some players discussing it on the Internet. Qin Yi said.

At present, Warcraft has also been online for a while, and after an initial period, basically the level of players has gradually differentiated.

Coupled with the popularity of "Warcraft" in China, it basically crushed other RTS.

Therefore, there are also rumors that major clubs will transform their other RTS game divisions into "Warcraft".

Coupled with the influx of some other RTS professional players, there is actually no shortage of so-called god players.

"Alright, let's not talk about that, you guys have a day off on game day, so let's take a look at the map editor first. Chen Xu looked at a few people and said with a smile.

I took out a document that had been printed long ago.

"Eh!'Guarding the Sword Pavilion', 'Pyramid Escape', 'Warcraft Tower Defense TD', 'Rich Armor World', 'Fantasy Cao Cao' What is this?" Qin Yi looked at the several different documents in front of him, a little confused.

"It's related to the content of a new version and the map editor.,I've written all the relevant design ideas.,You can design the specific content yourself.,When the finished product comes to me, it's good to review it.。 Chen Xu looked at the three people and said.

These are all classic Warcraft RPG maps from the previous life, and when the editor was launched, it was naturally impossible to have no content.

As for Chenghai 3C, as well as RPG maps like DOTA and Dynasty Warriors, Chen Xu didn't do it.

He didn't want to give other game manufacturers an idea based on MOBA because of these maps.

Although Chen Xu believes that even if he makes it himself, the other party may not be able to do it.

After all, there were so many MOBA games in the previous life, but the one who really survived to the end on the PC platform was nothing more than "DOTA" and "League of Legends" sharing the world.

But believe in it, there is still no need to take this risk.

Therefore, Chen Xu mainly selected a few maps covering different directions, which is almost the time to give players a general direction of inspiration.

And it just happened to be an exercise for Qin Yi and the three of them.

Although these maps are classic, the content involved is much simpler than Warcraft.

Coupled with a related design idea, he has already completed it.

With the ability of the three people, Chen Xu felt that they were still competent, and in the end, he was the reviewer.

"What about you, Mr. Chen?" Touching his head, Qin Yi subconsciously asked.

"I, of course I want to take a break after developing "Warcraft", okay, don't talk nonsense, Qin Yi, you are in charge of the three pictures alone. Chen Xu said confidently.
