Chapter 414: Three major game development teams
The aura obtained by the two men is not very much, Su Yaowen only took half a day to complete all the refining, and forcibly improved his cultivation by a small section, and waited until the aura was completely digested and there was no slightest delay in circulation, and then he officially finished his work.
When Su Yaowen went outside the room, he saw Han Bing'er sitting on a stone bench in the middle of the courtyard, boredly clicking the mouse in his hand. In order to wait for him and Yueyue, Han Bing'er couldn't leave the courtyard at will, so she had to take out her computer to kill time.
"Finished cultivating?" Seeing his junior brother come out, Han Bing'er stopped the mouse operation and raised his head to ask, the dull expression on his face weakened slightly.
"The little junior sister's cultivation is not high, and the aura she absorbs is not very much, so it doesn't take too much time. Su Yaowen walked to Han Bing'er's side, didn't say hello, picked him up directly, and then sat on the stone bench by himself, and then put his senior sister on his lap, rubbing his free hands on her lower abdomen.
"Don't make trouble, it's still outside, it's not good to wait for someone to find out. Although Han Bing'er acquiesced to this intimate sitting posture, it didn't mean that she was willing to do that kind of thing with her junior brother here, holding her husband's big hands with both hands and not letting them make trouble, lest she wait for a moment and get carried away to cater to him.
Although he was rejected by Han Bing'er, Su Yaowen was not angry, after all, the occasion and time were not right, he hugged her quietly like this, enjoying this moment of warm time.
"How long will it take for the little junior sister to come out?" Although Han Bing'er held down the hands of the junior brother, she still felt red and red, so she had to find a topic to divert her attention.
"It will take a few days at the earliest, after all, my cultivation is higher than hers, and the aura provided is also sufficient, and if you want to complete the refining, it is not something that can be done in a short time. "When Su Yaowen helped Yueyue break the melon. did not remove the magic weapon that restricted cultivation, but for some reason, the Yuanyang Qi transmitted to the little girl's body was still very strong, and Xiaomi calculated that there was a great chance that Yueyue would be directly promoted to the Dan stage, so it was impossible for her to get out of the customs so quickly.
The two chatted for a while. Su Yaowen finally noticed the computer next to him, and saw that the screen was a two-dimensional beautiful girl, and there was a dialog box below, knowing that the senior sister must be playing a love game again, so he asked: "What kind of game is this?"
"It's a love game that has only recently been launched, and the story is okay, but there is no breakthrough in the operation mode, and it still copies the original game template previously released by the mysterious organization. Conversations, options. The subplot, the ending, there is no progress at all, which is a bit disappointing. Han Bing'er has always liked to play love games, and it is not surprising that she can make such an evaluation.
"Oh, which team developed the game?" asked Su Yaowen curiously, since he announced the various software programs for the development of games, many game development teams have appeared one after another. The number of new games added online in recent years has been 800, if not 1,000. Indeed, he has made a lot of contributions to the development of the game industry in the Xiuzhen world.
"It's a small department under the Eagle House, maybe it's the R&D department that is not taken seriously, there is not much money, and it can only copy the game template of the mysterious organization, so it can save a lot of labor costs. Reluctant to invest heavily. And how to develop amazing games, although Skyhawk is a top R&D team, but in addition to the core department, many other departments are a lot worse, and there are not enough famous works at all. Han Bing'er usually pays attention to game-related information. Without thinking too much, a lot of content was played.
"Is Aquila a very powerful game development team?" Although Xiaomi is responsible for monitoring the entire network, Su Yaowen will not pay attention to any information, if it is not specially ordered, Xiaomi will not report relevant news, so he does not know the team of Aquila Ju.
"There was a report before that there were more than 500 game development teams that have successfully developed games and registered them on the Internet, and this is not counting those who have not worked on them. Among so many teams, except for the mysterious organization, which did not participate in the selection because of its transcendent status, there are three top teams recognized by everyone, and Skyhawk is one of them. It seems that Han Bing'er knows a lot.
"Oh, the three top teams, to be able to stoop to the mysterious organization, the strength must be good, senior sister tell me, I also want to hear how powerful they are. In fact, Su Yaowen was also able to search for relevant information through Xiaomi, but it was rare for Han Bing'er to show a strong interest in the game, and he also wanted to hear his senior sister's opinions on this aspect.
