Game Dynasty

Chapter 175

Time flies, and I finally finished 2002 after stumbling around. 【】

During the month before and after Christmas, You International's actions in the entire online world can only be described as "dazzling".

First, it acquired a total of five development teams and teams involved in various types of games, and then threw a blockbuster, You's next game "Eternal Legend" will be handed over to a domestic operating company to operate.

Eternal Legend is a game created by Xi Xiaoding's development team in order to cooperate with Liu Xiang's speech at the first game industry summit after barely finishing the planning of "Future War".Well, fundamentally speaking, it is actually similar to a miracle...just adding two more occupations, some tasks and maps.In order to prevent people from complaining that you use the old engine to develop similar games, the engine team also slightly optimized the engine, and slightly changed the character modeling.Of course, if you are a miracle player, you will definitely find a sense of familiarity at first glance.

In view of the fact that everything is similar to off-the-shelf, the release date of "Eternal Legend" is basically set at this time in April 2003, which is about the same time as "Heroes".As for "Dream World", which Xu Bo patted his chest and said OK, it was completed at the end of December. If there is no accident, the internal test will be carried out in the latter part of New Year's Day in 03.

As for the game market, players who have been ridiculed by the major operators for being "spoiled by the grandchildren of You" will not be able to do so when Tianluo once again advertises the first full-free game. Once showed their god level.In addition to the hot posts on the Hero Century section on 17m every day, the forum is also full of enthusiasm, which makes Yuan Ye call Liu Xiang almost every day. He has been complaining about why Liu Xiang didn't adopt his proposal earlier. Opinions are also free to operate...

For the momentum of Hero Age, even though Liu Xiang was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by more than [-] discussions on the forum every day, which far exceeded the performance of any game when it was the most popular.

However, when Liu Xiang analyzed it carefully, he found that not all players were biting this Heroic Century like flies that saw meat.On the contrary, some players are quite sensible, a game called "Free, what can it bring us?" "The post with the title became a super hot post with more than 2000 replies in the past week.

I carefully took some time to look through this post, Liu Xiang is still quite relieved, there are still quite a few players who came to be sober, and spent a lot of money as an agent when QQ has become a chat tool that costs money to play tricks How can the game allow players to take advantage of it?However, if there are no attractive advantages and settings, how can it attract players to pay for a game that "doesn't require any points or monthly cards"?Therefore, the poster of this post clearly put forward a slogan to resist malicious props and props that destroy the balance of the game!

In fact, this is what Liu Xiang is worried about.

Facing the impact of Tianluo, a peer with a strong US dollar backing, which can become an "absolutely correct operation method" this time, it is inevitable that You's market share will decrease.Although a decrease in market share does not mean a decrease in revenue.But... Once players really accept the bloody operation method of "free", the national tour will fall into chaos again in the future. The operators' eyes are sharp!

Of course, for free, it will definitely be achieved in the end.But how and to what extent?It's not just Liu Xiang who is thinking, presumably all the operators who don't just want to make money and leave are thinking.

It's hard work like TV, you can't expect viewers and TV manufacturers to pay you.You can only make money through third-party advertisements. In fact, Liu Xiang also understands that only when the game fidelity can reach the scene described in the game novel, there is a difference between charging advertising fees and selling terminals and conducting real-life comparisons. Price dialogue can truly become a real free game that does not rely on selling props to make profits!

The road is long... in a painful search.

Except for the bomb that Tianluo dropped at the end of 02 to cover up You's aura, almost all other big moves came from You.

And the biggest one, I am afraid Shuyou International sued the South Korean developer, zto company.

After a month of preparation time, You finally filed a lawsuit against zto. At the same time, the China Game Industry Federation (g for short) also officially responded to the protest against the country raised by kg a month ago. The reply letter, in addition to In addition to refuting kg's nonsense last time, he also expressed his anger and regret at kg's unwise and irrational behavior.At the same time, the reply letter also pointed out that "g needs to reconsider the cooperation plan with Korean game manufacturers."

