Chapter 169: Before it was developed, someone sent money

"BOSS, everything is ready and ready to be developed." Looking at Zhao Hao, who pushed open the door and walked into the office, James said to Zhao Hao with a smile on his face.

James is speaking Chinese, although it still sounds a little strange, but at least daily communication is not much of a problem, James is now living in China, so some daily communication Chinese must be learned.

After all, not everyone knows English, otherwise they won't be able to communicate when they go to the street to buy groceries or go out to play.

"I know, I'll go with me to the press conference later, and I'll officially start development tomorrow, and the official website, and the server have been ready?" Zhao Hao asked the staff.

Hearing Zhao Hao's words, the staff member in charge of this aspect hurriedly nodded and said: "It's all ready, the servers have all been set up, as long as the game comes out, you can immediately connect to the server and start the multiplayer mode." ”

Everything is prepared in advance, from radiation to the killer, and now the horse riding and slashing are naturally the same, Zhao Hao doesn't want anything to happen when the number of servers is not enough, or some other mess comes out.

"By the way, what do you think about using our portraits of some of the key characters in it?" Zhao Hao touched his chin and said with a smile at James.

Hearing Zhao Hao's words, everyone was slightly stunned, in fact, from the words from fate and Hideo Kojima, everyone knew a little bit about their boss, and they seemed to be a little narcissistic, but they didn't expect that they and others would be like Hideo Kojima who were asked by Zhao Hao like Zhao Hao.

"That's not good, Brother Zhao." Li Hua on the side said with some hesitation.

Although the name of the production team is written into a hidden corner of the game as an easter egg, or a scene that does not have a lot of scenes, the developers who named it the maker have it.

But as Zhao Hao said, simply turning the more key NPCs into our appearance, there are almost no such production teams.

And on the Internet, in addition to the nicknames of Brother Ritian, Zhao Hao also has a nickname narcissistic maniac.

Because as long as you buy something in Zhao Hao's store online, you will be given a signed photo. Whether you want it or not.

And the protagonist template of fate is Zhao Hao's own appearance.

Even in the post bar on the Internet, some people posted their own signed photos of Zhao Hao.

Stacked up to the height of half a person.

"What's so bad about it, it's not that we force the protagonist to be shaped. It's just an NPC, okay, so be it, of course, if you don't want to, you don't, anyway, I booked an NPC for a militaristic king. Zhao Hao said that he didn't care about this.

Players don't choose to play or not play because of that.

Of course, this is a situation in which Zhao Hao is very confident in the quality of his game.

In fact, the appearance of the characters of the game. It's still quite easy to influence the choice of some appearance parties.

This is why most of the works are full of handsome guys and beautiful women.

Even considering the age of the protagonist and the plot, the protagonist must be an uncle full of vicissitudes, not a 'master' with a rough beard.

There is a saying that only when the rich and handsome are old, they are called uncles, and the general fishing lines are called 'masters' when they are old.

Although Zhao Hao asked before, it is obvious that this project initiated by Zhao Hao, James is not like Hideo Kojima.

Then Zhao Hao confirmed with James and them the direction of development.

Zhao Hao, James and Li Hua went to the press conference hall.

Because of the reasons that have been notified in advance, after arriving at the press conference hall, many reporters have already stood in their positions. Specially waiting for Zhao Hao and them.

It's no different from previous press conferences, when the time comes, it's the reporters who ask questions, and then Zhao Hao and them promote the latest development of 'horse riding and slashing'.

Generally speaking, in fact, the purpose of this press conference is to promote Zhao Hao's new work 'Horse Riding and Slashing'.

Most of the news questions at the press conference were also sorted out.

Most of the questions raised also revolve around 'riding and slashing'.

But anyway, the game of Horse Riding and Hacking is actually known to most people after this promotion.

And on the list of major game expectations in China, horseback riding and slashing immediately climbed to the top three. Even though the game doesn't even have concept art or anything like that.

It's just a simple name.

However, adhering to the slogan that the production of Space Gate must be a high-quality product, many players are looking forward to the game of 'Horse Riding and Hacking'.

Especially according to Zhao Hao's publicity, this game is the same as the previous works. The main thing is freedom and unrestrained, and even more interesting.

"BOSS, a sponsor has already come to the door." James asked towards Zhao Hao.

There are only a few sponsors, NVIDIA and AMD.

In fact, more than one-third of the money spent on the creation of the killer is sponsored by AMD.

Unlike Ubisoft and EA, which have a good cooperative relationship with one of the sponsors, Zhao Hao's space gate is not like this, but adheres to the principle that whoever sponsors the most money will give which graphics card is specially optimized.

But this time, 'Ride & Blade' gave sponsorship. Obviously, it won't be as rich as the 'killer' made by Hideo Kojima.

On the one hand, it is because the total investment of 'riding and slashing' is placed there, and on the other hand, it is also because of the fame of Hideo Kojima.

The sponsorship fee for a small production is naturally small, which is no suspense.

If Zhao Hao's 'Horse Riding and Slashing' is a large-scale production of hundreds of millions of dollars, and the requirements for hardware are very high, then it is estimated that the sponsorship given by the two is likely to reach tens of millions of dollars.

Of course, not everyone can be worthy of their investment, similar to ordinary small companies, or indie games, it is estimated that even if you take the work to their company door and beg them, you will not be able to get a penny of investment.

But just like Space Gate, Ubisoft, EA, and Warner Games, these large companies, even if not to mention, NVIDIA and AMD will wave checks in front of you.

"What's so strange about this, whoever bids high will choose whomever you want, and choose NVIDIA at the same price." Zhao Hao waved his hand and said.

There is nothing debatable about this.

At the same price, it is natural to choose NVIDIA, not only because Zhao Hao has cooperated with NVIDIA.

It is even more because NVIDIA has a higher market share than AMD. (To be continued.) )
