A magical-style MMORPG?

Hearing Chen Lin's words, Lao Song and Lao Li were shocked.

Not because of the style of play, but because of the type of game!

Now who in the entire industry doesn't know that Penguin has several other capital companies that are trying to get involved in the big category of role-playing games?

It's like a penguin getting a head start and taking over the shooter category.

Role-playing is also the category with the largest player base today, and many manufacturers are staring at it.

One could even say that.

To be able to occupy a place in this category is equivalent to having the capital to gain a foothold in the game industry!

And it seems that the production cycle of this game is not short.

No wonder Chen Lin is so cautious.

Or rather.

Manufacturers of this type of game are very cautious.

"Huh? You're coming. ”

At this time, Chen Lin, who was chatting, noticed Lao Song and Lao Li and looked at them.

Liu Heng turned his head and looked puzzled: "Who are these two?" ”

"Lao Song, the director of operations, and Lao Li, the production director, usually hand over the project development and operation to them."

After Chen Lin explained, he introduced Lao Song and Lao Li: "He is my former art and design tutor Liu Heng, and he is also a professor at Binhai University, and I specially invited him to be an art director." ”

"We understand, we understand, I have heard Xiaoli say just now, Professor Liu can come to our studio, it really makes us shine."

The two hurriedly walked up and held Liu Heng's palm and greeted them warmly.

Because they all know that having such a figure in charge is absolutely beneficial and harmless to the flood famine.

In case people come up with any research results in the future and become giants in the academic world, then they can also follow suit.

After all, this professor looks to be in his fifties, much younger than other professors who are randomly seventy or eighty years old.

"You're polite, I'm just here to help my students." Liu Heng responded with a smile.

After some politeness, he looked at Chen Lin beside him: "By the way, what kind of game is the one you just said?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the attention of Lao Song and Lao Li shifted instantly.

and everyone in the art team also focused on Chen Lin.

Chen Lin didn't answer immediately, but asked rhetorically, "Have you heard of it, orcs?" ”

"Orcs? Fury kind? Lao Li said subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words came out, everyone's eyes became strange when they looked at him.

"Uh...... Don't get me wrong, it's just that a lot of people on the Internet have been saying it recently, and it happened to be brushed. ”

Lao Li finally reacted and hurriedly explained.

Since they logged in the AI program to the platform, there have been a lot of these kinds of pictures in the background database, and it is difficult to see them.

Chen Lin smiled and said, "It's not the kind you said, but another kind of orc, the more ferocious and wild kind." ”

"You mean the orcs from the magical background of the West?" Liu Heng's eyes lit up, "I did study similar art style design and dismantle bones for a while before, but if this is the case, it is not too difficult." ”

"What about the architectural style living environment?" Chen Lin hurriedly asked.

The content of that game was so huge that even he couldn't remember it clearly, and it wasn't easy to completely restore it.

"That's fine, I have a few assistants who have been researching this subject lately, and have collected a lot of information."

"Good! Then no problem. ”

Chen Lin breathed a sigh of relief, if there was no technical support from the other party, he was afraid that the project would continue to be shelved.

At that time, other manufacturers may have already released new MMO games to seize the market in advance.

Now everything is ready.

In a year, he should be able to launch the game.

"By the way, what's your game called?" Liu Heng asked.

Chen Lin took a deep breath: "Warcraft, this game is called World of Warcraft!" ”

……

New projects are finalized.

The entire Honghuang studio has also become busy.

Under the deployment of Lao Song and Lao Li, a new game special team was established, which was specifically responsible for the development of this epic masterpiece, and began to make preliminary preparations.

This game is mainly made to deal with the MMO market in the future.

Of course.

Chen Lin also knew that its production cycle was not short, so he was not in a hurry and let the new project team polish it slowly.

Their main center of gravity.

Or on top of other games.

When the production is completed, when the time is ripe, it is not too late to officially release it, so there is always a hidden means.

After all, which big factory doesn't have a few projects in progress?

As soon as the tuyere arrives, you can take it out directly and quickly seize market share.

This is also the reason why small factories are slower than large factories.

For a rainy day.

There's always nothing wrong with that.

But because of this, Chen Lin's mini-game plan came to naught.

There is no extra manpower, so there is no way to think about it for the time being, so I can only wait for a while.

"That's right, Lao Li."

Soon, he found Lao Li who was busy with his work: "How is the new PUBG map doing?" ”

"The test was completed a few days ago, and it can be launched at any time, do you want to go on it now?" Lao Li looked through the information and replied.

"Let's go, just take advantage of the heat of the game to cool down, and continue the heat, so that the sales should be able to exceed 10 million."

"OK, understood."

As soon as he heard about the tens of millions of sales, Lao Li suddenly came to his senses and hurried to do it.

Half an hour later.

An update announcement was issued, which instantly attracted the attention of a large number of chicken players.

[Flood Studio: In order to thank you for your strong support, "PUBG: Battle Royale" will be updated online at 8 o'clock tonight, with new content online. 】

[1. Added the Snow Country map "Vikendi Snowland".] 】

[2. Open custom mode.] 】

[3. Added a large number of TP cosmetic decorations.] 】

[4. The types of firearms and materials have been expanded. 】

[5. Added a weather system.] 】

【6、……】

A long line of updates is like a depth charge, blasting the circle of players apart.

