Chapter 377: Sandbox FPS
For the rest of this holiday, in fact, Ye Shenxi and Xia Qingyu were not as idle as expected...... Maybe this is not the right word, but it is just stepping back to the ground from the busy work cloud, which is more grounded and has a more pyrotechnic life.
They receive guests from afar, and now there are too many people who want to visit these two, and some of them are willing to receive and recognize, which can be regarded as friends.
For example, Ji Qinlin, such as Meng Xianmin, such as Zhou Xilin, and Ding Yicheng.
Hey, why did you run all the brains to Funan.
Ji Qinlin is a business negotiation and field trip. Inspect the venues of e-sports events in many cities across the country, cooperative sponsors, city atmosphere, fan base, etc.
In Xia Qingyu's initial e-sports development plan, the events of "Eternal War" will be offline matches with a home-and-away system, and in many respects will be on par with traditional sports events that have been operating for decades. It will be held in several major cities in the east, west, north and south of the country, and each city will have one or two of its own representative teams, so as to tap the urban market, in-depth cooperation with local enterprises in the city, regional commercialization, fan management and brand accumulation.
The popularity of "Eternal War" now, including the second World Cup, although it has not officially started, in the pre-game publicity and publicity activities, the high enthusiasm of players and fans has once again refreshed their own and the media's cognition, and many media have begun to speculate how much this year's World Cup prize pool will climb to a world-shocking height, surpassing last year is inevitable, and the suspense is how much it will be.
Ji Qinlin felt that he could start to enter the research and investigation stage.
If it was according to the previous plan, Xia Qingyu would feel the same way, but now the situation has changed, it is different, she told Ji Qinlin that she can wait a little longer.
Ji Qinlin asked with a blank face: "What are you waiting for?" Fish total. ”
There are several names that Xia Qingyu can hear, except for the fish, which a limited number of people can call, there are generally two names: Xia Zong and Yu Zong. The former is for business, and the latter is for fans and friends, so it will appear closer.
This is the case with Ji Qinlin.
Xia Qingyu said: "Wait for a new project, live video, I am talking about this thing, its role in the promotion of games and e-sports competitions is immeasurable. ”
“?” But they didn't know that it included an operating subsite called Titch.
"yes, that's it." There is nothing to hide from Ji Qinlin. "Maybe that will really make the event rise from the fan base to the national level, who knows."
Ji Qinlin is now obedient to these two people: "Okay, I'll take a look first." ”
Under the influence of Mr. Yu's Wen Taowu strategy, Ji Qinlin's ambition is not just an ME club.
Even sometimes in private, he himself will spontaneously have a sense of mission to create history, this rich second generation did treat the e-sports club as a toy when he first set foot in this field, but toys are also divided into casual play and good fun, although at that time he just wanted to do a good job in the ME club, but he also had a pure heart and the soul of the second second.
People are driving history, and history changes the people who participate in it.
If all goes well, perhaps by 2012 or 13, the mainland's "Eternal War" professional league will have a home-and-away offline system like traditional sporting events. This will be a milestone for the entire esports industry.
The herring fish network not only surpasses the traditional e-sports giants Glass Slag and Villefort in terms of the number of players, but also has obvious advantages in terms of event strategy.
……
Ding Yicheng ran over and pulled Ye Shenxi to talk about the specific R&D content for an afternoon, and the conversation was four or five hours, and the momentum was still high, which made Xia Qingyu want to go over and ask if it was my man or your man? There were fewer holidays, but as a result, a good part was taken up by others.
It was also before, Ding Yicheng always called from time to time, most of the time it was at night, and it was estimated that they would have a meeting themselves during the day, no matter what she and Ye Shenxi were trying to do.
In terms of stand-alone game development, Huang Yi has no experience before, if it is just to play casually, it is okay, or it is okay to explore the way to test the water, but their attitude is quite serious, and the goal is also ambitious.
Hongjun Studio's "Mountains and Seas War", this time it has been half a year since the project was established, and there are only a few PPTs to watch, and there is not even a demo that can feel the art style, unless you go to the art side and watch in front of their computer.
