In the morning of the next day, representatives of Penguin came to Tianang Electronic Entertainment Co., Ltd.

There are Minister Sun of the Foreign Cooperation Department of the Group, Minister Zhu of the Propaganda Department, Minister Liu of the Technology Department, Zhao Leader of the Evaluation Team, and five ordinary evaluators and technicians.

After spending more than two hours in the technical department to get a preliminary understanding of the basic situation of the game, Team Leader Zhao took the technicians and testers to stay in the technical department, while the three ministers followed Li Ang into the conference room.

As soon as he sat down, Minister Sun said directly: "We have all seen the game just now, and it is indeed unexpectedly good, but I don't know how your company plans to cooperate?" ”

Leon didn't answer, just made a gesture.

Sitting next to him, Minister Qi, who was in charge of Tianang's external negotiations, spoke: "As we all know, our "Legend of Anti-Japanese Heroes" is a pure stand-alone game, although it needs to be networked throughout the process to verify the genuine, but the requirements for the server are not high. Therefore, unlike the last "Battle of Mountains and Seas", we hope to follow the industry practice and take the general channel sharing. ”

"Industry practice?" The chubby Minister Zhu frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

"Yes." Minister Qi nodded, his face expressionless.

The largest game publishing platforms in the industry, such as Stiem and Fruit App Store, have channel fees of 30%, and some domestic software platforms are also learned, and most of them are in accordance with this ratio.

However, the Penguin game platform is not an ordinary platform, as one of the top computer game platforms in China. It sits on hundreds of millions of registered users, it is a real top channel, and the channel fee is naturally rising, and it has always been not in accordance with this ratio.

At the moment, Minister Sun had an opinion: "This ratio doesn't seem to be appropriate." You know, we are also responsible for the follow-up approval of your game, which will consume a lot of public relations resources of our company. There is also the pre-promotion of the game, which also requires us to call the group's resources, real money to invest, only divided into 30%, is it too little. ”

"I think you're getting something wrong, it's not a buyer's market." Minister Qi shrugged: "The number of users of the Penguin game platform is amazing, but our game is a stand-alone game after all, and the quality is outstanding, and the choice of partners is very free. For example, Stiem, such as major OEMs, such as pig farms, I think, they are very willing to cooperate with us. ”

"Of course, given the good relationship we have built when we were representing "Mountain and Sea Wars", we are still more willing to cooperate with you. That's why we're the first to tell you to come. After a pause, Minister Qi continued: "Moreover, as far as we know, you have also been making efforts in the stand-alone market and want to make a difference in this market. But at present, the products on your platform are all independent games, small productions, or old games from previous years, in terms of word-of-mouth, not to mention Stiem, and even the Songuo platform may not be comparable. ”

"What the hell do you mean?" Minister Sun's tone was tinged with faint anger.

"I mean, you desperately need a game or more to break the ice! And before other game manufacturers enter the stand-alone game market, they will occupy more market share! Minister Qi said bluntly: "Of course, it is a good way to cooperate with top foreign game manufacturers and introduce top foreign triple-A games." But, how can this compare to having an exclusive, top-notch, domestic, triple-A masterpiece? ”

"Exclusive?" Minister Sun immediately grasped the key to his words.

"Yes." Minister Qi nodded: "We are willing to give you a certain amount of exclusivity, for example, within three months of the release of the game, we will not find other platforms to cooperate." Moreover, you will permanently and exclusively own the Chinese version of the game "The Legend of Anti-Japanese Heroes" on PC. To put it simply, even if we work with Stim three months later, we will only release non-Chinese versions in other regions except Stim Country. The console version will also be released three months after you release the game. ”

"That's ......," Minister Sun's tone softened, and then asked, "Why is the exclusivity period three months?" Can it be extended? Like half a year? For console, which company do you plan to work with? In fact, we at Penguin also have game consoles......"

……

While Minister Sun and Minister Qi were arguing over the terms of cooperation, Li Ang was also discussing the game with Minister Liu of the Technology Department of the Penguin Game Platform.

Minister Liu's face was embarrassed: "Isn't this 99G client too exaggerated?" Although our Penguin company's major data centers are very complete and have the strength to ensure the download bandwidth, downloading such a large thing at once, in case the player's hard disk is not enough, it will inevitably cause a blow to the player's enthusiasm for the game. ”

"We've optimized the game many times, but the game itself is so rich that it can't be scaled back any longer." Leon explained with a calm face.

"No, I mean, why don't you divide the game into parts and sell them separately?" Minister Liu suggested: "For example, wouldn't it be great to make a trilogy, so that each one is 33G?" ”

"But our whole game is coherent." Li Ang said: "For example, those future props, if they are used less in the early stage, they can be kept until the later stage." For example, choosing a different route will also affect the subsequent levels. If it is divided into several parts, isn't the plot coherent? ”

"Continuity, ah......" After thinking about it, Minister Liu said: "It's not difficult to solve, you only need to limit the order of purchase, and the general archive will do, for example, only if you buy the first part, you can then buy the second and third parts." Anyway, the game saves are saved in the cloud, and when the time comes, the data exchange should not be difficult to solve with your company's technology. ”

After thinking about it carefully for a while, Li Ang had to admit that what Minister Liu said had some truth.

So he nodded: "In this way, our game is according to the chapters, according to the 14 years of the Anti-Japanese War, it is divided into 14 chapters, and the game will be divided into 14 parts for sale, and the name will be "The Legend of the Anti-Japanese Heroes: The First Year" until "The Legend of the Anti-Japanese Heroes: The Fourteenth Year", you can buy the chapters in turn. In this way, each chapter is about 7 Gs, so it's no problem. As for the pricing, it is also modified, 19 yuan for a chapter. If you have a full set of luxury versions, the preferential price is only 199 yuan. ”

Seeing that Li Ang was following the advice, Minister Liu then suggested: "Is it possible to add a difficulty selection option to the game?" If it gets harder and harder in the later stages of the game, isn't it not very player-friendly? ”

"No, I'm not going to change that." This time, Li Ang decisively refused: "First of all, I want to ensure the original appearance of history as much as possible. And,In fact,The difficulty increase in the later stage is only compared to the brainless Musou mowing in the early stage.,It's not much different from the ordinary difficulty of ordinary FPS stand-alone games.,After all, in ordinary World War II games,Isn't the protagonist fighting with weapons from World War II? ”

"And not every enemy in the middle and late stages is as strong as the elite division and ghost soldiers in the early stage, there are still many puppet armies in the middle and late stages of history, the Imperial Cooperative Army, and the recruits who have only been trained for more than three months, such enemies are not difficult to solve. The protagonist doesn't act alone, he also has comrades around him. ”

"And after all, the protagonist is a person from the future, and other future props will be broken and exhausted, but there are two things that he is far superior to ordinary people, one is his mind, he is an excellent citizen scientist, even if the conditions were poor at the time, he was still able to modify the weapons at that time to a certain extent, making them more powerful and stable. There is also a pure white protective suit on the protagonist's body.,It can offset a certain degree of damage.,And treat a certain degree of injury.,As long as it's not a headshot.,Hard to catch a shell.,It's not fatal to take one or two shots on the body.。 ”

"And each level is very free, there are various ways to clear the level, players can choose the easiest way to clear the level, and they don't necessarily have to choose the nightmare difficulty of 'killing every devil on the map'. There is a handicapped handicapped gameplay, and there is also a high-play gameplay. ”

……

After a whole day of discussion, finally in the evening, the legal staff from Penguin Company signed a preliminary cooperation intention with Tianang Company.

Penguin representatives also left the company with a USB flash drive containing the complete game installation package and 25 activation keys.
