Chapter 183: Four Legs to Set the Tone for Future Development
"I believe that many people actually have similar memories as me. At that time, I liked to play games very much, and I don't know what it was like to be beaten, and many people should have this kind of memory. At that time, my dream was to make games. Later, when I grew up, the game industry also exploded, but the domestic game industry was relatively deformed, and it has not been developing very smoothly. ”
"But that's not what I want to talk about, what I'm trying to talk about is that I've always been, in fact, games as a kind of belief. Maybe you can't understand this feeling, but that's okay, people think the games I make are fun, and it's a kind of recognition and recognition for me. ”
"If you think about games as a very important thing, as a whole world, another world independent of our world, you will find a lot of wonderful things. There should be a lot of people who have played the game "Spore" that we made, and this game is that we have designed a very large world view for it, which is different from ordinary RPG games, and this world view has even expanded to a time scale of billions of years. ”
"I won't give you spoilers here, if you want to play, you can actually try out "Spore Education Edition", these resources can be found by everyone, completely free, and genuine. I'm not a man who makes any of your money. In this game, I have a wide range of connections between humans, the universe, creatures, and cyborg creatures to form a self-contained world. The education version was jointly developed by us and Jinghua University some time ago, and they fixed some common sense bugs in the game. ”
"I remember that Principal Gu praised me at that time, did everyone see the smug expression on my face? Hahaha,I'm not from a physics study of the universe.,I know a little bit of lost knowledge.,Almost all of it is in this game.。 Of course, before making a game, I should ask some professors in this area to teach me this. But as you know, my reputation in the industry is actually not very good, even this time I cooperated with Jinghua University to make "Spore Education Edition", and many people still pointed fingers at me. ”
"This makes me feel a little aggrieved. But it also strengthened some of my thoughts, what I am trying to do and seriously, is being stigmatized; What I want to do now is not just to make a few good games, but to remove the stigma and demonization of the reputation. In our country, games have always been demonized, and we can empathize with how many beatings we were beaten as children. ”
"No one wants their beliefs to be treated as garbage, as electronic opium, and they don't want to be ...... by society when they play games Well...... No, I was severely beaten by my parents; When you're in the game industry, you're treated with colored glasses, right? ”
"Do you know some of the things I've been working on lately? Personally, I think the most important thing is, of course, to continue making games, and that won't change. ”
"The second is to do games and e-sports. This point is widely connected with the live broadcast, and Brother Guo Yu said it on stage just now, so I won't go into details. As you know, domestic e-sports events have not been able to do well, and this year we have made some attempts, such as the Happy Cup Three Kingdoms Campus League, and some online events, which have made a little fuss. I can show you a statistic, in this year's Three Kingdoms Killing Campus League, we distributed a total of nearly 7 million, and many college students actually made a little money. ”
"In the next few years, you've actually heard that I'm going to do a series of esports events about Dota. Everyone has played this game before, right? I know that this game is very competitive, balanced and enjoyable, and it is more suitable for e-sports than Three Kingdoms. In the next few years, we will hold a series of professional leagues with Dota as the core, which will make our e-sports career in China work hard. Within three years, we will continue to invest 300 million in this event! Of course, this money is not only used as a bonus, but also a lot of money to be invested in the operation of the event, the infrastructure, to cultivate a series of professional game e-sports teams. ”
"As for the third one, it's about unity. There should be some practitioners in the game industry here, and it is actually a very painful thing for small companies and small teams to build game engines. Before that, when I held a new product conference, I said that Unity, an open game engine, has been used internally in our company, and I think it's pretty good. It will be released to the public at the beginning of next year. The price is like I said before, small teams of less than 20 people, completely free, with technical documentation, not closed, open source. For small teams of less than 50 people, you can use the team version, which is very cheap; Corporate users, also not expensive. ”
"My purpose is actually very simple, that is, I hope to have more small teams, so that when making games, I don't have to be so entangled, I don't have to reinvent the wheel, and I put my time, energy, and money on the core gameplay of the game. My personal ability is limited, and I also hope that Huaxia's game can become bigger and stronger, and only when more people are engaged in this industry will it develop more vigorously. When the number of people working in the game industry reaches 1 million, 3 million, or even 5 million, I think there will be enough social influence to remove the ingrained demonization of games. ”
"And the fourth point, I told these people in the game industry from the bottom of my heart. Many people know that the MYTH operating system that our company is developing is a mobile operating system. In the future, the mobile Internet will become a trend, and you may not be able to understand the upcoming era at this node, and you still think that on this small screen, making games is even worse than web games. But in my personal opinion, mobile phones have the characteristics of portability, fragmentation, and there is a lot of room for imagination, if you agree with me, maybe you can think about how to make games on mobile phones after you go back, and what is the difference between terminal games, web games, and console games. Of course, these are just my words. ”
"Finally, let's talk about the game itself. Like I said before, how do you make a good game? I think technology will always improve, but content is the essence of games. Only when the content of the game is done well, will it be liked by players. This content includes many aspects, including gameplay, plot, values, and so on. Many impetuous practitioners think that after having a skeleton, they can change the way to make money by changing a new game. And now more game producers are thinking even more strangely, thinking about how to understand the psychology of players, how to hollow out the last penny from players. ”
"This kind of game producer is really speechless. When the game is fun enough, players vote with their feet and wallets. A game is not fun, no matter how much you try to understand the psychology, the player will not gain happiness, but only unhappiness, anger, loss, and regret. This experience, I think, is the real electronic opium. ”
"I'm done, thank you for listening to me talk about it for so long, thank you again!"