The producer took the team members to a meeting every once in a while, and the most overtime was actually art, anyway, there was nothing else to do, make your own model and make scenes to play, I guess I will use it in the future...... Even if you don't use this project, you can use it for the next one.
Twelve or thirteen special fox models were made, and when the time came, the plan said that they wanted a fox, and the artists planned to "pia" and send a screenshot of the catalog directly to Ya and say, "You can choose what you want." ”
When he said this, Ding Yicheng gushed and glanced at Ye Shenxi's deflated expression: "What's wrong?" ”
Ye Shenxi didn't speak, but his eyes were in place, let him experience it himself.
"Hey, first of all, you can't demand the efficiency of your company from other companies." Ding Yicheng was ashamed: "Second, this is our first stand-alone project after all, I have no experience, I'm afraid I will go crooked." ”
In fact, there is another point that Ding Yicheng did not say, if it is a template for reference, it is easier to do, Huang Yi before the rise of Qingyu Network, represents the strongest combat power in the field of independent research and development in China, such an enterprise, if you learn from others to engage in copycats, the ability is naturally there.
Shanzhai is a derogatory term, you can change it to many other words, borrowing, referencing, whatever you want, this is not the point, the point is to follow other people's successful projects, learn from their experience, and present a product that also contains the content of your own thinking.
At this time, Huang Yi was still in the midst of contradictions, and began to cringe a little to this side, they saw that some other manufacturers had succeeded through copycats, and the ratio of pay and gain was enviable. But I want to maintain a certain level of compulsion, increase my own things to differentiate myself to compete with opponents, that is when you come to "Dungeon Warriors", I come to "Slash", you come to "Sword Spirit", I come to "Dragon Sword", you come to "LOL", I "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms", you come to "Heavenly Sword" and I come to "Heavenly Oracle".
The reference target they are looking for now, which is a little more difficult, is "Getaway".
As early as when Hongjun Studio was just established, when Ding Yicheng called Ye Shenxi, Ye Shenxi once told him, "Don't be big", Ding Yicheng also thought so at the time. But as I said before, there are too many nodes in the development process of a project that can make it go back and forth and the overall idea will be skewed.
Let's say that the boss suddenly plays a certain game, and then makes the game your competitor.
Ding Sanshi played "Getaway", it's as simple as that.
Ding Yicheng's decision-making power within Huang Yi is not as good as Tenghua's Ren Yueqin, because Ding Sanshi plays games, while Huateng does not play.
Subsequently, the content that Hongjun Studio had discussed for a period of time was overturned, and the PPT was dragged into the recycle bin. Ding Yicheng also ran to Funan, hugged Pasca's thigh and said, "Help~~~" is coming.
It's good to have dreams...... Even if you don't make it, you will always accumulate experience.
"If you slander your company like this, your boss will be upset to hear it." Ye Shenxi snorted.
"That's not possible, I guess our boss is here, and he said the same, so I came to you, I finally caught you in the country, and when I have time, I plan to come over and squeeze you clean today."
It's too sensitive, and it's someone's exclusive prerogative.
Xia Qingyu was originally playing with bread dumplings outside, and walked into the reception room on the first floor quietly, and said to Ye Shenxi in a reproachful tone: "You usually live here alone and don't pay attention to cleaning, you call cleaning once a few days." ”
Ye Shenxi just wanted to answer, but Xia Qingyu didn't give him a chance to answer at all, and said directly: "The guest rooms are all dust, how can you entertain guests...... Alas, forget it, wait for tomorrow to call someone to clean it, it's too late today to clean up, it's past three o'clock in the afternoon, and it's going to be cleaned tomorrow. ”
Then she flashed out again, and closed the door by the way, and interjected in the middle of the process, without any mud and water, except for a gust of wind, both of them felt as if she hadn't poked in just now.
Ding Yicheng looked innocent: "I didn't say I wanted to live here with you today." ”
With his relationship with Ye Shenxi, in front of Xia Qingyu, he was also divided into the category of jokes, half-truths and half-false jokes.
