Chapter 258: Buy Ready-made!

Lilith took two steps in the living room and began to think seriously about the feasibility of this matter.

"Hmm...... MMORPG is in some ways better for collecting negative emotions.

"First of all, the stickiness of players in this kind of game is very high, after all, it is a strong socially driven game, even if it is abused, it will not be like a general single-player game, and it will quickly quit the pit.

"That's definitely good news for collecting negativity.

"Secondly, there are two main types of difficult challenges in this game, one is a large-scale PVE multiplayer team, and the other is a PVP battlefield and arena.

"And these two difficult challenges are also very suitable for collecting negative emotions.

"Large-scale multiplayer groups need to be well coordinated, and if there are one or two who can't play, a major mechanism of the boss is likely to destroy the group, and directly double the negative emotions; And being masochistic in the PvP battlefield is also likely to trigger negative emotions among players.

"In addition, an MMORPG that is not excellent will cause players to have all kinds of negative emotions.

"Whether it's network lag, vicious bugs, career imbalance, task reward mismatch, and being slaughtered...... These questions will make players unconsciously warm up.

"Ah, it's better not to have vicious bugs, but the more other problems the better!

"But here's the problem......

"Gu Fan, with the current development capabilities of our Antiheaven Games, can we make such a large-scale MMORPG game?"

Lilith pondered it seriously for a while, and really thought MMORPG was very interesting!

But in the end, it came down to the feasibility of demonstrating.

After all, the volume of Antiheaven Games at this time is still relatively small compared to those large game companies.

Gu Fan looked at her: "I said that I am only responsible for one type of game!" As for whether you can do it or not, that's your business. ”

Lilith was a little deflated: "Okay! ”

I have to say that she has gradually become accustomed to frequently asking Gu Fan's opinions when developing games, especially when encountering those game areas that she is not very familiar with.

Now that Gu Fan suddenly opened up, it really made her very uncomfortable.

But fortunately, the network is relatively developed now, so Lilith directly took out her mobile phone and did a simple search, and she had a general understanding of the relevant data.

In China, a very important reason why many companies do two-dimensional games and mobile games instead of MMORPG is that the cost is controllable.

Theoretically, an excellent two-dimensional game can be done well at a cost of about 20 million, but if it is replaced by MMORPG, the cost will have to be increased tenfold, starting at 200 million.

Even some popular MMORPGs are not surprising to invest 500 million, 700 million.

Of course, with the development of science and technology in recent years, the templates on the official platform have gradually matured, and the development cost has also decreased slightly.

But no matter how it declines, tens of millions of dollars are still necessary, and this is still not enough to ensure the quality of research and development.

Money is not a big problem for Paradise Games, and the current R&D funds are sufficient, even if the budget is really over, Lilith is willing to use her own small coffers.

And the bigger question is people and time!

Due to the deterioration of MMORPG in recent years, there are basically not many companies producing them, so we can only find data from a few years ago. At that time, the situation of MMORPG was not as bleak as it is now, and there were several popular works.

Generally speaking, if it is a more successful MMORPG game, it basically needs a large R&D team of about 400 to 600 people in China, and these are still regular employees, not counting all kinds of miscellaneous outsourcing employees.

If you count them all, it is not surprising that the number of people exceeded 2,000.

The R&D time starts in one year, and three years is not too much.

Whether it is the number of people or the time, it is not very affordable for the game of Heaven.

Of course, there are not enough people to recruit, with the current salary and reputation of the game, it is not a problem to recruit more people at all, but the problem is that recruiting more people may not necessarily solve the problem.

The expansion of the company's recruitment, just like the expansion of the army, must pay attention to the palm method.

Management is a science, if you want to recruit a team of hundreds of people, you have to manage the team in an orderly manner, then you need a large number of middle-level backbones to perform their duties and effectively complete the top-down jurisdiction.

If you blindly expand your recruitment and the middle-level backbone is insufficient, then this huge company is likely to fall into a half-body situation, and you can't use your strength in one place.

It is even more unreliable to directly recruit middle-level backbones from the outside, after all, before the real cooperation, no one knows what the ability of these people is, whether they are really powerful, or will they only fool the boss and investors to draw a big pie?

Whenever there is a problem in any link, the loss of salary is small, which affects the progress of the project.

Considering the various problems that may exist, if Reverse Heaven really plans to develop a passable MMORPG game by itself, it will be a high incense to be able to make it in more than a year.

Can Lilith wait a year? She couldn't.

She can't wait to launch a new game every two or three months to help her collect a wave of negativity.

More than a year, it's enough time for her to make four or five single-player games for disgusting players, maybe there will be a cash cow that collects a steady stream of negative emotions?

All in all, it doesn't seem to be a good deal!

Lilith was entangled, she first lowered her head and pondered for a while, then looked at Gu Fan, and stopped talking.

Gu Fan sighed silently, and seemed to be a little soft-hearted in the end: "Mr. Li, what do you want to say?" ”

Lilith just got off the donkey: "Time! I'd like to say time! It's too time-consuming to do this kind of game, and I can't wait. ”

Gu Fan was silent for a moment: "Mr. Li, the problem of time is not completely unsolvable. ”

Lilith was a little puzzled: "Huh? How to fix it? If you directly expand the team, you may not be able to speed it up! ”

Gu Fan was a little speechless, so he had to remind him more clearly: "Mr. Li, if you eat a meal, you can choose to raise chickens and grow your own vegetables." However, you can also go directly to the farmer's market and buy the chicken and vegetables grown by others. What's more, you can even ...... directly"

Lilith's eyes couldn't help but light up: "Order takeout!"

"Oh, you mean to say, let me eat it straight away?

"The same can be true for games?

"We're going to buy a game that's already been made about the same? Ay? That's a great idea! ”

Lilith instantly felt as if she had opened the door to a new world, and the problems that existed before were naturally gone!

What should I do if I don't have enough manpower?

Buy a ready-made, anti-heaven game is only responsible for subsequent updates and maintenance!

If the development team of an MMORPG game is only a few dozen people, it sounds quite unreliable, but if the follow-up operation team of an MMORPG game can have dozens of people, it feels like there are plenty of people.

What if the development time is too long?

Or buy ready-made!

When the time comes, Reverse Heaven will spend two or three months raiding and making minor repairs to this game, as long as the special needs given by Lilith can be completed, then the game can also be launched as scheduled.

When you think about it, it's really quite appropriate!

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll immediately find out if there are any similar game projects on the market and talk about the acquisition!

"Gu Fanling has worked hard this time, take a good rest first, and after I roughly screen out a few games, then you, the president, will check it!"

After Lilith finished speaking, she disappeared happily.

Gu Fan was in his heart, what a good rest, obviously, Lilith still didn't trust him very much.

In the matter of finding ready-made MMORPGs, Lilith obviously plans to make a double insurance: first find someone to conduct a nationwide screening to find some suitable ones, and then let Gu Fan conduct a second round of screening.

Gu Fan and the people in the first round of screening don't know each other at all, so the probability of screening out problems is naturally greatly reduced, and it is even more difficult to get tired.

But Gu Fan doesn't care, under the condition that Lilith is wary of him in every way, he can't really be 100% sure of success every time, and he can only take one step at a time.

I just don't know what kind of MMORPG game Lilith will find?
