Chapter 291: What the Blue Fish Network is going to come up with

The project of the herring network has always been very focused on various editors.? With {dream} small ◢.1a

Don't think that editors are a hassle for programs, on the contrary, it's a one-and-done solution for them, and they can't ask for it.

In addition to convenient regulation and control, there is also a big reason to increase the productivity of the program, in fact, like those various system values and table adjustments, after the program develops things, in addition to the optimization and maintenance of functions, it is not necessary to care, and the specific editor is used to produce the content in the game, which is handed over to the planner and specialized people to do.

For example, the story editor does not need them to adjust the characters' movements, play special effects, character dialogue, trigger events, and camera movements according to the given script...... Particularly comfortable.

Professional things should be handed over to professional people to do, at least relatively professional.

Seeking truth from facts, in terms of programmer art aesthetics, in most cases, there is a gap between itself and the art and copywriting planning of herring.

At the beginning of June, Ye Shenxi returned to Funan from the capital, while Xia Qingyu went directly to Seattle.

Last year's GS was directly handed over to the product department of Huangpu, which was very reassuring, and the final effect was also good, and it was a big limelight. However, this year's E American branch does not have the same strong talent accumulation as Huangpu, so she has to personally lead the team and take people to Los Angeles, USA, and begin to arrange the venue in advance and make an exhibition plan.

This time, the organizers gave the herring fish network a relatively high position, which is more affordable for the new company's current position in the global game industry, according to the booth number and venue size, it is almost in the top 20 position, sandwiched between the British Eidos and Japan's Dark Glory KOEI.

These two companies were founded in 1990 and 1978 respectively, and the two years of Qingyu Network shows that the game world is changing with each passing day.

Before this E exhibition, there will also be three first-party manufacturers, Soni, Ju Hard and Ren Jile will hold a pre-conference press conference, which has nothing to do with the herring network, that is, the PS version of "Survival" will be announced at Soni's press conference, which can be regarded as contributing to its momentum.

Soni also invited Ye Shenxi to attend the press conference, but Lao Ye declined and asked him to go to the press conference to talk about an old game of fried cold rice (in fact, it is not very old...... It is true that I can't pull my face, and there is a deviation from my own requirements.

The game has already been delivered, uploaded to PSN but not yet available for download to players, and Soni has pressed 250,000 discs that have been piled up in warehouses in North America, Europe and Japan, and are now being shipped to retail stores around the world, as well as the warehouses of Flax and eBay.

At the end of their press conference, the PS version of the game, which has been released for almost a year, will be released at the same time.

Of course, it integrates the three paid DL that have been updated since August last year, as well as some bonuses exclusive to the PS platform. The combined price of these three DLs in Europe, the United States and Japan is 24 US dollars, which is rich in content and not expensive, which can be described as a conscience.

This can be seen from the game's current rating on FG.

Normally, there will be a diving slide in the rating after a free paid DL, mainly from the dissatisfaction of old players. And "Survival" did stabilize at about 8.4 points after it was initially launched, and the rating of the first paid DL "Survival: Coastline" at the end of last year quickly dropped to 7.9 after the update, and then slowly rebounded, and the two DLs in February and April respectively did not decline in ratings, and still maintained stable growth.

It is now almost back to the previous level of 8.4 points.

Players are still honest and honest.,Sales can't deceive people.,This paid DL currently has a total global sales of 1.2 million sets.,This data was not announced by the herring network.,But of course it was told to Soni.,And then they urged more urgently...... Within SEI, they expect sales of the PS version to be between 800,000 and 1.4 million, and if the sales meet expectations, they will also consider asking the Qingyu Network to continue porting PSP and the new handheld PSP GO version that will be launched at this E.

……

Rao Bin was configuring a plot, according to the script sent back by Ye Shenxi, when he turned around and saw the boss standing behind him, he reacted in shock, and his body trembled: "Eh, Mr. Ye, you are back." ”

"Am I so scary? Are you lazy? ”

"No, it's weird even if Chen Xiaofan is standing behind him coldly......"

"How's it going?"

"Out of a total of 7 shots, 28 have been completed." Rao Bin said proudly.

"Yes, give me more time to edit."

