Reborn Game Producer

"Boss, the China Game Developers Conference has sent an invitation letter and wants to invite us as speakers." Wang Chong called Qian Xiaotian to tell Qian Xiaotian the news.

Qian Xiaotian was quite surprised. The Game Developers Conference, referred to as DGC, is the largest annual gathering of game developers. Thousands of game developers will attend the conference every year. The conference awards include the Best Game Award and the Best Soundtrack Award.

, eight awards including Best Sound Effects Award, Best Plot Design Award, Best Game Design Award, Best Visual Art Award, Most Potential Game, and Most Influential Game.

CDGC is the abbreviation of China Game Developers Conference and is the only branch of GDC in Asia. CGDC is hosted by UBMTechWeb Game Network. The characteristic of the conference is that all content is planned and formulated by an expert advisory group composed of local developers in China. They work together

Commitment and commitment to promote and support China's growing game industry, and enhance the current status of China's digital entertainment industry by introducing GDC's high-quality speech content and global community influence.

Many people may not know the Game Developers Conference in the past, but aJoy Game Show is very famous. aJoy is the same organizer and its headquarters is in London.

The hotel where Qian Xiaotian worked before had held some game exhibitions and even Internet conferences, but this time he attended as a game developer, so it naturally felt very different.

CGDC generally has venues for game design, game production, program development, business & marketing, as well as two major summits on digital products & tablet games, and independent games, tutorials and comprehensive sub-venues. The specific venues will change slightly according to the situation of the year.

Update: Before every year, CGDC will collect annual topics through the official website. Finally, the expert advisory group will plan and select, and formulate meaningful topics for discussion at the conference.

When Qian Xiaotian came to this world, he almost forgot that there was such a game conference. He didn't expect Ascendas Games to be invited after only releasing one game. But after thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Counter-Strike is so popular.

It’s unprecedented, and I’m fully qualified to participate, and maybe even get nominated for an award.

CS has been released for such a long time, and it has been rated by the media as the most popular game, the most popular game, the game with the most online users, etc.

Qian Xiaotian asked: "When is the conference?"

"Starting on August 1st, it will last for three days. It will be held at the Putong Kerry Hotel in the Magic City."

"There are still a few days left. When the time comes, you can join me and prepare relevant materials." Qian Xiaotian ordered.

Wang Chong replied: "Okay, boss, the production of Red Alert has been completed. When will we release it?"

"It just happens to be released at the developer conference. It can also be used for publicity. You should also prepare in advance."

In fact, it often takes months or even years to develop a game, mainly because it requires countless attempts and adjustments by the technical development team.

The main reason why Red Alert can be developed in such a short time is that Qian Xiaotian has a complete product in his memory and can just use it. It is equivalent to already having the answers to the exam questions and copying them directly from the paper, which is naturally many times faster.

"Boss, there's one more thing. Several games imitating Counter-Strike have appeared on the Internet. Should we go through legal proceedings?"

Qian Xiaotian was surprised and said: "What's going on?"

"Without TX in this world, would there still be companies that are good at imitating it?" Qian Xiaotian was a little confused.

After listening to Wang Chong’s explanation, I realized that it was not what I thought. It turned out that the popularity of Counter-Strike caused the popularity of FPS games. Many game companies followed suit, and many similar games appeared on the Internet. Most of them are shoddily made, and the better one is called Frontline Storm. It is only slightly better made, and is completely incomparable with Counter-Strike.

It's very simple. They can't make the game and the technology isn't up to it.

In fact, these games have not reached the level of copycats. They can only be said to be lessons. But in Wang Chong's opinion, they have violated the copyright of Counter-Strike and are blatant plagiarism.

Qian Xiaotian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The awareness of rights protection in this world is too strong. Just a little imitation will lead to legal proceedings. "You haven't seen TX's father's methods yet."

"How about the game?" he asked Wang Chong.

Wang Chong knew that the question he was asking was not how the game was, but how the market response was, so he replied: "There are tens of thousands of downloads, but the response is average and there is no popularity. It only highlights the excellent production of Counter-Strike."

"Then don't worry about it. It's just a clown. Put your experience on CDGC and Red Alert." Qian Xiaotian responded.

"Okay, boss."

Although Qian Xiaotian didn't take it seriously, he still searched for Frontline Storm on the Internet. It was similar to what Wang Chong said. There were very few related discussions, and it was mostly compared with CS.

It belongs to the "Well, this game is pretty good, so I choose Counter-Strike" series.

Several franchisees who have passed the review in the past few days have signed franchise contracts with Century Tianyu Internet Cafe, and the fees have been paid. They have been decorated under the guidance of Century Tianyu headquarters. The decoration plan and style are consistent with the previous decoration. company, this time the two parties have established a cooperative relationship, which can be regarded as mutually beneficial.

It is worth mentioning that Qian Xiaotian originally thought that the beautiful receptionist Yue Lingshan of the Internet cafe was capable of working and did an excellent job, and wanted her to open a branch in Beijing and become a store manager. But now the development strategy of the Internet cafe has changed, and Yue Lingshan has also joined the headquarters company. , responsible for some specific affairs of franchise stores and directly-operated stores. She studied marketing management in college and is considered a professional lip-sync talent.

Qian Xiaotian also needs to contact a computer manufacturer, which specializes in custom-made computers and accessories for Century Tianyu. All products will be stamped with Century Tianyu's unique LOGO, which will immediately distinguish them from other ordinary Internet cafes. It is very stylish.

In fact, all Internet cafes in the past had this design, and Century Tianyu also followed the same route as Internet cafes. However, it is still called an Internet cafe now, because there is no takeout or anything else, so it is not suitable for the concept of Internet cafes.

Century Tianyu's previous computers were provided by Jinke Digital in Computer City. The two parties had a very happy cooperation. Qian Xiaotian plans to continue to deepen the cooperation this time.

I called Mr. Li from Jinke Digital and informed me of the intention to cooperate. Mr. Li was very happy and asked Qian Xiaotian to meet and discuss it in detail. He originally gave up a large amount of profits to Qian Xiaotian’s Internet cafe, mainly because he was optimistic about Qian Xiaotian. Tian, ​​​​can be regarded as an investment. I didn't expect Qian Xiaotian's Internet cafe to develop so fast. It has already opened a nationwide chain. This is a large computer market.

And Qian Xiaotian also thought that Mr. Li was a good person, so he was willing to give him this opportunity, which would be more beneficial to both parties.
