Chapter 300 I go, I can do it too
The Huaxia Star project, which cooperates with wegame, is still in the initial stage of construction. Although there are many projects applying for it, most of them are fishing in troubled waters. There are no more than ten fingers in the project that China Star can really support.

Not to mention some of the games that come here for krypton gold, there are even game developers who came to the door with a simple plan.

Then it belongs to the kind of things that ask three questions, such as the positioning of the game, and the main target group, and there is no way to even tell the core appeal of your own game.

It sounds a bit messy, but in fact there are still a lot of people like this.

Of course, it is impossible to open up all the things of the source engine, and the engine authorization that is open to the support team is castrated.

But even if it has been castrated, it is definitely first-class, and it is not difficult to get started with the source engine. The only problem is the threshold and conditions required.

With this idea in mind, Chuhe returned to the Tianhe Network headquarters in Jinling, held a high-level meeting, and then basically confirmed it.

Regarding the authorized use of the source engine, it will be open to game studios around the world. Of course, this requires an application, including the introduction of the entire game project, and the quality of the game produced using its engine. Tianhe Network The audit passed.

At the same time, after the game is released, [-]% of the total revenue will be given to Tianhe Network.

Of course, the game studios and companies that have passed the review will participate in Tianhe Network's special training on the source engine, and at the same time, they can get help from Tianhe Network for some technical problems.

It can be said that it is the same as the China Star project with Wegame, this is also a support plan, except that in addition to domestic game companies, this time it also includes other countries.

After confirmation, an announcement about the open authorization of the Origin Engine was released on Tianhe Network's official website, as well as Chuhe's Weibo and Twitter.

Those who hadn't recovered from Tianhe Network's establishment of three projects in succession were shocked when they saw the news, but after reading the detailed content in the announcement, people in the domestic game industry couldn't help but click their tongues.

"What an overbearing condition..."

"Tianhe Network is crazy! You want to collect money, and you want to be the emperor?"

"Slipped, slipped, originally wanted to apply, this condition, tsk."

Countless people in the game industry couldn't help but click their tongues after reading this announcement.

This is really overbearing, and it's a good thing about the source engine licensing for free.

Including [-]% of the total revenue after the game is developed and released using its engine, this is not too unacceptable, after all, most game engines use this model.

Even some commercial game engines still use the routine of paid authorization and subsequent sharing.

What they criticized the most was the announcement about the quality of the game in the Tianhe Network announcement.

Games made using its engine need to be approved by Tianhe Network before they can be released for sale. Isn't that completely up to Tianhe Network?

After all, they are the referees. If you say you don't pass, you don't pass.

This approach reminds people of an incident, Nintendo's royalty system.

Of course, there are still big differences, but in this announcement, the rights owned by Tianhe Network are too great.

As long as their game engine is used, the fate of the entire game is almost in the hands of Tianhe Network. After the game is developed, the other party says that you do not meet the regulations, so you cannot sell it, and then you want to sell it secretly?
Then I'm sorry, you will definitely lose the lawsuit. Not only will the game not be released, but you will also have to pay a large sum of money. It is simply a contract that can no longer be overlord.

Although the content of the announcement is very good, such as the console platform, the development of the PC platform, the promotion of some games, and the support from the Internet.

But why is it not up to you?
Such an announcement, including the players who eat melons, is also divided into two factions. Some people think that the Tianhe Network treaty is too overbearing, and some people think that this is the condition that Tianhe Network made to prevent spam games, and they did not say that it is not compulsory. With you, the conditions are placed here to apply or not to apply is your business.

"Mr. Chu, this clause is a bit too harsh." In the conference room of Tianhe Network, Chu He looked at the information on the computer, and the person in charge of the Open Authorization Plan of the Origin Engine next to him said with a click of his tongue.

"So there won't be those who want to take advantage of our fame and run away to apply." Chuhe said indifferently.

Even if none of them applied, it doesn't matter, anyway, I just want to provide some help to domestic game practitioners.

Although it is global, but internally, it will definitely be biased towards domestic game teams, there is no doubt about it.

What others think is their business. Anyway, Chuhe himself has no idea of ​​how much money he will make through this plan. Believe it or not, that's not what Chuhe cares about.

If you really want to make games and make games well, Tianhe Network will definitely not cheat the other party, but will find a way to make the game well with the other party. This is beyond doubt.

So after the plan was approved within the company, Chuhe didn't want to promote it. He simply opened up an application channel and set up a small department within the company, and left the rest alone.

"About the game review, you will first review it, and then pass your review, and then several internal project teams from the company will conduct a second review, and those that fail to pass will be asked among several internal teams according to the type of game. One, conduct a review." Chuhe gave his own request.

"Understood, Mr. Chu." The other party nodded.

…………

While domestic players were discussing the new plan of Tianhe Network, a press conference was held at the EA headquarters in Redwood City.

Unlike the previous Tianhe Network press conference which was broadcast live on twitch, EA's press conference was not so trendy, and simply invited the media from the global game industry to participate.

In addition to Dragon Age, The Sims, Need for Speed ​​and Battlefield, these old projects, EA also announced a more important news, the company will simultaneously develop two 3A-level game masterpieces.

One is the sequel to the previously well-received Mass Effect, and the project name is Andromeda; the other is the heavyweight IP Star Wars that has a wide audience in Europe and the United States, and the background of the game is the movie Star Wars prequel series. The last one: Star Wars 3: Revenge of the Sith, which is also the sequel to the game Star Wars: Battlefront, project name: Star Wars: Battlefront 2.

This is not the end, and then EA once again threw out heavy news. The latest release time of Red Dead Redemption is set to be in mid-April next year, which is one month before the start of next year's E3.

EA made a big news. After the news was released, almost all players around the world became excited.

And EA itself became excited. The most intuitive thing is that on the day the news was released, EA's market value rose by 3% on that day.

Sure enough, EA needs 3A-level games, and all the senior executives inside EA have such an idea in their hearts.

As for failure?

how can that be possible?
One is the sequel to Mass Effect with many fans, and the other is the Star Wars IP game with many fans around the world. In terms of investment, the development cost of any game alone exceeds that of Tianhe Network's Red Dead.

There is no way it will fail.

EA executives are full of confidence in this, isn't it 3A?
Will the big brother in the game industry lose to the young people?
I'm on, so can I!
