Chapter 41: Cool idea

   (when the grades are not good, there is a vote for the follow-up vote, it should give me psychological comfort.)

  With the release of official MOD tools, there are already a lot of MOD creators in the hungry game community who put their own MODs into it.

   Of course, most of them are some auxiliary small functions, such as the item collection and finishing plug-in, and these MODs that the items on the ground shine.

   Some game-modifying mods and so on have not been fully made.

   But what really surprised Chu He was that sales in overseas markets started to rise.

  The steam platform outside the China Price zone has accumulated sales of 570,000 copies, and in the game live streaming category on twitch, the ranking even rarely reached the top ten.

  Of course, if this news was not when Chuhe was hanging out in the community of famine games forums, seeing the congratulatory notice issued by his company, he did not know that the famine had even started to catch fire abroad.

  Anyway, after meeting the requirements of the mission of famine, Chuhe did not pay any attention to it, but focused on formulating the planning and operation of the later stage of the famine.

   Although Famine is a stand-alone game, it also involves a multiplayer mode, and Chuhe does not want to make Famine a game, so you can put it aside and never play the second game.

   To maintain the vitality of a game, in addition to updates, there is a more important factor, that is, community.

   Innumerable pure singles, even 3A masterpieces, were popular all over the world when they first came out. At that time, almost all of them were news about him, but one month later?

  When the large-scale publicity ends, what happens when the player clears the game? There is no doubt that the heat is almost diving down.

   So today's manufacturers are paying more and more attention to the multiplayer mode in the game, making money occupies the main part, and another point is to try to maintain the life cycle of the game.

   "There is a stand-alone market in China, but there has been no good games. The next project should be a big deal."

   landing on the website, Chu He looked at it, the heat of famine has actually declined.

  Of course, this is also expected, after all, the cost of publicity is also slowly decreasing.

  Currently in Tianhe Network, the main investment in publicity costs is still on the two web games, Legend of Red Moon and the upcoming Dandangtang.

  The cost of famine publicity does not even have a quarter of Red Moon Legend and Dan Tang.

   "RPG, FPS, RTS, ACT." Chu He wrote four different game types on his notebook.

   Role playing, shooting games, real-time strategy games, action games.

   These are the four games with the largest share in the market at present. After thinking about it, Chuhe crossed out the two types of ACT and RTS.

   Action games are still a bit difficult with the current technology of Tianhe Network.

Of course, this difficulty is about large-scale production, not the kind of small play; as for real-time strategy games, more things need to be considered, the balance of the camp, the shooting of the arms, too many things to consider Too.

   While shooting games and role-playing games, these two game types are the two with the largest market share.

"The characteristics of the origin engine, if it is made into FPS, should be very interesting. The large-scale battlefield, the destruction effect of the building, and the real physics engine effect, if it is done, it should be very shocking." Chu He touched Chin, thinking in my heart.

   But this involves another problem, that is, the lack of technical reserves, so that the employees in the Tianhe network, except for the team of Prog and Pig, who can have such technology, the others are still quite a lot worse.

   They need continuous learning, so the production cycle of one and a half years may not be enough.

"However, for RPG games, it seems that it is not a very bad choice, and it is also time for Luzhou, who is responsible for the script, to make a little contribution, and Prog and their intelligent AI technology, if applied to RPG, will certainly be able to create a real World." Chuhe’s heart weighed the pros and cons of the two game types, and the brighter his eyes grew.

"Various ending lines, NPC has its own life in the game, adding roguelike elements, each game has different surprises, NPC has its own favor system, and has its own emotions!" Brain hole one Opening, Chuhe was a bit forgetful, and the whole person was immersed in his game planning.

  Thinking about the excitement, Chuhe immediately shouted Prog and Pig to the office, and told him these interesting ideas to Pig and Prog.

"BOSS, we are human beings, not immortals. These must be fully realized. Do you know how much engineering this is? And even if it is really done, I believe this is definitely a hardware killer. At least the current mainstream configuration on the market cannot be Run smoothly, unless we choose the castration quality, presented in pixel style." Pig said with a roll of his eyes.

"It's a cool game, but I have to say that Pig is right. With the current technology and strength of Tianhe Network, it is difficult to make such a game. After all, this is really a huge amount of engineering." Proge first Boast a sentence, and then helplessly spread his hand.

  It was like pouring a pot of cold water on the head, the original excitement of Chuhe instantly went out, did the two guys know what it means to be euphemistic?

   However, Pig and Progg also had to let Chu He recognize the fact that the current Tianhe Network really lacks everything.

Lack of talent, whether it is art design, front-end development programs, game planning and operation; lack of technology, although there is an origin engine brought by Peg, in the field of engines, although Chuhe can see the plasticity of the future origin engine, but At present, the origin engine is just a younger brother. There are too many engines that can beat him.

For example, the RAGE engine self-developed by R Star, the huge free sandbox map, the picture can be said to be a super first-class existence, and the RAGE engine is even more dazzling when it comes to game optimization. Even if it is a game screen of the next era, it still makes The mainstream configuration on the market, smooth play under high special effects.

  If there is no concept, compare the domestic R&D games, the picture is not as good as the 3A masterpiece~www.wuxiahere.com~, but the configuration requirements are far beyond the 3A masterpiece.

  This is the gap brought by technology.

  Second CryEngine3 engine, the game produced by this engine, the screen can be described as monster level, especially developed by Crytek, EA issued the Crysis series, is also known as the graphics card crisis.

   Even if the game was a few years ago, but the picture is still today, it is still not inferior to the mainstream 3A masterpiece. I can imagine how shocking the picture was at that time.

  Compared with these world-leading engines, the origin engine is just a younger brother. It needs more time to polish and perfect.

   is Proger's studio. The intelligent AI technology brought by him is already quite mature.

"Okay, I'm a little bit delusional, but I have to say that if you combine intelligent AI technology with roguelike elements, it will be very interesting and must be very cool." Chu He said a little helplessly, but in his heart The idea has not changed.

   Because this is really cool!

   Every game, the whole game world is different.

   The unpredictable random fun is just like the butterfly effect.

   It is possible that you gave a beggar a bun when you went out of Novice Village. Finally, when you met the ultimate villain who could not compete, a beggar appeared to save your life and gave you hope to continue to work hard to defeat BOSS.

   It is possible that the mercenary squad you encountered in the wild, surrounded by monsters, you selfishly abandoned your companion, and finally only one companion survived. In the end, he became the last big boss in order to avenge you.

   Of course, when Chuhe is still imagining how cool his thoughts are.

   There was another storm on the Internet.