Ye Shenxi still had to help Xia Qingyu deal with the aftermath, but it was his woman who didn't help her, so he directly changed the topic: "Look, I didn't accept your invitation to go to Huang Yi before, but it's still wise." ”
"You are wise, you are wise...... I want to be wise. "Some implicitly expressed the meaning of wanting to join the herring network.
Ye Shenxi said: "Others say that it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail." ”
"What, what's wrong with me, you just refused."
"No, from a personal standpoint and from the company's point of view, I welcome you very much, you just need to think it out yourself, is it really unpleasant to stay in Huang Yi."
Ding Yicheng waved his hand: "Forget it, when I didn't say it." ”
The two have a very tacit understanding, Ding Yicheng has always had a subconscious to compete with Ye Shenxi, just like the kind of sympathy between masters, especially when the early masterpieces of the two were "Eternity" and "Dream Qiankun" respectively, the peerless pride of China's domestic turn-based online games, and the media also compared them a lot.
Now Ding Yicheng's masterpiece is still "Big Talk", and Ye Shenxi is already "Eternal War", "The Origin of All Things" and "Getaway".
It is obvious that he is at an absolute disadvantage now, and it seems that the gap is getting bigger and bigger, but if he still wants to be able to argue with Ye Shenxi one day, staying in Huang Yi is still the best choice.
After these words were revealed, Ding Yicheng asked Ye Shenxi with some chatter: "Eh, what is the situation of your new project." ”
"Which new project are you talking about?"
"What, you have a few new projects......
"There are two at the moment."
"What else is there besides the one that was announced on Twitter in the first half of the year?"
"You still follow me on Twitter?"
"Isn't that weird?"
"I'm working on two projects myself, one is a linear story game, and the other is FPS, or TPS."
Ding Yicheng in front can probably guess it, and the one in the back is very surprised: "Shooting game? ”
"I'm going to fight Villefort's 'Heroes Against Terrorism'." Ye Shenxi sighed.
Ding Yicheng shook his head: "I don't know much about your international game circle...... I really don't know if you can make a shooter, a stand-alone game or an online game? ”
"In fact, what you asked is not quite right, the boundary between stand-alone and online games will only become more and more blurred, and more stand-alone games will also add networking functions in the future, so that players can interact with them, and many online games will also increase the content of stand-alone words."
"Well, it's like your "Immortal Dao", but I want you to talk well, so is it a stand-alone game or an online game?"
"Online games."
"You're going to have to compete with Villefort."
"No, it's going to be a more entertaining shooter."
"Go on."
"Traditional FPS games, like Counter Terrorism, rely heavily on teamwork, have a high technical threshold, and are fast-paced, which is too stressful for ordinary players. This requires players to spend a lot of time practicing their marksmanship, otherwise it will be difficult to have a relaxing and enjoyable gaming experience. ”
Ding Yicheng nodded: "Just like "Rota" and "Eternal War", the elements of RPG are added, and lane development or jungle is like the growth stage in RPG, so that players are not always fighting, dying, resurrecting, and then fighting, which is really stressful." ”
It was indeed a pleasure to chat with someone who understood, and Ye Shenxi cocked Erlang's legs: "For most ordinary players, they prefer and are more suitable for a relaxed game rhythm, and they are also eager to play their role as much as possible while relying on the team to win." ”
"The good performance of the individual in "Eternal War" can indeed drive the rhythm of the team, and even directly determine the outcome of the outcome, but "Heroes of Counter-Terrorism" is relatively more difficult. So the FPS game you are talking about, there will also be a player development stage, laning, jungler, killing creeps to increase experience upgrades? ”
"It's okay to fight the lane jungler, but killing creeps is not very suitable for this type...... Add a bunch of robots to compare marksmanship with the player. ”
"So how do you make players feel like they're growing?"
"It's the same as "Eternal War", relying on equipment."
"Where do you get the money to buy equipment without creeps?"
"Who said that if you want money, can't you pick it up yourself?"
"What do you mean...... Exploring the world? ”
"That's right."
"Sandbox FPS?"
"Exactly."
