"How? Did the Flood Wilderness accept it? ”

Yiyou headquarters, inside the office.

The executive in charge of the development festival asked.

"Yes, though, they have conditions." The assistant replied with some hesitation.

"What conditions? If it's just a matter of sharing, I can call the shots and give them the same 80% as steam! ”

Today's flood is no longer what it used to be.

You can no longer look at it with the same eyes as you did when you looked at a small factory.

Since they want to build a PC platform, they naturally have to build a good relationship with each game manufacturer.

What's more, Honghuang also has three games with tens of millions of sales, even if those three game agents are discussed, they can attract a large wave of traffic.

Stay on top of player traffic.

This is the horror of the flood today.

"The matter of the commission was indeed said, but in addition to this, they also put forward a condition, because of the recent shortage of manpower, so there is no way to make medium and large games."

"Can't do medium-to-large?"

The man's brow furrowed.

His original intention was to hope that Hong Huang would support them for a big game, which would definitely attract many players.

But now, that plan has fallen through.

"It seems that the news uploaded on the Internet is true.,Hong Huang really transferred all the manpower to develop MMO games.,Okay.,Small games are small games.,Let's ease the relationship first.,Anyway, there are a few other large-scale stand-alone machines that have just been talked about.。

"Okay, I'll get back to them."

The assistant also knew that the main purpose of this invitation to Hong Huang was not to play a game, but to ease the previous stiff relationship.

As a platform provider, it's a very stupid thing to have a bad relationship with a game company.

What's more, it is still the existence of the flood that cannot be ignored.

Soon, he edited the message and replied to Hong Huang, inviting them to come over and sign the sharing contract.

Get it done.

The man on the side finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, the matter here is solved, and then I will contact a few other companies to see when their masterpiece can be completed, and our platform will be reset and launched during the winter vacation."

The Game Dev Festival is nothing more than a façade.

Its real purpose is to promote Yiyou's own platform and prepare to fully enter the PC field, so it must have enough game support.

For this.

They have received strong support from the capital behind them.

It's just to expand your game library.

Now everything is ready.

Just wait for the end of the year to launch the game during the winter vacation.

……

The other side.

Inside the Flood Wilderness Studio.

Chen Lin and others, who received Yiyou's reply, also held a small meeting in the conference room.

"I called you here today for the Game Development Festival of Yiyou, and I have a small project for you to do."

Chen Lin got straight to the point and said directly.

"Small project?"

"I heard that Yiyou has talked about several large-scale stand-alone machines this time, and the momentum is very strong, let's just make a small game in the past, will it not be good?"

There was a commotion among the people below, and they obviously all knew about it.

Other manufacturers come up with big productions, but they come up with a small game, and it always feels weird.

"It doesn't matter if he's good or not, we just accepted the invitation to participate in the event, and we didn't say how big we had to come up, and we couldn't compare with those big productions."

Chen Lin slowly spoke, indicating Hong Huang's position this time.

It was Yiyou who took the initiative to invite them, so it was up to them to decide what game to make, whether they wanted to love it or not.

Moreover, compared with other big factories before, it was because they were suppressed and had to fight back, so they tried to show all their strength.

They are not the ones who have requests for help today.

Naturally, don't take it too seriously.

"That'...... What game are we going to play this time? At most, there are only a dozen people on Daybreak's side. Lao Li on the side interjected and came in.

Then Lao Song spoke: "If you are here at dawn, you will arrange someone to do online game maintenance, and it is estimated that there are only seven or eight people." ”

Two teams, together there are almost twenty people.

What kind of game to make is really a difficult problem.

After all, it's autumn now, and the winter break is not far away, so you still have to think about game testing and optimization.

"Since time is pressing, why don't you just give up the picture accuracy and rely on the gameplay to support?" One of the team leaders proposed.

"That's a good idea, too." Lao Song nodded, "The Super Rabbit and Human Beings we did before were defeated, and it was by this kind of trick that the response was not bad." ”

"What about the gameplay? Both games are action-oriented, and you have to think of a new way to play. ”

"If the accuracy of the picture is not enough, I recommend simply taking the strategic route and reducing the proportion of operations."

"Isn't this a return to the battle flag gameplay we talked about earlier? Then just make a battle flag. ”

"Battle flags? Good idea! The most difficult part of this kind of game is the various rule calculations, which are completely sufficient for twenty people. ”

Employees chattered and recounted their ideas and suggestions.

Chen Lin, who was in the first place, listened silently, and gradually constructed a vague picture in his mind.

"The battle flag is indeed the best choice right now." He said, "What do you think of the sand table gameplay?" ”

"Sandbox?"

When everyone heard this, they fell into thought.

Immediately, my eyes lit up.

"Sand table war! Mr. Chen, let's do a sand table war, right? ”

One of the team leaders, who loves this kind of game, suddenly burst out excitedly.

When others heard this, a vague picture also appeared in their minds.

Or rather.

It is the childhood memories of each of them.

Not long since.

They have also bought all kinds of soldier dolls, and then got together, circled a place, put the soldiers on the field to fight, and naively dubbed themselves.

Bang bang bang –

biubiubiu——

Very simple to play.

But it can make them play all afternoon.

Combining this gameplay with Battle Banner is a good idea.

But if you add the character modeling like a ghost animal, it doesn't seem to work.

“em…… Wouldn't that be a bit silly? Lao Li said what everyone wanted to say the most.

