Game designer: I make games, not charity

"Mr. Ma, when the time comes, should we let our colleagues in the video department directly jam it?

President Ma and several of the most familiar executives were sitting together, watching the competition scene of the world's first martial arts conference projected on the large screen in the office.

At this time, he was broadcasting Zhang Jiafei's song live.

When one of the executives saw the news of the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" TV series, he couldn't help but think of the "Immortal Cultivation Simulator" that they had failed before.

So I gave such a suggestion.

But when Ma heard this, he slowly shook his head and was silent.

Then he directly picked up the remote control next to him and turned off the live broadcast screen.

Several executives also knew when they saw the situation in front of them that Mr. Ma was thinking about things now, and he might not be in a good mood.

The executive who suggested using the penguin video to target Chen Feng just now immediately shut up and didn't say anything more.

Other executives also moved their gazes to Mr. Ma's face, waiting for Mr. Ma to speak.

Mr. Ma frowned, silent for a moment, and then, his eyes couldn't help but flash a bright light.

He cleared his throat, looked around, and then said very seriously: "After this time, the quality and gameplay of our Warrior Legend have been greatly improved, and it can be called a boutique computer game.

Although there is a gap with Platinum's Dungeons & Warriors, the two games are actually different genres.

Dungeons & Warriors is a 2D game, and our Legend of Warriors is more skewed towards the previous Sword and Fairy of Snow.

I remember that when "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was on fire, it seemed that many players were also requesting that a match be held..." He

looked at several executives around him and asked, "Is there such a thing?"

Penguin has been firmly in the Great Xia Kingdom and the first game company over the years.

There is also the big killer of traffic entrance in hand.

These executives have become accustomed to sit back and down, their eyes are very high and far, and sometimes they basically do not care, too low things.

Only one of them frowned and thought for a moment, and then replied: "There is such a thing, my employees once told me

, because I also make fighting games myself, and I have also held offline competitions, so I also specialized in studying the game "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and the opinions of some players on the forum!"

President Ma's face had already appeared a little impatient, and when he heard this, his expression immediately relaxed, and he quickly asked: "Then what results did you study?"

It depends on which aspect it is.

Ma said, "It's about the game, is there enough people in that game who asked Platinum to do the match?" and the

executive immediately replied, "Many! That's not a serious fighting game, but it's also very good at PvP."

Basically, seventy or eighty percent of the players support Platinum to hold offline tournaments!" Mr

. Ma continued, "Then in your opinion, or do the rest of you have any information channels, tell me, why didn't Platinum use the game "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" to hold the competition

, but then launched a "Dungeon and Warriors", what is the difference?"

Ma Zong's first reaction was that they also have to do game competitions in the goose factory!

They have more money, better connections, and more experience.

It is definitely possible to do a larger scale of competitions, and it is likely to be more successful!

After all, the games used to compete are different.

So in the contemplation just now, Mr. Ma has begun to think about how to hold this competition!

Basically all VR games were previously excluded by Ma.

After watching the overall process of the world's No. 1 martial arts association in "Dungeons and Warriors", Mr. Ma has fully understood why the "Dungeons and Warriors" competition is so successful.

That is because of the number of players

, then the previous VR games naturally can't be used

, otherwise just like the previous competition, basically a splash, can't even get up.

Because it is simply impossible to have that many viewers.

So his idea could only be placed on the only full-fledged computer game in the entire company today.

But

today's Legend of Warriors is different from Dungeons & Warriors.

So he also needs to ask for the opinions of others while thinking for himself.

There was a moment of silence in the office, and then the executive who had just spoken to Mr. Ma finally spoke: "That's right!

The balance of the game "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is not completely very good, and the equipment and level of players in the PVE will affect PvP.

But in the dungeon, this situation is completely isolated, and in the duel arena, the two players are completely fair, relying purely on their own abilities.

I guess Shirogane realized this at the time, and immediately picked up his mistake and corrected it in Dungeons & Warriors.

In the end, this world's first martial arts meeting was held!" Ma

Zong couldn't help nodding: "Very good, it coincides with my ideas, in addition, I think there are two reasons why the charging strategies of the two games are different, at that time, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" because of the point card charge, even if it is a computer game, it isolates some players."

