The so-called Warring States period means that major game companies have a certain amount of accumulation, and they can develop new games again in the process of slow accumulation, compete for other people's markets, or redevelop the market. Just like the Warring States period in ancient times, the vassal states already had a certain strength, and in order to satisfy their hegemony, or to seek a resting place, they began to struggle.

In such an environment, a basic game company that previously relied on one or two games to have a certain economy. Well, for them now, the situation has changed slightly. It's not about struggling at the beginning, it's about ambition in exchange. Even if the game is launched now, even if it fails, it can still rely on the last game to survive. If you can build on the original foundation. Perhaps these small game companies can take advantage of this opportunity to become a large online game company.

This period is also the most testing time for game manufacturers.

You only have to do your game well enough, or maybe the way you advertise it is better than others. Then, you will be able to stand firm in this era of great expansion. If not, after this war. A mini-game company may still be a mini-game company, and it may even become smaller. And some game companies with strength and economic foundation can become the leaders of the online game industry in the future in this expansion war.

This kind of reasoning, whether it is a small game company or a relatively strong online game company, they all understand it, and they are also constantly working hard during this time period. Even the Xishanju Game Studio couldn't bear the loneliness at this time. adapted his classic stand-alone game, Swordsman Romance into Swordsman Romance OL.

For this game, Kingsoft has high hopes.

The original Kingsoft Company was originally a pure software company, which started with WPS and successively launched a series of Kingsoft products. Such as Jinshan word tyrant, Jinshan typing, Jinshan poison tyrant...... It's just that WPS was forced back by Microsoft's Office. Kingsoft Company turned his direction to a comprehensive software service company centered on Kingsoft Poison and online games.

The love of swordsmen is the product of Kingsoft's blockbuster attack.

With so many online games launched, excellent works will surely be reflected at this moment.

I don't know how to deal with these games on the market?

Seeing the emergence of a series of games, Chen Jiayi was really afraid that the Tang Dynasty network would not be able to cope with it. After all, Chen Jiayi has already withdrawn "Dudu Online" from the Tang Dynasty network, which is equivalent to abolishing a pair of wings of the Tang Dynasty network. Moreover, although the Tang Dynasty network has achieved the hegemony of online games. But he can't be compared with the TT of the Tang Dynasty's information, because TT is a monopoly and nothing else.

Although the Tang Dynasty network made others look up to the mountains, it was only a leader. As the old saying goes: the big brother who takes the lead also has a time to hang. Now Xin/Lang, NetEase, is determined to get a piece of the pie in this online game market. For the Tang Dynasty network, Chen Jiayi is really worried.

After thinking about it, Chen Jiayi walked out of the house and came to the Tang Dynasty network, he wanted to see how Gu Xiaoyu would deal with it. However, Chen Jiayi did not find Gu Xiaoyu directly. Instead, he came to the world game studio of the Tang Dynasty Network, and this studio is developing the famous Fantasy Journey to the West.

"I'm sorry, but this is the game development department of Tang Dynasty Network. No one is allowed to enter or leave without the consent of the team leader. ”

Just as Chen Jiayi was about to enter the game development department, one of the staff members stopped Chen Jiayi.

"Interesting."

It looked as if the staff member had just graduated from college.

"Don't you recognize me?"

"The ethereal journey and Zhuxian written by Mr. Chen have become popular all over the country, so of course I recognize them. Maybe I'll ask you for an autograph? ”

Dare to love this staff member who regarded me as an online writer Chen Jiayi.

That's right, his identity as the CEO of Tang Dynasty Company has not been announced, only some old employees of the company know, and this person who seems to have just joined the work naturally doesn't know who he is.

"Okay, then can you please help me convey it to Manager Liang and let Manager Liang approve me to go in."

"Okay, wait a minute. But I can't guarantee that Manager Liang will have time. If I don't have time, it's hard for me to inform you. ”

"Well, there you go. If I don't have time, I won't go in. ”

Chen Jiayi still has a good impression of this staff member, and from this detail, it also proves that Tang Dynasty Network is operating well, whether it is this staff member or some other staff members. When Chen Jiayi arrived, they did not stand up to greet them. Just glanced at Chen Jiayi, and continued to be busy with the work at hand. Some of the more serious employees haven't even noticed Chen Jiayi's arrival.

Nervous and orderly, it seems that Gu Xiaoyu manages it very well.

"Mr. Chen, why are you here?"

