Chapter 201: The King Himself Came to Patrol the Mountain
.lΔβ
Xiao Yidao, the editor of Demon Qi Mountain, wrote such a line directly.
"From the fiasco of "Blood Lion" ten years ago, the rise of online games at the turn of the century, the cutting of foreign giants such as Glass Slag Yubi and Electronic Arts, the strict and harsh approval system theme has remained unchanged for thousands of years, the prejudice of the older generation against 'electronic heroin', and the clichΓ© piracy, all kinds of problems have caused this market to collapse with a bang."
"Fortunately last year, we were able to see some games such as "Fantasy Three Kingdoms 3", "Sword and Fairy IV", "Legend of the Three Kingdoms VII", "New Peerless Shuangjiao Prequel", which may seem a bit pessimistic, but really, last year should have been the last struggle of domestic stand-alone games, please remember this year."
According to the "2007 China Game Industry Report" released by the Game Working Committee of the China Publishers Association, the number of stand-alone games released last year was 68, and the market size was 73 million yuan. For comparison, the market size of online games reached 15.1 billion yuan last year, and even mobile online games have a market of 97.4 million. According to the data so far, it is estimated that the number of stand-alone games released this year will not exceed 30, and the market size will shrink to less than 30 million. β
"That's not the most serious data, because at least there are people doing it, isn't it, and the most serious thing is that we probably don't have anyone who will do it anymore."
"No one has done it, no one will do it, in this situation, what can the Qingyu platform do as a distribution platform."
Xiao Yidao asked such a question full of confusion.
In fact, what he said was one of the problems that Ye Shenxi was most worried about.
There is no background in commercial investment, there is no agency distribution, and there are still many individual developers in China who are doing it for free.
However, the rise of an industry cannot be supported solely by some lightweight indie games, and both indie games and commercial games have their own markets, each performing its own role, but there are big and small.
The gap in volume is very large, just like the film industry is now beginning to prosper, it will take one or two generations of directors to keep trying, it needs to smash one work at a time, and it needs the input and output of commercial blockbusters.
If a commercial blockbuster can express a certain amount of humanistic care and depth, it is a classic.
Activating the market, role models, and building the confidence of players. The game industry also needs such a masterpiece, one or two are not enough, one or two companies are not enough, and the current domestic attention and R&D strength are not enough.
This matter requires a lot of people, and the herring platform FG is the basis that Ye Shenxi thinks wants to attract so many people.
Whether it will succeed or not, in fact, he himself is not sure, even for his two lives, this kind of attempt has not been experienced.
If he is an aboriginal himself, he will probably have the same attitude towards the herring network and what they are doing now, as these media and players are.
It's a bit of an adventure.
"Actually, they weren't wrong." Ye Shenxi said to Xia Qingyu.
Xia Qingyu knew his temper, so he liked dialectic, and he was also a little sleepy, so he snorted.
"But I just want to try." Ye Shenxi said again.
In fact, he didn't think about it so much at first, and he didn't know when he wanted to be a good traverser, so he wanted to toss.
Xia Qingyu responded with another hum.
The flight has finally arrived.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The next day is the first anniversary of the establishment of the herring network, Ye Shenxi has left Funan for more than half a month, to put the company can not talk about people for so long not to guard the center, now the company structure is rigorous, the division of labor of each department is clear, the cooperation is tacit, the management personnel also have team management experience, each part is running in an orderly manner, Ye Shenxi remotely formulates the tasks of various departments through the network, and pays attention to the progress of the version.
Xia Qingyu came to the company's new address for the first time after moving, and she had only seen the pictures before, so she couldn't take a real walk.
Besides, she hasn't seen the dumplings for a while, and when she got home last night or this morning, the dumplings were still staying at Chen Xiaofan's, I'm really afraid that if it takes a little longer, the dumplings won't even know their mother.
When the two of them were waiting for the elevator in the underground garage, they actually ran into the female white-collar worker who had nothing to talk about last time, and when they saw Ye Shenxi's eyes lit up, he walked over and said, "Huh? It's been a long time since I've seen you, and I thought you quit. β
Ye Shenxi wanted to say girl, don't look for trouble, but nodded and said, "Hello." β
Xia Qingyu raised her eyebrows: "Who is this?" β
The female white-collar worker noticed Xia Qingyu at this time, maybe it was the relationship between women who instinctively ignored and paid attention, and now they are a little embarrassed to see the two standing side by side, regardless of their appearance and temperament.
Ye Shenxi is also a quick person, and asked at the right time: "May I ask who you are?" Although he still has a little impression of female white-collar workers, how do you think this is also the best choice now.
