Chapter 118: A New Version Every Week
Not only the studios of Phoenix Games, but also Tenghua, as well as some other second- or third-tier studios involved in FPS, are all studying the mode of survival in the study. 126shu
This is not something that cannot be copied from the core, because there is no copyright at all in the theme of zombies, and they can use zombie infection Nebula games, and other game manufacturers can naturally use it, but there is an official theme protection period, and even if it is developed, they can't be launched as soon as possible.
But that's not critical, the most important thing is that they can copy these modes, and they can move them very easily, and they don't need to copy the map or anything, they only need to copy the most core gameplay mode.
This approach is also an unspoken rule of behavior in both domestic and foreign game circles, on the surface, it is a reference to gameplay creativity, but in the end, it is mainly a reference or what players and industry practitioners actually have a scale in their hearts.
In the major FPS game studios, when they were also preparing for the zombie mode, Yang Chen in Nebula Games was also busy developing new content for biochemical survival.
Hide-and-seek, also known as peek-a-boo, also features new skins and two new game maps.
At the same time, Nebulas Games has also conducted a recruitment in the industry, and there may not be a way to compare with the three major and some domestic second-tier and quasi-first-tier game manufacturers in terms of treatment.
But for game practitioners, the most attractive thing about Nebula games is the prospect, and several popular games in a row can be said to be the existence of today's Nebula games.
This time, Yang Chen not only recruited in the industry, but also recruited some fresh graduates, and basically maintained a rhythm of 55.
At present, Nebula Games has almost stabilized, and if nothing else, Biochemical Survival can serve as a financial cow for Nebula Games for a long time.
The talent pool in the studio is almost starting too.
Under Xu Yu's management, including the customer service department and the publicity department, it also ushered in a small-scale expansion.
"The previous zombie infection mode, as well as the zombie escape mode, needs to be adjusted and updated with the version." In the conference room, Yang Chen looked at Wang Ye and a group of other old people who were in charge of biochemical survival, and said to the new team members who had just joined in.
At the same time, open the PPT content made before on the projection screen.
Wang Ye and other old people who participated in the development of biochemical survival games have basically digested the concept of fast-paced updates and entertainment popularity that Yang Chen said.
But for newcomers who have just joined Nebula Games, they are really surprised.
And such an operation?
Newcomers who have just graduated from theory and practice and haven't experienced any real game project development are just surprised by this.
But some people who are involved in the game industry are surprised by Yang Chen's theory.
Generally speaking, this kind of multiplayer game, the version update and the launch of new content, are developed after a month or even longer, and then updated according to the progress of the current version.
Even in some RPG games, the explosion rate will be lowered, or the difficulty value of the dungeon will be increased, forcibly extending the version time.
As Yang Chen said, the version is updated once a week, and this kind of operation can be said to be almost non-existent in the game circle.
And this version is not a so-called minor change, similar to any skin props, but involves the release of maps, gameplay modes and new content.
"It's not realistic to have an update once a week and still want a full version, but I'm going to divide you into two working groups, so it can be understood as two weeks to submit a full new version, and I've also contacted two outsourcing companies that will work with you, and our team will only be responsible for the core content." Yang Chen opened his mouth and said.
Although this will increase the cost a lot, it is a very safe approach, if you really want to rely on your team to do it, unless you are stationed at the job for 12 hours a day, otherwise don't expect to be able to burst the liver.
In a simple meeting, Yang Chen talked about some of the follow-up updates of the main biochemical survival, and then assigned the work of the project team.
In the early two or three weeks of updates, Wang Ye will develop with the two teams they have just formed, which can be regarded as taking them on the road.
"It's too much! are copying our zombie infection mode, as well as the escape mode! ”
"In addition to the scene and model, there are also some background changes, this is simply our copy!"
After the meeting, Yang Chen had just walked out of the conference room when he heard Chen Shu and Zhang Li gathered together in the office next to him and was full of indignation.
"What's wrong?" Walking over, Yang Chen smiled and said.
"Mr. Yang, our game has been copied!" Chen Shu said hello, and then opened a few
Fireline 2 Promotional Video Announcement, Featured Gameplay: Doomsday Frenzy.
The new version of the war is grandly announced: zombies are coming!
Basically, it's the news of some upcoming FPS games, as well as the introduction of biochemical mode to established FPS games.
It's really too easy to copy this mode, and it doesn't even take much development time to modify the mod shape in the game at the most basic, and then increase the HP value of one of the factions, and it can be completed after fixing some bugs.
With a good development team, it doesn't take even a week to get this model online.
"What is to be expected, in fact, this model will not continue to be popular, even if there is no similar reference and diversion." Yang Chen smiled and shook his head and said.
He actually sees this very clearly, the zombie mode itself is a high level of entertainment, and it is difficult to compare with the adhesion of pure competition.
That's why Yang Chen has developed a drop-style update strategy, constantly developing new models and new content, so that players always feel fun.
"If they follow the model in Biochemical Survival, then they are estimated to be cold soon, and if they are greedy to sell kryptonite guns, it is estimated that it will be cooler faster." Yang Chen said with a smile.
Listening to Yang Chen's words, Chen Shu and the others were a little puzzled, and looked at Yang Chen with a confused expression.
Looking at the appearance of several people, Yang Chen couldn't help but show some smiles, there was nothing to be busy with for the time being, and there were some things that Yang Chen would have to tell Chen Shu and them later, so he simply went to the chair next to him and Yang Chen began to explain.
