Developing A 3A Game With A Buyout System, Goose Factory Exploded

The man who was woken up could be regarded as an old acquaintance of Han An.

It was when he took office at Goose Factory that Han An's immediate boss was Hu Lin.

As the head of the game development department,

Their department happened to have a game launched recently, and it was also a horror game called "Cast Away".

The plot mainly tells the story of a group of young people who ended up on a deserted island due to an accident and experienced various bizarre encounters.

The main focus is horror survival.

This game,

Han An was one of the developers before.

The development of the entire game cost 300 million and lasted two and a half years.

It is said to be the first next-generation online game developed entirely by Goose Factory and using the Unreal Engine 3.

And in order to build momentum,

As early as last year, overwhelming publicity had begun.

It even invited popular traffic star Cai Tushen to endorse it.

It can be said to be one of the blockbuster works launched by Goose Factory this year.

only,

This highly touted game was nothing but bullshit in Han An’s eyes.

No,

It's a garbage game that's worse than shit.

The picture quality is rough and greasy, the characters are all over the place, and there are countless bugs.

The key is,

The entire game requires money from the very beginning.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to survive even the first night on a desert island.

Han An didn't even know where they got the nerve to brag about this kind of rubbish game.

He even claimed to invest 300 million?

May I ask where this money was spent?

As for the game’s public beta date,

Just a few days later.

On such a sensitive date, a horror game suddenly appeared and appeared.

Naturally, it attracted the attention of Goose Factory.

That night,

Hu Lin was woken up by the phone and was informed of a meeting the next morning.

...........

The next day,

As the sun rises above the horizon.

Early in the morning,

The development department headed by Hu Lin started a meeting.

The manager in charge of publicity and marketing immediately put the game sales list on the steam platform on the big screen.

On the list,

Number one on the list is a game called Resident Evil.

The time above shows,

The game was released at 4pm yesterday.

So far, in less than a day, the game has sold 200,000 copies.

The most important thing is that this game is not a free game.

The price is 325.

This is absolutely unheard of.

"I only learned about this game last night. It is said that an anchor on the seafood platform was the first to discover this game."

"After playing for a while, it became popular."

"Although I have not played it, judging from the live broadcast, this game is far superior to the games on the market today in terms of picture quality and gameplay."

The words fell,

Someone immediately asked: "Which company made it?"

"I don't know. Judging from the information on the steam platform, the other party seems to be an independent developer."

"impossible!"

When the publicity department manager finished speaking, someone immediately slapped the table and said excitedly: "This level of picture quality is definitely not something that one person can create."

"As far as I know, Yi Factory's recent games are also built using the Unreal Engine 3. It is impossible to reach this level. Is the other party a foreign game manufacturer?"

As the head of the development department,

Hu Lin squinted his eyes and looked at the game sales rankings.

Buyout game.

This word kept flashing in my mind.

He still remembers the developer named Han An who worked for him before.

Relying on my ability, I repeatedly proposed to myself to develop a AAA game with a buyout system.

Finally he was kicked out by himself.

did not expect,

Only one day passed,

There is a buyout game that has become a hit.

This was undoubtedly a slap in the face.

Hu Lin interrupted the person who was speaking and said in a deep voice: "Old Li, what do you think of the way this game is sold?"

He became Lao Li's person.

He is the head of the marketing department.

He looked at the sales volume and the price of the game, and said calmly: "The game is a good game, but the way it is released is too stupid."

"Buyout game? Haha, it's just a joke."

"Not to mention the game threshold of more than 300 yuan, it can directly attract 90% of people."

"It is a very stupid decision to say that in the future, apart from the income from players purchasing the game, there will be no profit!"

Hu Lin nodded in agreement, and then said in a contemptuous tone: "Then ignore it, it's just a game destined to fail. Such a thing is not worth our time and energy."

"Now our main focus is still on "Cast Island Crisis"."

"By the way, I used to have an employee who always proposed to me to develop a game with a buyout system. I kicked him out yesterday. I don't understand why such a stupid person exists!"

"Just looking at the picture quality of this game, you know that the investment is definitely not small. The investment is large, the profit is low, and the development cycle is long. This kind of game is just a flash in the pan after all."

In the face of Hu Lin’s remarks,

Others at the meeting nodded in agreement.

soon,

The meeting came to an end.

Hu Lin looked at the game's sales, which were still rising, and suddenly suggested: "Go back and contact their developers."

"If possible, it would be a good idea to acquire this game. After all, the quality is very good. As long as the charging model is slightly changed, I think this year's revenue will reach a higher level."

"Yes, this is a good method."

"Then get in touch, otherwise it would be bad if this kind of game gets buried."

(Suddenly I remembered that it is July now. The author shamelessly asked for a monthly ticket.)
