You must know that the game he is going to make is a strategy war chess game, and Matsuno Yasushi is an out-and-out absolute authority in this kind of game.

You can even say it unceremoniously.

All players in the world who like this kind of game, basically there is no game that has not played Matsuno Yasuha's game, and his "Royal Knights" is the pinnacle of this kind of game, although Jester's "Fire Emblem" is a beginning of this kind of game, but "Fire Emblem" is still based on RPG elements after all, even if it is Jester's own "Dream Simulation", it has not departed from his fire emblem and Matsuno Tai's settings in "Royal Knights".

Therefore, when Ye Mingzhang heard that Matsuno Tai had taken the initiative to be willing to supervise his game, it meant that he was just optimistic about this game, and he also felt that this game would be successful.

Therefore, it is impossible for Ye Mingzhang not to be excited.

Of course, as before, although Matsuno Tai has already said that no matter whether they become the first-party developers of Mars Entertainment in the end, they are willing to serve as the supervisor of "Knights of the Burning Dragon", Ye Mingzhang still shook his head and expressed his apology: "Although I am extremely happy to hear you say this, after all, this is not my own game, I still need to discuss it with my friends before I can make a decision." ”

Time flies.

It didn't take much to say about Hantang and their game, Knights of the Burning Dragon.

After Ye Mingzhang returned to Wanwan, he told his friends about it, and his friends were also extremely excited when they heard the news, and even blamed Ye Mingzhang, why didn't they directly agree to come down at that time, what if Mars Entertainment repented of it?

This also made Ye Mingzhang very passive.

He really wanted to say yes immediately, but. Here's the problem, after all, this matter is not something that can be decided by himself, so he said that he would come back first to discuss it.

I didn't expect these friends of his to appreciate it, but fortunately, it was just an inconsequential matter, when they went to Mars Entertainment's office in the bend to inquire, the office also expressed Xiàn very enthusiastic, and even, the office also received a notice from the Asian branch in Japan, about the establishment of Hantang Studio. The headquarters has also been handed over to the Asian branch, and in a few days, the Asian branch will personally send someone to deal with this matter.

Even vaguely mentioned on the phone that this time it was Matsuno Yasushi who was in charge of this matter.

As for the choice of whether to become a third-party or the first party of Mars Entertainment, Ye Mingzhang and his friends fell into a quarrel, and some people believe that it is a great benefit to become the first-party studio of Mars Entertainment, but the discount on distribution and platform fees is almost equivalent to all the income they can get for a game.

That's where the problem came in.

Although the development atmosphere of Mars Entertainment is very free. It's also very easy, as long as the studio can survive on its own after deducting the proportional commission of the head office, what kind of games will the studio develop? The headquarters will not care at all, unless the studio wants to apply for development funds from the headquarters, the headquarters will interrogate and review.

For example, Studio A is about to work on a big project.

But they don't have the money to do this big project on their own. At this time, Studio A can apply to the headquarters and request the headquarters to fund the original work. Of course, when these independent studios provide financial assistance, the headquarters is qualified to review the projects, and if the headquarters thinks the projects are good, they will invest in them.

Of course, it's not a gratuitous investment.

It needs to be divided again according to the proportion.

For example, the original independent studio and the parent company of Mars Entertainment were divided according to the ratio of 28.

After deducting the distribution and platform fees of the game, the headquarters will first collect 20% of the sales revenue of the game, and then the remaining 70% will belong to the studio, and if Mars Entertainment does not invest, then the remaining 80% will naturally belong to the studio, and if the head office invests, then it is natural to further divide the sales revenue of this 80% according to the proportion of investment.

Naturally, only when the headquarters has the funds to invest, they will ask and supervise the development of the game, and if there is no investment from the headquarters, they don't care what games the studios below develop.

Because after the game is developed, in addition to the PC game can be sold directly, as long as it wants to be released on the console platform, it needs to be reviewed by the console platform, and as long as it can pass the review of the guò platform, then the game can be sold on the platform.

