Genius remember the site address for one second: []https://fastest update! No ads!

About a week after the first national game support plan ended, there was no news about it, but a message was sent out simultaneously on the official website of Penguin and the official website of Tianhe Network.

Tianhe Network and jointly launched the "China Star Support Plan", mainly to support the domestic game production team. At first, according to Chuhe's plan, it was only limited to the stand-alone independent game, but later expanded the scope Including but not just stand-alone games.

The content of the support plan, from the beginning, Chuhe is only more comprehensive than the investment in games, such as the most direct capital investment, but also includes the learning of game practitioners, experience sharing, and even Recruitment platform for the development team, incubation base with comprehensive support such as technical guidance and distribution.

At the beginning, Chuhe simply wanted to make an ordinary support plan, but after putting this idea in the company's meeting, they directly negotiated with Penguin, which can be said to become more professional.

Roughly speaking, it should be regarded as a similar platform, but it can provide more resources and support to those small development teams.

Regarding this thing, ordinary players don't really matter, but in the domestic game industry, there is still a lot of ups and downs.

As for the benefits, of course, it is also beneficial. After all, penguins are not big philanthropists. It is impossible for Chuhe to say that this thing is helpful for domestic stand-alone machines, but I can’t figure it out by ourselves. Fart ran over and got it.

For the penguins, on the one hand, it is to lay the foundation for themselves, such as the cradle of domestic independent games, which is a strategic goal.

As for the benefits for Tianhe Network, it is the talent pool, which is equivalent to the talent studio team.

...

"This China Star support plan is something." Zhang Kechao Chuhe who came to Jinling said.

"If you have this ability, you can do something, and it will be easier to find talents in the future." Chu He smiled and said.

Hearing Chu He's words, Zhang Ke shrugged his shoulders. Just do whatever you want. Anyway, it has nothing to do with him.

"Why did you come to Jinling suddenly? The follow-up update of Gu Jian Qi Xia is finished?" Chu He stood up and stretched out.

"Already doing it, the main thing is still a new project." Zhang Ke nodded and took out a USB stick from his pocket. Because he knew Chu He, Zhang Ke didn't speak too restrictively.

As a stand-alone game, it has been a lot of time since the beginning of the release. Large and small bugs and data corrections have been completed. The next step is the production of DLC content. The time can be said to be a lot looser. They can also start. A new project is planned.

"ACT? Open world? Host market? The theme of martial arts mowing?" Looking at the forty-page planning book in the U disk, Chu He didn't read all of it, just read the introduction to the project type at the beginning.

"Well, this time we plan to make it bigger, and the game engine intends to use the origin, and it will also be developed for the host platform." Zhang Ke looked at Chu He and said.

"The pace is a little bigger." Chu He was silent for a while, then shook his head.

"Actually, I think about it a lot. 3A can't do it. We haven't invested that much in such a large capacity, but it is still affordable for Long Zu to invest $20 million for a medium-sized large production. The difficulty is in terms of technology, but it can be developed jointly by hiring a third-party capable studio." Zhang Ke looked at Chu He and said.

This method is almost the case of Tianhe Network developing wilderness darts, and although domestic players know that Tianhe Network is awesome, in fact, as a company of Tianhe Network, such as Tianhe Network, TINGK, etc. are independently operated, and among them The funds are also very abundant, at least there is no problem to be responsible for a large-scale project when the funds are independent.

"It's not a question of money, but a market issue. Since there is a strategy for the host market, then it is to go to the global market, instead of turning to the domestic market like the ancient swordsman." Chu He looked at Zhang Ke and said.

Is there potential in the domestic market?

Of course there is, there is no doubt, otherwise Penguin will not set a strategy, nor will EA, Sony, Microsoft always want to enter the domestic market.

But has the domestic market matured?

Obviously not, not to mention 3A masterpieces. After all, any 3A masterpiece cannot be supported by only one country. Globalization is inevitable, but even if it is a medium-sized production, the domestic market is rarely satisfied.

On the contrary, China still prefers free online games and item charges, a krypton-style game.

"Gu Jian Qi Xia has proved that there is a big market in China." Zhang Ke's face changed, and he said for two or three seconds of silence.

"Martial arts games do not represent domestic games, and to be honest, if the ancient sword and martial arts maintain this quality, the background is Western fantasy, or the future science fiction theme?" Chu He asked Zhang Ke.

Hearing Chu He's words, Zhang Ke opened his mouth and didn't say a word for a long time.

What if the background of the ancient swordsman is replaced by a more easily accepted fantasy theme, or even a science fiction theme?

Although it is only if, but I think it should be higher sales.

After all, its own game quality is here, and choosing the theme of martial arts and fairy tales can basically be said to be deeply immersed in the domestic game market, and has abandoned 90% of the overseas market.

Why do major domestic single-player game manufacturers or teams like to use martial arts and fairy swordsmanship as the starting point to make games?

Cultural Features?

This is one aspect, but more important is the market.

There are only a few martial arts games and fairy tale games, and there are a number of favorite players in these games. These people have no choice, as long as they are not too bad, plus the domestic BUFF bonus, not to mention much fire But at least not lose money.

This is why most manufacturers like to start with martial arts and fairy tales.

You said that you want to make a Western fantasy game, so players have too much choice. If they can't attract players, why buy them?

Some people say that this is to promote the cultural characteristics of China. Some people say that this martial arts game belongs to China's own game. But in Chuhe's view, this is actually an escape.

"Domestic games are more than martial arts games and fairy games; we are just the people who make games, we are just the people who make players happy, do their own games, and make every effort to make each game interesting, so that players can In this illusory world ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~ experiencing happiness is nothing more than that." Chu He looked at Zhang Ke and said.

Having achieved results, being too self-confident, seeing yourself as the savior of domestic games, and seeing yourself as the vanguard of cultural transfer?

But who has that qualification and who has that ability?

Don’t feel humble, but don’t make yourself think great.

Perhaps, in Chu He's opinion, Zhang Ke is a little too confident, or inflated.

Since the original swordsman biography project left alone, he found the same frustrated Qian Bin to co-develop the game. A meteor butterfly sword completely let Zhang Ke and the formed Long Zu turn the serf to sing.

Later, the ancient sword and martial arts project, on the one hand, was about feelings, on the one hand, it also wanted to prove itself, and the result was equally successful. Even recently, it has been praised by countless game media as a new generation series beyond the swordsman biography.

"President Chu, I understand. I may be a little bit floating myself. I will discuss it with the team." Zhang Ke looked a little complicated and nodded.

"By the way, when the official website of the China Star Project goes, I have time to record a lecture video, and write a little experience article at the same time, fill in the content, otherwise the initial content is all awkward to carry around." Probably aware of The atmosphere was a little embarrassed, Chu He smiled and said to Zhang Ke.

"Mr. Chu, you should be more convincing in this respect. After all, in the circle you can be said to be the idol of everyone." Zhang Ke looked at Chu He and said.

"There isn't much time. I have to follow up on the wilderness dartsman in Black Light. I will go to Los Angeles again after a few days of rest." Chu He shook his head.

Not much time?

Looking at the Weibo account on the mobile phone, a big V certified account, just released an internal real video about the wilderness dartsman, Zhang Ke thought about it or decided not to speak.
