Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Engine Is Perfected
The call was from Steam, and some of the specific things mentioned were similar to the news that Liu Dong had called before, about the lawsuit of the Lego Group.
At the same time, tell Zhao Hao not to worry, the legal side is responsible for the valve side, and Zhao Hao does not have to worry about it.
Regarding these lawsuits, the legal team of Zhao Hao's studio naturally cannot be compared with Valve's legal team.
They are still competent in the drafting and signing of some contracts, but this kind of large-scale lawsuit involving tens of millions, hundreds of millions, if Zhao Hao really wants to fight, he still has to hire those more professional and experienced legal lawyers.
After turning on the computer, Zhao Hao took a look at the news, and sure enough, the news on the webpage was overwhelmingly full of news about the Lego Group was going to sue the Space Gate Studio.
And some of them, like Tencent News and NetEase News, have comments under these portals.
Some despise Zhao Hao's space door plagiarism, some support Zhao Hao's space door, and some trolls who spray simply for the sake of spraying.
shook his head, he was too lazy to pay attention to these song reviews, if he always cared about these, I was afraid that Zhao Hao himself would have to be angry with himself.
In addition to the comments under these news, what annoys Zhao Hao even more is that there are all kinds of trolls on the official forum of 'Minecraft' and under Zhao Hao's scarf message.
For these trolls, Zhao Hao will never respond positively, and can ban them through permission, and delete them if they are deleted.
As for the positive response, just positively, that only makes these clowns more excited.
I'm not afraid that you will delete the reply and ban the speech, but I'm afraid that you will act as if you didn't see it, and the birds are not birds.
"By the way, Tolia, what have you been up to lately?" Preparing to go out to the studio to have a look, Zhao Hao happened to see Torya in the living room, with a blanket on her body, a notebook in her hand, and a mouse click, asked with some curiosity.
These days Tolia is not the same as before, she doesn't play games, she doesn't watch TV series, anime, and she doesn't know what to do in front of the computer all day long.
Somewhat curious, Zhao Hao leaned over and looked at the screen on Toria's computer.
But when Zhao Hao saw it clearly, his eyes couldn't help but open wide, and his face was incredible.
Damn, what the hell is this?
Comics, Toria drawing comics?
Looking at the comic tools on Toria's screen, as well as the page of comics that had just been drawn, Zhao Hao's face was full of incredulity.
"I'm idle and bored, I just taught myself how to draw comics, how about it." Looking at Zhao Hao, who was leaning his head closer, Tolia moved her head without a trace, and said a little proudly, and at the same time turned the computer screen slightly, facing Zhao Hao.
"That's good." Looking at Toria's comics, the corners of Zhao Hao's mouth couldn't help twitching.
To be honest, this cartoon drawn by Tolia is really a bit abstract, at least Zhao Hao didn't see what the hell he drew after watching it for a long time.
"You know how to lie, it's obviously ugly." Hearing Zhao Hao's words, Toria pursed her lips and deleted everything she had just drawn.
Knowing that you still asked me, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and Zhao Hao looked at Torya speechlessly.
"Well, sooner or later, it will improve." Zhao Hao didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort him like this.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to practice, I'd better play a game." Shaking her head, all the comic tools were turned off, and Tolia pouted.
Then open the game skillfully and log in to your account.
Compared with those games that are more open, free, and more technically tested, Tolia prefers to play those domestic online games that are full of money, and then rush some money into them to wreak havoc on civilian players.
Looking at the god dressed up and running back and forth on the map, and occasionally seeing Torya, who was directly second to the red name, Zhao Hao couldn't help but be speechless for a while.
"Fun and fair game is abused, this kind of game you abuse, do you think that is more interesting?" Hearing Zhao Hao's question, Torya couldn't help but glance at Zhao Hao and said.
It makes sense, I can't find any reason to refute it.
Shaking his head, no longer bothering about these questions, Zhao Hao got dressed and prepared to go out.
"Anyway, it's time to think about changing places, being in the city is in the city, and the land in the eastern suburbs seems to be building a science and technology district, so maybe you can pick a good place when the time comes." Touching his chin, he thought to Zhao Hao while driving.
It is naturally more convenient to change the studio headquarters to a large city, but if you talk about the current benefits, I am afraid it is not as good as being in this city.
After all, it can be said that in this city, Zhao Hao's relationship with the above is not bad, generally as long as it is not illegal, it is a blind eye, and some policies will be more favorable.
If you change to some international big cities, I am afraid that it will not be so good.
When Zhao Hao arrived at the studio, he went directly to James's floor.
Although Liu Dong and Li Hua both work in the same office building, the two projects in charge of 'Minecraft' and 'Fallout' are not on the same floor.
The current R&D funding is $1.5 million, which is just the initial fund, and additional funds will be added when it is used up.
According to Li Hua and James's previous estimates, with their current capabilities, if they want to make the game to the extent that Zhao Hao needs, they need a budget of at least 7 million, or even more.
In other words, if you want to recoup your investment, even if a game costs $50 and the studio makes a profit of $30, it will have to sell nearly 300,000 copies to make a profit.
High profits, high risks.
The gaming industry is actually the same as the film industry, which is this kind of high-risk, high-reward industry.
Although there are small and large low-cost productions like 'Minecraft', there are more of them that burn money.
And once it fails, then I am afraid that what awaits the company's producer is bankruptcy, or even debt.
"Wow!"
"Great!"
"Perfect!"
As soon as he walked into the door in charge of the radiation project, Zhao Hao heard a burst of cheers coming from the room.
"Anything exciting?" Pushing open the door, Zhao Hao looked at the people hugging each other inside and asked.
"Brother Zhao."
"Boss, why are you here?" Seeing Zhao Hao, James and the others showed a hint of surprise on their faces.
"Come and see you guys, is there any progress? I was so excited just now. Zhao Hao smiled and looked at everyone and asked.
Hearing Zhao Hao's words, James and Li Hua glanced at each other, and then Li Hua walked out and said to Zhao Hao with some excitement: "Of course, Brother Zhao, our game engine has been completely perfected, and the most important physical system is almost complete with AI logic control, according to Brother Zhao's game setting, the most important thing in this game can be said to be the physical effect and AI design, we have completed all these problems, and we are ready to start making maps, and then there is model construction." ”
"I'll take a look." Zhao Hao was also a little excited, and came to the computer to take a look at the demonstration effect of the new engine.
