Game company goes bankrupt? I backhand cyberpunk!

At the end of the month, Nanxing conducted a summary of this year.

This year, Nanxing has launched a number of games. It can be said that starting from April this year, Nanxing will launch a new game every month, and until October, it directly gave players a big wave - —2077!

Although 2077 has been on sale for two months, it has always been at the top of the list of popularity. After all, the sandbox mode after completing the game is also very fun.

Because 2077 produced by Nanxing has perfected the idea of ​​Mewtwo. It has added a variety of mini-games to Mewtwo, as well as some easter eggs from Nanxing games, as well as movie watching and some game plots. This design is enough to impress the players.

In Night City, if you can buy Mewtwo on the market, it will definitely work!

This is the biggest difference between Nan Xing and Jackass!

2077 made by stupid ass, I can buy Mewtwo, but I can’t use it, so it’s disgusting just thinking about it!

And secondly, there are the easter eggs created by Nanxing for Edgewalker fans.

After the player clears the game, he can receive a mission and find one of Rebecca's weapons in Night City, hiding it in a bush.

And you will also receive a customs clearance mission. Falco and Lucy will appear in the follow-up of that mission. Although neither of them showed up, the message left by Lucy reached the ears of the players, which is still for fans of Edgewalker. They brought a burst of emotion.

At least Lucy, she's not dead.

In the scene of Lucy thinking about David at the end of Edgewalker, many people interpreted Lucy to have committed suicide. But now, hearing Lucy's voice in person, Lucy lost David, but carried David. The hope left for her survived.

This is a good thing.

Therefore, it takes more than a hundred hours to complete the level, and you can still spend more than a hundred hours to play the sandbox mode in the game and enjoy some of the small details in the game. Of course, such a game will not become popular just because it has been released for two months. And become lower.

However, many players are already clamoring for DLC and game updates.

But how can it be updated so quickly? !

In short, 2077 is now one of the most popular games in the world, and Nanxing’s summary of this year, in terms of profit, is definitely a lot of profit, but also a lot of expenses.

2077 has just started to make a profit, and as soon as it makes a profit, it starts to spend money on new projects.

Overwatch’s CG production has generated eight figures in just ten days!

That’s tens of millions!

But it’s also related to Nan Xing’s generosity, because Nan Xing is making two CGs at once this time. To be honest, Nan Xing is the only one who has the courage to produce CGs as soon as the game project is launched, right? And we do two at a time!

One of the CGs produced by Overwatch this time is the well-known Double Dragon, and the other is the most classic promotional video - the world needs more heroes.

It is estimated that it will take two months to complete. The game will take three to five months to produce, and the CG production will take almost half the time.

Therefore, Lin Yuan simply announced the game that Nanxing will produce next year.

And when Lin Yuan revealed to the outside world that Nanxing was going to make an online game next, the gaming community went into an uproar.

Stand-alone and online games are two channels. If stand-alone games are good, it does not mean that online games can also be good.

Therefore, under Lin Yuan's Weibo, some fans began to advise Lin Yuan not to get involved in online games, and begged Lin Yuan to do a good job in stand-alone games! Save the domestic game market.

And more fans believe that with Lin Ce's talent, although online games and stand-alone games are two different directions, maybe Lin Ce can do it well?

After all, did Lin Yuan bring them too many miracles?

Because of this, a new discussion has arisen in Nanxing's Super Talk, that is - do you support Nanxing in making online games?

The final voting score showed that more than 110,000 people supported it, while only over 30,000 people did not support it.

Generally speaking, more fans are still willing to believe in Lin Yuan.

They are rational. Nanxing has never touched the theme of online games, but it doesn't mean that Nanxing can't do it, right?

And this reason also surprised Lin Yuan.

It also deepened Lin Yuan’s belief that Overwatch should be done well and handed over to players.

You must not be like Blizzard, who has a good hand but plays poorly!

The more they make, the more rubbish they make, and the more they are updated, the worse they get. Designers who have shackled themselves, ah, are really pure cerebral palsy!

On New Year's Eve, Nan Xing gave a rare interview to gaming media.

