Time Travel: 2014

In a sense, for the people of this time and space, it is not an exaggeration to call Lin Hui a "prophet".

In addition to the advantage of being a "prophet", Lin Hui also has great advantages on the technical level.

On a technical level, Lin Hui's biggest advantage is its advantage in game engines.

Even if you have good ideas about games, it will be difficult to put them into practice without the help of a powerful game engine.

Although games can still be developed without a game engine, the workload involved in specific development has increased dramatically.

Especially for the development of more complex games, it is common for a project to take time without the help of a powerful game engine.

In my previous life, I often heard news that a certain game company had incidentally solved the game engine in the process of developing games.

It’s not about how powerful these game companies are, but to a large extent they have no choice but to do so.

If given the choice, no game development company would waste time developing a game engine.

When it comes to future updates and derivative versions of "HILL CLIMB RACING", although it won't take Super Cell a few years.

But there are many things that Lin Hui can accomplish overnight, and it will take at least ten years for Super Cell to follow up.

Xun Yu’s follow-up speed is not slow, but for a game known for its core gameplay, the faster the update iteration, the easier it is to attract experienced players.

Based on the above two points, Lin Hui feels that if he really adopts differentiated management, Lin Hui will have a huge advantage.

Although the current topic raised by super cells is that they have no idea about the domestic area.

But Lin Hui felt that was not necessarily the case. After all, anything could happen during the negotiation.

In the unlikely event that something unexpected happens, Super Cell may be interested in the domestic version of the game "HILL CLIMB RACING" again.

These are all things for later.

Thinking of the game engine, Lin Hui suddenly thought of something.

In this time and space, is the reason why the game "Boom Island" has not been released yet because of the game engine?

Although this might be the reason, Lin Hui felt that it was unlikely.

After all, many things about the game "Boom Island" are somewhat similar to "Clash of Clans".

It makes no sense that a super cell that can handle Clash of Clans can't handle Boom Beach.

The reason why the game "Boom Island" did not appear in this time and space may be because the company Super Cell was thinking in another direction when it was working on new projects.

It is also possible that Super Cell has no plans to develop new games in a short period of time since the launch of "Clash of Clans".

A game company has no plans to develop new games?

It may sound funny.

But with Super Cell, it's possible.

After all, the game "Clash of Clans" has brought Super Cell no less than two billion dollars in revenue since its inception.

In the face of such huge profits, developing new games is both risky and expensive.

It is possible for a developer to be reluctant to rest on his laurels.

Having said that, if you can rest on your laurels, you must have capital.

Super Cell obviously has the capital to rest on its laurels.

Two billion dollars in revenue is not the ultimate level for "Clash of Clans".

Lin Hui remembers that the total revenue of the game "Clash of Clans" in his previous life exceeded 5.5 billion US dollars.

This is so outrageous. Lin Hui remembers that one heavy-driven ship in a certain country only costs 5 to 6 billion yuan. US$5.5 billion seems to be enough for 6 heavy-driven ships.

If the two games "Clash of Clans" and "Clash of Clans: Royal Clash" were added together as a company in the previous life of Super Cell, the revenue would have exceeded 10 billion US dollars.

"Clash of Clans: Royal Clash" is a game based on card battles.

In this game players assemble their own decks.

Each deck contains 8 cards. Play online battles. If you win the 1V1 battle, you can get gold coins, trophies and treasure chests. If you lose, the trophy will be deducted.

Each treasure chest contains random types of cards.

The main game mode is to randomly find opponents in 1v1 to increase the number of cups to advance to a higher arena (or a higher league level).

In addition, a 2v2 game mode is also available, and special modes (party) and challenges are regularly launched.

In the game, the holy water mechanism is adopted, and the maximum amount of holy water is 10.

Players can use the holy water during the game to summon and use their own cards to attack their opponents.

Cards are divided into three types: armies, buildings, and spells.

When certain cards or units attack enemy units, they will cause stops, slowdowns, etc., making the gameplay more varied.

The rules of the game are not complicated, and it doesn't seem to be difficult to figure out.

It is worth mentioning the game "Clash of Clans: Royal Clash", although this game looks like a sequel to "Clash of Clans" from the name.

But its core gameplay is nothing like "Clash of Clans".

Speaking of which, if Lin Hui works on "Boom Island", there may be a risk of colliding with the project being developed by Super Cell.

But if Lin Hui wants to play "Clash of Clans: Clash Royale", there is absolutely no risk of crashing.

After all, the previous game "Clash of Clans: Clash Royale" only came out in early 2016.

Even if the project started earlier than the game was officially released.

It is unlikely that the project would start now in 2014.

Although there is absolutely no risk of crashing when remaking "Clash of Clans: Clash Royale".

But the trouble is that the IP used in the game "Clash of Clans: Clash Royale" is completely the IP of the previous game "Clash of Clans".

If Lin Hui wants to reproduce this game, the IP will be difficult to pass.

Foreign game companies have always attached great importance to IP.

Judging from some public information, Super Cell is a company that carefully protects the IP of the game "Clash of Clans".

In this case, it is almost impossible for Lin Hui to seek IP authorization.

Instead, the game "Clash of Clans: Clash Royale" can be reskinned.

But without the foundation of the mature IP of "Clash of Clans", can the success of the previous game "Clash of Clans: Clash Royale" be reproduced?

Changing the skin means saying goodbye to the mature fan base of the game "Clash of Clans".

In this case, Lin Hui feels that even if this game is released, it will be difficult to replicate the success of the year.

There seems to be another way besides this method.

Since Super Cell has the intention to recruit Lin Hui.

If Lin Hui really enters the super cell, it seems that there will be no problem using the IP of "Clash of Clans".

Then it is logical to develop "Clash of Clans: Royal Clash"

But what good would this do to Lin Hui?

Colleagues are enemies, and Lin Hui seems to have no need to help Super Cell.

However, it is not completely impossible for Lin Hui to help Super Cell develop this game in advance.

Need more money!

And it adds a lot of money.
