Game Entertainment Empire

Regarding mobile games, Yang Chen didn't pay too much attention after completing the corresponding GDD for the time being, because the development progress of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" has been more than half completed.

The entire framework including the game has been built, and even the test version of the game has been completed.

Yang Chen's main focus is still on the project "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".

But Nebula Games' family members know that the game is coming to an end, but in the game circle, including the players who have been looking forward to "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", they don't know the progress of the game at all.

Especially before Nebula Games suddenly announced that "Nannuan Around the World" will be suspended, and the money recharged by players will be refunded, and then it will be remade.

This news made the players itch even more.

Are you still doing "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim"?

When will I be able to play it?

Faced with the expectations of the players, Yang Chen and Xingyun Games have always maintained a silent attitude.

But in private, they are already discussing the release time of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".

The development progress is gratifying, including post-production and so on, almost two months is enough.

What remains is to determine the release date of the game, which is very important with the promotion date.

But for the release date of the game, there are some troubles.

"August, September, including October, there are 3A-level masterpieces to be released one after another at home and abroad, and Phoenix's "King's Sword" launched in August and Tenghua's "Fantasy" are both It belongs to the ARPG of the magic type, and at the same time, the overseas power storm also brought an RPG type of game, these are very strong opponents."

"In addition, although NetDragon promised to release and promote "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" with all its strength, their masterpiece "Legend of Shadows" will be launched in July, and the inclination in terms of resources will definitely be more biased towards "Legends of Shadows". .”

In the conference room, Xu Yu reported the main news to Yang Chen.

Picking a suitable game release time is still very important for a game.

Even 3A-level games, or long-established game manufacturers will not take this lightly.

Perhaps many players think that if the game is fun, they will not worry about not being able to sell it. Even if it is not sold at the beginning, the follow-up will come from behind.

Most games respect this standard, but there are exceptions.

Time is fate, there are always some high-quality games, whether it is media ratings or player evaluations are very high, but at the same time, they chose the wrong release time and collided with some explosive games, and then sales became dismal .

Still the same sentence, there are many groups of players, what they play is not the game, but the popularity.

And this group of players is the main force of game consumption.

Especially games at the level of 3A games rely on these main forces.

This is why the sales of a game in the first month of its release can even account for 70% of the total sales of the game, or even more.

Because it is during this period of time that the game is the most popular and can attract hot players to make purchases.

"Three choices, the first is to launch the game in mid-June; the second is to release the game at the end of October; the third is to directly compete with these games for quality and a bayonet." Xu Yu looked at Yang Chen. Said.

Advance, delay, or compete head-on.

After listening to Xu Yu's words, Yang Chen deleted the option of going online in advance without even thinking about it.

It will be launched in mid-June, so there is only one and a half months left for them. It is estimated that the game will be completed by this time, but it is too hasty.

Subsequent revisions include BUG inspections and revisions to details.

Such a small amount of time is not enough.

"It will be in August or September, I have enough confidence in the quality of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim\

,"It is impossible for us to release a game in the future, and we have to look at other people's schedules to make arrangements. "Yang Chen thought for a while and said seriously.

In terms of the strength of publishers, NetDragon is one of the top three in China.

In terms of the cost of the game, 350 million real development costs are placed there.

In terms of the development team, the top outsourcing team, NetDragon's motion capture studio with the strongest self-development ability among the three, and the technical team, as well as the joining of Chang'an Studio and Lin Jiayi, who are rising stars in the game industry.

As well as the mature template reference in the memory of the dream, Yang Chen feels that such a lineup, not to mention whether it is the world's top, but at least it is considered first-class.

Moreover, the games launched during August and September, one "King's Sword" and one "Fantasy" are also new IPs of Phoenix and Tenghua. Why can't "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" participate in this game? In a war?

"After it's confirmed, I will discuss with NetDragon. If there is any change in the future, we will have to bear the liquidated damages." Xu Yu looked at Yang Chen and reminded.

"No problem, it's settled like this." Yang Chen nodded.

"Since it's settled in this way, it's better to start more hype about the game in the near future; and in May, Shanghai will have a fairly small-scale game exhibition, and the other party sent an invitation letter, shall we go to participate? "Xu Yu looked at Yang Chen and said.

Hearing Xu Yu's words, Yang Chen showed a smile: "In terms of publicity, the trailer is already being made. As for the exhibition, let's forget it. Anyway, when the time comes, we will show the trailer as before."

…………

time passed slowly,

Entering May, NetDragon officially launched the promotion of its own game "Shadow Legend".

Including Tenghua and Phoenix also started promoting their "Fantasy" and "King's Sword".

The interviews and exclusive interviews of the developers' game production process, as well as the trial play by various media, were full of praise in the professional news column.

At the same time, the official blog and official website released the original paintings of the game, and announced some special gameplay and systems.

They are already warming up for the game's launch in the near future.

And Nebula Games and "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" still have nothing to do.

For all the players looking forward to "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", the only information channel they can get is Yang Chen's official blog.

But the information I usually get is how hard the staff is, and the food in the cafeteria is not very delicious today, these irrelevant daily news.

All in all, the game is being made, but I will not tell you how far it has been made.

As for the game industry, it is still very concerned about the "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" project.

After all, it is involved with NetDragon, and the Nebula game itself is also a dark horse in the industry. In addition, the development cost of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" itself is also very high, so it can be said to be a strong opponent.

Tenghua and Phoenix kept a close watch, but as the day ended, there was still no news about "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", and many people began to discuss and speculate.

Maybe the development is stuck in a bottleneck, or the development progress is not as fast as theirs?

Thinking about it, is this normal? After all, this can be said to be Yang Chen's first time in charge of a 3A-level project.

And just when everyone thought that the development progress of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" should not be high, at one o'clock in the morning on a weekday night, Yang Chen sneakily posted a message on the official blog.