Lin Yuan, Feng Shuyun and Li Lin were the interviewees, and the media party doing the interview was Tianyou. Well, Tianyou came on behalf of the majority of players, because Lin Yuan disappeared after announcing that Nanxing was going to make an online game. .

The kind that completely disappears!

Damn it, they just said they were going to make an online game, but they didn’t say what type it would be!

There are so many types of online games, who knows what type of game Nanxing will make?

The post bar was in a quarrel because of this incident. Most people thought that Nanxing would make a role-playing mmorpg, some thought that it would make a card game, and some thought that Nanxing would make an online sandbox game, but they were immediately refuted. , because Nanshan Games, a branch of Nanxing, has already made a sandbox casual online game, isn't Moore Manor the same?

Role-playing turn-based and MMORPGs are the loudest.

The netizens in the bar were arguing and voting, and even the bar owner finally analyzed the results, had a long discussion, and studied the possibility of new game types with the bar friends.

These guys ended up making trouble with Tianyou. As a game platform, Tianyou naturally has a community of players. After seeing how enthusiastic the players were, Luo Feng proposed to interview Nanxing and get traffic bonuses at the same time. He also changed directions to help Nanxing promote the new game.

That’s why the New Year’s Eve interview happened.

About the recent discussions among fans, the three of you should know about it, right?

On Tianyou's live broadcast platform, tens of thousands of viewers have poured into the specially opened live broadcast room.

In the conference room, Zuo Xuan and Luo Feng, one was in charge of photography and the other was in charge of interviews.

Opposite Zuo Xuan, who was smiling, were the Three Musketeers of Nanxing, the boss Feng Shuyun, the second boss Lin Yuan, and the third boss Li Lin!

I know, and I'm very happy that players can pay such enthusiastic attention to our affairs. Feng Shuyun said.

Is it convenient to reveal what type of game it is? I think this is what Nanxing game players want to know the most.

Lin Yuan answered the question: The new game is a gun shooting game. What can be revealed now is that the new game will be a shooting game that subverts players' understanding of FPS games. We have integrated new models and created A different FPS game.

A shooting game that combines new modes? Zuo Xuan was a little surprised.

In the live broadcast room, barrages flew up.

【fps? I think it's okay. The gun battle in 2077 is very well done and has a strong impact. 】

[To be honest, with experience in 2077, there are no games on the market that Nanxing cannot conquer, right? 】

[No matter how novel an FPS game is, how novel can it be? 】

[Can I have a 2077mmoprg? The online version of 2077 is definitely super fun! 】

[The question asked by the host could be more sharp! 】

I'm personally looking forward to it, so when will the new game be released?

The game should be available to everyone in four months. As we all know, our Nanxing rarely delays tickets. Lin Yuan said with a smile.

Zuo Xuan also laughed, because Nan Xing really didn't have delays in making games.

High production and high quality are the main labels of Nanxing.

Secondly, what players want to know most is how they plan to charge for the new game? Will it be a point-based card system or will it be charged for items? Zuo Xuan asked a very tricky question.

This problem, I think, is that it is easy to discourage some players.

As an FPS game, it is definitely focused on competition, and fairness is of course the most important. However, if an FPS game uses a point card system to charge, it would be too abstract, and charging for props will definitely affect the fairness in the game. Powerful Weapons and props will definitely affect balance.

As for appearance charges?

To be honest, it is difficult for current game companies to make money by charging for appearance, and there is even a possibility of sudden death in the game. After all, Steam’s CS series has already occupied the accessories market.

As an evergreen tree in shooting games, the CS series has been around for more than ten years. If you want to do well in the charging model of accessories, you must first have a good trading market, but a new game may create something that convinces players. Trading market?

Of course it's impossible.

The question of whether accessories are expensive or not is caused by the long-term operation of the game, company marketing, and player communication.

After all, whether or not the skin is available does not affect the gameplay of the game. Can a better-looking gun affect the player's level?

Of course not.

So Zuo Xuanwen's question is really tricky.

Lin Yuan gave the answer:

It's a free game

Well, after hearing these four words, Zuo Xuan's first reaction was that Nanxing's new game was either a powerful weapon that charges for props and affects the balance, or it imitated CS and traded in accessories.