"Haha, other people's battle flags are eager to make the chess pieces and map modeling to the extreme, and no one has ever done the ghost animal style."

"That's no way, this kind of game is not invested in a lot of places, and there are only a few places that can be improved."

"Then enrich the gameplay a little bit and make up for the shortcomings?"

Everyone looked at each other and fell into deep contemplation.

But he didn't notice that Chen Lin, who was in the first place, suddenly had a smile on his face.

Right now.

He finally remembered what that blurry picture was.

It seems that there is indeed a game that fits this design.

Thinking of this, he spoke again: "Try to join the class system, each class has different attributes and attack patterns, and you can fight freely through the player's matching, without being stuck in a fixed grid." ”

"What does Mr. Chen mean by instant free fighting?" The employees reacted, and a gleam flashed in their eyes.

"Yes, it's instant free fighting." Chen Lin nodded, "In the past, the battle flags also had chess pieces, but they were all limited to the grid, so the pace was too slow, and the threshold for entering the pit was too high. ”

"Indeed."

The crowd couldn't agree more: "The current battle flag gameplay is becoming more and more complex, which is a good thing for high-end players, but it abandons the largest number of ordinary players." ”

"So, why don't we just go all the way to the dark on the ghost animal road? Let those ghost beasts and chess pieces fight each other? ”

"Yes, it sounds pretty good."

"I agree too!"

As he spoke, everyone showed a knowing smile.

Ghost animal games, they are the best.

After all, it was by being a ghost animal that he became the team leader in the first place.

Seeing that they had no opinions, Chen Lin directly made a decision: "Okay, the project is so decided, I'll go back and get a detailed plan for you, and Lao Song and Lao Li will go to gather people first." ”

“OK。”

"Leave it to me."

After assigning the task, everyone dispersed and left, and went outside to prepare, while Chen Lin returned to his office.

Because he didn't have time to prepare a plan in advance, he had to start all over again.

Until noon the next day.

Finally, a simple plan was drawn up, printed out and handed over to the 20-person temporary project team.

"Total War Simulator?"

Several employees took the plan and gathered together to read it curiously.

"How? Is it difficult? Chen Lin asked.

This game is exactly what he has played before, a ghost animal-style sand table real-time war game.

Mainly because of the plans that have been made recently for large-scale games, he forgot about it, and finally remembered it after a meeting and discussion.

"No problem!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

After a brief look, the members of the temporary group replied one after another, with a look of surprise in their eyes.

Because the types of soldiers designed by this plan are so rich, even far more than any battleflag game they have ever seen!

For example, spearmen, shieldmen, musketeers, trebuchets, cannons, ballistas, and war elephants are just the most basic types of troops.

There are more than a dozen large categories in the back.

There are seven or eight units in each major category.

It's even more complete than an encyclopedia!

"If you have any new class designs, you can add them as well, as long as it doesn't seriously affect the balance."

After leaving a sentence, Chen Lin turned around and left.

The members of the task force gathered together and began to distribute their work.

In this way, everyone in charge of programming is assigned more than a dozen roles on hand.

The difficulty seems to be great.

But they have a flood of AI, and the basic code can be written quickly, and then they can modify it.

"Calculate it this way,It doesn't seem to take much time.,Just optimize and strengthen other aspects.,We're going to use the most scummy picture quality to flip those masterpieces!"

"Roar—"

Amid the chanting, the twenty members sat back in their seats and began to work on the production.

The entire Honghuang studio was once again in a state of hustle.

……

Time flies.

Winter is coming.

After two months of overwhelming publicity, the game development festival held by the Yiyou platform was finally officially launched.

For this day, manufacturers of all sizes have also riveted their efforts to promote the project and upload the game to the art game platform.

As long as players click on the homepage, they can see the special page of the event, and the whole site will be discounted by 20%, which can be said to be very strong.

Because of this discount, it is completely ceded by Yiyou to the game manufacturer.

The difference is paid by the platform.

"It's so cool, there are more than a hundred games on steam, and it only takes eighty or ninety here."

"There are a lot of games on Steam that have also been logged on to the art game platform!"

"I was reluctant to buy it before, but now I can finally do it."

"These masterpieces look good, so download them first and have fun."

"Just want to keep my heart? Do...... it? This game is also online art games? ”

Originally, the player base of the art game platform in China is not low, but it is not as good as steam.

Nowadays, the vigorous publicity, coupled with the discount tactics, naturally attracts more players to come.

Thereinto.

The most popular ones are naturally those masterpieces.

Although it has not yet reached the 3A level, it is also a rare boutique, and the sales soaring rate is very impressive.

"Very good, according to this situation, our domestic market share should exceed 15%, and it is not in vain that I will spend a lot of money to talk about these games."

The boss of Yiyou looked at the rising data and looked happy.

This data, for a gaming platform, is already very terrifying.

As long as they gain a foothold in the country, then they can enter overseas and continue to expand their influence, and it is not impossible to wrestle with steam when the time comes.

"By the way, what game did Honghuang release this time?"

Suddenly, the boss thought of something and asked.

"This ...... It seems to be a sandbox game of the war genre, and the volume is small. The project leader on the side replied hesitantly.

"Is that all?" The boss sighed, "That's right, after all, it's good to be able to make a game in such a short time." ”

"Forget it, our focus this time is to promote those masterpieces, remember to keep an eye on their movements, and report to me at any time."

"Understood!"

The person in charge responded and left in a hurry.
