The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 325 322. Boss Cao sees through the conspiracy

  After listening to Li Lanyun, Cao Yang is very pleased that Bomi is currently launching a project to develop online games.

These games were not initiated by Cao Yang, but spontaneously initiated by various studios. This shows that their independent thinking and problem-solving ability has been greatly improved, and many planners know what they want, what they like, and what they are more willing to do. This is a good thing for Bomi and Cao Yang.

   also means that if one day Cao Yang really retires, or does not want to do it, and wants to go on vacation, the company can run well while enjoying life.

  A Bomi that can be completely let go by Cao Yang, what a powerful Bomi?

  Cao Yang looks forward to this day very much.

  "Do you have any questions about the boss of online games?" Li Lanyun asked.

   Cao Yang thought for a while, but did not answer him immediately.

  He was thinking about one thing--

  If the agency rights of tainted milk powder can be taken down, the main pillars of the previous penguin are basically on Bomi's side.

  The only thing I haven’t gotten yet, should be the game of Crossfire, right?

  This game, according to the official statement of the previous life Penguin is——

  The dream of 300 million mice, 3 million people are online at the same time.

  The FPS online game list has long dominated the list for a long time, and it is one of the most profitable online games under Penguin.

  Crossing the line of fire I don’t know if the stick has been developed there. Cao Yang is now considering whether to act as an agent for crossing the line of fire, or to re-develop a large-scale shooting-type online game?

   Forget it, check it out first.

Cao Yang made up his mind in his heart, and then shook his head to Li Lanyun, "I have no problem here, just take care of it."

  ……

  Li Lanyun nodded and continued to scroll down.

   "Bomi plus its subsidiaries, there are still 3 games that have not been officially launched yet, but the degree of completion is actually relatively high."

  In the PPT, three games are displayed, namely:

   "Warcraft 3: Mystery of Pandaren", "Road of Exile" and "Fate/Prototype"

""Warcraft 3: The Mystery of Pandaren" has been debugged for a long time. We have adjusted various values ​​and feels, as well as the balance of various arms here, for almost half a year, and we have also found many professional players. I came to do a test. The most recent test was in October. The game was highly rated by professional players, so our assessment here has reached the standard for external release and can be ready to be put on the shelves at any time."

   "Hmm..." Cao Yang thought for a while, "Don't worry, but the debugging work should be done well. I plan to save this game until after the Spring Festival next year."

  Counting the days, there are actually not many days left.

  If it is released during the Spring Festival, it is estimated to be able to replace the war3 Champions League to be held next year in Bomi——

  Warcraft3ChampionsLeague

  Abbreviated as W3CL.

  This competition is sponsored by Bomi. The annual prize amount is as high as 5 million. It has become the hottest War3 competition in the world.

  Now, on war3, a map related to dota has appeared. Although it is still in an early version, with the addition of ice frogs, this map has slowly accumulated some players.

  Cao Yang is considering that in about two years, the dota competition can be held.

The new expansion of war3 has not been released before. The main reason is that the balance of this game is difficult to debug, so it has been adjusted for a long time. Almost every adjustment will invite professional players to test and experience, and then continue to feedback iterations. This process It is actually very painful.

  There is another point. Cao Yang considered that the last expansion piece Frozen Throne has only been in service for 2 years and has not reached the experience limit of this version, so he did not release it.

  Now that the time is almost ripe, we can start preparing for the Western Fantasy Studio team to release this expansion after the Spring Festival next year.

   "Okay." After listening to Cao Yang's words, Li Lanyun recorded it in his notebook.

  ……

“Then Bomi Miguo’s "Road of Exile" game is said to be 80% complete. It is now open to a small number of players for testing," Li Lanyun said, "About May next year. It’s almost done in terms of completion."

   "Huh? Isn't that just right?" Cao Yang said with a smile, "I can take this game to the E3 Electronics Fair in May next year."

  This year, Bomi made the limelight at the E3 exhibition, and finally proved itself with strength. Next year, Bomi will definitely have a place at the E3 exhibition.

  After participating in the E3 exhibition, you can go to Chinajoy in June.

  Walk down such a circle, and the popularity and publicity of the path of exile will be there.

   "Yes." Li Lanyun said with a smile, "It just happens to be able to promote our game. Our company has a good momentum this year, and it is estimated to be the focus next year."

   "That must be." Cao Yang smiled confidently.

He is still very confident in the path of exile, and the team itself has the strength. Although the path of exile in the previous life is relatively small, it can be described as a hard core, but its core players are also very loyal to this game. The evaluation is quite high.

  If you can do a good job of publicity, the final sales of this game should not be too bad.

  ……

  “The other is a visual novel game independently developed by Xingyue Company, "Fate/Prototype"" Li Lanyun said, "The production of this game is also very complete.

