Chapter 205 - Eliminate the plug-in FPS game
Live streaming and business orders are all new gadgets, and they are also one of the main channels for monetizing the traffic of Internet celebrities.
Don't underestimate these two channels.
I won't talk about the business order, but I usually carry a little advertising in the video, and then the product link is placed in the comment area, which is often seen.
The price of the order is uncertain!
Some companies give money quickly, some deduct and search, some give money according to the number of fans, and some give money for watching video clicks and conversions.
Live streaming is an advanced way to play, and it is also the most important traffic monetization channel for Internet celebrities, and there is not even one of them!
"Those big Internet celebrities, big Internet celebrities whose popularity is particularly explosive, live streaming is like grabbing money, earning hundreds of W for a live broadcast
It's easy. ”
Yang Dong explained: "It's hard to say how much you can earn, because the data and pit fees of each Internet celebrity are very hidden, and they are generally not publicly known to fans......"
The public ones are either fake, or half-truths fool fans.
Nonsense!
How can this be made public?
If fans knew that the "poor boy" and "poor lady" who they had been following for so long were all disguised, and they went to the Rolls Villa in private, wouldn't the character collapse?
"Huang Qing doesn't know either?"
Chen Ba is very curious, if Yang Dong is an outsider and can't find out the profit and money-making data of those Internet celebrities, then Huang Qing can definitely do it, right?
Before Brother Qing joined Tianba Studio, the general manager of MCN Company, and no one in the entire studio knew these inside stories better than him.
"He knows, but he signed a confidentiality agreement, and the details of these contracts are generally not allowed to be disclosed to the public, otherwise he will be held responsible."
"Bullshit Secrecy ......"
Chen Ba pursed his lips and said: "In my opinion, the reason why he doesn't dare to say it is mostly because it involves some tax evasion, and if he dares to say it, he will be chased and cut." ”
Do Internet celebrities evade taxes?
Are you kidding! There are really a few Internet celebrities who really pay taxes, Chen Ba is deeply skeptical of this, and thinks that it would be good to have two or three honest people in a hundred Internet celebrities.
"Forget it, if you don't know, you don't know."
Yang Dong sighed and said: "This actually doesn't matter, anyway, "I Am a Big Internet Celebrity" is a virtual online game, and it doesn't have much impact if you make more or less money in the game." ”
"Can't say that......"
"We are simulating Internet celebrities, if even the income of Internet celebrities has to rely on guessing and reasoning, then the effect of the simulation will definitely be greatly reduced."
Chen Ba resolutely opposes the proposal of income indiscriminately, since it is to be simulated, then it will be real directly.
Internet celebrities and MCNs have very hard mouths and can't ask any useful details, so change their thinking and directly ask those companies that have participated in live broadcasting.
"Huh! Really! ”
Yang Dong suddenly realized: "Why didn't I expect it, these companies have cooperated with Internet celebrities, and they must know some details of pit fees and commission contracts." ”
Just make the game according to this.
What is it like to bring goods and just rice in reality, what is it like in the game, the main focus is a real restoration, without any apocryphal content.
"By the way, tax evasion ......"
Speaking of this, Chen Ba seemed to have made some kind of decision, gritted his teeth and said, "Add it too, let the players choose for themselves." ”
To be reasonable, if the game doesn't have this content, it will lose half of the realism, and the simulated Internet celebrity will also look fake. After all, you have paid your taxes honestly, and you dare to say that it is realistic?
"This ...... Isn't that okay? ”
When Yang Dong heard this, his eyebrows furrowed and said: "If it is open to players to choose, then 99% of players will choose this path, wouldn't there be very few honest players?" ”
Don't even think about it.
With the urine nature of players, there is an option for tax evasion in the game, which is a must for almost everyone, and there is no law-abiding prompt at the bottom.
Yang Dong is also worried about this......
If there is such content in the game, will it be judged as "bad inducement" or even "detrimental to social harmony"?
"Don't be so nervous, it shouldn't count! If this is counted, then every P Club player will not be able to escape the legal ......"
Chen Ba said indifferently.
This kind of content in the game may sound sensitive, but when you compare it to other games, you will find out what it is.
