Chapter 104: Mobile Games

The launch of the banquet DLC is not only an explanation to the players of "Simulator Under the Fence", but also a necessary measure to enrich the game content.

Because along with this DLC, there is also the Tianba Hotel!

Tianba Real Estate is responsible for building and selling houses, Tianba Decoration is responsible for decorating houses, and Tianba Hotel provides venues and dishes for hosting "housewarming and new home" banquets......

"I see!"

After listening to Brother Ba's explanation, Xiao Lu drew inferences from one another: "Then the next DLC of "Simulator Under the Fence" should also have a Tianba company to provide players with a variety of services. ”

For example, Tianba Hospital, Tianba 4S store, Tianba Crematorium, Tianba Funeral Home......

"That's right!"

Chen Ba nodded.

The game "Simulator Under the Fence", because of its size and underlying code logic, actually has a lot of potential.

This is not the same as "Cold Window Bitter Reading Simulator".

Although the two are the same type of games, the foundation of "Cold Window Reading Simulator" is too poor, after all, it is a game completed by Chen Ba independently, and many foundations have not been laid.

The simulator under the fence has learned the lessons of the previous work, and has done a better job on the basis of the underlying logic and framework, and there is more room for expansion.

If you keep updating, keep introducing new game modes and gameplay, and keep improving the size of the game, this game has the potential to become a "Sims" kind of game.

Of course!

It's just a possibility......

To achieve the level of "The Sims", it may need to be filled with hundreds of DLC content, and the amount of work is too large.

"It's okay, take your time!"

Xiao Lu felt that although the amount of work was very large, if he worked hard in this direction, there would definitely be such a day in the future.

A lot of games are not complete as soon as they come out!

If "Sending People Under the Fence Simulator" really has this hope, then fix a few DLCs every year and stick to it.

If it doesn't work for two years, then three or five years, or even ten years!

With the continuous enrichment of DLC content and the continuous expansion of the game, it is possible that this game will become the next "Sims" one day in the future.

"You're right, but don't you think it's too slow for us to contribute to Simulator Under the Fence?"

Chen Ba said with a smile: "As the saying goes, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high!" Instead of us slowly adding content, why not let players do the work for us and enrich the game's content? ”

Workshop!

After the opening of the creative workshop of "Divine Grace Continent", a large number of highly creative and brain-thinking works emerged, which made Chen Ba have an immature idea.

Since "Simulator Under the Fence" has great potential, relying on Tianba Studio to fill in the content is not only troublesome but also time-consuming.

So why not open up the Workshop and let players fend for themselves?

"Makes sense."

Xiao Lu couldn't help but think: "If the creative workshop is opened and the enthusiasm of the players is fully mobilized, it will indeed progress much faster." ”

Anyway, with the efforts of players, "Simulator Under the Fence" may really become popular for the second time and become the new king of simulation games.

After all, the foundation of this game is really good, and it is entirely possible to become the second "The Sims".

"Then I'll leave it to you!"

"I'll go to Zhonghai next door to receive an award first, and when I come back, I hope to see a different "Simulator Under the Fence"."

"Claim the prize?!"

When Xiao Lu heard this, he suddenly became a little curious, what award did Brother Ba go to Zhonghai to receive? It's not awards season yet!

"The Golden Crab of the Year held by the Animation Association, the best web animation was awarded to "The Adventures of Jayne", and I was a special guest ......"

When Chen Ba said this, his mood was extremely complicated.

I really guessed right for Xiao Lu.

He meowed, the best online animation this year, and it was really awarded to "The Adventures of Jayne", which has exceeded 1 billion views on the whole network.

If you can't get it from TGA, let's go to the animation industry next door to receive an award!

Although the Golden Crab Award sounds very low, in the domestic animation circle, the gold content is still very high, and it is by no means a pheasant award.

……

Early the next morning, Chen Ba met with Qian Xin and got on the high-speed train to Zhonghai.

Qian Xin was invited to participate in this year's Golden Crab Award ceremony as the director of the animation "The Adventures of Jayne".

And Chen Ba is the producer.

One of them is the UP owner of the game area before Thunderbolt, and the other is the head of the game studio, and they have nothing to do with animation.

