Video Game Designer - Chapter 509
After the sales in the first week came out, everyone in the domestic game industry was completely shocked.
One million sales on the day of the launch is not unexpected. After all, the reputation of Tianhe Network is worth this sales, but the subsequent sales growth is really a bit confusing.
A game that is easy to be cleared by the video cloud, although the interactive mode of the big map is added, which greatly improves the playability, but in general this is a game of ‘watching the plot’.
There is no home system like the last survivors, no mini-games and emergencies in the wilderness, and no plots of various feeders.
However, the sales volume has not weakened at all. It only rushed to the domestic market for 2 million sales in the first week, and the price of the game is not cheaper than the price of 149 yuan. Although it is half cheaper than the 3A level game, the domestic market It’s not cheap anymore.
In addition, the previous games of Tianhe Network were sold at a 3A price, because everyone knows that the 3A level games of Tianhe Network, in addition to the game body quality is very good, including the subsequent online multiplayer mode and operation What they do is very good.
With most of the popular 3A games, even if the multiplayer mode is launched, it will soon disappear because of the heat, there is no good content update and poor operation, resulting in a ghost suit.
In the games under the Tianhe Network, the multiplayer mode rarely changes into a ghost costume. Even if the main fandom is put down, there will still be many players who like to play in the game.
Just like the two games of EVE and Star Wars, the number of simultaneous online players worldwide is not very high, but it is able to maintain a very strong vitality.
Even many domestic players buy games from Tianhe Network, not just for the single player part, but more for the multiplayer mode in the game.
But this anti-war theme is latent. Before the official faced the doubts of the players, it has made it very clear that this game will not launch a multiplayer mode, but it still sold more than two million copies. It was a bit surprising.
In a small discussion group in the industry, a group of people in the game circle are discussing.
‘Lying trough, it’s a little scary that the sales of this game can even break 2 million! It feels like a game with the name of Tianhe Network, you can make a lot of money! ’
‘Is the domestic stand-alone market so good? Can an interactive movie game sell 2 million copies on the domestic market alone? ’
‘It’s not good to be dissatisfied. The plot is indeed good. Although it feels like there are some places to step on the line, the three views of the whole story are still positive, and the ending is also in line with the above meaning. Tianhe Network did not do it. ’
‘Nonsense, Tianhe Network is certainly impossible to do, but the key is that I did not expect that the anti-Japanese genres could be so attractive. ’
‘Made, we all blame Tianhe. It’s okay to do this kind of game. The real head is kicked by a donkey. Make good money by doing 3A. Isn’t marketing IP bad? Why do you want to try this kind of alternative game? ’
At this time the voice of a grumpy brother came from the group.
‘What’s going on Lao Zhang? ’
‘Lao Zhang, you have smeared honey in this little mouth today. ’
The people in the group laughed.
‘What’s going on, today’s company meeting, the leader said that he wants to rub the heat, let’s make a mobile game with anti-war spy war theme every month, according to the template of the Tianhe Network, is this not a nuisance? ’
‘Specially, this group of leaders has cement in their heads, so don’t think about it. Specially, Tianhe Network can succeed because they are Tianhe Network. They have the world’s top game development team. In this case It also cost tens of millions of dollars to develop the game, and it took nearly a year to develop for this. The leader of this group of pig brains gave me a cost of 1 million yuan, or RMB, let me engage in a war of resistance within a month The spy war theme game, the plot is not TM, I stolen him? ’
A large number of complaining words popped out of the dialog box, and everyone in the group could smell Lao Zhang’s grievances across the screen.
‘Then don’t wait to resign. Anyway, Lao Zhang, you are not short of life. Just come to our company and we just restructured. The big leader before decided to take the same boutique route as Tianhe Network. Although not as many as before, Sheng is much stronger in life, and we are planning to open a branch in Shenzhen recently. ’
‘Forget it, the child is going to elementary school soon, and the pressure on the mortgage is quite high. ’
Such a niche-looking game can achieve such results, does it mean that the domestic stand-alone industry market is already very large?
An idea has appeared in the minds of countless game practitioners. At the same time, after Tianhe Network latently displayed good sales, many domestic game manufacturers who are not bad, continue to follow their own journey.
Like Tianhe Network, it is absolutely impossible to invest hundreds of millions into such a project.
Not to mention if there is so much money, the technology of the game alone will not meet the standard.
But the solution was made by people, and soon these domestic game manufacturers came up with plans to follow suit.
If you can’t do it on the scale of Tianhe Network, then we will do the PPT game mode of orange light, put photos of live actors, and voiceover is a bit costly. Simply use the text mode.
On the platform, if it is placed on the PC platform, it looks like a crude design. It is better to put it directly on the mobile phone platform. You can also find some excuses, such as considering the player’s mobile phone configuration and the amount of space occupied.
Chu He was completely unclear about these things, but even if it was clear, he just shook his head.
It’s not the first time anyway, I’m used to it.
As for whether it will be successful, if there is a perfect story, and it is made into text GAME, it is well told, and with reasonable background music, it can fully earn some players’ touch.
But if the sword is just a slant, and you want to take advantage of the heat, then don’t treat the player as mentally handicapped.
These Chu Rivers are not too concerned about. At present, what Chu River is concerned about is the TEU platform jointly established with EA and Ubisoft.

“EPIC is still very wealthy~www.mtlnovel.com~ including the subway and 2K’s landless land 3 have been bought for a limited time monopoly.” Yves said with a smile on the face during the meeting.
Just recently, EPIC, which has been moving constantly, once again announced that Borderlands 3 will be monopolized for a limited time on its platform, and they will not stop monopolizing.
“I think this is our opportunity to launch a new platform, we can step on them, just like Sony stepped on Microsoft before.” Wilson also said.
Earlier, Microsoft publicly stated that they would take measures to prevent and control second-hand discs, and then Sony publicly stated that they condemned this behavior. After discovering that something was wrong, Microsoft immediately changed its tone and said that they did not intend to restrict second-hand disc trading.
“This is indeed a very good opportunity. At the same time, our game can log in to the steam platform. We only need to give players some preferential policies on our own platform. At the same time, if we purchase the version of the steam platform, we must also register and bind us. The data of the platform, and start through our platform.” Chu He looked at Yves and said.
Ubisoft has always been doing this.