The simulation strategy games of the "Frostpunk Age" and "Civilization" series, there is no shortage of more heavyweight codes and even ordinances in them.
In comparison, "I Am a Big Internet Celebrity" is too insignificant to join this mechanism as if it were alive.
"It makes sense, it's me who is overthinking."
Yang Dong rubbed his eyebrows, and then said with a little distress: "By the way, Brother Ba, there is one more thing I want your help with." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Are you going to get the copyright of the music library? Our game,Can't lack all kinds of Tuhi BGM! ”
Chen Ba: "......"
Hey, hey, hey? Is this human speech?
In order to make a game, you directly buy the license of an entire music library? How much did Yang Dong drink before he dared to mention such outrageous conditions?
"No, you...... Do you know how expensive the entire music library is, just the kind of copyright package and sale? ”
Chen Ba was speechless and said: "I'll just say this, at present, if we sell our Tianba Studio, it is estimated that we will not be able to get the complete music library license." ”
"You really dare to make a request, it's not easy for anyone to put this request aside, it's really not something we can do......"
"Let's do it first, be compatible with some of the more popular music file formats, and then let players upload and share them themselves while playing."
Although Chen Ba couldn't meet Brother Dong's request, he also thought of a way for him.
This method is to shake the pot.
Throw the responsibility to the player, and when people ask, they say I don't know, this is all the content uploaded and shared by the players themselves, and it has nothing to do with Tianba Studio.
In fact, most of the current mainstream social short video platforms are in this mode.
Ahem...... Most!
The reason why most of them are mainly because there are also a few "rich and powerful" platforms that have reached cooperation with digital music copyright owners, such as Penguin Music X Doukuai.
This mode will definitely not be learned, so you can only use the player and let the player toss it by himself.
……
At the end of January, the first month of the lunar calendar.
Once a year, the TGA Awards Ceremony, known as the "Oscar" of the game industry, was held in Los Angeles, USA.
All game developers who have been invited to compete for the final award have all signed up for the award ceremony.
Chen Ba is the same.
This is not the first time he has been invited, he has actually been invited two years ago. It's just that Tianba Studio in the first two years lacked competitiveness in core awards, so he didn't bother to invite him.
This year is very special, and the special thing is that Tianba Studio, which has been a companion in previous years, has been nominated for many awards such as Best Game of the Year, Best Performance, Best Community Support, Best RPG Game, Best Multiplayer Game, etc.
Wuhu, take off!
Chen Ba had never received this kind of courtesy, and when he thought of the scene where he received the award and received a soft hand, he came to the scene in a hurry.
It's a pity that there are some things that he only knows when he comes to the scene, that is, although there are many awards nominated for "Global Evolution", most of them have to be accompanied.
It's good to be able to take away one or two awards.
As for the Game of the Year?
Excuse me! Although the organizing committee claims that the various awards are unanimous and confidential, no one knows the names of the winners until the end of the reading.
OK! OK!
Chen Ba has long been tired of hearing this set of rhetoric about fairness and justice, no matter how well the organizing committee disguises it, in fact, everyone will know who won the award when they come to the scene.
Of course, ordinary people don't know, and they think that the process of awarding awards is very exciting.
But it's too difficult to hide the boss of a studio like Chen Ba, or the CEO of a studio like Huang Qing.
After all, there are only a few nominees, and it's no secret who has the most ability, who has the most game fans, and who has contributed the most to winning the award.
"It's a pity ......"
Yang Dong, who was far away in Jiangning, learned that the best game of the year was missing out on "Global Evolution", and said half regretfully and half happily: "You can accept it!" After all, this award is really awarded to us, and it is estimated that it will be evaluated as a shock wave by netizens. ”
This year's TGA Game of the Year winner is the company V, and their new game is popular all over the world, and its influence in the Western world is far greater than that of Global Evolution.
Probably this is also the reason why "Global Evolution" was finally defeated, well-known but not very well-known, and its foreign influence is really limited......
The best of the year was really awarded to "Global Evolution", Chen Ba was happy, but many V fans and even foreign players will be unhappy, questioning the existence of shady scenes in this TGA, and awarding it to a game that has never been heard of.
Of course!
