Chapter 137 Chasing the Central Plains
And this new game platform has appeared in the eyes of the world.
Some games that are not completely original can be shared for free on the platform, while those that can prove the originality of the game can be sold electronically directly on the platform, and the platform will only charge a small royalty. Some developers with poor technical conditions can even apply for technical assistance from very game companies; Of course, in this case, the royalty will also go up a lot. Of course, that's not the most important thing --
With these easy-to-use and easy-to-use tools, as long as the materials are complete, ordinary people can complete a fully functional game in more than ten hours. It only takes a little effort on their part to turn their fantasies into games and make them.
Not long ago, Zhou Heng also thought of a way to directly solicit ideas from players; But such an idea is obviously not very feasible to implement. Inspiration and creativity are not valuable in themselves, and how to tell if an idea is good enough for a game is also a problem; If Zhou Heng could distinguish what kind of inspiration can make a good game and what kind of inspiration is not useful, there is no need to make such a big effort to create a reborn. Those who have been in the game industry for decades will use big investments to make dung, not to mention Zhou Heng, a newcomer.
What Zhou Heng wants is not to make novel games, but to make games that can be enjoyed by more people. Only by allowing the makers themselves to implement the idea of 'making the game right', rather than just turning a pop idea of playing a ticket into reality, can the things made not become as overflowing as inspiration - after all, inspiration itself is not valuable. Let the proposer of the inspiration put in a certain amount of effort, and in the process of working on it, directly link the actual level of the game to his own interests. in order to make the game more competitive.
Zhou Heng even thought of making these tools directly free cloth. But in the end, it didn't happen. Not being able to make money is a minor problem. Putting the kind of 'Trojan horse' virus that is used to strengthen the magnetic field in a game made with this tool is likely to be seen by some programmers. I made up a piece of code in the game that didn't know what I didn't know. And directly using a game platform does not have this kind of problem - Zhou Heng only needs to embed this kind of Trojan in the ontology of the platform.
In this way, this game platform was launched quietly, and for some developers, it was big news about the change of dynasty; Anyone can foresee the future of this platform, and Zhou Heng is no exception.
But even so, Zhou Heng was not satisfied with this. For most non-core players. The impact of this platform is not huge. There are not many players, and most of the players are still waiting; Even if some people have already started to do it, it will take a long time to get them familiar with the functions of those tools and complete the finished game. Zhou Heng's global magnetic field plan has been implemented more than halfway, and it will take a year and a half to get results, which is obviously too long.
In addition to some board games and some original mini-games, the content of the platform is still very small. In order to support the scene, Zhou Heng opened a few mini-games by himself. It didn't take much time for Zhou Heng to make these small games, and they were all well received after they were put up, but most players didn't play them again after just playing them once. It did not meet Zhou Heng's expectations.
It was Chen Xueliang, a reborn person, who solved this problem.
Zhou Heng asked Chen Xueliang about the opening policy of this platform. Chen Xueliang couldn't say why; Looking at his appearance, Zhou Heng could also know that he had never opened such a platform in that world. But even so, Chen Xueliang still gave Zhou Heng a surprise-
"I know a few friends who are playing card games, so it would be a good fit to ask them to open this kind of platformer."
"Oh? What friends? ”
"I met them online, and they were making a physical set of cards, which should be done soon. The content is very interesting, and it should be a good fit for our company. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Heng specially went to investigate. This is an original card game called "Chasing the Central Plains", the designer has expressed the concepts of recruitment, logistics, strategy, and marching in the form of cards, so that players can experience the charm of ancient warfare in this way. The game supports up to six players, but the opening is still very low, and what is now published on the Internet is just a framework.
Zhou Heng didn't understand this, but from Chen Xueliang's pretended professional words, he could also guess a rough idea - although it is still in the planning stage, but in the future, this will definitely be a popular card game. In order to get close to these developers, Chen Xueliang has made a lot of efforts, and has proposed many improvements.
When Zhou Heng didn't hesitate anymore, he asked Chen Xueliang to contact those who opened it. However, what I didn't expect was that the representative of the opener was an acquaintance - Shaguo, that is, the art girl who helped design the character of "Wind Country" at the beginning.
"How are you?"
"I'm not alone." The casserole said, "And it was made by a few friends. Because I know the company well, I let me talk about it. ”
"It's just a bit of a surprise that you've been doing this lately."
"It's just a matter of doing it when I'm bored," said the casserole, "and I didn't expect it to be taken seriously by our company in this way." ”
Because she wanted to continue her studies, after the completion of "The Land of the Wind", Shaguo only signed a part-time contract, occasionally helped "The Land of the Wind" draw a few character drawings, and took the part-time salary every month, and the employees at the same time as her were all on the road and entered the management, but she didn't look anxious at all. Over time, Zhou Heng forgot that he had such a subordinate.
Chen Xueliang obviously didn't know that this game was related to the old qualification of the sand pot, and he was taken aback on the spot. Looking at his table, Zhou Heng can probably guess the cause and effect of this incident. In that world, the relationship between the sand pot and Zhou Lu is good, although he should not have participated in the opening of "The Land of the Wind", but the relationship between Guò is likely to lead to some other aspects of interest cooperation. Chen Xueliang said that this card game has a 'good compatibility' with the company, probably because the operation and operation of this game are related to Zhou Heng.
The rise of this world itself is much earlier than Chen Xueliang's world, and now this card game called "Chasing the Central Plains" is still in the design stage; However, with Chen Xueliang's plug-in and a large number of resources in the company, this card game was quickly completed, and it was listed on the 'extraordinary game platform' and began to operate for free.
So, not long after the release of "Happy Shop", someone on the 'Very Game Platform' released another popular game in the future. In this war card game called "Chasing the Central Plains", it has been sought after by many enthusiasts as soon as it was released; The popularity has also begun to climb with the increase in the number of users of the platform.
With the resources and technology of the very game company, within a few weeks, this game has been expanded with the channel of the 'extraordinary game platform', and it has been distributed on handheld and mobile terminals, with more than one million registrations. Because of this simple and fun card game, several players became millionaires overnight; It makes other game makers in the world blush. The game platform of the very game company became an instant hit because of this. (To be continued!)
