Chapter 285: Assassin's Creed

"E-sports?" Listening to Xu Yu's words, Yang Chen scratched his head in the office.

"With good balance and good popularity, "Yu-Gi-Oh" undoubtedly satisfies a prerequisite for e-sports, and this will also be a very good way to maintain the popularity of the game." Xu Yu looked at it seriously Yang Chen said, explaining at the same time: "At the same time, Huawei has also promoted the offline VR experience store. At the same time, regarding the limited equipment for the duel disk that you mentioned before, Mr. Yang, Huawei is also researching and developing."

"At the same time, e-sports is also very good for the community structure of a game. For example, multiplayer online games or the current mainstream in the industry have two directions, one is the main community level, and the other is the main competition level. "Biochemical "Survival" can be said to be a game based on the community level." Xu Yu pushed his eyes, and pulled out a data book of about twenty or thirty pages from the folder next to it.

Xu Yu doesn't know how to make the game fun, but he can still do it through data analysis.

And most of the game companies do the same. The games produced in this way will not be breakthroughs, but they are definitely what players think is more 'fun' at that time, because these things are what players like.

So there will be similar formulaic games, whether it is ordinary mobile games or large-scale online games, or even the 3A masterpieces that players have been talking about.

This kind of game has a common feature, that is, the visual sense is particularly strong, as if carved out of a mold, except for the changes in the plot and modeling, from the perspective of the deep mission framework and core gameplay , has not changed much, this is a typical example of using data to make games.

"We hold the "Yu-Gi-Oh" competition ourselves?" Yang Chen asked Xu Yu.

"You can test the waters with an online league first, and the rewards don't need to be too high. 50,000 for the champion, 30,000 for the runner-up, and 10,000 for the third runner-up is enough. It will be done once a month." Xu Yu said to Yang Chen.

Although it was proposed, Xu Yu is still very cautious about e-sports. The online mode is mostly the cost of servers and related staff, as well as bonuses.

The cost of supporting 300,000 yuan is nothing to today's Nebula games.

After all, every month is the wages sent out, and the expenditure of Xingyun games exceeds 10 million.

It can be held offline, including the rental of venues, the cost of outsourcing, various miscellaneous expenses, and later promotions.

At the same time, there is a more important point that the loss is small,

However, the failure to hold the event is a big damage to the brand of Nebula Games.

Xu Yu has various worries. As the current CEO of Nebula Games, he must carefully steer the big ship of Nebula Games slowly forward, and he must be cautious about the unknown ocean.

But Yang Chen didn't think too much about it. On the one hand, the world of "Yu-Gi-Oh" itself in the dream memory has related competitions.

Secondly, regarding e-sports games, Yang Chen also has a lot of things in his mind.

Originally, Yang Chen hadn't thought about what type of game he would develop next after ending the follow-up DLC of "Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain", Snake Eater and "Yu-Gi-Oh".

But after hearing Xu Yu's strategy on testing the waters in e-sports, Yang Chen had an idea in his mind.

"In terms of e-sports, in fact, "Yu-Gi-Oh" has more luck. Although there is a saying that luck is also a part of strength. If it is e-sports, I think I can develop a game specifically for e-sports. Positioning game." Yang Chen said thinking about a game in the dream memory.

Listening to Yang Chen's words, this time it was Xu Yu's turn to be confused.

Developing a new esports-oriented game?

Not only Xu Yu was confused, but Lin Jiayi, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, was also a little confused?

If he understood correctly, what Xu Yu just meant was to maintain the stickiness of the game community by turning "Yu-Gi-Oh" into an e-sport.

E-sports is for the game itself, just as a means to maintain the popularity of the game, rather than wanting to specialize in e-sports games.

"Mr. Yang, this isn't very appropriate." Xu Yu didn't speak, but Lin Jiayi who was next to him did.

What is the most important point of gaming e-sports?

Game balance?

It's a little bit related, but the more important point is whether there are many people playing the game. This is the main core issue.

No matter how well balanced you are in a game, where do the players come from if no one plays it? Where does the audience come from?

Where does the revenue come from? How to get sponsors?

Therefore, if a game wants to take the path of e-sports, balance is important, but popularity is a more important thing.

As far as popularity is concerned, it can be said that Nebula Games' reputation among players is not bad at all with its own promotional strength.

Especially in the minds of core players, the reputation of Nebula Games is greater than that of the three major players.

It can be said that one of the core problems is not a big problem for Nebula Games.

But e-sports-oriented games are really difficult. The core problem is that the player stickiness is too high.

The mainstream e-sports such as FPS, fighting games, and racing games have basically been divided into patterns, and the difficulty faced by latecomers who want to challenge the former is definitely not ordinary.

"I already have an idea in my heart, and the type of the game is also very competitive." Yang Chen said with a smile.

"What do you think next?" Yang Chen asked, turning the topic to Lin Jiayi.

After completing "Resident Evil 2", I will travel around Europe in the next year, including the follow-up DLC modes of "Resident Evil 2". It can be said that Lin Jiayi's studio is currently on hand. Not much to do.

"I have an idea, but it has not been perfected yet. For the time being, we are going to take over the industry's IP foundry first." Lin Jiayi shook his head and said.

Unlike Yang Chen, he didn't have many games from dream memories as references. During this trip to Europe, he thought about a lot of things, and some game design inspirations also emerged during the trip, but he didn't have an overall idea yet.

However, it is obviously impossible for the studio not to dare to do anything, including the wages of the employees, which are all costs. Finding an industry manufacturer to take over the OEM of a game is Lin Jiayi's current thoughts for the time being.

It is also one of the survival methods commonly used by game studios.

"Are you interested in making a game for Xingyun Games? A game with a background in Europe, and it can also be regarded as a linkage IP game in the background world of "Red Alert: World War"; a game about the belief of assassins." Yang Chen He said to Lin Jiayi with a smile on his face.

"You've thought about it a long time ago?" Hearing Yang Chen's words, Lin Jia showed a shocked expression.

The determined tone seemed to be a complete thought.

"I already thought about it when I was developing the "Red Alert: World War" expansion." Yang Chen nodded without denying it.

"As for the name of the game..." Yang Chen paused and smiled.
