Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 298
XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.

The hosts of the three major platforms of the game industry were released at the same time, with a huge momentum, as if some grand event was being held, and even the popularity of some top singers releasing new albums could not be surpassed.

The logic behind this is actually very simple, it is nothing more than a question of how much money is spent.

Among the three major platforms, the weakest belongs to [Dragon Scale Game].

But [Dragon Scale Game] has no technology research and development costs. The core processors and cassettes are all provided by [Thunder Research Center]. Even the unique "Dragon Scale UI" design is the technology provided here. Then it will be modified and optimized by [Dragon Scale Game]'s own design department.

After excluding the cost of "technology research and development", [Dragon Scale Game] only needs to sell the console at a price close to the cost, and then do a good job in operations, production, after-sales, new game releases, etc., and you can make money lying down .

[Thunder Games] never regarded it as a competitor, and the two companies were not at the same level from the beginning.

And as for the [Phoenix Group] on the opposite side?
They spent billions to enter the arena strongly, and their purpose was to snipe [Thunder Game], and naturally they looked down on [Dragon Scale Game], and were too lazy to target the latter.

This also leads to-

[Thunder Game] and [Phoenix Group] are fighting fiercely, while [Dragon Scale Game] hides low-key and quietly sells game consoles, saying that it will not get involved in this excitement.

……

Tian Moyun did not continue to pay attention to this matter.

In fact, after he posted a post on [Starry Sky Post Bar], he didn't care anymore.

I am not an almighty God, and Jin Ge, Lu Wenbo and other corporate executives are not stupid, and they can completely act alone.

at the moment--

Tian Moyun felt a little headache, but it was actually the "card game" mentioned in the previous post.

At that time, I didn't think much about it. I didn't even create a design draft document, so I directly said that I would release a card game. Now that I think about it, it's a bit sloppy.

He originally wanted to transfer "Three Kingdoms" over.

In the previous life on Earth, "Three Kingdoms Killing" was considered a very popular and popular card, and it was also a smash hit. If it weren't for the operators' various unrestricted killings, it wouldn't be so cold so quickly.

Of course, it's not just the operator's problem.

Although "Three Kingdoms" was very popular, it was catching up with a special period at that time, and it was impossible to be popular for too long, and the operators' various fancy tricks only accelerated the decline of this popular game.

But at heart, it's a good game.

Needless to say.

But the problem Tian Moyun is facing now is... there is no Romance of the Three Kingdoms in this world.

The characters and the stories behind them in "Three Kingdoms" cannot be established. If they are directly forced into the players of the modern era, they will only feel strange and repulsive.

Therefore, this requires a "localization".

Find some IPs that have been popular recently and are well-known nationwide to replace them, and simply modify the characters and the stories behind them according to the IPs.

But what IP is suitable?

This thing can’t be searched randomly. The story of the Three Kingdoms behind the “Three Kingdoms” in the previous life is well known, but 100% of the players have at least heard of the name “Three Kingdoms”, and more than 90% of the players know the story of the Three Kingdoms. Those who don't know will also be interested in it and take the initiative to learn about it.

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is one of the four famous novels in Tian Moyun's hometown in the previous life. This kind of IP is extremely valuable. "Three Kingdoms Killing" can be spread quickly, and the contribution of the IP of the Three Kingdoms is not low.

can never...

In order to release "Three Kingdoms Killing", he also moved out "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", right?
That's a little too much.

……

The card set of "Three Kingdoms" is intended to be used as an online game.

The previously released "Flying Bird" has almost lost its popularity recently, with only tens of thousands of downloads per month, and they are all early adopters, and there are basically not many old players who are still playing.

after all--

The biggest highlight of this game is nothing more than the leaderboard and the two-player mode. The gameplay is very simple and it is really impossible to maintain the popularity.

And the next real online game "My Homeland" has been handed over to [Happy Game Company].

The design team is working overtime, various gameplay tests, numerical calculations, and also refer to the social, human, and interactive nature of human beings, and how to arouse the player's impulse to play, so that they like such a game and love the business. , building, and trading and other interactions with other players...

The complexity of the design of "My Homeland" far surpasses any previous game, and it cannot be made within three to five months by visual estimation.

Even if it is made, various internal tests have to be carried out, and it will take a long time before it can be officially released.

……

During this period of time, there seemed to be no interactive games to play on [Xing Kong Computer].

"Flying Bird" has recently come close to being cool, fulfilling its original mission. (Guide game companies to extend and develop games in this direction)
But the embarrassing part is——

Even with Tian Moyun's enthusiastic demonstration, those game manufacturers still choose to release old stand-alone games, and they don't even bother to engage in this "interactive mode", which makes Tian Moyun very puzzled.

Just modifying a model can make a lot of money, why not do it?

Now the developers are so arrogant that they don't even make money?

He has always wondered, although the current stage of computer games makes less money, but mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are, what are these people thinking?

Until the new machines of [Thunder Game] and [Dragon Scale Game] were released, Tian Moyun seemed to understand when he saw the dazzlingly rich lineup of games.

Computer games are at best "mosquito meat", while console games are "braised pork".

Why don't people eat the braised pork and come to eat your mosquito legs?
……

So this also led to the fact that even though Tian Moyun earned a seven-figure income with "Flying Bird", there are still no manufacturers interested in this field.

At most, they just make a system adaptation of the old games in the past, and then throw them over for "bad money".

As for "specially" developing interactive *** for the computer?

Huh, it doesn't exist.

Tian Moyun also couldn't laugh or cry at this phenomenon. He couldn't count on the three wonderful games "Digging for Ascension", "Iwanna", and "Contra: Age of Technology", right?
Besides, this is also a stand-alone version.

Except for a logo after customs clearance, there is no interaction between players at all.

then--

In this kind of helplessness, he had no choice but to throw out a trump card, which was "Three Kingdoms Killing" that he came up with in a flash of inspiration.

There will be two versions of "Three Kingdoms", namely the computer side and the paper card. The profit methods of the two sides are completely different, but the gameplay is similar, and the computer side is richer.

……

"The best way now is to replace the characters of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and use the popular IP of "The Condor Heroes" to operate the game."

Tian Moyun pondered: "However, what should be the name of this game? It's not appropriate to continue calling it "Three Kingdoms Killing", why not just call it... "Killing the Eagles"?"
