Chapter 499: Lengthen the Fishing Line
"Supernova battles?"
“SF?”
"Does it have anything to do with that Supernova Era you bought, boss?"
Two days later.
Three-Body Game, inside the general manager's office.
Listening to Gu Xiu's next work arrangement, Luo Xiang couldn't help but become curious.
He didn't expect that.
The first time the boss came to the three-body game, it was once again asked to expand the new game that had been modified for the second time.
The first is the name of the game.
Supernova Battles!
It's not that eye-catching, and if it weren't even for the fact that the boss had bought the rights to a science fiction novel called Supernova Era.
Luo Xiang didn't even know what the name meant.
Naturally.
He thought of this for the first time.
Gu Xiu didn't hide anything, and nodded directly:
"The two do have a relationship, and I plan to put this game on the shell of the supernova era, which can be regarded as the basis for determining the background of the game."
"Game background?" Luo Xiang suddenly became weird.
Stop.
It's a strange thing.
As we all know, the game industry is now developing savagely, and even a few years ago, games were basically not related to backstories and the like.
It's not that previous games didn't have backstories.
It's mostly thin.
Although in today's stand-alone circle, the requirements for the game plot and game background are getting higher and higher.
But......
That's a single lap!
Is it necessary to engage in this in online games?
"It wasn't necessary before, but now it's necessary."
Gu Xiu saw Luo Xiang's doubts and explained casually:
"If we plan to make money, and if we want to become the most profitable game company, we have to have a fist product that really belongs to us."
"If a game wants to be commercially successful, it can be successful just by relying on our previous private server or web game."
"But the ceiling is not high."
"Since you plan to do it well, let's make an irreplaceable game."
This is what Gu Xiu really thinks.
Engage in games.
It's easy to make money.
But if you want to make money continuously, and even want to become the most profitable game company in the world, you can't just make a fool of people.
There will be more to consider.
Gamers can laugh at themselves for being fools, but game companies can't really fool players for fools.
Even if you fall in love with someone's wallet, you have to be qualified to cheat money, right?
said this to Gu Xiu.
Luo Xiang is a little bit of a seeming understanding.
He actually wanted to say that he had made a lot of money by following the boss to engage in private services, and he made a lot of money from page games later.
This proves that the boss's model is correct, and we should not waste this effort.
But......
As a smart man, he did not refute the boss's orders, but changed his perspective:
"It's a good thing that you want to make this game well, but if we make a lot of adjustments now, our game development process may be extended again."
That's what worries him the most.
Speaking of this new game, it can really be regarded as a bumpy one.
At the beginning, the plan was to call CS World, which means very simply, to tell everyone clearly.
This game is the internet-connected version of Counter-Strike.
However, due to the pigeon release in Villefort, the boss simply reversed the idea and kept the original frame in favor of replacing a large number of models, models of characters, guns and props.
However, at that time, the name of the game had not yet been determined, and even the code name used was still the code name of the original CS OL.
Now, the game is almost complete, and it will be officially launched soon.
The boss is still coming to this one......
This can really slow down efficiency.
"Don't worry, although I have increased the background, the overall development progress of the game will not be affected too much."
Gu Xiu understood Luo Xiang's concerns and asked, "Have you read the book Supernova Era?" ”
Luo Xiang shook his head.
If you were a science fiction fan like Ma Huateng, you might have read it, but Luo Xiang himself is not interested in science fiction books.
I don't usually have a hobby in this area.
"It's actually quite a wonderful book, and the angles are very strange." Gu Xiu says:
"The background is simpler."
"To put it simply, because a supernova suddenly exploded, which led to a catastrophe, the whole world was changed, and adults could not survive in the post-disaster world, so the world was all controlled by children."
"In layman's terms, it means that all the local governments, soldiers, and all the people in all institutions have become children."
"In the same way, the world has war."
"And our supernova battle, which I plan to take place in such a context, can be a battle between two or even multiple camps."
"It just so happens that at present, our weapons and character models are all made according to cartoon-like shapes, and most of the scenes are also sci-fi, so what has been completed does not need to be changed."
Gu Xiu's analysis here was clearly organized.
But Luo Xiang on the side couldn't help but look weird.
Little kids rule the world?
It's not ......
"What, is there a problem?" Gu Xiu asked.
"No, no problem!" Luo Xiang shook his head without hesitation.
Although he felt that this background was a bit outrageous, according to the boss.
It seems to work, too.
"That's it." Gu Xiu nodded:
"Of course, this background framework is just to set a tone, and there won't be too much detail in the game, and our main focus is still on gameplay."
"Adding a game background framework is just for subsequent iterations of the game version and keeping players sticky."
"At the same time, when the subsequent version is updated, or new kryptonite points are added, there can be a justifiable excuse."
Is the background of the game important?
In fact, it is not that important in this day and age.
Gu Xiu is a pragmatic person.
If this game is profitable.
Then how to continue to make money is the problem.
And the existence of a game background can make this earning power a sustainable thing!
Lengthen the line!
It turns out that what Gu Xiu said was right.
Adding a game background isn't a problem for a game project that is already a work-in-progress.
After Gu Xiu's order was issued, the entire original CS project team directly changed the brand on the same day.
Supernova Project Department!
Not even the staffing has changed, and the work has only increased the workload of a few artists.
It really doesn't affect the progress of the work.
And at these times of speeding up, Gu Xiu, who is sitting in the three-body game.
I didn't sit idle.
Opposite.
He began to advance the progress of the game project himself, and even skipped the development progress directly, leaving the game as a game that had not yet been fully hatched.
Enter a new phase!
