Without lying, Ye Shenxi has indeed returned to China, and before returning to China, at Salmon Studio in Seattle, he had assigned the first teamwork task to the current 17 employees since the studio's establishment.

This studio made him happy and a little sad.

These are all battle-hardened old people in the industry, and some of them have also been dominant.

In terms of combat effectiveness, at least on paper, it still looks a bit strong.

Like Robin from the defunct Turtle Rock studio, Survival Journey skyrocketed to the top of last year's VGA Awards for "Best Multiplayer", which is indeed an excellent multiplayer online game and a highlight in his honor book. Under the promotion of Villefort's own STEEM platform, sales have also been rising, second only to "The Origin of Everything" and "Grand Theft Auto 4" in January, which also led to a wave of zombie fighting.

If he had stayed at Wilford, he would have been mixed with a title like a technical director by this time.

When such a talent leaves, the headhunter's database is the object of constant attention, and he should have received emails from many companies, but I don't know why he chose Qingyu Network in the end.

In this environment in North America, choosing a game company with a Chinese background, not only a Chinese-funded background, but also a game company whose direct leadership is Chinese, is not the best choice.

China is currently the world's fourth largest game market, but in terms of project development capabilities, it is still a game desert in the eyes of most people. Laymen leading insiders should be avoided as much as possible.

Just like when the parent company of glass slag, Weiwangdi, acquired Xuele Mountain, and then led the company that had published "Half Dead" to life and death, and became a laughing stock.

Ye Shenxi even asked him this question in person, saying that in addition to the remuneration that is higher than the market price, what else attracts you.

Robin was also very direct and candid, and bluntly stated his reasoning.

In his view, in the future, digital distribution in the game market will gradually replace traditional entities and become the mainstream, and the promotion effect of large-scale digital distribution platforms for a game will be no less than the placement of various marketing advertisements.

What game can compare to the platform's own first-party product?

According to his research, Qingyu Network is not only a platform, but also covers a wide range of fields, even including the field of online video.

The implication is that he is very optimistic about the platform of the herring network, and he is relatively more optimistic about the future products of the herring network.

It is worthy of the man who came out of Villefort...... You must know that this brother's specialty is graphic rendering.

Other personnel also came here for their own reasons, such as being optimistic about "Eternal War", thinking that the North American side would also be responsible for part of the content of the MOBA project; or simply a high salary; Some are curious about Chinese game companies; There are also start-ups with rich family backgrounds and strive for promotion...... This is true, and it may seem to them that they are more likely to become the technical backbone of Chinese companies...... Anyway, there are any reasons.

They're from Villefort, they're from EA, they're from Autovision, they're from Yubi, they're big companies in their studios in Seattle and surrounding cities, and now they're making up Salmon, which is what Summer Fish has the name...... Every time Ye Shenxi thinks about it or talks to others, it feels very abrupt, and it is a bit dramatic.

Each company has its own style, and the studios under the company are different.

This also means that they have very different project backgrounds and past experiences, and now they are integrated into the same studio, and habits, preferences, and collaborative processes all need to be re-honed.

This is where Ye Shenxi is worried.

Xia Qingyu prepared a team of 17 people with their own abilities for him, at that time, this girl's mentality was like seeing talents and accepting them first, as for letting them do something, they haven't thought about it yet, and they will be free-range first, anyway, it will definitely be useful to keep it for their own men, and it will surprise him a little......

Surprise！ This is my New Year's gift for you!

It's also a big burden for 17 people.

Fortunately, the projects they have done in the past are not completely different, if you do RTS, he does puzzle puzzles, and the other one does casual passing...... That's even more troublesome.

Ye Shenxi hasn't mentioned the next step to Xia Qingyu yet, maybe he hasn't really made that decision yet, but she understands.

After Survival and The Origin of Everything, his next project must be a 3D RPG.

That should be a project that he has been thinking about for a long time, and those games before that were more about accumulating strength for the company, as well as technology, and cultivating the team.

3A is not 3A not necessarily, but the company should have come to this point, and the same is true for him personally, a swordsman has been sharpening his sword for a year and a half, and he should always want to get out of the sheath, find someone to compete, have a big fight, and try the sword.

……

As a game development team, it's not even the time to really roll out the workload, even if it's the brainstorming and technical framework construction in the early stage, Salmon is not complete, and it can't complete the whole project for the time being.

