Chapter 162: League Development
"Yes, I think this project is very promising. THE ORIGINAL IDEA FOR "CASTLE HEARTS" CAME FROM SUPERCELL'S "CLAN WARS" IN 12, THE GAME WAS VERY POPULAR, AND SOON AFTER ENTERING THE APPLE APP MARKET, IT QUICKLY TOOK THE ORIGINAL SALES CHAMPION "CANDY CRUSH SAGA" TO THE CURRENT POSITION, AND SOON DEVELOPED AN ANDROID VERSION. According to the calculations of the data collection department, the total revenue of "Clan Wars" this year is likely to exceed 1.5 billion US dollars, or even close to 2 billion, which is undoubtedly a very huge market.
The core of this game is full of interesting attack and defense of the city and the cultivation of elements, this core element is actually not uncommon, in the traditional web game many are this mode, just like those bad street Three Kingdoms page games, basically this mode, but the advantage of "Clan Wars" is to carry it forward and form its unique interest, and in these aspects our company's technology can be done far more than these content is richer and more exciting and more attractive, whether it is CG ability, AI or the world framework of the game, the previous Balranta World is proof of this, so I thought why not do it?
I selected this project from a number of projects provided by different studios, and I surveyed people between the ages of 15 and 25 on social networking sites, and more than 80 percent of them were definitely a good idea, and about 67 percent of the people confirmed that if there was a game like this, they would definitely try it......"
Zhang Danmiao reported a series of data in an orderly manner, showing that she was not a whim for this project, but after detailed investigation and analysis.
"Very good, your plan is very good, I believe this game will sell well." Chen Peng said with a smile. It's not a compliment, it's that he really thinks the proposal is very good. Completely combine the advantages of Transwarp Technology to form a unique core competitiveness that others cannot replicate, and this concept has always been Chen Peng's belief from the field of thinking to Transwarp Technology, and it has been proved that this concept is successful, so Zhang Danmiao's proposal that is completely in line with Chen Peng's concept has unsurprisingly won his support.
"So you're optimistic about the game?" Zhang Danmiao smiled and narrowed her eyes, looking like a little fox who had stolen a chicken.
"Of course." Although Chen Peng subconsciously felt that something was wrong. But still nodded.
"That's great, then please trouble Chen Peng to lead the game department to make this game." Zhang Danmiao revealed the answer with a smile.
"Huh? I'll do it? ”
"Of course, who better to do this than you, who developed the world of Balranta and pioneered the current AI development technology?"
Zhang Danmiao moved her body to Chen Peng, sat next to Chen Peng, and patted him on the shoulder.
"This project will allow Transwarp to open up the market at once, but there must be problems, the most critical of which is time. You must know that the popularity of the market has ups and downs, and we have to squeeze in before the popularity of this type of game subsides, relying on the quality of our games to attract a large number of players. In this way, you can succeed, otherwise if you miss this opportunity, you don't know when the next opportunity will come, so this glorious task can only be handed over to you. ”
Chen Peng couldn't help but laugh and looked at Zhang Danmiao, who was rude and rude at the end, and felt that he was a warrior who went to blow up the bunker.
"Don't say anything about what you're busy with the laboratory now, I really haven't seen you go there a few times, the laboratory is not running very well, I heard that the progress is still very good, and there is no problem with coming up with a set of finished products within the year." Just when Chen Peng was about to say something. Zhang Danmiao had already blocked this excuse first.
As Zhang Danmiao said, the laboratory established with Hyster 3D has been officially operational for some time. During this period, Chen Peng also went once every few days to control the progress and grasp the research direction, and other daily work was taken care of by several experienced senior researchers, which was not Chen Peng's good work, and he was happy not to be affected by these trivial matters.
So Chen Peng shouldn't be too relaxed these days.
Now it is pointed out like this by Zhang Danmiao. Chen Peng didn't know what to say.
"Brother Chen Peng, this project is really really critical, it's very important to me and the company, you can help pull ~~" Then Zhang Danmiao used another fatal blow - snorting and shaking Chen Peng's arm. The goosebumps on Chen Peng's body came out.
What else can Chen Peng say, he can only raise his hand and surrender.
"Alright, alright, don't speak in such a horrible tone, I promised."
