Chapter 299: Game Project

Ma Xiaoyang nodded and walked into the office with Yi Mingyue.

Yi Mingyue said as she walked: "This game industry is not like others, it pays attention to model creativity, so as long as there is a good game mode idea, it is still necessary to pay attention to confidentiality, otherwise peers will get the news, they will be able to analyze the model of a new game from a few words, so as to develop a homogeneous game."

The key issue is that it is difficult to verify whether this kind of homogeneous game is infringing in terms of patents, because the kernel and picture design are slightly different, but the game is not a kind of 'mode', so confidentiality is still very important for game development. ”

Ma Xiaoyang nodded after listening.

After Yi Mingyue arranged for Ma Xiaoyang to sit down, she went out. When he came back, he brought five people in. Mr. Ma, this is a core member of our other world, and he is now engaged in game engine development. ”

Several people greeted Ma Xiaoyang, and Ma Xiaoyang also greeted them one by one.

Yi Mingyue saw that everyone's greetings were over, so she asked directly: "Mr. Ma, what game are you going to do this time?"

Ma Xiaoyang said: "It is also a kind of battle online game, you all know Throne Fight and Interstellar War, both games are battle strategy online games. Among them, Throne Quest focuses on the cooperation of heroes.

Now Throne Quest has opened up map creation, and there are many privately made maps in it, all of which have strengthened the concept of heroes. The game I want to make is a competitive game of pure hero battles. ”

A man from another world said, "Similar to Hero Wars?"

Ma Xiaoyang nodded, and then said: "You should all be game masters, maybe you haven't found a problem, that is, compared to people like us who are not very good at games, the requirements of all competitive classes are too high now.

In other words, the operations of these competitive games on the market are too complicated, so complicated that we are in a hurry, and the game experience is poor.

Playing games is all about relaxation and fun, but it's hard for us to experience the joy of esports.

So I thought, can I make a game that is easy and enjoyable for most people, and that's why I'm here today. ”

Yi Mingyue asked, "Then I don't know if Mr. Ma has a detailed plan?"

Ma Xiaoyang nodded and said, "I already have some ideas, but I just don't know if it's feasible or not, after all, I don't know much about game production." ”

As he spoke, Ma Xiaoyang took out a drawing paper clip and took out the manuscript he had drawn inside. Ma Xiaoyang's sketch includes a brawl map of one battle line, a regular map of three routes, and sketches of the hero's operation interface.

There are also several heroes and attack renderings made from the heroes in the current game, as well as the renderings of skills, and even with a detailed explanation of skills, key configuration, etc.

Ma Xiaoyang said: "You see, the picture and key positions are adjusted to this extent, which greatly simplifies the operation, and some people with operation difficulties can also be very easy to use."

And this style of painting is different from the dark style of Throne Fight and the chaotic style of interstellar wars, the contrast is strong, the picture is clear, and the skill release can be better recognized, and it must be quite comfortable to play. ”

A team member from another world said, "Isn't this just a simplified battle of heroes?"

Ma Xiaoyang said: "It can be said that I have equipped him with a backstory world, improved its simple main line, made its existence more reasonable, and coupled with the honor system for promotion, it has a more fair distribution of players, so that everyone can match the right opponent."

You see, this is the overall game planning plan and the special gameplay plan. ”

Yi Mingyue and her team members picked up Ma Xiaoyang's plan and renderings and looked at them for a long time, and one of them said: "It's a little monotonous, but there is still competitiveness, if the picture is better, such a game will definitely be able to retain some players who love competitive confrontation."

However, Mr. Ma, is there a bit of a ...... in the charging model in your plan? I think it may be more profitable to change to a fee per session or by the hour. ”

Yi Mingyue also nodded and said: "Indeed, this kind of charging method is equivalent to free, as long as the player does not buy this costume effect, then we have no other charging means." ”

Ma Xiaoyang smiled and said, "Wouldn't that be better? Actually, what I want to do is to play it for free." ”

People in the other world were all stunned, free games, wouldn't it be a loss of money, not to mention, and continue to lose money? After all, even if you buy a server yourself, the server also needs to be maintained.

Ma Xiaoyang saw that everyone was puzzled and said: "Free games do not mean that they do not make money, and everyone must distinguish this clearly." Tuan Tuan chat is also free to use, and Tuan Tuan's search engine, Tuan Tuan blog and other software are all free, can you say that Tuan Tuan Network Company is not profitable?

In the same way, it is free for the average user because the purpose is to attract as many players as possible, and when the number of players reaches a certain level, or the game is accepted by the official event, then the economic benefits of the game will appear.

Whether it's advertising rights or commercial events, you can participate in it as a game creator and owner, and the profits and influence in this regard, as well as the ability to promote the game creation company, these invisible benefits for the mass players are far higher than the benefits that can be received from the players.

Our purpose is to make money from rich people, to make money from big companies, not to focus on the bitter players, how much money can be made from them.

I'm not bragging, the most popular time-paid online games on the market right now, if I were allowed to operate, I would definitely operate them for free, and I would be able to earn more than they are now.

This is the difference in business philosophy, not free means loss, in business, free things to the end, you will find that they are the most expensive things, such as Tuan Tuan series of software, because users have been inseparable from them, users have become their captive sheep. ”

Ma Xiaoyang looked at these people with uncertain faces, and said with a smile: "If you don't understand, then let's do it, I'll draft a commissioned R&D agreement for you, and you will take orders to make games, and it doesn't matter to you whether this game is profitable or bad in the future."

But don't worry, my commission will definitely make you a lot of money, and when the game is launched, I will also mark the production company as your other world, and you can also gain fame and fortune at that time. ”
