Chapter 820: Let's Make a Shooting Online Game!
Stone Age and Magic Baby, the progress of the production of these two games is relatively slow, and even if Brother Pony has the heart to make it, the progress over there can't be faster. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Knocked back again...... Uh-huh, got it...... Good...... Just keep doing it, Japan gives more money, and the workload quadruples, and we still make money. China can't provide this environment, let's take advantage of this opportunity now...... Well, okay, that's all. ”
Brother Pony hung up the phone from a large eastern country, and then rubbed his temples.
Recently, the online games that Brother Xiao Ma got here were made in China.
Although Brother Xiao Ma himself is still in Japan, I have to say that the salary and cost on the Japanese side are definitely higher than that of a large eastern country.
This cost is not just one or two times higher, but much higher.
In Japan, not only are wages high, but other expenses are also high, especially rent and other operating costs.
Brother Pony's QICQ was really popular after DC went public, but before Brother Pony was happy, DC faced a super tragic event, and QICQ's operation in Japan was also hit. Fortunately, the Sega family has a big business, at least the things that should be settled are still settled by Brother Xiaoma.
And after that, because of the popularity of the Mithril platform, Brother Xiaoma still spread the share of qicq.
Although Brother Pony's current penguin company was established with the help of Senxia, what Senxia does is only to provide a platform, and the specific operation still needs to rely on Brother Xiaoma himself.
The most important thing in this regard has been solved, and Brother Xiao Ma can be regarded as relieved. But Senxia's request is not over yet, because at this time, Senxia came up with a plan for four online games and handed it to Brother Xiao Ma to do.
Of course, it is impossible to do game development on the Japanese side, and Xiao Ma's work was sent back to a large eastern country to do, so that it can not only save a lot of costs, but also be very conducive to improving work efficiency and recruiting domestic talents.
Of course, because of the current level of software, it is impossible for Senxia to completely let Xiao Ma Ge here to herd sheep - even Huang Lei, who came to work in Japan, has a lot of problems, let alone transnational?
What Senxia means is not that it can't be handed over to a large eastern country, but that if this matter is handed over to a large eastern country, it is necessary to pay attention to reviewing the code and bugs.
If you can write something in one line of code, you can write it for me in two lines of code, and this is not qualified, and if there is a bug in your code, your code will have to be rewritten for me - this is the requirement of Senxia.
The person in charge of auditing this part is Ayana Amamiya. Although Ayana has always wanted to be a voice actress, I have to admit that she is indeed suitable to be a programmer, and after working in Animic for so long, her level of coding has increased significantly.
Even, even the overall running code of the Mithril platform, as well as the code of the Guilty Crown and the rebellious Lelouch that is being made, have been brushed off by Ayana. The reason why the rebellious Lelouch was able to improve in the subsequent optimization was due to Ayana's great credit.
Ayana, who writes code in a maid's costume, is actually a very subtle landscape in the animic club - it's a pity that she herself wants to be a voice actress.
Far from it.
All in all, with Ayana, the "door god", in front of him, the works on Brother Xiaoma's side are really not so easy to change and be able to pass smoothly.
Brother Pony was on the phone just now, that is, the previous work was called, because the code was not written well enough, so in the end, Ayana stuck Brother Pony's side.
But that's not a problem, because even if you go back three or five times, relatively speaking, they still make money, and they make a lot of money.
Little Pony rubbed his temples.
As far as my current job is concerned, although it is true that making money is making money, I have to say that this money is really tiring.
But Brother Xiao Ma didn't want to give up this job, this is not only his career, but also his ideal.
Ever since he was beaten up because he was sold and stolen, and he was in the hospital, Brother Xiao Ma has been holding his breath and wants to go back and let those people see it.
Previously, Senxia had already told Brother Xiao Ma that the target of these games is the Asia-Pacific region, especially the market of a large eastern country.
Compared with stand-alone games, there is almost no piracy of Internet games, and they can continue to make profits, which is definitely a good thing.
However, at this time, there was a knock on the door of Xiao Ma's office.
After Brother Pony's Japanese secretary went over and opened the door, Mori Xia and Chika walked in.
"Little Pony!"
Senxia had already called Brother Pony before, so when Brother Pony came over at this time, there was no surprise for Brother Pony here.
"Xia Sen. He stood up, and then came to Senxia's side.
"I heard that the Bubble Hall seems to be almost ready?"
Mori Xia had asked about the progress here before.
The games that Brother Pony is working on here, "Stone Age" and "Magic Baby" are about half complete, and the project has been announced, but it is still early to be completed. "Running Kart" has the highest degree of completion, but because the gameplay and mode are too close to "Mario Kart", it is now being corrected, and the only game that has no major problems is the current "Bubble Hall" here.
Bubble Hall, this game is, in a sense, a super-evolved version of the game "Bomb Superman".
The player can release bubbles on the map, and then the bubbles will explode within a certain amount of time, and as long as the player is within the explosion range of the bubbles, they will be sealed by the bubbles and turn into a water bubble. If a friendly player hits a blister, they will be able to save the player, but if a hostile player breaks the blister, the player inside will die. In addition, if you leave it alone for a while, the bubble will burst automatically.
The core gameplay of the game and the game's matchmaking system have been done at this time.
Although it's a bubble hall, but in the matching system, this side uses a similar mode to "Hero Track", the system will automatically match players, except for players inviting to fight, generally speaking, there will be no such setting as establishing a game room by yourself.
However, there are more gameplay in Bubble Hall, and the room mode also has the advantage of the room mode, and Brother Xiao Ma is still doing research here, whether to use the game mode of automatic matching or building + quick joining, which remains to be discussed.
