Chapter 448 Something I Want to Say
After walking on the stage, Chuhe held the microphone and spoke a few words according to the text he had prepared before.

In terms of content, it is probably not different from Wang He in the direction of wegame before.

In fact, this is nothing, but the domestic game producers in the audience were a little disappointed. After all, it was Chuhe who spoke on stage.

For the experience of Tianhe Network, it is simply a miracle in the domestic game industry. Countless people are looking forward to becoming the second Tianhe Network.

"Mr. Chu, can you tell us your views on the domestic stand-alone game industry? When will the domestic stand-alone game truly mature?"

The applause stopped when Chuhe was about to step off the stage, when suddenly someone in the crowd shouted loudly.

Chuhe followed the voice and saw a young man sitting behind the crowd holding his hands high, and he didn't know that the other party was not a bigwig in the industry.

However, the sign placed in front of the other party's seat says the production team of Autumn Leaf, which will have a little influence on Chuhe at that time. It is probably one of the working groups supported by Tianhe Network and wegame when they jointly established the China Star Project. .

The reason why I am more impressed is that most of the production teams at that time were either making roguelike pixel-style games, or making turn-based games, such as ACT, ARPG, and RPG.

But there is a studio that they chose galgame-type games, which is their Akiba working group. Originally, galgame-type games are niche, and the mainstream galgame neon market on the Internet is basically saturated. Even aiming at the market in other places, it is a super difficult thing to do galgame in China.

However, Chuhe still remembers very clearly that the production team gave themselves a very clear positioning and market analysis at that time, which is also one of the main reasons for their approval.

First of all, the theme is to choose the two elements of high school entrance examination and love, the localized style plus Chinese dubbing, this is the market judgment given by the other party, they are not the first to be crabs, but they want to be the first to be Crabs are delicious people.

As for the final sales volume, Chuhe is not sure, but it is estimated that it should be paid back, otherwise it is estimated that I will not see him today.

Chu He, who originally wanted to go down, paused: "This is not planned, and it will be lunch time soon. In fact, I also want to give some advice to my colleagues in China, but I don't know if everyone will mind me. Delay everyone's lunch time."

There are some things that Chuhe wants to say, but sometimes Chuhe is too lazy to say them, but today is a little different. Although there are many game manufacturers that Chuhe doesn't want to deal with, most of them are like the fallen leaves working group. An independent game studio with a positive mind, and a small factory.

Moreover, today is also held as an event similar to China Star, and Meng Xiansheng's network element seems to be interested in trying to diversify, which is a good opportunity.

Although domestic Tianhe Network and Wegame have strong support for domestic games, neither of them are involved in the issue of distribution.

There are many ways to release games, and the water is quite deep. Wegame is not good at being both a referee and a scorer, while Tianhe Network simply does not want to deploy this area.

Now Meng Xiansheng's network element seems to want to get involved, and its own network element is also the third largest distribution channel in China, and its own network element has an excellent reputation in China, so it is not a bad thing to let the other party enter it.

As for Phoenix and Fangfang, one is Phoenix Media and the other is Wanxin Media. Their strengths are unquestionable. Although these two companies operate independently, they have too much appetite, and their reputation in the industry is really not very good.

Although he invested in many domestic game projects in the early days, he basically thought about quick money, and destroyed a lot by himself, and his style of acting was also the same old routine.

Acquisition of domestic game media on a large scale, as long as it is a Phoenix-type or Cube-type game, basically all of their websites are well-received, and they even delete bad reviews and lock positive reviews.

Chu He returned to the stage, paused for about half a minute, and then spoke.

"Someone just asked me my opinion on domestic stand-alone machines, so I will briefly say a few points, hoping to give you some reference." Chuhe began to say as he watched the people in the audience take two steps back and forth.

"First of all, from the point of view of the game production concept, most producers and teams in China take the 'plot' too seriously, and even regard the plot as the most important element. Of course, I don't mean to attach importance to the plot. It’s wrong, but this is an era of fast consumption, whether you admit it or not, you have to face the reality, and the mere plot can no longer reproduce the previous emotion.”

"Even RPG games that focus on plots must retain players through gameplay, such as interactive design experience and character selection, so as to bring players a sense of immersion. For example, the last survivor of our Tianhe Network not long ago Or, in the previous Red Dead Redemption, even the rainstorm under the pure plot QD, we have to design a variety of gameplay elements, rich interactive experience, rich branch plots, enough free exploration, and smooth battles. It supports the plot and the world view." Chu He said.

"If it's just for the plot, why don't players choose novels, movies, and comics with a lower threshold?"

And the expressions of everyone in the audience followed Chu He's words, from relaxed to serious at the beginning, and many people even took out their mobile phones and turned on the recording mode.

Without giving the people in the audience time to think, Chuhe continued to speak, these words were not only for everyone in the audience, but also for Chuhe himself.

"The second is the innovation of the game. Just like the Beiruan Swordsman series, it has been moving for more than ten years. Even players don't have to play, they can guess the plot of the game, the plain narrative framework, polyamorous love, dead heroines , of course, the male protagonist occasionally dies; it can’t compare to exotic Requiem, Warcraft, etc., and it is also inferior to European and American assembly-line popcorn plots.”

"Of course, this is related to the cost technology. The big scene can't be played well, but in terms of basic gameplay design, it's all about animation, maze walking, and card levels. Players really like these things?"

Cost and technology are unavoidable for any manufacturer. Even though the domestic stand-alone market has a tendency to recover, there is still an extremely short supply of talents, especially high-end core talents.

That's why Tianhe Network needs to continuously recruit overseas, acquire overseas studios, and cooperate with EA in early development.

Talent training is also being carried out in the headquarters. Even up to now, the highest proportion of high-paying talents in Tianhe Network is still foreign technical talents, because there is a real gap in technology.

If you have to say which places in China can be regarded as world-class, art is one of them.

Also within the Tianhe network, there are also special trainings. Of course, the training is the training. You have to sign a special long-term contract. Chuhe doesn't want the talents he cultivated to be poached by Penguin and Wangyi.
