Be a goddess from Tokyo

Chapter 519 Final Fantasy

After posting six songs in a row, Luo Quan started the live broadcast in the room steadily, stealing half a day's leisure.

In order to record songs these days, I haven’t started live broadcast much. With so many ways of working, it is really easier to sit in front of the computer and broadcast live for everyone.

She has already recorded the remaining four songs, but they will not release them together until the early hours of the day after tomorrow.

And the days of continuous high temperature will probably end in two days, and it will be the day when the crew will resume work.

Taking advantage of the free time in these few days, Luo Quan also broadcast live for a while, so as not to make the fans too lonely.

As for the content of the live broadcast, Luo Quan also lost his dream after playing some "revenge on society" games.

These games are interesting, but sometimes they can really kill your anger. There is no need to find anger for yourself after a good rest time.

Speaking of games in this world, there are not many 3A masterpieces, and the picture quality is really touching.

However, just like in the previous life, the quality of foreign games is far superior to domestic ones, many companies and studios are thriving, and excellent masterpieces are emerging in endlessly.

And just a few days ago, Yuju Company announced that they had developed a powerful game engine called "Frost Snow Flower", and the quality of the games made with it had a qualitative leap compared to other games!

This news immediately detonated game forums at home and abroad. After watching the demo video, everyone was saying that a new era of video games is coming.

As a base camp for young people, station B naturally has a lot of online games that like to play games. When Luoquan started broadcasting today, fans also asked her to talk about it.

"Where is the outlet for Huaxia Games?" Luo Quan wanted to laugh when he saw this question, and for a moment he really didn't know what to say.

After thinking about it, she said in a deep voice:
"Currently domestic end games and stand-alone games are basically stuck on Xianxia, ​​role-playing is Xianxia, ​​action fighting is Xianxia, ​​and even shooting games use Xianxia theme.

Obviously, the sales and word-of-mouth are not very good, which means that this road will not work, and we should change our strategy in time and find a way out for each. "

These words immediately sparked discussions in the barrage:
"The theme of Xianxia is for cultural export. If it is done well, it will definitely allow foreigners to understand our Chinese culture."

"It's a pity that the work is really not very good, the action is stiff, the plot is low-level, and the special effects only know about light pollution."

"Domestic stand-alone games are a dead end, and this environment cannot be saved."

"At least our mobile game industry is still quite developed, definitely number one in the world!"

………………

"Haha, our mobile games are really good. It is said that the east is not bright and the west is bright." Luo Quan's laughter was full of ridicule, "As for stand-alone games, I believe there is still a market in China, and if we do If it is good, you can make money selling it abroad.

The key question is whether the quality of the game produced can reach the level that players will buy it.

I think a lot of people pay special attention to a cultural output. This is completely a castle in the air for the current domestic game industry. The foundation has not been laid. Why do you want to go to the next level? "

Speaking of this, Luo Quan chuckled: "I haven't achieved any cultural output with my influence. It is too difficult to expect to use a game to output."

As a Chinese, she definitely hopes to promote traditional Chinese culture so that foreigners can understand the beauty of China.

But the way she can output is also relatively limited. In most cases, she can only use songs, and sometimes she can wear Hanfu and take photos.

When I sang "Princess" before, I did export a lot of culture, and I asked foreign fans to search for relevant knowledge.

However, this knowledge is also temporary. Once the popularity of the song passes, not many people care about it.

Therefore, this task is a long way to go for all Chinese people with international influence.

"Of course, I'm not saying that no one can do a good job of cultural output, such as YouTube blogger Wang Xiaojiu." Luo Quan took the most famous Chinese person on YouTube as an example, "She just wears Hanfu to shoot some rural areas. Videos of life posted on Youtube may seem nothing special to us, but they are still popular abroad.

In the final analysis, Wang Xiaojiu's video is good, and others are willing to watch it.

Since they are willing to watch, then these people also agree to be willing to learn more about it. In this way, won’t there be cultural export?This is the correct way to open it! "

It was a long speech, and the barrage was full of voices of approval.

