321. Online game plan (additional updates for Tianyitian)

"It's not just a question of the soundtrack," Li Lanyun frowned, "The impact of "God of War Wukong" is really not easy to tune. It has always been a core difficulty and has not been solved yet."

"Yeah..." Cao Yang nodded.

In fact, the main reason is that the stick has a bad feeling of hitting. Who made Sun Wukong use the Ruyi Golden Cudgel? The stick gives people the feeling of being boring.

Heavy is not heavy, nor is it sharp, so the sense of strike is the most difficult to adjust among all weapons.

"But even so, we have to bite the bullet and adjust it well. If the feel and impact of this game stick cannot be felt, then there is no need to go on." Cao Yang said.

"Um."

Li Lanyun felt a tightness in her heart and felt unprecedented pressure.

"God of War·Wukong" and "Gun Girl" were launched at about the same time. Now "Gun Girl" has been launched and has achieved results. "God of War·Wukong" is still a semi-finished product.

The R&D team is obviously the same strength, and the engine and technology they use are the same, but the development progress of "God of War Wukong" is really slow.

It is conceivable how different the difficulty of debugging these two games are.

The shooting experience of "Gun Girl" can also be found in some relatively mature masterpieces for reference. After all, shooting games are a relatively large category in the world. Omes especially like games in this category. Whether it is Half Life or Battlefield, Call of Duty series, the game can produce very high quality, so Gun Girl does not actually have that much pressure in debugging the feel.

But there is basically no place to copy "God of War·Wukong". Even if you look for a martial arts film from Xiangjiang, you will find that the stick is knocked empty, but the damage power is not as strong as imagined. It is not as sharp as the Assassin's Soul, and it gives you a feeling that you will die if you stab it.

So the impact of the stick is really hard to make.

The entire team racked their brains for this and did not come up with a particularly good solution.

However, after Cao Yang gave the death order, everyone could only follow suit and extend as much as possible to see if there are any other paths to follow.

Li Lanyun recorded this request and continued to sort out Bomi's game content.

"If we count the "Gears of War" produced by EPIC, our company has almost released a one-and-a-half-one new game this year."

Cao Yang laughed silently when he heard his words, "This is definitely impossible to calculate. After all, EPIC itself is relatively independent. We just said that we have invested in part and have no actual control over the power."

However, for Bomi, EPIC earnings means Bomi earnings.

It's just a matter of how much it earns.

"Gears of War" released by EPIC this time is really amazing. It directly broke the sales record of shooting games. So far, it has sold more than 6.8 million sets worldwide, which has broken the highest record of "Gears of War" in previous life.

If this momentum continues, by 2021, it may not be possible to exceed 9 million.

"Then we have no stand-alone games that have been released so far this year," said Li Lanyun.

"Um."

Cao Yang nodded.

This is also the reason why Chinese people are not willing to do stand-alone games, especially stand-alone masterpieces. The investment cost is high, the development cycle is long, and they may not necessarily make more money from online games.

If it weren't for the support of such a wide user group as the Aier Games platform, the stand-alone market would have long declined.

Fortunately, the explosion of "Gun Girl" continues to continue the myth of domestic stand-alone games, allowing more domestic game development teams to see hope. So far, more and more domestic games are listed on the AIR game platform.

...

"Then... about our company's online games," Li Lanyun continued to jump to PPT, and a row of game names appeared on the next page.

"Now, in addition to the old games before maintenance, several studios also have many new products that have been incubated."

Cao Yang looked up and took a look.

There are 5 items listed above:

"Three Kingdoms Online2", "Journey to the West", "Zhu Xian", "Flying Dragon Knights", "Age of Discovery Online"

In fact, it is understandable that capital expansion and reproduction are like this. Anyway, if you make money, then continue to operate.

"The game "Three Kingdoms Online2" is equivalent to a renovated version of Three Kingdoms Online." Li Lanyun explained one by one, "Because the production of Three Kingdoms Online has been relatively long, and now four years have passed, many technologies have been iterating. Whether in terms of picture style or quality, Three Kingdoms Online is a bit out of date, so we are planning to re-made it and replace it with new art resources, and then the name is Three Kingdoms Online2, which will actually be used to replace the old Three Kingdoms Online. Just like the sword network series of Xishanju."

"Yeah." Cao Yang nodded.

He still agrees with this approach, because the game has its own life cycle. In fact, the Three Kingdoms Online has been in service for a long time, and players are also starting to lose. If the decline rate continues, it is expected that the game will be closed by 2008.

It’s better to take advantage of the fact that the game still has a large number of loyal fans, and to improve the picture and quality while retaining the original gameplay.

"We will replace art resources at that time, and the player's database will be completely retained," Li Lanyun explained. "It's just that for commercial purposes, we will use the name of Three Kingdoms Online2 at that time, so that everyone will think it is a new game and will be more attractive."

Cao Yang agrees with Li Lanyun's idea. Humans have the mentality of being fond of the new and getting tired of the old. If you tell players that this game is just a replacement of art resources based on the original Three Kingdoms online, then do you think this is an old game?

Even if the old ship is renovated, people still think it is an old ship in their subconscious mind, so many new players will not be willing to try to play old games. This is equivalent to so many people in the player circle, which does not play a good role in injecting fresh blood.

But if you change it directly to the name Three Kingdoms online2, the feeling will be completely different. Players will think that this is a new game, and young people will also want to try it.

"No problem." Cao Yang nodded and said, "Is this game started to start? At what time is expected to be completed?"