In other words, the degree of freedom in the development environment of the first-party studio of Mars Entertainment is also the most free among all small game companies, and even some small game companies sometimes need to compromise for the sake of sales, but the first-party studio of Mars Entertainment does not need it at all, of course, if the sales are not good, it is difficult for the self-financing first-party studio to survive.

And the biggest problem that Ye Mingzhang's friends quarreled with him was not the freedom of game development, because it was not a problem in the first place.

The biggest problem is that if they agree to the request of Mars Entertainment's first-party studio, then the owner of the studio they have established will no longer be theirs, even though they have never really set up such a game development studio, although in normal times, they have called themselves so.

"If it weren't for Mars Entertainment, we probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to develop the game we wanted to make."

After someone said this, Ye Mingzhang and the others also fell silent, it is indeed true that this is true, but they are still a little unwilling to give the ownership of the studio they have not yet established to others.

"Actually, the first condition they gave us was that we each held 50 percent of the shares, which I think is pretty good." Ye Mingzhang once again talked about the first condition that Jester told him, which is indeed good, although he cannot enjoy the cost of the first-party development studio of Mars Entertainment in the distribution channel, as well as the maximum discount on the platform's royalty.

But after all, Mars Entertainment occupies half of the shares, so they have a greater discount than the average third-party studio.

Moreover, Mars Entertainment does not have an absolute controlling stake in them.

They can make whatever decision they want, without being distracted by Martian entertainment.

Just when everyone was about to agree to the first condition, Ye Mingzhang's words once again made them fall into contemplation: "Do you really think that if Mars Entertainment wants to, they can't get a controlling stake in Hantang?" ”

Ye Mingzhang said this sentence while sneering.

After he said this, he also added: "I don't think it makes sense for us to discuss these for a studio that we haven't officially established yet, and I personally think that there is nothing wrong with being able to become the first-party studio of Mars Entertainment, although we will lose the opportunity to sell on all platforms, but being able to sell on all platforms may not be able to reduce our royalty." ”

"The most important thing is that the main audience for strategy chess games is on the Dreambox platform."

After a few times of contemplation.

In the end, Ye Mingzhang and his choice still chose the second condition, that is, Mars Entertainment holds 51% of Hantang's shares, and Hantang has also become the first-party studio of Mars Entertainment.

Of course, the development plan of "Knights of the Burning Dragon" did not start immediately, after Hantang was officially established and became the first first-party studio outside of Japan in the Japanese branch of Mars Entertainment, which has been reorganized into the Asian branch, Matsuno Tai has once again invited Ye Mingzhang and others.

Inviting them to Japan for an internship for half a year coincided with the preparation of his new work "Royal Knights".

Ye Mingzhang also told his friends before, whether it is Jester or their idol, the absolute master of strategy war chess games, Matsuno Tai has told him that the design of "Knights of the Burning Dragon" is still a little rough, probably because the designers are some newcomers and have no experience in developing games, so after hearing Matsuno Tai's invitation.

Several people also happily agreed.

After all, if you can develop a game with your idol, then the experience you can get is definitely much better than their blind exploration.

Jester is also very concerned about this matter, he specially told Matsuno Tai, after this matter has been settled, he should be notified immediately, so, after finishing the Hantang matter, Matsuno Tai didn't even have time to rest, so he directly called Jester across the ocean, explained to him some things about Hantang, and heard that Hantang finally chose to become his own first-party studio, Jester was still very happy.

It's not because Hantang is such an important studio.

Besides, there is a problem with the character of the people who make the zuò of Hantang, and the game they make is fun, but it's too hardcore, that is, it's too difficult, such a game, of course, fans will be very loyal, but there won't be too many fan pages.

And there won't be many fans, which means that it will definitely not bring much economic benefit to itself. (To be continued......)