"That's good." Zhang Danmiao sat up all of a sudden, becoming a very professional professional woman, looking at that as if she didn't exist before, "So how long do you estimate it will take to complete this game?" ”
"I want to think about it...... It is estimated that a basic version should be available in about three months, and it will be launched in four months at most. Chen Peng went back to all the requirements in the planning case, estimated the approximate production time, and then gave Zhang Danmiao an answer.
"Then it's no problem, I'll arrange publicity matters with the planning department according to your production schedule, as long as the quality of the game is okay, I promise that it will be an instant hit this time." Zhang Danmiao said confidently, and then his face changed again, holding Chen Peng's arm, burying his head in his shoulder and arching like a kitten, "You are so good, Brother Chen Peng~~"
"Ahem." A gentle cough sounded at the right time, and Pan Luyao, who had been listening quietly to the conversation between the two on the side, gave each of them a glass of juice, "You have been chatting for so long, drink something to moisten your throat." ”
"I'm really a little thirsty, Miao Miao, drink juice." Chen Peng took the opportunity to push Zhang Danmiao away, picked up the juice and drank it.
Zhang Danmiao sat up like no one else, picked up the juice cup with a smile, and thanked Pan Luyao: "Thank you, Sister Yaoyao, well, it's delicious." It's just that only Pan Luyao, who was face to face with her, saw the extraordinary things in her smiling crescent moon eyes.
"It's nothing, if you like it, drink more, if it's not enough, I'll get it again." Similarly, Pan Luyao's face did not have the slightest abnormality, and she still had a smile like a spring breeze.
The two girls looked at each other for a while, and then they both laughed heartily, it seems that there is no difference between a pair of close sisters, but what the real situation is, only the parties can tell clearly.
……
Just when Chen Peng and others began to develop Transwarp's next riot game, on the other side of the world, the "Holy War" Huaxia League jointly organized by the Thinking Field and Huangyou Technology had entered the fifteenth round.
In order to open the level of this league from the level of other e-sports competitions at the beginning, Zhang He and Wang Yuan directly decided to hold the entire schedule at the Mercedes Cultural Center in the Expo Park, preferring to spend a lot of money to avoid reducing the actual experience of the audience because the venue is too low, which will affect the image of the "Holy War" league.
However, as a new competitive game, it is unrealistic to want the player base to fully accept it from the beginning, at the beginning of the first round of the league, there were only more than 2,000 people sitting on the main stage with 18,000 seats, and all of them were free tickets, so it can be said that the entire infield is sparse and looks particularly bleak.
For this situation, the senior management of the two companies has been prepared, and did not take the proposal of some personnel to replace the smaller venue, but continued to persevere, increase publicity efforts in many aspects, and constantly broadcast the wonderful pictures of the competition on major network video sites, hold various lottery activities, and so on.
Under this insistence, the number of on-site spectators in the second round of the league has increased significantly, and by the sixth round, the audience attendance rate has exceeded sixty percent, and until now in the fifteenth round of the league, the number of on-site spectators has increased to more than eighty percent, making the atmosphere of the scene very warm.
Convenient transportation, top-notch stage effects, well-prepared warm-up programs, professional broadcast commentary lineup, and more importantly, more exciting and exciting games, make this game day every weekend a day for this group of young e-sports fans to gather and carnival.
Now that Holy War, a competitive upstart, is rapidly gaining a share of other competitive games in the same genre, driven by the league, it is a trend that it is already possible to become the best player in competitive games in a year's time.
Both the thinking field and Huangyou Technology are very satisfied, not only increasing the preparation budget for next season, but also adding bonuses for the league. Now the total prize money of this spring competition has reached 10 million, of which the champion can get up to 3.5 million, the runner-up can get 1.75 million, even the bottom team can get at least 500,000, and the thinking field and Huangyou Technology also promise that the prize money of the autumn competition will increase, and the total prize money of the year-end global finals will be more than imagined.
In the excitement of this high prize money system, all participating teams should be fighting for that position for fame and fortune, and some clubs and individuals who were originally in a wait-and-see state are also starting to move and want to join the feast.
Today's competition is already the most crucial round, which will largely determine the final position of these participating teams this year and how much they will get from this piece of the pie. (To be continued......)
