Chapter 779: Halo: War Plan

Microsoft also proposes to send promotional advertisements by email, use MSN pop-ups and game platform pop-ups to make promotional recommendations, and they will even take care of all the game companies' promotional programs, game companies only need to formulate a price they can afford, set up some packages with sales, and Microsoft will handle other things beautifully.

At first, when he heard Lin Zhihong talk about this, Yang Yun thought he was joking, but he didn't expect the news provided by Yang Zhan to be like this, and Yang Yun smiled almost from ear to ear.

Isn't this similar to the operating model of the starting point? A website has signed a contract with tens of thousands of authors, and the author only needs to concentrate on writing books, without worrying about other things, the starting point is responsible for operation, and then a certain percentage of the commission is charged, but this proportion is much higher than that of the game platform, Microsoft only charges 3% of the profits of third-party games at most, instead of deducting more than 30% of the manuscript fee from various names at the starting point.

Starting point all fiction works,Recommendation,Publicity,Publishing,Adaptation of film and television games, animation and other peripherals,These are all covered by the platform,The author doesn't have to worry about it.,Even if you worry about it, you can't do anything.,You can only do things according to the contract.,The same is true for third-party game providers in the Microsoft Alliance.,You can set prices independently.,But the platform doesn't give a recommended position.,Give it a limit or don't give it to the book city.,Or what the platform says。

Speaking of pop-ups, Yang Yun wanted to laugh when he heard it, who is the best at playing pop-ups? The starting point! As soon as you open the web page, it's full of pop-ups and floating ads, and Microsoft wants to use MSN to play pop-ups, please, the world's largest instant messaging software is called LongChat, which is used by hundreds of millions of users, really. LongChat's pop-up window is the biggest and biggest push, and it is not a very representative platinum sales game. Definitely not eligible for pop-ups.

MSN pop-ups? Can it compare with LongChat pop-ups?

There is a third one, which is a white lie. Small companies don't sell their PC games well, is there really a chance that they will succeed on TV games? It is untenable to fool people on the grounds that "the audience of PC games and TV games is different, PC is mostly old players, and TV home TV games have more women and children".

This is actually a false proposition of cause and effect, which should be the popular games that have been successful on TV games and are quite popular with women, children, and casual gamers. There's a chance that their PC versions won't be liked by older players.

It's not inevitable that the other way around.,Too many unpopular PC games are transplanted to TV games.,It's also very miserable.,Like those who hit the street.,The main station subscribes to garbage.,Fantasizing about becoming popular on wireless.,How is it possible! The wireless gods are all people who have a lot of money, and the wireless gods who have earned a lot of money want to enter the main station to condense the godhead, and there are many people who pounce like dogs!

But Microsoft didn't make the stakes clear. They only cite successful examples of transformation and continue to do foolish work, although Yang Yun feels disgusted, but he is not too disgusted. This is the characteristic of a businessman, if it were him, he would not talk about the risks and difficulties.

After Yang Yun figured these out. On the contrary, I appreciate some of Microsoft's ideas, which can also be implemented on the Dragon Game Battle Platform. Microsoft can copy him, and he can borrow from Microsoft. Matter.

I thought that he didn't need to worry about the acquisition of Bungie and DICE, Yang Yun was planning to ask Zhao Yongping to ask Yuan Xinyi of the legal department to have dinner, but he didn't expect Lin Zhihong's call to call again, it was still that request, and the commissioners of the two companies wanted to hear Yang Yun's thoughts.

Why are these two so ...... Pedantic?

Yang Yun simply called Zhao Yongping and went to Lin Zhihong's office together, and met Victor and Oliver, who had been drunk all afternoon, and it is estimated that they haven't woken up much yet.

After saying hello, Yang Yun asked Lin Zhihong in a low voice: "Have you negotiated the cooperation?" ”

"I'm just waiting for you to come and solve your doubts." There was a Chinese translator present, and Lin Zhihong was not easy to say.

The eyes of the two foreigners looking at Yang Yun were full of admiration, Yang Yun was not good at spoiling the fun, so please sit down.

"Mr. Victor, Mr. Oliver, I wonder how I can help you?"

