There are more and more PC games these days, and there are more and more games that stand out from the crowd!

The net is difficult!

Sheng Xiao!

Kyushu!

Tiancheng and so on!

These game companies that appeared after Lotus Games have become the leaders of PC games, and of course, when it comes to the overlord of the Central Plains, it is naturally Lotus Games.

"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", "CS", in addition to these two main games, Lotus also has many games.

But when it comes to making money, it's basically these two games that start with it.

It's just that PUBG and CS have been around for too long, and although the two games are a bit complementary, the number of users is really declining.

It's also inevitable that no game can survive forever.

To put it bluntly, if Lotus Games wants to be the overlord of the Central Plains, it must find a replacement that can replace these two games.

Since the year before, there have been many game companies that have appeared in the flash of the pan, and their sales have surpassed PUBG and CS, although they have all fallen silent since then, but with the first time, there will naturally be a second time, and this sense of crisis is very comfortable.

And last year, Lotus also produced a game of "Ice Skating", which focuses on iceberg adventures, the most important of which is ski competition, which appeared on the major lists within a month, but unfortunately the adhesion is too low.

Just as White Lotus has not been to Lotus Film and Television for several years, Chen Ange has not been to Lotus Games for several years.

The foundation of this game empire is CS and PUBG, even until now, these two games still account for a large proportion of the profit ratio, of course, now there will not be two games to be destroyed, the company will not be able to operate, just if you want to maintain this leader, you must make new products.

"Although the profits of the two games grew slowly in the first two years, at least there were, but since last year, the financial reports have begun to decline!"

White Lotus has actually had a headache recently, and the Lotus Game is her reliance, and she must not fall.

Of course, it is a bit alarmist to say that it has fallen now, after all, even if it is surpassed by others, it just can't be the overlord of the Central Plains.

But......

She has changed from the leader at the beginning to chasing others, and this psychological gap makes the always arrogant White Lotus unacceptable.

Today, these two games account for about 40 percent of Lotus Games' reports, which is a high number.

"This is inevitable, there is no game that can maintain a high growth trend all the time, how to grow in the past, how to decrease in the future!"

The network changes quickly, as if a building was being built, but the width of the building's aisles needs to change every two or three years.

Do you say you're building a new building, or are you making changes to the original?

Chen Ange's positioning of the Lotus Game is very clear, of course, it is only the initial Lotus Game.

So the games he made at the beginning were all consumables, and this kind of game was to please the players, in order to take out the money in the players' pockets.

PUBG 600 million players, what is this concept, but when these 600 million players buy everything they should buy, how is it good.

Something new?

Everyone may already have immunity to this kind of thing, so no matter how much article is done in this game, it can't stop the downward trend.

After all, this kind of shooting game is not a role-playing game, and new copies can be released to enhance the freshness.

As for changing the gameplay or adding new gameplay, once you stumble, let alone redeem the player, there will even be a phenomenon of driving away the player, after all, the player is the most nostalgic.

Even this nostalgic mentality has become pathological, such as such a good optimization now, and I still miss the version that was full of bugs.

I haven't been to Lotus for several years, and now Lotus is not just an office building, but a whole office community.

This was specially built for the development of the Lotus game.

Gaming, Esports, Social!

This is an important part of the composition of the Lotus game, today's e-sports, the Lotus game has taken the lead, such as the network and other companies in addition to competitive games, but the entire domestic e-sports market has been brought up by the lotus, or even all occupied, so if they have any competitions, they can only be held by the e-sports tribe through the lotus.

In terms of socialization, Lotus Games has completely included penguins under its command.

This whole ecosystem was successful four years ago.

Chen Ange didn't know many people in the game, and after a few years of development, he didn't know anyone anymore.

When they entered the door, all the employees smiled and nodded to greet the white lotus, and of course, they inevitably looked at Chen Ange curiously.

The R&D department is the center of the entire Lotus Games, which brings together talents from all over the world and supports the other 60% of the assets of the Lotus Games department.

When White Lotus brought Chen Ange over, she happened to see a group of people discussing impassionedly.

Chen Ange glanced at the person sitting in the crowd, a little familiar.

It took him a moment to recognize it.

Zhang Yang!

People who have been in Lotus Games since "Counter-Strike", but I didn't expect him to be still in the R&D team.

Now Zhang Yang is the manager of the R&D department, and that person is called Song Jie, who is the producer of "Black Wind". And that one is named Yang Yang, who is the producer of "Ice Skating"!"

Several well-known producers are together, apparently to make a big deal.

Of course, they are indeed preparing to do something big, and they are ready to make a game together to see if they can replace PUBG and Counter-Strike.

It's just that these two games are gunfights, and they have been thinking about it for a long time, and they can't think of any other gunplay game that can be better than these two games, after all, many modes have been embedded in Counter-Strike, such as killing zombies and so on.

So they turn to other types of games.

Nowadays, the whole PC game circle has unfolded, unlike at the beginning, everyone followed Lotus Games to make gunfight games.

Lotus has two gunfights in charge, so they have to stretch out.

But where does this extend outwards is the hot topic of discussion now.

One leader is better, but now, the leaders of several groups who have achieved results are sitting together, basically expressing their opinions, and there is a situation where no one is convinced.

"I think it's better to role-play!"

"I think our lotus has already supported the competition, so let's continue to take the competitive route!"

"The shootout has been done to the extreme, and it feels useless to continue to compete!"

"Why do you have to think about gunfights when you talk about competition? Wasn't the previous "Ice Skating" also a competition?"

"It's okay to do competition, but the most important thing is that this competition must be sustainable, if it's something that people get tired of playing in a month, it's not good!"

