Chapter 158: I haven't done enough homework
About the 'fallout' launched on the unboxing setting, after bringing a lot of benefits.
Almost the next day, almost some of the popular stand-alone games on the market were all released with a life, and the update was similar to the skin pack update that did not affect the balance of the game.
However, there are not a few models that set the key to open the box like Fallout, but sell these decorations directly in the game.
But these don't care about Zhao Hao's affairs, he has found a way to make money, and if he takes a step first, there will naturally be others who will follow his footsteps and walk this road together.
If it is put on Zhao Hao's own body, he will also do the same.
"How's the engine development?" Looking at James, Zhao Hao asked with some curiosity.
"Where will it be so fast, although the funds are sufficient, but it still needs a certain period of time, for the image rendering, it will take about a week to complete." Hearing Zhao Hao's question, James smiled bitterly, shook his head and explained to Zhao Hao.
Although there is no shortage of manpower, technology, and development funds in the studio, there are some things that cannot be solved by these alone, and time is an unavoidable problem.
"Don't rush to make sure the new engine is perfect, that's the most important thing." Zhao Hao nodded slightly and said to James.
Zhao Hao didn't want to wait until the time came to develop Grand Theft Auto by himself, and when he was halfway through the development, he suddenly found that the engine was defective.
For game makers, passion and inspiration are the most important things, and if this kind of thing happens in the middle of development, it is a big blow to the enthusiasm of developers.
Many games that fail are not due to financial and technical reasons, but because the enthusiasm and inspiration of the developers are not enough for them to sustain themselves.
Rather than developing a defective product, it is better to give up halfway.
"Of course, we'll test it many times." Hearing Zhao Hao's words, James nodded.
As a game developer, James naturally knows what it takes for game developers. How important a good engine is.
Although it is not necessary to develop a game that is eye-catching with a good engine, it is not necessary to develop a game with a high level of playability if it is not possible to use a poor game.
But it is undeniable that it is an excellent engine, and it is indeed too important.
Otherwise, there will be no more and more companies investing large sums of money in the development and updating of their game engines.
Frost Engine. Source Engine, almost any major game company in the world, has a game engine that can represent its own company.
I talked to James about the development of the engine, and the manpower for the Grand Theft Auto project after the engine was developed.
A development team of at least 50 people is required. This is according to James.
Again, you don't need to be a realistic city, otherwise you might need more manpower.
"Boss, Tencent Games, I want to make an appointment with you to discuss some things." Just as Zhao Hao was talking to James, there was a sudden knock on the door, and after the assistant came in from outside the door, he said to Zhao Hao.
Nowadays, the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and if ordinary people want to meet Zhao Hao to talk, they need to make an appointment.
It's not that the shelves are getting bigger. It's because you will find that once a person's identity changes, there will be all kinds of troubles, such as self-righteous people selling Zhao Hao the games they made or himself.
or someone who is not capable of doing anything and wants to cooperate with Zhao Hao in the so-called way.
"Has anyone come?" Zhao Hao asked.
It should be that someone has already come, otherwise this assistant would not have come to inform Zhao Hao immediately.
If it is an ordinary enterprise, it is estimated that this assistant will wait for Zhao Hao to finish the negotiation with James, but after all, it is Tencent, which can be said to be one of the giants of domestic network companies.
Although it can't be compared to Google in the world, it can be regarded as a top existence.
Because of the instant messaging users in China. It's all in its hands, and it's getting stronger and stronger, as long as it's not the official level that hits it, then it will definitely not fall. It's already invincible.
Everyone can see this.
So this is also one of the reasons why Tencent's strategy has been so arrogant and aggressive in recent years, and it has to participate in almost any network field.
Nowadays, when it comes to stand-alone games, does it also have to participate?
Zhao Hao thought in his heart, but his movements were not slow. I followed the assistant to the reception hall.
When I entered the reception hall, I saw a middle-aged man in a suit, sitting on the sofa.
"Hello, Mr. Zhao." Seeing Zhao Hao, he quickly stood up and walked towards Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao had already asked his assistant before coming, but what Zhao Hao didn't expect was that the person who came turned out to be Ren Yu, CEO of Tencent Games.
"Mr. Ren."
Zhao Hao nodded, stretched out his hand and shook it, and then the two sat down.
"Online gaming?" After listening to Ren Yu's words, Zhao Hao frowned slightly.
According to Ren Yu's proposal, that is, Zhao Hao authorized Tencent to launch an online game that radiates OL.
"We won't sell the rights to Fallout." Zhao Hao looked at Ren Yu and said.
"It's not about buying the rights, it's about working with Spacegate to develop an online version of Fallout." When Ren Yu heard Zhao Hao's words, he couldn't help but laugh.
In fact, Tencent has not thought about the copyright of Fallout, after all, it has been rumored that Fallout has authorized Warner to launch movies, and the investment is not small.
The benefits that can be created by radiating this copyright are definitely not the slightest.
If you want to buy, Tencent can indeed pay so much money, but the benefits are less than the expenses.
"If the network is launched, then the charging standard of the game, as well as some game planning and development, etc., will be handled by us." Zhao Hao shook his head, looked at Ren Yu and said.
If there is any radiation OL, then according to Tencent's approach, there will definitely be a bunch of things that affect the balance of the game, which Zhao Hao does not want.
So far, the space door has been creating a good image.
If there is a radiation OL, then it is obvious that it is a self-smashing sign.
After all, it was a work dressed in radiant skin and with the bones of the space door.
"It can't be!" Hearing Zhao Hao's words, Ren Yu hurriedly shook his head.
In that case, wouldn't Tencent become a simple agent, only providing servers and waiting for dividends?
This is not in line with Tencent's strategic goals.
"Then I can only say I'm sorry." Zhao Hao shook his head and said.
"At present, the domestic online game market has reached 20 billion US dollars a year, and Tencent Games monopolizes almost 40% of the market. Looking at Zhao Hao, Ren Yu said in a deep voice.
Hearing Ren Yu's words, Zhao Hao couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head slightly, it was indeed a very tempting number, but obviously if it didn't feel too offended.
Zhao Hao will definitely say to Ren Yu: 'You haven't done enough homework, have you?' ’
You must know that with the sale of skin box keys in Fallout today, it can be said that a profitable radiation of 7 million US dollars has been created in less than a day, is there no so-called Fallout OL to make money?
And even if the latter is more profitable, Zhao Hao will never ruin his reputation, the space gate is not like Tencent, no matter whether the reputation is good or bad, it is in an invincible position, and the signboard of the space door is definitely more than just a little money.
What's more, he is currently a stand-alone game manufacturing company, not an online game company, although he has thought about making some money in the online game circle, but Zhao Hao still sees the overall situation very clearly (to be continued.) )