Ye Shenxi's acting skills passed, and the female white-collar worker didn't know if he really didn't remember himself, but he immediately understood that the one next to him was the girlfriend he said last time, the one who named the dumplings. A little embarrassed to report to the door, only to find that the two of them just nodded and said, hello, there is no meaning to introduce themselves at all.
It was even more embarrassing to enter the elevator, Xia Qingyu stood in the middle, completely blocking her line of sight to Ye Shenxi with her height advantage.
And the old monk Ye Shenxi settled down, and his eyes did not squint.
β¦β¦
Back to the company, finally reunited with dumplings, Chen Xiaofan is a little sluggish, but also sharp, today he came to the company half an hour earlier than usual, and then took the dumplings and waited at the door, guarding the elevator doors.
Yesterday, I also helped the little guy take a bath, she is really both a father and a mother.
Not only Chen Xiaofan, but also the directors of various departments of the company also arrived early, because the company went directly to the anniversary celebration in the afternoon, so a meeting was needed in the morning to report on the recent work.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Xia Qingyu just took one foot and appeared at the door of the company, and before Chen Xiaofan could react, the dumplings came to the wind, and a burst of white ball lightning rushed over.
Dumpling looked at her mother and then at her father, but decided to pounce on her mother first.
Wagging his tail, jumping in circles, sticking out his tongue and licking, rubbing wildly against Xia Qingyu, selling cute whines and whining, doing everything, and his pestering skills have risen, and he really thinks about it.
Chen Xiaofan also trotted over and bowed beside him: "Mr. Xia." β
"Xiaofan, it's been a long time, I've worked hard for you during this time."
Is this the boss meeting the employee, shouldn't it be said that the work is hard or something?
"Hey, hey. By the way, Mr. Xia, don't you know that dumplings like to bite the sofa, and they even dismantled the sofa in my house before. β
Xia Qingyu also knew that Satsuma liked to dismantle the house, and at first he didn't want to raise Satsuma, but at that time he felt that this little milk dog had a unique eye, and in the kennel, it kept staring at himself through the cage's black eyes.
Dumplings are also very good at choosing the owner.
As a result, the dumplings grew up slowly, and they also reached the age of demolishing the house, I don't know if Xia Qingyu would take it out for a walk every morning to consume excess energy, and it really hasn't been demolished.
It turned out that he was just a dumpling sensible, and he didn't demolish his own home, but demolished other people's homes.
Ye Shenxi also said beside him: "I lost money." β
Xia Qingyu touched the dumplings and said, "That's fine." β
"Visiting the new company?" Ye Shenxi asked.
"Dumplings lead the way." Xia Qingyu knew that Ye Shenxi had something to do with Tan Xun.
"Okay, I'm in the office, the meeting time is nine o'clock, you can slowly go around."
This is the king himself coming to patrol the mountain.
Xia Qingyu took the dumplings around the new company, she didn't know most of the employees, but they knew the boss, and said hello to Xia Qingyu one by one, Xia Qingyu nodded and responded one by one.
Ye Shenxi directly called Tan Xun to his office, and the notebook was ready, and the platform department has developed a software tool development kit specifically for developers, called Fish_ork SDK, integrating various platform APIs, including uploading games to the platform, submitting new game versions, game communities, bazaar trading economies, store information and platform badges and achievement content configuration and other functions. There are many more features such as cloud saves, anti-cheats, and matchmaking, which are still in development and are not yet available.
Of course, some features such as platform badge achievements can be evaluated by developers for their own integration.
This development package is uploaded to the Qingyu platform for the game, not the fish fry plan, it is another piece of work, submit information on the official website, and the Huangpu platform department will complete the function and review, and it is not so urgent, because the platform now mainly needs to expand the game library. At this stage, the Huangpu Platform Department needs to be responsible for the construction of relevant rules and agreements, digital documents, banking, taxation and other related content.
Ye Shenxi came to do the final acceptance today.
Players are users of game companies, and they need to consider the user experience of the game, and developers are also users of the Qingyu platform.
For example, the steem platform also has its own software tool development kit, but there are a large number of configuration files that developers need to configure one by one, while the herring platform provides fully graphical software, which is more accessible than steem in terms of ease of operation.
The technical threshold is not high for game developers, mainly to reduce the understanding of developers and the communication cost between the two parties.
Of course, the programming language and game engine supported by the Fish_ork SDK are not perfect, it is written in C++ language, if the developer's game is in other languages, it is necessary to write a wrapper to establish the interface, and for some unpopular game engines, it is also necessary to use third-party solutions to solve the problem.
These are all things that need to be iterated on, and there is no need to rush them for a while.
"Let's start uploading." Ye Shen Creek Road.
"Okay." Tan Xun started to operate the laptop, opened the software, entered the developer account password, entered the upload operation interface, made various configurations, and uploaded a small game prepared in advance to the intranet.
