Chapter 63: Rub the heat

In Beijing’s Beisoft, in the office of the Swordsman Project, Yao Daxian rarely did not follow up on the Swordsman 8 project. Instead, he opened the "Meteor Butterfly Sword" with the office computer and started the stand-alone mode and multiplayer mode. play.

   An hour later, Yao Daxian sighed inexplicably when he looked at the games made by his colleagues or friends.

  As a senior player in domestic games, Yao Daxian can be said to be the aging stone of the industry. As a game producer, it has been almost 20 years. It can be said that it has truly witnessed the development of domestic games.

   But Yao Daxian also had to say that compared with the swordsman 8 that is currently developed by Beisoft, "Meteor Butterfly Sword" is indeed more innovative and fascinated by players.

   One year, tens of millions of investment, this is no secret in the industry.

  Of course, ordinary players look and feel very cattle. They have made such a game within a year. Are those domestic manufacturers eating it?

   But in fact it is not the case. On the strength of the team, Long Zu Studio is definitely ranked in the domestic ranking.

  Most of the employees are elite personnel who were once soft. I don’t know how Zhang Ke dug them out.

  Anyway, the game development capabilities of Longzu Studio are absolutely top-notch.

   "However, with this optimization, is the optimization team of Tianhe Network so strong?"

In multiplayer mode, a 50-person scuffle scene will only experience frame drops at full-high special effects, but even with such high special effects, the 1070 graphics card can still be maintained at 50~60 frames, which is obviously not easy to handle textures and models Can do it.

Most domestic manufacturers don’t want to optimize, but they don’t have the ability to optimize. People who have the ability to optimize Chinese game program technology are basically one in a thousand, and most of them are in penguins and net billion. Inside the big factory.

   and responsible for optimization projects are also mainly its ace online games project.

So most domestic game development programs, the so-called optimization, but only use the logic optimization processing that comes with the development engine, which also leads to some games. Whether your graphics card is 1060 or 1070, it is the last frame performance of TITAN. all the same.

   Domestic players call this phenomenon equal as all beings. The mainstream configuration can play as smoothly as possible. This is the goal of their efforts.

   As for lower-end machines, you can also play with low special effects, not because they don’t want to, but there is no way to do it.

   It is precisely because of this that Yao Daxian feels incredible that the optimization of the game "Meteor Butterfly Sword" is so good.

If you rely on the strength of the'Longzu Studio' itself, of course, it is impossible to optimize in such a short time. In fact, the game optimization is above. "Meteor Butterfly Sword" also invited a foreign optimization outsourcing studio to assist them. Optimized for games.

  Most of the "Meteor Butterfly Sword" is spent on it.

  Like Yao Daxian's surprise, the whole industry felt incredible about the meteor "Butterfly Butterfly Sword".

  In the office of Wangyi...

   Ding Shi listened to the project report of Chen Jing, the master planner of his Thunder studio.

   Ding Shi frowned, looking at Chen Jing rather displeased.

   This project was started two years ago, and now we have produced a nondescript egg in two years. Want a lot of money to promote it?

   "In two years, no less than 200 million yuan has been invested in this project. What is this thing you made?" Ding Shi tapped the table and said.

I was taken aback, but then Chen Jing hurriedly said: "Mr. Ding, our original game is still traditional 2.5D, but now the mainstream games are all 3D, and the martial arts games are very hot recently. The "Jianghu" project, as well as the "Meteor Butterfly Sword" project of the Longzu studio, are all hot topics of martial arts."

"So the studio re-introduced the 2.5D game and reworked it to adopt 3D, and I can say that the game screen is definitely the top-most existence in online games, even comparable to some 3A masterpieces. Not many of them, our project still has the classic martial arts story authorized by Master Wen Rui as the background, and now it is a good opportunity for us to launch."

Listening to Chen Jing’s words, Ding Shi’s brows were still frowning, and he pondered for a while: “Go to the Finance Department to apply for promotional funds. In addition, the initial operation of the game will be done by your Thunder Studio. Since you said that the prospects are so good, the starting month The running KPI is not required, but the number of players exceeds twice that of the current "Fantasy Westward Journey" project."

"Fantasy Westward Journey" is an old-fashioned online game under the net billion. Although it is still a 2D turn system, it has been popular for more than ten years. There are still hundreds of thousands of active players today, and the game ranking has been ranked among the top three. Never fell out.

   first frightened, but Chen Jing quickly showed a confident expression: "No problem, President Ding."

  After getting the answer he wanted, when Chen Jing returned to work, he called the team together and recounted the request.

"Boss, isn't it a joke! Beyond "Fantasy Westward Journey" twice? To know that its highest online exceeds 1 million every day, the average number of people online is also 400,000, let alone running water." After listening to Chen Jing, responsible A young man in numerical planning said incrediblely.

"Relax, this time the funds we applied for are not a small amount, the whole network is covered and bombarded, just like the original Red Moon Legend of Tianhe Network, not to mention the quality of our games~www.wuxiahere.com~ than most of the market The game screen is much better, how many players can see even if it is 2.5D to 3D?" Chen Jing said with a lip.

"As for the number of people, don’t forget that there are studios, hunger marketing, and network effects. First, the game is heated up, and then there are naturally large-scale studios. You think that "Fantasy Westward Journey" can maintain such a high PCU Why is it with DAU? Half of them are studio numbers."

There has never been a game that can be maintained all the time, and with the breakthrough vitality, whether it is online games or stand-alone, with the improvement of game development technology and the impact of new games, the number of players lost in the end is far more than the fresh blood added. It is inevitable in any game.

   Perhaps an excellent planning and operation team can keep the game's vitality for several years or even longer, and make the best player retention rate.

   But there is absolutely no game that dares to say that it will not only lose its vitality slowly with time, but will become more and more popular and never cool.

   And the studio, with a large number of zombies, this is the existence of any online game, even including plug-ins.

  Detect these things, even if not by any automatic technical means, just rely on the simplest way to see the data abnormality in the background, which is impossible to find.

  Why are some games, there are many studios and plug-ins, but they are not closed for a short time, but concentrated in a period of time?

   is very simple. When not closed, the planning and operation team has KPI tasks, and when closed, the KPI assessment has passed. (Think carefully, some of the games you have played, including some foreign games, are not like this. Don’t be a foreign moon than a domestic circle. This is the case. Many companies do this.)
