These two games are in line with Hong Tao's own preferences in terms of plot, graphics, operability and story background. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info note that it is Hong Tao's own preference, not someone else's. Since he wants to make a game, it must be what he likes, and whether others like it or not is not the first element.

In other words, he didn't intend to make a blockbuster game that caters to the taste of the market from the beginning, but to fulfill one of his own dreams. It would be perfect if you could make money while carrying your dreams with you, but you don't force it.

Of course, he won't tell anyone else about this kind of thought, and he won't talk about it to anyone, because after he does, he will be alone. Few people in the world would be crazy enough to spend hundreds of millions of dollars just to realize a dispensable dream, even Zhang Yuanyuan definitely can't understand it.

Since it's unlikely that they will understand, then tell them a hair, follow yourself, anyway, as long as you have a bite of food, you won't let them go hungry. The success of this game will not have much to do with their income, it is good to be a fool, and if you know too much, you will be the same as yourself, it will be annoying.

Is Hong Tao planning to do World of Warcraft and Star Wars Eve? Definitely not, it's too late for World of Warcraft to do it, and this game is estimated to be almost finished by Blizzard. Regardless of whether he is reborn or not, unless he can directly acquire Blizzard now, he really has nothing to do with World of Warcraft.

The situation is similar on the eve of Star Wars, which was released more than a year later than World of Warcraft, but the architecture is much larger, and even if you have an existing software company and start designing it right away, you can't rush it.

Hong Tao didn't want to copy the template of other people's success this time, he wanted to make his own game, a game that belongs to Chinese culture, the kind of game from the cover to the content, as long as you look at it, you can know that it is made in China. It's best to sell it to foreigners so that they can also play Chinese computer games. The ancients said that there was no indecency.

This is purely Hong Tao himself looking for trouble, as the saying goes, there is no difficulty, and it is necessary to create difficulties.

The status of domestic games in the world game industry is basically the same as that of domestic cars, and even if they are placed in China, they are still niche. The reason is very simple, that is, the research and development time is long and the speed of capital return is slow. No one is willing to invest heavily in this, and even if they do, they try to imitate, borrow, or even plagiarize, which is less risky and has quick results.

But computer games are a creative industry, and if you don't have originality, you will lose more than half of your profits, and you will never be able to eat the fattest and fragrant meat if you always follow other people's butts. As a result, the domestic game industry has fallen into a strange circle, the more eager it is to achieve success, the more it will not get rich profits, the more it will not get rich profits, the more it will not dare to increase the investment of funds and time, and the more it does not invest, the more it has to rely on imitation, reference, and plagiarism...... Never get out.

Now Hong Tao feels that he should try to stop this vicious circle, and he can't go on such a vicious circle, whether as a game lover or a traverser, he should stand up bravely in public and private.

Big investment, low return or no return at all is not a problem for me, you must have a place to spend money to have the motivation to make money, the bigger the hole, the more motivation. In a word, he is a cheap bone, and he is not happy to work if he does not take a small whip.

When the problem of money is solved, most of the problems are solved, and time is not worth bullshit to oneself, and if you can't finish it in this life, you will have the next life, and you will be bored anyway, so why not waste the most precious time of human beings? Do you dare to waste time playing if you have money? I dare! Ten years later, who will spend playing with me?

If you have money and time, equipment and everything is a trivial matter, as long as you have it in the world, you dare to sell it and I can buy it, this is not a military project, and it will not open up too much generational difference.

The most troublesome thing is actually talent. Chinese are not stupid or talentless, but the environment limits their play and stifles their creativity. This point cannot be completely eradicated, this is a social problem, and it cannot be cured by being reborn a hundred times.

However, I can change it slightly, and I can make a small environment if the big environment can't be played, and it is theoretically feasible to create a set of working environment and living conditions that are more suitable for creation, imagination and play for my employees.

Hong Tao believes that his compatriots have this ability, they are all small and strong, and if they give a little sunshine, they will shine, and they may be able to glow with amazing energy.

The little fat man Wang Li belongs to this kind of person, her mind is full of whimsical ideas, and she will not let the leaders like it if she puts it in any domestic company, because most of her ideas are not very reliable, and to put it bluntly, it is a blind thought. But she has a very valuable advantage, that is, persistence, indomitable persistence!

