Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

One month after the launch of Monster Hunter: World.

Games developed by Tenghua, Yilong and Interactive Entertainment using the latest technology are also online.

It’s just a result compared to the results achieved by"Monster Hunter: World".

None of these games are as popular as Monster Hunter.

Although"Monster Hunter: World" currently only has one VR platform online.

But its sales volume is also terrifying.

In one and a half months, the sales of"Monster Hunter: World" on VR platforms reached 3.1 million units.

And this is only a month and a half.

Including the follow-up"Monster Hunter: World", a corresponding PC version will also be launched in Chen Xu's plan.

"Dark Soul", which was the first to be launched on the PC platform, will also be ported to VR.

Of course, this is not a short-term plan, but a long-term plan.

As for"Monster Hunter: World" itself, in Chen Xu's opinion, the sales volume of 3.1 million is not at all a first launch.

You must know that in the previous life,"Monster Hunter: World 12" had not yet been launched on the PC platform, and it was only based on giant hard drives and PS console platforms.

It sold 5 million copies within 3 days of its launch, which is terrifying.

Beyond any previous series.

Before this,"Monster Hunter: World" was relatively speaking, just a hard-core action game that was not so popular.

The main reason for such an achievement is that"Monster Hunter: World" has undergone all-round innovations.

In terms of operational difficulty, it has become more suitable for novices and lowered the threshold to a certain extent.

In addition, that is the change of the picture.

The previous"Monster Hunter: World" was basically released on handheld consoles.

But because of the performance of the handheld console, there is no way to support"Monster Hunter" to create a more powerful picture.

Compromises have to be made for the hardware.

And in"Monster Hunter: World", there is a completely new appearance.

In an instant, countless hunters felt extremely amazed.

Coupled with the core gameplay.

This attracted countless new and old players and became a tens of millions of masterpieces.

Things like pictures are just like human skin.

Good-looking people are always more popular than ugly people.

This is something beyond doubt.

But it also attracts the attention of others through its good-looking skin.

How to retain people is a matter of the inner soul.

And"Monster Hunter: World" undoubtedly has these two elements of skin and soul.

So it is inevitable that it will be so successful.-.……………….The Monster Hunter: World news continues, and some hunters are looking forward to it.

At this time, Chen Xu was having an internal meeting with Han Yue and others.

"5 USD? Well, this manufacturer from the Netherlands is indeed worth the price."Looking at a document in Han Yue's hand, Chen Xu nodded lightly.

"Mr. Chen, the amount we have spent on acquiring these game manufacturers has reached US$4.1 billion. Han Yue said after a moment. During this period, one of the tasks she was given was to acquire some game manufacturers and studios around the world. The acquisition targets were also all kinds of strange, including those focusing on racing games and others focusing on flight simulations. , some focus on plot performances, and some focus on simulation operations.

For this reason, Fengyun Games has invested up to 4.1 billion US dollars in this.

Although it has not affected any of the company's cash reserves, this number is still quite huge.

At least this year, there has not been such a large-scale acquisition in the gaming industry

"It was all worth it and we could afford it."Chen Xu looked at Han Yue and said with a smile.

The acquisition of the shares of these game manufacturers alone has reached 4.1 billion US dollars, plus the daily salary expenses of these manufacturers' internal teams. The annual expenditure in this area is a huge number.

But in Chen Xu’s view, these are all worthwhile.

Because this involves a step in the next step of Fengyun Games.

In the current domestic market, he has only developed a game in VR.

A"Monster Hunter: World" , a"Slaying Prototype".

But in fact, the market share is already the fourth largest.

Second only to Tenghua, Yilong, and Interactive Entertainment.

Mainly from two aspects.

The first is that the quality of the game is excellent enough. Moreover,"Monster Hunter: World" is a game with cooperative fighting and social attributes.

The second point is that on the previous PC platform, three years of sharpening the sword to become world-famous has already made domestic players aware of the situation. Games.

So even if you switch to a VR platform, there will be a reputation bonus.

But the domestic market share has actually reached a turning point.

No one can defeat anyone immediately.

Tenghua, Yilong, and Interactive Entertainment cannot easily defeat Fengyun Games.

Similarly, Fengyun Games cannot defeat them quickly.

It relies on the launch of excellent games in the future to slowly encroach on the market.

So in fact, China is approaching a saturation point.

But there is a large blue ocean market overseas.

For Fengyun Games, this is a good entry point.

But Fengyun Games itself has a relatively high market share overseas with one game after another. Well-known.

But in terms of platforms, there are actually not many channels.

The previous"Warcraft" and"Minecraft" all followed an agency route.

And"League of Legends" and"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" followed an agency route. An independent independent intranet platform route.

Just like the previous domestic"Three Kingdoms" and"Lituo Bin".

A game that is profitable enough and can open up overseas markets.

The game that made Fengyun Game Platform famous in one fell swoop , this is what Chen Xu wants to do below.

At the same time, an effect brought by the latest technology also allows Chen Xu to see the possibility.

In a vivid word, games that do not use physics engines and AI systems are Games belong to the previous era.

Games that use physics engines and AI systems are games of the next era.

This is an era of alternation between the old and the new.

It is also an era of reshuffle of forces in the gaming industry.

…………

Naturally, there is no way to hide such a huge acquisition information.

What started as a rumor quickly spread throughout the gaming community.

Such a large gesture instantly attracted the attention of countless game designers and players.

They all have only one problem.

That is: What exactly does Fengyun Games want to do? _To read the underlined version of the novel, please download the Feilu Novel APP! Support
