Otherworldly Architect

Dragon Sabre Studio has always been very mysterious, which is completely different from Blue Star Studio.

Blue Star is a generous gentleman. From the studio's management regulations, to the game's development progress, release date, and even the whereabouts of players' donations, almost everything is open and transparent.

Bluestar's official website has the latest announcements all year round, sharing the ideas of the main creators with players.

Bluestar never restricts its employees' blogs, they can say whatever they want, as long as they don't reveal the secrets of the new game.

But Tulong Baodao Studio is different, everyone understands the truth of "silent making a fortune".

When the first game "Defying the Sky" was released, Ming Yan set such a policy——

No public financial statements, no external solicitation for investment, no school recruitment or social recruitment.

Recruitment basically relies on internal referrals and headhunting, funds are basically self-sufficient, and additional needs basically rely on outsourcing companies.

Must be kept secret!

The outside world is still speculating on the profitability of multiple games of Tulong Baodao Studio, but it can only make some speculations from the rankings on the leaderboard, and there is no accurate data.

Just like the chief designer of Tulong Baodao, he exists in clouds, mists, and legends, and no one has really seen him.

The only teams that can work closely with Tulong Baodao Studio are the two major platforms, Atlas and IPP.

Today's Atlas is about to treat the Tulong Baodao studio as a fairy, and the team for docking has long been independent from the marketing department and has become the "Tulong Baodao Affairs Department", which only needs to be responsible for the corresponding matters.

The boss of this department is the one who often writes articles about the chief designer of the Dragon Saber. He is now quite famous within the company.

If they want to get on the line of the Dragon Slayer Sword, many people choose to introduce him through him.

But whether the chief designer of Tulong Baodao is willing to hand over the business card is another matter.

This time, Tulong Baodao Studio took the initiative to send a letter and contacted the three largest live broadcast platforms on the market in Sixth Star Province.

The live broadcast industry has developed quite maturely in this era, and the content of game live broadcast is basically the most important section, no one.

For these live broadcast platforms, being able to cooperate with good game companies is of course the icing on the cake!

If I can cooperate with a studio like Blue Star... that is a beautiful thing that I can't even imagine.

How many anchors have become popular overnight just because of a Bluestar game, and Bluestar is a symbol of traffic!

In terms of traffic, Tulong Baodao Studio is of course not bad, but there is only a slight difference in the audience.

So when they received the invitation letter, these live broadcast platforms were all excited, and immediately sent their best teams to negotiate.

Ming Yan still uses avatars to discuss with them in the online conference room.

The people who attended the meeting were using real images, and they were not dissatisfied with Ming Yan's approach, and even vaguely took it for granted.

——The ghosts must have some eccentricities.

- What does it mean to refuse to show it to others? Even if it turns into a dog and sits in the top position, it is the God of Fortune dog.

And the purpose of explicitly inviting them is also very clear.

——He wants to directly sign a contract with the live broadcast platform for the new game "Iwannagohome" to ensure that there will be corresponding live broadcast content and recommendation positions after it goes online.

Such contracts can be signed by three parties, including: game manufacturers, live broadcast platforms and the anchors themselves.

Generally, the contract will stipulate the time and content of the live broadcast, what kind of recommended position the platform will give at least, and how much advertising fee the manufacturer will pay.

Although this is the first time Tulong Baodao Studio has talked about such cooperation, several platforms are very familiar with it.

As for the new game will be popular? Will I lose money by negotiating the contract?

Not many people are thinking about this.

History has proved the hard power of Tulong Baodao Studio. Now the opportunities to cooperate with them are invaluable. How many people can't even see the face of the God of Wealth?

Tulong Baodao Studio is willing to discuss cooperation directly, which is a good thing that can't be asked for.

Get the contract finalized first, lest the cooked duck fly away!

The contract is negotiated first, and then you can additionally discuss which anchors will be allowed to broadcast live.

Of course, this also depends on whether the host himself has this will.

Several big anchors in the game area are currently big names with at least hundreds of millions of fans. The competition for the position of the first brother is still fierce. Among the most vocal people is "Miss Juliet".

Several major live broadcast platforms have been fighting each other for a long time, and they also know each other well.

In order to take the initiative in the cooperation, the representative of the "Fat Cat Live Broadcasting Platform" gritted his teeth and said: "We promise that at least three of the top ten game anchors will be found, and at least 40 will be broadcast live in the month the game is released. Hour!"

This is already a very difficult condition.

These big anchors all have their own traffic popularity. As long as there are so many people broadcasting "Iwannagohome", it will definitely bring a wave in the game area.

