I’m Almost Losing to a Muggle

Chapter 447: ?Domestic work

Pei Qianlong said it was light, but it was really difficult to do it.

Domestic R&D games like outsourcing. Many game studios rely on outsourcing to survive. Even a giant like Penguin uses a combination of internal independent R&D and diversified external cooperation in R&D, testing, and auditing. A lot of outsourcing business has been thrown out in many fields.

There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, but it is really not a simple matter to find a master in a big wave.

Fortunately, Penguin Games began to adjust its organizational structure in October 2014. The original eight studios were cancelled and reorganized into 20 studios and four studio groups. Each studio group is independently responsible for independent research and development of game products. Development and operation.

This adjustment is not a simple split and merger, but a kind of resource integration and business allocation.

Its impact is very huge, or it can be said to be a catastrophe for external independent studios. When Penguin Games did not have so many business outsourcing, a large number of independent studios had to start "PUBG Mobile".

However, these wild studios waiting to be fed were not the first to be acquired.

As a veteran game player, Yang Baofu's first goal is to create a domestically produced RPG game masterpiece "Jin Yong Qun Xia Biography" Heluo studio.

none of them!

Heluo Studio, led by Xu Changlong, was established inside Zhiguan in 1993, and in 1996 launched the first part of the Heluo trilogy: "Jin Yong's Heroes".

In the market where inferior games were rampant at that time, "The Legend of Jin Yong's Heroes" quickly became famous thanks to the high acceptance of Jin Yong's martial arts and excellent game design and achieved good returns.

As "The Legend of Jin Yong's Heroes" became popular, the studio immediately invested in the development of its sequel, and then launched the highly acclaimed "Legend of Martial Arts" in August 2001.

Since then, the situation has changed dramatically, and the stand-alone game market has collapsed rapidly and violently, and the market has shrunk to one-third of its original size in less than three years.

With the rapid deterioration of the external environment, Heluo Studio had no alternative but to hurriedly develop and complete "The Legend of the Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" within a year.

At the end of the Heluo trilogy, it also announced the end of its own historical mission. Xu Changlong officially left Zhiguan Technology, followed by Xu Changlong's Oriental Calculus also announced its dissolution the following year.

In a sense, the China First Studio, which created many childhood game dreams, has closed down.

In a blink of an eye it was more than ten years later.

During the Spring Festival of a certain year, old Xu, who was far from the front line of game development, accidentally thought of "The Legend of Martial Arts" at home, and tried a Google search for keywords, but unexpectedly found that this game that has been almost completely forgotten in Wanwan is on Baidu Tieba still has a certain degree of popularity, and the dream of making games is rekindled.

This is not only the feelings of the players, but also the feelings of people like Old Xu.

Therefore, on March 17, 2014, Xu Changlong registered Heluo Game Co., Ltd., and announced that he would use modern technology to remake the original "Wulin Heroes Legend" under the name of "New Martial Arts Heroes".

In April this year, "The Legend of New Wulin Heroes" was finally renamed "The Legend of Heroes" and was released.

If it is a general passionate and inspirational story, "The Legend of the Knight" should be the perfect ending to shine and rekindle the passion of the past.

However, things backfired.

After the release of "The Legend of Heroes", a lawyer's letter was sent to Heluo Studio. In the letter, Zhiguan Technology accused Heluo of infringing on Zhiguan's copyright in the reproduction of "The Legend of Heroes".

Subsequently, the former owner of the Heluo studio appealed to the court for a claim of NT$24 million.

After conversion, the Chinese currency is 5.2 million.

It was drizzle for Kleist, but Heluo Studio was poor.

It was originally a project that used love to generate electricity. Old Xu's savings had already been invested in the development of the game, and where the money was paid.

Heluo Studio is in an unprecedented crisis.

At this time, Miaomiao Games’ acquisition plan for them became an irresistible road to survival.

Moreover, Miaomiao Games went to Wanwan to talk about the person in charge of the acquisition. When chatting, they talked freely. When they talked about interesting places in the trilogy, they would have a fascinating smile on their faces and claimed to have cleared more than fifteen times.

Obviously the NC fan of the Heluo trilogy.

The fans came to save himself, and Old Xu almost cried.

The acquisition of Heluo Studio, Meowmeow Games cost 30 million, which is about 120 million NT dollars.

In addition, it also spent 20 million to buy all the related copyrights of the Heluo Trilogy from Zhiguan Technology.

Heluo Studio has experienced more than ten years of ups and downs, and its personnel composition is polarized. Some are old developers, some are new talents in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and most of them have work and study experience in major foreign companies.

This time it was acquired by a mainland game company. Some people chose to follow, and some people found another way out.

Just move.

There are various economic downturns, and there is nothing to miss.

Of course, the industry is not very optimistic about this acquisition.

Cat Factory is no longer an obscure player in the domestic Internet industry. The news of the establishment of Miaomiao Game spread throughout the entire game industry.

However, at the beginning, everyone thought that the original intention of Miaomiao game was to operate FGO as an agent.

After all, Station M recently got the agency of FGO.

No one expected that they ran to Wanwan and bought the Grandpa's Heluo studio.

Heluo Studio distributed a new tour in April, and it was in crisis in June. It has been almost two months now. If it was so valuable, it would have been swarmed and bought.

In fact, Heluo Studio is also trying to solve this crisis by returning to Smart Crown Technology.

But Zhiguan Technology is not interested in stand-alone games at all. His main business is now acting as an agent. The more famous ones include World of Warcraft, Perfect World and so on.

People who don't want you want your money.

If you want to acquire Heluo Studio, this is obviously the best opportunity.

But Heluo Studio is too old.

Their products do not have broad value.

Moreover, the purchase amount reached 30 million.

Heluo is not even worth twenty million.

But in any case, everyone can feel the immense ambition of the game.

This is obviously going to take the route of independent research and development~www.wuxiaspot.com~ More than forty people, men and women, young and old, came to Heluo Studio this time, and they got into a bus when they got off the plane.

The closer they get to the destination, the more nervous these people are.

This time they are also considered to have left their hometowns. If there is no accident, some people may take their families back.

The treatment promised here is enough to make their home in a strange city.

However, commitment is one thing, and no one knows what the real situation will be.

And the root of everyone's anxiety was that Klester's promise was so good that they doubted its authenticity.

Not to mention the salary package, they actually have to increase their research and development efforts here, let them strive to make a Chinese masterpiece comparable to The Witcher 3, Odyssey, Red Dead Redemption, and GTA5.
