Chapter 989 [You can’t just play out all the good cards in your hand]

The living room on the first floor of the villa. Tian Jiayi sat on the sofa and started taking notes, while Fang Hong was pacing back and forth in the living room and said methodically:

"First of all, this game should be a multiplayer online shooting game. Its basic gameplay is that at the beginning of the game, you need to choose a team. You can choose to join an existing team or create a new team yourself."

"There will be a map in the game. On the map, you need to constantly look for resources such as weapons and equipment, ammunition, medical kits, etc., and at the same time, pay attention to escaping attacks from other player teams."

"The map area will gradually shrink, and players need to reach the designated safe area within the specified time, otherwise they will be harmed."

“The player or team remaining at the end of each game is the winner.”

Fang Hong returned to the sofa and sat down next to Tian Jiayi. He continued to recall some of the mechanisms of the popular game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" in his past life memory and said:

“Up to 100 players can participate in the game at the same time. They will be dropped on an unknown wilderness map. They must survive in the shrinking safe zone and fight against other players until the last player or team is left. Victory, this exciting survival competition mode can give players a unique sense of accomplishment and challenge."

"The social interaction of this game should be very strong. In the game, players can team up with other players, or they can meet and compete with other people in the sandbox. This kind of multiplayer gameplay is very easy to attract players. Interaction and group competition also provide players with a platform to showcase their own operations and competition, which can cultivate a large number of professional anchors and gamer communities and enhance the social and interactive nature of the game."

Fang Hong cares so much about this game that he even takes action himself. It is because the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is so popular that it impressed him in his previous life, so it cannot fall into the hands of other platforms.

Since the previous version of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" was launched in 2017, its unique gameplay and exciting game experience have quickly attracted a large number of players. In just six or seven years, the number of users worldwide has exceeded the 300 million mark. , players around the world have played for more than 30 billion hours, and are still being refreshed.

These figures not only set new records in the gaming industry, but also prove the huge influence of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" on a global scale.

Therefore, this game must be released exclusively on the Game Box platform.

After a while, Fang Hong listed out all the creative ideas for the game. He provided the core creative gameplay. For the specific development, the professional game development team will develop and add details around the creative core.

"Oh, by the way, not only the PC port, but also the mobile version of this game will follow." Fang Hong immediately added.

"We are now preparing to establish the project, and there is a high probability that it will be launched before the end of the first half of 2016." Tian Jiayi said while memorizing. With "Honor of Kings" at the forefront, she now does not doubt Fang Hong's ability in game development. , I believe that the creativity of this new game will most likely produce results.

"No, this game will be released during the Spring Festival holiday of 2017." Fang Hong immediately denied it and added: "In 2016, next year, Blizzard Entertainment's "Overwatch" will be officially released and launched. I am very optimistic about this new game project. , let the game "Overwatch" take the spotlight in 2016."

Even if you have good cards, you can’t just play them out all at once. This year, the main new game in 2015 will be “The Witcher 3”, next year in 2016, the main new game will be “Overwatch”, and then in 2017, “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds” will be launched.

These popular games not only have great earning power, but can also bring tens of millions of new users to the platform.

However, it is worth mentioning that this type of battle royale game is not the first of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", but "H1Z1" developed by Daybreak, which was released on the Steam platform in January this year.

The content of the game is that players are born more than ten years after the outbreak of the zombie virus and need to survive. Players can build towns and fortresses in the game by themselves, and produce many weapons to meet people's needs.

The gameplay of this game is very novel compared to previous gun games, and it has been sought after by many players shortly after its release this year.

However, "H1Z1" is not launched in China, so domestic players can only play on foreign servers.

And right now, there is a "Sequoia Army" team composed of domestic players in this game. They wear red clothes and communicate with each other through in-game voice to see if they are Chinese. They will also confirm passwords. What "The King of Heaven Covers the Land" Code words such as "Tiger", "Sing the national anthem", "Which company has the best excavator technology".

If the codes match and they are confirmed to be Chinese, they will help each other. If not, the players will go on a killing spree.

The emergence of Sequoia Legion was brought about by a domestic anchor, because in previous games, domestic players were often ridiculed and discriminated against by foreign players for no reason, and it was difficult to play without unity.

So the Sequoia Legion appeared, and soon relied on the strength of the team to dominate the entire game.

Other foreign players are alone or in groups. Faced with the Sequoia Legion, which often has dozens or even hundreds of players grouping together for teamwork, foreign players are completely helpless.

Sometimes when surrounded by a group of Sequoia Army players, the first thing is to use the voice to match the code. If they don't match up, they will be killed on the spot. If they do, they will be given equipment or something, and they will become a member of the Sequoia Army team.

Domestic players have also found greater fun, as if they have opened the door to a new world, which is to form a team to bully foreign players, hang them up and beat them, which is a great experience.

Sometimes, when the Sequoia Army was chasing foreign players, they even made the outrageous operation of playing the Charge in the voice.

If Daybreak, the developer of "H1Z1", doesn't make mistakes, this game will definitely become more and more popular.

But he is stupid and often makes mistakes.

For example, they sold this game separately from "Lord of the Dead", and then tried to make a comeback in e-sports. As a result, they failed to complete the first season, and then laid off 70 employees, which is almost the total number of employees of the company. About 30%.

An even more stupid operation is to launch a zone-locking behavior on players in the Greater China region, causing players attracted by the Sequoia Army to lose their targets.

At this time, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" appeared. This game perfectly matched the right time, place, and people, and perfectly hosted these domestic players. After belatedly, Daybreak realized the problem and quickly unlocked the region, but it was already too late. .

At the end, Fang Hong looked at Tian Jiayi and added: "In addition, this game must achieve high image quality and low configuration. It must not be too hardware-hungry and can run smoothly on computers in Internet cafes. To achieve this, it can only rely on new The technology is good, Quantitative Capital should urge Chen Yu to speed up the progress of the Frost engine project, and this game will be produced using the AI ​​engine."

Quantitative Capital is working on the underlying technology, and the game engine is left to Chen Yu.

Fang Hong actually wanted to buy Unreal Engine directly at first, but this game engine was acquired by Goose Factory three years ago. Other game engines are either not very good, or the acquisition is troublesome, and the opportunity may be missed.

So Fang Hong simply let Chen Yu's quantitative capital start the business on his own, and this was how the Frost Engine project was born.
