Chapter 687 - Can't Recruit People at All

"My idea is to make a game of the Three Kingdoms or Journey to the West, not the kind of shoddy garbage game made for krypton gold of the page game mobile game, it is a large-scale stand-alone machine, and my current tendency is to do Journey to the West, because it is difficult for the Three Kingdoms to compete with the neon side." Xu Changlong said.

"Wait a minute, aren't the Three Kingdoms ours, Guan Neon?" The Witcher Who Loved is online again.

"Well, this is more embarrassing, there used to be "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" and "Proud Three Kingdoms", but later, we really can't do it here, so there are only online games left, except for the name, in fact, it has nothing to do with the Three Kingdoms, and it will only make you kryptonite." Xu Changlong shook his head and sighed.

In the final analysis, it is still a pirated board, and after it is made, the genuine version will sell 30,000 copies, and the pirated board can sell 300,000 copies.

You say embarrassing, not embarrassing.

"So, it's all made of crooked nuts?" Lin Dong also felt quite embarrassed.

Our own culture has not been able to export its culture to the outside world, and as a result, it has been taken by outsiders and exported itself.

"Yes, in recent years, Huaxia's status has become higher, and Crooked Fruit Capital has also begun to learn to please the domestic market, and the movie is rubbing our popularity, making something similar to "The King of Kung Fu" and "The Great Wall", and planning to co-produce Journey to the West, there are more and more Chinese elements in various large-scale games, and the neon side is even more bulging on the Chinese culture, but we ourselves seem to be only keen on guiding players to kryptonite, and the big factory on our side ...... "If you slander it, Xu Changlong doesn't want to say it."

Not to mention that Lin Dong also understood, so he immediately patted the case and said: "It can't go on like this!" ”

The performance is a bit exaggerated, which is not quite in line with his identity as a Spring City actor, but the two game practitioners are not judges of the film festival, so they are still easily agitated.

Li Changwei also echoed and said: "We have to make our own Three Kingdoms game, no matter how difficult it is, we must overcome this hurdle, not only to do it, but also to do it better than abroad." ”

"Uh......" Xu Changlong didn't know what to say.

"Yes, the investment must be indispensable, the graphics must be good, the gameplay must be top-notch, and what else is there?" Lin Dong and Li Changwei sang and harmonized.

"And the user experience!" Li Changwei's nickname is Li User, who talks about users all day long, and the company's employees often complain about him, but the game users of the cat factory like it very much.

This is also one of the reasons why the cat factory game has always had a good reputation in the industry, and another reason is that krypton is reasonable.

"We want to be a stand-alone game manufacturer, and we want to benchmark against the world's first-class game manufacturers, Uncle Xu, everything depends on your Heluo Studio." Boss Lin was impassioned.

And Xu Changlong looked at these two goods, as if he was looking at a pen.

Domestic single-player games have long since died.

It was dead ten years ago.

After the tide of online games that began in 2002, domestic single-player games declined rapidly, and game producers changed careers, switched to online games, and left the pit of single-player games.

In 2002, there were 397 single-player games in Huaxia.

In 2003, 194 models, a half-discount.

In 2004, 116 models.

In 2005, the number of new single-player games released in Huaxia was only 35.

In the following ten years, there were only a handful of stand-alone games released in Huaxia, and this year's "The Legend of the New Jin Yong's Heroes" released by the cat factory detonated the audience in the gamer circle.

There's not much publicity, and it's full of old players who spontaneously promote.

Everyone shouted one after another, this is the conscience of domestic production.

"The Legend of the New Jin Yong Heroes" can earn 100 million, relying on feelings, and it is the heavy blow of the legal department of the cat factory, in fact, the legal department spent tens of millions just to collect evidence and fight a lawsuit.

If you factor this into the cost, this game doesn't actually make much money.

Xu Changlong didn't expect that this would make the boss mistakenly think that this market had great potential, and he floated up inexplicably. 591 net

He could already imagine that if the next projects were lost, and each project would lose hundreds of millions, his Heluo studio would most likely face the fate of dissolution again.

"Boss, I think, let's make a game, we can't take too big a step, it's good to polish a game at the same time, those factories outside have the ability to continue the next project after receiving the payment."

"Uncle Xu, don't worry, we just need to recruit if we don't have enough manpower." What Lin Dong wants is to stride forward.

Otherwise, you won't be able to pull the egg.

"Mr. Lin, I can't recruit anyone, our current Heluo Studio has gathered most of the top stand-alone game developers in China, and it has already reached the top of the sky when it recruits two hundred, and it has not developed much in ten years, and there is no new blood at all." Xu Changlong is a clever woman, and it is difficult to cook without rice.

Who doesn't understand recruitment.

The key is that you have to be able to recruit people.

"Even if there is no development in ten years, it will not be only two hundred." Lin Dong didn't believe it.

"It's true that there are more than one or two hundred, and there were quite a lot of games ten years ago, but these people are either outdated and out of date, or they have changed careers to make online games, and the whole industry is like this." Xu Changlong explained.

In 2003, Lao Xu himself left Heluo Studio and changed careers to make online games.

At that time, it was the whole industry.

In 2001, when the target software of "Three Kingdoms" was made, in 2003, he gave up the development of "Three Kingdoms 2" and changed his career to online games.

Some of the main developers left in anger and formed Pixel Software.

However, the "Sword Sealing Demon Record" they worked so hard to make only sold 70,000 copies, and in desperation, they stopped fighting and switched to online games.

There is also Yuquan International, which was acquired by Perfect International, and has been consuming technology accumulation in the ocean of online games since then.

As for the former king Xishanju, people have transformed faster than anyone else, and they caught the express train of the online game era early, and now they are already a big man in domestic online games.

The last stand-alone game should be Shencheng Softstar's "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" series.

"Fairy Sword" and "Xuanyuan Sword" are known as Daewoo Double Swords, both of which are owned by Daewoo over there, and Shencheng Soft Star is Daewoo's subsidiary in the mainland.

Daewoo is more interesting, they also changed careers to do online games, but they have been failing.

Daewoo, which failed to become an online game, was once in a predicament, but the seeds that were sprinkled on the mainland unexpectedly sprouted, and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III" sold 60 million sales, saving Daewoo from his urgent need.

But because Daewoo's senior management firmly believed that he could get back a city in online games, and because the establishment of Shencheng Soft Star was against Daewoo's will, Daewoo siphoned out most of the funds and only left six million to Shangsoft.

Six million is enough for what?

After Shencheng Soft Star produced the best stand-alone game in China in 2003, "Sword and Fairy III", the development funds received were not even enough to pay bonuses.

In order to develop "Sword and Fairy IV", Shencheng Soft Star urgently developed "Sword and Fairy Three Questions", and only after recovering the funds by asking questions did they get enough funds for the development of "Sword and Fairy IV".

At this time, in fact, the main force of Shencheng Soft Star has understood that he is not a popular existence with Daewoo, there is an NPC in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy IV", she does not have any side quests, no rewards, but there is a separate cutscene, she is a daughter-in-law, she was harassed by her mother-in-law, and gave her a penny to buy a banquet.

The implications speak for themselves.

This is probably the private goods of game developers.

Sure enough, by the time "Sword and Fairy IV" was released, Daewoo repeated its old tricks and once again siphoned up Shangsoft's funds to develop online games.

In 2007, Shencheng Soft Star was disbanded, and the domestic stand-alone machine swallowed its last breath uncomfortably.

The stand-alone game in China has come to an end.