But the game "Divine Grace Continent" brought the two into the animation track. Chen Ba is okay, he has not deviated from his original intention, and still considers himself a game producer.

Qian Xin is different.

Probably the title of "Qian Dao", which sounds better than the previous screen name of "Qian Duoduo", he doesn't say that he is the UP master of the game area now, but calls himself an animation director.

Of course!

Qian Xin has never made a game video since "The Adventures of Jayne" became popular, and has devoted himself to the field of animation production.

Saying he's an animation director isn't wrong.

"Brother Ba!"

"Have you ever thought about setting up an animation company? With your strength, it shouldn't be a problem to sweep the animation industry, right? ”

Sitting on the high-speed train to Zhonghai, Qian Xin asked some questions about the personalization of "Divine Grace Continent" out of curiosity.

What he is most curious about is, will Brother Ba enter the field of animation and set up a special animation company to produce divine grace animation?

"Didn't think about it!"

Chen Ba decisively denied: "I sell software to collect tolls, how easy it is to make this money!" Entering the field of animation, not to mention offending people, is the software still sold? ”

If you can earn money lying down, why stand still?

In Chen Ba's view, relying on the game "Divine Grace Continent", it is already very fragrant to sell software honestly and charge 30% of the toll.

As for what animation to do across the line, isn't that full? Besides, he can only make games, and the risk is too high!

"It's also ......"

Qian Xin thought about it, and suddenly felt that what Brother Ba said was right.

Animation and games are two different fields, and Brother Ba can mix well in the game industry, which doesn't mean that he can mix in the animation field.

The simplest truth.

No matter how good a movie you are, if you don't have a theater to release it, won't it be over?

"What about the new game?"

After learning that Brother Ba was not ready to cross the line, but did not forget his original intention and stuck to his old business, Qian Xin immediately asked about the next new game from Tianba Studio.

"New game? I haven't figured it out yet. ”

"However, as a result of our studio's preliminary discussions, the new game should be a mobile game......"

Considering that this is not a secret, Chen Ba simply said honestly: "Engaging in a stand-alone machine, and it is also a PC stand-alone, the profit is too unstable." ”

"In order to ensure the normal operation of the studio, we plan to make a kryptonite mobile game as a source of cash for the studio."

It is also a very normal business decision to continuously transfuse the studio through mobile games, and then make new PC stand-alone masterpieces.

"Mobile games do make money."

Qian Xin was not surprised to hear this, because he was an UP master in the game area before, and he knew very well how strong the ability of mobile games to make money was now.

It is no exaggeration to say that in China, the ability of mobile games to make money is dozens of times stronger than that of PC games and console games.

A popular mobile game, the monthly turnover casually starts at hundreds of millions.

If it's pesticides, O gods, it's even more terrifying, the day the new card pool and new skin are launched, a day's income can catch up with the development cost of a triple-A game.

Although Tianba Studio has made money and lived a very nourishing life, who doesn't want to make their lives better and more nourishing?

No one really thinks it's too much money, right?

"What kind of mobile game is it, can you tell me about it?" Qian Xin said curiously.

"Casual type!"

Chen Ba's expression was a little embarrassed and said, "What's that...... Mobile games that are too complex and large-scale don't work very well, you should understand this reason, right? ”

"I know, that's what mobile games look like."

Qian Xin nodded.

Compared with the PC and console side, players are more critical of the game, and mobile game players are much easier to serve.

The more simple and crude the game, the higher the probability of becoming popular.

For example, "Sheep is a Sheep"!

On the other hand, games that are very large and complex are generally not very popular on mobile.

This is a unique feature of mobile, that is, the play time is too fragmented, and it prefers the kind of casual games that can be played anytime, anywhere, and can also be put down at any time.

Enduring games such as Match Fun and Landlord Fight are the eternal kings of the mobile game industry.

But then again......

It's a stand-alone game developer, and it's too simple and rude to play a game, and Chen Ba still doesn't want to do it.

He has his own considerations.

There are so many types of casual mobile games to choose from, and not every one of them is so simple and crude, as long as it is fun to pass the time.

By the way.

Several games under Tianba Studio already have mobile ported versions.

Although the sales are not good, it cannot be said that Tianba Studio has no experience in mobile game development.

