Chapter 52 100-person development team

"Dayong, if a game company wants to occupy a place in the hearts of players, a blockbuster, a triple-A masterpiece is indispensable, for the sake of our company's brand and image in the minds of players, I decided to play the game Assassin's Creed, which is different from any game we have developed in the past. We need to put enough energy into trying to do our best," Du Ziteng said to Li Yong

"Okay, fat man, I know, I'll reorganize the company and select about 50 highly skilled and experienced elite development team members to develop this game." Li Yong said

"No, 50 people can't do the effect I want, at least 100 people need to do it." Du Ziteng said solemnly.

"At least 100 people? So much? Could it be too much? Li Yong asked in surprise

You must know that at this time, even if it is a large European and American game company such as EA and Ubisoft, the number of people developing a masterpiece will not exceed 30. Like Blizzard's World of Warcraft development team, there are only 50 people. Li Yong said that forming 50 people is actually a very bold attempt.

"First of all, this is the first time our company has tried to develop a triple-A game, we have no experience in this area at all, and triple-A games are very demanding in all aspects of the game, in order to ensure that the game can achieve the effect I want, we must invest in manpower. I want to develop this game in six months to a year, so 100 people may not be able to meet my requirements. Du Ziteng gave an explanation for Li Yong's doubts.

"Okay, I see, I'll organize enough people to develop Assassin's Creed as soon as possible." Li Yong responded.

This is Du Ziteng's first 3A masterpiece to be made when he is reborn, which is a game that has not been made in the whole of China until 2016. Du Ziteng is very disgusted with the situation in the domestic game industry.

There are still many classic games in later generations. There is no Chinese Simplified Chinese version, and many only have Chinese Traditional Chinese versions. If you want to play a fun game, you have to look back at traditional Chinese characters and understand English, which is really a pain in the egg.

So many players in later generations are downloading the cracked Chinese version on the forum.,But the Chinese version on the forum has a lot of bugs.,It's easy to cause the game to crash inexplicably.。 In addition, there are a lot of advertisements for the version downloaded on the forum, and some even have viruses.

Are these foreign manufacturers so rampant? Is it not looking down on the mainland market? Of course not, the mainland has a population of more than 13, and the number of users is tens of millions, how can such a large market not care. It's because there are no game companies in China that can develop masterpieces, and no one comes to seize the market with them. As long as the traditional version is developed, someone will buy it, so why bother developing the Chinese Simplified version.

Du Ziteng wants to change this status quo and leave a mark on the history of the game. Then a series of triple-A games is essential.

Assassin's Creed is a form of free running on walls, climbing at will, and not requiring much aim. In previous games, most jumps required precise aiming. Assassin's Creed's jumping and climbing action is very appealing to a fat man who likes freedom and is not very flexible. So before he came back from rebirth, Du Ziteng always liked this game very much.

And the feeling of constantly lurking, and then seemingly inadvertently walking behind the target, and finally stabbing someone to death from behind while people are not paying attention, is also very cool. And the excitement of the story of Assassin's Creed also meets the standards of a masterpiece, with plot twists and turns, and it is intriguing.

This time he decided to make a Chinese version of Assassin's Creed, and Du Ziteng planned to do his best. At least it can't be worse than the Assassin's Creed of later generations. He asked a well-known screenwriter in China to enrich the plot of the story according to the outline he provided.

The game is set in China, so the maps and buildings must also be in the Chinese style, and Du plans to ask the company to go to the university and hire a few professors who have studied history and architecture to guide them.

Only Du Ziteng, who steals, offers rewards, captures and explores the ruins cemetery, also plans to add them all. But it's necessary to be fully sinicized.。

During this time, the scale of the company has been constantly expanding, and employees have been recruiting, and now the company has more than 500 elites from all over the country. The company has also set up several new development groups, and the employees of the company have come up with interesting games on their own.

After explaining Li Yong, Du Ziteng came to the president's office again.

"Sisi, what are you doing?" Du Ziteng asked funny

"Information on recently recruited employees," Li Sisi replied seriously.

"Look, are they as good-looking as your boss?" Du Ziteng laughed again.

"No, they're definitely not as good-looking as you! It's true! I don't lie to you! Li Sisi's face was sincere, but the feeling for Du Ziteng was really ridiculous.

"Okay, I won't tease you, it's too fun," Du Ziteng said helplessly.

"Recently, the company is going to develop a masterpiece "Assassin's Creed", which is the highlight of the company's first quarter and even the first half of the year, Dayong has already ordered it, and now I will tell you that I want you to tilt towards him in human resources when necessary." Du Ziteng said.

"Got it, boss, do you want anything else?" Li Sisi asked

"Our company's two games at the E3 Game Show have already started and are about to be produced," Du Ziteng asked.

"The PZ Flying Car has been fully developed, and the Flappy and Bird have already been developed," Li Sisi said.

"It's time to officially start the promotion of the game, and all major media will have to advertise. Some CGs of the game can also be released one after another," Du Ziteng said.

"Okay, so when will the game be released?"

"It's best to notify Larry in North America within three weeks of the news on the official website. Tell him that the game will be released globally. Let him establish our own sales channels in Europe and the United States as soon as possible, and we can't just rely on the pz game platform. Du Ziteng said.

Du Ziteng knew that although the games on the steam platform in later generations were selling very well, they only accounted for 30% of the entire game sales. And the platform release game is generally the first point than the CD. The resume channel itself can not only sell more games, but also be very useful for future game peripheral sales. It is not possible for all products to be sold online.

If you want to sell more, you must have a comprehensive sales channel and method.

"Okay, boss, I'll let Larry know as soon as possible," Li Sisi replied.
