Chapter 175: The current development of the company and the game being played

"Putting aside the joy network, it is the industry of Wan Binglin Wan's boss, I just cooperate deeply with him and cross-sharehold. But the main thing is that they are doing their own operational activities. My company, the studio, has a total of four main businesses, namely games, live streaming, game engines, and mobile operating systems. The latter two may not have been heard of by most people, but there are some fame in the industry. ”

"What the public can access is the two businesses of games and live broadcasts, and everyone plays games and watches live broadcasts. The game came out very early and was the first thing I did. I have achieved some decent results, so I won't repeat them; Live streaming is a new thing, and after we made it, it was only half a year now; Now there are several companies in China that have started to do live broadcast business, and I know of Feiliu Creative Entertainment and Crooked companies. I've always thought that live streaming can be highly relevant to the gaming industry, but there are a lot of other things that can be done. For example, if you wanted to watch e-sports competitions before, you had to watch live TV, but there has always been no such condition in China, and there has been no broadcast of these events. A lot of the time we can only watch recordings, online videos. Live broadcast can solve this problem very well, and now many players like to open the game when they also open the live broadcast, either live broadcast their own games to others, or watch other people's live broadcasts, which can open up the communication between players and players. ”

"We will do a series of game events in the future, and we are already doing offline matches for the Three Kingdoms Killing, and we may do online matches in the future, and we will also use live broadcasts to show everyone on Peacock Live; There is also dota, which is very competitive and enjoyable for this game, and it is much better than the Three Kingdoms Kill. We have already made an announcement on the official website that Dota's professional league will officially launch early next year, and registration is now open. ”

"As for Unity as a game engine and the Myth operating system, I'm personally betting on the direction of future games. As we all know, the vast majority of games nowadays are on PC and consoles. But I think when smart mobile devices come along, everything will change in that direction. Don't look at the decline of browser games now, terminal games seem to have the momentum of dominating the world; But change often happens overnight, and earlier this year, IBAL launched their operating system, and as far as I know, Googo is also working on its own open source operating system. The myth operating system we made is also a mobile operating system, and now it has reached a level close to commercial use, and a mobile phone manufacturer will launch a mobile phone with the myth operating system at the beginning of next year, which you can look forward to. ”

"As for Unity, on the one hand, it is a game engine, an engine that aggregates the basic code needed in the production process of various games, which is convenient for the majority of game industry practitioners and does not need to reinvent the wheel. It's like a physics collision engine, as long as you use our unity engine, you don't have to rewrite these related codes, you can just use them. On the other hand, in order to cope with the upcoming era of mobile Internet, we have made a special packaging system, using Unity to directly package the game into a package suitable for various environments, and at present, it can be adapted to terminal games, web games and our myth operating system, and in the future, we will try our best to connect with various host manufacturers and IBAL operating systems, and can generate packages with one click. ”

"Actually, I have said a lot, what I really want to say is that most of this work is actually around the game industry, and Peacock Live was originally for game live broadcast; Unity is convenient and fast to make games; Myth is one of the directions I personally think the future of gaming is headed. Therefore, in the end, our company actually settled in the game, which is the core and will not change. ”

After speaking, Liu Neng sighed, "I said this, you probably understand?" ”

Huang Huizhong tilted his head, "I probably understand, but don't worry, I have recorded it all, and I will proofread it carefully." When the manuscript is completed, it will be sent to you to read, so it's okay, right? ”

“no problem.” Liu Neng said, "What else do you want to ask?" For example, what are my future game plans? ”

Huang sighed, "You said everything I wanted to say, it's not fun." So let's talk about the question, I've heard before, you're going to make an expansion for Spore, what kind of game is it? ”

"Strictly speaking, there will be three more games in the Spore series, one of which is an expansion, and the other two are completely different from the current Spore and have different gameplay. But the world view will be the same, one of them is called "Dark Spore", which is an RTS game, and the other is called "Spore Origin", which is an MMORPG game. However, neither game has yet to start construction, and the only thing that has really started to work is the expansion pack for Spore. The specific release time is not unlawful. According to my personal thoughts, there should be two models launched next year, and the other one may be the year after, but I'm not sure anyway. ”

"If these games haven't been made, as far as I know, there are several game studios under Mr. Liu's now, what games are they working on?"

"The tasks of each studio are different, but there are things to do. Let me count, Black Duck is a browser game, and they have recently been working on a new SLG game, which is currently a web game version; Daystar just finished the Spore Education Edition some time ago, and is now working on the expansion film; Dongfang Xianxia is working on a stand-alone version of "Swordsman Love", which is expected to be released in the first quarter of next year; Fenghua is optimizing the Dota IMBA version, as well as doing community maintenance and preparation for professional matches; It seems that the Three Kingdoms of Mexico have nothing to do now, and they are doing the expansion pack of "Three Kingdoms"? Looks like they're going to find something to do for them. As for myself, I've been working on a single-player mini-game lately. ”

Huang Huizhong's eyes lit up, "Small game, is it a small game of the size of "Don't Step on the White Block"?" What exactly is the game, and can you tell us a little bit about it? ”

Obviously, Huang is more interested in the game that Liu Neng made himself.

"About the same size, a little bigger. Just now I didn't say that at the beginning of next year, the myth system will be on a domestic smartphone, and then the game will be built into the game system for everyone to experience. It's all free, and the name of the game is "Snake Adventure". ”

"Snakes?" Huang Huizhong was stunned for a moment, it really didn't take the usual path, this game is indeed a well-known game, and it can almost be compared to Tetris in its antiquity. But what is new about that kind of block game?

In fact, it's no wonder that Huang can't think of it, after all, if they haven't used a smart phone, they can't imagine how it operates, they just think about it, use the up, down, left, right keys to control the operation......
