Genius Game Planning

Chapter 211 We Are a Partnership

"May I ask Mr. Liu, what was the reason for the design of this game at the beginning? What prompted you to make a game on the mobile platform? Is it because of our operating system?"

"Yes, not exactly. I don't know if you know it, but my company is also making an operating system on the mobile phone platform called myth. Of course you should know it. After all, Snake is only in our Myth system is running on the myth system. We set up a project to develop the myth system, and the initial idea was derived from your ibos system. It’s just that we want to make an open-source system, which may be different from your concept.” Liu Neng said .

He continued, "Of course, you should have your own considerations, which may be based on security considerations and so on. And Snake is only designed for our myth system, that's all. As for COK, you You are right, at the beginning of the design of this game, I wanted to open up multiple platforms, not only our myth system, but also ibos, page games, and maybe even we will release a micro-end to integrate several platforms. To unify. Let any player use any platform to enjoy this game without hindrance."

Curry praised, "Although we are a relatively closed system, we are still very interested in Mr. Liu's idea."

"Next, I have a few more questions that I need to ask Mr. Liu. It is an important note about this cooperation: First of all, this game is not currently on sale on any channels, right? Including promotional information, etc."

Liu Neng nodded, "No, if you have a need for the first release, I can slightly change some of the original plans. Another point is, if you really want us to release the ibos version of the game, I hope to sign a contract. Pay me a certain fee..."

Both Curry and Abel were stunned. No one had ever mentioned payment after accepting ibal's invitation - even if it was payment, it should be the partner who wanted ibal to pay!
God knows, this cooperation is equivalent to making such a big advertisement for the partner.

Liu Neng didn't seem to see the unbelievable expressions of the two, and continued, "I hope you understand that we also have our own operating system. In theory, our own games should be launched on our own system instead of It's working with you."

Curry reacted, obviously did not prepare the relevant meeting content in advance, and said slightly apologetically, "Although this matter is not a particularly big agenda, we need an official meeting to discuss it. I don't think it is For things that are unacceptable, we will agree on a paid invitation amount, which should not disappoint Mr. Liu."

Liu Neng smiled, "Naturally, I also have a lot of goodwill for this cooperation. But you know, I always think that we are a cooperation, and I don't know other companies. I want to gain the popularity of the ibal brand! "

Curry laughed, "Mr. Liu's English level is very good, which will be of great help to the press conference in the future. I don't seem to have seen a better young Chinese like you."

"Mr. Kuli, thank you!"

After a little discussion about the rest of the matter, and after finalizing the basic links, Liu Neng and Abel temporarily returned to Riot Company, took a brief look at the current company's operations, and then returned to Abel's home.

On the way, Abel has been complaining about the cooperation with ibal during the day. He thinks that Liu Neng is a bit careless, and being able to cooperate with ibal, especially as a guest speaker at the ibos3 press conference, will be particularly worthwhile. something to look forward to.But it is very likely that this opportunity will be lost because of some actions just now.

"Abel, you have to understand that we didn't beg for cooperation with him, but the other party invited me. Another point, the new version of the ibos system obviously wants to evolve towards entertainment. This means that they There needs to be a very representative game to support the scene. Do you think there is any company that has made a mobile game comparable to cok?" He quite disagreed with Abel's point of view.

Abel thought for a while, "I admit that what you said makes sense."

"When I was in the company just now, I saw that your event operation is indeed very rudimentary. Is it just a matter of lack of funds?"

"The lack of funds is naturally a very important thing. Another point is that we lack relevant talents. Everyone lacks support for Dota competitions. Big game companies are conservative and unwilling to invest in a new track. and manpower. They are more willing to do Warcraft series of e-sports, and some gun games. Another important point is that the ownership of dota is not in their hands. This is an uncontrollable factor for them For me, it is risky to invest money and manpower in an event that you do not have full control over."

"This is indeed a headache. But in the final analysis, it is actually a problem of lack of funds, I think." Liu Neng smiled, "It is undeniable that there are indeed many people who are very persistent and very ethical; but The vast majority of people are actually chasing interests, especially since the United States is a commercial country, and this atmosphere is even more obvious."

"Maybe tomorrow, I can go to your company to have a look. I want to see what kind of games you are working on." When Liu Neng came last time, his company was not yet fully prepared. Huaxia, this scale, that is, the early stage of Venus Studio, is completely a small workshop.

Of course, it is undeniable that even if it is a small workshop, it is still a fun game made by Nen Gang.The point is, it seemed that nothing had started at that time. Everyone held endless meetings to decide the theme and type of the new game, but there was no one who could make up their minds.

Abel was a little embarrassed, "Actually, my company has almost been dissolved."

Liu Neng froze for a moment, "What happened?"

"There are a lot of things, the main reason is that everyone's ideas about making games are not very compatible. My idea is to make a game that can sell money first, and then consider the expansion of enrollment. But Sandor insisted that if you want to make a game, you must It must be a masterpiece and a 3A game. As for the shortage of funds, it is not within the scope of his consideration. I personally need to care about the operation of the company. We have no money to make a 3A masterpiece. Tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars Investment, I have no money..."

Liu Neng smiled and said, "Let me guess, did that Sandel run away again with some people, and now there are not many people in your company?"

“To be precise, it’s just me and two other friends. They’re working part-time. We’re working on a very small game, but if we continue to do it, I don’t think it’s possible for this game to be profitable… This frustrates me!"
