Chapter 186: Thinking about DOTA

After meeting the requirements of Tianhe Network, Blacklight Studio's remuneration is 5 million US dollars. This figure is not high, but it is definitely not low.

Even when Heiguang Studio took over ‘Waste Land: New Vegas’ from B company a few years ago, the final remuneration was only US$1 million.

Of course, for some reason, they haven't received this reward yet.

With 5 million US dollars, plus the previous crowdfunding funds, they are confident enough to complete their next project.

Of course, all this can only be done after serving the Chu River.

What surprised Gabriel the most was Chu He’s investment in the wilderness. The initial investment was 100 million US dollars, which was only an initial investment. Of course, a large part of this was their salary cost.

As the game gradually looks toward mass production, tens of millions of dollars of investment is not rare, but over 100 million dollars of investment, if you really want to spread out the history of the game, it is definitely not much.

For example, Final Fantasy 7 of the last century, announced that it cost 130 million US dollars, which sounds shocking.

But in fact the final fantasy 7 research and development funds are 30 million, the remaining 100 million US dollars, all are publicity expenses.

Including COD, Battlefield, Assassin's Creed, and so on, the cost of publicity has always accounted for half of the total cost, or even two-thirds.

With an estimated cost of more than $100 million, this will definitely be a super huge project.

At this moment, Gabriel was excited and a little panicked.

For projects with more than 100 million US dollars, let them make contracts. If they succeed, it will naturally be a success, but if they fail, it will definitely be a disaster on the resume of Blacklight Studio.

But soon Chu He's words also dispelled Gabriel's complex emotions.

"In addition to the black light workshop, two other studios have also accepted my commission. It is expected that the staff of the wilderness darts, including the outsourcing of some art resources, will reach 900 people." Chu He looked at Gabre's face Said with a smile.

In fact, if Gabre's Blacklight Studio is really to be responsible for the development of the wilderness darts, even with the intervention of Tianhe Network, Chuhe is still not at ease.

Because this company is really something, every game they outsource has to be said to be really great, especially the combination of game plot and gameplay settings is perfect.

But in terms of technology, they are not top-notch, coupled with poor quality control, which also makes their games have various serious bugs.

So apart from Blacklight Studios, Chu He also found a game contractor based in Germany, which was introduced through ea. They have participated in many projects of ea.

At the same time, there is also a basic outsourcing company located in Malaysia. Most of the projects, such as passers-by, trees and other unimportant art, modeling, etc. will be carried out by them.

The main character's motion capture material, as well as modeling, etc., are all produced by Tianhe Network itself.

After an oral contract was reached, Chu informed the company that a contract had been drawn up, and Chu He, who had left for Blacklight Studio after coming to Los Angeles to negotiate, was also very excited.

This can be regarded as one of the biggest projects that Tianhe Network has worked on since its creation.

As for so much investment, Chu He already has a mature idea in mind.

At the beginning on e3, this idea was only a prototype, but for such a long time, Chu He felt that it was almost the same.

The success of the survival path, coupled with the success of dnf, Tianhe Network's capital reserves, far more than others thought.

Not to mention that the initial 100 million R&D costs of the wilderness dartsmen were paid in batches, even if they were taken out in a lump sum, the current capital reserve of Tianhe Network can be affordable.

The huge benefits of dnf, plus the return of funds from the previous Survival Road, and the PC version of the Survival Road have entered the test phase, and will soon be able to land on major platforms for the second round of capital return.

In addition to the large sources of these funds, the old projects of Tianhe Network are still continuously transfusions for Tianhe Network. Although they are much worse than their original profitability, the concentration is also a very large number.

This time when he left Jinling to the United States, the main purpose of Chu River was to prepare for the preliminary work of the wilderness. However, after contacting the studio he wanted to invite, Chu River did not return to Jinling immediately, but was ready. Play for fun.

From Los Angeles to Dallas, the day of November 6th, Chu River arrived at the Dallas Sports Complex. This day is a relatively ordinary day for most.

But for war3 players and dota players, it is a very worthy day.

Because this day is the day of the finals of these two projects in the cpl world league.

Since the advent of war3, it has brought innovative changes. Perhaps war3 is not the first game to introduce the concept of heroes in real-time strategy, but it is definitely the most famous one.

In the series such as Age of Empires, Command and Conquest, and still being restrained with pure arms, the formation of war formations, the emergence of war3, substituted the concept of heroes into it.

Just as the soldiers in the Red Police can raise stars, the heroes of war3 can also grow, and they are more of a strategic significance.

The usual real-time strategy game is either to test the suppression of arms, or to operate the details in the sc.

But after the advent of war3, although details and operations are still very important, on top of this, a word called ‘strategy’ keeps pace with them.

As for dota, it was originally derived from a map in the sc. At first, it was only made into the war 3 as the existence of the rpg map, and there are countless versions.

"War3 and dota's picture would be great if they are better~www.NovelMTL.com~ Well, although it is very interesting, I have to admit that I can't keep up with the times, but I heard that the ice frog is in contact with s2, it seems that I'm working on a sequel to dota, I heard what is hon?"

On the big screen, the finals have already entered garbage time. Chu He listened to the whispers of the two audiences next to him, but he had some ideas in his heart.

Why can't I make a game similar to dota?

The dota that hosts the war3 engine, backward images, various bugs that are not required, and even logic errors that can cause the game to crash. It can be said that from the quality of a game, this is definitely bad.

But the gameplay in it made Chu He feel something.

"The battle of 5v5, the position of each function, output, support and drive the rhythm. But his difficulty is too high." Chu He looked at the game screen on the big screen and entered thinking.