"Mr. Ye, you have gone to the Film and Television Academy for further study, the highest university for Chinese films, you can easily cut out a touching and shocking trailer."

"This sycophant is of average quality." Ye Shenxi turned around and didn't continue to watch, turned around to find Shan Jie, Tan Xun and Lu Liang, their respective groups all had arduous tasks in this E.

In the film and television academy, the filming team is still in a hurry, but E is also more important, he can only come back first, and then he will go to the Los Angeles Convention Center in the United States to participate, and then the graduation screening will also begin, so he can only ask for leave again.

On the forum, Weibo, these social media, "Qingyu Network E new project announced" such keywords quickly swiped the screen, players have speculated about the type of the so-called new project, the theme and even the landing platform, the development cost, the possible cooperation of the publishing company and the distribution region...... Some of the angles are tricky.

Players have never looked forward to a more E-start than this year.

Relatively speaking, the capital E time and space that went together was a bit of a feeling of wanting to cry without tears.

Why did everyone go together, why is there such a big difference in the degree of attention?

As the time of the exhibition approaches, the domestic game media with a little influence has set up a "E Exhibition Topic" page, the theme is basically "Qingyu Network Expedition", and there is also a unique Slogan "H1N1 Swine Flu under the clouds", but the exhibitors will also rank the Qingyu Network in the first place...... Then there are several well-known manufacturers, EA Yubi Soni giant hard, and then to E time and space...... The company's logo and name are also ranked on the front page, and the position is quite conspicuous, but they are all their own people, so they can't be accommodating in front of several foreign manufacturers.

Several powerful media representatives, "Video Game", "Demon Mountain", "Duo Game" and "Tenghua Game" will also send a press team to the Los Angeles Convention and Exhibition Center in the United States to track and report on the grand occasion of the exhibition within three days, and make an appointment in advance for an exclusive interview with Ye Shenxi and Xia Qingyu of Qingyu Network.

This year's E-Show is also a year that the organizer ESA has learned its lesson and reopened to players after two downsizing from '07 and '08.

Born in 1995, E has always paid less attention to players and entertainment, and is more professional and provides business communication for qualified manufacturers and media to discuss the development of the industry. In 2006, the scale of E reached a peak, that is, 60,000 participants, and the other three major game exhibitions in the world, Cologne, Japan's TGS, and China's GS all had more than 200,000 visitors.

Of course, this does not prevent it from remaining number one in the world.

After the peak of 06, 07,08 for two consecutive years, many participating game companies complained to the organizers, saying that the exhibition cost was too huge, there were too many distractions on the field, and the attention was not as high as imagined...... Balabala, and then ESA resigned itself to a major change in the format of the exhibition, changing the system of invitation and emotion to a pure invitation system, and intended to focus on the media and business fields.

In the past two years, the exhibition has moved to Santa Monica, inviting elites, and the size of the booth is limited to no more than 6 square meters.

And then...... The number of visitors is around 5,000......

After two years of continuous small-scale exhibitions, the manufacturers who had complained about it felt wrong again, and in direct proportion to the significant reduction in costs, the enthusiasm and wide attention generated by the grand exhibition also decreased, and the effect was far less than before the downsizing...... Even with E, the influence of the world's largest game show has also decreased.

So they complained to the ESA again, and the ESA said okay...... And then this year, it was expanded again, what a sloppy organizer.

In addition to the free tickets issued to exhibitors and media and business people, the price of tickets sold by ordinary players and tourists is as high as 998 US dollars (about 6200 yuan), although it is a three-day pass, but it is still expensive.

And just such an expensive ticket can only visit the exhibition, and can not enter the giant hard, Soni and Nintendo their press conference.

Like last year's China GS, single-day tickets were 50 on weekdays and 80 on weekends; TGS Tokyo Game Show atmosphere is 1000 yen/1200 yen, which is about 80-100 yuan; Cologne is 10-15 euros, which is also between 100 and 150 yuan; GStar in South Korea is the cheapest and affordable enough, with adult tickets and youth tickets being 4,000/2,000 won respectively, which is more than 10 or 20 yuan.

In contrast, whether it is E or not is simply the rhythm of heaven.

However, it is not that the organizers are sincere about black money, their concept is to target professional players, high-end users, and industry insiders...... Tickets are a kind of threshold for screening visitors, at least that's what the organizers say.