"Multiplayer is for sure."

Now that they have decided to make mobile games, Chen Ba must have also understood the domestic mobile game environment, and knows that it is difficult to survive on a pure single machine, or online games are more promising.

So the casual game he is considering will definitely have multiple players online, just like the online mode of "Star Emperor".

"Speaking of Star Emperor, why not consider giving this game a mobile version?" Qian Xin said curiously.

He really thinks "Starry Sky Emperor" is fun, and if the so-called "Starry Sky Emperor M" is developed, then he will definitely give it a try.

"No way!"

Chen Ba shook his head and said, "The PC can't bear the pressure, do you think the mobile phone can withstand it?" ”

It's possible to cut back on image quality.

But the question is, without the vaunted game graphics and gorgeous special effects, what else can "Star King" attract players?

No one really thinks that "The Emperor of the Stars" is very playable, right?

This is pure!

Without super high graphics and gorgeous special effects, "Star Emperor" is not even as good as an ordinary fighting mobile game.

Copy it as it is or slightly cut and modified, the performance of the mobile phone or tablet is not enough, and the image quality and special effects are greatly reduced, then the core selling point is lost......

This is also the reason why "Star Emperor" has no mobile porting plan so far.

Unless one day in the future, the GPU of the mobile phone can also be comparable to the level of 3070, then you can consider porting "Star Emperor" to mobile on the premise of slightly changing the animation quality and special effects.

At the moment, that's not realistic.

Chatting and chatting, the high-speed train soon arrived at Zhonghai Station.

Chen Ba and Qian Xin got out of the car, and before the award ceremony began, they first went to the vicinity of the City God Temple, and then had a lunch before walking towards the venue.

The Animation Association is really poor!

Not to mention the small place of the rented venue, there was no air conditioning, so hot that Chen Ba was sweating, and he regretted that he didn't let Brother Dong accept the award instead of him.

Fortunately, the organizers also understood everyone's difficulty, and the award ceremony went quickly.

When the awards were presented on stage, Chen Ba was not idle and chatted with several animation producers and directors.

They are very interested in the "personalized customization" service of "Divine Grace Continent", after all, there is a precedent of "This Brave Man is Too Stable", and everyone knows the gold content of this technology.

They're not here for the animation, though.

Not a TV anime, to be exact, but a big-screen animated movie!

"Make a movie?"

Chen Ba frowned and thought about it, thinking that the ideas of these two people could be okay, but what "Divine Grace Continent" is best at is actually the deduction of long-form continuous animation.

For a work like a movie that is only one or two hours long and has an extremely fast plot pace, I am afraid that "Divine Grace Continent" will be difficult to control.

"More than one!"

The animation producer excitedly: "With "Divine Grace Continent", the movie can be made in a trilogy, a five-part or even a ten-part film in one go!" ”

Boy!

With so many movies released in one go, the audience doesn't need money to buy tickets, right? Who would watch such a long film?

"Then it's up to the script."

Chen Ba shook his head and said, "If you have a good script, we can cooperate for a wave, if you don't have a suitable script, forget it." ”

He can't do anything to cheat money.

Ordinary charismatic animation, broadcast for free on the Internet, at least if you don't feel good about it, you won't lose much.

But if the charismatic animation is put on the big screen, without the support of a good story, it is purely to cheat money, and he can't do this kind of thing.

These two people are not good people.

They should feel that with the powerful functions of "Divine Grace Continent", they can mass-produce a batch of low-cost "animated films" and send them to cinemas for release.

Anyway, it is low-cost, and the amount is full, and it will be sent to the cinema for release, and there may be no audience who will be attracted by the title and introduction, and buy tickets to watch it.

The cost is too low!

Spend millions to get personalized customization services from Tianba Studio, and it is not a big problem to fool a dozen or twenty movies casually.

Isn't this kind of movie just going to cheat money?

When the movie is released, just spend some money to publicize it, and there will definitely be batches of audiences who will be fooled.

Who will the audience scold then?

You don't have to think about it to know that the audience spent money to buy movie tickets, and when they went in, they were disappointed, and when they came out, they would definitely scold Tianba Studio for polluting the cinema with so many bad movies.

You can't make this money!