For these nonsense, she can quit her job, live in a basement, eat instant noodles, and go back to her hometown to farm without a job, but she will never compromise and never bow to reality.

It is not uncommon for people with brains, abilities and experience to be talented, Hong Tao has seen a lot, but Hong Tao has really not seen a few people with indomitable beliefs, so he feels that the little fat man is more worthy of investment than other talents.

Before her persistence is polished by the cruel reality, she must protect her and find a way to guide her thoughts closer to herself. Then don't worry about it, she will burst out with huge energy herself, and she can't stop it if she wants to. She is her sunshine, so she only has two choices, either brilliant or sunburned.

"Mr. Hong, your game mode is too complicated, and the difficulty is a bit high, will it affect the audience?" After listening to it for several days, and constantly communicating with Hong Tao, the little fat man finally roughly and vaguely understood what kind of game the new boss was going to do, and then she was dumbfounded.

I thought I was already very scoreless, but I didn't expect this boss to be even more scoreless than himself, and the game mode he said was unheard of.

The background of the game is ancient China, and the specific dynasty has not yet been decided, but the content of the game covers too much, from land to sea, from needles and threads to warship cannons, from peddlers and pawns to bandits and pirates, everything in reality must be as much as possible.

This is almost equivalent to the creation of an ancient society, not only the various elements must be complete, but also a complete set of economic systems that roughly fit the situation at that time.

After entering the game, all players are ancient people, who can farm, become merchants, learn various crafts and become craftsmen, and can also go to the mountains to suppress bandits, go to the sea to fish and sail. But there is one thing, Hong Tao requires that all things with relatively large benefits cannot be completed alone, and must work as a team, such as suppressing bandits, shipbuilding, etc., as close to reality as possible.

Fat is not a game architect, but she also likes to play games, and she plans to work in game production, so she still has a certain understanding of games. Hong Tao's set of ideas is too large and too picky about the audience. To put it bluntly, it's just too unrealistic.

This kind of game is almost like living a life, just learning a beginner craft takes several days, and if you want to improve, you have to use weeks and months to calculate the time, the pace is too slow, many players can't bear it at all.

And learning the craft is just the beginning of the game, whether you can use the craft to make a fortune and cross the world depends on teamwork. This in turn requires you to have a certain level of emotional intelligence and intelligence, know how to get along with people, time alone is useless, and money alone is useless.

This is a big problem, most of the domestic gamers emphasize individual feelings, spend time, spend money to make themselves invulnerable, killing all sides is fun, do not like this kind of relying on cooperation, the pace is too slow, can not reflect their own invincible tune.

In this kind of environment, not to mention whether Hong Tao's design concept can be realized, even if it took several years, countless money and manpower to make this game, in the end, not many people like to play, this is still a failure.

"Don't worry about this, you just have to enrich the background story of the game, don't use the dynasty in reality, you make up one yourself, but the culture in the game must be simulated, not that it can't be changed, but it must be well documented. ”

"You are not only responsible for the construction of the cultural background of China, but also the whole of East Asia, South Asia, and Central Asia. In the future, I will take you out for a tour and go to these countries for field trips, and there are some things that you can't understand just by reading books. Let me give you an idea first, you also have international students in your school, right? You can go and talk to them more and learn more about the culture of their country. The problem that the little fat man said Hong Tao has already considered, it is nothing more than the cost and sales problem, so she doesn't have to worry about this.

"There is also a foreign background culture?!" The little fat man listened to Hong Tao's explanation, not only did not feel at ease, but was more worried, it was not enough for her to think about it just now, not only China, but also other countries.

"Yes, I'm not building a China, I'm building a world! In the future, planners from all over the world will join the company to build this game with you. How is your English? If you are not good, take the time to learn it, and I will not give you a few more translators when the time comes. Seeing that the little fat man finally understood his whole set of ideas, Hong Tao was very relieved and added another job to her.

"I, I, I've met a madman!" Hong Tao left satisfied, and the little fat man Wang Li looked at the door stupidly, and it took a long time to come to his senses.

Well, I thought this game was already big, and I wasn't the planner of the whole game, but just a part of it. In addition to being surprised, the little fat man also saw hope, her dream can't be realized in normal people, she can only pin her on crazy people, the crazier the more reliable!