Most people can only feel the atmosphere of the world's No. 1 game show and the exciting content of various manufacturers through media reports.

……

After a short meeting with Shan Jie, Tan Xun and Lu Liang, Ye Shenxi determined the research and development progress of the updated content of "The Origin of All Things" to be exhibited on E.

The most exciting content of "The Origin of Everything" is not the update of the game content itself, these contents are mainly some optimizations, such as loading speed, visual range, and some improvements in the handling of the operation. Moreover, the gameplay is ...... In fact, through the API that is open to players, they can make all kinds of strange things themselves, whatever they want.

But what is going to be announced at E this time, it does have a huge impact on the game.

About the Developer Monetization Plan.

The first is that the herring network has reached cooperation with three server providers in North America, Europe and Japan, Chinese mainland not to mention, this is the base camp of the herring network...... In these regions, the official server rental feature will be made available to players.

At present, there are many players who rent and open servers at their own expense, adding various mods with different functions and gameplay according to their preferences, some need to sponsor and charge, and there are also free public service services, accumulating a lot of players and contributing to the active game.

After the implementation of this plan, these players can directly rent servers through the official herring network.

First of all, of course, to ensure the quality of the server, it will be more stable and more secure than the player's own rental. Moreover, the price is even cheaper. In terms of the price of the server, the Qingyu Network has actually made a certain profit, which is also their feedback to the players.

Origin of Everything is not a free-to-play game, and you don't need to rent a server to make money.

This is naturally good news for players.

Then, the herring network will allow mod developers to upload their own MOD, set up the function of paid download, the specific price of the blue fish network will be based on the complexity of the module, the difficulty of development will be suggested, but it will not be mandatory, but some upper limits on the system will be set, and the price will not be allowed to break through common sense.

These developers are currently providing the mods they have worked so hard to make for free, and they can only get psychological satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment through player reviews and the number of apps downloaded. It's not a political fight.

The company hopes that they also have a way to make a profit, and the company's philosophy has always been that any labor effort, as long as it is meaningful, should have a corresponding harvest for the effort.

Just like when they started out with this FG platform, indie game developers can sell their games on the platform, instead of just posting them on forums for free download, as was the case before.

There are already indie developers making money on the FG platform, so why can't MOD development?

It's not just the MOD.,The follow-up platform will also open some buildings.,Maps.,Skins for these artistic creations.,Of course, the price won't be too high.,It may take a lot of downloaders to reach an objective number.,But it's a world of difference compared to before.。

"The Origin of Everything" is only the first attempt, based on the popularity of this game and the number of players, it is also a clear indication of the company's attitude towards the game ecology. This ecosystem is made up of players, game developers, agencies, retailers, as well as modders and server owners who have given this game a look, all of whom are part of this ecosystem and are working together to build an active game.

Ye Shenxi hopes that if this model is feasible in practice and after accumulating relevant experience, it can also be promoted on all games on the FG platform that have opened innovation factories in the future.

I always want to bring everyone rich......

……

And "Eternal War" will reveal new heroes, new items, and new map details...... Of course, these are routines.

On E, the Blue Fish Network will announce the creation of an international "Eternal War" event, where players from various countries and regions can gather together to fight for the same championship and compete for the highest honor in the world.

It's not a war at club level, it's the 'Eternal War World Cup'.

Xia Qingyu is actively operating in South America, Southeast Asia and other territories that this game has not yet covered, and then will invite each country to screen the most popular and powerful players in their own countries to form a national team to bring the world's highest-level events to the world's "Eternal War" fans, players and spectators around the world.

The reason why the highest level of Eternal War is defined as inter-country rather than club level is that at the national level, all spectators will feel more immersed and engaged, cheering and cheering for their country's team.

Each club has its own fans, but the players' affection for the club cannot transcend the country.

With the current popularity and number of players in the world, Eternal War should be enough to support this kind of National World Cup competition by the end of this year.

There may be some differences between the national team and the national team in a real traditional sport, and it may not necessarily be supported at the national government level. But as long as the influence of this game continues to expand and more mainstream society pays attention, Xia Qingyu feels that he can see that day.

These are all things that the herring network will come up with at this E.