"Updated! It was updated so quickly! ”

"I was just about to say that a map is a bit monotonous."

"Gun material expansion, cool!"

"What's this TP look?"

"the cow, even the weather system has it!"

The exclamations came one after another, and they all clicked on the game to check it out.

As soon as 8 o'clock in the evening arrived, there was really an update package of dozens of gigabytes, and it was free, and it was not sold as DLC!

"It's a loss, it's a loss, this wave of blood loss."

With so much content, if it were other manufacturers, I'm afraid it would have been made into DLC and sold a long time ago, how could there be such a conscience?

Delighted, players who had just finished dinner poured into the game to experience the new content.

Sure enough, as the announcement says, there is a new map, a round island covered in snow.

After landing on the island, the weather can sometimes turn into sleet and even accompanied by a blizzard, and the environmental realism is taken up a notch.

Some people are looking at the new TP store.

I found that there were a lot of costume skins that could be exchanged for in-game currency inside.

"Wow! This pan is so handsome! I want to buy it! ”

In the live broadcast room, Ouyang Xiao, who had just entered the game, exclaimed, and at a glance took a fancy to the appearance of the pan in the store.

There are other skins such as bunny head covers, camouflage guns, cowboy hats, etc., which can also be exchanged for TP, which is in-game currency.

"Let's go, let's play a few rounds to earn enough TP."

After that, Ouyang Xiao directly began to match the single-player mode and entered the new map.

As far as the eye can see, it is a frozen lake.

The players who come in are standing on the ice.

That's exactly what happened.

She noticed that more than a dozen people were gathered in the center, in several rows, as if they were having a secret meeting.

But when she walked over, she burst out laughing.

Because as she approached, dynamic music gradually sounded on the public channel.

And the dozen or so people also suddenly moved, dancing to the music and dancing the exclusive dance of the Axe Gang, which everyone is very familiar with.

"What is this, this is it, and the dance moves have been updated?"

Ouyang Xiao couldn't hold back, he still knew how to play.

It's only been a short time since it was updated.

Seeing this, the other players on the side also ran over to join in the fun.

As a result, after a while, the center of the ice surface became a scene of demons dancing, and laughter continued to echo in the public channel.

Meanwhile.

In the live broadcast room on the other side, Lao E was also shouting hard.

"Come on, come on, custom mode, H power plant bicycle race, motorcycle long-distance running drug circle competition has begun, sign up if you want to come!"

And unlike others.

As soon as Lao E was launched, he directly set his eyes on the new custom mode and gathered fans to hold a competition.

It's just this game......

It's not serious.

Through the custom mode, a whole bunch of weird rules have been made.

Ride a bicycle on the circle platform at the top of the H power station, wait for the poison circle to come, and then set off together to run to the safety zone, glider sky fight......

All kinds of competitions are even more outrageous than tricky shows.

It's just that the audience still loves to watch this, and the live broadcast room is so lively.

"I'm coming! Leave me a spot! ”

"Already on the way home, wait for me!"

"How can a mountain bike race be without me?"

"No, no, no? Wouldn't anyone really be caught up by the drug circle? ”

"It's too grassy, there are all kinds of rules, is this custom mode of Honghuang going to laugh at me?"

"It's a loss, this game 98 is selling at a loss."

I thought that PUBG before the update was outrageous enough.

I didn't expect it to be even more outrageous after the update.

On the basis of the original, a variety of small gameplay is added, which makes the playability of this game higher.

Ultimately.

It only took two months.

The sales of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" were unstoppable, successfully rushing into tens of millions of sales, causing a sensation on the whole network.

……

"Another game with tens of millions of sales!"

"Is Hong Huang taking drugs?"

"You don't take drugs so hard, do you?"

The major manufacturers were shocked, there was only one game of this kind, and they all burned incense and worshiped the Buddha, but there were two in a row.

plus "Monster Hunter", which just broke 1,000 some time ago, there are three in total.

Does this still make people live?

You must know that with the addition of more than two years, as well as the exclusive monopoly on the console side, the tens of millions of sales of games are just over 50.

The flood famine only occupies three places, which is outrageous!

Let them all have to pay attention to it and hold a meeting to discuss this matter.

"In fact, it is not difficult to find that every game in the flood wilderness is basically promoted with the largest amount of money, such as this "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", the research and development cost is estimated at 50 million, and hundreds of millions of funds have been spent on publicity and competition, which is more than twice the cost!"

"Why don't we try to spend a lot of money on publicity? Esports? ”

"To put it mildly, who would dare to invest more easily without determining the response to the game? Do you want the shareholders or not! ”

"It's true that those guys don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, and it's better to count on them than to use concept promotional videos to invest more."

“……”

In the end, the manufacturers were silent.

Although listed companies are as good as listed companies, they can open a project circle (cheat) to invest if they are short of money, but it depends on the faces of investors and shareholders.

If you make money, you have to be sucked by those guys first.

There wasn't much left in their hands at all.

And Honghuang, a lonely independent studio, earns as much as it owns, and it can't earn it directly, and it's difficult to get up.

In short, each has its own benefits.

Even if they are envious, it is impossible for them to transform.

"For today's plan, I can only bet on the next outlet."

"Penguin and several other companies have recently sent people to talk about agents, focusing on the MMO category, and there has been no big innovation for so many years, and it is estimated that they are holding back their big moves!"
