Chapter 374 Alpha Company Developer Conference (1200 Monthly Pass Plus Update)
After the design draft of Auto Chess was finalized, it quickly entered the development stage.
On the Shimmer Studio's side, it is mainly planning the follow-up update content of "Star Tinder 2". Although it is a single-player game, it inevitably involves some gun balance adjustments, bug fixes, and other content.
What's more, "Star Tinder 2" has sold well, which can be said to be a great success, and naturally there will be follow-up DLC development plans, as well as linkage content with some other games, such as "Ink Cloud 2" and "Wolf".
The linkage between the games is to advertise each other, and both games have a sense of existence, so that the relatively solidified player groups can flow with each other.
As for Yunuo Technology and Torch Studio, they also have some miscellaneous things, and the development plans for new equipment and new games have to be slightly delayed.
It's mid-April, and the weather is getting warmer.
On this day, Jia Jia was still busy adjusting the value of "Auto Chess", and suddenly received a forwarded email, which looked like it was from Lao Xie.
"Alpha's 6th Worldwide Developers Conference?"
Jia Jia opened the email and saw that it was an invitation letter, written in Chinese and English, and Tianji Studio was specially invited to participate.
Lao Xie forwarded the email with a sentence at the same time: "You take the newcomers of the company to meet the world, and I won't go with my old arms and legs." ”
Since the success of "City Guard", Jia Jia has been able to take care of basically all aspects of the content in Tianji Studio, and several core designers under him have slowly grown up. In the past, Lao Xie had to check the progress of the project every once in a while, but now he basically doesn't need to.
Therefore, Lao Xie is becoming more and more Buddhist, and the team is already very mature, so naturally there is no need to work as hard as before.
If Lao Xie doesn't go, Jia Jia has to go.
He took a closer look at the Worldwide Developers Conference and found that it was really worth visiting.
The conference, known as WWDC for short, is now in its sixth year organized by Alpha. This conference is different from the press conference, which mainly focuses on some hardware, such as the Alpha bracelet, while the Worldwide Developers Conference mainly focuses on the software side.
At the annual Alpha Worldwide Developers Conference, Alpha unveils the latest systems and explains the features of the new system to the participating R&D companies in detail to guide their development efforts. These R&D companies mainly develop software and apps on bracelets, and games are the bulk of the software.
Alpha is also a veteran company, so this year is the sixth year of the conference. But every previous edition has been far less influential than this one, because the Alpha bracelet is so popular.
Since its release, the Alpha bracelet has set off a worldwide craze, and has successfully put Alpha on the altar. It's not just the hardware level that the Alpha bracelet has been a big success, the Alpha system is also rapidly expanding at the software level.
It is precisely because of this that the users of the Alpha system have been growing rapidly from some time ago until now. Many bracelet game companies seized this opportunity to transplant the game to the Alpha system platform to make a lot of money, and even many old game manufacturers felt red, which gave rise to the stalk of "EQS, a major mobile game manufacturer".
Obviously, this Alpha Global Developers Conference will be more popular than all previous developer conferences, and Alpha also sent an invitation to Tianji Studio, naturally because of the great success of "City Defenders".
Not long after the Alpha bracelet was launched, Tianji Studio's game was ported to the Alpha platform.
In particular, "City Defender", this game is also very popular in the West and has great influence around the world, which can be said to be a representative work of holographic projection mode bracelet games, which has attracted countless mobile game developers to imitate it. It was only natural for Tianji Studio to receive an invitation.
"Wei Yong, Xiao Li, come with me to District 1 next week for a meeting. If anything, the quota can be given to someone else. Jia Jia forwarded the invitation to the two people.
Xiao Li's name is Li Xin, and he is the current numerical designer of Tianji Studio. The values of the previous game were basically Jia Jia in charge and Li Xin was in charge, so they were also regarded by Lao Xie and Jia Jia as key training objects.
As for Wei Yong, he is still interning, but he can already be responsible for a lot of core work.
Speaking of which, Wei Yong was also deceived by Zhong Ming to come to Tianji Studio, and Jia Jia wanted to laugh when he talked about it.
Jia Jia didn't believe it after hearing that Wei Yong was cheated by "Wolf", and after "Wolf" was released, he went to play it himself, and then he sympathized with Wei Yong while doubting his life.
However, at first, although Wei Yong was quite reluctant to play bracelet games, after working for a while, he felt that it was quite interesting to make bracelet games, so he has been interning until now.
Bringing these two people to the developer conference to meet the world will also help you grow in the future.
Of course, it is said that it will help you grow in the future, and it will not help you much. Because this is the developer conference of Alpha company, the focus must be on the bracelet, even if there can be some communication activities, mainly for bracelet games, if you want to learn some of the top 3A game design concepts, that's too much.
However, Jia Jia and they didn't originally go to study, if they want to learn the top 3A game design concept, just take the elevator to Shimmer Studio to find Zhong Ming, don't have to go far.
This time, Jia Jia and they participated in the developer conference on behalf of Tianji Studio, and learning experience is secondary, mainly to expand the influence of some Tianji Studio, and by the way, to promote the new game a little.
……
At this time, in the mobile game company circle of Huaxia, there are also many people discussing the Alpha World Developer Conference.
"Our company has received an invitation to Alpha's developer conference! Unfortunately, there are only three places and I can't go......"
"Huh? Really? I haven't even heard of this at work, have I? ”
"There are not many game companies in Huaxia District invited this time, either they have very successful game products, or they have a certain influence in the world."
"What if you don't get invited, what do you want to go?"
"Go to the official website of the Alpha World Developers Conference and apply for it, show off your game, and it's hard to say if you can pass it. There will definitely be a whole bunch of companies to apply this year. ”
"Okay, I'll apply for it!"
The mobile game companies in Huaxia District were all happy when they received the invitation from Alpha, and those who didn't receive it hurriedly applied to the official website, for fear that they wouldn't be able to go.
As a mobile game company, especially some small and medium-sized mobile game companies, they must be eager to go to this conference. There will be some experience exchange of successful games, you can meet many excellent designers in the industry, and if you are lucky, you can even match with the senior management of Alpha, and when the time comes, Alpha will take care of the recommended position, and maybe the company can take off in an instant.
Moreover, this time it is not only game companies that have been invited, but also many software development companies and even some media. As long as it is related to the Alpha bracelet, there is a chance to participate.
