Game Entertainment Empire

While making "Call of Duty Modern Warfare", on the other hand, Yang Chen is also working on the gdd design of several games for Switch, not only the gdd of "Super Mario Odyssey", but also the gdd that is going to be handed over to Lin Jiayi and Wang Ye. of two projects.

However, because the machine has not been produced yet, Yang Chen is not in a hurry to produce related projects and hand them over to Wang Ye and Lin Jiayi, but just told them that there will be projects handed over to them.

"Are they all games for all ages?" Wang Yaliang, who was holding a piece of Menglong ice cream in his hand, looked at Yang Chen's unfinished gdd target group setting, and asked curiously.

It's not that there are games for all ages, but they are almost rare.

If there is a big hit, it can only be applied to the "Minecraft" they just developed.

After all, for games, especially 3a-level masterpieces, the main consumer target audience is people between the ages of 15 and 35, and they are still dominated by men.

As for children and older adults?

Ordinary game companies have never considered these people at all.

"Do you know about board games?" Yang Chen stopped typing on the keyboard with a smile and leaned his head over to bite a big bite on the cube ice cream.

"Similar to the board game of Rich Man's Real Estate, players will spread out a large map, then throw the dice, and play with cards in their hands." Without giving her a chance to react, Yang Chen directly substituted the topic into his own rhythm .

Board games similar to Monopoly already exist in the market, otherwise this would be a very good type in Yang Chen's consideration, and it is also very suitable for Switch.

But there are already games of this type on the market. Although it fits the switch platform, it is obviously not good as the first game.

But from a certain point of view, it is the same.

"Of course I know, you played with me before and never won." Wang Yaliang rolled his eyes and stopped asking for ice cream, but ate it with big mouthfuls.

Yang Chen said speechlessly, "That's not the point."

After a pause, Yang Chen continued, "The key is that it is a multiplayer game, and the portability of the Switch, coupled with the detachable handle, allows multiple people to play together, and only party games can allow players to truly experience This share of happiness.

"

Yang Chen looked at Wang Yaliang and said.

Party multiplayer games are not just a broad concept of games for all ages.

There are many types of games. If the player plays alone, it will be very boring and lonely, but as long as there is a sand sculpture friend who can play with you, it will be very happy.

Imagine watching a teamwork game like "Overcooked", how happy it is if you have a good friend to pit each other?

And if this good friend is still a young lady, it will be double the happiness.

Can you play this game alone?

A person silently chops, cooks and serves vegetables.

It's too awful!

Tears are about to fall just thinking about it, okay?

Of course, that kind of competitive games are probably not included in this category.

After all, there are still a lot of players who are very serious about competitive success. For example, in "Dota" and "Dynasty Warriors" in "Warcraft", after Xingyun Games launched the season ladder ranking, the player group Such a sentence was born.

'Brother Shunfeng, Horse Hunter of Headwind'

Listening to Yang Chen's words, Wang Yaliang nodded thoughtfully, but soon she couldn't understand it again, "But although the gathering sounds very good, there will probably only be a small number of people who really need it? At most, it can only be used as a gimmick?"

Not practical, this is an evaluation deep in Wang Yaliang's heart.

Most of the players who are willing to buy game consoles and games are office workers who have set foot in the society, and most of them are between the ages of 16 and 30.

Of course it’s not absolute, it’s just that most of them are in this age group.

But do ordinary office workers really need this kind of party game?

Wang Yaliang thinks it is not necessary to substitute it from his own working life.

Free time weekend friends and colleagues get together to play party games, it sounds really good, good.

But, come on, it's not realistic.

Not to mention whether you are as tired as a dog at work on weekdays, everyone's private time is very precious on weekends, and it is too difficult to find such like-minded friends.

Listening to Wang Yaliang's words, a smile appeared on Yang Chen's face, "That's why we have "Super Mario Odyssey" and several games ported to it, and follow-up single-player games specially developed for Switch."

The concept of switch is to allow everyone to experience the fun of the game and to share the fun of the game with others. It is not a task text socialization in the game like online games, but a kind of out-of-the-box socialization.

But this is just what Yang Chen wants to bring to the player. The player's own life choices and personal time relationship circle are things that Yang Chen has no way to change.

Allowing qualified players to experience this kind of party-style fun gameplay, and allowing ordinary players to have their own gameplay, this is what Yang Chen wants to bring to players.

…………

In the Xingyun game, Yang Chen also got Cheng Ping's latest prototype. Compared with the switch in Yang Chen's dream memory, this prototype is a little smaller.

The thickness of the fuselage has not changed much, but the resolution of the screen is higher. Both handheld mode and tv mode support 1080 resolution.

Of course, the support belongs to the support. Whether it can really be 1080 or not depends on how the game is optimized on the platform.

Otherwise, the machine supports 8k resolution, and your game is thrown up as a slide show, so what's the point?

At least the game must be smooth and stable at 30fps to be considered qualified.

He tried to disassemble the handle, and then felt the 3D tactile vibration through the built-in debugging function. Everything satisfied Yang Chen.

Of course, this is just a prototype, and there are still many defects, and the machine itself needs to be tested by burning it to see where there are still defects. These cannot be resolved in a week or two.

However, these matters need to be resolved in terms of the quality of the machine, and the formation of the prototype also means that they can carry out game porting and development on the handheld platform.

"President Yang, I have to ask you one thing, what price do you want to set for this handheld?" Cheng Ping, who was next to him, thought about something, and asked Yang Chen with a wry smile.

"Is the cost of a handheld device very high?" Yang Chen looked at Cheng Ping and asked, the financial reports and documents from the handheld device were sent to him, but recently he is designing the files of the game gdd, as well as "Call of Duty Modern Warfare" " can be regarded as the juncture of development, so he hasn't had time to read it yet.

"It's quite high. If the price is 2000, basically we won't make any money." Cheng Ping looked at Yang Chen and said.

"That's it, it's fine if you don't pay." Originally, Yang Chen was still a little nervous, but after hearing Cheng Ping's words, Yang Chen let out a sigh of relief.

Yang Chen was really afraid that, like Microsoft in his dream memory, he would lose a few hundred yuan selling one game console, so wouldn't he lose billions if he bought tens of millions?

It is not a big problem for Xingyun Games to lose a few hundred million, but it is a big problem for several billion.

As for the game consoles, if they don't lose or make money, doesn't that mean they make money?

? ? ? ? ? ?

Listening to Yang Chen's words, even though Yang Chen told him before that they don't make money by selling game consoles, Cheng Ping is still a little confused now, is it true? No kidding?

Thinking of this, he quickly said, "Mr. Yang, this is the cost of his own game console. If the later promotion is included, the switch project will definitely lose money."

Seeing Cheng Ping with a serious face, Yang Chen calmed down and smiled, "It's not a big problem, if you don't lose money, you will make a lot of money."

As long as the game console doesn't lose money, can he still make money selling games?