After letting the Japanese secretary make a cup of tea, Mori Xia sat down with Brother Xiaoma.
Chika also sat down with Mori Xia.
When Senxia and Xiaoma talked to each other, Qianjia rarely interjected, because Xiaoma was from a large eastern country, and although Qianjia could understand Chinese, she was still not very clear about the people over there, so at this time, Qianjia would not talk to disturb Senxia's side.
Of course, this is under the circumstance that Qianjia is not on top here.
"That's the case, has Brother Ma considered making this game on DC, and then going to the United States?"
Strictly speaking, the U.S. side prefers games like Gun Ball, but there is no such thing over there right now - it's impossible for Senxia to make a Call of Duty now, right?
Although Senxia thinks this kind of game is exciting, this is not the game Senxia wants to make!
Actually, if he could, Senxia didn't even want to do a game like Magic Baby, he felt that if it was the graphics and controls of the sword spirit, combined with the world view of World of Warcraft, he might be interested here.
But it's a pity that that kind of thing can't be done without time accumulation, this is not only a problem on Senxia's own side, but also a problem of the entire environment - director, the computer performance is not enough, and it is already the limit to be able to do this!
So, this kind of game, do it easily, Senxia will do it, but let Senxia make a ...... from scratch on his own side Uh, Plants vs. Zombies is okay, a big game like Call of Duty...... Forget it.
"I've thought about it. Brother Pony nodded very seriously, "When I first started doing it, I thought that our game might be able to do it on DC game consoles, or even PS2 in the future." ”
Brother Pony is still quite smart.
When Senxia asked Brother Pony to play a game, Brother Pony was able to think about this aspect.
However, in Japan, the sales of online games are not good, so after seeing "Hero Tracks" in front of him, Brother Pony chose to die.
――Well, I tried to run Hero Track in Japan, but it turned out that there were not many people playing at all, and although there were players, it was only a few thousand, and the number of people was only a few hundred at the trough, which was really dwarfed by the popularity in the United States.
Moreover, Senxia also talked to Brother Pony before, and after analyzing it, Brother Pony found that the Japanese really don't like to play online games very much, so in the end, Brother Pony chose to give up this piece.
But this time, Mori Xia is not talking about the Japanese market, but the American market.
Although Brother Xiao Ma doesn't want to care about the situation on the Japanese side, when Sen Xia talks about landing in the United States, Brother Xiao Ma is still very concerned.
In these years, which country is the most attractive to a certain large country in the East?
-- The United States, of course!
At this moment, the United States is at the noon of the empire, and the United States is in the middle of the day, and in the eyes of the vast majority of people in a certain eastern country, it is a lighthouse and a paradise!
can go to the lighthouse country to sell games, even if the game is not popular, Xiao Ma feels that his side is worth it!
"Are you interested in continuing to do it?" asked Senxia again.
Brother Pony immediately nodded: "Yes!"
"Good!" Senxia immediately nodded, with a teachable expression on his face.
But thinking of this, Senxia said again: "By the way, your side of the bubble hall and the go-kart are going to be ready, right? These two games are for our side, if you go to the United States, it's better to get a new game or something, such as ...... Well, the gun. ”
Senxia is not going to do gunfight-related themes, but that doesn't mean that Senxia can't encourage Brother Pony to do it!
"We have a lot of games to play here, and the Americans just like games like cars, guns, and balls, and then casual games, and the direction of our production is to work hard in this direction. ”
Hearing Senxia's words, Brother Xiao Ma couldn't turn around.
"We're going to make a new game?"
Senxia nodded, but then shook his head: "You can do the two games at hand for the time being, and then you can cooperate with Sega DC to land in North America." As for the game after that, it's just a plan, but you can do it if you want to, and the company has enough money. ”
Sen Xia knows that "Magic Baby" and "Stone Age" are both more troublesome games, and Xiao Ma may not really have time now. Therefore, if it can't be done, Senxia is not ready to embarrass Brother Pony, but if Sega comes to Senxia again, Senxia at least has a prepared solution to deal with it.
"Then I'll make a plan. Little Brother Ma thought for a moment.
"Good. Senxia also agreed.
But at this time, Qianjia also spoke: "But Brother Xiao Ma is from a big country in the East, even if he makes a similar shooting game, can the United States buy it?
While they were able to make a similar game, the problem remained.
Qianjia's words are said in Chinese, so it is "the United States" and not "United States", and similarly, Brother Xiao Ma also heard this sentence.
And after hearing Qianjia's words, Brother Xiao Ma also fell into deep thought, because this is indeed a problem.
"Hmm...... That's a real problem. ”
Animic has indeed entered the North American market now, and the game "Hero's Track" is definitely a big kill in the North American market.
But console online games, this is really not easy to get, even if it is a plan, it is a trouble.
Moreover, the more important purpose of Senxia's side is to make money, not to accompany Sega to the funeral - Senxia is still waiting to hug PS2's thighs later!
"However, we can't just make a game and fool other people's results, that is, fool ourselves, which is irresponsible to animic!"
Mori Xia sighed.
Senxia had an idea in his head - the future Overwatch would be very good.
But there's a problem with that, and that's performance.
Now this machine, want to play a game like Overwatch?
Joke!
Even if Senxia makes a reduced version, it won't be able to run!
You're going to say Plants vs. Zombies is pretty much the same!
Eh...... Wait a minute.
Plants vs. Zombies?
Shooting games?
Sen Xia suddenly slapped the case: "That's it!"
He startled both Qianjia and Brother Xiaoma.
......
