Chapter 185: Unlucky Blacklight Studio

The vast western wilderness, horses, revolvers, cowboys, the collision of civilization and barbarism, from horseback civilization to railway civilization.

Regarding the pie of the wilderness dartsman painted by Chu He on e3, there are far more people who desire it than Chu He thought.

Especially on the road to survival, after a great success, foreign players have much to expect from Tianhe Network’s new work Wilderness Darts.

There have even been a lot of ‘Wild Darts’ made by fans on the Internet, and there are many so-called ‘Uncles’ on Reddit.

A bit of the latest news about the big darts in the wilderness. What is currently in the testing stage. The open sandbox is used. The map size is about three times the size of the big map in the survival road.

In short, all kinds of settings and various news are just plain and eye-catching. If Chu He knew that in fact he didn't even plant the seeds, he really believed it.

At the end of October, the survival path transplanted with the help of virtuos was already being tested. Compared with the survival path of the host version, the PC version did not increase in content, except for the increase in the number of frames and image quality. Both are synchronized with the host version.

Of course, outside of the game, one of the biggest highlights of the PC version of Survival Road is that it supports mods made by players, and even accepts players to set up their own survival mod server.

Tianhe Network, or Chuhe, has always believed that the game's mod can be said to be an absolutely important product to help the game maintain its popularity, especially for single-player games.

In fact, the private service of online games, in a sense, can also be regarded as the existence of game mods.

At the same time, NetEase, Shengda and the Old City seemed to have been agreed upon, and the games of their respective cottage dnf were released together for unlimited test.

It is said to be an unlimited number test, but in fact these games are currently only eligible for trial operation. The version number of the game has not been officially issued, and there is no way to charge.

Three games of the same type appear. The old city and NetEase are based on history and culture as gimmicks. Shengda is a well-known online novel ip.

I have to say that the three games are listed at the same time, and the momentum is still quite strong. The value of dnf players online has also declined for the first time, but fortunately it is not too serious. Under the instruction of Chuhe, the activity of **** novices was launched. Attract more new players.

Among the three games, Chu He glanced at himself. Among them, the games of Shengda and the old city, almost clear-sighted people can see that they are completely copying dnf, but they have changed their skins, and even some occupations and skills can See the shadow of dnf.

As for the battle spirit ol of Netease, publicity gimmicks are sufficient, and combat, social, and rpg are integrated, but in Chuhe's view, it is basically the rpg mixed with dnf before Netease.

It looks gorgeous, but in fact the content of the whole game is very bloated, and it makes Chu He think that the game of Net billion is dead. The other party has not set the physical value setting.

Even though it was only in the testing phase, Chu He had expected the scene of the game afterwards, and the studio was rampant, properly.

With a little understanding of these three games, Chuhe did not pay much attention, because from the performance of these three games, there is no way to pose a little threat to dnf.

"Hello, I've played your survival path, a great game." Los Angeles, a game production company called Black Light, as the company's main director Gabriel said excitedly to Chu He.

This Los Angeles-based game outsourcing company is different from ordinary outsourcing companies. They are also a very powerful game production company. They have even been commissioned by first-line manufacturers such as B Club and Ubisoft to produce their classic games.

But although it sounds more powerful, this company's situation is very bad. Every time they sign a contract with the client for various reasons, they will always be punished by themselves, such as being owed by the other party, or After the game is released, because the quality control is not good enough, it leads to various vicious bugs after the sale, which causes the game to fail to meet the requirements of the other party, resulting in not only no dividends for the game, even because of the relationship signed in the contract. The other party has a sum of money.

And the most uncomfortable thing is that those games that were very bad in the initial stage of release, accompanied by bug fixes, turned into explosive works.

Probably expected to do game outsourcing for big companies is a promising thing, they have decided not to be licking dogs, but to develop their own games.

But then because of inaccurate estimates, the entire company fell into the quagmire of insufficient funds. Even if it has publicly raised more than 1 million US dollars, it is still far from their expectations.

In simple terms, this is a powerful company, but very unlucky.

"Thank you." Chu He smiled, and originally wanted to have a wave of business with each other, but thinking of the other company's experience, Chu He silently withdrew what he wanted to say.

Next, under the leadership of the other party, Chu He visited their company. The total number of employees is more than 60. The studio is filled with various board games and boxed games.

These games are made by the team in their studio, and there are some classic series, such as Wasteland: New Vegas.

It's a pity that these games have nothing to do with them, and even many games, not to mention making money on those projects, they also paid a lot of money to each other.

"Chu, we can undertake the project of the big darts in the wilderness, but in the contract, we have to sign some relevant regulations, such as media scoring and sales volume, and we do not accept the regulations that have been finalized at the beginning of the sale." In the office, Gabre is not Said embarrassingly.

This condition is actually very harsh, but for a decade after being bitten by a snake, I was afraid of the ropes. Heiguang Studio really suffered from these regulations.

For example, if a contract is signed and the sales volume reaches 1 million in the first month of the sale, the other party will give money. As a result, due to various bugs in the initial sale, the sales are not ideal, but the subsequent bug fixes and updates, the word of mouth suddenly rose, and then the sales fell. Up.

But because it's not the first month of the initial sale, want money?

It’s good not to lose money.

"No need for this, my only requirement is that I need to be the main person in charge of the project and we will also be involved in this project. At the same time, the final game results need to be completed through the quality control of Tianhe Network, of course. The cost of the project, the basic salary of your team will be paid by us, but also we will not give you the final share of the game." Chu He looked at each other and said.

These things need to be made clear in advance~www.NovelMTL.com~ For Heiguang Studio, the reason why Chu He finds them is because the other party has enough strength, and has experience in the development of open-box sandbox games. At the same time, the other party is in a very good position. Difficulties.

Contract workers! Fighter!

After listening to Chu He, two words appeared in Gabriel's mind.

Very simple, that is, they help Tianhe network to make games, help the other party to finish the game, and then they can get out.

The game's copyright, share, and subsequent income have nothing to do with their semi-cent money.

But these are not problems. In the past, when I was an outsourcing project, more excessive conditions were accepted, not to mention that the conditions that Chuhe developed were not excessive and quite generous.

Especially after Gabriel asked Chu He about the remuneration and the development cost of the game, the whole person was surprised.

At the moment, he has only one idea. If this is not possible, should he consider buying our studio?
