Although spring has begun, the weather is still very cold, and the winter in the south is completely incomparable to that in the north.

Although there is air conditioning, there is a huge gap between heating and floor heating. The air conditioner is blowing, the hot air goes up, and the soles of the feet are still cold; Besides, there are always classmates who sit in the tuyere, and they were beaten by the hot wind all day in the last class, dizzy and can't stop.

That is, in the past few years, the network was underdeveloped, the information was relatively closed, everyone still thought that the north was cold, and the house was still frozen in winter.

However, it is estimated that it will take several years.

From the beginning of the year, the overtime process of the herring network began to go up again, and the merman began to produce a demo at full capacity, striving to come up with the best effect and apply for the approval of the project; With the current status of the herring fish network in China, it would be far-fetched to challenge others, after all, every step of their way is continuing the myth of "herring fish production, must be a high-quality product", originally thought that the myth of the end of the "origin of all things" not only did not let it be destroyed, but instead ignited a fire, pushing the herring fish network to a real international game developer.

This unnamed work should meet the challenge of E-time and space "Demon 2", Tenghua "Jade Dragon in the Sky", Guaniu "Jiuyin Zhenjing", these already announced domestic online game masterpieces, and perhaps Nsoft's "Sword Spirit".

Jiang Gong Studio also began to do the "Weibo" system, which is their main work in recent times, so that the platform can become a complete player ecology that can produce their own content, not only to find games, games and play games, but also to find fresh and interesting game information, videos, articles and other content produced by various self-media, so that the whole platform is really vibrant.

Looking to the future, there is another big function of the FG platform waiting for them to complete, that is, the crowdfunding and fundraising platform, which is the last of the three key points of the FG platform territory in Ye Shenxi's view, completing its social attributes and giving back to all game developers.

He Luo Studio wants to prepare for the second season of "Eternal War", the first season has ended a year ago, although it is only a shrinking season, after all, it started a little late, but the final result is perfect for the game itself, the herring fish network, players and the e-sports industry.

The final finals and award ceremony and year-end celebration, Ye Shenxi did not go, he was still on the other side of the ocean at that time, but he also paid attention to the grand occasion through the live webcast, compared with the final of the Qingyu Cup half a year ago, both in terms of the quality of the game, the players and the audience, the venue hardware, and the atmosphere of the event have made great progress.

It can almost be described as a grand ceremony, objectively, and not self-proclaimed.

In the second half of last year, players in China and even the world have seen a truly national e-sports league, 07 years, the number of e-sports users in China is only 1.5 million people, in last year, with the popularity of "Eternal War", as well as successful event promotion, the number has grown to 17.5 million in one year, breaking through the 10 million level.

The number of active players in Eternal War alone is now over 7 million, well, and that's just the number of active users, all of which add up to more than 15 million people, as well as some players who don't play themselves but watch the event on pay-TV channels.

In the first quarter of last year's OCL League, the number of viewers exceeded 53.7 million in four months, to be reasonable, Ye Shenxi even had a feeling of "why so little" when he first saw this data, and the number of users covering the audience was completely disproportional to the game itself.

Of course, he also knows that the biggest reason for the restriction is that the live broadcast conditions are not mature enough.

On the one hand, the picture is too blurry, it is difficult to meet the standards of commercial promotion, and it is still stuck from time to time, and there is an impulse to smash the computer at a critical moment.

If Qingyu Network also plans to enter the PC hardware market, it may be possible to give it a try.

Many times, even if you know that this thing will become mainstream in the future, of course, many people around the world know that everyone is not stupid, but at this stage, there is no mature technical solution at all, the cost is too high, and it is not even time to spend money on users.

As for Henggong, he has a lot of things in his hands, although the entire studio has now expanded to 40 people, except for the art.

The PS3 version of "Survival" at the invitation of Soni has not yet been ported, after all, there was no intention of being a console platform at that time, and this is a product purely to bundle the FG platform and accumulate users.

There is also a follow-up version of The Origin of Everything......

Now a real next-generation project has been added, but fortunately, this project is still in the early stage, and many systems are still colliding ideas, otherwise no matter how much overtime is overworked, it will be unbearable.

Now the time is 23:45, and it is another familiar moment, a familiar figure, appearing at a familiar barbecue stall, doing his familiar takeaway work.

Compared with before, the "lighting rate" of the software park at this time seems to have increased significantly, I don't know if it is under the leadership of the local leading herring network, it seems that the local company has also found a goal to strive for.

