Chapter 20 "Age of Empires"!Youth limited!

"Although our old plan is not perfect, it is also the result of everyone's discussion, and it is also the opinion left by the previous boss."

"I think it's disrespectful to Yixing Game Company to directly overthrow the whole thing, and it's a violation of the old man's last wish."

"Mr. Han, at least these aspects can be preserved."

"And these aspects, I have spent a lot of effort before, and I have discussed with the boss, and it is best to keep it."

"Also, Mr. Han..."

Han Qi chuckled, and waved his hands to signal the other party to shut up.

With a gentleman's smile, Han Qi said unstoppably: "Miss Qiao Yi, you have entrusted me with the development of the new game."

"Let me pretend to be a tiger once, and that is if anyone is dissatisfied with my command."

"Please."

Han Qi pointed his finger in the direction of the gate.

Several other employees looked at each other, but no one moved.

It was Mou Tu who acted as peacemaker and said, "Of course we listen to the BOSS. Mr. Han is our BOSS now."

"As a professional game designer, Mr. Han must have a lot of advanced experience."

"We listen to you."

"Sister Luo, she is in menopause, so she is more angry. Don't worry about it, Mr. Han, haha."

The sister Luo who contradicted Han Qi before also knows that it is difficult to find a job now.

So even when the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, she never left.

And after Han Qi expressed her opinion, she knew that she had encountered a difficult problem, so she didn't dare to BB anymore.

Seeing that no one would make any more noise, Han Qi began to formally describe his plan.

While talking, Han Qi also used the prosthetic index finger to draw a mind map on the screen.

The drawn content will be posted so that everyone on the scene can understand it.

"First of all, Wing Star's new game has not been confirmed with an official name for such a long time, which is really shameful."

"New game, need to determine a name."

"Among the previous proposed names, there is one I like very much."

"I decided to adopt that name as the subtitle of the game."

"And the official full name of the new game is..."

""Age of Empires - Outpost Battle"!"

Yes, after Qiao Yi said before that she wanted to make a medieval war strategy game that included multinational hegemony, in order to fulfill her father's wishes.

Han Qi thought of the game "Age of Empires" almost immediately.

It is both a medieval era as its main content and a war strategy game.

And after the release of "Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition", the graphics have reached a very good level.

Among the war strategy games on earth, "Age of Empires" is also one of the most brilliant works.

If it is subdivided into RTS games, "Age of Empires", together with Warcraft and Red Police, is known as the Big Three of RTS in China.

Such a game with a very high level is already considered the best on earth.

It is definitely quite capable of dealing with the Cyberstar game market with backward game concepts.

In particular, Han Qi also learned about it. Other similar RTS games are all rookies.

The rough game settings of those RTS games, the lack of fun points.

Compared with the mature "Age of Empires", there are completely two dimensions.

Well, it is indeed two dimensions.

If Han Qi directly uses the system to produce "Age of Empires", it should also be able to achieve good results.

However, in view of the platform that the game will be logged on to, it is Cyberstar's second largest golden hand platform.

After all, it is near-future technology, not a vegetarian.

Therefore, Han Qi needs to make some optimizations on the screen.

In order to let the earth-level "Age of Empires" keep up with the Golden Hand platform, and even the future WG platform, the level of this near-future game platform.

In addition, although the cyberstar and the earth in parallel time and space have similarities in ancient history.

But after all, there are some subtle differences.

As a drama-oriented historical game, "Age of Empires" does not need to be as rigorous as textbooks in terms of historical details.

But there shouldn't be too many flaws.

The more historical the better.

This can not only increase the word-of-mouth of the game, but also increase the sense of substitution of the game, making players more addicted to the game.

"Age of Empires" cannot be completely copied, but a lot of transformation is required.

All these things added up, the work content is quite a lot.

So Han Qi knew that this time he couldn't work by himself completely - that would be too tiring.

In addition, regarding the content of the game "Age of Empires - Outpost Battle", Han Qi also had to make a choice.

The reason why it is called Outpost War is because it is not a feature film!

After understanding the current status of Yixing Company and considering the situation of capital and technical capabilities.

The "Age of Empires" that Han Qi is going to make is not a complete version.

"Age of Empires - Battle of the Outposts", the initial plan only has five civilizations: France, Ottoman, Byzantium, Mongolia, and Hualong Kingdom.

Compared with the full version of "Age of Empires", this number has been cut by more than half.

At the same time, the main content of the game will be a single-player storyline battle, as well as players building maps and fighting against AI.

Although there is online battle, but it will not be considered too much, it is basically an additional content.

Not to mention e-sports or something.

In short, the "Age of Empires" that Han Qi intends to make is a youthful version.

What are the benefits of the Youth Edition?

The first is to save money.

The second is to save money.

Han Qi estimated that in order to make the complete "Age of Empires" and make localized modifications, the game screen level must be raised to the level of the golden hand game console.

After this set, if there is no more than 5000 million, I am afraid that it will be unstoppable.

5000 million is the minimum consideration, and it is likely to exceed 5000 million!
The youth version of "Age of Empires - Outpost Battle" has deleted most of the game content.

With only 5 factions in the early stage, it is entirely possible to reduce the cost to less than 1000 million.

Moreover, if there are only 5 forces, the content that needs to be modified is relatively small.

The difficulty of making games will also be much lower.

After all, Han Qi, as the person in charge of game development, could see that the other employees of Yixing Company were rotten fish and shrimp, and their level was quite limited.

As for Han Qi himself, as a game editor, although he has quite a lot of theoretical game experience.

But in the game development business, Han Qi is also a novice - the pure mobile system is fine, but it is a bit tricky to modify it.

Pragmatic Han Qi intends to make a youthful version of "Age of Empires".

Make the game first, fulfill Qiao Yi's request, fulfill her father's last wish, and return the funds by the way.
