i really just want to play games

Chapter 131 Let them do it

When he arrived at the company, Chen Tiancai saw that the time had already reached 09:30, so he hurried upstairs without wasting any more time.

Because he had a lot of things to deal with today, not only had to have a meeting with some capable officers, but also had to go to the office area to talk to the employees.

Last week, 1000 million knives from Suo Dafa was credited to the account, so the schedule of developing exclusive games for PS5 should also be brought up.

The specific time limit given by Suo Dafa is within three years, which is quite ample for the development of a 3A-scale game, but Zange Network has a world engine, so it must take less time.

However, from next month, Suo Dafa will send five employees to participate in the development of this exclusive game.

The other party took the money, so of course he is qualified to do so, and Chen Tiancai knows the reputation of Suo Dafa, so he won't point fingers like Electronic Arts.

In addition to supervising the project, these five dispatchers will most likely provide some experience and the process of how to develop games on PS5.

When I came to the company today, Chen Tiancai wanted to talk about this matter. The purpose is to get this exclusive game into the project approval stage as soon as possible. Otherwise, if someone who asks for Dafa comes, you don’t do anything. It’s not too embarrassing.

After calling Pei Guangming, Li Zhu and the others, Chen Tiancai explained the matter in detail.

However, he does not intend to fully intervene in the development of this exclusive game, and even no longer provides ideas and development directions. The development of an exclusive game for PS5 this time is also an opportunity for him to exercise these backbones.

If Anthem Network wants to continue to develop, it needs more project teams and more game producers.

The current domestic console game environment is actually not clear. It is not feasible to develop 3A games with the nature of European and American studios, because there are not so many talents in this field in China.

After returning from the island country, Chen Tiancai felt that he should let go a little bit. The prosperous era of the game industry in the island country was the golden age of various game producers.

Therefore, he intends to use this opportunity to develop an exclusive game to cultivate the ability of the next few able-bodied generals to independently develop games.

After explaining the details, Chen Tiancai looked at the three veterans who had been with him for two years, but didn't say a word.

Li Zhu had a straight mind, and asked directly according to the original working method: "Boss, what kind of game do you want to develop for this exclusive game?"

Chen Tiancai blinked and said, "This time I will not participate in the development of the exclusive game in the early stage, and even the game planning book this time will have to be written by the three of you."

After speaking, he looked at the expressions of the three of them.

Feng Yu frowned, Pei Guangming's eyes lit up, Li Zhu was stunned for a moment, and finally lowered his head and continued to write something in his notebook.

"I won't say anything redundant. The primary purpose now is to continue to recruit people, and then form a special team for this project."

"There is no deadline for the exclusive game plan, but you'd better come up with a better first draft within two months. This time I will only say yes or no, not how to do it."

After saying these words, Chen Tiancai asked the three of them to go upstairs to inform them about these matters.

At present, the development of "Legend Chang'an" is progressing well, and the motion capture of the branch plot is also being filmed, so apart from being busy step by step, there are not many troublesome things.

It is not reckless to develop exclusive games for Suo Dafa, and even if the employees they send are easy to get along with, they must strictly control the quality of exclusive games.

Therefore, it is estimated that the project preparation time for Suo Dafa's exclusive game will be at least half a year.

When the planning and preparation of the exclusive game is completed, the project of "Legend Chang'an" is also coming to an end, which happens to be a good time to recruit old employees to the exclusive game project team.

Chen Tiancai only intends to develop a game with a historical theme, "Legend Chang'an", and the new game of the "Legend" series will continue with a different theme.

The reason why Chen Tiancai chose to do games is because he likes novelty. He is actually not very interested in history. What a waste of time.

Therefore, "Legend Chang'an" will only have this one.

But this does not mean that after the development of "Legend Chang'an", the game project team has completed its task.

Li Zhu has collected a lot of information. You must know that the Tang Dynasty has a history of nearly 300 years.

Naturally, these materials cannot be wasted. After all, Chen Tiancai has spent a lot of energy and money on it, so it is inevitable to develop a large-scale DLC for "Legend Chang'an".

Even in Chen Tiancai's plan, "Legend Chang'an" should develop two large-scale DLCs with main plots, which should be comparable to "The Witcher [-]", and even the game often surpasses it.

The same is true, the following two large-scale DLCs plus the main body are equivalent to a trilogy.

Of course, this is just Chen Tiancai's idea now, the whole "Legend Chang'an" is still the spark of his thoughts, and he still has a lot of things he wants to do waiting for the completion of the large DLC.

In addition, he is still thinking about a problem.

That is whether to add an online mode to "Legend Chang'an".

The online mode similar to "GTA5" continues to allow players to create their own game experience as the protagonist, or the online mode of online battles that comes with "Uncharted 4".

Nowadays, the development time of purely large-scale stand-alone 3A games is getting longer and longer, and the money spent is rising. Therefore, improving the game's durability and developing new payment points are also places that need to be dug deep.

This kind of thinking is like Chen Tiancai's "Anthem 2".

The star map system added to this game is superficially a game leaderboard, or a job for players to show off, but in essence, Chen Tiancai prolongs the repeated playing experience of "Anthem 2", and it can bring a feeling of "I am in the game" among players. The feeling of playing online games.

"This problem needs to be thought about carefully. If there is a solution, it is best to start now."

Chen Tiancai crossed his palms and began to think deeply.

Personally, he prefers the online mode of "GTA5".

Because compared with the previous generation of "GTA%", this perennial top game has such a high sales volume and such a strong vitality of the game, there is no doubt that the online mode has played the biggest role.

So far, the sales volume of "GTA5" has exceeded 1.3 million. It seems that as long as the momentum does not come out, it can continue to go higher.

The value-added services in the online mode are the bulk of the game's revenue.

But it's easy to think about.

"GTA5" and "Legend Chang'an" are games with two themes.

It is simply impossible to learn from the online mode of "GTA5" in "Legend Chang'an".

"This matter needs an excellent inspiration!" Chen Tiancai sighed, and planned to put it down first, because it is acceptable for the online mode to be later than the main body.
