i really just want to play games

Chapter 226
When he got home in the evening and just sat down at the table, Chen Tiancai received a phone call. He had not seen this number for a while.

The owner of this number is none other than his old boss when he was an intern at Chaoyang Network, Liu Cheng, the chief planner of Chaoyang Network.

"Hey, Brother Liu, how are you doing?" Chen Tiancai said with a smile, and there was no strange feeling in his tone.

After resigning from Chaoyang Network, Liu Cheng and him would also make a few phone calls every year, in addition to talking about some industry matters, that is, chatting about their current situation.

"Mr. Chen just got off work? I thought I made this phone for you?" Liu Cheng also had a cheerful tone. The only change was probably that Xiao Chen became Mr. Chen.

Chen Tiancai looked at his watch and found that it was only 09:30 in the evening, so he said, "It's good to come out and do it yourself, Brother Liu, are you still off work?"

"I'm envious!" Liu Cheng's tone was sour, and then he said: "Our latest game has just been launched. It is a critical time. I should stay in the company all night tonight."

"Need to spend time staring at it?" Chen Tiancai changed his hand to hold the phone, and opened the steam platform client by the way, intending to see how a game that Chaoyang Network just launched is doing.

Chaoyang Network has not completely abandoned the mobile game market. After all, this is where they have been cultivating for ten years. However, in the past few years, the development team led by Liu Cheng has launched a total of three small-scale console games, and the sales volume has always been good. The average Between 40 and [-].

The latest game is a business strategy game with a capacity of about [-] MB. It uses a mosaic style of painting. The main background of the game is a fictional Middle Ages. The main market is overseas.

The style of this game is more like the pixel-style "Horse Riding and Blade". There are many references, but there are also many unique features.

"What should I do if I don't have time, Fang Jingtang is three years older than me, and is 45 years old, so I have to endure it." Liu Cheng's tone was very flat, and he mentioned an old colleague of Chen Tiancai by the way.

"It's not bad. Your new game sold [-] as soon as it was launched today. It still has great potential. You should do more marketing in the future." Chen Tiancai has found Chaoyang Network's new game at this moment, and took a look. After the sales volume was spoken out loud.

"Then Mr. Chen must not support one?" Although Liu Cheng's tone was a little tired, he still started a joke with Chen Tiancai.

"Already bought, downloading now. 3^2^1, okay." Chen Tiancai counted the seconds. Under the latest high-speed network, the [-] MB content was downloaded within ten seconds.

"Thank you for your support, Mr. Chen. If you have nothing to do tonight, would you like to come over for a late-night snack?" Liu Cheng's tone became even happier and he directly extended the invitation.

"I really want to go, I kind of miss the wonton noodles downstairs in the company, but I have to go to the company early tomorrow, wait for the next opportunity!" Chen Tiancai actually wants to go, but tomorrow is the day when the relocation of the hymn laboratory is completed, as a Boss, he has to go take a look.

"Unfortunately, I wanted to ask you about the world engine." Liu Cheng said.

Although Chen Tiancai and Liu Cheng are now considered old friends, the industry they are in is extremely busy, and it is normal for them to contact each other when they need help.

"The world engine is easy to talk about. Why don't you come to Zange Network tomorrow afternoon, Brother Liu, and let's talk about it in detail." Chen Tiancai has already clicked on Chaoyang Network's new game at this time, intending to see their current production level of stand-alone games.

"That's not bad, let's meet tomorrow." Liu Cheng yawned, and then said: "That's all for now, I'm going to move the folding bed out for a while, otherwise I won't be able to survive the night .”

"OK, bye."

"Goodbye."

In fact, Chen Tiancai had been waiting for this call from Liu Cheng for three months, because he had already foreseen that when the world engine was released, Liu Cheng would definitely call him.

Anyway, in Chen Tiancai's mind, Liu Cheng and Chaoyang Network have always been his first teachers to enter the game industry. Without working experience in Chaoyang Network, he knows that even if he has a world editor, he will not put the hymn The network works so well.

After finishing the conversation, Chen Tiancai started to play Chaoyang Network's new game.

Although it is full of the visual sense of "Horse and Blade", in addition to the game creativity, this game of Chaoyang Network is indeed of good quality, and because of the mosaic style, although the characters lose the sense of reality in the 3D game, but The design is very cute and pleasing.

"You did a good job." Chen Tiancai closed it after playing for more than an hour, because he had already seen Liu Cheng's current strength.

Although the style of this game called "Middle World War" is weaker, both the simple interface and the filling of the game content are very solid.

And in terms of freedom, it is also very similar to "Riding and Blade". With this style, I believe that the reason why Liu Cheng chose the mosaic style is that he can move him to the mobile phone.

Mobile stand-alone games have always been a very embarrassing point. The main reason is that the market is too small. However, through the cultivation of some domestic APPs in recent years, Chen Tiancai feels that the mobile game version of "Middle World War" should also have a sales volume of more than 20. .

Calculating this way, if it can sell better on the steam platform, it will not be difficult for this game to exceed one million sales.

"Preparing to use the world engine, it seems that I want to do 3A."

After judging Liu Cheng's current ability, Chen Tiancai immediately sensed his intentions.

Counting this recent game, Liu Cheng has developed four low-cost, small-scale stand-alone games in recent years.

Chen Tiancai made a rough estimate based on the sales of these four games, and found that Liu Cheng's games made money, and they made a lot of money in such low-cost games.

Now that an artifact like the World Engine is in front of Liu Cheng, of course he will choose to try a project like 3A.

Through the chat, Chen Tiancai also knew that Chaoyang Network had been profitable since the year before last, and the accumulated cash flow was enough for Liu Cheng to develop a 3A game.

The biggest reason for this is the emergence of the world engine, otherwise Liu Cheng's plan may have to wait for a year or two.

Chen Tiancai welcomes this situation very much, and one of the reasons why he announced the world engine is to support the domestic 3A market.

"But I'm afraid this matter is not that simple, otherwise he would have told me on the phone just now." Chen Tiancai still knew Liu Cheng quite well, so he didn't say it out loud, fearing that he had something to hide.

"Forget it, let's go to bed first, and wait for him to come over tomorrow to see what's going on." Chen Tiancai didn't hesitate anymore, and went straight to bed to rest.
