i really just want to play games

Chapter 164 Four Project Teams

Chen Tiancai likes the kind of small and beautiful games very much, and his personal work "Hymn" series also came from this way.

However, due to its immaturity at that time, "Hymn" only satisfied Chen Tiancai's personal requirements in the second generation, and at least had complete gameplay.

Therefore, during the golden sales period of "Anthem 2", its sales exceeded 200 million copies.

The price of "Hymn 2" is still not high. It is still priced at 18 yuan for the first generation. This may be the reason why its sales volume exceeds "Hymn 1" this time.

After all, the private works of well-known game designers still sound a bit compelling.

Everything in modern society is moving towards industrialization, from the initial manufacturing industry to the current entertainment industry.

This is particularly prominent in the film and television industry and the gaming industry.

To use a metaphor, Anthem Network is actually a complete game production factory, and every clearly defined employee is actually a member of the assembly line.

As for Chen Tiancai's "Song of Hymn" or a horizontal version of the game that he wants to practice, it is like an artist who sets up a stall on the street, and he pays attention to a casual style.

With the rise of Zange Network in the past two years, the domestic game environment has undergone visible changes, and well-known or unknown manufacturers have begun to produce stand-alone 3D games.Although some of these games are considered qualified, and some still have many shortcomings, domestic stand-alone players still care for these seedlings like babies, hoping that these companies can thrive.

This is a new trend, which means that domestic players have greatly improved their game aesthetics.

The road along the way was bumpy, and it was not easy to get to where we are now. Therefore, Chen Tiancai would also visit the steam platform to buy these domestic 3D stand-alone games, then experience them carefully, and then express his opinions on the store interface of these games. .

It is said that colleagues in the industry are enemies, but in Chen Tiancai’s view, the involution in the game industry is actually not that serious, because each game has its own life cycle. It is like watching a TV series. After watching this one, the audience will naturally Will go for the next one.

Every year, after a bunch of new works appear at those large game exhibitions, players will only decide which game to buy next after watching it, instead of just playing this one next year.

In contrast, the involution of mobile games or online games is obvious, because these games emphasize the retention of players and the time spent every day.

Therefore, manufacturers of these games have to use various means to retain players, so that players become more and more tired after playing until they give up this game.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Tiancai set a specific operation period for "Hunting Crisis". It is less than a year away from its life cycle. With the update of the last version, "Hunting Crisis" The number of players online will be less and less, and in the end it is to see which day the game will be closed.

Currently, Zange Network is divided into four teams.

The first one is naturally the "Legend Chang'an" project team, which is in charge of Pei Guangming. Although the game will be released soon, there are still a lot of dlc content to be produced, as well as the online mode later.

The second is the current "Hunting Crisis" project team, which is currently in charge of Pei Guangming. This project team has the least number of people, because the main work is no longer there, and it is the daily online operation.

The third is of course Suo Dafa's β plan. Li Zhu was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Chen Tiancai this time, and he was determined to come up with a high-quality exclusive line phone to consolidate the position of Ange Network in the industry.

The last one is the copywriting team in charge of Feng Bi, which is independent from other project teams and is responsible for providing high-quality texts and stories.

It can also be said that the copywriting team is the expression of Chen Tiancai's game design philosophy, which he has never changed.

Starting from last year's E3, Chen Tiancai has really integrated into the capital circle of the game industry, and has also been favored by two of the three companies. Not only did he receive investment, but he also received various other benefits.

Coupled with the funds obtained from Tengyi's two cooperations, Zange Network's current book is very beautiful, and there are seven small goals for bank deposits alone.

Five of them were recently given by Tengyi, the rest is the first remittance from Suo Dafa, and the other zero is the daily surplus of Ange Network.

Chen Tiancai didn't know much about finance, but he could still understand the specific general ledger.

"The spending is really the same as running water." After reading the latest financial report, Chen Tiancai said involuntarily.

In the past two years, the total income of Anthem Network has been quite a lot. The two parts of "Anthem" and the operation of "Hunting Crisis" are almost the income of three small targets.

Only a small half and about [-]% of this part was used on the Zange network, and the rest of the expenses were all thrown to Guan Yu's laboratory.

"Even if we burn it directly, I don't think Guan Yu can spend the money as quickly." Putting aside the financial report, Chen Tiancai decided to go up and take a look. After all, so much money has been spent, one has to look at it from time to time to feel at ease.

Because of the introduction of the laboratory production line, the laboratory on the top floor has doubled in size. When Chen Tiancai went up, he saw Guan Yu leading people to debug new equipment.

If 'Shimmer' is to be oriented to consumers, it is natural to produce finished products first, and the prototype machine built by hand in the laboratory is naturally not good, after all, product production still has to be placed in the factory.

Guan Yu showed Chen Tiancai the prototype of the first-generation 'Shimmer' that had already been built.

This prototype is almost the size of a ps5, and it has to be plugged in at all times, and there is only one poor imaging system, and the items that can be displayed are only about the size of a mug.

The specific imaging components are actually not that big, that is, the size of a USB connector, but the computing power and energy supply it requires are too large, and Guan Yu's current progress can only reach this level.

Fortunately, the two talents Guan Yu mentioned have already been contacted, and research can begin next month. I believe that with their participation, these two difficulties will eventually be overcome.

After encouraging Guan Yu, Chen Tiancai went back to the office area downstairs, intending to see Li Zhu's thoughts on Project β.

Although there are four specific project teams, all employees of Anthem Network still work in one office, and there is no division.

It is precisely because of this that the entire work area of ​​Anthem Network now occupies this floor of the office, and many walls have been opened in the middle.

The middle part is the copywriting area, because they are needed by three project teams, so placing them in the middle is naturally to save time.

As soon as he walked to the office area, Chen Tiancai heard the loud sound of keyboards, as well as the noise of a lot of discussions.

If Chen Tiancai hadn't been used to it a long time ago, he might have come in because it was a department store.

Arriving at the northernmost part of the office area, Chen Tiancai pushed open Li Zhu's office and saw the "Iron Triangle" having a heated discussion.

The "Mr. Salted Fish" sent by Suo Dafa were sitting on the sofa, nodding constantly, as if they were cheering for the red-faced "Iron Triangle".
