Chapter 509: Excited Yue Uehara
It's not uncommon for Japanese people to sell games abroad.
In fact, there has been a long period of competition between Japanese games and European and American games, and sometimes the east wind overwhelms the west wind, and sometimes the west wind overwhelms the east wind. For a long time, Japanese games have become more popular than most people think.
In this case, it's not unusual to sell a game globally.
But in the case of G Company, it is the first time that a game has been sold to the world. For anything that is in the limelight, Miss Uehara is quite positive.
What's more, this is still an online game.
It must be said that although Japanese online games are low-key, they are not nothing, but they are not as strong as other places, and the players are mainly Japanese. It's not that they don't want to sell, of course, it's that they can't.
Occasionally, some of them are sold, but they are also lost.
Therefore, Miss Uehara is very much looking forward to whether "Holy Grail War" can successfully enter the international market.
"Now there's a problem, Holy Grail War is a fan-oriented work, and you even advertise it as a fangame. Whether such a game can be sold in other countries is a serious problem. ”
As a rare OEM producer in Japan, Hosoi still attaches great importance to the "money scene" of his works.
"It shouldn't be a problem." Hao Ping smiled awkwardly.
In fact, selling MOBA games to other countries has a better future than staying in Japan. You must know that whether it is DOTA or LOL, MOBA competitive games are very popular in the international market.
Hao Ping was less skeptical about his future.
"The game has been made, and the rest of the cost is only the publicity layout and translation, and the cost is not high...... What's more, the game only has one map, and the workload is not large. ”
Tomoe Uehara thought about it very carefully.
"In this way, even if it fails, it is only a small injury. If it does, the benefits are big enough. ”
She finally decided: "We can afford to gamble." ”
Hosoi and Hao Ping both agree with this statement, with the current situation of the game, even if it is sold to Europe and the United States, the increased cost may not be as high as the cost of modeling, and the cost of renting a server "based in the United States of America" is not much higher.
In contrast, looking at the market of hundreds of millions of people in Europe, it can be said that the risks are extremely small and the benefits are huge.
In fact, both of them know that the final result must be agreed. It's just that to make this decision, the details will be discussed again.
"I think the Chinese market can also be considered."
Yue Uehara hadn't thought about selling it before, and her heart was still quiet. But now that the Swiss have aroused their minds, they are naturally tempted by the hundreds of millions of Internet users in China, which is close at hand.
"Hao Pingjun ......"
Hao Ping scratched his face in embarrassment, "Let's talk about it, talk about it again." ”
"That's right......" Hosoi also advised, "The situation in China should also be cautious, as far as I know, many Japanese game companies have failed in China......"
"Ahem......"
Hao Ping was even more embarrassed here, and said in his heart that those Japanese games can't be considered a failure in China, who called you a stand-alone game? Not to mention Japan's stand-alone games, even the domestic ones have been pitted to death, and now they are dying hard.
However, in contrast...... "Holy Grail War" is in China, and it may not be good.
Because it's an online game.
Chinese game lovers belong to the development of single-player games, and in the end they reap the consequences, and are so crooked by online games that a little sympathy can be called conscience......
Online...... It's so good for the Chinese market.
"Let's not talk about this topic for a while, let's test the waters with Europe first." "If the European market can pick up, it's not too late to try other places." ”
Yue Uehara is going to roll up her sleeves and start drying, full of energy.
Hosoi's mood was also a little agitated: "In that case, I'll go and optimize the game again." ”
"What I said is that since you want to sell it, you can't set up a grass platform team like before." When talking about business layout, Yue Uehara can still be sober, but once she decides to do it, she starts to get excited. "I think we can tear down and redo it, I think the map needs to be a little bigger, the characters can be redone, and the perspective doesn't have to be locked...... How about adding the production level to the picture level of a 3A stand-alone machine? ”
"......" Hao Ping began to break out in a cold sweat.
"But in that case, isn't it all pushed to the redo?" Hosoi said: "In this case, the energy will be greater, and the cost will be many times higher......
- You're really thinking about this possibility.
