Chapter 32: The End of the Year

The overseas market performance of "Three Kingdoms", a week after the game's release, the follow-up performance gave people a small surprise. Since the second week of the game's release, there has been a small gap in the European and American markets, and this game from the future oasis with a strong cultural color has been sought after by a group of players.

Among the major overseas live broadcast websites, the live broadcast of the content of "Three Kingdoms", whether it is the number of anchors or the number of viewers, has also quietly come to the top few, although it is not as good as those various battle games that dominate the list all year round, but it is also very good in RPG games.

The player popularity curve of "Three Kingdoms" is more like the curve of a single-player game. Basically, the number of players in the first month is the largest, and the subsequent players will slowly churn, and then stabilize at one, and every time there is a new content update, the number of players online will rise in a wave.

This is like most games, the sales of the base game are definitely the highest, and the more DLC is released, the sales are generally on a decreasing trend.

It's just that the decline in players of "Three Kingdoms" is still a little slower, and now everyone has not entered a period of fatigue, and the novelty of players in this dynamic world has not faded so quickly.

What makes Su Li happy is that the PVP gameplay in "Three Kingdoms", which was not taken seriously, has attracted many players. A month after the game's release, according to relevant statistics, the number of players in PVP gameplay has been comparable to those PVE gameplay.

This phenomenon made the entire project team pay attention to it and began to discuss the potential of PVP gameplay and the exploration of subsequent content.

The follow-up content plan for "Three Kingdoms" was already planned when the game was still in development. Because of the existence of the dynamic world system, the game content of "Three Kingdoms" needs to be gradually updated into the game. That's what it means to have a separate studio for the Three Kingdoms project.

The meaning of a dynamic world is that it can change at any time. In the future, Oasis needs to prepare the content in advance to make the system work perfectly.

Therefore, although Oasis now wants to concentrate resources to start its own triple-A masterpiece in the future, here in "Three Kingdoms", it still guarantees enough resources for the studio.

After the official release of "Three Kingdoms", Su Li didn't care much about the specific design content of "Three Kingdoms", but just followed up the progress of the project. The specific design of the game content has been completely decentralized.

The success of Three Kingdoms boosted the confidence of the studio members and the entire Future Oasis, and after Shadow Secrets, the Future Oasis will have a million-selling game.

And this game does not rely on market barriers and cultural barriers, relying on feelings and other things to harvest the domestic market, but has a good response in the whole world.

For the follow-up strategic planning of "Three Kingdoms", a very important work needs to be completed in a hurry, that is, the porting of the console version of "Three Kingdoms".

These days, Future Oasis and SN and MS have negotiated relevant agreements to join the console game development camp, and now Future Oasis is not those small characters, as a development studio with several million-selling masterpieces, coupled with the outstanding technical ability shown, there are not a few people who have ideas for them.

Ordinary independent producers or small independent studios in China, if they have not won some awards or participated in some activities, may not be able to pass when applying to become a console game developer.

After all, the number of development machines is limited, and even after becoming a developer, those development machines are rented to you, which need to be activated regularly, and you need to return them after exiting.

All the games of the future Oasis use their own engines, and they need to complete the compilation work across the environment.

For black technology, this is not a problem, and the porting of the console version of "Three Kingdoms" is also to accumulate some experience in console development.

The console port of "Three Kingdoms" is one of the priorities of Three Kingdoms Studio's next work, and the console version of "Three Kingdoms" will be released with the next major content update of "Three Kingdoms", leaving the studio with only a few months of development time.

According to the current evaluation of players' progress, the Three Kingdoms Studio needs to gradually complete the development of new content within half a year, and the development pace of these new content is still very tight under the dynamic system.

The trailer for the next content of "Three Kingdoms" has been released.

After quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion, players will enter another exciting story, which is also the first major content update of "Three Kingdoms", with new map scenes, new gameplay, and a richer selection of skills and equipment.

The Eighteenth Road Princes Attack Dong, this part of the content will be released together with the console version of "Three Kingdoms".

Of course, these contents are all next year's thing, and after the official release of "Three Kingdoms", it will also be the end of this year. Domestic companies usually use the Spring Festival as the end of the year, and Future Oasis is no exception.

This year, for the future Oasis, can also be regarded as a bumper year, the new DLC of "Shadow Secrets" has completed a double harvest of word-of-mouth and sales, and "Three Kingdoms" has performed well in the domestic and foreign markets.

In the future, the Spring Festival holiday of Oasis is still quite long, if it is not for those more urgent projects, there is no time pressure for the time being, and ordinary employees can basically start the holiday from the week before the Spring Festival.

This year, because the two studios were in the middle of the year and there was a lot of pressure on the project, the annual tour was also moved to the end of the year. This year's annual tourist vacation was chosen as a location in Japan, and Su Li and his employees from Future Oasis began to enjoy a hot spring trip.

At the end of the year, for the game circle, major game media organizations and the like will start their award activities, counting the number of institutions that award games this year has been as many as three digits, but most of these institutions are called pheasant awards, and basically no one cares which games they give awards to.

However, there are also several awards that attract more attention in this circle, and the Game of the Year awards of TGA, DICE and GDC are often considered to be the three most important awards in the gaming industry. The TGA represents the choice of the gaming media, while the latter two tend to be judged by the gaming industry.

In the circle of players, at this time, there will be a "full exchange of opinions" because of the selection of these awards, which is actually tearing. The game I like didn't win an award, and the game I don't like won the game of the year, and the TGA actually awarded this game a proper pheasant award.

This year, these awards were rounded by those traditional manufacturers.

This year's awards, too, do not see the name of the future oasis.
