An Expert Is actually By My Side

Chapter 295 The Sensational Player Circle

Hao Yun did not explain in detail the meaning of his words.

One is because there is no need for that, and the other is because the time has not yet come.

According to his observation, although many RTS games in this world also integrate the function of map editor, basically no game has truly carried forward this function and expanded the gameplay that is completely different from traditional RTS games.

The reason why this happened is mainly because the RTS game market in this world is too small.

At least in Xiaguo, compared to RPG games, RTS is not an exaggeration even if it is described as a niche. Whether it is on station B or on other platforms, it is almost impossible to see any anchor live broadcasting RTS games, and it is almost impossible to see any UP making edited videos of RTS games.

The third-person perspective is inherently more immersive than God's bird's-eye view, and it can better arouse the emotions of players and audiences. The game of farming for half an hour and fighting for five minutes is destined to be fun only for gamers.

However, this also means that when there are many choices, this type of game will hardly get much natural traffic, and it is difficult to trigger large-scale discussions in the player community.

And if you want to develop new gameplay, sharing and discussion are the prerequisites for everything.

The reason why Rice Entertainment is eyeing the cake of RTS games is that collecting money is only one aspect. More importantly, they have already mastered the "Assassin Biography" series of IPs. They need to create a core IP of the RTS category to expand their market share. The map of the game industry.

No matter how small the market is, it is not a problem to develop one or two representative games. In the future, it will not only be RTS, but categories such as SLG, FTG, and even text adventures will also appear in Rice Entertainment.

This is not only a strategic need, but also Xu Qianshi's own ambition!

After the meeting ended, Hao Yun left Jiang Lecheng alone, and got straight to the point.

"I want to design a CG short film for our Warcraft for promotional purposes. The duration is about half a minute. I want to know how long the production cycle usually takes?"

Jiang Lecheng thought for a while and said.

"Half a minute should not take too long. The models are all ready-made. If you hire a CG team with mature technology, you can finish it within two weeks."

"What about the budget?" Hao Yun asked.

Jiang Lecheng thought for a while and said.

"It depends on what the specific content is. If it's just a few close-up shots and dubbed monologues, it may cost hundreds of thousands. If you put some big-budget war scenes in the short film, if you want to do it well, it's not worth a million yuan. Can't come down."

The film CG production technology in this life is quite different from the previous life, both in terms of production cycle and production cost.

"I understand the general situation, and I will give you a task."

"Tell me." Jiang Lecheng took out a small notebook and took notes carefully.

"Help me contact a reliable CG production team, and try to make a promotional short film before June."

Turning the pen in his hand, Jiang Lecheng continued to ask.

"Thirty seconds... it shouldn't be a problem, what about the budget? And the script of the short film, do you have any ideas or suggestions?"

"The budget is tentatively set at five million. Don't save me money, as long as the money is worth it." After a pause, Hao Yun continued, "In addition, I will provide the script here, and I will discuss more details with CG. The production team communicates directly."

Jiang Lecheng nodded seriously.

"I see."

...

late may.

A movie-level CG short film was uploaded to Station B.

At the beginning of the picture, a griffin with a griffin's body and eagle claws flies across the air, and the zoomed-out lens gives a silhouette of Stormwind City from a distance. The warm sunlight, the singing of bards, the shiny armor and blades of guards, and the names of farmers working in the fields all outline a fantasy world in just a few seconds.

But the good times didn't last long, the sun was covered by dark clouds, the sound of the bard's piano gradually faded away, and the camera changed again, only to see a mage in robes stepping on the suspended ladder, and at the same time the voice of the narration sounded.

"Our world has been peaceful until something is approaching... I can feel that the forces of darkness are attacking us."

In the jungle, beasts roared, and the soldiers of the empire were ambushed. The confrontation of swords and axes, the collision of shields and flesh, after the hand-to-hand combat, the camera switches to a serious human lord in armor.

"Whatever these beasts are, find them!"

The camera continued to switch, switching to a desolate land.

There is the hometown of orcs, and it is also a world that is dying. A huge portal stood in the middle of the wasteland, exuding ominous evil energy, and the burly orcs were migrating in the direction of the "gate" with firm steps.

With a completely different voice, the voice of chanting Bai sounded again.

"Our world is dead, and there is nothing left to cling to."

"If our tribe is to continue, we must make our home here—"

"at all costs!"

Accompanied by the deafening drums and the passionate BGM, a big battle seems to be on the verge of breaking out!

But at this moment, the screen suddenly changed, and they came to a camp, and the hustle and bustle of the voice suddenly subsided.

Looking at the blood of Mannoroth in his hand, the orc with the giant ax slowly opened his mouth.

"But, Gul'dan, at what cost?"

The orc dressed as a wizard answered slowly.

"all of these……"

The video is only thirty seconds long.

However, less than a day after the video was uploaded, the number of bullet screens exceeded 30,000.

If you ignore the label of the advertisement and just look at the exquisite graphics and smooth story rhythm, you might think it is a promotional video for an upcoming CG movie!

The video was quickly reposted to other platforms, especially the major game forums, which completely detonated the niche RTS player circle.

Especially the RTS game exchange area of ​​the Game Island Forum.

On the first page of almost the entire section, the topics of discussion basically revolved around the 30-second promotional video and the RTS game produced by Yunmeng.

"Fuck! Is Yunmeng Game eyeing real-time strategy games?!"

"The spring of real-time strategy!"

"Hahahaha, there are games to play this summer vacation!"

"By the way, the June schedule is a bit busy! There was Rice Entertainment's "Seven Kingdoms" before, and Yunmeng Games' "Warcraft" later. Is this a warm-up for the summer vacation?"

"The gods fight, and the small benches watch the show. (funny)"

"I'm still optimistic about "Seven Kingdoms". After all, the strength of rice is not to be boasted. Even if the new year's rice is more hip, the graphics and special effects alone can be worth the ticket price. Although Warcraft only sells for 99, but Yunmeng game is what piss you I also know that whether this guy is bad or not depends on his mood, and his performance is too unstable!"

"I think "Warcraft" will become a dark horse. After all, Mr. Hao, who won the Golden Keyboard Award, personally designed it. As long as the actual game quality can be half of the CG that is advertised, it will definitely not be a big problem if it is worth the ticket price. Let's see what kind of surprise it can bring me."

"Before I see the real thing, I'd better not express my opinion. I only worry about one thing now. Mr. Hao's games are all short and sharp. Don't let the actual game experience be the same as that of mobile games. It's too embarrassing!"
