After checking for a long time, there are only some discussions among players on the English Internet, and there is no detailed information like Celadon Encyclopedia. www.xstxt.org Gabe suddenly couldn't understand it.

So he decided to ask a history professor to write a concise and easy-to-understand background document to include in the game. So that players will not be confused about the background of the game after buying it, and it is difficult to solve it.

Gabe played until the afternoon, and he couldn't stop. It wasn't until about 8 p.m. Eastern time that the Chinese company came to work. So he stayed in his office and was ready to play the game by eight o'clock. Then talk to the Chinese.

Just because the threshold for acceptance of a story is high doesn't mean it's completely unacceptable. Gabe had no sense of the plot at first, and even felt that the game was boring. But gradually, he immersed himself in the world of the game, and felt that the combat part of the game became more and more enjoyable.

In the evening, the game was finally cleared. He took the fastest route to clear the customs, and the difficulty was also low, purely to see the plot process, so it took such a short time.

To be honest, there are many things in this plot that Gabe is difficult to understand, for example, for Europeans and Americans, surrender is not a shameful thing. Gabe does not understand the psychological motivation of the protagonist not to surrender in that situation.

But this did not affect the perception, and seeing the final ending, he felt that the six hours of the game had not been wasted. There is also a vague expectation of what kind of adventure the protagonist will have in the final chapter.

The rest of Villefort had already left work, and the office was quiet. Gabe leaned back in his chair, his eyes closed, reminiscing about the plot of the second chapter.

The plot of the game is not only unfamiliar with the background. The rest is still very well understood. It is the story of a group of people who are betrayed, gradually lose hope, and fight to the end with their inner convictions. It can't be considered a tragedy in the conventional sense, at least the protagonist has not broken his hands and feet, or died. But Gabe watched the suicide of the regiment leader, and his heart also felt a faint pain.

This shows that there is a very good screenwriter in Celadon Technology, who can tell such a "remote" story eloquently, and there is no inexplicable confusion. But Gabe still regrets that if Celadon Technology can use other familiar backgrounds to make this game, I think it will go to the next level.

There are similar stories. At the beginning of World War II, there were more of these kinds of things. For example, change the theme to the period of German blitzkrieg against Poland. Somewhere the Polish garrison. I was told by my superiors that as long as I held on. will get reinforcements from the Anglo-French army, but I didn't wait for a long time......

Strange to see a selfish old Europe, this kind of work is very strange in American society! The whole story is a change of soup, not a change of medicine, compared to a failed defensive battle on the Chinese battlefield. Definitely more popular with American players.

It's a pity. It's also just Gabe's fantasy. can let him imagine like this. The quality of the game has been stated. He now has to admit that he underestimated the work "Far Eastern Battlefield" before.

Sales are not necessarily "dangerous to break a million". The "Far Eastern Battlefield" series is a big topic after all. After the trial was released, it was notorious, and the main problem was "disrespecting the player's plot". But. Scolding is more eye-catching than boasting, and a lot of infamy can also make people remember this game.

Maybe at the beginning, because the threshold is too high, many players will retreat. But there are always some players who play this game. After the player who eats the crab first has experienced it, he will start to tell everyone that the game is worth playing, and other players will probably be curious.

Without a lot of publicity, the game's first week sales might not be very good. But the stamina is very strong, and the monthly sales and even the quarterly sales should be very beautiful. Plus, there's a multiplayer mode.

In the Chinese market, the first chapter of "My Anti-Japanese" is a big hit, relying on players who are moved by the fact that Chinese can also make such a game, and pay for the game like donations. In the U.S. market, there are more factors driving the game's sales.

Its multiplayer mode is also important. In the United States, computers are already mass consumer goods, and they are not an uncommon thing. Families, roommates, university dormitories...... Internet cafes are not the only places where you can use LAN connection.

Due to the advanced design of the AI, the first chapter allows players to play the computer very happily cooperatively. This point of play is actually to the appetite of many people. Some people just don't like the outdoors, but they also want to hang out with friends. It just so happened that the first chapter appeared, so they dragged on two, two on three. This eventually led to the game's big hit.

The new work of "Far Eastern Battlefield" not only still has a multiplayer mode, but also adds a lot of weapons, and the gameplay point is believed to have improved a lot. Gabe hasn't played online yet and doesn't know what multiplayer is really like. Just refer to the first chapter and think it should be good.

If Villefort decides to invest heavily in promoting the game, it can also increase the game's first-week sales. Gabe grabbed the phone and talked to his partner about how much he should pay for the game.

After talking about eight o'clock, the boss of that Chinese company finally went online.

Gabe immediately called Li Ming and prepared to communicate with the Chinese.

……

Wang Bucheng came to the Celadon Building in the morning and saw the news from the United States.

In fact, many things have been negotiated for a long time. As early as the beginning of the production of the second chapter, Villefort sent a legal attaché to China to sign various agency agreements. The method of division, the respective responsibilities of the two companies, and so on, have been clarified.