Ye Shenxi threw them a separate module first, fighting.

It's not a complete combat system, there is no monster AI, the opponent just stands still, there is no skill, there is no damage value, there is only one content, fighting.

It can be seen that the achievement is a practice mode for normal attacks.

Within two months, Ye Shenxi asked Salmon Studio to complete a combat demo, including two basic combat methods, hand-to-hand combat and a sword with cold weapons.

Character actions need to take into account the characteristics of weapons, as well as environmental parameters such as surface resistance and gravity, as well as the determination of various collision volumes and locations, and of course, Athena 2.0 has a full physics engine to provide good support for these, as well as ready-to-use visualization tools.

Scenes, character models, and actions are all provided by the Funan headquarters, and Salmon Studio doesn't have to worry about this, and they can't do it.

Ye Shenxi needs to see competitive combat results.

I didn't say it explicitly, but everyone in Herring North America knew that they should start an ARPG project next.

……

……

The editorial department of "Video Game" magazine in Beijing has two editorial groups dedicated to stand-alone game information, with a total of four people. As a local game media, it is a pity that they do not have their own overseas office, and there is no way to get information about many game-related news in the world in the first place, and send reporters to interview well-known game people...... Most of the time, I only learned about it through the reports of other major overseas media.

Now these four people are divided into three to be responsible for searching for the relevant developments of Qingyu Network and "The Origin of Everything" overseas around the clock, and then sorting out the reports.

"The Origin of Everything has exceeded 2 million sales worldwide!"

"The Origin of Everything has an average media rating of 94 on Metacritic, a comprehensive rating site for movies, television, music, games, and more! The player rating is also 85 points! ”

"The Origin of Everything is on sale in Australia, and 50,000 sets are sold out in half a day!"

The latest news like this is at your fingertips.

"The Swedish team is ready to restore the whole of Stockholm 1:1 with "The Origin of Everything"!"

"British secondary school teachers use 'The Origin of Everything' to teach students, and games come into the classroom!"

Social news is also available.

Even if you don't find any new content for a while, searching the global network for some beautiful buildings made by players, or looking for the latest uploaded mods on the FG platform to explain, can also serve as a news ......

The Silence of the Lambs is also distressed.

For domestic game media, online games are still the mainstream, which is definitely in line with the market, while stand-alone games have no news channels of their own, and they can only translate articles from foreign media, at most add a little subjective evaluation from their own editors.

They don't want to be translation machines, the dignity of media people.

Who makes the news of "The Origin of Everything" so hot now, it is more than when "Survival" was in the first place.

The main thing is that this game has caused a sensation abroad...... When no one plays abroad, the country is black, since the beginning of the month, with the popularity of this game around the world, the domestic reputation has completely reversed, and those who have negative opinions about this game are almost no longer visible, of course, but they are also cautious and cautious when speaking, for fear that a disagreement will attract a group of brainless fans.

And the original black water army has disappeared without a trace, because it is known that the black is not moving, and it is useless to spend money.

Players are waiting for these news every day, even if they don't play games, they are happy to see foreign friends addicted to a made in China game, all kinds of curious social news, foreign media praise as happy as praising themselves.

There is a special bonus power in this, which is related to the nation.

At present, the demand for news related to "The Origin of Everything" is too great, and as long as the title of almost any article is accompanied by the keywords of Qingyu Network, Pasca, and the origin of all things, the number of clicks is definitely several times higher than others.

This effect is manifold.

Dig the treasure on the top to sell the assembly of computers,Before, it was generally called "Eternal War Console,Play Package ABC" is the most.,There are also some "Beyond the Line of Fire Cool Summer Host", "Dungeon Warrior Brave Invincible Package" and the like.,Anyway, what game fire is what kind of host。

And now it has also been added "The Origin of Everything, Origin Package", and in the detailed introduction below, the store owner will also mark some high-definition material packs that have begun to appear as a display, which is still above 60 frames per second, which is trustworthy.

There are also some new games that will also rub into this hot spot.

