Chapter 211 Your game idea is mine

"On the major live broadcast platforms, the evaluation of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is very good, and almost 7% of the FPS anchors are broadcasting this game."

"On Bf1stats, the number of online players of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has surpassed that of Battlefield by several blocks, and now the total number of people worldwide has reached 200 million!"

"The popularity of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on twitch is already at the top!"

In Wangyi's Thunder Studio, even though it was already midnight, people in the entire department still worked overtime. They even paid more attention to the popularity of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and game feedback than everyone in Tianhe.com.

Three-level old steel helmet, 8 times M24 with luxurious equipment. In the final round, he condescended to shoot the target. Chen Jing, who successfully ate the chicken once, put down the mouse and listened to the news reported to him by the people in the group. He looked at the computer with a complicated expression. On the screen is the picture of successfully eating the chicken at the end.

It has to be said that he has been in this industry for so long, and it has been a long time since he has devoted himself to playing a game, especially a multiplayer online game.

That's right, it's an online game. In Chen Jing's view, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is actually an online game, but it's a buyout system.

In fact, many times, although as the boss of the Thunder Studio under Wangyi, he has made many cheating online games, in fact, Chen Jing himself would not play these games at all, at most he just entered the game with a professional eye , experience and test various settings of the game, including numerical values.

But actually getting into the game?He didn't have that kind of free time, and he didn't want to play.

In fact, after playing a game or two, he also knew why the game of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was so popular.

You said his picture quality is good?
Well, compared to domestic FPS games, that kind of texture background modeling, as well as paper man-like characters, and various synthesized gunshots, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is indeed inferior to them in terms of quality.

But this is not the essence of this game. After all, in terms of image quality, the latest versions of the Battlefield series and Counter-Strike are not inferior to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and even better to some extent.

The most important thing is a setting like Battle Royale, use all means to survive, and then successfully eat the chicken, and also add elements of cultivation, including weapons of various levels, as well as gun accessories, bullets, medicines , These are all full of nurturing elements. At the same time, not only guns will be refreshed in the map, but also various beautiful clothes for players to collect.

Do you have a third-level head, a third-level armor, and a third-level bag?I have a black trench coat and a white skirt.

The power grid follows the aircraft safety zone, and the setting of the bombing area further weakens the competitive nature of traditional FPS and strengthens the entertainment in the game.

That's right, it is to weaken the competitive nature. When traditional FPS such as Counter Strike are doing various balances to strengthen the competitive nature, the game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds does not pay so much attention to the competitive nature.

The random refresh of supplies, the random refresh of safe areas, the random refresh of vehicles on the map, and the random refresh of bombed areas all bring different variables to the game.

The consequence of doing so is to sacrifice competitiveness and bring higher entertainment.

But that's fine, after all, if it's purely technical, it's really hard to handle; but game creativity, in the game industry, especially some studios with a relatively low bottom line, isn't your game creativity my game creativity? what?

"In two weeks, our mobile game version will be launched, can it be done?" Chen Jing asked in the group.

"With 100 players online, plus a large map, it may be a little difficult to optimize. Some low-end mobile phones may not be able to run perfectly, and there is no way to perfectly replicate the grass in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. .” Among them, the high-level person in charge of technology thought for a while and said.

"These problems are not big, the main thing is to be able to present the main core of the game." Chen Jing nodded and said.

These are all insignificant things, the most important thing is to hurry up, taking advantage of the hottest period of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, they can gain popularity.

Moreover, this project will definitely be successful. Chen Jing is 100% sure about this. It may be a big problem if it goes viral for a long time, but it is still easy to do something with the popularity of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

For example, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a PC platform, but they are making a mobile platform. Secondly, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a buyout game, but they are free games.

"In addition, the relevant PC version has also started to be developed, and it can be launched as soon as possible. Basically, we can use our previous FPS project." Thinking of something, Chen Jing continued to order.

Not only the mobile platform, as long as the speed is fast enough, maybe the PC platform can also get involved, and they also have natural advantages, the first is free, and the second is the problem of machine configuration.

Although Tianhe Network's optimization capabilities are strong enough, the quality of the game itself, coupled with real physical collisions, and calculations, requires relatively high configuration requirements for players.

If you want to run smoothly, you must have 8G of memory and a 1050TI-level graphics card to run smoothly, and if you want to play comfortably, you need at least a 1063-level graphics card.

Although the mainstream configuration of players is 1050-level configuration, it is undeniable that there are still many domestic players whose configurations do not meet this requirement.

At that time, there will be a large number of players who can afford games but cannot change computers, and these players want to experience PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, so what should we do?

There is no doubt that battle royale games with lower configuration requirements are their first choice, not to mention that they don't need money.

Chen Jing believes that he is definitely not the only one who thinks this way, and other manufacturers are expected to start to take action, so this wave of following suit is a race against time, and whoever can launch counterfeit products in the first time will take the lead.

As for the bad picture at that time, that is not a problem. After all, the configuration requirements are here, and people who will come to play the counterfeit version will probably not care about the picture. After all, why do I come to play counterfeit products? ?

"They call it PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, let's call it PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, but in terms of the background of the game, let's promote patriotism, such as the same plane jumping, we write military exercises on the plane and the parachute, and at the same time pull a few banners in the game to say What are the positive words like 'win glory for the country, strengthen the army and strengthen the country'." Chen Jing thought for a while and said to the team.

Although it is very likely to be criticized by players, there is no way to do it, so that it can better pass the review and get the version number.

Otherwise, if the game is made, it will not pass the review, the version number will not be obtained, and it will not be able to operate and charge.

It doesn’t matter to Tianhe Network. Although PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has domestic servers, it is not operated or distributed in China at all, but is directly uploaded to rotten oranges.

They don’t have this channel. If they want to use it, they can only go to the steam platform. Anyway, the steam platform is not the same as before. Basically, it’s like a bus. If you pay the money, you don’t have any diseases, then you can Come on.

But their main layout is still in the country. After all, although the steam platform has changed a bit, you can get it on the money, but it is still a bit difficult to operate in terms of publicity and hype, so it is still released directly in the country. The safest.

　Although what I wrote is all facts, and most game studios in China are like this, but why do I feel so black~
