Chapter 149: Border Tower
After deciding on the engine, Mao Yi couldn't sit still.
First went to EpicGames with Yaya and Lin Zhiling.
After some negotiations, it was easy to negotiate the right to use Unreal 3.
It's a trifle after all.
After leaving EpicGames, Mao Yi and others returned to China non-stop.
At this time, "The Lonely Desert Traveler", "The Rabbit is You" and "The Hunter" have passed the version number review and are ready for release.
Nowadays, it is not the afterlife of the version number winter, and the game version number is still easy to obtain.
Of course, the international version is also ready to be released on the Steam international version.
So far, the company has to wait for only the completion of the two games "Demon's Souls" and "Ancient Sword and Strange Tales".
Among them, the development progress of "Ancient Sword and Strange Tales" has been pushed to 70%, and "Demon's Souls" has been pushed to 40%.
It is expected that by the end of the year, the finished product will be ready.
However, Mao Yi began to recruit again.
Originally, Mao Yi didn't plan to develop the game.
After all, the game department has been investing all the time, and it is not yet time to pay off.
But now that you have bought the right to use Unreal Three, you naturally have to consider a return issue.
No one can know a little more than Mao Yi.
The most expensive game is the free game!
Not to mention the almost homogeneous games of the goose farm.
In the future, if there are no krypton gold points in the game, some people will not be able to play it.
Of course, this refers to online games.
However, although Mao Yi planned to play online games, he did not give a lot of kryptonite points.
Since he plans to make an FPS-type online game, he naturally has his own considerations.
In his previous life, Mao Yi played many PFS-type online games.
The most famous in the country should belong to CF and Counterwar.
Especially the latter.
Originally, Counterwar was only developed as a user expansion version of CF.
The original purpose was to continue the popularity of CF.
Gradually, however, the types of CF and counter-war gradually became different.
The former is dominated by PVP operations, while the latter is dominated by PVE.
Of course, as an FPS type of game, it was born out of CS.
But obviously, the latter is inferior to CF in PVP mode, but in PVE mode, it is extremely friendly to players who like to "fight zombies".
Well, it's that krypton is more serious.
The most typical point is that the original promise of the highest krypton gold was only 888 yuan of epic firearms in the counter-war, and later launched a full set of epic suits that cost 3,000 red bills.
The most speechless thing is that this kind of set is one set a year, and then the set that was launched before is directly reduced to auxiliary equipment!
It's just heartless!
In his previous life, Mao Yi had a deep evil thought about this game.
But there is no way.
With the rise of the mobile game market, the terminal game is gradually going to be lonely, this is the game of the goose field, in order to complete the target, can only continue to develop new guns, new payment points, resulting in complete data chaos, weapons scrapped.
Now that he wants to make an FPS type game, Mao Yi naturally doesn't want to take that old path.
The main thing is that it doesn't make sense.
The game must have a story mode.
The first story mode is to make a tower.
Climb the tower.
It's a very interesting setting.
This time, Mao Yi's re-recruited staff also caused a lot of doubts in the industry.
Now Bilibili's game research department has expanded to 50 employees, yes, Bilibili is not bad for money, but why does it still need to recruit people?
And then this time, there is a very remarkable one.
That is, it is required to have experience in the production of FPS type games.
It's weird.
Is Bilibili going to launch an FPS-type online game?
Nowadays, there are two types of FPS games in China.
One is online games, which are mainly CF.
One is a stand-alone machine, which is mainly CS.
The market has been completely filled with both games.
And the most surprising thing is that not long ago, a company announced that it would develop a CS online game, and now it is undergoing intense behind-the-scenes testing, and it is expected to be launched soon.
At such a time, Mao Yi suddenly jumped out and said that he also wanted to make FPS-type online games.
Could it be that Mao Yi can still come up with a whole new type of game?
This upcoming big battle has also attracted the attention of many people.
Soon, a project team for an FPS-type game named "Border Tower" was formed.
Mao Yi also came up with his own business plan.
It is said to be a business case, but in fact it is a set of requirements.
First of all, there must be a story mode.
Just this one, it directly blinded all employees.
So far, among the FPS games in the world, only COD is a PFS game with a story mode, and COD's multiplayer mode has always been a pitfall.
In fact, many people just play COD as a stand-alone game.
Multiplayer?
What is that?
So far, no online game in the world has a story mode.
But Mao Yi directly asked for the plot mode, and there was a requirement behind it.
The starting game is not less than five hours of playtime!
The project producers of "Border Tower" almost collapsed.
Oh yes, forgot a little.
The producer of this project is an employee who was recruited into the company before, named Wang Qiang.
Because when he learned that the company was going to develop FPS-type games, he took the initiative to find Mao Yi and asked to join it, but Mao Yi did not refuse, and even directly parachuted him into the project producer.
Hearing Mao Yi's request, Wang Qiang realized how sad he was.
But there is no way, what can you do if the boss asks for it?
Let's do it, fortunately, with the help of Unreal Engine 3, it's not difficult.
The second point is that the gun is required to have a good sense.
It's a headache.
Who knows what's going on with whether the gun feels good or not?
Even if there is a special person in charge of the test, I don't know what Mao Yi's request for "good" means.
The third point is to require the game to put an epic weapon fire unicorn on the shelves, priced at 888 yuan red banknotes.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Not to mention Wang Qiang, the other staff recruited this time have all participated in the development of FPS-type games, so they naturally know the importance of krypton gold points.
"Boss, is there anything else?" Wang Qiang looked at the business plan, although he was MMP in his heart, he still asked respectfully on his face.
"No more. ”
"Eh?" Wang Qiang was stunned for a moment, and asked with some puzzlement: "Boss, ......what is the payment point?"
"Isn't that there? an epic weapon of 888 red bills, the Fire Qilin. Mao Yi asked curiously.
"Just one?"
"Yes, oh, by the way, the paid items in the mall are a fire unicorn, and other weapons...... You can buy and liver to. ”
"Uh-" Wang Qiang was stunned.
How can there be a game with only one paypoint?
And it's still 888 red banknotes?
What if no one buys it?
"The boss...... Epic Weapon Damage ......"
"Don't hurt. Mao Yi thought for a while and said casually: "Epic weapons are made into experience bonuses and gold coins, and then when you enter the room, you can make special effects such as golden light appear on the characters." ”
"Huh? Do you want to make it TPS?"
"Nonsense, of course not. ”
"Then why ......"
"Do you understand the skin?"
"What...... What do you mean?" asked Wang Qiang with some embarrassment. Take a hundred plating on the latest chapter of "I'm a Superstar Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