Either the elements of the origin of all things are added to the promotional advertorial, such as "The Road of the Heavenly Sword", which just conducted an undeleted internal test on January 26, and there is an article called "The Road of the Heavenly Sword" and "The Origin of All Things" all-round comparative evaluation. ”

Please, you're an MMOARPG end game, or a traditional Xianxia theme, focusing on mythical beast pets, you can't beat the eight poles, does it matter!

In this "evaluation report",It's really a detailed comparison of the various systems of the two games,Especially in a comparison of the game screen, he also claims to be a big win,It's also superior in the social system,With a rich variety of three-dimensional interactive content,Master and apprentice,Friends,Gang,Worship,Marriage...... Defeated The Origin of Everything......

Of course, in the final overall evaluation, "The Road of the Heavenly Sword" has not yet braved the world's condemnation to defeat "The Origin of All Things", and the author's evaluation is that each has its own merits, and "The Road of the Heavenly Sword" is obviously more suitable for Chinese players and more in line with the national conditions.

In fact, in China, this game has been accompanied by various controversies since its announcement, mainly because the company that has been a little deified seems to be playing a stand-alone game, and it is a small game...... Let's see,It's been almost a year since a new online game has been announced.,Is it going to sit on the four web games and one terminal game in your hand and eat the old book.。

Before the official release, in the game information announced, it is difficult for most domestic players to understand what kind of gameplay it is, and how fun and where it is.

Where it was released, due to the strange painting style, unsatisfactory sales, it was also blackened by the big black, and then now, it has ushered in a complete turnaround.

Whether it is sales or word of mouth, this is actually inseparable from the positive relationship between the mainstream markets of Europe, America and Japan for this game.

The Silence of the Lambs is actually quite unpleasant in their hearts.

"Is there any accurate information?" He asked the editor kitten, who had just put down the phone.

These days, almost all the media in China are looking for Pasca, and they call Qingyu Network every once in a while, and the answer they get all the time is: "Mr. Ye is still in the United States." ”

"When will you be back?"

"I can't say for sure at the moment."

"Then give me an approximate time, can you come back in January? What about February? I have to come back for the New Year! ”

"I'm really not sure, I'm sorry to ......"

It's really hard to do an interview...... Especially after this kind of "returning with honor", he gave an exclusive interview to the domestic media for the first time.

Of course, the Silent Lamb himself has Ye Shenxi's private phone, but this old brother is stubborn, with the arrogance of a cultural person, he has to go through the normal procedure, and the matter between companies is solved by the method between companies, and he disdains to use this "cheating" method.

made his younger brother depressed and afraid to speak.

I thought the kitten would answer like before and hadn't come back yet.

Unexpectedly, he spit out a sentence: "Mr. Ye is back." ”

"Huh?"

"I just came back yesterday."

"What about the interview?"

"Yes, anytime."

"In Funan or Huangpu?"

"Funan."

“……”

“？？？”

"What are you doing in a daze, booking a plane ticket!"

"Oh, how many to order?"

If it's a pure online media, it's okay to interview or call directly through chat software, with pictures...... It's okay to search for a few photos online, and you can't find screenshots of "The Origin of Everything", but video games have their own physical magazines.

……

Foreign counterparts are also looking for Ye Shenxi's figure, a small number of them have already interviewed him before the launch of "The Origin of Everything", of course, it was invited by the herring fish network itself, mainly to cooperate with the promotion of the game, and the dialogue mainly revolves around this game.

Now there is more interest in Pasca as a person.

After this game became popular, Ye Shenxi was also invited to conduct some media interviews, or appeared in some game industry activities in North America, and also talked and laughed with these Western reporters.

But now when more media want to find this person, they suddenly find out that this guy is a Chinese and has returned to China......

Now a lot of people around the world are looking for him, okay...... Returning to China is like a retreat, and all of a sudden the source of information is cut off.

The previous interview didn't cause much repercussions at the time, and the number of clicks and readings was not high, but now those articles have been turned out again, and they are talked about by players, like a popular star.

……

At about the same time as the Silence of the Lambs in Video Games booked a flight, a reporter from another American weekly was doing the same thing, but the flight was different.

Christie, a female reporter for Time magazine? Everhart is also preparing to travel to China for a full interview...... Very complete, after she studied the reports on China's game industry that can be queried on the Internet and Ye Shenxi's past experience, this report should not only be about Ye Shenxi and the game "The Origin of Everything", but also a complete analysis of China's game industry.
