Chapter 243: The Journey
In his previous life, Chen Ping was just a programmer, and the program he was responsible for designing didn't have much to do with online games.
So strictly speaking, although online games are also program development, the problem is that Chen Ping doesn't know much about the problems of online game development.
The only thing he can surpass ordinary people is his understanding of various online games.
After all, Chen Ping in his previous life was also a hardcore player.
Chen Ping's mentality is also extremely optimistic, if it weren't for this, Chen Ping in his previous life had experienced several major blows, I am afraid that he would have been disheartened and completely lost hope in life, and might even commit suicide because of this, and there would be no chance of reincarnation and rebirth at all.
So in the midst of difficult difficulties, he did not forget to find something for himself to relax.
Playing online games is one of Chen Ping's most important methods.
So in his previous life, his understanding of online games was far beyond ordinary people.
It's just that I don't understand too much about the technical terms and so on.
The data streaming game that Chen Ping is talking about is actually extremely simple to say.
Most of the online games that appear on the market today are determined by the first-level attributes.
The so-called first-level attributes are strength, physique, agility, intelligence, and so on.
Increasing Strength can increase the health and physical attack of the game character, and increasing Intelligence can increase the mana and magic attack of the game character.
This is also extremely easy to understand, and as a veteran developer of online games, Xue Mingtao understands this very easily.
Almost as soon as Chen Ping proposed this concept, he already understood.
The so-called second-level attributes are attributes that directly improve the combat effectiveness of the character, such as directly increasing physical attack power, magic attack power, etc., which is more intuitive and effective.
Players don't need to use the first-level attribute to make complicated and cumbersome conversions, just directly improve the second-level attribute.
A game that directly improves the second-level attributes can be called a data flow game.
At present, there is no such data flow game in the domestic market, and most of the games are now following the old routine, and there are many settings about strength, intelligence, and so on in the game.
Only by improving these can you further improve the secondary attributes and enhance the combat effectiveness of the game characters.
But in this way, it is difficult for gamers to calculate what specific impact will improving these attribute points have on their own combat effectiveness?
However, the data flow game is completely different, directly improving the secondary attributes in all aspects, which can more intuitively let gamers see the combat effectiveness of their game characters.
In this way, online games become much simpler.
You must know that most domestic gamers like simple and clear games, and if the game design is too complex, gamers are likely to gradually lose interest.
This is also the fundamental reason why many games in the previous life have inexplicably decayed.
However, the concept of data flow proposed by Chen Ping is easier for Xue Mingtao, a senior practitioner of game development, to accept.
Xue Mingtao is also extremely clear about the development of the game market, and he knows very well how much of a sensation it will cause if domestic gamers see such a data streaming game appear on the market.
It is precisely because of this that Xue Mingtao and Chen Pingzai carefully discussed the whole day.
For such a long time, Xue Mingtao not only had an accurate understanding of the concept of data flow games, but more importantly, Xue Mingtao also put forward some suggestions that made Chen Ping's eyes shine.
I have to say that Xue Mingtao's ability is extremely strong, even among all the game development technicians in China, Xue Mingtao is second to none.
The reason why Xue Mingtao in his previous life was not well-known was just because he did not have a good platform.
Major online game companies already have talents who can take the lead, and if a talent like Xue Mingtao joins those online game companies, it will definitely conflict with the original talent.
It is precisely because of this that although Xue Mingtao's ability is extremely good, not even weaker than the game development manager of any top online game development company, he just can't find a good platform.
It is precisely because of this that Xue Mingtao in his previous life will appear obscure.
However, in this life, with such a platform as Guangyu Technology Company, Xue Mingtao's ability can be fully exerted.
Sometimes, the suggestions and concepts put forward by Xue Mingtao made even Chen Ping, a gamer with a vision of his previous life, a little excited.
He can imagine how much impact it will have on the entire game market if these suggestions of Xue Mingtao are integrated into the fourth online game to be developed by Coslight Technology.
The two discussed for a long time, and finally officially decided on the fourth online game to be developed by Coslight Technology.
In fact, sometimes, when deciding what type of online game Coslight Technology Company wants to develop, Chen Ping is also a little hesitant.
After all, it's only 04 years now, and not all online games can be developed.
