Chapter 35 What kind of game is needed?

"Oh..." Liu Xiang came back to his senses and shook his head with a smile, "When I haven't made enough money, I don't think I'm ready to touch this market that people love and hate. []"

"Yes!" Xi Xiaoding sighed, "Although online games have great charm and temptation, e-sports also has advantages that online games cannot match. Forget it, let me tell you about the current planning progress."

"According to what you said, the planning team not only studied the legends we currently operate, but also studied almost all Korean games on the market, and then compared them with European and American games."

"Unfortunately, it's not a Korean game that I'm interested in. Even the Legends we currently operate, to me, compared to European and American games, it's just... rubbish."

"go on."

"But now, Chinese players seem to need this garbage." Xi Xiaoding smiled sadly, "The one-sided pursuit of upgrades and

The pleasure brought by k, not understanding the rules of European and American games, putting personal strength first, eager for quick success, etc. are all the current manifestations of Chinese players. Sadly, it is Korean games that have nailed this."

"Speaking of this, I have to admire your vision. In fact, I really doubt whether you have the legendary prophetic ability." Looking at Liu Xiang, Xi Xiaoding sighed, "If we still follow the European and American gamification methods, we will

The game you make will definitely hit the streets.”

"Hehe..." Liu Xiang shrugged, "Let's get to the point."

"The background of the story is still a fictional magical world. There are four professions, including warrior, mage, Taoist priest and assassin."

"With the pressure from other people in the planning department, we gave up the free point allocation method and instead let the system automatically allocate points. The skill book and equipment system are based on the legendary dark system, but with the addition of equipment upgrade elements. When the upgrade reaches a certain level, the equipment

It will produce beautiful light and shadow effects.”

"The mission system... We referred to most of the game systems, including gold, and decided to abandon the overly complex and lengthy missions and instead take the simple route of killing monsters and running away. The rewards were also changed to reward experience points and equipment.

Money and other tasks are not too much and are simple.”

"As for the skills... we haven't thought about it yet." Xi Xiaoding jumped on the desk and looked at Liu Xiang, "But the most important issue at the moment is the engine! The game engine!"

Liu Xiang sneered: "Isn't it just a matter of developing one? You are so talented..."

"I am engaged in game development, not engine development! There is a fundamental difference between the two!" Xi Xiaoding drank water angrily after finishing his rant, "But I am an all-rounder... It doesn't take much to build a 2 engine."

time..."

"But if you ask me to build the 3rd engine in the future... I would rather kick you off the 12th floor!"

"What? Not confident?" Liu Xiang looked at Xi Xiaoding and smiled.

After looking at Liu Xiang for a long time, Xi Xiaoding sighed inexplicably.

"Brother, do you understand games? Or is your understanding of games only at the level of Fatty Zeng?"

"I'm warning you, don't keep talking about me. What I do is marketing!" Fatty Zeng finally became popular, "What I want is that players like me! It's not a 23 or a single-cylinder or double-cylinder!"

After staring at Xi Xiaoding for a long time, Liu Xiang also sighed. This sigh made Xi Xiaoding and Fatty Zeng feel confused at the same time.

As Xi Xiaoding said, the 2 engine is so simple that Liu Xiang is not prepared to spend money on it at all! Because even if he spends money and it is not a lot of money to buy it, he still has to learn and be affected by copyrights and many other things...

…This is undoubtedly an impossible choice for Liu Xiang, who aspires to become the No. 1 player in the Chinese gaming industry.

But 3…

Leaning back on Xi Xiaoding's boss's chair, which was as comfortable as the general manager's office, Liu Xiang put his head in his hands and glanced at Fatty Zeng and Xi Xiaoding...

"Do you think I am the kind of person who is ready to buy other people's things and be criticized by others?"

Xi Xiaoding and Fatty Zeng shook their heads at the same time.

"Although there is currently no mainstream 3 engine applied to games, in the future, this will definitely be a trend. I even bet that many companies are already developing 3 series games! Xi Xiaoding, don't you think so?"

After thinking for a moment, Xi Xiaoding nodded.

"But developing a 3 game is not as simple as a 2 game. I believe it will be at least a year before they put it into the market, right?"

Xi Xiaoding nodded again.

"Fat man, from your perspective, won't 3 games become popular in Congress from the very beginning?"

"No!" Fatty Zeng said firmly without even shaking his head. "3 games will be subject to many constraints. When the hardware cannot keep up, the popularity of 3 games will only be setback."

"Let's analyze the current bar situation in the domestic market. Most of the current bar machines are still in the Celeron era. Even the newly opened bar machines are only the more advanced second-generation Celeron. We are honored that such a configuration can already run us smoothly.

The current game."

"According to the model of a prosperous bar recovering its costs within one year and starting to gradually update computers in the second year, even after two years, apart from new bars and old bars on the market, the configurations should be almost at the level of Pentium and Duron." I thought.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Xiang added, "To be precise, it's Cy Young and Poison Dragon."

"As for the graphics card, the level that can't jump out of tnt2 may be a little higher, but it won't be too outrageous." Liu Xiang smiled, "And this configuration will have to continue until the end of 2003 before the hardware can keep up with the needs of the game.

"

"Of course, one thing that needs to be taken into consideration during this period is the popularity of personal computer users. There is no doubt that personal computer configurations are generally a higher level than those of personal computers. However, according to the predictions of authoritative departments, the popularity of personal computers in China has happened to have only started in 2003.

Starting at the end of the year.”

"Where did you get this information?" Xi Xiaoding was stunned as Liu Xiang's analysis was almost watertight.

With a smile, Liu Xiang did not answer him, "In other words, any 3 games launched in the domestic gaming market before 2004 will encounter a setback. This is only based on the hardware analysis, not the players' habits."

"For example, people who are used to playing 2 games will get dizzy when playing 2 games. This also exists in games." Liu Xiang continued to laugh.

"You mean, we still need to develop the 3-game engine ourselves?" Xi Xiaoding finally understood Liu Xiang's intention, "I confess, if we develop it ourselves, it is completely possible to catch up with the 3-game wave in three years, but we need more

R & D personnel."

Liu Xiang nodded, "This is the plan. Now you can start working on the 2nd engine. After the engine is developed, a group of people will continue to work on the 3rd engine."

When Xi Xiaoding was about to speak again, Liu Xiang waved his hand quickly, "I know what you are going to say! Next year, I will bring you a 3 development team!"

"...Is this another lie?"
