Number One Game Designer

The last thing Fang Xi cared about in August was the official launch of the gaming platform.

Although Fang Xi did not solve the download problem of the game platform in the end, for the sake of his own layout, it is better to launch the platform now. When it is time to accumulate users, don't hesitate. Otherwise, maybe there is no soup to drink. In the past life, steam Why is it so successful? Aside from many factors such as services and download speeds, the most important thing is that the steam platform has the earliest time to go online!

Many people only remember the sudden explosion of the steam platform after 2008, but many people forget that the steam platform came out in 2002! If you are one step faster, you will be able to lead step by step. This is a chance. However, in the previous life in China, the download speed of the Penguin platform has not been resolved, and it is still flourishing. Of course, there are other factors.

In addition to this reason, and also because there are not many big games in the current Hongyi, Fang Xi counts with his fingers. There are only three page games under the full game and one terminal game under development, even if the company’s previous father is included. In the era of developing those games, the combined capacity may not exceed one gigabyte, so the download speed of the platform is not in a hurry for the time being.

At the end of August, the game platform was completed, and the platform was named Honghu by Fang Xi, and then went online in a low-key manner.

The seven leaves of Diao Chan are expensive, and the hung hung travels thousands of miles. This name entrusts Fang Xi's all expectations for the future of this platform.

In order to gather the first batch of players, Fang Xi directly installed reminders about the platform in the three page games of "Swallowing Heaven and Earth", "Three Kingdoms", and "Legendary World", adding gifts for logging in with the platform, and then targeting each The platform has made related plug-ins, such as the equipment encyclopedia in the legendary world, the recommendation of brushing pictures, the card register of the Three Kingdoms and so on.

In addition to the plug-in functions of each game, built-in forum sections, developer interviews, new version information previews, etc., in general, the experience of playing on the platform will be more than twice as good as that of streaking on the web. This should also be a platform. The role it should have.

As a platform, there is also a game store. Curious players click into it and find that in addition to the three page games that can be claimed for free, there are also two games that are in production, so stay tuned. Among them, there are naturally veteran fans of Hongyi games, the five grandsons of the diamond king and the boss of Daxing.

As a RMB warrior player who has double repaired "Swallowing Heaven and Earth" and "Legendary World", he supports the one-click login client that can integrate the two games, not to mention that there are convenient plug-ins. Function and friend chat function. After three minutes of groping, Boss Sun was familiar with all the functions of the platform, so he clicked on the "Road to Survival" marked "Stay tuned" below.

The first thing that comes into view is a piece of black, and then the black gradually changes from blurry to clear with shaking. Boss Sun quickly understands that this is the first point of view, and in the eyes of the protagonist, the goal is the dilapidated city, blowing in the wind. Warning leaflets, and fragments of black blood.

"War? Or monster siege?" Sun Daxing muttered to himself in confusion.

The video content went on very quickly, followed by the memories of the male protagonist. Suddenly, the virus spread rapidly. The dead began to resurrect. Panic spread throughout the city. The living gradually fell. This is a hopeless city. With his bloodthirsty roar, the survivors can only survive in the stinking ditch.

"This kind of monster..." Sun Daxing no longer knew what to say.

At the end of the video, it turned into excitement. The army built fortresses on the city border, modern firearms confronted the tide of zombies, and the army began to put supplies in the city to encourage survivors to break out of the siege, and the protagonist was one of them. Putting on the equipment, putting on the guns, and pushing out the door, facing the endless sea of ​​loss, the fire snake at the muzzle signaled death. Then the camera turned around, four big blood-red characters: "Leave to Survive", and there is a line of small characters below: Stay tuned.

As a middle-aged person, Sun Daxing always felt that he was playing games to make time, but after watching the video just now, he realized that his heartbeat was a little fast. After watching the trailer video again, he saw the difference between modern warfare and zombies. With the collision of change, Sun Daxing made a silent decision in his heart. Perhaps, it would be good to go to this game to find a little excitement when he was young?

At this time, one of the benefits of the platform began to manifest: it gathered all the players who are now known as Hongyi fans, where you can discuss the related matters without worrying about being sprayed by others, such as a page game, which is also a game. ? Things like that.

Under this game, which has not yet been released, players who have gathered a vote are discussing it.

"Is this Hongyi's big trick?"

"Zombies are disgusting, but what should I do if I feel a little sensational by accident?"

"Upstairs, the zombies are very annoying (×), and the city breaks through (√

"Have you noticed that zombie in sailor suit on the corner of the street three minutes ago? Cute thought..."

"Calm down upstairs, now you are more lost than a zombie."

Whether humans are more lost or zombies are more lost has become a mystery, and in a corner of an unpopular forum in China, there are more discussions about the Honghu game platform.

This is an independent forum for game developers, and here is a group of domestic producers who are determined to make their own games, but the natural problem of making non-commercial games is the lack of investment and the inability to see the future.

And this post discussing the Honghu game platform is also very simple: "Hongyi Games can apply for a game production fund!"

The poster came directly to a picture stream, describing in detail that there is a link called Qingmiao Fund in an inconspicuous corner on the Honghu platform.

Click on the link, here is also a direct explanation of sending your game ideas and part of the source code to Hongyi’s dedicated mailbox for review. Producers who have passed the review can apply for a game production fund with a minimum of 10,000 and a maximum of 200,000 like Hongyi. There are many ways to repay the fund. You can treat this fund as an ultra-low-interest loan and repay it after the game is profitable. You can also treat this fund as the game’s share capital, and Hongyi will withdraw the share at that time.

Of course, all of the above conditions have a prerequisite: all games applying for the Young Seed Fund must be launched on the Honghu platform.

Although there are many conditions, this post can be said to have caused a wave of waves in this usually low traffic forum.

Fang Xi’s independent game support plan is currently the only one in China, so after knowing this, independent producers naturally have a more favorable impression of Hongyi, even if it is a web game that looked disgusting before. Become cute.

On the same day, Fang Xi’s mailbox received dozens of game plans, and more producers are still waiting and watching. After all, Hongyi Games has sprung up, and it is difficult for everyone to judge how well the company’s reputation is. For the game producer, it's a bit of a throwaway.

And Fang Xi naturally knew that there was an allusion to buying horse bones with daughters, which was also related to Hongyi’s future reputation, and Rong had to be cautious, so Fang Xi simply printed out several proposals and took them home to take a look at them. Anyway, that The producers at the side did not expect Fang Xi to reply that day.
