Game Entertainment Empire

Not only the studios of Phoenix Games, but also NetDragon and Tenghua, as well as some other second-tier or third-tier studios involved in FPS, are all studying the modes and gameplay in "Survival Survival".

This is not something so core that it cannot be copied, because the theme of zombies has no copyright at all. They can use zombies to infect Nebula games, and other game manufacturers can naturally use them, but there is an official theme protection period. Even if they are developed, they will not be able to go online in the first time.

But this is not critical, the most important thing is that they can copy these modes, and it can be moved very easily. There is no need to copy maps or anything, just copy the core gameplay modes.

This kind of practice is also a kind of unspoken rule behavior in both domestic and foreign game circles. On the surface, it is a reference for gameplay creativity, but in the end it is mainly a reference or what is in the hearts of players and practitioners in the industry. There is also a steelyard.

While the major FPS game studios were also preparing for the zombie mode, Yang Chen in Nebula Games was also busy developing new content for "Survival Survival".

About hide-and-seek, also known as the hide-and-seek mode, there are also new skin accessories and two new game maps.

At the same time, Nebula Games has also conducted a recruitment in the industry. In terms of remuneration, it may not be able to compare with the Big Three and some second-tier and quasi-first-tier game manufacturers in China.

But for game practitioners, the most attractive thing about Nebula games is the prospect. With several hit games in a row, it can be said that today's Nebula games are simply like sweets.

This time, Yang Chen not only recruited in the industry, but also recruited some fresh graduates, and the ratio basically remained at the rhythm of 55%.

At present, the Nebula game has almost stabilized. If there is no accident, the game "Survival Survival" can serve as the capital cow of the Nebula game for a long time.

The talent pool in the studio is about to start.

Under Xu Yu's management, the customer service department and the publicity department also ushered in a small-scale expansion.

"The previous zombie infection mode and zombie escape mode need to be adjusted and updated." In the meeting room, Yang Chen looked at Wang Ye and a group of "old people" who were in charge of "Survival Survival" and joined them just now. Said the new team member.

At the same time, open the previously prepared PPT content on the large projection screen.

Wang Ye and other old people who participated in the development of the game "Survival Survival" before,

The concept of fast-paced updates and entertainment enthusiasm that Yang Chen mentioned has basically been digested.

But for the newcomers who just joined the Nebula game, it really surprised them.

Is there such an operation?

Newcomers who have just graduated with theory higher than practice and have not experienced any real game project development are just surprised by this.

However, some people who are involved in the game industry feel incredible about Yang Chen's theory.

Generally speaking, for this kind of multiplayer game, the version update and the release of new content are developed after a month or even longer, and then updated according to the progress of the current version.

Even in some RPG games, the burst rate will be lowered, or the difficulty value of the dungeon will be increased, forcing the version time to be extended.

As Yang Chen said, updating the version once a week, this kind of operation can be said to be almost non-existent in the game circle.

And this version is not a so-called minor change, such as skin props, etc., but involves the release of maps, game modes and new content.

"It's not realistic to update once a week, and it's still a full version, but I will divide you into two working groups, so it can be understood as two weeks to submit a complete new version, and I also specifically contacted two An outsourcing company will cooperate with you in the work, and our team only needs to be responsible for the core content." Yang Chen said.

Although this will increase the cost a lot, it is a very safe approach. If you really want to rely on your own team to do it, unless you are stationed at the job 12 hours a day, otherwise don't expect to be able to explode your liver It popped out.

In a simple meeting, Yang Chen talked about some major follow-up updates of "Survival Survival", and then assigned the work of the project team.

In the first two or three weeks of updates, Wang Ye and the others will develop together with the two teams that have just been formed, which can be regarded as leading them on the road.

…………

"It's too much! They are copying our zombie infection mode, and escape mode!"

"In addition to the scene and model, the background has been changed a bit. This is basically our replica!"

After the meeting ended, Yang Chen had just walked out of the meeting room when he heard Chen Shu and Zhang Li gathering together in the next office, filled with righteous indignation.

"What's wrong?" Yang Chen walked over and said with a smile.

"Mr. Yang, our game has been copied!" Chen Shu greeted, and then opened several webpages.

"Operation Fire 2" promotional video announcement, featured gameplay: doomsday frenzy.

The new version of "Fire of War" is grandly announced: Zombies are coming!

Basically, some FPS games that are about to be released, as well as news about the introduction of biochemical mode to old FPS games.

This mode is really too easy to copy, and it doesn’t even take a long time to develop. The most basic thing is to modify the model shape in the game, and then increase the blood volume value of one of the camps. After fixing some bugs, it can be completed. .

If the development team is strong enough, this mode can be launched in less than a week after working overtime.

"As expected, in fact, this model will not continue to be popular, even if there is no reference from the same kind." Yang Chen smiled and shook his head.

In fact, he also sees this very clearly. The zombie mode itself is high in entertainment, and it is difficult to compare with the bonding degree of pure competition.

That's why Yang Chen formulated a drop-style update strategy, constantly developing new modes and new content, so that players will always have fun.

"If they follow the model in "Survival Survival", then they will probably cool down soon. If they are a little greedy to sell krypton gold guns, then they will probably cool down faster." Yang Chen said with a smile. .

Listening to Yang Chen's words, Chen Shu and the others were a little confused, and looked at Yang Chen in a daze.

Looking at the appearances of these people, Yang Chen couldn't help showing some smiles. He didn't have anything to do for the time being, and Yang Chen had to tell Chen Shu and the others about some things later, so he simply sat on the chair next to him and began to explain. stand up.