So this time "Dungeons & Warriors", Platinum is directly free for all players to play, so that the game can have the largest number of viewers!

But besides that, can we think of any other reason?" Ma

Zong looked at several executives around him: "It's okay, you can say whatever you want, everyone can speak freely!"

"Could it be that the backgrounds of the two games are different?" "

This is absolutely impossible, "Dungeons and Warriors" is more biased towards foreign backgrounds, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is more inclined to our domestic background, which background players have a sense of substitution, prefer, this is something that everyone knows!"

"Could it be that the operation mode is different? The skills of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" seem to be pressed out with shortcut keys, "Dungeons and Warriors" "

It should have little to do with this, the skills of "Dungeons and Warriors" can also be locked to shortcut keys, and a large number of people play like this, but we can also consider doing two sets of operations when doing Warrior Legends, and players can freely choose.

"Is it possible that there is a reason for the job change?" "

Is there any connection between changing jobs and holding a competition?" "

So why do you say it?"

"

......

Ideas are constantly being put forward, but after discussion, they are directly excluded.

Some people even say that it will be that the combat and operation of "Dungeons and Warriors" is better than "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

But as soon as this point was raised, it was directly rejected.

And the one who rejected this point was the executive who knew the game "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" very well.

He is very sure that the battle in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is also very good.

In this 3D form, it is more substitutionary, and more things need to be considered when operating.

Such a battle is the best battle, and it is the direction of the future.

Because this executive himself develops and designs, and also operates and updates this very good pure fighting game.

And there are a lot of die-hard fans.

Therefore, his statement is undoubtedly very informative.

So this was immediately excluded by everyone.

Several executives discussed in the office for an entire night, until 12 a.m., when finally a result came to an end.

That is, in addition to the two points that Ma discussed with the executive at the beginning, the balance of the duel field and the pricing strategy.

None of the other side matters are what influences whether Platinum hosts a gaming tournament.

On the surface, the whole evening discussion did not seem to be meaningful or rewarding.

But for Mr. Ma, the gain this time is extremely huge

, because after eliminating all the wrong answers as much as possible, he has basically determined that his original idea is the correct answer.

This discussion strengthened his ideas and made him basically have no worries.

Now Mr. Ma has completely decided that he is going to hold a game competition.

Just use the legend of the warrior to hold a game competition that is countless times larger than the scale of the world's first martial arts association!

Then, he is going to make the Legend of Warriors game global

! He has to involve the whole world!

And with the ability of the goose factory, it is easy to do this kind of thing.

At the end of the meeting, Mr. Ma gave an order to all the executives in the office.

"Tomorrow start contacting me to every country, our partners and allies, we are going to proxy the computer version of the Legend of Warriors!" Several

executives were stunned, and one of them asked suspiciously: "But the Legend of Warriors has not yet been released?

Otherwise, foreign game manufacturers will not act as agents at all, and it is impossible to spend their own money to push abroad, right?

Whether it is voice or text, it must be switched to the version of another country.

Under

normal circumstances, this cost is paid by foreign agents themselves.

After all, they are going to represent a successful game in their own country, they want to make money.

So they are naturally willing to spend huge agency fees and localized money.

But if it's a game that will still be released....

This is something that hardly any game company does.

Because an unreleased game, whether it can be successful or not, no one knows.

If it has not been released in the country and has not been successful, it will be forced to push abroad with your own money.

Basically, no game manufacturer will agree,

unless the company makes its own versions in other countries and bears its own costs.

And it may also be necessary to give up a large sum of profits before it can be deduced.

And this behavior is simply spending the cost of multiple games to do one game.

Put all the eggs in the same basket.

This kind of loss-making trading is certainly something that no one would do!

But none of them dared to say it.

And Mr. Ma's next answer surprised these high-ranking officials: "Talk to them first, we can give up some benefits, if we can't talk about it, we will spend money to launch it ourselves!"

Several executives were stunned.

I even suspect that this was not said by Mr. Ma.

Do we really want to spend money ourselves to do this kind of loss-making transaction?"

Calm down!"

many executives immediately persuaded.