The truth is actually very simple sometimes, but what is lacking is someone who can explain it thoroughly and convince the public.

"So does Luo Bao have any good suggestions for the current plight of domestic games?"

"This question is a bit out of line, and Luo Quan is not a gamer."

"You should ask Penguin and NetEase this question. These are the two leading players in domestic games. Only when they support domestic games can there be hope."

"It's okay, let's destroy it. I don't want to see the VIP interface for the first charge of 6 yuan to play a single player."

........................

"Um, what about this matter." Luo Quan scratched his head, some words were really difficult to say.

After all, she has a very close relationship with Penguin now, and the cooperation between the two parties has always been very pleasant, and it is not suitable for live broadcasting or yin and yang.

But the key point is that what Penguin is doing in the game now is really something, and I don't know what to say other than spraying.

"I can only say that there is still hope. If there is really no good stand-alone machine, I can give you a few to enjoy it." Luo Quan said in a half-joking tone.

As early as a few months ago, she made up her mind to expand the business of Quanshui Entertainment Company. The media is one aspect, and now games are temporarily added.

It's not a well-thought-out decision, but it's not completely without a plan. Many businesses actually have homework to copy.

As for the stand-alone game she mentioned, she only talked about the word "stand-alone" and didn't say it was 3A.

She still knows a lot of low-cost and fun stand-alone games, such as The Binding of Isaac, Plants vs. Zombies, Angry Birds, etc., which are not available in this world.

Although it is not as shocking as foreign 3A, it is definitely not bad in fun and can help the company make a good start in the game business.

However, the fans obviously misunderstood what Luo Quan meant, and they all thought that Luo Quan was announcing that he was going to enter the 3A industry, and they immediately started celebrating.

Looking at the bullet screen full of words: domestic 3A has hope, she suddenly felt like riding a tiger.

Me, my sister said to do 3A!

Luo Quan wanted to cry at this moment, but couldn't.

The terrible thing is that this matter soon appeared on Zhihu and Weibo's hot searches, and it became known all over the Internet. At this time, Luo Quan's clarification essay hadn't even been written halfway.

Whether it's Zhihu's answer or Weibo's comments, they are all optimistic about Luo Quan, hoping that she can make a 3A masterpiece to show game studios across the country and teach them how to make games!
Today, netizens have developed a habit of trusting Luo Quan unconditionally, thinking that she is omnipotent and can do anything.

For her, this is good and bad.

Before she overturned, she was a perfect goddess.

But if the car overturns, it will fall to the altar, without the slightest fault tolerance rate.

"Hey, where did you get so much time?" Luo Quan looked at the trending searches with a headache, not knowing what to do.

True, she was worried about where she got so much time, not what to do.

A mere 3A, as long as she has time, she can definitely develop it by spending a lot of money to gather it. She has a lot of ideas in her mind, and each of them is a masterpiece that subverts the current video game landscape.

However, making a game is much more labor-intensive than making an album or making a movie. It can be as fast as a year, or as slow as two or three years. She doesn't want to spend time on this.

Just when she was wondering whether to confess to the excited netizens, an email in her mailbox attracted her attention.

"Hi Luoquan, I am the person in charge of Huaxia Unreal Studio. We heard that you are interested in making a domestic 3A game, and the Unreal Engine we developed has a great advantage in making 3A games. Maybe we can borrow This is an opportunity to discuss cooperation matters.”

A demo animation made by the studio with its own engine is attached below the email.

The picture quality can be said to be quite good, and the character movements are far smoother than those of domestic stand-alone games.

But this is just a demonstration video, and it doesn't fully prove its actual effect.

This kind of good thing that someone handed her a pillow when she was sleepy didn't make her happy for too long. After all, there are so many liars in society now, who knows if it's true.

"Where is your studio, I'll bring someone over to see it right away." Luo Quan replied to an email like this, and decided to do a field trip first.