  This game is expected to be on the shelves at the end of this year, and the AIR game platform will be sold and promoted in a month. "

Cao Yang gave Xingyue a high degree of independence and autonomy. Basically, he would not interfere with Nasu mushrooms. Therefore, Xingyue's development is also quite free. Bomi provides them with technology and capital. Support, Nao Mushroom just needs to dare to do what she wants to do.

   "Well, it's okay, they were originally a game company," Cao Yang said with a smile, "I still believe in Nao Mushroom's judgment. As long as they manage the Xingyue company well, it will be the greatest return for us."

  "Fate/Prototype" is an unfinished novel written by Nasu Mushroom during his student days. It is the ancestor and prototype of almost all Fate series. Although it is the prototype of "Fate/staynight", there are different settings between the two.

  As the protagonist in "Fate/staynight", Shiro Weimiya did not appear in Prototype. The protagonist in Prototype is a girl named Sajo Ayaka, and Saber is the male King Arthur.

Ayaka, who is victorious, intelligent but somewhat miserable as a monk, and Saber, who stands behind the girl while guarding her with a smile in her mouth, is a relationship between the two. Refer to " The combination of Rin Toto Saka and Archer in Fate/staynight can be well understood.

This game is different from the traditional galgame. The protagonist is a girl, and the follower is a male King Arthur. So this game is not for otaku, but it takes care of the girls’ mood, and at the same time. Male players who like the King and Destiny series provide an alternative experience.

  From the perspective of target users, the positioning of this game is rather vague.

  According to Cao Yang’s understanding, if fp is on sale, it might bring a large group of girls into the Destiny series, but there is another risk, that is -

  Losing a lot of male players.

  "After that, FP should cooperate with ANIPLEX Co., Ltd., which has already cooperated before, to animate FP." Li Lanyun said.

   "Well, it's good," Cao Yang said. "Animation is a good choice. If you can link cartoons and games, maybe you can really get good sales."

   "Yeah." Li Lanyun nodded without speaking.

In fact, from his point of view, he is more worried about this new game developed by Xingyue, because it is a female first point of view, and he has seen the script of this game, and thinks that the plot of the game is not special. The color, especially the sister of the heroine who appeared in the middle, is really powerful and disgusting a little too much.

   But since the boss has given Xingyue enough autonomy, Li Lanyun is not good to say anything, let's look at the future development.

  For Cao Yang, his idea is simpler——

  Regardless of the plot, as long as the staff of Xingyue Company is good enough to add enough personal and powerful heroic characters to the game, then it is valuable.

  This will lay a solid foundation for the launch of FGO, a krypton product on mobile games in a few years.

  FGO is a krypton game on mobile phones. The main gameplay is to collect heroic cards and related skins. As for the battle, it doesn’t matter.

   sells the characters in the FATE series.

  Perhaps when Bomi will make this game, it can also be called "Kings and Fate", KingsandFate, or KAF for short.

  Whether we can make this mobile game, the most important thing depends on the number of heroes that Xingyue and Bomi can produce, so that players can generate a strong enough desire to buy, in fact, it is inseparable from the personal charm of heroes.

  ……

   "Now we have so many products under research." Li Lanyun turned the ppt to the next page.

  The names of several games appeared on it:

  "God of War·Wukong", "Shanhaijing·Wind of Flames", "Assassin's Soul·Mo Chu"

Continue to say, ""Shan Hai Jing·Wind of Flame", this game is a sequel to the "Shan Hai Jing". Before Shan Hai Jing used the X1 engine, if this product is established, we plan to use X3 Engine to make it."

  "Huh?" Cao Yang's eyes lit up when he heard the X3 engine, "Is the X3 engine ready for use now?"

"Well," Li Lanyun nodded, "Last month, the engine group has been tested. Brother Qiang said it can be used. If there is any problem, it can be solved in the development. At the same time, the X3 engine is used to develop the "Shan Hai Jing · Yan "Wind of the Wind" can also help them test the effects of the X3 engine and help improve the engine's functions."

   "Okay." Cao Yang laughed.

  In fact, Bomi’s previous games have also come in this way. The engine is developed, but the functions may not be perfect. There are many bugs and functions that are solved while doing it.

  So basically every time Bomi can show a new engine, it also means that Bomi has a new game to be launched. This is the reason.

  The two are complementary and alternate.

  ……

Shanhaijing was developed relatively early. The X1 engine that was still used back then is definitely inferior to the masterpieces made by Bomi in terms of picture quality. Even the Soul of the Assassin completely crushes Shanhai in terms of physical performance. By.

The development of a new version is actually a new iteration of the picture quality. As for the content of the game, the changes are actually not big. It is nothing more than adding some new monsters on the basis of the original monsters, launching new plots, and adding new equipment at the same time. And action experience...

  The requirements for copywriting in this series are far lower than other games that focus on storytelling content, and it is also the easiest in development and design.

  So "Shan Hai Jing · Wind of Flame" should save a lot of time in the production. Let this game be the touchstone of the new engine because of their fast development and low design cost.