The reason why Funan is not such a competitive city in the game field has its own reasons for technology, ideas, and even attitudes.

This itself is a relatively idle city, and the pace of work is somewhat different from that of the coastal first-tier cities, and now there is a trend of "improvement" at least in this aspect, just like the kind of incentive for students to have a college entrance examination champion in the village high school.

"A lot of people are muttering today?" The proprietress of the barbecue stall asked, "Huh? Did you bring someone over today? ”

"Thirty-seven, is there so many?" That's why I brought Shan Jie down to help get it and talk about the project. Of course, thirty-seven is not all the people who work overtime, and we can't all eat barbecue, so we have to order some other snacks or something.

"Do you want a lot?" The boss was washing vegetables and skewering vegetables on the side, and looked up and said, "Good things, good things, it shows that your company is getting bigger and bigger." ”

"It's that they're getting better and better." Ye Shen Creek Road.

The boss counted: "Don't worry, there are enough and enough, there are more, that is, I want to go home and get some, and wait for a Hamo to have a relationship?" ”

Ye Shenxi asked, "It won't be too long, right?" ”

The boss pointed not far away: "We live over there, not far away, a two-to-three minute ride." ”

"That's fine."

The boss told his wife to roast it first, and then rode a tricycle and left, leaving a gust of wind.

The boss hasn't come back yet, but he met another person who also came over, Ye Shenxi still has a little impression, he has also met in this barbecue stall before, it seems that he is a small team leader who has invested in the project by himself.

That person also remembered Ye Shenxi, after all, such a handsome game person, rare in the circle, said a few words to the proprietress and walked over to sit down on the small stool next to Ye Shenxi, and said with a smile: "Little brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I thought you quit." ”

Ye Shenxi didn't know how to answer this.

Shan Jie next to him glared and gasped, what kind of person is this, rush over and call Mr. Ye's little brother...... Even if it is Shengda Chen Qiao, Huang Yiding Sanshi, Tenghua Huateng, these bigwigs, they have to shout "Mr. Ye......

Funan does not allow such awesome people to exist, and it is absolutely not allowed...... It's just that Mr. Ye didn't say anything, so how could he interject.

"No, I was on a business trip." Ye Shen Creek Road.

"Are you in operations? It is not easy to travel for development. ”

"Do some of them."

The old brother nodded and said that he understood, the division of labor in some small teams will not be so clear, and many employees have to do the work of several people alone, which also makes sense.

"Is this your colleague?" He pointed to Shan Jie on the other side of Ye Shenxi.

"Yes, colleague, let's go down and buy supper."

Shan Jie nodded lukewarmly, even if he had said hello, he didn't speak.

The little leader looked at it and felt that at Shan Jie's age, twenty-seven or eighteen years old should be more than mixed to the extent that he was distributed to buy supper, but this circle depends on talent, strength, and luck, who can say for sure. He has seen a lot of people who are still not mixed with any leadership titles at the age of thirty.

He also has it in his own team, which is a little higher than the salary of young people who have just entered the industry, but it is also limited, and the experience is there, but it is more oily, and some opinions can be put forward during the discussion, but it is not necessarily how reliable it is to really do things.

Ye Shenxi remembered that the last time this guy met him, he seemed to be doing an MMORPG like a beautiful fox swimming in "Tianlong", so he asked, "How is your project?" ”

Originally, I really asked casually, but the old brother's face darkened, and he sighed: "It's really hard to do......"

"What's wrong?" Ye Shenxi asked.

It's a bit of a long time apart.,I forgot that this guy is a bit of a talkative attribute.。

"Do you know how many people I bought for supper before? Forty servings, in addition to barbecue, I have to buy dumplings, dumplings, these things, now I only need to buy ten people, ha, but I have saved a lot of money. ”

"What's wrong?"

"It's all gone."

Ye Shenxi didn't speak, waiting for him to continue.

"Investors can't hold on.,Last year, I invested money in and was going to do a page tour.,I'm good to say.,And persuade him to do a long-term game.,You can collect money every month for several years.,Change the direction.。

"I'm afraid it's a lot of additional investment."

"That's for sure...... It's enough to do a web game of two million, and the end game is still a 3D project, and you can't do it without tens of millions. ”

"And he couldn't hold it out?"

"Alas...... He also wants to make games, so he often keeps an eye on the progress and gives some opinions......"

