Chapter 133 Global Game Development Forum Conference
Every night of conversation, Tan Qunzhao will prepare a notebook to record what Chen Chuliang said, and after returning to the hotel, he will carefully figure out what the boss said.
In front of Chen Chuliang, Tan Qunzhao was shocked by his leaping thinking and far-sighted ideas. Listening to the boss's conversation is like coming into contact with a new world, and the content he wrote down will also become the wealth of Tan Qunzhao's lifelong research.
At eight o'clock tonight, the meeting will be held as usual.
Chen Chuliang has been working with the group in Professor Cui's laboratory, and he knows all the problems encountered in the development process, and the reason why he calls Tan Qunzhao every night is to better arrange tomorrow's work and solve the problems encountered today by the way.
In today's era, no one is more prophetic than Chen Chuliang in the game industry, especially in the undeveloped blank period of domestic online games, and now Chen Chuliang is completely a cow with peerless martial arts. Even a small flash of inspiration in his head can make a game successfully attract users to become popular in China.
After Tan Qunzhao arrived, Chen Chuliang's next conversation was about the main line that has lasted for several years of operation of the entire "Legend" game, and it is also the selling point that the upgraded version of "Legend" developed by Professor Cui does not have.
This is the equivalent of the heart, which he defines as the element of the game that players are passionate about.
As long as you grasp this point, the Chinese game market can easily open a broad road.
The ecology of the Internet industry is to form a powerful closed loop, so that opponents cannot find the point of attack.
The same is true for the ecology of online games.
The reason why the game can fascinate players is nothing more than that the selling point is relatively novel, and at the same time, around the selling point, a variety of game props and copies are launched, so that the majority of players become crazy and demonic, and it is not far from the popularity of the game.
It's a very simple example, the more popular games in later generations "Crossfire", "World of Warcraft", "Miracle", etc., the selling point of each game is different, CrossFire is to emphasize the actual combat sense of police shooting, World of Warcraft is for the tribe, and the miracle is biased towards Western magic.
This is something that players can't get in touch with in life, and they can find spiritual food for sustenance on the Internet.
And "Legend" wants to create its own selling point, which is particularly important.
Chen Chuliang gave full play to his foresight and insights on online games, Tan Qunzhao sat on the stool next to him with notes, and there were only two of them during this period, Chen Chuliang said without hesitation: "Professor Cui's "Legend" already has what we need for the first version of the open beta with the existing map and content, but the distance is refined, and it is a little lacking to be able to make players join the fans more." ”
Looking at Tan Qunzhao, Chen Chuliang said all the thoughts in his heart, he didn't mind letting his advanced thinking be comprehended by Tan Qunzhao, Tan Qunzhao is now tied to the ship of Aiya Technology, I believe he will do his best to complete his dealing.
Chen Chuliang tried to speak as slowly as possible, let Tan Qun write it down, and go back to digest it all.
"The "Legend" game we have now, fighting monsters, upgrading, getting treasure, forging weapons, buying and selling, although it is very novel, but it is far from enough for players to indulge, because these things can only bring players the pleasure and coolness of the game, and cannot make players more crazy to substitute into the game and obtain the corresponding status level. ”
When he came up, he threw a big move to Tan Qunzhao. Speaking of the game "Legends", it does seem new enough now, but it is not enough. This is no less than telling Tan Qunzhao that missiles are powerful, but I have something more powerful than missiles, as for what this thing is, it is a secret weapon.
After all, Huaxia's current online game market has not yet started, and it doesn't even have reference value. Tan Qunzhao and the others first came into contact with Professor Cui's upgraded version of "Legend", and they were already attracted by the content of "Legend". However, now that the BOSS directly pointed out that this game still lacks selling points, he asked Tan Qunzhao to stop the pen in his hand and listen carefully to what Chen Chuliang said.
These days, the vision brought to him by the boss has been vividly reflected in the development of the game "Legend", every time in the laboratory, I see Professor Cui giving him a thumbs up and praising him for his unique vision, Tan Qunzhao has to accept this glory that does not belong to him, and I want to say in my heart, I am just a soldier responsible for passing the word.
Seeing that Tan Qunzhao didn't even take notes, Chen Chuliang said slowly: "What we want to do now is to develop the real selling point of the game "Legend" based on the content that "Legend" already has. Let players feel that playing our game is simulating their own life in the game. ”
In short, it's just a sentence that makes players feel refreshed. ”
The reality is already very hard, and being able to find cool points in the game is the killer feature to retain players.
The selling point of most games is like this, and the legendary game, although it is already very bluffing to fight monsters and upgrade to Debao, but there is still a cool point that can stimulate the competition of players at the same level or with a sense of difference in status.
Tan Qunzhao heard "simulating his own life" and marked this sentence as the emphasis. Including the free PK mentioned a few days ago, hiding the boss, breaking through the sky, etc., all of them were included in the notes that need to be digested.
Chen Chuliang directly magnified the move and said: "Now what we want to talk about is to add a prestige system similar to the social status of everyone in reality in the game "Legend". This is based on the fact that we can't get it in reality, and the sense of accomplishment that we want to get through the game must run through the main artery of the entire game. ”
"The reputation system is the selling point of our game. All game props must be developed based on it. ”
"Around the reputation system, you can also make copies of the content. For example, apprenticeship, such as virtual marriage between male and female players, cleaning PK red name effects, and even creating guilds, using prestige to equalize different social status, I believe that major players will dig out their hearts to gain game prestige in order to reflect their superhuman status in the game. ”
The prestige system is an element that is not available in the "Legend" developed by Professor Cui now, which makes Chen Chuliang feel that the "Legend" he has now is not perfect enough. And he proposed this reputation system, and gave an example of the impact of the reputation system on the player's mentality, which is almost equivalent to the appearance of ordinary people constantly striving for a better social status in real life.