Victor said: "I wonder what kind of effect can the Blood War Engine achieve? ”

Yang Yun spread his hands: "It's hard for me to say, we developed "Resident Evil" six years ago, and Square Enix developed "Final Fantasy 7" four years ago, you should have seen the promotional CG of these two games, and it has reached a movie-level effect, but I want to say that the CG effect of six years ago, our current blood war engine still can't do it." ”

Victor nodded: "I understand, sir, one minute of CG rendering may require hundreds of computers to assemble for a month of non-stop rendering. Then let me ask in another way, in which direction do you think the future of the bloody battle engine and the first-person shooter game should be developed? ”

This is another stupid question, in the future, Yu-Gi-Oh can develop in any direction, and those who advocate visual effects can choose games like "Crysis", which can be called a graphics card killer, and it will definitely make people feel that they are worth the money; If you advocate the fun of online play, you can learn the "Battlefield" series, team battles, and second-hand teammates have more fun; advocates personal plots, "Biochemical Shock", has connotation and depth; Advocating a strong sense of substitution, like watching a movie, that is the "Call of Duty" series, easy to use and easy to operate, and the music and sound effects are all praised.

"Actually, you shouldn't ask me what the Blood War Engine can do, but what you want to achieve with it." Yang Yun pretended to be profound, "Can you tell me what kind of first-person shooter game you want to make?" ”

Lin Zhihong coughed twice on the side and reminded in a low voice: "Mr. Yang...... Isn't that right? Creativity is a very private thing......"

"It's okay, it's just a not-so-mature idea of ours, in fact, I'm also willing to share it with you, and I hope to get your consent......"

Victor didn't care, he said, "First of all, I want to buy the Warhammer 40K world license ......in addition to the Blood War Engine."

"Hah!"

Yang Yun couldn't help laughing, Lin Zhihong couldn't believe it at all, Oliver and the two translators on the side were holding back very hard, and Zhao Yongping couldn't help it, covering his mouth with his hand and laughing.

Victor's face was a little embarrassed, his request was indeed a bit ...... It can be said that it is excessive.

Using Dragon's game engine and Dragon's worldview, is it intended to make a "StarCraft FPS"?

"I'm sorry, I know this request may be a bit excessive, but the name of the game is tentatively positioned as "Halo: War Plan", and it is also an interstellar background ......" Victor was afraid that his request would anger the people in front of him, so he quickly retracted this sentence.

Yang Yun raised his hand to interrupt him: "It's okay, in fact, I can understand." Let's put it this way, I don't care about the limited amount of imitation and borrowing of my game by future generations, please pay attention to the words I use, there is a limit. You should know that there is a word in the manga world called 'doujin', right? ”

Everyone nodded, and there is a practice in the fandom that uses the original work for secondary creation, because these creations involve copyright issues, and generally cannot be operated commercially.

But it is undeniable that fanworks can gather a lot of popularity, and the original works are basically super popular and excellent, "StarCraft" is like this, it can be called the most players in the world, the most mature real-time strategy game, and it has since extended a lot of peripherals, such as the "Hilarious Interstellar" comics supported by the official website of Dragon, the "StarCraft Chronicles" written by the players themselves, and many voice actors who imitate the voices of StarCraft characters, etc., are very popular.

Yang Yun continued: "The worldview of Warhammer 40K is indeed with us now, and it has been updated every year, which is a very mature and large framework. If you want to use it, you have to pay as much as you want, and when you go back and make changes, you can't exactly copy our StarCraft units. Are you okay with that? ”

Victor breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement: "We can accept it!" We have our own graphic artist. ”

"OK, then it's okay, you can use it!"

Yang Yun said with a smile, and then motioned to Lin Zhihong: "Add the Warhammer 40K project to the Bungie negotiations." ”

"That's it?"

A group of people almost fainted, Victor and Oliver couldn't believe it, they negotiated cooperation with Lin Zhihong before, it was really you fighting for me, you came and went, the tug-of-war lasted for a long time, it was a memorandum, it was a contract of intent, and it was an agreement to formally sign a contract, how did you change a big boss, and it was over after only asking a few words?

"yes, I'm done. Their creativity is very easy to understand, a first-person shooter game that takes place in the stars, the big frame is Warhammer 40K, players are easy to use, with a strong sense of substitution, using a bloody battle engine, you can also imagine the picture of their game in the future, nothing more than killing aliens, killing insects, saving mankind, that's all. Yang Yun said.

A group of people were dumbfounded, even Victor himself thought it was incredible, their game plan was still being planned, and even they didn't know what the game would look like in the future, why did this dragon boss seem to see the real thing?

"Mr. Victor, any more questions?" Yang Yun asked.

Victor came back to his senses: "For the time being...... No, by the way, after our game is developed in the future, can you give us a better recommendation position, or let StarCraft help promote it? ”

Is it so shameless? A room full of people scolded in their hearts, this Bungie is really, the engine has to be bought, the worldview has to be bought, and even the publicity and recommendation have to be ......