"Lin'an City, Jiangnan Province..." The address was also given immediately.

It's quite a coincidence that they are all in Jiangnan Province.

Without further ado, Luo Quan immediately brought two employees who were familiar with computers, and rushed to this unreal studio by high-speed train.

I originally thought that the office of this studio was in an office building, but it turned out to be in an old one-story warehouse, with more than 50 programmers knocking on the computer desk.

The office space is quite spacious and has air-conditioning, but the decoration is a bit rough and the floor is not particularly clean.

"The economic situation of the studio is not very good, so the expenses in all aspects are relatively simple." The person in charge is called Li Jiang, but he is also very frank. The performance is absolutely trustworthy!"

"How does it compare to Frost and Snow Flower?" Luo Quan didn't know much about this aspect either, but some time ago, the engines made by this foreign company were very popular, and she had heard of some of them.

"We are not as good as them in terms of light and shadow processing, and the picture quality is slightly lower, but the advantage is that the operation steps are simplified a lot, so the production time of games of the same level will be saved a lot.

In addition, if the funds are sufficient, the picture quality is not completely unable to catch up with Frost Snow Flower, mainly because the studio is indeed facing difficulties now, and if the investment is not returned to blood, then..." Li Jiang showed an embarrassed expression, and a big The gang programmer stood behind the boss, and his expression was not natural.

"Boss Li, how could he expose all his weaknesses as soon as the negotiations came up." Luo Quan smiled, thinking that this programmer was really straightforward, but he was also satisfied with the candor he always exuded.

"By the way, your engine is so good, you shouldn't be unable to attract investment in the country, right?" Luo Quan was curious about this, so he asked.

"Penguin did look for us before, but we all rejected them." Li Jiang snorted coldly, "At the beginning, our brothers couldn't understand Penguin's style in the game industry, so we planned to make our own engine and game. .

Although life is hard, we all have faith and pursuit. Even if the engine is sold cheaply to foreigners, we will never sell it to penguins! "

Looking at these boys with disheveled hair and unshaven beards, Luo Quan couldn't help but want to give them a thumbs up.

She has always wanted to do cynical things, but sometimes the interests are too involved, and she keeps silent most of the time.

In this regard, she is really not as pure as these "big boys".

"Introduce this engine to me." Luo Quan finally expressed his willingness to invest in this project and put forward a request for inspection.

Li Jiang's expression lifted, and he brought Luo Quan to the computer: "Actually, we started using Unreal Engine to make the stand-alone game we had planned a long time ago—"Legend of Sword and Heroes" as soon as it was finished."

"I can't live with the theme of Xianxia." Luo Quan complained, "This theme has killed so many studios, and you really don't believe in evil."

Li Jiang smiled awkwardly: "After all, this is the dream of most boys since they were young. Apart from Xianxia or Wuxia, or the Three Kingdoms, what other topics can there be?"

"You more than 50 employees, how are you doing in game development?" Luo Quan asked bluntly.

Li Jiang patted his chest, and said loudly: "Original painter, modeler, action designer, you basically have what you need, and the technology is definitely not far behind that of the big factories. The key is that the funds are not enough now. , In addition, there are fewer people, and the output cannot be increased.”

"Technology but no output, right?" Luo Quan nodded, and took out a pen from his pocket.

Of course, holding a pen is not to write a check, although it is very cool to do so.

"I'll let the professionals see if your engine is as powerful as you said later. If there is no problem, I would like to sign with your Unreal Studio to help me make a game without Unreal Engine.

I dare not say anything else, but funding is definitely not a problem. High-end office buildings, world-class computers, and expanded manpower are not a problem!
The point is, your engine and your employees must have real materials! "

As she spoke, she put the pen on the table: "If there is no problem, the contract can be drawn up now, and after the inspection is completed, the contract can be signed immediately."

Hearing Luo Quan's straightforward words, Li Jiang and his brothers looked at each other, and finally cheered and hugged each other, weeping with joy.
