"Can I ask Mr. Liu, what was the reason for the design of this game in the first place? What motivated you to make a game on mobile? Is it because of our operating system? ”

"Yes, not exactly. I don't know if you know, my company is also making an operating system on the mobile phone platform, called myth. Of course, you should understand, after all, Snake is only running on our Myth system now. We started our project to develop the Myth system, and the original idea originated from your IBOS system. It's just that we want to make an open source system, which may be different from your concept. Liu Nengdao.

He continued, "Of course, you should have your own considerations, probably based on security concerns and so on. And the snake, designed only for our myth system, that's all. As for COK, you're right, at the beginning of the design of this game, I wanted to open up multiple platforms, not only our myth system, but also ibos, web games, and maybe even we have a micro-terminal to unify several platforms. This game can be enjoyed by any player on any platform. ”

Curry exclaimed, "Although we are a relatively closed system, we are still very interested in Mr. Liu's idea. ”

"I have a few more questions to ask Mr. Liu, which is an important note about this cooperation: First of all, this game is not currently released on any channels, right? Including promotional messages, etc. ”

Liu Neng nodded, "No, if you have the need to start, I can change some of the original plans slightly." The other thing is that if you do want us to release the IBOS version of the game, I would like to sign a contract and pay me a certain fee......"

Curry and Abel were both stunned, and no one had ever mentioned payment after taking over IBAL's invitation - even if it was payment, it should be the partner who wanted IBAL to pay!

God knows, this cooperation is equivalent to what a big advertisement for the partner.

Liu Neng didn't seem to see the disbelieving expressions of the two people, and continued, "I hope you understand, we also have our own operating system. Theoretically, our own games should be released on our own systems, not in partnership with you. ”

Curry reacted, obviously not preparing the relevant meeting content in advance, and said slightly apologetically, "Although this matter is not a particularly big agenda, we need to have an official meeting to discuss it." I don't think this is unacceptable, but we will agree on a paid invitation amount, which should not disappoint Mr. Liu. ”

Liu Neng smiled, "Naturally, I also have a lot of goodwill for this cooperation. But you know, I always think that we are cooperating, and we don't know other companies, because we want to rub the popularity of the IBAL brand! ”

Curry smiled, "Mr. Liu's English is very good, which will be of great help to the press conference in the future." As young as you, I don't seem to have seen a better one. ”

"Mr. Ku Li has won the award!"

After discussing the next things a little, after finalizing the basic links, Liu Neng and Abel temporarily returned to the riot company, took a look at the current company's operation, and then returned to Abel's house.

On the way, Abel has been complaining about the cooperation with IBAL during the day, and he thinks that Liu Neng has some small concerns, and it is especially worth looking forward to being able to cooperate with IBAL, especially as a guest speaker at the IBOS3 press conference. However, it is very likely that this opportunity will be missed because of some practices just now.

"Abel, you have to understand that we didn't ask for cooperation with him, but the other party invited me. On the other hand, the new version of the IBOS system is clearly intended to evolve in the direction of entertainment. This meant that they needed to have a game that was very representative to support the scene. Do you think there is any other company that has made a mobile game that can compete with CoK? He was quite disagreeable with Abel's views.

Abel thought for a moment, "I admit you have a point. ”

"When I first joined the company, I saw that your event operation was indeed very rudimentary, was it just a lack of funds?"

"The lack of funding is naturally a very important thing, but the other point is that we lack the relevant talent. There is a lack of support for Dota competitions, and big game companies are reluctant to reinvest money and manpower in a new track. They prefer to do the Warcraft series of esports, as well as some gun game events. Another important point is that the ownership of Dota is not in their hands, which is an uncontrollable factor, and it is risky for them to invest money and manpower in an event that they cannot fully control. ”

"It's a real headache. But at the end of the day, it's really a lack of funds, I think. Liu Neng smiled, "It is undeniable that there are indeed many people who are very persistent and ethical; But the vast majority of people are actually chasing profits, especially since the United States is a commercial country, and this atmosphere is even more obvious. ”

"Maybe tomorrow, I can go to your company and have a look, I want to see what kind of game you're doing." When Liu Neng came last time, his company was actually not completely ready, there were only a dozen or so people in it, and in Huaxia, this scale, that is, the early stage of Daystar Studio, was like this, it was completely a small workshop.

Of course, it is undeniable that even if it is a small workshop, it is just made to play games. The point is, it seemed that everything had not started at that time, and everyone was meeting endlessly to decide on the theme and type of the new tour, but there was no one who could make up their minds.

Abel was a little embarrassed, "Actually, my company is almost dissolved. ”

Liu Neng was stunned for a moment, "What happened?" ”

"There are a lot of things, mainly because people don't quite agree on the idea of making games. My idea is to make a game that sells money first, and then think about expanding the recruitment. But Sandel insisted that if you want to make a game, you must make a big game, and you must make a triple-A game. As for the shortage of funds, it was not in his consideration. Personally, I need to care about the company's operation, and we don't have the money to do 3A masterpieces. I don't have the money to invest tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, and I don't have the money to ......."

Liu Neng smiled, "Let me guess, is it that Sandel who left again with some people, and now there are not many people in your company?" ”

"To be exact, it was just me and two other friends. They're working part-time, and we're working on a very small game right now, but if we keep doing it, I don't think it's going to be profitable...... This frustrates me! ”
