Chapter 220 Open Map Editor
The emergence of "The Frozen Throne" has indeed maintained the popularity of "World of Warcraft" to a certain extent.

If Blizzard in the previous life hadn't experienced the Warcraft trilogy, "World of Warcraft" wouldn't have such a grand occasion when it went online, right?
After making up the missing piece of the last piece, Zhou Linfei now only needs to wait.

The Frozen Throne is just an appetizer.

"Are you sure you want to open the map editor to players?" Zhu Jingping couldn't believe his ears. With such a large authority given to players, no one can predict what tricks those sand sculpture players can do.

Although, Zhu Jingping is also very aware of the fact that masters are among the people.

Some guys with novel ideas and enough perseverance can breathe life into the game.

However, Zhu Jingping also knew that the number of such people was very small.

Most players still like to spoof, and like to play some messy tricks.

In this way, it will add a lot of unnecessary burden to the entire Tengyu platform.

Even if a map requires very few resources, it will be a very tedious job if accumulated over a long period of time.

Once the player uploads, a temporary storage space is naturally required.

"I don't think it's necessary." Gan Qiwen, as Zhou Linfei's assistant, felt that she had to remind Zhou Linfei, "Even if we can get some ideas from players, the pay and reward are far from proportional."

"So, I personally think that we don't need to do this." Zhang Jiayao, as the final conclusion, definitely rejected Zhou Linfei's idea.

If he didn't have the experience of his previous life, Zhou Linfei might be convinced by the few people in front of him.

However, Zhou Linfei is well aware of the benefits that opening up the map editor to players will bring to the entire company.

You know, the Dota, Shinzo, Guardian Sword Pavilion, etc. in the previous life were all made by players who love to generate electricity.

Maybe they didn't want to make money in the beginning.

Perhaps, they just made such a map out of impulse or inspiration.

But you have to admit that it is precisely because of these that a different vitality has been injected into "Warcraft".

Zhou Linfei has always been very clear about the upper limit of RTS games.

The player base of this kind of real-time strategy game is very limited.

Compared with the sense of substitution and impact of RPG games, RTS games are more inclined to command and control on the macro level.

Compared with other types of games, it naturally lacks a certain sense of substitution.

This is a fact that cannot be changed.

Even after "Warcraft" added the special element of heroes, it changed the mode of RTS games to a certain extent.

But this is just a drop in the bucket, and it can't change the overall situation at all.

It was precisely because Zhou Linfei knew this that he had to make a change.

"It is imperative to open the map editor to players." Zhou Linfei said decisively, "Gan Qiwen, you should contact the operator over there. We need our own independent server instead of relying on someone else's banner .We will have more and more games in the future, and the construction and demand for servers will also become higher and higher.”

"The permissions of the editor are mainly divided into terrain, units, triggers, and sound effects. The specific content and weight, Xiao Zhu and Jiayao, you can weigh." After Zhou Linfei finished speaking, he paused, "My request is to be as foolish as possible! Even a novice can master how to use the editor. Players don’t need so much professional knowledge, we just use their brains.”

"Finally, Gan Qiwen, please contact the lawyer to draft an agreement. The main purpose is to allocate the rights and interests between us and the players. Since we have worked so hard to provide this platform, we will naturally charge certain benefits."

In fact, this is extremely important.

The copyright must be clearly divided, and Zhou Linfei will step in no matter what.

After all, he doesn't know if there will be a god-man in this time and space, who will directly create the League of Legends.

Zhou Linfei didn't dare to gamble even when something as miraculous as time travel happened.

He attaches more importance to MOBA games than other types of games.

In the previous life, the scene where the MOBA family dominated was still deeply imprinted in Zhou Linfei's memory.

What's more, if the copyright is not clear, it means that there will be problems in the distribution of subsequent benefits.

Zhou Linfei's cautiousness obviously did not attract the attention of Gan Qiwen and others.

Perhaps, in their hearts, those netizens can't do anything good.

"Sometimes, Yeluzi is much more useful than the regular army." Zhou Linfei did not continue to emphasize anything, because he knew very well that Zhu Jingping and the others would carry out their instructions very well.

The most important seeds have been planted, and Zhou Linfei is looking forward to the harvest.

Making a map editor is not a difficult task for Zhu Jingping and the others.

Fixed code and ready-made mockups.

All they need to do is to classify and summarize these things.

Let the instructional code be separated from some other codes.

"Although I can understand Brother Zhou's thoughts very well. But, can these netizens really make an eye-catching work?" Fang Shiyou complained while typing the code, "The production of "World of Warcraft" has not yet been completed. , and come up with such a task, it is too difficult for me."

Zhu Jingping glanced at Fang Shiyou, Zhou Linfei did not arrange for him to participate in this plan.

Based on the principle of rational use of resources, Zhu Jingping arrested Fang Shiyou's young man, "There is still time to complain, which means the workload is not big enough."

"World of Warcraft" has reached the final stage.

Whether it is Fang Shiyou or Zhu Jingping, in fact, there is not much to do.

For the rest, Feiyu Games' R&D team will finish the work, and they will naturally be free.

Zhou Linfei was clearly aware of this, otherwise he would not have temporarily added such a task to them.

Zhu Jingping didn't have much opinion on this, "Since Brother Zhou is very optimistic about this map editor, it means that there must be value in it that we haven't seen. Perhaps, players can really surprise us. .”

It may be because the development of Tengyu Studio is too smooth, and there has always been a kind of superiority within the team.

Sometimes, such thoughts and temperament will help them overcome difficulties.

But sometimes, it seems that they are too conceited.

Zhu Jingping realized this very early on. Until now, he feels that this is the unique style of Tengyu Game Studio.

However, now it seems that this is not the case.

Zhu Jingping frowned and continued to do the work at hand.
