The person who may be the first to make a game platform in the world and put forward this concept is the current Qingzhiyuan.

However, in fact, last year, China has produced an online chess and card game hall, called [Lianzhong World Game Hall], which is mainly to provide players with online chess and card game services.

In the past life, Lianzhong also had an old rival called Winger Games, but the company's board game lobby was not launched until 2000.

At present, the Lianzhong game lobby has more than 100,000 registered users, and this number continues to grow, with an average of 2,000 people online every day.

It's just that up to now, Lianzhong has not been able to find any particularly good way to monetize, which is actually a very important problem that plagues many people engaged in the Internet industry.

Although it has a large number of users, at best, it is advertising for other companies, and advertising revenue has become the bulk of the game platform.

Even Lianzhong's fame is too small due to lack of money to advertise, and there is no opportunity to connect to advertising until now, Bao Yueqiao, Jian Jing, and Wang Jianhua, the three founders, have not paid themselves wages for almost a year, and the funds prepared by the company when it was established have been spent almost to the point of exhaustion.

Lianzhong is not the first to do online chess and card halls, in 97 years, a Chinese Polaris company has been doing this thing, but did not think of a profit model, but the game hall as a simple computer mounted software to sell, sold to some telecom operators, and then a set of sales for more than 100,000 yuan.

The user scale is also quite small.

Because the place where the seed of Lianzhong grows is still a slightly remote soil, at least in the world, everyone's awareness of the online platform is still relatively small, so the game platform brought by Qingzhiyuan this time has given everyone a great sense of freshness.

Even if Qing Zhiyuan shouted the slogan that 200,000 people can be online at the same time, everyone on the scene did not have much concept of how many people were online on the game platform.

If it's a game, it should be a good result to be able to sell more than 200,000 copies, but it won't be a surprise jaw drop, after all, the annual sales of a Pokémon game are millions, and even tens of millions, so it's called a behemoth.

If you look at it as an Internet site, 200,000 doesn't seem like much.

Today, the average number of visits to the P-net portal is about 10 million per day.

(This is still the case of P-net's dominance, you must know that after the development of the Chinese market in the future, the website list is in the number of daily visits in hundreds of millions.) ）

If you think of it as a real casino, it seems unlikely that you'd be looking for such a place in reality.

But these are secondary, the problem is that until now, just listening to Qing Zhiyuan's description,

Kutaragi Ken, including the bigwigs of other game companies on the scene, didn't think too much about how to make money with this thing for a while.

Shouldn't it take a long time to think of it as a website or something?

It took so much effort to make a casual game platform for players to come up and play chess and cards and do some simple socialization?

I don't understand.

……

But Qing Zhiyuan didn't care so much, the later they figured it out, the better.

Speaking of things that are commonplace for the younger generation in the future, such as online top-up and payment, membership system, corporate advertising...... This series of monetization methods seems to be a simple and logical thing, but in reality, the process of exploring it is quite long.

Take the game platform as an example, to really find a way to make profits, Lianzhong was established in 98, and it was not until 2000 that it shared money with China Telecom for the first time, and there was a little income, and at the end of 2000, it finally gritted its teeth and opened the membership system.

The process took more than two years.

The same goes for QQ.

From the beginning of 99 years, it has been burning money, to opening a membership system, selling accounts, QQ space, until 2003, QQ game hall, it is finally possible to truly realize the user traffic.

So it's not that people are not smart enough now, it's just that due to the limitations of the times, you can't see the future when a lot of things appear.

The most important thing is that the network recharge is not in the scope of contemporary people's thinking.

After introducing the dandelion game platform, Qing Zhiyuan smiled and paused slightly, giving everyone a little time to digest.

"As you all know, our company has always liked to make ecological games, such as Pokémon World, and then to the Insect Master World, and this time, we hope to bring a more real and magical world to everyone."

He turned around and let out the big screen behind him, "Everyone, the world of Monster Hunter, I hope you can enjoy it." ”

As his voice fell, the lights dimmed throughout the scene.

At the same time, the promotional video that P Company had prepared long ago was played on the big screen:

……

There was a chorus of insects and birds, and the picture turned from darkness to light.

The green vegetation covers the earth, the sky and white clouds overhead, the sun in the sky is brilliant, baking the earth, and it is now the summer vacation of June, and you can feel the heat even when you watch this video content.

After a few seconds, the BGM suddenly sounded, it was a gorgeous symphony, majestic and powerful, making people feel a magnificent scene.

Some big birds fluttered their wings in the sky.

And under the white clouds, there is a magnificent and majestic waterfall, and the water above is like a huge wall, rushing down, stirring up a white mist in the pool below.

When the screen switches again, it becomes a large green meadow full of life.

And a huge group of herbivorous dragons are marching through the meadow in large groups.

These herbivorous dragons look very different from what players think, but they have a sense of realism, they have giant horns similar to those of a deer, but they are connected in the middle, and only the top part forms the shape of a branch, which looks like a large plaque on the top of their heads.

Compared to the strong and oval belly in the middle, the head appears slightly smaller.

But even so, the bunch looks huge.

