Chapter 175: Tianya Online Literature Cup

For the second game, Zhang Ning has already thought about it.

The Sims.

Yes, this is the game.

Probably, many people have not heard of this game, or rather, have not played it. But if you know that The Sims sold more than 100 million records worldwide, you have to admire this game.

Compared to other combat strategy games, the Sims doesn't fight, and as his name suggests, this game is a simulation of our real life. At the beginning, players can choose a character and choose a class to develop and manage themselves.

Like going to work, socializing, living, buying a house, buying a car, including getting married...... And so on, you can do it in this game.

Strictly speaking, this is a development game.

You need to spend a lot of time developing this character and making him grow stronger and develop to the pinnacle of truth.

Of course, it is precisely because of the super creativity that Sims have come up with that people love this game so much. In particular, as long as you play The Sims, you'll keep playing. Because, in this game, he is too close to reality. When the characters in the game continue to work hard and achieve brilliant achievements, this feeling is dozens or hundreds of times stronger than the thrill of killing one or two NPCs and winning a few games.

After the two of them left, Zhang Ning told Luo Aoting about Dazhi's game plan.

However, this time, Zhang Ning did not write all the game plans in detail.

It's not just that this game is so well planned, because it's a game that simulates real human life. In terms of setting, he can't be easily completed by one person. Instead, for more reasons, Zhang Ning wanted the game team of Aotin Technology to complete it by themselves.

This is a huge benefit for the growth of the entire game company.

"Manager Luo, the Sims game will be developed by you."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I will definitely develop this game."

Luo Aoting originally planned to develop the Legend of the Three Kingdoms immediately after Plants vs. Zombies.

However, when Zhang Ning threw out this Sim, Luo Aoting's Legend of the Three Kingdoms was put down again.

Of course, this was put down by him of his own free will.

Compared to a classic idea like The Sims, Heroes of the Three Kingdoms has become a niche product again.

"Okay, then I'll go back to the mainland first, and if there's anything, call or email me when the time comes."

"Okay."

Luo Aoting nodded, and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Mr. Zhang, there is something I almost forgot." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Do we want to sell Plants vs. Zombies in China?"

Zhang Ning remembered this. Because at that time, Plants vs. Zombies was positioned as an international market, and even, at that time, thinking of domestic piracy, Zhang Ning did not think about the domestic market at all. However, at this moment, Luo Aoting suddenly said, but Zhang Ning smiled a little wryly, "Khan, what else are you pushing, cracked versions have appeared in China, and it is useless to push again." ”

Although Aotin Technology has not released the Chinese version for the time being, in this world, the technical difficulty of cracking the software is not high. After Plants vs. Zombies became popular abroad, such a game was also cracked by some hackers and spread to China.

However, saying that, Zhang Ning still instructed, "Let's push." Regardless of domestic piracy, our genuine version must be played. Moreover, there are still some friends in the market who support genuine users. Moreover, we also have to cultivate the legitimate habits of users, otherwise, we can only give up the domestic stand-alone game market in the future. ”

"Well, in three days, we will launch the official Chinese version."

Originally, Plants vs. Zombies had a Chinese version, but because of the recent busy time, it has not been released.

Now, as long as you plan to do two a day, you can officially launch it.

"Okay, you are responsible, I'll go back to Yanjing first."

After explaining this, Zhang Ning returned to Yanjing from the headquarters of Aoting Technology.

In the game, although Zhang Ning feels that he has just entered, he doesn't want to, and a few months have passed. However, counting the past few months, it has also been fruitful. Although Zhang Ning did not enter the online game for the time being because the domestic network speed and domestic computer hardware could not keep up, a plant vs. zombie made Zhang Ning make a lot of money. At the very least, this amount of money can allow Penguin Technology to smoothly survive the 3-year unprofitable period.

The future is in his own plan, Zhang Ning nodded and stretched his waist.

Back in Yanjing these days, Zhang Ning has become a little bored.

He had planned to take good care of Penguin Technology when he came back. However, after returning to the company, Zhang Ning found out. Under Chen Qingqing's management, Penguin Technology is already in order, and there is no place to meddle in itself. In addition, the recent trend of competitors going bankrupt has made Zhang Ning have nothing to do.

Early in the morning, Zhang Ning came to the company again.

Today, what to do?

Playing games?

A few days ago, I had already played a few all-nighters, and when I played again, Zhang Ning wanted to hit the wall.

Watching a movie?

There are no movies to watch in the near future, and in addition, with the current Internet speed, it takes too much time to download a movie, and Zhang Ning is too lazy to download it. Zhang Ning's favorite is on-demand viewing in web mode, which saves time and hard disk space. It's a pity that the network restrictions have prevented domestic video sites from appearing.

Online shopping?

Although Alibaba has appeared now, Alibaba is only a transaction between enterprises, and the variety of online goods is not rich at all, and the logistics and express delivery industry has not developed, so it is really difficult to buy a small thing in the future. This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Ning has not entered e-commerce for a long time.

Just when Zhang Ning felt that he didn't know what to play, the sound of instant messaging Didi prompted that someone had sent him a message.

Click to see that it is a message sent by Nalan Rongruo, the moderator of Tianya.

"Zhang Ning, are there any recent masterpieces?"

"What's the masterpiece?"

Zhang Ning shook his head, he is not a professional novelwriter, where is there any masterpiece. The reason why the first intimate contact was released was not that Zhang Ning was bored and idle and wanted to write, but just to promote QQ. However, thinking about this, Zhang Ning suddenly felt that he had been idle for a while now, wasn't it painful?

"Alas, no, we are still ready to pull you, a super popular writer, into the town."

Nalan Rongruo said with a sigh.

"Don't call me a writer, just an author. What, what are your activities? ”

"Yes, we recently held an event of the Tianya Internet Literature Cup, and we would like to invite you to participate."

"I see."

It seems that Tianya has also seen the charm of online literature.

This remark aroused Zhang Ning's interest.
