"It is inevitable to be sought after, and it is also possible to be pushed to the altar. It's just that a studio is not just pursuing and pushing to the altar. Wang Yang sighed in his heart.

In fact, he is also a person with a dream, and he also wants to make a domestic stand-alone machine that is sought after by players and pushed to the altar.

But reality has smoothed out his dreams.

As a veteran practitioner in the game industry, he deeply knows that any gamer who has the desire to survive is not unable to consider the former in the choice between dream and reality, but must give priority to the latter.

Because only the latter can allow him to survive, and only by surviving can he consider other capitals!

So even if the game is popular, what can it do if it is pushed to the altar?

If the problem of domestic piracy cannot be solved one day, the domestic stand-alone machine will never come out!

History has long proven what kind of choices seemingly loyal gamers will make when faced with high prices for genuine games and cheap pirated games everywhere.

In 03, Xiansan was sold, and its excellent production and excellent gameplay were well received by the industry and were regarded as masterpieces by players.

But in the end, only 500,000 units were sold, which was enough for the producer to recover the cost.

According to the statistics of relevant departments, the pirated sales of Xiansan are at least more than five million sets!

Wang Yang knows that the technology of the head office is very good, coupled with their planning, they dare not say that they have produced the world's top 3A masterpieces, but it is still possible to produce a domestic stand-alone game that has reached the international ordinary level.

But what about that?

The day after the game is uploaded, the cracked version will be spread all over the Internet.

Their painstaking work can only become a carnival for pirates.

And the studio he works in, which seems to be very promising, is likely to collapse because of this.

Wang Yang really likes Daoyi Game Studio, because it is one of the few studios in the industry that attaches great importance to planning.

And this studio has a strong head office behind it, and it has just produced a hit game like "Tianzun".

This is a promising studio that has the potential to even develop into a hegemon in the gaming industry in the future, and even become the spokesperson of domestic games.

He really didn't want this studio to lose its future because of Jiang Bai's hot-headedness.

So he tried hard to persuade: "I know that Mr. Jiang, as a game person, has feelings for domestic stand-alone, in fact, all domestic gamers have deep feelings for domestic stand-alone, after all, it was the most glorious years of domestic games."

But feelings are feelings, business is business, and running a studio still needs to look at problems from a more rational point of view. The dilemma of domestic stand-alone games is real, and this is not transferred by our subjective will.

So I think it doesn't matter if Mr. Jiang just wants to develop a single-player game for his own amusement. However, if it is a masterpiece that requires a lot of manpower, financial and material resources, it needs to be carefully considered. ”

Jiang Bai's eyes flashed, he could hear the sincerity in Wang Yang's words, but he was not ready to change his will.

Because of Wang Yang's worries, it has never been a problem for him.

The system can even solve the problem of piracy of online novels, let alone the piracy of stand-alone games?

And the domestic stand-alone games that have solved piracy have an extremely huge market!

In the future, "The Legend of Chivalry", which invested 3 million to produce, sold 700,000 sets just by feelings.

The total sales of the first two generations of "Ancient Sword and Strange Tales" also exceeded 1.5 million sets.

The quality of these games, not to mention reaching the international level, is not even up to the benchmark of international production.

At most, it is a boutique in the domestic stand-alone machine.

And the domestic stand-alone machine, after 02 years, is in a state of stagnation......

However, the interests are only one aspect of Jiangbai's choice of domestic stand-alone.

What he values more than benefits is that stand-alone games have a greater influence in the world than online games.

Foreign players have not experienced domestic bans, and their acceptance of stand-alone games is much higher than that of online games.

At the same time, stand-alone games can also carry richer values and cultural connotations than online games.

After all, in a single-player game, except for the player himself, the rest is a world built by the maker, which can easily create the cultural atmosphere that the maker wants.

In online games, players care more about their interactions with each other, and most people don't care much about the concept conveyed by the game itself.

Therefore, in the future, if you want to establish an entertainment empire with Chinese culture as the core and export culture to the West, you must have a strong domestic stand-alone industry as a support!

Jiang Bai said seriously: "I understand what you mean, the factor in the decline of domestic stand-alone machines has never been the market, but the rampant piracy! But I have been prepared for this, and you should also believe in the technical strength of the head office, we can solve the problem of piracy." ”

"Damn, even the top productions of those big European and American manufacturers can't solve the piracy problem, why do you want me to believe that the head office can solve it?"

Wang Yang complained in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

It's not that I'm convinced, it's just that everything that should be said has already been said, but Jiang Bai is bent on going his own way, what can he do?

In the final analysis, Jiang Bai is the boss and he is an employee.

Years of experience in the workplace have taught him that as an employee, it is best not to have a serious conflict with the boss, otherwise the result may not be what the employee wants to see.

"Fortunately, the situation of Daoyi Game Studio can also afford to lose Mr. Jiang's second home. And I'm in control of this project, and I won't let it develop to the point where it can't be finished!"

Wang Yang comforted himself in his heart, and then said very heartily: "Since Mr. Jiang is so confident, of course I have no opinion, after all, the technology of the head office has been fully reflected in "Tianzun". So what kind of stand-alone game is Mr. Jiang going to develop?"

"I'm going to develop a first-person shooter game, with the background of the War of Resistance Against Japan!" Jiang Bai said in a deep voice.

First-person shooter games, or FPS for short, are a type of shooter game that is played from the player's subjective perspective.

This is the dominant game genre that accounts for a large share of the gaming market.

Whether it was "Counter-Strike", which was a big hit back then, or "CrossFire", which has the highest number of simultaneous online players exceeding 3 million in the online game market today, it represents the popularity of this type of game.

And in the international market, first-person shooter games are also enduring for a long time.

The "Call of Duty" series, the "Battlefield" series, the "Armed Raid" series, and the "Medal of Honor" series are all super game IP series that can easily sell millions of copies as soon as they are listed.

And this kind of work also has one of the biggest characteristics, the requirements for the plot are not particularly high, as long as the special effects are done well and the battle scenes are hot, nothing else is a problem!