"The Aquila Ju just mentioned is one of the earliest teams to be established, and it was only developed as a stand-alone strategy game at the beginning, and it is estimated that it was inspired by the two strategy games of "Clan Wars" and "Immortal Battle", the first game developed to focus on the playability of large-scale combat scenes. At the beginning, this team collected a lot of war videos of mortal countries, and even went to the battlefield to shoot videos, and then according to the experience of each member, it was fused into a large-scale war game. ”
"Although there was already a business war online game "Clan Wars" on the Internet at that time, the operation was too simple, and the combat aspect did not dig deep into the content, in the final analysis, it was just a leisurely and entertaining online game, and these shortcomings were harmless. "Immortal Battle" is a real-time strategy game, each game does not take too long, focusing on competitiveness, testing the player's micro-operation and layout. The game developed by Aquila House is called "Conquest", which focuses on the game in terms of conquering cities and large-scale wars, and then adds a variety of business templates, which is very popular as soon as it appears on the Internet. ”
"With the first single-player war game "Conquest", Aquila Ju reaped the first pot of gold, and then a follow-up version will be launched every once in a while, and the sales volume is very good. After the success of the stand-alone version of the game, Skyhawk relied on its own accumulated popularity and developed the "Battle Online Version", which earned mobile phone bills through prop charges, and it was rumored that the income was very terrifying. ”
"Only the brand "Conquest" is not able to make Aquila Ju a top game development team, and they use the income earned to recruit many small teams that have failed to develop games, form different subordinate departments, and increase the types of games they sell. Sky Eagle Ju can be among the three major game development teams, relying on the word 'Bo', what type of game, they are all involved. Among the best-selling games in all genres. All of their products appeared, so they became very famous. ”
"It's a pity that in order to diversify investment, the strength of various departments is uneven, except for war games, which can occupy the top three, other types of games are ranked. At most, it is outside the fifth place. It's like this love development game, in addition to the advantage of a wonderful plot, all the operation interfaces and gameplay, directly copy the game template left by the mysterious organization, there is no innovation at all, if it weren't for the popularity brought by the name Aquila House, it would definitely not be in the top ten. ”
Su Yaowen didn't expect that Han Bing'er still had such a deep understanding of these game development teams. And there is almost no difference with the conclusion obtained by Xiaomi's analysis, which really impresses him. According to Su Yaowen's previous opinion, the senior sister is also a deep boudoir eldest lady, who doesn't care about the world, usually just plays games, or grows flowers nearby, but now it seems that he is wrong.
Han Bing'er didn't know that her junior brother's impression of herself had changed. Continuing to introduce, "If it is said that the Eagle Residence relies on 'Bo' to enhance its fame. That Yuyue Pavilion uses 'essence'. The Joy Pavilion is a team established at the same time as the Aquila Residence, and has been officially established after the mysterious organization has just announced the tools for game development. ”
"Since its establishment, Youyue Pavilion has only released one e-sports game, called "Immortal War", which is one of the battle games. Because of its wide audience, this game has also been favored by mysterious organizations and has become a resident game of the esports professional league. The game combines the strategic competition of "Immortal Battle" and the personal competition of "Legend of Heroes", and the number of players directly increased to six. There are also certain improvements in the gameplay. ”
"A player controls the construction of the base, and can choose to be defensive or go all out to attack, and control a large army to launch a general attack. The remaining five players each control a powerful hero, level up by killing and abusive minions, and then earn gold to buy equipment in the base's shop. After the hero is upgraded, you can choose different skills to learn, which can be both main attack skills and auxiliary skills, even if it is the same hero, it can also play different roles, and the playability is very high. ”
Damn! Isn't this a combined version of "Warcraft" and "Heroes of the Storm"? After listening to Han Bing'er's introduction, Su Yaowen immediately understood the essence of the game.
Su Yaowen's adaptation of "Immortal Battle", the prototype is "Warcraft" developed by Blizzard, which is a strategic game, players build their own bases, produce different troops at the same time, and then cooperate with different heroes, and finally eliminate the players in the battle and get the final victory.
And the gameplay of "Heroes of the Storm" is similar to "League of Legends", which is the predecessor of "Legend of Heroes". But "Heroes of the Storm" also has its own characteristics, when fighting, heroes can choose different skills and talents to level up, so as to play different roles. At this time, players need to choose the appropriate direction of development according to the battle situation on the battlefield, not only to cooperate with their teammates, but also to pay attention to the enemy.