One by one, they were expressing their opinions, Chen Ange and White Lotus were sitting outside, and they just saw the situation inside through the glass, although they couldn't hear what was being said inside, but they looked so intense, and they knew what was going on inside.

Chen Ange sat outside, then turned his head to look at the White Lotus: "Go in and have a look?"

White Lotus nodded, and then went to the door and knocked.

Zhang Xiaolong happened to be sitting at the door, when he heard someone knocking on the door, he immediately opened it, and when he came in to take a look, he was stunned.

Several people who were discussing fiercely were also stunned, they didn't expect the White Lotus to come suddenly, but when they saw the person behind the White Lotus, they were also puzzled, and they didn't know what it meant.

However, when Zhang Yang saw Chen Ange, his face was happy.

He knew who PUBG and Counter-Strike came from, but he hadn't been here for several years, so he didn't expect to see it this time.

Just as he got up and went over to say hello, White Lotus glanced at him and said, "You go on, don't worry about us!"

Saying that, he walked to a corner with Chen Ange, pulled a stool, and sat together.

The others looked at each other, now the size of the Lotus game is very large, there are six in the game group alone, but these six are all led by Zhang Yang, and White Lotus is basically not very involved in research and development, after all, she is originally a person in this area.

Therefore, even these R&D personnel are not often able to see White Lotus, but now they sit directly in the discussion room, which makes many people feel a little strange. As for Chen Ange, no one knows anyone except Zhang Yang.

"Okay, don't talk about the direction, just say what you think!"

Zhang Yang stood up to finish the story, why did he have to discuss what to do? It would naturally be much better to talk about the ideas that came to mind and then discuss them.

Moreover, White Lotus came with Chen Ange this time, according to his thoughts, there must be something meaningful.

Zhang Yang came forward, and soon the leaders of several groups began to express their thoughts.

And because the White Lotus is here, everyone is more careful.

Chen Ange listened to many terms he had never heard before, and his face was numb.

"How?"

The White Lotus pressed against Chen Ange's ear and asked in a low voice.

"Very professional!"

Chen Ange said with certainty that he didn't understand this aspect of the matter originally, but in order to lay the foundation of the game empire for the White Lotus, he made up for this aspect of the thing, but the things he made up for were only the foundation for the game itself.

To put it bluntly, now let Chen Ange develop a small game, he may be able to do it, but once the scale of this game is a little larger, Chen Ange will be helpless, after all, he has made Jedi and Anti-Terrorism before, which are all source code, and the subsequent optimization patch packages are ready-made.

However, where is Chen Ange's advantage, in his understanding of the game.

What games can retain users, he knows better than this group of developers.

This group of people is thinking about how to make a game with a high degree of operation and fun, but Chen Ange has always wanted to make a game that retains users.

There is an essential difference between the two.

Because high-control and fun games don't necessarily retain users.

For example, the real three back then!

A game that wants to make money, the comparison is the number of users, you have screened a large number of users at the beginning with high operation and high difficulty, and you still want to make a game at the national level, are you dreaming?

To put it bluntly, you can only do high-end market when making goods, but if you want to make money in games that only do high-end market, that is a brain disease!

For example, bridge and fighting landlords.

Specialized?

White Lotus pouted, she didn't want a profession, but an online active person.

Of course, in his position, seek his position.

White Lotus is the old Dong of Lotus Games, she doesn't care if the game is fun or not, what she cares about is whether this game can make money.

After all, her company is not a small studio, and there are so many people waiting to eat.

Of course, the only people who want to do competitive games are those who propose high operations, and some people also think that they can do role-playing, after all, role-playing casual games have also risen in the past two years, and role-playing games are the number one in the helmet games.

Although the two game modes are different, the essence of the game is not different after all.

Since helmet gamers love role-playing, what about PC players?

The network difficulty directly took the copyright of "Datang" from Bandai and produced the PC version of "Datang", this role-playing game received a fanatical pursuit as soon as it came out, and it was also the foundation work of the network difficulty to become the four major PC game companies.

It has also made many helmet game companies see the power of PC role-playing games.

Seeing that the discussion was protracted, Chen Ange glanced at Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang had actually been watching Chen Ange from time to time, so when Chen Ange looked at Zhang Yang, he noticed it immediately.

Seeing that Chen Ange nodded with a smile, and then made a gesture, Zhang Yang understood, got up and stopped the people who were discussing, and then greeted Chen Ange: "Mr. Chen!"

Chen Ange got up, walked to the small whiteboard, and then picked up a pen and wrote a few words on it.

Fantasy Journey to the West

The white lotus in the corner was stunned when she saw this name.

Is this guy on the bar with "Journey to the West"?

Others, on the other hand, were confused.

What's going on?

"Song Jie, Yang Yang, you two advocate role-playing games, so do you two have your own understanding of this kind of game?"

Song Jie and Yang Yang were stunned, but they also replied casually: "The role-playing games in the helmet game rely on buyouts to make money, while the role-playing of PCs to make money is a problem My own idea is to make free games directly, of course, making games is to make money, we don't charge money, but we do advertising, as long as we cleverly implant ads in the game, I believe it will not cause players to be disgusted, such as making a game with a modern background, then those hotels, communities, etc., can't you use the name of a business in real life?"

Song Jie said a lot, but there weren't many changes about the game itself.

However, Chen Ange thinks that Song Jie is a talent, the charging history of PC games is very long, and the charging models are varied, but in the end, the only ones that remain are point cards, advertisements and other methods.

And free-to-play games are indeed the most attractive way for players to come along.

But......

This is just an external influence, and Chen Ange is not asking about the cost of the game.

He glanced at a few people and began to write something on the whiteboard.

And this is the very thing that makes the eyes of some people in the discussion room straighten.
