Almighty Game Designer Chapter 267: Confrontational map COG

Lin Mao asked: "Chen Mo, things about your gaming platform have been raging lately. You are so courageous, you have offended many people?"

Chen Mo smiled: "Offend people? Are you talking about those channels? I didn't have a good impression on them. Besides, what is offending? I don't need to care about their faces at all. They are unhappy about me. What a shit, in fact, they should be flattering me now."

Lin Mao also smiled: "Yes, you are swollen, but the swelling is good. Come on, a toast, for your swelling!"

The three of them toasted together and drank all at once.

Chen Mo poured wine for the two of them.

Lin Mao also took a bottle of beer and poured wine for Chen Mo: "To be honest, I am also a little curious, what are you doing as a game platform? It is said that Thunder Game Platform is now the third largest game platform in China. , You want to draw 70% to 80% of the game’s profits just like Dichao Interactive Entertainment to make money. Why should you force this ratio to 30%?"

Chen Mo said: "Others don't understand, don't you understand?"

Lin Mao blinked his eyes: "Are you looking at those channel vendors who are upset?"

Chen Mo smiled: "Yes, I just look at those channel vendors who are upset."

Zhao Zihao gave a thumbs up: "Awesome."

Chen Mo said: "Actually, there are also channel vendors abroad. Like some big game platforms, the average draw is 30%, and the maximum draw is 50%, and there is no more. But what about these large domestic channels? Because I have users in my hands, I suppress some incompetent new designers and designers in every way, and even draw 80% to 90%!"

"Moreover, channel dealers monopolize the game market. In order to make money, they will push a bunch of junk games to players, which is not good for players."

"Players and designers are very uncomfortable. Some designers have no choice but to be exploited by channels. In order to obtain recommendations and to allow more players to notice their games, they have to change the profit model of the game. , Good game changes are messed up."

"Many independent game designers with backbone even choose to make their games online overseas. Over time, there are fewer and fewer innovative games in China."

"I just look at those channel vendors who are very upset. Most channel vendors with resources have chosen to get rid of the pollution. I am not the same. Although I am a platform, I am still a designer. I don’t care about this kind of thing. I can manage it, so I have to stand up. "The Call of Crossing Qin Shimingyue

"Many people think that I am fighting a price war, but in fact, I am not. I have money and resources, so I must do something right and nothing more."

Lin Mao nodded: "Okay, Chen Mo, I'll take it to you! But to be honest, I admire your courage, you are tantamount to smashing the jobs of those distributors." /

Chen Mo smiled and said: "So what? E-commerce has also smashed the job of the physical store, so what? What should not exist, should be eliminated by history, I know what I am doing is The right thing is enough."

Lin Mao said: "Well said. Just right, my new game is about to be completed. I plan to support you and put it on your platform."

Chen Mo nodded: "Welcome! Don't worry, I will definitely give you a good promotion. How complete is your game?"

Lin Mao said: "The degree of completion is quite high. I plan to be listed on the official app market in these two days. By the way, how many designers have contacted you recently?"

Chen Mo thought for a moment: "So far, dozens of designers have contacted me. Mainly, many people are still on the sidelines. After all, Thunder Game Platform has never promoted games of other designers before, and now it’s The major channels are very stiff, and it is normal for them to hesitate."

Lin Mao said: "It's okay, take your time."

Lin Mao has also made four games so far, basically making one a year, and now he is also a B-level designer. In fact, Lin Mao's progress is very good, only when compared with players like Chen Mo who have turned on and hanged, will he appear a little unknown.

The three continue to chat, one after another.

Suddenly, Zhao Zihao remembered something and said to Chen Mo: "By the way, when I was abroad, I found a good RPG map. There is no one in China, called COG, ofGods, have you played it? "

Chen Mo was stunned: "Translated into Chinese is...the battle of the gods?"

Zhao Zihao nodded: "Yes, it's the name. And the gameplay is quite interesting. It's more like the Chenghai 3C you made, and it's three roads, but the layout is different, 5V5."

Chen Mo frowned slightly: "Oh, is there a video?"

"Yes, you wait." Jintong

Zhao Zihao rummaged in his phone for a long time and found a video of COG demo and showed it to Chen Mo.

This video was recorded on the screen with a mobile phone. The clarity is a bit stale, and most people will be confused to see it, but Chen Mo can see it clearly.

This is a map made with the Warcraft editor. Like Chenghai 3C, it has three roads from left to right, but it has the concept of wild areas and wild monsters.

10 players can each control a hero (called a **** according to the packaging of the game), with the ultimate goal of destroying the opponent's base.

There is not much information on the demo video, but Chen Mo can roughly infer the structure of this map from the mini map.

Chen Mo nodded: "Well, it's interesting."

Zhao Zihao said: "This picture is quite popular abroad, especially in Europe and America. It is very popular. It has just climbed to the top of the confrontational map recently. I also like to play it very much. It feels more balanced than Chenghai 3C. , And the difficulty of getting started is relatively low."

Actually, Chen Mo can check some data of the overseas version of "Warcraft" regularly, but he has been very busy recently, so he hasn't paid attention to it all the time. If it weren't for Zhao Zihao to mention it by accident, he might be a week or two late. To discover this map.

Chen Mo asked: "Any European and American companies want to change this picture into a separate game?"

Zhao Zihao thought for a moment: "Uh~IndoMTL.com~ It is said that the author of this picture is looking for some big game companies, but because the asking price is relatively high, it has not been negotiated. Now I don’t know how."

Chen Mo nodded, but fortunately, he expected it.

The original author of this map must be very aware of the potential of this gameplay, but the current COG map is a derivative of "Warcraft". If you want to use it for profit, you must set everything from the engine to the role. Change, obviously this author does not currently have this strength.

But those big game makers in Europe and the United States are definitely not willing to give him so many resources because of an inexplicable map. Therefore, it is difficult for the two parties to reach an agreement in the short term. COG is still far away from growing into a single game. .

Chen Mo asked: "Can you contact this author?"

Zhao Zihao was taken aback for a moment: "Uh, it should be possible, what's wrong?"

Chen Mo said: "I plan to chat with him."