The game designers of Youyue Pavilion are not bad, they have thoroughly studied the "Immortal Battle" and "Legend of Heroes" launched by the mysterious organization, analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of them, and then combined the two together, innovated, and developed their own games, this game has many advantages, and Su Yaowen has to praise them.
Real-time strategy games are characterized by construction and combat, and "Warcraft" has higher requirements for micro-manipulation because of the addition of hero mode, which is not something that anyone can play. Although "Heroes of the Storm" only needs to control one hero, the function of base support is reduced, and the creeps that appear only know how to charge blindly, which is not of much help to the player.
The "Immortal War" designed by Youyue Pavilion combines the advantages of the two, retaining the characteristics of base construction and individual heroes, and one player is responsible for base construction, which can not only choose defensive development, but also be dedicated to the production of small soldiers. As the main force of the five heroes, the fortified buildings in the base also have the option to increase the basic attributes accordingly, which requires the close cooperation of six people, compared with a single "Warcraft" or "Heroes of the Storm", it also has its unique playability.
After such modifications, the difficulty of real-time strategy has been appropriately reduced, and even if some players are not skilled enough, they can choose to assist the rest of their teammates by adjusting their strategy. And with the assistance of the rear base, players who control the battle of five heroes can also have more choices in terms of strategy, so that every time they compete, they can achieve an excellent viewing effect.
Although there is only one e-sports game "Immortal War", the reputation of Youyue Pavilion is very high, because they put all their energy into the perfection and improvement of this game, no wonder Han Bing'er said that the secret of their success is the word "fine". It is precisely because of the specialization that the game is becoming more and more attractive, and the number of players who like "Immortal Wars" is also increasing, even surpassing the "Immortal Battle" and "Legend of Heroes" launched by the mysterious organization, which Su Yaowen did not expect.
"The last game R&D team is called Phantom World Alliance, which specializes in online games, and there are four or five online games that can be used in hand, making it the strongest online game R&D team in the Xiuzhen world. This team seems to be the first batch of game development teams to be established, and they have taken a fancy to the online game sector from the beginning, and the results should not be bad, otherwise they would not have become one of the three major game development teams. ”
Han Bing'er didn't introduce much to the Phantom World Alliance, but Su Yaowen probably thought of the reason, the senior sister is more introverted and quiet, and she doesn't like to talk to strangers except for acquaintances. And Phantom World Alliance is a team that focuses on the development of online games, and the senior sister herself doesn't like online games, so naturally she won't pay too much attention to it, so she won't know too deeply.
Since the senior sister didn't know the situation of the Phantom World Alliance, Su Yaowen had no choice but to ask Xiaomi to pass on the collected information, anyway, the information on the Internet, no matter how big or small, was all intercepted by Xiaomi. And game development is inseparable from computers and various software programs, and it is not difficult for Xiaomi to collect relevant information, and it can even be said to be very simple.
The Phantom World Alliance is a team jointly established by several casual cultivators, formerly known as a game gold striking studio, specializing in the game "Tribal Wars", providing various resources for those local tyrant players, in exchange for spiritual stones for daily cultivation.
After the mysterious organization announced the teaching of developing games, the studio directly transformed into a game development team, and it is still the big cake of online games. The prop charge is very suitable for plundering the spirit stones in the hands of the second generation of cultivators, because online games are an alternative battlefield for comparison, and those proud second generations of cultivators, no one wants to suffer in it, and recharging to buy props is naturally an excellent means to strengthen themselves.
The team established by this casual cultivation has taken a fancy to this, skipping stand-alone games and competitive games, specializing in online games, developing a game, putting it into the market immediately, earning a lot of benefits in a short period of time, and waiting for the decline of this game, it will be replaced by a new online game.
The strength of the local tyrant players will naturally make the game unbalanced, and the bottom players will be lost, this team develops new online games, once again attract the original local tyrant players, and earn their spirit stones over and over again.
It is precisely because of the utilitarian nature of the Phantom World Alliance that the online games they developed do not have much connotation, only endless comparisons and killings. Han Bing'er, who doesn't like online games, naturally doesn't care about the Phantom World Alliance behind her when she sees the bad things about these games.
Although the Phantom World Alliance is too utilitarian, the title of the No. 1 online game development team in the Xiuzhen world is not casually said, and each developed game can earn a lot of benefits, which is qualified to be one of the three major game development teams.
And under these three behemoths, there are still many game development teams, either famous games, or not many achievements, but thanks to them, the development of the game industry in the Xiuzhen world can flourish. (To be continued.) )