"Wait, wait...... It's not a game at all! "Hao Ping hurriedly stopped, and let these two continue to play like this, that can bring them to a downfall." What's the difference with re-making a game, and can we afford the level of a triple-A masterpiece? ”
Uehara Tomoe was embarrassed and said, "But in this case, wouldn't there be no advantage?" The picture is not good, and the competitiveness is not enough. ”
Hao Ping has a lot to say about this, "The important thing is not the picture, but the gameplay!" The image quality should be an additive, not a point. ”
"Yes...... Is it? Yue Uehara was skeptical, what do you think, the more realistic the game is, the more attractive the player is.
"Of course, a game with good graphics can attract players in the first place, but it is the gameplay that retains players." Hao Ping did not hesitate to start brainwashing, "There are so many games in the world that have better pictures than us, and people definitely don't look at them like pictures." ”
"Think about it...... There are so many games with better graphics than us, even if we send them, people may not be able to see them. In terms of marketing strategy, we are more special and more able to attract people's attention. There are so many triple-A masterpieces, but our game is unique. Don't forget, it's our gameplay that's at its core! ”
Of course, the above topics belong to Hao Ping's fooling people.
However, it is quite capable of bluffing people, because Hao Ping believes that this is true, and he has enough confidence: after all, the success of DOTA and LOL has proved that this kind of picture is enough. He was quite confident.
Although Tomoe Uehara and Hosoi Zhi felt that something was wrong, they had to calm down when they saw Hao Ping's serious appearance and considering the cost factor.
Shiya Hosoi said, "It's me who is different, and strictly speaking, I don't have that kind of modeling skills...... I'm a fan who makes home games.,I can't do that.。 Something impulsive. ”
"That'...... At least a little more optimization? Tomoe Uehara suggested.
"This can have ......"
Originally, as a fangame,The quality is a little lacking.,The texture accuracy is much worse.。 Since you want to go out, it must be beautifully packaged.
"I'll try to ......," Hosoi said, gritting his teeth, "even if we can't do it, I'll bring in a few more doujin clubs if necessary...... I really can't do it, so I ask for help from a business club, but the cost increases. ”
"So let's do it first." Hao Ping said first. "I'll bother you."
Then he turned his head and said to Yue Uehara, "Miss Uehara...... Don't stay this afternoon, go home and get some rest. ”
Hao Ping felt that Uehara Tomoe was a little excited, and even a little bit of a loss.
It's not surprising to say that this game of "Holy Grail War" actually didn't care about Uehara Tomoe before, but now it seems to have something to become an "international fan", which makes Uehara Tomoe a little surprised, and at the same time, it also makes the competitive young president's mind dance wildly.
At this time, it is best to let her calm down.
When Tomoe Uehara heard Hao Ping's words, she was stunned, "I'm sorry...... I'm a little excited. ”
"It's nothing, let's go and rest early." Hao Ping said.
It's not surprising that Yue Uehara will be excited, after all, a huge pie fell from the sky all of a sudden, and as a young person, it seems too old-fashioned not to be excited. However, noticing her gaffe under a one-sentence reminder is enough to prove that she is calm enough.
"When you're excited, it's easy to make the wrong decision."
Uehara Tomoe originally wanted to say that he could hold it, but when he heard this, he was silent for a long time and nodded, "Then I'll go back today and calm down...... What about you? ”
"Me?" Hao Ping said angrily, "Shouldn't I be here to watch the scene?" I see you're forgetting that we're in an event right now because of the game. Idol Master, Love Live, and doujin festivals are still being held. ”
"I'm sorry." Tomoe Uehara awkwardly apologized.
Hao Ping smiled: "This is very normal, after all, he is a capitalist, and it is normal to see that money cannot be moved." ”
Yue Uehara laughed dumbly.
The title of capitalist has now become a kind of ridicule between Hao Ping and her.
"Okay, capitalist Yue Uehara is going back to rest." Uehara Tomoe said, "Let's go, let's trouble Mr. Hao Ping, who is a proletarian, to work here." ”
With that, he drove home from the backstage with Hosoi.
