Video Game Designer - Chapter 500
Encino, California
Chuhe, who left from ea, came to the office of respanentertant the next day.
This is a wealthy area in California, located in the southern part of the San Fernando Valley.
Respanentertant is located in a 6-story office building near the west.
Under the leadership of the respanentertant employees who came to the reception, Chuhe walked towards the office building, along with employees from other companies in the office building, but it did not attract much attention.
“Mr. Chu!” Zampela, who is the main manager of respanentertant, and West said hello.
The two had nothing on the surface, but there was a little uneasiness in their hearts.
They have known it not long ago. The respanentertant is no longer a ea person, but has been bought by the Tianhe network in front of it.
For the embrace of the Tianhe network, West and Zampela did not have much resistance. In a sense, they felt that the embrace of the Tianhe network was better than the ea.
Because the pressure to face in ea is really quite big, but they also have a little worry, such as whether Tianhe Network will take over the management exchange after taking over the respanentertant, or for their projects, Tianhe Network will Will not intervene.
To know that when Activision Blizzard left, its main willingness in addition to the distribution of benefits in the od Modern Warfare series, about Activision Blizzard’s intervention in the development of the game is also a major part.
And the most important thing to put into EA’s arms is because ea has money, and also promised not to interfere in their projects.
But now it’s different. Now that the studio has been sold to Tianhe Network, the arms can’t be thighed. What Tianhe Network really wants to do, they can’t resist.
At most, they can only leave again as they did at Activision Blizzard.
But West and Zampela did not want to do that.
If it is not a last resort, who is willing to abandon the studio he created?
Especially self-supporting portals, it sounds cool, but in fact the real difficulty, only those who have done it understand.
Even the two of them who once created the modern warfare series were extremely difficult when the respanentertant was just created.
Even when they fooled ea and signed the Titan Fall project, they didn’t even have the computer to develop the game. In order to save money, even the office space was a rental real estate developer’s clutter room.
Even getting to get off work every day has to get the key from the other party.
Until the prototype of Titan’s fall was completed, then ea gave part of the remuneration in advance, and then later ea invested in the acquisition of respanentertant.
Along the way, West and Zampela talked to Chu He on the road about the specific situation of the current respanentertant and some ongoing projects.
“A sequel to Titan’s Fall?” Chu He asked, listening to Zampela and West’s brief description.
“Similar to the first-generation series, it focuses on multiplayer mode, not battle mode.” West and Zampela said.
This is also a point in their plan. After all, Titan Fall 2’s reputation is very good, including media sites such as ign and gaspot, which have given extremely high scores.
However, the sales volume was there. On the first day, there were only 500,000 sales. As of the first month, it was only able to break through 2 million copies. As a class-A production, it can be said that the loss of the pants is gone.
It can be said that the game was impacted by the two fps of the battlefield and the call of duty, which caused the initial sales to be unsuccessful, but the subsequent updates and operations of the subsequent Titan Fall 2 did not make the game come alive, which illustrates a problem.
Although there are many players who like it, and the major media sites also give a high rating, but if you look carefully, this part is limited to the campaign mode.
The evaluation on the multiplayer mode can only be said to be general, and there is no surprise at all when the Titan falls.
For a commercial a game, word-of-mouth is important, but more important is profitability or sales.
If sales don’t work, everything is empty talk.
“Multiplayer mode? A good direction.” Chu He nodded.
Just chat a few words, enter the exclusive elevator, swipe to the floor where respanentertant is located.
The logo brand attached to ea has been replaced by the logo brand of Tianhe Network. Most of the employees in the company are already waiting for special tasks on the job.
After saying hello, Chuhe brought the respanentertant management, West and Zampela into the meeting room.
“Let everyone sit.” Chu He nodded and sat on the throne, then glanced at the work card in front of them.
There was nothing special about the main content of the meeting. With regard to finance, Tianhe Network transferred two people from the headquarters to take charge of collaborative management. At the same time, they learned about the specific business of respanentertant and ongoing projects.
As for the original positions within the company, Chuhe has not changed, and still maintains the original structure.
At the same time, it also showed its own attitude. Just as qd, Platinum Studio, Longzu Studio and other Tianhe Networks acquired, respanentertant still retains its independence.
Tianhe Network will not intervene too much in their strategy and project development.
After more than an hour of meetings, after a brief explanation, West and Zampela stayed, and the rest of the management returned to their respective jobs.
After drinking the coffee on the table, Chu He looked at the work report provided by Zampela and West on their new project.
A multiplayer fps game based on Titan’s fall, the main gameplay design is still derived from the idea of Battle Royale, but it also adds dota2, the concept of heroes in the League of Legends~www.mtlnovel.com~ has different The profession has both a passive skill, an active small skill, and a big move that needs to be recharged.
“A game that combines fps with heroes?”
No formal investment has been made yet. At present, this project is still in the gdd stage, but Chu He also has a sense of sight.
“Similar to the type of fps that Blizzard is developing.” Chu He said.
After Blizzard’s large science fiction orpfg Titan announced its death, they are secretly developing a shooting game, and also revealed some news, such as the combination of shooting and hero skills.
Respanentertant’s gdd, called the Legend of Pinnacle, probably also refers to this design.
And what makes Chu He most interested is that, compared to the current Jedi survival co-developed with ea, respanentertant’s peak legendary battle royale type game has a bit of a sword.
