Almighty Game Designer Chapter 275: New channels, new games

On November 3, when everyone thought that the channel wars initiated by Chen Mo had come to an end and Chen Mo had won a complete victory, a piece of news made waves again.

Dichao Mutual Entertainment and Shenhua Game Platform announced that they will reach a strategic cooperation and share channel resources. All games published on either platform will be automatically launched on the other platform and can also get recommended positions .

In addition, there are more than a dozen other small channels that have joined the alliance of Dichao Mutual Entertainment and Fantasy Game Platform.

In other words, Dichao Mutual Entertainment and Shenhua Game Platform took the lead, integrated all the resources of small channels, and established a very large intermodal platform.

All games published on any of the above game platforms will be simultaneously launched on other game platforms, and may get a very powerful recommendation position: omni-channel recommendation.

If a game is lucky enough to get this recommendation, it means that it will get the homepage recommendation position of all the above game platforms at the same time. Such a recommendation effect is terrifying.

Originally, the Thunder game platform was the third largest game platform in China, and the number of users in its hands alone is not completely crushed compared to the Emperor Dynasty game platform and the magical game platform, but these channels are united After establishing a large intermodal platform, the comparison of resources between the two parties was immediately opened.

Although Dichao Interactive Entertainment and Shenhua Game Platform did not mention anything about "Thunder Game Platform", it is clear that this action is a counterattack. Facing a powerful spoiler, these old brands Channel vendors also have to unite to safeguard their own interests.

The situation has become confusing again.

……

Emperor Dynasty Interactive Entertainment Headquarters.

In Lin Zhaoxu's office, all three S-level designers are very rare.

Qiujiang and Yan Zhenyuan are sitting on the couch, while Qin Xiao is sitting on the one-person sofa on one side, with his feet lying on the coffee table in front of him.

Lin Zhaoxu said: "You all know about the omni-channel combined transport."

Yan Zhenyuan nodded: "I see."

Qiujiang played with his nails a little boringly: "How can I not know if the noise is so heated?"

Lin Zhaoxu nodded: "Well, this time I called you all for this matter. Let me just say it straight. From now on, the omni-channel multimodal transportation is going very smoothly. Ding Xing is gritted his teeth this time. Cutting meat, sacrificing a lot of benefits to promote this cooperation, but overall, whether it is for us or for the fantasy game platform, it is a good thing."

"The most critical issue now is that we need a critical game to show players and independent designers the power of this new platform."

Qin Xiao came interested: "New game?"

Lin Zhaoxu nodded: "Yes, Ding Xing also talked with Liu Yuanfeng privately, hoping that Zen Inter-Entertainment can also produce a competitive boutique game. Of course it is the same on our side."

"This time, we will release 3~5 new games, and then internal competition, the best two will be the strongest recommendation from all channels. That is to say, all games except the Thunder game platform The platform will see these two new games."

Qin Xiao, Qiujiang and Yan Zhenyuan all listened carefully. Obviously, this is also a very good opportunity for them.

Lin Chaoxu continued: "The game we are going to do this time must be a super explosive, that is, to capture the largest group of players to the greatest extent."

Qin Xiao thought for a moment: "What about the platform?"

Lin Zhaoxu said: "There is no limit to the platform, but in terms of game types, it must not be a simple game like chess and cards. That kind of game is meaningless even if the number of players is high."

Qiu Jiang thought for a while: "That should be MMORPG, it's my strength."

Qin Xiao said: "That's not necessarily true. There are also many domestic players in FPS games."

Qiu Jiang glanced at him: "But FPS games generally do not have VR and PC dual-ended, MMORPG can do dual-ended."

Qin Xiao: "..."

Lin Zhaoxu said: "The three platforms have their own advantages. The mobile platform has the most players and is the easiest to promote. The VR platform is easier to produce high-quality works, and the PC platform is relatively compromised."

Yan Zhenyuan nodded: "Yes, but it seems that if you want to capture the most user base, it is still MMORPG, especially if you can do both VR and PC, the advantages are too great."

Qin Xiao shook his head: "I don't think so. The three more successful domestic RPGs, "Legend of the Sword", "The Oracle of the Moon God" and "The Three Kingdoms of Righteousness" have been tossed for so long, and no one has been killed. Who wants a new MMORPG to completely kill these three games and unify the MMORPG market? I think this possibility is very slim."

Lin Zhaoxu asked Qiujiang: "What do you think? Is there still room for MMORPG development?"

Qiujiang pondered for a moment and said: "This is hard to say. Judging from the current operation of "Lunar Oracle", MMORPG is still promising. However, if you want to make a game that can take the entire MMORPG game market If it does, it must meet at least two conditions."

"First, comprehensive improvement in technical level, artistic performance, etc.. Second, major innovations in gameplay and worldview architecture."

"As far as the current situation is concerned, it is impossible for the technical level and artistic performance to be improved in all aspects, so the only opportunity is in the gameplay and worldview."

Qin Xiao interrupted and said: "That is to say, there is no play, because MMORPG will basically not have any major gameplay innovations in the short term. As for the world view, I have not seen particularly powerful at present."

Qiu Jiang rolled his eyes at him.

Lin Zhaoxu said: “It’s okay, don’t worry. No one can say what the next game that will rule the domestic game market will be. You can also think about it more, not necessarily limit your thinking to MMORPG. For example, I found a good prototype of a game abroad two days ago."

As Lin Zhaoxu said, he called up a video from the laptop.

"What is this, isn't this "Warcraft"?"

Qin Xiao, Qiu Jiang, and Yan Zhenyuan were a little surprised.

Lin Zhaoxu shook his head: "No, this is an RPG map in "Warcraft", called COG, the battle of the gods~IndoMTL.com~ The three people carefully watched the entire process of the entire video.

Lin Zhaoxu said: "According to internal news, the author of this picture has decided to cooperate with GA to make COG an independent game that is out of the existence of "Warcraft"."

Qin Xiao frowned slightly: "GA? Would they look at such a simple picture? And, is it still a picture born out of "Warcraft"?"

No wonder Qin Xiao is confused.

GA is a very famous game developer. Its full name is GeniusArt. It can be ranked in the top three in the entire European and American regions. It can be said to be a veritable industry giant.

From the video point of view, COG is an RPG map completely attached to "Warcraft", so the perspective is also a third-person perspective.

Furthermore, the content of the game is not rich. You are fighting back and forth on one picture. The only thing that is commendable is that its heroes and equipment systems are more complicated.

Can such a simple map win GA's favor? This sounds very mysterious.