But what Lin Yuan said next surprised Zuo Xuan.

But we will adopt a new charging model, which I call pass charging. Lin Yuan said.

Pass fee? Lin Ce, can you tell us about the mechanism? Zuo Xuan asked.

Pass fee. To be honest, Zuo Xuan has never heard of this term at all.

Of course, there is nothing to hide. Lin Yuan nodded, and then continued: The so-called pass fee means that players can choose to purchase it or not, and then upgrade the pass to obtain the corresponding game props. Please don't worry, we will not Instead of providing props that affect the balance of the game, we provide some props such as skins, voices, and expressions.”

. Zuo Xuan didn't understand.

Can this really make money?

What Zuo Xuan didn't know was that Lin Yuan was very confident about this charging model.

The earliest pass consumption was born in Dota2, but it was developed in Fortnite.

In later generations, this model has become the permanent charging model for most games. Low consumption and high returns are a consumption model that makes players feel that they have made money.

But do players really make money?

In fact, it is difficult to say. Because the price of the pass is generally not very expensive, but the only disadvantage is that players need to be online for a long time and constantly play games to upgrade the level of the pass to unlock props.

For some players who have little time to play games, or players who get bored of a game quickly, this charging model will be a very bad experience.

However, this is a way to ensure the number of daily active users of the game.

And if the game is fun, players will definitely buy passes and be happy to spend time on the game. If the game is fun, then players will definitely make money by spending time on it and getting a lot of props with low consumption.

As for whether Nanxing makes money, of course it does.

Because Lin Yuan really believed in the early popularity of Overwatch. This game was rated as electronically hly! Lin Yuan was brainwashed by a video of a black man shouting to turn off Overwatch.

Which of the earliest players who came into contact with Overwatch would dare to say that they are not addicted?

If you have plenty of time and can sit in front of the computer for a long time, then if you have time but are not online for ten hours a day, you won’t dare to say that you are a qualified Overwatch player!

Then, Zuo Xuan asked several more questions in succession.

Li Lin also answered a few questions. He was pushed out by Lin Yuan.

As the future main programmer of Nanxing, Li Lin of course has to show up.

The questions he answered were all related to the internal situation of Overwatch. Secondly, Feng Shuyun answered several questions about Nanxing's future plans, and Lin Yuan answered several questions about what kind of games Nanxing would make in the future.

This live broadcast was not long, only about 40 minutes from start to finish, but it was full of useful information.

After finishing the interview, Zuo Xuan and Luo Feng flew back to Pengcheng overnight, planning to write an interview announcement that night and introduce the interview with Nan Xing on Tianyou.

At the same time, this interview also makes Nanxing fans full of expectations.

Because Lin Yuan was so confident in the live broadcast, his confident performance also made Nanxing fans full of expectations for the new game.

If other companies say they want to create an FPS game that subverts players' imagination, then players will probably think that the game is bragging.

When FPS is made, isn’t it also about shooting?

But if the person who said this was Nan Xing, then the players would believe it.

Because Lin Yuan had already let them know what the word creativity meant.

They really believed in Lin Yuan's imagination!

And time passes little by little on days like this.

Soon, the time came to early February.

The New Year has passed, this year's Spring Festival is on the 10th, and Nanxing has prepared for the holiday early.

Last year, Li Lin’s team had never rested for 2077. Not long after 2077 was completed, Li Lin’s team took less than a month’s rest and started working on Overwatch again. So this year’s Spring Festival , Li Lin’s team has holidays.

Although Overwatch failed to do well, there was still plenty of time.

Only with proper rest can you work better, right?

And there is good news, that is, the CG of Overwatch has also been produced.

On February 6th, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Nanxing's newly registered Overwatch team, formed by Nanxing's new department, dozens of college students recruited in December, and some old employees, registered at Station B and Weibo. Got his official title.

The user name of Weibo and Station B is Overwatch.

In the afternoon of that day,

Nanxing Weibo, Lin Yuan Weibo, and the broken Nanxing official account simultaneously forwarded a piece of content.

The names of the video and Weibo content are as follows——

This world needs more heroes. 》
