Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

At the end of June, Chen Xu was making arrangements for the follow-up"League of Legends" plan.

Also by the way, on the official blog and in the gaming community, let’s take a look at players’ comments on the new heroes launched in"League of Legends".

These are quite important.

At this time, the mobile phone next to him suddenly rang.

Chen Xu picked it up and looked at the caller ID, showing some surprise.

The caller was Hou Yalin from the Beijing Game Commission.

But now, the word"vice" in front of the other party's deputy minister has been removed.

When he was developing"The Coast of the Land" and"Three Kingdoms" before, Chen Xu also won the first prize of the game committee's tour.

Similarly, the overseas version of"Warcraft" was also cooperated with Xingbang Software under its recommendation, but how could the Game Committee call itself at this time?

With these curiosity, Chen Xu answered the phone:"Hello, Minister Hou?"

After answering the phone, Hou Yalin on the other side smiled and said:"Well, I don't have anything big to do with you this time, Chen Xu. Even the emperor will hold an event in two weeks." Electronic Entertainment Expo, led by our Gaming Council"

"Fengyun Games has reserved a special spot for you at the exhibition, but you haven't applied yet, so I'm here to ask today. If you don't plan to participate, we can arrange this spot to other manufacturers as soon as possible."

Hearing Hou Yalin's words, Chen Xu was stunned for a moment.

He didn't know much about this exhibition.

And he had been busy with the development of"League of Legends" before.

"Sorry, Minister Hou, I didn't know much about the situation in advance. Of course we would like to participate if we have the space."Chen Xu said

"Mr. Chen is very polite. This is mainly due to our negligence in failing to notify you in advance. However, if you have something that needs to be prepared, you must contact the exhibition as soon as possible because the time is tight and it is not confirmed. It’s not just you, Mr. Chen."Hou Yalin reminded me on the other end of the phone.

"No problem, Minister Hou."Chen Xu nodded lightly.

"Okay, then I will hang up here, and there are two other game manufacturers that I will also notify. Hou Yalin said with a smile on the other end of the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xu also opened the backend of the game editor to learn more about it.

This electronic entertainment exhibition is considered the first one.

It is different from some well-known overseas and domestic game exhibitions..

This time it is led by the Game Committee, and it is not an exhibition with a strong commercial nature. It also focuses more on one piece of content, including participating game manufacturers, and the requirements are also relatively strict.

Unlike some domestic exhibitions Just like game exhibitions, exhibitors can participate in the exhibition by paying directly.

Including players, it is free to participate in the exhibition without buying tickets.

At the same time, it is also led by the Game Committee, and most game manufacturers will also participate..

After a little understanding, Chen Xu had an idea.

This is almost the first time Fengyun Games has participated in a similar exhibition.

Before, I was thinking about how to launch new heroes for"League of Legends" to increase the popularity.

This time The exhibition is actually a pretty good real machine.

Chen Xu thought to himself, and at the same time, he dialed the number Hou Yalin sent to him and communicated with the relevant person in charge at the exhibition.

He was going to make arrangements for the exhibition.

After all, it is far away. If it is carried out, it will only take two weeks.

Since you have decided to participate, naturally you cannot just do it casually. You still have to do the things that need to be done.

…………

While Chen Xu was studying the exhibition matters.

On the other hand, Tenghua Game Department, the project team of"Heroic Battlefield".

The expressions of Lu Xiao and Zhang Qian were very solemn, and You Zifang next to him also had a thoughtful look on his face.

Because it is different from the situation next door where"League of Legends" is becoming more and more popular.

《After a brief period of popularity, Heroes Arena is now available through the background data of the game editor.

They observed that the number of people online in the game actually dropped.

And other related data that are active every day, although there is still growth, but compared with the speed of riding the high-speed train in the early days, it has now become a green train.

"This is not a good sign, although there is no big landslide yet, but it is definitely not a good sign."You Zifang said. At this moment, the uneasiness in his heart became more intense.

After hearing You Zifang's words, Lu Xiao and Zhang Qian also nodded.

Both of them are veteran game designers and should have the experience. There are all of them.

Naturally, we are clear about the current situation of"Heroes Arena".

From the data-related content feedback, it does not seem that the situation is very good.

To know the relevant data of the same"League of Legends" since its launch, it can be said that It has been improving steadily, and the improvement is visible to the naked eye.

You don’t even need detailed data to feel the momentum.

"Are you affected by League of Legends? Ranking matches, new versions and new heroes, Chen Xu’s version updates too fast!"

"This directly leads to attracting our users. After all, they are both MOBA games. To a certain extent, our users overlap. The increase in their users means the decrease in our users."Lu Xiao opened his mouth and expressed his opinion.

"It is indeed possible."Zhang Qian nodded.

"First, do a questionnaire survey to find out where the players are passing away and why. In addition, let the planning and operation side hold another event. In addition, there will be a game exhibition in the Imperial City in two weeks, which will just increase our sense of presence. At the same time, we The ranking competition and the development of new heroes must be completed as soon as possible, and it is best to launch them on the day of the game exhibition."Zhang Qian thought for a while and said.

HearAfter Qian's words, Lu Xiao nodded beside him.

If you don't know exactly what went wrong, this is the best and safest approach.

Use activities to stabilize players, and then launch new heroes and new maps as soon as possible to increase the content of the game and attract players to stay.

After that, figure out why players are leaving, and then make corresponding countermeasures.
