Chapter 193: Project Dota
Hearing Chen Ping talk about this, Xu Weihua, Xue Mingtao and others all smiled slightly.
Although the game "Running Kart" has only been in operation for less than three months, in these three short months, everyone has witnessed miracles again and again.
The achievements of the game "Kart Run" are unmatched by any game in the domestic game market, although it is slightly worse in terms of revenue, but it is far more than other online games in other aspects.
For Chen Ping's vision, they have long been convinced. Chen Ping wanted to develop the third game of Guangyu Technology, which they had been looking forward to for a long time.
It's just that they also know very well that the game "Kart Run" has been in operation for a short time.
If another online game is developed now, it will still have a certain impact on "Running Kart", the most popular game on the market at the moment.
Although the two games can coexist in the market, if the newly developed online game can also reach the level of popularity of "Running Kart", it will definitely affect the current performance of "Running Kart".
So during this period of time, Xu Weihua and Xue Mingtao and others have not put forward suggestions for developing the next online game.
However, now Chen Ping took the initiative to say this, which also made Xu Weihua and Xue Mingtao a little excited in their hearts.
They are very clear about Chen Ping's vision and determination, and they are better than them, even Xu Weihua does not dare to say that he can compare with Chen Ping in these two aspects.
Since Chen Ping proposed to develop a third online game, there must be a good reason.
In other words, even if this third online game will have a certain impact on the game "Running Kart", it will definitely outweigh the disadvantages for Guangyu Technology Company.
After Xu Weihua and Xue Mingtao glanced at each other, they hurriedly looked at Chen Ping in front of them.
Especially Xue Mingtao, a workaholic in game development, asked in a hurry and softly, "Mr. Chen, what do you think?"
Chen Ping smiled slightly, and then said with a calm smile: "Xue always remembers, some time ago, I told you about the game "Warcraft"?"
Hearing Chen Ping's words, Xue Mingtao was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Chen Ping in front of him with a puzzled face.
For the game "Warcraft", Xue Mingtao also has a certain understanding. But he didn't know, what Chen Ping mentioned this game for?
Warcraft is not only a single-player game, but you can also create your own maps.
This is also a unique feature of the company that developed this game. While other companies have followed suit, none have done so well.
At present, the game "Warcraft" has been online abroad for a few months, and it has also begun to become popular in China.
Although the number of gamers in China is not too much, it can be regarded as one of the more popular stand-alone games on the market.
It's just that what does the game "Warcraft" have to do with the online game that Guangyu Technology will develop next?
Could it be that Chen Ping wants to imitate the game "Warcraft" and develop a stand-alone game again?
Thinking of this, Xue Mingtao was also a little puzzled, which was a little inconsistent with what Chen Ping said before.
At the moment, Tao didn't have too many scruples, and asked directly: "Mr. Chen, didn't you say before that our company no longer develops stand-alone games?"
After all, the current development of the domestic stand-alone game market is far worse than a few years ago.
Now that we have entered the era of online games, even if stand-alone games can become popular, it is not a long-term solution for our Guangyu Technology Company. ”
Hearing Xue Mingtao's words, Chen Ping also smiled slightly, then waved his hand lightly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xue is too worried, I don't want to overturn what I said before."
Next, the third game that we will develop in Guangyu Technology Company cannot be regarded as a simple stand-alone game, and it can even be said that it cannot be regarded as a real game. ”
Chen Ping's words immediately made Xu Weihua and Xue Mingtao full of doubts, and after glancing at each other, they couldn't help but express their doubts.
Chen Ping also understood the questions of the two of them. After all, this concept has not really become popular, and it is normal for the two of them to have no way to understand it.
However, Chen Ping smiled and asked, "Has Mr. Xue ever played the game "Warcraft"?"
Xue Mingtao hesitated for a moment, then shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "That's not true." "Warcraft" is a game, although it is extremely popular abroad.
But in China, it has only just entered the market for a short time. It's not quite a hit yet.
And recently, the affairs of Coslight Technology Company have been relatively busy, and I don't have much time to try other games. ”
Chen Ping smiled and nodded, and he didn't mean to blame Sun Mingtao, which in itself was not a mistake.
