Chapter 742: Start with the Text Mod

Domestic online games started with text mods.

Jester is extremely clear about this, and there is no technical difficulty in this kind of word game in the form of web pages, and this is also the most suitable for China that has just entered the Internet era.

Of course, it won't be much money, the important thing is influence, as long as you have influence, when you want to fully promote online games in the future, you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

Jester didn't say anything, and his sister-in-law frowned when she heard her nephew talk about the game.

She is aware of the current domestic gaming environment.

Piracy is rampant, and even Mars Entertainment's genuine games can't be sold in China, for example, Mars Entertainment's studio in China, the "Sword and Demon Record", which is highly evaluated internationally, can sell hundreds of thousands of copies abroad, but in China, it only sells a little more than a thousand copies - of course, this current computer has a lot to do with it.

However, there are not a few people who play this game.

Many computer rooms with only a few computers are equipped with pirated copies of this game, which is the hottest game in China this year, and it can even be said that it has caused a wave of popularity.

Even Jester's sister-in-law has heard the name of the game, so she can know it.

However, the genuine sales of this game in China are only 1,000 copies, and the domestic estimate is not to say all, but as long as it can be played, at least sixty percent, or even seventy percent of the computers are equipped with this game.

Of course, for this kind of domestic game environment that is still in the eight-bit machine, even the sixteen-bit machine is rare, suddenly let them no longer look at the vague digital dot matrix mosaic, but let them play this completely Chinese, even Chinese dubbing, or their favorite theme of the game, this is the first time, this kind of love from the bottom of your heart. It's hard to put into words.

Compared with some of the current world's top works, such as Japanese RPGs on many consoles, this game does not have much advantage, and even in the setting of the plot, it is a bit old-fashioned, in the system, a large number of imitations of Diablo's setting, and many game media editors abroad are often complained about, and many people say that this game is actually a different story, using him as the skin of Diablo. I brought it up and sold it again.

However, the current players are still immersed in the shock brought by Diablo, when Diablo was a little tired of playing, he suddenly found such a game, which seems to be not inferior to "Diablo" at all in terms of being well-made, and it is also produced by Mars Entertainment, the quality is guaranteed, although it is a studio that has not heard much, but Mars Entertainment is also famous for its studios. It's also normal to have a studio that you haven't heard of.

It was in this context that many Diablo players threw themselves into the arms of Sword and Sword.

Of course, it's not the front part, but so far it has sold more than 400,000 copies, and it's enough to be proud of Fu Zan and his studio. Sixty dollars for a game, that's a full $24 million, and after deducting some of the money that goes to the parent company, they also get more than $10 million. This incident directly shocked the central government.

They never imagined that making games could be so profitable!

This is not the time when 20 years later, when tens of millions of dollars in foreign exchange earnings may not be much in the eyes of a county-level city. In this era, some impoverished prefecture-level cities don't know if they can have such foreign exchange investment in a year, let alone that a company can directly earn so much foreign exchange.

Such an enterprise is simply the god of wealth of the local government.

More He Kuan, a company that has earned more than 10 million dollars from such a game, has less than 30 employees combined!

Jester came to China this time, although the time was still broken, but he still asked people to go to some computer rooms in the imperial capital to take a look, basically the games he was playing were in addition to "Sword and Magic Record", which were some real-time strategy games, such as some of Mars Entertainment's "Age of Empires", "Warcraft", and "Command and Conquer" by Ximutou.

Of course, the most popular is "Sword Sealed Demon Record".

Almost during this time, it became a kind of belief and symbol for domestic gamers.

In the minds of many people, this "Sword Sealed Demon Record" is a game that is not inferior to those foreign masterpieces, and even more fun and excellent.

"I'm not optimistic about the current domestic game market."

This is what Jester's sister-in-law disagrees with, and she is very pertinent and affirmative.

"I'm talking about a different kind of gameplay that's completely different from the current mainstream buy-and-play game -- like my company's new experimental game in the United States, the MMORPG ......," Jester briefly said about his plans, but his sister-in-law didn't know much about the game industry, so she didn't know what was so special about this MMORPG game.

When Jester took about ten minutes to explain to his sister-in-law what MMORPG was, his sister-in-law somewhat understood.

"You mean that we can attract some pirate players to play our games by paying for time?" Jester's sister-in-law asked with what she understood.

Not very accurate, but Jester nodded.

"If you want to reverse the piracy-copy environment in China, it is almost impossible, at least within 20 years, the reason is very simple, the concept is still secondary, the main thing is income, now the per capita income in China is 100 yuan, the price of a genuine game is 60 US dollars, which is almost three or four hundred US dollars, such a high price, so that domestic players spend three or four months of the company, without eating or drinking, it is impossible."

"The second aspect is the concept, the domestic copyright protection is basically zero, the piracy of games, books, audio and video piracy in the country, there is almost no criminal cost, so that people can act recklessly -- those who do piracy are not afraid, and those who watch piracy are not afraid, in this case, if the genuine thing wants to develop, it is a fool's dream."

While listening to Jester's words, Jester's sister-in-law nodded, what Jester said was very right, and it was very consistent with the current domestic environment.

"So, we're going to think differently......"

Jester smiled and gave his answer. (To be continued......)
