i really just want to play games

Chapter 214 Give them a lottery

But there are too many incredible things in this universe. In such a large space, it is better to say that everything is possible than everything is unimaginable.

These three basic technology trees are only preliminary ideas at present, and Chen Tiancai plans to add several more in the later stage.

Moreover, these technology tree systems are completely separate, and there will be no mix-ups.

And the starting method of these technology trees is not the player's own choice, but in the background of "Anthem 3", players will discover the technology left by ancient civilizations in this new human colony, and then apply it.

There is no problem with this setting, because there is a school of cosmic civilization that thinks:

Since the birth of the universe has exceeded 100 billion years, in such a long time span, human beings may really be the only intelligent life in the entire universe within tens of thousands of years.

When the earth was in the age of dinosaurs, perhaps intelligent life in the universe had already entered the universe and established galaxy civilizations.

But when human beings may perish after hundreds of thousands of years, the intelligent life in a certain space has just learned to polish stone tools.

If you look at it this way, "Anthem 3" will generally be similar to that kind of city-building game, except that this time the stage is the entire planet, and players will mobilize various resources to start from a pioneering point and completely transform the entire planet. planet.

Of course, there are various obstacles during this period. The minor ones are of course all kinds of strange disasters on this planet. There may be habitable planets, but there are very few stable ecosystems and geological systems like the earth.

When players randomly find some habitable planets that are still in a relatively primitive geological period, they should face these horrible disasters.

During the development process, players will also choose various political systems to rule the planet. From another perspective, it will also affect the subsequent game experience.

And after each technology tree reaches its peak, it naturally has the possibility of transforming the planet, and then continuing to explore the outer space.

In the outer space, there may be other greater crises lurking, or other intelligent civilizations and the like.

Chen Tiancai has not yet considered whether to add this point, because if it is added in this way, the volume of "Anthem 3" will be doubled, and Chen Tiancai's positioning for "Anthem 3" is still a small-scale strategy game. Although it can be played repeatedly, the approximate clearance time for each pass is five to ten hours, depending on the player's proficiency.

So far, the basic concept of "Anthem 3" has been completed, and the rest will naturally be slowly made in the world editor.

Of course, An Qinghuan and Shen Jianxing provided the original pictures and music. This time, the workload is slightly larger, mainly because some special buildings under the technology tree need to consume his imagination, while the volume of music is very small. Four or five songs are enough.

After conceiving, Chen Tiancai called Zhang Xiaoyu and asked her to post a new message on Zange Network's social account.

[Preparing to start making "Anthem 3". 】

Soon, this news appeared under all the president accounts of Zange Network.

Zhang Xiaoyu was already familiar with this, and asked Chen Tiancai to put on a pose. With his charming smile, the fans of Zange Network immediately exploded, and the number of comments on this news began to increase rapidly.

Due to the release of "Legend Chang'an", the traffic on various social platforms of Zange Network also began to explode, and all of them together reached almost 500 million fans.

This is a rare status, because Zange Network did not spend marketing money for these fans, it was all real.

Zange Network is also named the most stingy account by these fans, because so far, none of the accounts have sent out a lucky draw.

"This is Boss Chen, so handsome!"

"So handsome!"

Chen Tiancai has just experienced quick thinking, so now he starts to check the comments below, which can be regarded as a break.

Seeing a few comments on his appearance, he glanced directly, after all, he was tired of reading them in the past 25 or six years.

"In? Boss Chen, get a collector's edition of "Legend Chang'an"!"

"It's the 180th time. If you don't draw a lottery, I will really cancel it! (dog head)"

Chen Tiancai didn't usually look at his company's account, but when he saw this kind of reply, he immediately said to Zhang Xiaoyu, "Let's do a lottery too."

Zhang Xiaoyu was overjoyed, clapped his hands and said, "That's great, I won't be called stingy at last."

"Well, from now on, every time the company's establishment day, game sales exceed a certain amount, and when you think it's appropriate, you can directly announce the lottery." Chen Tiancai laughed.

Then he added: "Today, I will draw [-] copies of the regular edition of "Legend Chang'an" and [-] copies of the season pass edition. Both of these are redemption codes. Finally, I will ask the manufacturer how many collector's editions are in stock. Go and ask for ten copies for a lucky draw."

"Okay!" Miss Xiaoyu was very happy, after all, everyone would be happy to be the God of Wealth.

Looking at her lively appearance, Chen Tiancai shook his head with a smile, thinking that this girl and Pei Guangming really matched in temperament.

It's just that he had some doubts about what Feng Bi said when he asked for leave that day when he was drunk.

Such a cute little girl, will she really let her boyfriend buy durians and kneel down?

The lottery drawing was just a small episode in daily work, Chen Tiancai didn't care about it after finishing it, and started to think about another problem.

That is, should the current Anthem Network build its own PC platform?

"We have made every effort, and now Anthem Network has only produced four games. It is definitely a waste to build a PC platform for just such a few games."

He frowned and thought about it, and first began to consider the question of cost and value.

In the long run, it is a good thing to have a platform of your own, because if you sell games on your own platform, then of course there will be no commission from third-party platforms, which can maximize profits.

However, considering the relatively solid player base, if you want to take food from industry giants like the steam platform, you need a lot of money.

It took almost five years for E Club's mall to spend countless real money from investors and itself, and it only currently occupies more than 20.00% of the player base on the PC platform.

Moreover, these players also have accounts on the steam platform. Many times when buying games, they don't consider the platform of E Club, but only think about the free games they give away for free.

"Forget it for the time being, but we can start with the world engine first." Chen Tiancai decided to follow suit after thinking about the operation of E Agency.

E Club's virtual engine is the same as the world engine, which allows commercial use.

There are ready-made templates for many materials in game development now, and you can just buy them directly in the engine store. Many companies also regard this as a business.