Chapter 2 is divided into 55 parts. It's not that a game that sells fifty yuan, Celadon Technology can get twenty-five yuan. Instead, after deducting the intermediate links, the remaining share, Celadon Technology and Villefort split in half.

Based on a game priced at fifty dollars, after deducting the distressingly high tax, Celadon Technology can get a little more than five dollars. If it is calculated into RMB, it is more than 40 yuan.

However, the final release date has not been determined. At that time, the preliminary opinion was that the two sides would adjust according to the situation, and there was no hard agreement to cooperate with each other.

Celadon Technology's schedule here is set to death, and it will definitely be "officially" released during the Spring Festival. The U.S. side hasn't decided yet.

Li Ming typed: "We now have two choices, one is to release it as soon as possible. The second is to carry out a lot of publicity. Let players know about the game. Publicity includes hosting play-testing events, inviting media reviews, placing advertisements, and more. If you advertise it, you can increase a lot of first-week sales. But it will require your cooperation. ”

Wang said without pressure: "I don't care too much about the sales in the first week. In the end, it's the volume that counts. You'd better post it as soon as possible. ”

Li Ming replied, "First-week sales are very important for a game. A lot of gamers pick their games based on the number of new game launches every week. This has become a conventional standard for judging quality. It's helpful to increase your total sales. ”

I heard that it could increase sales, and Wang was tempted, who would have trouble with money. said: "Then how to publicize it?" ”

"We wanted to have a half-month trial event, and it takes time to plan for such an event to be held on such a large scale in the United States. Therefore, we hope to delay the release date by one month. Li Ming said.

That's actually what Gabe meant. "Far Eastern Battlefield" sold a lot, and Villefort could also make a lot of money.

"This ...... I'm not afraid to tell you that I've released the content of the game in China. If you want to spread the word. Maybe it's counterproductive. Wang said embarrassedly.

There are also pirated ones in the United States. It's just that more players are willing to pay. If you really want to play, is there anything you can't play? Maybe soon the stand-alone version here in China will be circulating.

Apparently the United States was shocked by this news. Li Ming and Gabe have both played "Far Eastern Battlefield", such a premier masterpiece, and it is actually free for players to play? That maker drinks the northwest wind?

Li Ming didn't need Gabu's instructions. So he hurriedly typed and asked, "You do this." How to make a profit? ”

Last year, he was also invited by Wang to join Celadon Technology. Li Ming has always weighed it up to the truth. Special attention is also paid to celadon technology. I heard that Celadon Technology gave the game to players for free. Li Ming was stunned. Making games is not charity, how can you do that?

Wang Buyi typed: "Don't worry, there are still multiplayer modes that are not open." I'm going to make a profit with only the multiplayer part. ”

After typing. Wang did not bear to read it again, and made sure that his tone was calm enough not to let people notice that he had any complaints, so he sent it over.

He took the effort to check the text because he wasn't that calm in his heart. He did it in a different way, for practical reasons. Just know it yourself, and say it to make foreigners laugh.

Li Ming translated Wang Buful's words to Gabe, and then the two looked at each other. They also have some knowledge of the situation in China. The Chinese's approach must be because piracy is rampant.

So Wang Bubu directly canceled the concept of pirated genuine versions, let people play stand-alone for free, and relied on multiplayer mode to charge? Can this make money?

"Are you sure you're going to make a profit?" Li Ming typed.

"Absolutely." Wang said.

Gabe couldn't help it, took the keyboard, and typed it in English himself: "If you need to rely on overseas income to balance R&D expenses, then you should use a theme that caters more to overseas players." Drop your self-moving stories and go along with our offering. ”

Gabe pondered for a long time, but still deleted the last two impulsive sentences. Only the first half was issued.

The king looked at Gabe's words and smiled. This is resentment!

Why resent? Isn't it because the game is well done?

It's like Wang Buful's previous play of "Total War: Shogun 2", and he also felt regretful in his heart. China has a long history, and any dynasty that comes out can make magnificent epic masterpieces. Why do you need to do Japan's Warring States period?

At that time, Wang Buyi also saw that there were really Chinese people on the Internet who gave ideas to the manufacturer, suggesting a full-scale war in the Three Kingdoms era. Japanese companies have already dug deep into China's Three Kingdoms Era, and there are many fans of the "Three Kingdoms" series around the world, and if you do the Three Kingdoms Era, you can also guarantee sales.

But what can people do to do "Total War: Rome 2" that caters to European and American players? Even if Wang Buyi wants to play a full-scale war with a Chinese background, he still doesn't have to watch the Roman Janissaries cut down the barbarians.

This would be the other way around. The gameplay of My Anti-Japanese is very high, so it attracts Gabe. But because it was done well, they regretted the game even more. (To be continued......)