  Testing the new engine is suitable for products whose design is mature and does not require much change.

  ……

  ""Assassin's Soul·Ink Delivery" is a continuation of "Assassin's Soul·Maple". The gameplay has not changed much, mainly because of the content of the plot."

  Li Lanyun explained to Cao Yang that this game was developed after Feng.

  While starting a new role, it will also complement the previous generation.

   is a bit similar to the fairy sword series, the characters in the previous work will appear in the latter work, and a new plot will be launched at the same time, and then the foreshadowing or regrets buried in the previous work will be compensated to a certain extent.

  In online novels, this is called filling the hole.

The best rhythm of the    series of games is——

  Fill the pits of the previous game, and then dig new pits, waiting for the next game to fill in, and then each generation can make a very high level, so that players will have the motivation to continue playing.

  But this requires quite high level of copywriting.

  The plot of "Assassin's Soul·Maple" is equivalent to that Boss Cao came to do it himself. Facts have proved that Boss Cao's copywriting standards are quite impressive. Players can score more than 9.6 points for the game's plot of 10 points.

  And "Assassin's Soul: Ink Oil" is completely written by the studio's own copywriting, and I don't know what effect it will show in the end.

   "Put out the copy as soon as possible, and then show it to me first, if I think there is no problem with this game, there is no big problem." Cao Yang ordered.

  Li Lanyun agreed, "Good boss."

  As a sequel to the Assassin’s Soul, the space for innovation in gameplay is actually very limited. The main core point is the plot and character settings. As long as the plot is good enough, it can produce better results, otherwise it will be a complete failure.

  So Cao Yang must close the plot.

   "Hmm..." Cao Yang pondered for a moment, silently thinking.

  In fact, the development scale of the three items is not small. It can be regarded as the top configuration team in the Bomi game. The human, material and financial resources invested in development are carried out in accordance with the 3A level.

  The budget of each game is in 100 million units.

  Furthermore, the total number of these three project teams alone exceeds 2,000.

  In this era, it is already quite a terrifying number.

  There is a trend of getting bigger and bigger.

  Fortunately, Bomi earns a lot of money now, and it can be sustained after a calculation, barely maintaining a balance of payments.

  ……

  "As for mobile games," Li Lanyun said, "Currently, there is no development plan for Bomi Interactive Entertainment. My idea is to wait until the mobile phone is released to see the market response and demand before making a decision.

  Now we spend money on the blade, mainly because we don’t have so many manpower. "

  It can be said that it was a temporary holdover. Cao Yang was going to give a speech at the smartphone conference, so he needed 4 mobile games as a display. It is a miracle that a good quality mobile game product can be made within 3 months.

  The main reason for doing fast is because Cao Yang thinks very thoroughly and saves the planning work in the early stage, so the product can be developed on the right path.

  Now that the mobile game project is delivered and the version number is successfully obtained, the relevant personnel of the mobile game project have also been transferred back to other game departments for support.

  The main reason is that Bomi’s booth is too big, and the game personnel who need to conduct research and development are very nervous, so each project is a little lacking.

   "Well, it's okay."

  The mobile game project Cao Yang is not in a hurry, anyway, before the mobile network is built, most of the mobile game products are mainly stand-alone mini games.

  Wait for the mobile phone to be iterated a few more times, when it can support a relatively large game package, it will not be too late for Bomi to develop.

  The main purpose of making mobile games now is to sell mobile phones better.

  As long as there is an app store, Bomi can already make money by lying on the phone.

  ……

   "Now that "Gun Girls" is released, the members of this team have been released," Li Lanyun asked, "What games will we follow?"

   "Hmm...this..."

   Cao Yang raised his eyebrows, as if he had not thought of a particularly good answer for a while.

  It is reasonable to say that "Girl with Guns" is so successful, then we should continue to develop along the line of "Girls with Guns" and make it into a series of works.

  The problem is that the ending of this game is written too much, no matter which game has a strong sense of ending, and the structure of the game is connected end to end, forming a closed loop, resulting in not much room for subsequent products.

  This makes Cao Yang feel a little difficult.

   "Let's let it go first," Cao Yang said, "You give them a vacation, and finally the project is finished, it's time to relax. We will meet again later to discuss this issue.

  But, you have to keep the members of this project for me, don't let them support other projects. "

"okay."

  Boss Cao saw through his strategy, Li Lanyun felt very uncomfortable.

  He originally thought--

  "Gun Girl" is a very complete and ingenious closed loop in the game design. Apart from using gun settings and creating a new worldview, there is basically no possibility of developing a sequel.

  So after this part of the staff finishes this product, they can go to support other departments.

  It happens that a few other projects are also short of people, so you can take advantage of it.

  Unexpectedly, boss Cao would be killed in advance before he could put it forward.

  This feeling is really uncomfortable.

  ……

  There is no update tonight.

  Thank you all

See you tomorrow