Just when Chen Jiayi was commenting on the Tang Dynasty network, Liang Yuchong, the person in charge of Fantasy Journey to the West, came.

"Come and see, let's go, I want to see where the Fantasy Journey to the West has been developed?"

After that, Chen Jiayi and Liang Yuchong entered the game development department together. And the young man who stopped Chen Jiayi just now suddenly widened his eyes, and he couldn't believe it, "Mr. Chen? ”

"Who is Chan always?"

So he whispered to his colleague next to him.

"Alas, I don't know about this, it seems that you don't want to mess around."

The colleague on the side sighed, and then said, "The company's **oss." ”

"Ahh

"Ah, what, you died, and you dared to stop Mr. Chen just now. Looks like you're going to have to pack up and head home in a moment. ”

"Brother, don't scare me, I did what the company asked."

At this time, another colleague couldn't laugh and whispered, "Okay, don't scare him." Then he said to the young man, "Don't worry, you won't be fine, maybe you will be praised." ”

These old employees know that Chen Jiayi dislikes those who have nothing to do and are diligent, and he doesn't like to be sloppy, but he is very interested in honest employees. This guy is so dedicated, he is most liked by Chen Jiayi.

"Praise is enough, it's just my job."

…… After Liang Yuchong came out, Chen Jiayi and Liang Yuchong entered the game development department of Fantasy Westward Journey.

"Now the Fantasy Journey to the West has basically been completed, so to speak. Now the company is inviting more than a dozen high-level players, as well as the R&D members of the World Studio, and is conducting closed testing. ”

"So fast?"

It seems like less than a year.

"It's not fast, actually."

Liang Yuchong smiled, and then explained to Chen Jiayi, "Because Fantasy Journey to the West and Journey to the West are common, many of the settings in Journey to the West can basically be built and moved into Fantasy Journey to the West." For example, the fighting methods, game skills, imperial examinations, and running merchants can be directly copied in the past, and the more time-consuming is the balance between the game map and the school, as well as some other ways to play. Like seventy-two changes, formations and the like. ”

"It's no wonder."

Basically, what Fantasy Journey to the West has to do is to change the skin of Journey to the West, and then innovate on the basis of Journey to the West. The most classic gameplay of Fantasy Journey to the West is the mutual restraint between the twelve sects. In this way, there are differences in the addition points between the various sects. It makes the players of the entire Fantasy Journey to the West diverse. Like what kind of blood cow-type Dragon Palace, endurance-type Datang.

After that, with the addition of formations, seventy-two changes and other functions, it has become a new fantasy journey to the west. Of course, the reason for being able to do so quickly. In fact, there is also the fantasy Journey to the West plan that Chen Jiayi took out, and many times they only need to look at the planning content, and they can develop it quickly. There is no need to solve anything and thus grow the R&D cycle.

Hearing Liang Yuchong's explanation, Chen Jia nodded, knowing the reason why it was so fast.

In fact, the speed at which the game was developed in the perfect time and space of the later generations was amazing. A large-scale 3D game, Zhuxian OL, has been successfully developed in only 4 months. It's such an online game that only took 4 months to develop. But it has become the most profitable online game under Perfect Space. In the game market of later generations, it has a very important market share.

Of course, the reason why Zhu Xian OL can be completed so quickly. It has something to do with the fact that there was a martial arts Gaiden ol before. But it is undeniable that Perfect Space's R&D capabilities are indeed first-class in China. This point is very worthy of learning from domestic game manufacturers.

"When do you plan to launch on the market?"

While chatting, the two came to the testing department. Looking at this new fantasy journey to the west, Chen Jiayi couldn't help but have a small sense of accomplishment. Although, it is not glorious to snatch the Journey to the West and the Fantasy Journey to the West from NetEase.

"The specific promotion plan, Mr. Gu is in charge, and I am not very clear on my side."

Liang Yuchong is only responsible for developing the game, and as for the promotion, he is not in charge.

"Well, get me a computer, and I'll try out the game too."

Chen Jiayi plans to play a few more interesting ways to play in the Fantasy Journey to the West. For example, the imperial examination, as well as life skills, and so on.

"Okay, Xiao Wu, open a computer for Mr. Chen."

Subsequently, Chen Jiayi came directly to this computer.

"The picture is very ok, and it can completely kill the original Journey to the West."

In fact, when Journey to the West was launched, compared with similar games, the picture of Journey to the West still looked rough. Not to mention the comparison with this brand new Fantasy Journey to the West now. There is no comparable surname for this, I have to compare it, judging from the picture, only the fantasy Zhuxian made by the perfect time and space in the later generations can be compared with the current fantasy Journey to the West.

