Chapter 146: Plans for the follow-up expansion of the game Spore
"As we all know, our current company structure is not just a game studio, in addition to the main business of games, we also have live streaming software, game engines, etc. Therefore, the future development of the company is naturally closely related to these. ”
"Actually, we are a forum in the game industry, and we want to know more about the prospects and plans for the development of your company's games......" Huang Anmin saw that he was pulling away again, and hurriedly pulled him back.
"Game ...... Of course, games are our main business. ”
"Oh? Why do you want to call games your main business? ”
"Isn't that nonsense? Games are the most profitable, and 99% of my current money is earned from games, so of course games are the main business. ”
Huang Anmin was very helpless, and continued to ask, "Let's continue to talk about the topic just now, can Mr. Liu introduce to us about the prospects and plans of your company's games?" ”
"In our current company or game studio, the games that are being operated mainly include the Three Kingdoms Kill OL and Spore, which is also one of our priorities in the future. In fact, these have already been said when we opened the new game press conference, and the Three Kingdoms Killing will continue to be updated in the next few years. ”
Huang Anmin obviously did his homework, "Do you mean the re-coming version of these myths of wind, fire, forest, mountains and thunder?" ”
Liu Neng smiled, "You also play?" ”
Huang Anmin nodded, "I can play a little, I admire Mr. Liu very much." ”
"The front is worthy of admiration."
"What about the spores? Will there be an expansion pack? According to the general idea of stand-alone games, this mode will be adopted...... "Huang Anmin said.
Liu Neng said, "Yes, not exactly. We will continue to look at this IP, and there will be two related expansions, but the gameplay is not exactly the same. These are all in my conception, a tentative name "Galaxy Adventure", the background is still set in the universe, it will be more refined; The name of the other film, tentatively "Dark Spore". In addition, we will also release an online game, MMORPG. ”
“mmo?” Huang Anmin was a little dazed, "Now there are rumors on the Internet that your company is now developing an MMO, is it the game you are talking about?" ”
"Of course not, what we are developing now is a national style game, martial arts MMO."
Huang Anmin was even more puzzled, "The martial arts MMO developed now? This is something that everyone doesn't know for the time being, but it's good news, at least we know the genre and the type of game. But what did Mr. Liu just say, what about the MMO created with the IP of "Spore"? ”
Brother Neng laughed out loud and touched his head a little embarrassed, "That game? It's just that I'll talk about it casually, there is no official project yet, and even the game project PPT is okay. ”
Huang Anmin was immediately disappointed, "You say this...... There's no need...... But I'm personally more interested, what is the specific type of MMO, is it very innovative? After all, Spore is not the same as ordinary RPGs......"
"I haven't thought about all of this, but we've already thought about the specific story background, which is to decipher some of the stories of grox, let's temporarily position the name of the game as "Spore: Origin", well, this name is great, I really admire myself."
Huang was speechless for a moment, adjusted his mood and continued to ask, "This kind of shadowless thing doesn't need to be poked outside for the time being, so has the expansion film of the spore already been established?" ”
"No, not at all. But you're right, it's time to do it, and you can't let them sit idle. After all, the wages I give them are so high, it's not okay to keep idlers. ”
"What I just said, a martial arts mmo game, what exactly is it and what IP is used, is it a novel by Jin Daxia?"
"No, it's a completely original story, but I love it." Liu Nengdao is 10,000 satisfied with what Peng Shuang wrote. In fact, earlier, he thought about buying IP, especially Jin Daxia's novels, as the main plot line of the game, and creating a time-space background of martial arts games across multiple dynasties through a series of novels. "Of course, before that, before the launch of the MMO, we will first launch a stand-alone version, based on the same world view, but the story is different."
"In addition to these, I am personally more optimistic about another market, which is completely different from the current game market."
"Mr. Liu, we are a professional game media, and it is best to completely frame the content of the interview in the game, rather than diverging in particular."
Liu Neng glared at him, "I didn't diverge, I was talking about games." I would say that I'm more bullish on the mobile gaming space, which has a lot to offer in the future. ”
"Mobile gaming? Are you talking about mobile games? It seems that mobile games have a small share of the gaming market right now, and there is no possibility of any sudden rise. Huang Anmin said that he has been immersed in the game industry for a long time, and he has a lot of knowledge about this industry. As for whether it is profound, it is a matter of opinion.
"You can't see it, but I can see it, and that's what makes me different from you. In fact, domestic games have been pressed and beaten by foreign game manufacturers, which is something I can't get used to. In the last year or two, I have tried my best to do what I can to launch our games overseas, and have achieved a little success, but if you want to overtake the game industry as a whole, the future of mobile games is a good opportunity. ”
"The most recent mobile phone launched by Ibal has been bought well abroad, which is the opportunity for the sudden rise of mobile games."
Huang Anmin was puzzled, "Because of a mobile phone, mobile games can rise in an all-round way?" Some are unimaginable. ”
"Suddenly, of course, it's relative, and I personally think that mobile games will slowly but surely surpass the market share of traditional games in the next three to five years. Our group of studios will set up a dedicated mobile game studio to specialize in mobile games. Of course, this is only one direction of our future development, and in more directions, we will achieve more expansion. ”
"For example?"
"For example, game competitions, game live broadcasts, game film and television, etc., are all directions that we need to design and achieve." He was slightly excited, as if a rising gaming empire was beckoning to him.
"As a start-up, Mr. Liu seems to be particularly confident in the future of the game and his own development."
Liu Neng smiled, "I don't need to be confident, it's like my DotA game map is a hundred times more fun than the 3S map, which is not an exaggeration." I'll take this opportunity to announce when this map will be released, which will be next Monday, September 13th, for free, and permanently free of charge. ”