"Some opinions are harmless, and some are probably hurtful." Ye Shenxi probably knew the main reason why his project was yellow.

"That's not it, I've been doing it for nearly a year, and the framework is almost done, and there is already a lot of work left, and suddenly the big boss feels that something is not right. He played the internal test of Jin Chan's "Swordsman 3", and felt that the direction should be changed, the confrontation between the two camps, the dungeon, the arena, and the light work, these things ......"

"That's going to have to change a lot." Even Shan Jie on the side couldn't help but interject.

"How long has the world been doing "Swordsman 3", so many people, a small team like ours...... We estimated that if we were to do that, it would be basically equivalent to starting all over again, and maybe some art resources would not need to be redone, and it would take two and a half to three years anyway. ”

"Then the hearts of the people are almost scattered, how many people can waste four years in a small entrepreneurial team with no future in sight...... Originally, there was no year-end bonus for an entrepreneurial team like ours, and there was no need to wait until the beginning of the year to resign, and a lot of people left at the end of last year. ”

"The team is scattered, the boss can't see it, it can't be done, and the money will be withdrawn."

Originally, it was a very risky thing for the entrepreneurial team to do 3DMMO, and it also needed a big boss who liked to intervene, so it was not surprising that it was yellow in the end.

It's simply a standard game industry startup attempt story.

"And what about you now? What are you doing? Ye Shenxi asked.

"Take out the previous things and change them, try your luck with some small things, and some of the gameplay can also be changed into a small game if you take it out alone...... Try it on the FG platform. ”

“FG？”

"Yes, you don't know FG, right......" The little leader pointed to an office building next to him: "Qingyu Network's!" Aren't you guys making single-player games? Am I mistaken? ”

"No, I know, it's just a bit of a surprise, I remember that this platform is not very easy to play now."

At present, the stand-alone and indie games that have logged in to the FG platform have not yet reached the point where the Huangpu Qingyu team can't review them, almost last year from the launch of the store function in August, and now there are almost more than 500 games of various types that have passed the review, some are free to download, there are also in-app purchases, and there are also those that need to be purchased to play.

FG platform to expand its influence mainly needs to cooperate with the big IP of large manufacturers.

"Then it depends on the quality, we are not the kind of shoddy Flash games, but they are also 3D, and it shouldn't be difficult to pass the review."

"Why did you want to get on this platform?" Ye Shenxi asked again.

The face in the shadow of Shan Jie beside him was a little strange...... He heard Ye Shenxi say a little bit, "Fellow, how is this year's harvest?" "The feeling ...... Mr. Ye still plays with micro-service private interviews......

"Tsk, little brother, you can sell this question for money...... Do you know "The Great Sword Master"? ”

"I've heard that it's the indie game that was very popular at the end of last year, right? The author seems to be a native of Funan. ”

"Yes, yes, that's it! I happen to know the author of that game, and he did the whole game from art, programming, planning, and sound effects all by himself. He made a featured recommendation on the homepage of the FG platform in December last year, and sold more than 20,000 copies in that week, and after that wave of word-of-mouth came out, the cumulative sales have now exceeded 43,000! ”

The little leader couldn't help but be excited, it was a bit like talking about the product he made himself: "He sold a game for 10 yuan, and he had a six-fold discount in the middle, and sold 37,000 copies during the discount, except for the commission of the FG platform, he alone earned nearly 200,000 yuan on this game!" ”

"That's a lot."

"It's not a lot, this hairstyle has no promotion cost at all! Just rely on the traffic of the FG platform, you don't need to invest money in advertising and send advertorials, that's pure earning! And it's only been out for a long time, when its reputation goes up again, it will spread among players, and it will continue to sell later, it is estimated that how can he make five or six hundred thousand yuan in this game, or even millions of dollars! ”

He spent four months making the game, earning half a million in four months, with an average monthly salary of 125,000. If you think about my team of ten people now, if you can make the same one as him in four months, each person will also have a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan, and I think the quality of so many of us is not necessarily worse than that of him alone, the price can also be mentioned as 20 yuan, which can be regarded as a small game, players are not so sensitive, 10 yuan can buy 20 yuan, where can it be worse? ”

The little leader said again: "You were originally making stand-alone games, you should know better than me, do you still plan to press the plate and sell it in physical stores?" I don't know how much it costs. I don't know in the world, but there should be more players who spend money to buy single-player games on the FG platform. ”