"It has been started," Li Lanyun said with a smile, "It will be completed in about two years, and it is expected that the internal test of deletion will be started by around the first half of 2008."

"Um."

In terms of life cycle, it is actually a little too late. The world is changing rapidly. By 2008, I don’t know what the situation was.

However, if it is a game with emotion, it can probably transition to 2008 perfectly and then take over.

The Sword Net series of Xishanju is a typical example. Now, Jian Net 3 has been developed for several years. By the time it can be launched, it will probably be around 2008.

Maybe it may not be available in 2008.

"Yes." Cao Yang nodded. In fact, he was not particularly anxious.

"Journey to the West, this is a horizontal game," said Li Lanyun. "It is mainly a new game incubated within the Journey to the West studio group, but the specific gameplay is based on the "Three Kingdoms War Chronicle" on the arcade."

"Um?"

Hearing this, Cao Yang's eyes suddenly lit up.

The "Three Kingdoms War Chronicles" on the arcade is really so classic. The horizontal pass game released in 1999 is my childhood.

At least for Cao Yang, a post-80s generation, the Three Kingdoms War Chronicles really accompanied him through the most wonderful time in his life.

"Wait, pass the horizontal version?" Cao Yang frowned.

"Yes." Li Lanyun paused for a moment, silently observing the expression on Cao Yang's face. Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, he added, "I think there is no such thing as this category. We want to make a horizontal 2D action online game that passes the level. In this game, except for the different combat methods and other MMOs, in terms of cultivation, upgrading, and social interaction, we will learn from the current Fantasy Westward Journey, and bring the mature cultivation system and economic system."

"No...I have no doubts, just let it go."

Cao Yang laughed silently, it was not because of something else.

But [2D online game that passes the horizontal version] reminds him of a particularly powerful game -

DNF.

Dungeons and Warriors are affectionately called poisonous milk powder by players because of the pinyin of DNF.

DNF in his previous life was introduced from Bangzi by Penguin in 2008. There are no penguins in this world, only Bomi, so DNF has not yet entered China.

However, this game was actually born very early, and in 2005, Hanguo Neople Company had already developed this product.

However, in the past life, domestic agents were not very optimistic about it, so Penguin got a big advantage. Who knew that after Penguin was agented in the 2008, this game actually became one of the three most popular online games at that time, competing for the top three sales list with World of Warcraft and Fantasy Westward Journey.

Poisonous milk powder players are spread all over the country, and novels with this theme are emerging one after another.

You can imagine how powerful the money-making ability of this game is.

Thinking of this, Cao Yang said to Li Lanyun, "Brother Yun, although there is no horizontal pass game in China, as far as I know, there is already a game called Dungeon and Warriors in Han Country. You can refer to it a little when you do it."

"Yes, OK." Li Lanyun recorded Boss Cao's words in his notebook.

However, Cao Yang thought about it and denied his thoughts just now, "Brother Yun, in this way, our own "Journey to the West" will continue to develop, but you can find someone to communicate with the Bangzi Kingdom to see if you can obtain the exclusive agent of the Dungeon and the Warriors.

In this way, we have two horizontal versions of the game. Moreover, because the style and theme are different, there will be certain differences in the audience, so we can occupy this market in advance.

If I go late, I'm afraid that the dungeon and the Warriors will be signed away by someone else."

"Okay." Although I don't know why Boss Cao valued this game so much, Li Lanyun still recorded it carefully.

Since the boss thinks this game is amazing, it must have its own outstanding features.

Speaking of which, if the game named "Dungeons and Warriors" is really successful in its agency, it will become the first non-self-developed game for Bomi.

The boss attaches so much importance to it, it seems that this game is really not simple.

"The game "Zhu Xian" is an MMORPG game that we adapted with the copyright of the novel "Zhu Xian", or a benchmark against the Xishan Ju Jianwang series. At the same time, it integrates into the social and life system that is more mature than Fantasy Westward Journey, and makes some small innovations and changes, character skills design, and styling, we will make some new attempts."

"Zhu Xian" is a novel created by contemporary writer Xiao Ding.

The book began to be published on China's Treasure Island in March 2003, and then after Bomi acquired Singularity Chinese Network last year, he bought Zhuxian.

So since May last year, Xiao Ding's "Zhu Xian" has been changed to serialization on Singularity Chinese.

The novel is themed "The world is not kind, and all things are straw dogs". It tells the story of the growth experience of an ordinary young man Zhang Xiaofan at the foot of Qingyun Mountain. The whole novel is ingeniously conceived and magnificent, opening up a unique and charming legendary world of the Eastern Immortal God legend. The plot is ups and downs, and the characters have distinct personalities. It brings together love, family, friendship and the magnificent battle between good and evil, and the battle between fate. It has beautiful writing and vivid stories.

It is known as the "Three Strange Books of the Internet" together with the novels "Piaomiao Journey" and "Legend of the Little Soldiers", and is also known as the "Marriage Bible of the Post-Jin Yong era".

With the support of Bomi, Singularity Chinese Network now needs money, technology, and people need people, so it quickly signed contracts and bought many big-name authors through various purchases, buying, buying, and buying. In more than a year, Singularity Chinese Network has now firmly occupied the position of the leader in the online literature industry.

So this time, Bomi and Bomi Literature have been jointly developed with their works under Bomi Literature, which is natural.

Cao Yang agreed with Li Lanyun's decision 100%.

"It's pretty good." Cao Yang said, "This game must be done well. If you encounter any problems, you can't solve them, please contact me in time.