In order to allow players to have a better visual contrast, Pokeni specially added some human characters in the game trailer -

They were dressed in heavy fur, but in a modern fashion, and a young girl was standing in the middle of the field, putting a pergola on her forehead with her hand and looking into the distance.

If you compare it to these humans, you will see that the herbivorous dragons are really large, a little taller than humans.

……

As soon as the game screen came out, screams rang out at the scene.

"Wow, really? P Society's games are too exquisite, right? ”

"Other games are not at the same level as Monster Hunter."

It's not just the skin textures, skin colors, and changes in the light that are shown in the game that make people feel lifelike, as if such creatures really exist.

And the characters in the game are also quite exquisite, not only with very smooth character lines, but also with more refined facial expressions, the entire mannequin and skin textures, and all aspects of the action are beyond the player's perception of the game.

One of the tricks of Pokeni is that when they designed the characters, they did not create them according to real characters, but took the route of Japanese Westernization like the witchers before them.

It seems that the faces of the characters are more two-dimensional aesthetic, but they combine many Western elements, such as hair of various colors, and the armor they wear is more Western fantasy, which makes the game more adaptable and can be loved by players from different regions.

"The games made by P Club are too good, right? Monster Hunter directly crushes other games, in terms of performance. ”

……

In the picture, several herbivorous dragons are eating with their heads down, nibbling on some emerald green food that cannot be named, and at this moment, a herbivorous dragon suddenly raises its head and widens its eyes in horror.

There was a roar in the background.

The other herbivorous dragons straightened their necks and ran in panic.

It turned out that a group of short blue guys appeared in the distance-

They have skin as blue as the sky and sea, and are small in size, walking upright, but still dinosaur-like, with sharp teeth, flat mouths, and very destructive claws.

These creatures are called blue speeds, and they attack the herbivores as soon as they appear, and several of them run very fast, and they form an effective triangle with each other, jumping up the back of one of the herbivorous dragons, and then opening their mouths and biting each other's throats.

The herbivorous dragon fell, and several other blue dragons pounced on him.

Seeing this scene, some players couldn't help but cover their mouths, as if they couldn't believe that there was harmony just now, and now it turned into a killing field.

Everyone is not unfamiliar with this scene.

Because there is a similar plot in "Jurassic Park" released in 93.

In fact, Monster Hunter borrows a lot from Jurassic Park, or from the ancient creatures that existed in history but have become extinct.

Dinosaurs are the ones that have been borrowed the most, and although they have been redesigned and remodeled, some of the features are still very obvious.

For example, the Blue Speedosaurus is almost a replica of a predator like a velociraptor dragon.

……

……

And just as the Blue Speeddragons were about to enjoy the food in front of them, suddenly a huge claw slapped to the side, shaking the earth.

At this time, the camera is also very horizontal, almost attached to the horizon, with one of the blue speed dragons as the protagonist [shooting].

The audience was also taken aback by the sudden paw.

The camera zoomed in a little farther, and in front of the Blue Speeddragon, an even more frightening behemoth appeared-

Female fire dragon.

The female dragon had a body several times larger than that of the Blue Speed, and almost as far as you could see, one of its claws was already larger than the Blue Dragon.

And in its open bloody mouth, there was a faint flame burning, and its sharp fangs were lined up on both sides, and it looked like a very ferocious carnivorous king.

Compared to the previous Jurassic Park feeling, the female fire dragon is more like a guy who came out of myths and legends.

Or rather, the image of the dragon created by DND.

It has wide wings, a long, spiky lizard tail, a large forehead, a crocodile-like beak, and fierce claws.

The roar alone was deafening.

The effect of the scene, coupled with the performance of the big screen, is really shocking.

……

After showing the entire island landscape and the various creatures that appeared on it, the female fire dragon soared upwards and soared through the mountains with huge wings.

Then he rushed to the prey below and fought the other monsters.

As a link in the entire biological chain, humans must not only survive in this world, but also build weapons and equipment.

After getting dressed, the hunters set off in full gear.

They ran across the grassland, and in the sky the female fire dragon was lured into attacking.

Just as it spread its massive claws and lunged down towards one of the hunters, the young brave hunter raised his gun and fired at the camera.

Bang!!!

The fire exploded.

This is the end of the promotional video.

There are big words in the picture -

《MONSTER HUNTER》

……

There was silence at the scene, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

After about two seconds, thunderous applause rang out, and it lasted for a long time.

"It's so shocking, this is a whole paleontological world plus the guys who appeared in myths and legends have been directly moved into the game.

It seems that people have an urge to experience it. ”

"Wow, is this a game of Jurassic Park? This game completely poked my little heart, and when I used to watch Jurassic Park, I thought if it would be great if it would be made into a game.

The thought of being able to fight against the legendary behemoths and investigate and collect all kinds of flora and fauna is very exciting. ”

"Monster Hunter, is that what you mean? The one who hunts monsters.

This game looks like a lot of fun. ”

"P Society directly made the game to the sky, creating such a colorful 3D world, which is very realistic, and both the model and the scene performance can be said to be the world's top."

"Not only is it the best in the world, but it feels like it's at least a few years ahead of its time."

"Pokeni is amazing, isn't it? Whether it's from the expressiveness of the game's graphics or from the game world just shown, I feel like I can give 100 points. ”