Naturally, this protest letter was published on 17w. On the day it was released, it received more than [-] comments, some of which were happy and worrying.

Anyway, with You's lawsuit and G's public protest, everyone knows that in 2003, China, the main battlefield of the world's game developers, will once again set off turbulent waves.

Liu Xiang, who finished his speech at the opening ceremony of the top ten contest in the draft, dragged his exhausted body back to You again.

"Actually, I don't understand why I am so tired as a boss?"

Sitting on Xi Xiaoding's desk, Liu Xiang watched Xi Xiaoding make tea for him, and suddenly said with emotion.

"Then what do you think the boss should look like?" Xi Xiaoding stood up, and carefully placed the gap on the desk. "Be careful, Dahongpao!"

"Taste!" Although Liu Xiang was not in the habit of drinking tea, he couldn't help praising Xi Xiaoding, but to Xi Xiaoding, this taste was like saying that he was extravagant and wasteful.

Rolling his eyelids, Xi Xiaoding counterattacked disdainfully: "Come on, I'm just that stupid in front of guys who drink luwk..."

"Please, that's just a personal gift from Miss Mry, okay? Besides, haven't you seen that my favorite drink is yogurt?"

"Well, yes, Mr. Yogurt, the tea is ready for you now. I know that you are not in the Three Treasures Palace. If you have anything to trouble your senior employee, just ask directly!"

Ahem... Liu Xiang completely lost his words with Xi Xiaoding.

During this period of time, Xi Xiaoding’s life can’t be described as carefree. After the preliminary setting of the future war has been finalized, all that remains is to wait for the engine to be completed. After all, the calculation of the formula can only be accurate after verification. Determine whether it is valid.

"It's nothing serious, just...can you rush Tom and the others? You know, I don't like to push people." Liu Xiang sighed, the turmoil caused by that damned kg must have made the domestic game developers feel. Pressure, of course, this pressure is also an opportunity.At present, the core engine of You has not been perfected for a long time, so that several development projects of You are in a state of waiting for rice to be cooked.

"Okay, actually, I'm also impatiently waiting. Didn't I tell you about the certain station last time? It's been acquired, and then the novel about the theme background has been outlined and started to write. Even, I shot The director of the background movie all thought of waiting for the engine to come out, and then quickly put it into development."

"Well, what about Fenglin's group? According to the report from the operation department, Dream Dancer is said to be quite popular, and related subsidiary products have also been developed and launched." Liu Xiang took a sip of his tea, snuffed his nose vigorously, "Have they handed over their new plan to you?"

"Not yet, but according to their group discussion, they are planning to develop a game suitable for e-sports, and they are currently discussing collectively."

"Suitable for e-sports?"

"Yeah." Xi Xiaoding nodded, "It's probably a fighting game or a cartoon version of a racing game."

"Cartoon racing car?" Liu Xiang was taken aback.Five big characters emerged in the heart one by one.

swimming! "

"Yeah, I think so too. Frankly speaking, after breaking with Korean games, I think that in the next two years, those leisure games with low development costs and short time will definitely take the lead!" Xi Xiaoding smiled wryly, "It's so bad At present, my confidence in whether the future world can adapt to the Chinese market in the next two years is somewhat shaken."

Liu Xiang was indifferent for a while.

Yes, the setting of the future world is a setting that Liu Xiang is not sure about!Not to mention whether players can accept this kind of duel from hot weapons and cold weapon magic, just thinking about the wow in the next two years... Liu Xiang also has a headache.

Although I have a Xi Xiaoding, compared to the glass slag, there are really too few talent-based planners that You lack.Moreover, fundamentally speaking, the current domestic planning is largely influenced by Korean kimchi.

"But it's the same thing. Anyway, we will focus on branding and word-of-mouth. Whether we can succeed in the market is another matter."

Hearing Xi Xiaoding's words, Liu Xiang's heart ached. Xi Xiaoding has never been the one to say such depressing words!

"Give me the settings carefully, maybe I can give some suggestions." Looking at Xi Xiaoding, Liu Xiang smiled.
