Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

In the experience store on the first floor, a group of players are experiencing the game there.

"Oops, you’re pulling farmers!"

"Don't block the intersection!"

"Sprinkle the dust of manifestation!"

In front of a computer, a boy of about 20 was sitting there playing"Warcraft".

In the game, he was facing an Orc player, who was using the Juggernaut to harass his farmers.

Behind him stood another He looked at several players with a look of resentment on his face.

However, it was obvious that these people knew each other with their arms around each other.

"Oops, with this operation of yours, the other sword masters have already run away, and you are just spreading the dust of manifestation."

"Yes, yes, a whole team of big Gs came out, why do you only have 4 small infantrymen!"(The infantry of the Orcs are called Big G for short)

Listening to the words of his companions behind him, the young man sitting in front of the computer also turned red.

Friends are friends, but you guys are a little too yin and yang.

"Don't push it! You you on the line!"

Finally, I couldn't help it anymore. The player sitting in front of the computer stood up immediately, and then gave up the mouse and keyboard.

These keyboard warriors, how can they endure such a violent temper?

Faced with this The few players standing behind the sudden 'outrage' didn't panic at all. The one closest to him seemed to have been prepared. He sat down on the sofa chair and put on the headphones decisively.

"I'll go on my own, study hard, and watch well!"

While talking, the other party took over the game with excitement.

Several other people next to him also showed regretful expressions at this time, and their movements were too slow!

The boy who gave up his seat looked at his friend sitting there with a happy face. The man pretending to be"Warcraft" stood there stunned for a moment.

Why did he feel that he seemed to have been tricked?

During the lunch break, Chen Xu, who came down from the second floor, noticed this scene and was speechless.

The entire experience store is actually not too big. There are only about 20 computers in total, plus a dozen mobile phones. The only products pre-installed on it are Fengyun Games products.

《"Undertale","Vitality Knight","Three Kingdoms","Land of the Land" and the newly launched"Warcraft".

But with the popularity of"Warcraft", some nearby players also came after hearing the news, leaving Chen Xu speechless for a while.

"Mr. Chen is here!"

"real? where?"

At this time, someone noticed Chen Xu coming down from upstairs, and suddenly showed a surprised expression.

At the same time, a group of players also gathered around

"Mr. Chen, will Alsace become the villain in the future?"

"Yes, yes, and Mr. Chen, where did Illidan go in the end?"

"Mr. Chen, how do the night elves attack the orcs?"

"Mr. Chen, when will there be a sequel?"

With the arrival of Chen Xu, a group of surrounding players rushed over to ask Chen Xu relevant questions.

Compared with before, many players present were not that unfamiliar with Chen Xu. They were not like the first player. When I came here last time, I wanted to take a photo with Chen Xu.

Now they are more concerned about the game.

"There will definitely be content about Warcraft in the future, but not now. After all,"Warcraft" has only been launched not long ago, and we also have some new content in the future that is being developed."

"As for the gameplay, players need to study it themselves."Chen Xu looked at everyone and said with a smile.

He chatted casually with the players in the experience store for a while, during which many people gave some suggestions.

But what left Chen Xu speechless was the suggestions given by these people. It's not about games.

It's about, for example, whether there can be more computers in the experience store. The space is a bit insufficient. If computers can't be added, can there be more stools? It's a bit tiring to stand behind others and watch others play.

Yes. He also expressed his hope that the experience store could sell some afternoon tea foods such as cakes, milk tea, and fried chicken burgers. After all, sitting and playing games all afternoon is quite tiring. Listening to everyone's words, Chen Xu was also drunk.

This is really true Is this experience store an Internet cafe?

Chen Xu naturally said NO to this request.

At the same time, this also reminded Chen Xu about the time in the experience store.

When there were few people before, He didn't care.

After all, there are more machines than people, and players can play as long as they want.

But now there are more and more players every day.

And when new games are developed in the future, Chen Xu will also advance some games Conduct an advance test in the offline experience store.

Therefore, it must not be like now, where each player binds his or her ID card and the experience has a time limit.

After shopping around, Chen Xu returned to the second floor to meet Han Yue Let’s talk about this aspect.

After all, the original intention of opening the experience store is that Chen Xu wants to get more feedback about the game from the players.

Whether it is reasonable or unreasonable, it can bring some enlightenment..I don’t really want to open an Internet cafe.

"By the way, Mr. Chen, Shark TV just contacted us and said that they hope to obtain authorization for a"Warcraft" competitive event."Han Yue said to Chen Xu

"Competitive event? Let’s talk about it in detail."Hearing Han Yue's words, Chen Xu was stunned for a moment and asked.

E-sports events are actually in Chen Xu's plan.

After all,"Warcraft" is a competitive game.

But it has been under development before. Game, this aspect has not yet had time to lay out the detailed layout and understand in depth.

After hearing Chen Xu's words, Han Yue also quickly explained the matter in detail.

Listening to Han Yue's introduction, Chen Xu also showed a surprised expression.

It’s not that e-sports events have never been held in this world.

It’s just that they are basically small-scale events.

Why?

The main reason is that you can’t make big money.

Why do you organize e-sports competitions and form clubs?

To promote the game, because you love the game?

It was naturally like this in the early days.

But later on, it was obviously not the case. It was naturally for money. If the game is not popular enough and you can’t make money, then how can the game continue to be run?

Plus this world The holding of relevant large-scale events is also quite formal and requires an authorization from the game manufacturer.

This adds another level of difficulty to the event.

Of course, for small Internet cafe events, if you do not have authorization, no one will bother you.

If not The momentum of"Warcraft" seems to be extremely hot. It is estimated that no one from Shark TV will come to Fengyun Games to obtain the authorization.

But seeing the request from Shark TV, Chen Xu couldn't help but be speechless.

After all, it is also the largest live broadcast in the country. Platform, and you have come to Fengyun Games to buy a license, but your pattern is too small, right?

According to Shark TV, it is a competition, but it is actually an event of its own platform. The participating players Basically, they are all anchors on their own platforms.

Of course, Shark TV will also pay the licensing fee to Fengyun Games.

"Help me make an appointment with the person in charge of Shark TV. I want to discuss the competition in detail with them."Chen Xu thought for a while and said to Han Yue.

As for the e-sports event, Chen Xu had been preparing to hold it from the beginning.

It was not for money or anything. To be honest, Chen Xu really didn't care about the income from the competition.

What Chen Xu cares about most is this kind of e-sports event, which promotes games.

In his previous life,"League of Legends"》《DOTA》It can be said that such popularity is inseparable from the success of the annual S competition and TI, as well as various quarterly competitions.

The popularity of e-sports events drives the popularity of e-sports events, which in turn feeds back into games.
