Chapter 46 Engage in an online game RPG?don't do it, don't do it
Hearing Chuhe's words, Yao Daxian just smiled and didn't continue, but turned to the famine: "Speaking of famine coming out this time, it can be said that it has given us a wave of confidence in the producers of domestic stand-alone machines."

"As long as the game is a good game, players will pay for it. The current environment is not the same as before." Chuhe also said with a smile.

Yao Daxian nodded sympathetically.

"But in fact, you really surprised people. No one thought that the company that made the legend of the red moon could make famine." Yao Daxian said with a smile.

"Actually, I don't like games like Legend of the Red Moon either, but Tianhe Network has to make this kind of game because Tianhe Network has no intention of financing or going public." Chu He said with a smile.

This is not a secret. In fact, after Legend of the Red Moon went public and the subsequent famine shook the entire domestic stand-alone market, many investment institutions have approached Chuhe, wanting to invest in Tianhe Network.

But even the other party's offer, Chuhe directly rejected it without listening.

Ordinary people don't know about these things, but the big game manufacturers probably got wind of them a long time ago.

"Independence of funds?" Yao Daxian was stunned for a moment when he heard Chuhe's words, then thought of something, and opened his mouth with a little uncertainty.

Chuhe didn't answer, just nodded.

After getting the answer he wanted, Yao Daxian showed a hint of envy in his eyes: "It's a pity that people like us don't have that ability. Even foreign star game producers, most of them still have to rely on foreign capital."

This is true. In the game industry, especially for the investment and development of large-scale games, there has always been a taboo, that is, to use their own money for development investment, and most of them use capital money for development.

But in this way, there are too many things to consider, and I completely lose my independence.

"After a while, Beiruan will start to change its direction towards online games. In fact, in addition to being responsible for the JX8 project, I will also be responsible for developing an online game for JX OL," Yao Daxian said.

This is not something confidential. Even if he doesn't say it, Beisoft will release the news after a while.

"Online game? MMORPG online game?" Chu He froze for a moment.

"Yes." Yao Daxian nodded.

"This is not a good choice, at least for the Legend of Swordsman." Chu He said.

Why do MMORPG online games?Although Yao Daxian didn't say it, Chuhe could guess that it was just to make a lot of money.

And who will be playing it?
There is no doubt that it is those old players who have the feelings of the swordsman!
Chatting with Yao Daxian, Chuhe's mind is no longer on the other party.

Although it is a parallel world, there are some things that are more similar to the previous life. For example, this world still has Blizzard, EA, etc., and some of its classic IPs also exist, such as Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed, Blizzard’s Warcraft, and Diablo. With Interstellar, and Half-Life of Valve, Counter-Strike, and Sims of EA.

But there are some differences. For example, Blizzard’s World of Warcraft project has not yet appeared. The third part of the Warcraft series has been released, but Blizzard only announced the World of Warcraft project, but it has not yet completed it. , just said to the outside world that it is doing it.

When he first came to this world, Chuhe still wanted to have systematic help in his heart, and directly played out the major classic games on the earth in his previous life, but after learning about the game circle in this world, Chuhe was a little confused .

I can't do it, I can't do it, the protagonists in other people's books all travel to a world where the game industry is backward and have nothing. The left-handed monsters and the right-handed assassins, but when they come to me, they have everything. Now they can only Make a famine.

As for making RPG online games, Chuhe has no interest at all, not only because it costs money and time, but more importantly, maybe one day, World of Warcraft will come.

When it comes to RPG online games, one has to mention World of Warcraft. Whether in China or abroad in the previous life, World of Warcraft can be said to be an invincible existence, just like a warrior standing at the top, waiting for the heroes of the world to challenge him, but no one able to defeat him.

There are too many factors that make World of Warcraft successful. Even if Chuhe replicates the gameplay and features of World of Warcraft, he will never be able to defeat him. Chuhe knows this well.

With a history of more than ten years of Warcraft, the word Warcraft has become one of Blizzard's classic IPs. Coupled with the technology of Blizzard's own team, these details are beyond Chuhe's reach.

Combining these reasons, Chuhe is not only not optimistic about Yao Daxian's Swordsman Legend OL project, it can be said that he is not optimistic about all domestic RPG online game projects.

how to say?

To describe it in one way, they are racing against time again. Before the moment of RPG online game revolution arrives, they may not lose money by listing the game and make a small profit. Only rout.

Especially in this world, Chuhe found that the game screens are generally upgraded. It would be really scary if Warcraft produced a burst-level screen.

However, according to Chuhe's point of view, it should be impossible, because the requirements for the player's computer would be monster-level.

If the pursuit of the highest is really that way, the monsters may be broken, and it may not be able to reach the height of the earth in the previous life.

Then the two exchanged a bit, and then went back to their seats.

It has to be said that although online players have been questioning Yao Daxian's game production ability, saying that he actually ruined the legend of swordsman and reduced the once classic to today's sentimental consumption.

But after a short chat, Chuhe has a different opinion. The other party's game concept is very positive. If he can really implement his own concept into the game, he dare not say how good Swordsman Legend can be, but But it will definitely not be reduced to a work of emotional consumption.

Obviously, there is only one answer. As the person in charge of the Swordsman Legend project, Yao Daxian has to bear too many things, such as the various requirements of the project investor, the pressure on the production cycle, and a series of problems. .

Sometimes even in order to catch up with the release date, some unimportant BUGs have not been tested and modified, but they are prepared to wait for the game to be released, and then let the programmers update and fix the patches.

As for the MMORPG project mentioned by Yao Daxian, Chu He doesn't even need to think about it. He knows that if this project can avoid encountering World of Warcraft, it may be able to make money if it is launched before the development of World of Warcraft, but the damage to the IP of Swordsman will be huge. further more.

But speaking of it, even if there is no news of Warcraft, Chuhe doesn't really want to touch the online game RPG.

The production cycle is long and the investment is large. Although the MMORPG project is a golden hen if it is well operated, for Chuhe, he can make a lot of money whether it is a money-making game or a conscience game.

For general game manufacturers, choosing to make MMORPG is the safest and safest way, because they need to consider the capital behind it, but Chuhe has no such considerations at all.

Just when Chuhe was thinking about it, the awards ceremony began soon. Apart from the best game award that Chuhe had already set by default, there were other awards such as the innovative game award, the best picture award, the best soundtrack award, and a large number of awards. Heap of awards.

At the end, the game screen of Famine soon appeared on the big screen in the main venue. At the same time, with the announcement of the award presenter, Chu He came to the stage to receive the medal, and then said the award acceptance speech he had memorized with a smile on his face. again.

There will be a media interview next, but after all, it is hosted by several game media, and there is an official background behind it, so the interviews are also carried out around the domestic game environment, and Chuhe didn't fire any guns, which is quite satisfactory talking.

After the game award ended, Chuhe did not return to Tianhe Network in Jinling immediately, but was invited by Yao Daxian to visit the project building of Swordsman.

　The success of World of Warcraft is not accidental. The technology of Blizzard itself and the IP background of Warcraft are there, and it cannot be copied by others if they want to.Of course, if there is a cattle approval system, everything is possible.