Many small anchors will follow suit, and it won't take long for a phenomenal game in the game live broadcast area to come out.

Hearing this, Ming Yan's smile became a little more kind.

...

The content of the discussions between the big bosses in the conference room is not enough for outsiders.

The news of the cooperation of the upper level will not be communicated to the lower level for at least half a month, and it will be known to the players after another half a month.

The next day, the Fat Cat platform began to work on the anchor side nervously.

The top ten anchors in the game area have all been appointed to negotiate.

--what? Cooperate with Tulong Baodao Studio? Want to stream their new game directly?

This is a good thing!

A studio like this golden signboard, which has also been called a "ghost talent" by the big media, is a symbol of traffic.

As an anchor, what you eat is traffic rice, how can you not agree.

The results of the first day of negotiations were beyond everyone's expectations.

Among the ten major anchors, except for three who have other contracts themselves, five of the remaining seven have agreed to the contract of Tulong Baodao Studio!

It also includes "Miss Juliet", our classmate Zhou Liye.

He is now very capable of competing for the top player in the game live broadcast industry, so he is very ambitious when he finds this opportunity, and plans to make a set of high-quality live broadcast videos.

What is the style of the game made by Dragon Sabre Studio?

Two tags: #encircle money#, #shuang#.

If the contract is live broadcast, Juliet will definitely be reimbursed to a certain extent for the money that Juliet recharges into the game.

At that time, he will be able to play the game from the perspective of a local tyrant, right? The audience watching his live broadcast room must be shocked by the game experience of the local tyrants!

Zhou Liye was so happy that he couldn't help but let out a "hehehehehe" smile, and his saliva was about to flow out.

——I have always heard that local tyrants are very cool to play the game of Dragon Slayer! It seems that he finally has a chance to experience how cool it is!

"Iwannagohome" is a very small game with a development cycle of only one and a half months.

This is also because the production team is not familiar with the production process of 2D games, and they specially recruited two related talents from the society, which took a lot of time.

And the whole level design is almost entirely done by Ming Yan himself.

In fact, Ming Yan has rarely made a complete map by himself now, because his time is very precious, and even the planning of Blue Star's new game (codenamed "Xia") has not yet been completed.

But no matter what... his inspiration for the horizontal version of the game is the state of the table.

No one can stop him working crazy overtime for the new game!

Doing level design is really a joy.

Just the thought that the player will step on this trap and die tragically...

Ming Yan couldn't help showing a pitiful smile.

As soon as the level design plan comes out, the well-trained production team can immediately enter the intense production stage.

During this period, Ming Yan only stayed at Tulong Baodao Studio for about a week to guide the initial development work.

Every time his plan comes out, he always has to go through such a process.

Because of Mingyan's design ideas, the level is indeed much higher than that of current designers.

It is indeed difficult to understand the content of his manuscript without his presence.

The first day of actual development.

When Mingyan explained the trap of the new level, he said, "Let the players have a better time at the first level."

The designers nodded obediently: "Mmmm!"

Ming Yan: "It's enough to make a triple trap here. The spikes jump over, and a hidden spike is placed behind it, so that the player must be adjusted back, and then the spikes are extended, so that the player must double jump to escape."

Designers: "???"

——Wait a minute, this is "making things easier for players"?

Ming Yan: "Well, add a time-limited job. If the player doesn't complete the three jumping operations within 5 seconds, let the numbers on the scoreboard in the upper left corner explode, blowing up the entire game."

Designers: "??????"

The first level is the card surface of the game, to let players realize what kind of game "Iwannagohome" is.

The background plot of this game is very simple, that is, the protagonist must pass the level and go home.

But the hardships and obstacles on the road...that's really hard.

Anyway, after three days, the prototype of the first level was roughly completed.

When the designers looked at this map, they all showed very unbearable expressions, as if they saw the scene where the players were about to be destroyed by the devil...

And Mingyan tried it out and said, "Yes, the first level is as simple as that. Let's talk about the five traps in the second level."

Everyone: "..."

After another three days, the second and third maps were almost finished.

At this time, the entire production team has silently accepted their own settings.

--right! We are the devil team!

- What is conscience? Throw it away! ! !

Even if Mingyan came up with a new perverted trap again, they were only shocked and continued to do it obediently.

And so three days passed.

Mingyan finally came up with the design of the BOSS level.

Seeing the manuscript, the entire production team silently showed a kind smile.

——Yeah, I gradually feel that this game is very fun!
