Game Entertainment Empire

On the basis of "Red Alert", it is not so difficult to develop subsequent DLC content. The most difficult thing is the background introduction in the game.

How can the players understand that this is the main problem that Yang Chen and the others need to face the most.

"Combine the DLC of the single-player plot with the multiplayer mode, new arms and new countries, these things allow players to choose to carry out the liver, or directly complete the limited missions to unlock."

In the conference room, Yang Chen and Wang Ye first decided on the way to obtain DLC in the game.

The first DLC plot can be given to players for free, but the subsequent huge DLC needs to find a way to make a profit at cost.

Just like "Biochemical Survival", players can choose to exchange content with time or exchange time with money, including some special skin appearances, and broadcast voices, etc. will also be added to the game as krypton gold points, but not It will destroy the balance of the game itself.

"At the same time, after the introduction of the time machine, the setting of the parallel world level is added. What the player controls is not a large number of troops, but an elite team of several people."

"It's not necessary to go into every detail, but it is necessary for the players to have an idea of ​​what this world looks like." Yang Chen looked at Wang Ye and the others and said.

Nothing is perfect, whether it's a literary story, a comic book movie, or a game story.

As long as you look for it, you can always find some BUGs, even conflicting issues.

To solve these, the journey of catching bugs is endless, or it is too rigorous to be more rigorous, so that ordinary viewers who are not professionally delving into this story have no way to find the loopholes in it.

Either it is the blurring of details, enough eyes on the main plot, and the details that may expose loopholes are blurred, giving players a blank space in the story.

Of course, this approach has a better name in games, movies or novels-open ending.

Hearing Yang Chen's words, Wang Ye and the others nodded slightly.

…………

When Yang Chen guided Wang Ye and the others to develop the follow-up content of "Red Alert", the online "Biochemical Auto Chess" became more and more popular, and even without large-scale publicity, it directly seized the top trending searches. ten position.

For small games,

It felt like an explosion.

In particular, this mode is very simple and easy to use, coupled with the same luck element as mahjong, it is full of drama.

It is also very suitable for the live broadcast platform. For example, you are clearly a Tianhu in the early stage, and you feel that you can walk an invincible road with just a fetter card.

Then the fetter card just couldn't live or die. Although the player himself must be a bit depressed, it is full of fun for the audience.

But what makes "Biochemical Auto Chess" even more popular is not only this game, but also on "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", some MOD producers have simultaneously produced "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" Auto Chess .

The Skyline card inside has been turned into a game of auto chess, and there are even some indescribable MOD combination functions. For example, after facing some special NPCs, a mysterious door can be opened through the victory or defeat of the Skyline card.

Under the circumstances of various influences, some other manufacturers also indicated that they would also develop similar auto chess gameplay. Of course, this will have to wait for a week or two. After the official protection period has passed, they can learn from "Biochemical Auto Chess" How to play Chess.

At the same time, in the meeting room of NetDragon Games, Ma Lei put down his mobile phone, and the screen displayed on it was "Biochemical Auto Chess" and each chess piece's character was full of accessories, and there was a recharge amount with a progress bar exploding beside it. .

Seeing a group of game makers walking in, Ma Lei tilted the table: "The technology of VR eyes and portable VR devices has basically been completed, and Tenghua and Phoenix are also developing related VR games. According to the news About the end of November, the latest VR equipment will be on the market, what do you think?"

"Developing a large-scale game specifically for VR devices is too risky. I think we'd better fry some old games and reset them. On the one hand, we are testing the performance of VR equipment, and on the other hand, we are also testing Market." A middle-aged man with a big beard said, wearing an off-white shirt, with a water glass filled with goji berries in front of him.

The middle-aged man is called Zhang Yida. Currently, there are only two top game producers under NetDragon. Although no new project has been approved in the past two years, after all, their identity and qualifications are here. It can be said that Ma Lei is the only one in NetDragon. His right to speak is even higher than that of some high-level officials.

When Zhang Yida opened his mouth, the rest of the studio departments would not raise their voices in person, and they all nodded in agreement.

"Resetting the game is actually not a good choice. What do you think, Lao Zhang, by using our existing IP to develop a new game?" While talking, Ma Lei played "Biochemical Auto Chess "The mobile phone on the screen is pushed to the front.

"The "Biochemical Auto Chess" from Xingyun Games?" Zhang Yida understood.

Although he has not developed any new works, he is not completely indifferent to the game industry. He is still very surprised by the sudden rise of Nebula Games, especially when the other party developed a game like "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".

For this company and Yang Chen, he did not despise him at all.

Even in the game industry's honorary awards or something, the other party can't compare with him.

But the game industry cannot be ruled by awards and honors.

"Relying on the sense of substitution of VR equipment, there will be a stronger on-the-spot effect. At the same time, with portable equipment, there should be some tricks." Zhang Yida nodded slightly.

As for plagiarism?

He has been in the game industry for so many years, and he has seen it quite openly. The art style, values, and codes are different. Adding his own new elements can only be said to be a reference.

After all, if there must be a division of plagiarism in the gameplay, then any game should have only one type.

For example, in FPS-type games, all gameplay is to shoot and kill enemies, so should they be classified as plagiarism?

This is obviously impossible.

"And this type of game, in terms of gameplay, is actually similar, and the competition is more about the experience brought by the game and the influence of its own IP." Although there is not much research, just a little understanding, But Zhang Yida still pointed out the two most important things in the game of auto chess.

Needless to say about the game experience, the most important thing is the platform and IP influence it relies on.

"The combination of VR scenes and AR, combined with real scenes, to realize the chess game, this is the innovation we want to do." Zhang Yida showed a smile on his face.

"Just being idle is idle, I will develop this game, and on the VR platform, I also want to test the waters, the future may be the world of VR." Zhang Yida stretched his waist, Said towards Shi Lei.
