i really just want to play games

Chapter 136
The formation and rise of a new industry represents the demise of an old industry. This is the unchanging principle of the market.

In the era of feature phones, Apple’s name was not well-known, and few people in China even knew about it. At that time, it was Nokia and Motorola that were in full swing.

After the emergence of smartphones, these two original giants instantly shrank and cut off almost everything related to mobile phones.

Therefore, if he had no ambition, how could Chen Tiancai think about it.

The times are always developing, and those who are backward can only be beaten. In a country that is gradually becoming stronger, Chen Tiancai is of course full of desire to attack and surpass everything that the country on the other side of the ocean has.

This is not just his idea, it is also the idea of ​​all the forefathers who built this country in the past, and it is also the idea of ​​all young people in this country who are working in all positions from [-] to [-].

……

Time passes by like a fleeting moment, day by day, Chen Tiancai can't always imagine that this hymn network has become the most powerful technology company on earth.

After all, he doesn't have the remote control of his life in the movie, he can skip these difficult moments at any time, or pause to enjoy the time he is alone with someone.

But he has already seen the path under his feet, as long as he walks forward step by step, he can fully achieve that goal.

At the end of October, "Hunting Crisis" 3.0 was also launched with the sales volume of "Anthem 2" exceeding 100 million, which brought vitality to this game, and it can completely last for another year.

Suo Dafa's exclusive game project team has also set up a low-level team, waiting for the end of "Legend Chang'an", Pei Guangming and the other three will accept this project team.

By the end of the year, all the big map modeling of "Legend Chang'an" was basically completed, leaving some finishing details.

The main task has also been completely completed, and it has entered the testing stage.

Almost 60.00% of the side missions have been completed, and the rest will be completed by April next year.

The production process of a large 3A-scale game has completely exceeded Chen Tiancai's imagination. According to his original plan, "Legend Chang'an" can be produced in a year and a half at most, but now it takes half a year longer than he estimated.

This was done when Zange Network had a world engine and he had a world editor to assist him. Without these two artifacts, Chen Tiancai guessed that to make "Legend Chang'an", it would take at least one more time now. Year and a half.

Three and a half to five years is actually the approximate time it takes for a 3A game to be produced.

At present, the company has set the official release date of "Legend Chang'an"-2022.6.26.

It doesn’t have any special meaning, it’s just that this time is just after next year’s E3, and at that time the game discs will also be produced and shipped to all over the world.

Of course, it didn't take more than two months to enter the market, mainly because the various things of the limited edition were more complicated than Chen Tiancai thought.

The main reason is that there is a model of Chang'an City that can be assembled in the first edition of the deluxe game. The approximate volume is one square meter, which is very huge.

It is not easy to design this set of assembled toys. The time given by the domestic manufacturer is three months, and it requires a lot of money to open the mold.

Although when it comes to assembling toys, the most powerful ones are Lego and Bandai, the price of these two is beyond Chen Tiancai’s affordability, and this is only a limited edition item of a game, if it is too expensive, the price will increase again , not conducive to sales.

In recent years, the technology of domestic toy manufacturers has also been developing. Although it is still not as good as that of foreign countries, the quality is guaranteed, and the price is mainly affordable.

Chen Tiancai's way of doing business is still the same as his father taught him, if he can let his own people do as much as possible, let his own people do as much as possible.

It’s all about spreading money anyway, so wouldn’t it be better to give it to your own people?

The main material of the luxury collection version of the Chang'an City model is wood, which is guaranteed by domestic technology. Now that Chen Tiancai has signed a contract with the manufacturer, he is waiting to see the first finished product.

In addition to the deluxe collector's edition, there is of course a deluxe limited edition, in which there is a plastic villain of the main character, which is easier to make, so I won't repeat it here.

To make a limited edition, of course, it can’t just come with some toys, but also a CD of the music collection, exquisitely printed maps, and even an 80-page collection of original paintings.

And in addition to this physical object, you also have to make some limited props in different versions, which is another time-consuming thing.

Watching "Legend Chang'an" take shape slowly, Chen Tiancai is still very excited, even this is the game he is most satisfied with so far.

The above are all prepared business practices. After all, price discrimination in all walks of life is now the norm.

Although Chen Tiancai's original intention of making games was not to make a lot of money, but for the development of employees and the company, the more money the better, so it is understandable to designate such a business behavior.

However, the difference between the normal version of "Legend Chang'an" and other versions is the normal difference in the industry. There is no deletion in the game content, and some special items are just icing on the cake. They can only be given to players who buy other versions in the early stage of the game. Provide some convenience.

However, there was one thing that surprised Chen Tiancai, that is, the contract to provide Tengyi with the world engine has not yet been approved by Tengyi's senior management.

Cheng Yu contacted Chen Tiancai once in November and told him that the problem inside was a bit complicated, but he had big bosses behind him to support him, and now it was a matter of persuading other relevant departments.

It will probably be done by March next year, and he will be notified when there is a clear statement.

Chen Tiancai heard the exhaustion from Cheng Yu's tone, and knew that he must have pulled countless skins and been stumbling a lot, so he let him relax and wait for the news slowly.

Teng Yi's body was too big, and it was normal for this to happen. After Chen Tiancai found out about the situation, he stopped paying attention.

However, Chen Tiancai can probably think of the reason why someone in Teng Yi was arguing this time.

The problem is that the domestic large-scale stand-alone market is actually not clear. It seems that the large number of users of the steam platform is actually very empty, and many of them are rushing to one or two games.

There are still a small number of players who develop the habit of buying stand-alone games. At this time, it is too long to spend a few small goals to cooperate with Anthem Network and use the world engine to develop games. The people who object are not because the other party has no good intentions. People who understand the domestic game environment.

Chen Tiancai knew this point from the time he founded Zange Network, so he always aimed his games at foreign players. After all, those places are the main consumption areas of console games.

However, Chen Tiancai believes that with the release of "Legend Chang'an", this game is bound to completely detonate the domestic game market, and even make high-level officials start to pay attention to this cultural industry. It won't be that far away.