It's only 2002 now, and it can be said that among similar games, the picture of Fantasy Journey to the West is the first. Even if you compare the ethereal journey with the fantasy journey to the west, the fantasy journey to the west still has to fight on the screen. However, the fly in the ointment is that the Fantasy Journey to the West is set up for the Q version of the round. It may not be as ethereal as the performance situation.

Seeing this picture, Chen Jia almost clapped her hands and praised. However, the game is not finished yet. Turn-based games don't attract players with graphics, the most important thing is the gameplay. Why is it that in the later generations, there are still so many people playing such a bad game screen, and the highest number of people online at the same time has reached 1 million. It can be seen that the original gameplay of Journey to the West is still very classic. Not to mention the upgraded Fantasy Journey to the West on the basis of Journey to the West, which has attracted countless players.

"Imperial examination."

First of all, Chen Jiayi experienced one of the most classic activities in turn-based games, that is, the Tang Imperial Examination. After investigation in later generations, it was said that it was an event held during the festival, which one the player liked the most. As a result, the imperial examination was the first to take the lead. The reason for this is because the questions of the imperial examination are very simple, and the tasks are richly rewarded. If you're lucky, you can also randomly get more valuable treasures, which can be directly listed on the public channel, making a bunch of players blush.

"Wow, keel."

Shit luck, all at once got the keel.

It's just that such a good thing should be "TV broadcast". After thinking about it, Chen Jiayi said to Liang Yuchong, "The precious items obtained from the imperial examination are recommended to be announced on the public channel to attract more players." ”

"What Mr. Chen said is that we didn't take this into account."

A lot of plans for Fantasy Journey to the West were made by Chen Jiayi, and for the understanding of Fantasy Journey to the West, it can be said that Chen Jiayi is no less than anyone here. Now I see Chen Jiayi come to try it out in person, and I am very happy. This is to hire a world-class game master to let him test the game himself. In normal times, how can there be such a good opportunity.

Subsequently, Chen Jiayi played seventy-two changes, running business, running tasks and so on. Overall, the level of completion is very high. Chen Jiayi didn't find any bugs. Perhaps, it was just for the sake of playing for a while. However, on the whole, the Fantasy Westward Journey is more classic than the original Fantasy Westward Journey in terms of the entire setting and gameplay.

In particular, this turn-based game also puts the two world's top technologies used in the Ethereal Journey into the Fantasy Journey to the West. makes the image of the whole game immediately raise a few points. Even when writing a gun report, you can blow it up accordingly. And you can go wild, saying that the world's first round game and so on.

"I almost experienced it, it's not bad, I'll discuss with Mr. Gu in a while to see when the Dream Journey to the West will be launched." Everyone, hurry up and try to find as many bugs as possible. Then, during the closed beta, we try to let players experience the feeling of the game as much as possible, rather than looking for bugs for us. ”

Although for many games, most of the task of closed beta is to find bugs. In many cases, there are games that only open a few simple versions of the closed beta. Some of the more advanced gameplay will not be available during the closed beta. But the Tang Dynasty network is different, he wants to use the Fantasy Journey to the West to attract players to play. If a game has so many bugs that a bunch of players lose faith in your game, it's worth the cost.

"Mr. Chen, rest assured, our side is also stepping up testing."

After the two finished speaking, Chen Jiayi left the game development department. When he left the game development department, Chen Jiayi smiled at the worker who stopped him as a sign of encouragement. Immediately, Chen Jiayi came to Gu Xiaoyu's office.

"Mr. Chen, what's the matter, you are not at ease with the Tang Dynasty network, and you want to come over to inspect and inspect?"

"Huh......"

Chen Jiayi was a little surprised, when did Gu Xiaoyu learn to joke, "It seems that Mr. Gu is very confident." I'm a small boss mentality, and I'm here to experience what it's like to be a boss. Well, this lap is not bad. ”

"It's rare, it's rare, I hope to come often in the future, so I can guide us."

The two made a joke or two, and Chen Jia got to the point and asked bluntly, "There are new/wave rivers and lakes in front, and NetEase's elves in the back, and what is even more powerful in front of you is Jinshan's swordsman love." How can we win in this battle? ”

According to Chen Jiayi's division, it is now the Warring States era of online games.

Then, the online game war that is about to start is the battle of the princes.
