Chapter Forty-Eight: The Stunned Crowd

Hearing Zhao Hao's words, Liu Dong and the others couldn't help but be stunned.

"Compared with stand-alone games, it is actually more difficult to succeed in online games, and even for our small studio, it is simply impossible." Zhao Hao shook his head, looked at a few people and said.

Although Zhao Hao didn't say why, several people also knew the reason, the domestic online game market, if compared to a piece of cake.

Big-name game companies, such as Penguin and NetEase, can be said to occupy 80% of the domestic online game market.

Zhao Hao sees this very clearly, if his studio wants to succeed, it can only rely on the rise of stand-alone or mobile games.

The online game market has basically been carved up, unless you really have the strength to defy the sky, or strong capital, otherwise you will be looking for death.

If it was seven or eight years ago when the online game market was just emerging, maybe Zhao Hao could have tried it, but now Zhao Hao doesn't bother to think about it.

As for choosing stand-alone games instead of mobile games, it's not that Zhao Hao doesn't have good novelties for mobile games, but that Zhao Hao doesn't know much about this aspect.

Zhao Hao is most familiar with the PC platform.

So why did Zhao Hao give up what he was best at and choose a path that he was not very good at?

"Brother Zhao, what kind of game are we going to develop? FPS, RPG or what? Liu Dong looked at Zhao Hao with some curiosity and asked.

This is also a question that they are more concerned about, different games actually have their own style.

For example, role-playing games, although there is no standard, most players know that this type of game is actually more focused on the plot and the graphics style.

Shooting games, on the other hand, are more tests for shooting games, with the recoil and realism of the gun.

Action games have higher requirements for a sense of impact, but Zhao Hao can only say that his studio can't make this type of game.

Because these games have very high requirements for game engines, and more importantly, whether it is a shooter or an action game, role-playing has one thing in common, and that is the story.

A good game, in fact, the plot is essential.

The engine is very simple, although the game engines of some large foreign companies, such as EA's famous frost engine, are not licensed, and some engines that require millions of licensing fees, Zhao Hao doesn't have to think about it at present.

But there are many licensed engines like Unreal that only cost $99, but what Zhao Hao can't accept is that Unreal Engine will take a share of the game after paying the $99 licensing fee.

"The games that the studio is going to make now are not these genres, but it can be said that they are all included, sandbox games, and this is the type of game that the studio is currently developing." Zhao Hao said to Liu Dong with a smile.

Sandbox games?

Hearing Zhao Hao's words, Liu Dong and the others couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what to say.

Sandbox games, what type of game is this?

"Forget it, maybe I said that, and you don't understand it, so I'll show you a demo." Shaking his head, Zhao Hao beckoned to several people.

Li Qiang and Zhou Qing on the side also followed with some curiosity, after all, the studio had just been established, and there was really not much that the two of them could do.

Turn on one of the computers in the hall, and then Zhao Hao plugged in his USB flash drive.

Since setting up a studio and establishing the project, Zhao Hao has actually been writing his own game programs.

And because of the ability brought by the Rolling Ball Beast, the progress is not small.

"Brother Zhao, is this OpenGL, are we going to use this as a game engine?" Liu Dong looked at the programming language program that Zhao Hao opened, and said with some uncertainty.

The people around them also showed a trace of suspicion, when they were recruiting on campus before, they heard Zhao Hao say that the Unity they learned was useless, and they thought that Zhao Hao's studio would use some more powerful game engines, and the worst should be Unreal Engine.

But I didn't expect it to be OpenGL, to say that OpenGL is not powerful, it is impossible, because anyone who knows OpenGL knows that it is powerful.

But if you say that you use it to make games, except for 3D graphics visualization games, Liu Dong and they really can't figure out what other great works this thing can make.

"No faith?" Looking at everyone, Zhao Hao smiled.

This is really a very normal thing, if you don't know that one is popular in the world, it can be called the most free game before, someone said in front of Zhao Hao that someone used OpenGL to develop a god-level game that swept the world.

Zhao Hao will definitely go over with a mouth, are you kidding me?

Can you see the game which I developed with that thing, a picture and physics?

But everything can only be explained after the physical object appears.

That's right, what Zhao Hao is currently preparing to develop is the most perfect game in addition to the graphics: Minecraft.

Of course, you say that its graphics are not good, but if you use a specially optimized graphics patch pack, then the graphics of this game will have a qualitative leap.

It's like you've been isolated in Africa for three years, and then you're sent back to your home country and you'll find that any woman on the street is beautiful.

Again, if you haven't played the game yourself, you won't believe you can still play it this way.

Looking at the obvious disbelief on the faces of Liu Dong and the others, Zhao Hao did not explain much, but directly showed Liu Dong and the others the code that he had almost written a few days ago.

"It's!"

"It could be like this!"

"Why hasn't anyone thought of it before?"

Looking at the surprised looks of several people, Li Qiang and Zhou Qing really don't know why, in their opinion, these things are as difficult to understand as the Book of Heaven.

"That's just part of it, you know what kind of game I want to make." Closing the program, pulling out the USB flash drive, Zhao Hao smiled and said.

"Brother Zhao, this is absolutely amazing, if it succeeds, it will definitely be a masterpiece."

After almost figuring out what kind of game Zhao Hao was going to make, Liu Dong's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"By now you should know why you're using this to make a game." Zhao Hao nodded and said with a smile.

If you want to fight the picture, Zhao Hao knows that you can't fight others.

Only innovation is fighting, and only gameplay is fighting.

"But Brother Zhao, isn't this game a bit monotonous? It's almost a 3D version of Lego. Guo Zhi, who was on the side, frowned and said.

"This is just the tip of the iceberg, a lot of ideas haven't been written yet, for example, you can make gunpowder, you can use water and magma to make obsidian, magma and sand can be made into glass, and the combination of multiple woods can be used to make sticks, and then sticks can be combined with iron ore or stone ore to make shovels and hoes." Zhao Hao said to Guo Zhi with a smile.

"In short, to create an open virtual game, I don't require the quality of the model, only the playability and creativity, if you want to build a luxurious castle in the game world, or even a city, a continent." Zhao Hao said slowly in the stunned gazes of Guo Zhi and others.
