Chapter 193: Imagine
"Forget it, our new game probably won't be a goddess Lianmeng. At that time, the manpower needed should not be as much as that of the goddess. Li Hong said with a smile.
Goddess Lianmeng is indeed a phenomenal game, but this maintenance and update is indeed too manpower-intensive.
Just like Fist, more than half of the designers' daily working hours are occupied by the problems of the goddess. If you want to develop a new game, you really can't spare people.
And this can't go outside to recruit employees, after all, the matter of virtual helmets is still absolutely confidential.
Whether it is now, or after the virtual helmet is launched, Li Hong will never let people who can't trust it participate in this development work.
Brother Xiao Ma smiled and didn't say much.
To be honest, he doesn't believe that the new game Li Hong said will have the goddess Lianmeng excellent.
Generally speaking, to be able to make a game like Goddess Lianmeng, which is popular all over the world, is already shit luck. Brother Xiao Ma doesn't think that Li Hong can have this luck and make another popular game.
What Brother Xiao Ma thought, Li Hong guessed a little.
However, he didn't have much of an opinion. Where the facts are, whether they are good or not, we will know when the time comes.
Li Hong really wanted to know, what kind of expression would Xiao Ma have if he learned about the virtual helmet?
After talking about the acquisition, Xiao Ma quickly hung up the phone. After all, he is the chairman of a large company, and he doesn't have so much time to chat with Li Hong.
Coming to the computer room inside Riot Games, Li Hong convened a meeting of the entire team of designers for the first time.
Soon, the game designers inside Riot came to this computer room one by one.
Taking out the helmet sample made by Mark before, Li Hong motioned to Mark on the side to introduce it to the designers in the audience.
"Okay, I'll introduce you. The helmet in front of you is a ...... that can take virtual images."
Soon, when the designers learned that the helmet in Mark's hand was the legendary virtual helmet, they were boiling for a moment.
"Oh Shet, is this true?"
"I must be dreaming, right? Virtual worlds? ”
"Oh my God, does this guy Mark know what he's talking about?"
"God, a new era is about to begin!"
“……”
In the small computer room, it was suddenly noisy by the noisy designers, just like the downtown area.
"Ahem......" Li Hong coughed and stopped the noise of the designers.
"Everyone, there is no doubt that this thing in front of you is indeed the legendary virtual helmet."
"I'm calling you here today to make an announcement."
"Our Riot Games company is about to be wholly acquired by Pengcheng's Penguin Group. From now on, we will get rid of the goddess Lianmeng and concentrate on being our virtual world. ”
"Boom la la ......"
When Li Hong said this paragraph impassionedly, the designers in the audience applauded very facelessly.
After stretching out his hand to stop the applause, Li Hong said loudly: "Everyone, our task now is to carve our mark in this blank virtual world. ”
Mark nodded and said, "The boss is right, our virtual world is still just an empty shell. And what we have to do is to fill this empty shell with all kinds of content. ”
"Are you still making games?" Tiamat asked, raising his hand.
Li Hong nodded and explained very seriously: "That's right, we are still focusing on games at present. ”
"The greatness of the virtual world, I believe I don't need to go into too much detail. This is an artifact that is enough to destroy most industries, and once it is not used well, it will be a life-urging talisman. ”
"We know more about the gaming industry than any other industry, and we are better suited to the gaming industry. Therefore, this virtual helmet was defined as a gaming helmet at the beginning. ”
A designer touched his chin and asked Li Hong: "Boss, you mean, this helmet can be filled with other things, right?" ”
"That's right, as long as you can think of an Internet product, you can fill it in." Li Hong explained.
The virtual world is more like the end of the Internet age. Everything people can think of can be moved to the virtual world.
And this kind of substitution is still the kind of substitution that transcends nature.
For example, instant messaging software, in the Internet era, the development of voice technology and video technology has made it possible to make video calls and voice information exchanges.
But if it is replaced by instant messaging software in the virtual world, it will be even more magical. Imagine that when you select a friend's icon in the app, the two of them will be teleported to a room and face to face.
Even, if customers don't want to communicate with others with their real faces, they can also use virtual avatars to communicate like QQ show.
Compared with the instant messaging software in the traditional Internet era, is it much more powerful?
Even more than instant messaging, e-commerce will also usher in an unprecedented reform and dramatic change.
In the traditional e-commerce model, customers can only look at the pictures and video text materials provided by the merchant if they want to understand a certain product. In the absence of physical objects, the shopping experience is basically not as wonderful as that of physical stores.
But when e-commerce appears in the virtual world, it's different.
Li Hong: As a service provider of the virtual world, they can provide a virtual space for every online store owner.
Once the customer clicks on the link, the avatar is transported to the space. At this time, the store owner can take out the virtual physical product of his own goods, so that the customers who are sent in can experience the use of the experience.
For example, in the traditional e-commerce model, there is absolutely no tasting of certain food series products. However, in the virtual world, since there is no cost, the owner can provide products for customers to try. After eating, you can place an order if you are satisfied.
Under this model, e-commerce will usher in an unprecedented change.
The position of food in e-commerce will also slowly catch up with the status of clothing, shoes and hats.
Online literature, this is an industry that has not been in existence for a few years. However, in view of the particularity of its industry, it is in the upstream of the entertainment industry chain, so it is also very representative.
In the traditional Internet era, the emergence and development of online literature is usually faced with many problems.
However, in the virtual world, online literature will usher in new development opportunities.
The problem of piracy will be perfectly solved in the virtual world. As long as no one can crack the laws of the virtual world, no one can make any piracy out of it.
Publishing is also more convenient, and generally speaking, the publication of online literature is usually a very troublesome thing. Moreover, this is not a benefit that everyone can enjoy.
However, in the virtual world, the cost is greatly reduced because there is no need for printing and paper. It can even be said that in the virtual world, the way of reading on the Internet will become a virtual reader for each person.
The treatment that physical books can have, the Internet can also have.
As for the issue of subscriptions, that's even less so. In the virtual world, as long as everyone wants to watch VIP works, they have to pay real money. Bonus coin piracy or something, non-existent.