At that moment, Chen Ping was silent for a moment, and then smiled softly: "Actually, it's very simple to say, although the game "Warcraft" itself is a stand-alone game.
But he's also a gaming platform. On this platform, players, game studios and even game companies can use this game to create their own maps.
Developed a variety of game modes, presumably Mr. Xue still knows something, right?"
Xue Mingtao also nodded, although he had not personally played the game "Warcraft", he still had a certain understanding of the setting of this game.
The design of the self-created map of the game "Warcraft" launched by Blizzard is also an extremely rare idea on the market.
Many players have the nature of developing their own maps, but the vast majority of the developed maps are just internal entertainment for a small group of players, and they are not widely circulated, let alone too profitable.
Developing this kind of game map is not too complicated, and with the help of the game's map development tools, it is very simple to develop a game map.
But the production will not be so sophisticated, so there will not be much market.
It is precisely because of this that Xue Mingtao is a little puzzled by Chen Ping's words, and I don't know why Chen Ping mentioned this matter?
Chen Ping didn't mean to sell it, and directly explained with a smile: "The third game developed by our Guangyu Technology Company cannot be regarded as a stand-alone game.
It's not an online game, it's just a game map.
But I'm sure that as long as this game map has sufficient publicity means, and if it can reach a certain cooperation with Blizzard, this game map will definitely be able to quickly become popular, and even sweep the world.
Moreover, it will also become a milestone in the history of the whole world's games, completely opening the prelude to a new era of games!"
Chen Ping said this, which immediately aroused the great interest of Xu Weihua and Xue Mingtao.
However, the two of them did not interrupt Chen Ping, but listened quietly.
Subsequently, Chen Ping also briefly talked about his own ideas and analyzed the development prospects of this game map.
This simple narrative alone took more than half an hour.
After Chen Ping said this, Xu Weihua and Xue Mingtao fell into a long period of contemplation and shock.
Both of them are also old men in online game development, especially Xue Mingtao, who is one of the most professional people in this field, so he knows it very well.
If the game map Chen Ping said is really developed, even if it can't reach the point of the world, the achievements that can be achieved should not be underestimated!
As for whether it can really reach the level that Chen Ping said, it still needs to be tested by the market.
However, Chen Ping did not have any doubts in his heart about this. Because the game map that Chen Ping wants to develop is the Dota map that almost any gamer in his previous life is familiar with.
Although the Dota map is just a self-created game map in Warcraft, the fame of the Dota map is far greater than that of the game itself.
And this game has officially opened a new era of games.
It is the opening of this game that 5v5 real-time competitive games really appear in front of the majority of gamers!
Starting from "Dota", to the later "League of Legends", and even the mobile game - "Honor of Kings", etc., their prototypes are all Dota maps, but the styles are different.
So, it's no exaggeration to say that this game ushered in a whole new era of gaming.
Chen Ping also has great confidence in this game, which is also the most important step in his long-term plan for the development of online games by Coslight Technology.
After the launch of Dota, after the 5v5 real-time competitive game became completely popular around the world, Chen Ping could consider starting to develop the two games "League of Legends" and "Honor of Kings".
You must know that these two games have almost exploded the whole world, and the room for profit is far beyond the imagination of normal people.
It can even be said that the real profitability of these two games is almost impossible to match. This is definitely a milestone step for Coslight Technology.
However, for this game, although Chen Ping has explained it very clearly, Xu Weihua and Xue Mingtao still have many questions about many aspects of this game, especially in terms of publicity and promotion.
For a whole day, the three of them, plus Wang Yang, and the four senior executives of the entire Guangyu Technology Company, had a long discussion in Chen Ping's office.
In the end, Chen Ping also completely persuaded Xu Weihua and Xue Mingtao to finalize the third game to be developed by Guangyu Technology Company.
Don't look at the Dota map is just a game map in the single-player game of World of Warcraft, but the difficulty of developing it is not too small.
Even if it is not as good as developing an online game directly, the investment required is greater, but the accuracy required for the game, and even the balance within the game, etc., need to be carefully considered.
If you develop this game from scratch, the amount of time and effort required is also a figure that cannot be ignored.
But with Chen Ping's participation, the development of this game seems to have become countless times easier. After all, Chen Ping in his previous life was also a loyal fan of the game Dota.
