Living room on the ground floor of the villa. Tian Jiayi sat on the sofa and began to take notes, while Fang Hong was pacing back and forth in the living room at the moment, and said methodically:

"First of all, this game should be a multiplayer online shooter, and its basic gameplay is that at the beginning of the game, you have to choose a team, you can choose to join an existing team or create a new team yourself."

"There will be a map in the game, where you will have to constantly search for weapons and equipment, ammunition, medical kits and other resources, while taking care to escape the attacks of other players' teams."

"The map will gradually shrink, and the player needs to reach the designated safe area within the allotted time, otherwise they will be harmed."

"The player or team left at the end of each game is the winner."

Fang Hong returned to the sofa and sat down next to Tian Jiayi, continued to recall some of the mechanics of the popular game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" in his previous life, and said:

"Up to 100 players can participate in the game at the same time, and they will be placed on an unknown wilderness map, and they must survive and fight against other players in the shrinking safe zone until one player or team is left to win, and this exciting survival competitive mode can give players a unique sense of accomplishment and challenge."

"The social interaction of this game should be very strong, in the game, players can team up with other players to cooperate, but also in the sandbox to meet other people and fight, this kind of multiplayer gameplay is very easy to attract players to interact and compete in groups, but also to provide players with a platform to show their own operations and competition, can cultivate a large number of professional streamers and gamer community, enhance the social and interactive nature of the game."

Fang Hong cares so much about this game, and even takes action himself, it is really the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" that is too popular, which impresses him in his previous life, so it can't fall into the hands of other platforms.

Since the launch of PUBG in 2017, its unique gameplay and exciting game experience have quickly attracted a large number of players, and in just six or seven years, the number of users worldwide has exceeded 300 million, and players around the world have played for more than 30 billion hours, and it is still being refreshed.

These numbers not only set a new record in the gaming industry, but also prove the huge impact of PUBG on a global scale.

Therefore, this game must be exclusively distributed by the game box platform.

After a while, Fang Hong listed all the creative ideas for the game, he provided the core creative gameplay, and the specific development was for the professional game development team to develop and supplement the details around its creative core.

"Oh yes, it's not just the PC port, the mobile version of this game has to follow." Fang Hong immediately added.

"Now we are preparing to set up the project, and there is a high probability that it will be launched before the end of the first half of 2016." Tian Jiayi said at the same time that with "Glory of Kings" Zhuyu in front of her, she now does not doubt Fang Hong's ability in game development, and believes that the creativity of this new game will most likely produce results.

"No, this game will be launched during the Spring Festival holiday in 2017." Fang Hong immediately denied it, adding: "In 2016, that is, next year, Blizzard Entertainment's "Overwatch" will be officially released and listed, I am very optimistic about this new game project, and let the game "Overwatch" be in the limelight in 2016." ”

If you have a good card in your hand, you can't play it all at once, this year's new game in 2015 is "The Witcher 3", next year's 2016 will be "Overwatch", followed by 2017 is "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" online.

These popular games not only have good earning power, but also can bring tens of millions of users to the platform.

However, it is worth mentioning that this type of battle royale game is not the first of its kind in PUBG, but H1Z1 developed by Daybreak, which was released on Steam in January this year.

The content of the game is that the player was born more than ten years after the outbreak of the zombie virus, and needs to live, and the player can build towns and fortresses in the game by himself, and there are many weapons made to meet people's needs.

The gameplay of this game is very new compared to previous gunplay games, and it has been popular with many players since its release this year.

However, "H1Z1" was not launched in China, so domestic players can only go to foreign servers to play.

And at the moment, there is a team of "Sequoia Army" composed of domestic players in this game, wearing red clothing, communicating with each other through in-game voice communication whether they are Chinese or not, and will also confirm the code, what "the king covers the tiger", "sing the national anthem", "which excavator technology is strong" and other code words.

If the code is matched to confirm that it is a countryman, they will help each other, and if it is not, the player will go on a killing spree.

The appearance of the Sequoia Army was brought up by a domestic streamer, because in the previous games, domestic players were often ridiculed and discriminated against by foreign players for no reason, and it was difficult to play without unity.

So the Redwoods appeared, and soon dominated the game as a team.

The other foreign players are all alone or a few people, and in the face of the Sequoia Legion's teamwork of dozens or even hundreds of players, foreign players are simply powerless.

Sometimes when you are surrounded by a group of Sequoia Army players, you will first voice to code, if you don't match it, you will kill it on the spot, and if you do, you will be given equipment or something, and become a member of the Sequoia Army team on the spot.

And domestic players have also found greater fun, as if opening the door to a new world, that is, to form a team to bully foreign players in turn, and hang them up to fight, a cool stroke.

Sometimes, when the Redwoods were chasing foreign players, they even made the outrageous operation of playing the charge in the voice.

If Daybreak, the developer of H1Z1, weren't stupid himself, the game would surely get more and more popular.

But he is stupid, and he has frequent faint moves.

For example, selling the game separately from "King of Killing", and then hoping for an e-sports comeback, only to fail in the first season, and then laid off 70 employees, which is about 30% of the company's total number of employees.

An even more stupid operation is to lock the region of players in Greater China, resulting in players attracted by the Sequoia Army directly missing their targets.

And at this time, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" appeared, this game set the right time, place and people, perfectly carrying these domestic players, the hindsight Daybreak company realized the problem and quickly lifted the lock, but it was too late.

At the end, Fang Hong looked at Tian Jiayi and added: "In addition, this game must achieve high image quality and low configuration, not too much hardware, and must be able to run smoothly on the computer in the Internet café." To do this, you can only rely on new technology, quantitative capital urged Chen Yu, the progress of the frost engine project is accelerated, and the game will be made with the AI engine. ”

Quantitative capital is doing the underlying technology, and the game engine is being handed over to Chen Yu.

Fang Hong actually wanted to buy Unreal Engine directly at the beginning, but this game engine was acquired by Goose Factory in advance three years ago, and other game engines are either not very good, or they are troublesome to acquire, and they may miss the opportunity.

So Fang Hong simply let Chen Yu's quantitative capital start his own stove, which led to the birth of the Frost Engine project.