After all, the level of computers on the market is not as developed as in the previous life, and even if some online games are developed, if they are not streamlined, the current computers will not be able to support the operation of those online games at all.
However, once it is streamlined, even Chen Ping has no way to judge how far it will be streamlined, so that such an online game can still cause popularity in the market.
Therefore, Chen Ping can choose to develop online games, but there are not so many.
But fortunately, during this period of 04 years, the domestic online game market is the most rapid development, all kinds of classic online games are about to appear on the market, Chen Ping's choice is not many, but you need to think carefully, consider what kind of benefits these online games have for the future development of Guangyu Technology Company.
After a whole day of discussion, Chen Ping, Xue Mingtao and others also finally decided on the fourth game to be developed by Guangyu Technology Company.
This game is based on the concept of a data streaming game proposed by Chen Ping.
Although the current strength of Guangyu Technology Company is quite good, in Chen Ping's view, the current Guangyu Technology Company has not accumulated extremely strong strength, and it is not impossible to develop an online game with Guangyu Technology Company itself.
But it's not so easy to make this online game completely sensational in the market.
Therefore, Chen Ping can only follow the old path, propose the framework of an online game, and participate in the preliminary design and planning of the entire online game by himself.
Only in this way can we ensure that the online games developed by Coslight Technology can be completely popular.
The fourth online game finalized by Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. to be developed is also recognized as an epoch-making creation in the history of Chinese games in Chen Ping's previous life.
It is precisely because of the leadership of this online game that many money-burning games have appeared on the market, and for more than ten years, the online game market in China has hardly changed much, and the root cause is in this online game.
And this online game is also known as the online game with the strongest ability to attract money in the history of online games in China.
It is Chen Ping's previous life, the journey developed by Giant Network.
When the game Journey was first put into the market, it completely detonated the entire game market.
Although in later generations, many online gamers commented that the game Journey was criticized, but this game can definitely be called one of the most classic games in the history of Chinese games, and even created countless records that other online games cannot surpass.
It wasn't until the advent of the entire Internet era that the record set by this online game was slowly broken.
However, if you want to reach the heights that this online game once reached, almost no online game can do it.
Chen Ping had also played this online game at the beginning, and his understanding of this online game was also very profound.
But the problem is that since this online game is known as one of the most money-absorbing online games in the history of Chinese online games, if you want to play this game well, it must be extremely money-burning.
Chen Ping in his previous life was a poor ghost, and he didn't have too much money to invest in the game, and it was precisely because of this that Chen Ping was just for fun in this game, and he was not a strong gamer at all.
And those high-profile tough gamers, each of them has invested at least tens of millions.
You must know that there are still a lot of local tyrants in this world, and if you put it in the eyes of ordinary people, investing tens of millions in an online game is simply incredible.
However, in this regard, Chen Ping in his previous life had already seen it.
Of course, to develop this game, Chen Ping also needs to bear a lot of pressure.
The three games developed by Coslight Technology before, whether it is a stand-alone game such as Plants vs. Zombies, an online game such as a go-kart, or a real-time competitive game such as Dota Map, no matter which game, the investment required is not too high.
Although it has caused great popularity in the market, in fact, these three games are not money-burning games at all, and their ability to attract money is mediocre.
In these three games, many local tyrant players have money in their hands but have no direction to invest at all.
But it is precisely because of this that Guangyu Technology has always had an excellent reputation in the online game circle and is warmly supported by ordinary players.
However, now, once Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. develops the game Journey in its original form, it will directly break the image that Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. has established before.
This is not something Chen Ping is happy to see.
So after thinking about it, Chen Ping and Xue Mingtao carefully discussed it for a whole day, and then they determined the final game mode of this game.
Of course, for the game of Journey, Chen Ping and Xue Mingtao only discussed a general framework, and they had a clear idea of all aspects involved in this game.
However, if you want to fully carry out the pre-game design, it still needs a period of research.
Chen Ping, who was in his previous life, was very aware of the shortcomings of the game in all aspects, and also knew that such a game, if it appeared on the market in its original form, would definitely deal a huge blow to the reputation of Guangyu Technology.
At that time, although Guangyu Technology Company was able to make a lot of money with the help of the game Journey, the reputation that it had worked so hard to accumulate would be ruined, which was not what Chen Ping wanted to see.
