Video Game Designer

As a project with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, of course, it is impossible to have no wind. After contacting Chuhe with three outsourcing production companies including Black Light Studio, ea, who has maintained good cooperative relations with Chuhe, has already come to the door to try it out. Sexually inquired about the plans of Chuhe Wilderness.

With hundreds of millions of dollars in investment, this is already a very large amount. Even now the cost of this game is more and more towards the era of large production.

Really have the courage to dare to invest hundreds of millions of dollars, and there are definitely not many manufacturers who are still initial funds, especially the investment target is not a famous thing, but a pure new ip, and the subject matter still looks not very broad. Western theme.

"Do you need to invest? It's not that easy for a large production of hundreds of millions of dollars. For a rising company, um, I mean if, if it fails, you may be at a loss." Jinling's second During the software park, in the office of the Tianhe Network Jedi Survival Project team, Charles sitting on the sofa said towards Chuhe.

Hearing Charles’ words, Chu He smiled and shook his head: "Actually, we are not short of funds. Well, just before we launched an online game, his per capita online reached 1.2 million, and the number of turnovers in the first month is already Reached 100 million US dollars."

This is not a secret about the flow of dnf. A little investigation, this is very easy to get data.

Is funding a problem?

of course not.

For example, Wangyi, Shengda and the follow-up cottage works of the old city, the original intention is to take advantage of the fierce degree of dnf and come in to share a piece of soup.

As a result, the quality itself is not hard enough, and eager to cut leek, not only did not pose a little threat to dnf, but also set aside dnf.

What's more, this is only the sale of National Day, followed by major domestic festivals such as Christmas, Spring Festival, including the traditional Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival. Not to mention a theme package for a holiday, but at least it can be higher than the limited sales activities of malls.

And the timing of these festivals is also very good. They are separated by several months, which can just let the leeks raise a little fatter.

"Millions of players online? A hundred million dollars in running water?" Charles' eyes widened and an incredulous expression exclaimed.

Could it be that you heard it wrong? Has China's market been so large?

After being surprised, Charles shook his head and knew in his heart that Chu He didn't need to talk nonsense. After all, this kind of thing was known.

"Well, it seems that you do not lack funds, but why did you choose the western United States as the background? Well, cowboy culture, I think you prefer your own cultural history compared to it." Charles said a little curiously.

For the past, basically for China Games, game manufacturers around the world think that China Games' own games are basically mobile games or client online games.

And stand-alone games, even those that carry multiplayer mode, basically belong to the kind of self-produced and self-existing existence, as for international games?

It's not without it, but more of it is small productions.

And in comparison, Chinese gamers are more inclined to do games of their own culture, such as Xianxia and Wuxia.

"Of course there will be, but this theme is selected only for the market, just like in Hollywood movies, especially war movies, there will generally be a heroic black soldier." Chu He said.

Of course, the unique culture of Huaxia, Chu He certainly wants to do it, but there are too many things to consider.

The theme of Xianxia and Wuxia has already existed in the past. Although Jianghu is not a 3a-level masterpiece, it has already belonged to the first-class level.

In fact, compared to the themes of martial arts and fairy tales, Chuhe wanted to do more about the war theme of his own country, such as the war of resistance against Japan and the theme of the Republic of China.

However, these subjects are too sensitive. If they are not handled well in many places, it is basically impossible to be listed in the country normally, and may even affect Tianhe Network itself.

Next is the market, don’t look at domestic players, all kinds of comments on the Internet, if there is a domestic 3a, you must buy it, don’t look at what Assassin’s Creed, battlefield and cod series are hot in China.

However, the vast majority of them are pirated Baishen Party, who really spend money to buy 3a genuine players, compared with the number of domestic players is only a very small proportion.

Of course, it may be related to the reason that some games have locked the IP, or have not been purchased through normal channels, the inconvenience of payment methods, etc., but before then, it is still very convenient to want to start a genuine game. It's just a question of reluctance.

However, domestic 3a genuine players basically only occupy a very small part. The main sales areas are North America and Europe.

"Politically correct, this is a common thing in any country." Charles also smiled and nodded.

This cannot be avoided by ea. For example, the recent feminist movement is intensifying, and ea is also internally discussing whether to add female characters to the next generation of battlefield series works.

"Do you have any ideas about the release of the Wilderness?" Knowing that there was no way to get involved in the Wilderness project, Charles turned the subject away.

If you can’t directly participate in the investment, it’s not bad to publish games as a publisher.

For the games developed by Tianhe Network, Charles is actually very confident, from the stunning boarding of famine, to the potential of rivers and lakes, and the global heat of the survival road, and just recently sent back about the Jedi survival escape The killing demos let Charles see the potential of this company.

"Of course ea will definitely be our preferred target, but it is too early to talk about these. The development cycle of the wilderness darts project is not so short." Chu He nodded and said.

At least for now, my cooperation with ea is still very pleasant, and there is also a close cooperative relationship between the Jedi Survival Battle and the above. Will also be handed over to ea.

In terms of distribution channels, Chuhe did not intend to establish its own channel.

Because there is no need for this, there are too many choices to release the game.

"Next, do you want to experience our game, if there is no accident, we can release the ea version soon." Chu He looked at Charles and said.

At present, the game of the Jedi survival battle is actually almost complete, but after all, it is a new model, coupled with the random gameplay involved, there may still be some unexpected bugs, which are not found in some tests. Bugs found.

Before the official release, it is more appropriate to launch the ea preemptive experience version.

"Of course, this is also one of my purposes." Charles is also very interested.