Tan Qunzhao's hand that stayed on the notebook shook a few times.
He felt that if he proposed this prestige system to Professor Cui in the laboratory tomorrow. Integrating the prestige gained by players in the game into the game "Legend" will form an orderly hierarchical model like the real society.
Tan Qunzhao has no more words of praise to send a second praise to the boss.
These days, he has seen the powerful brain of the boss.
At this moment, I can only say sincerely: "Mr. Chen, you must often guide the work in the future." ”
Chen Chuliang smiled, Tan Qunzhao's ability is strong enough, he only needs to put forward the general direction, how to refine it into the game content Tan Qunzhao is an expert, after all, Tan Qunzhao used to stay in the research institute, and he had to do all kinds of fine things in software, and he had developed good habits.
What Chen Chuliang has to do is to really train Tan Qunzhao to be a chief technology officer who can carry the banner for Aiya Technology.
Time is pressing, Tan Qunzhao will go back to the hotel later, Chen Chuliang made a long story short, and listed three more things as things to be solved in the next development process:
"First, the pace of development should be accelerated. ”
"Second, the content of the game should be easy to use, and it is best to make it difficult for players to level up before level six, and Hell mode will ruin a large number of novice players. ”
"Thirdly, on the maps of the existing legends, at least three hidden maps have been developed to keep players looking forward to the new maps that will appear after the patch update. ”
Just a few simple sentences are enough for Tan Qun to dig out his mind and develop. According to the meaning of the BOSS, in the next three years, the regeneration space of this game is too big, and according to the BOSS, "Legend" is not a game, but a virtual game world, and the majority of players are addicted to it in this world.
After taking notes, Tan Qunzhao asked a question of his own: "BOSS, will the game "Legend" continue to use the name of South Korea in the mainland open beta?"
Chen Chuliang shook his head, he thought that after the grand agent in his previous life came to the legend, he changed it to "Legend of Blood" after returning to China, this name has too much influence on Huaxia online games, as a former game practitioner, he still has a certain feeling for "Legend of Blood", and he doesn't plan to change other names, so he said: "It's called "Legend of Blood" during the open beta in China." ”
After listening to it, Tan Qunzhao felt that the word "hot-blooded" was good, but it was suitable for this game.
"BOSS, it's okay, I'll go back and digest this knowledge. ”
Chen Chuliang said: "It's hard work. ”
Tan Qunzhao was flattered and said with a smile: "Those who work hard are tired, and those who work only do their work, I am a laborer." ”
……….
The next day, Tan Qunzhao went to Professor Cui's laboratory to discuss with Professor Cui about adding the prestige system to Legend, and explained the role of the prestige system in the game "Legend" and how to integrate it with existing game elements.
After returning last night, he thought about it all night, and even prepared the plan and handed it to Professor Cui.
After reading the plan, Professor Cui was amazed, and sure enough, it was the engineers of Huaxia who understood the hearts of Huaxia netizens better. When he was developing, he didn't come up with the idea of enriching the game with prestige.
Giving Tan Qunzhao a thumbs up, Professor Cui exclaimed: "Mr. Tan, you are really a super game engineer. ”
Professor Cui's praise, Tan Qunzhao can not afford it.
Looking up and seeing Chen Chuliang who was standing next to him watching the technicians develop the game, Tan Qunzhao smiled unnaturally, Professor Cui praised him as a great engineer, this should be said to Mr. Chen, now the halo has given him as a spokesperson, and he is embarrassed to be too thin-skinned.
When Tan Qunzhao was in the fugue, Professor Cui said while studying the plan he wrote: "Mr. Tan, next month, one of the four major exhibitions in the global game industry, the KAMEX Game Show will be held in Seoul, and there will be a game development forum, which will be attended by famous game development engineers from different countries around the world. ”
The four major exhibitions in the global game industry are grand events in the game industry, but Tan Qunzhao doesn't know whether this game exhibition is heavy or not, he only cares about the development progress of "Legend", and he is not in the mood to communicate with game engineers from other countries.
Whether to go or not is not Tan Qunzhao's final say, he looked at Chen Chuliang in the distance, what Professor Cui said, the boss must have heard it, so he gave a hint.
Chen Chuliang quietly gave Tan Qunzhao a look, one of the world's game industry exhibitions, the KAMEX game exhibition, but the game industry is a grand event, and countless world-famous games will appear in these exhibitions in the future, and the game development forum conference, but the world's outstanding game engineers gather at the event, some world-famous game celebrities will attend the forum, ordinary small companies, if there is no introducer, it is not easy to get a ticket to enter.
"Go. ”
Chen Chuliang hinted at Tan Qunzhao. What can you not go to such a grand event, although "Legend" is very popular, but in the future, there will be "World of Warcraft" that is popular all over the world, the pinnacle of shooting games "Crossfire", etc., many games that can make players pay for them without hesitation, this is a grand exchange meeting in the game industry, Aiya Technology will definitely contact this kind of game exhibition in the future, and it is not a good thing to show your face in advance.
Tan Qunzhao, who was authorized by the boss instead of the chairman, immediately agreed: "Then it will be troublesome for Professor Cui to lead the way, we want to know more excellent engineers, and we may be able to carry out in-depth cooperation if we have the opportunity in the future." ”