As the saying goes, there are gains and losses! After losing the race for Game of the Year, Global Evolution quickly took home a couple of consolation prizes.
What is the best community support, the best RPG games, and more.
Chen Ba, as the main producer of the game, also came to the stage to talk for a while, but unfortunately everyone has a time limit, otherwise he really wants to have a rap on the spot.
But......
The acceptance speech is sometimes limited in length and is not so good for showcasing talents, but in the industry exchange session after the event, you can play to your heart's content.
This session is private.
That is, it is not open to the public, and none of the reporters and media are there, and it is all a celebration party for representatives of various OEMs and game companies.
Chen Ba met the person in charge of a game studio that made FPS games in Lao Mi here, and he seemed to be very interested in Chen Ba, and chatted a lot.
Through the conversation, Chen Ba learned that the bearded game producer actually wanted to inquire about the possibility of applying the Tianba engine to FPS games.
"Huh?"
For this slightly absurd question, Chen Ba was stunned at first.
Tianba engine? FPS?
These two are obviously not the same type of thing! At the beginning of the birth of the Tianba engine, it was not specially corrected for FPS games at all.
So obviously, the move to develop an FPS game with the Tianba engine is quite risky, the risk is extremely high, and everyone is happy if it succeeds, but if it fails, it may not even be as good as relying on the defense.
"The engine can support FPS games, but I don't recommend you to do that, because the Tianba engine doesn't have experience in FPS game development yet."
When Chen Ba said this, he suddenly asked curiously: "Anyway, there are many excellent engines to choose from FPS games, right?" Why would you look at the Skymaster engine? ”
He was genuinely curious.
FPS games are one of the most popular categories in the game industry, and there are countless popular masterpieces.
That being the case, if you want to develop a good FPS game, why not use the engines of these games?
Tianba engine? Bullshit isn't!
In China, the Tianba engine may still be majestic, but abroad, the nascent Tianba engine is a piece of, and few developers are willing to try.
"Chen, you seem to have forgotten ......"
The developer, named Kadir, shrugged his shoulders and said, "What you said is actually not fatal for an FPS game, especially an online game. ”
"The real lethal thing is the cheat!"
Plug?
Hearing this word, Chen Ba nodded in amazement for a while.
Really......
When evaluating the quality of an FPS game, especially an online game, everyone will add the punishment and ban of cheating, as well as how many cheats there are.
The competitive environment of the game is well maintained, and the game that strictly cracks down on and punishes plug-ins is the most fun FPS game in the minds of players.
So here's the problem......
Is there an FPS game that can completely eliminate the invasion of various plug-ins and scripts and ensure a green and healthy game environment?
The answer is, no!
There's a reason why FPS plugins are rampant, and that's why it's impossible to solve it for at least 10 years at the current rate of game development.
10 years is very conservative......
Slightly more aggressive players will even say that the FPS plug-in problem can't be solved in 30 years.
The mainstream solution that has been proven by the market is at most to sweep the market like "Valorant", and constantly monitor whether players will cheat.
To be reasonable, this method is very crude.
It is precisely because it is very rude, and this kind of snooping behavior without privacy will also cause disgust and rejection of many players.
“So…… What do you want to say? ”
Chen Ba was very puzzled, Kadir had shocked him when he talked about FPS games, and he was involved in plug-ins, what did he want to say?
What does the Tianba engine have to do with FPS games? What does it have to do with plug-ins?
Kadir shouldn't have noticed that he can use the Tianba engine to develop various FPS plug-in software, right?
“NO!”
Kadir denied the, and explained without hesitation: "My findings are related to cheating, but believe me, I'm really a law-abiding green player. ”
"What I found was that when I tried to make an FPS mini-game in the Tianba engine, the game actually resisted the invasion of various FPS plug-ins."
Chen Ba: "??? ”
Defend against all kinds of cheats? Isn't that how it should be?
No matter what you say about the Tianba engine, the bottom layer is also from the hands of the Tie Hanhan system, and no matter how good these plug-in software is, it is impossible to bypass the system.
So what's so alarming about that...... Wait a minute! He was just talking about FPS games?
Chen Ba's eyes widened quietly.
