Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

In the experience shop on the first floor, a group of players are playing the game there.

"Oh, you pull the peasant!"

"Don't block the intersection!"

"Hidden dust!"

In front of a computer, a boy in his mid-20s was sitting there playing Warcraft.

In the game, an orc player is using Juggernaut to harass his farmers.

Behind him stood several players, looking incredulous.

But obviously, these people hooked shoulders and crossed their backs, obviously they knew each other.

"Oh, your operation, the sword saints of others have already run away, and you are just spreading the hidden dust. "

"Yes, yes, a whole team of big Gs has come out, why are you only 4 small infantry!" (The infantry of the beast clan is referred to as the big G)

Listening to the words of his companion behind him, the young man sitting in front of the computer also turned red.

Friends are friends, but you're a little too weird.

"Don't force it!

Finally, I couldn't help it, and the player sitting in front of the computer stood up suddenly, and then gave up the mouse and keyboard.

These keyboard warriors, where can he endure his violent temper?

In the face of this sudden 'storm', the few players standing behind him did not panic at all, and the person closest seemed to be prepared, and sat directly on the sofa chair and decisively put on the headphones.

"I'll go up, I'll go up, study hard, watch well!"

While talking, the other party took over the game with an excited face.

The other people next to him also showed regretful expressions at this time, and their movements were slow!

The boy who gave up his seat looked at his friend sitting there playing "Warcraft" with a beautiful face, and stood in place for a moment.

How does he feel, he seems to be tricked?

During the lunch break, Chen Xu, who came down from the second floor, couldn't help but be speechless when he noticed this scene.

The whole experience store is actually not too big, a total of about 20 computers, plus more than a dozen mobile phones.

There are only products that are pre-installed on it.

"Under the Legend", "Genki Knight", "Three Kingdoms Killing", "The Shore of the Land" and the just-launched "Warcraft".

But with the popularity of "Warcraft", some players nearby also heard the news, which made Chen Xu speechless for a while.

"Mr. Chen is here!"

"Really, where is it?"

At this time, someone noticed Chen Xu coming down from upstairs, and suddenly showed a surprised expression.

At the same time, a vote of players came around.

"Mr. Chen, will Alsace become a villain in the future?"

"Yes, yes, and Mr. Chen, where did Illidan go in the end?"

"Mr. Chen, how can the night elves fight the beast clan!"

"Mr. Chen, when will there be a sequel!"

With Chen Xu's arrival, a group of players around him rushed over to ask Chen Xu relevant questions.

Compared with before, many players present were not very unfamiliar with Chen Xu, unlike when they came for the first time, they still wanted to take a group photo with Chen Xu.

Now they're more focused on the game.

"There must be follow-up content about Warcraft, but it's not now, after all, "Warcraft" has only been online for a long time, and we have some new content in development later. "

"As for the gameplay, this is something that players need to study for themselves. Chen Xu looked at everyone and said with a smile.

I chatted casually with these players in the experience store for a while, and many people gave some suggestions during this period.

However, what made Chen Xu speechless was that none of the suggestions given by these people were related to games.

For example, if you can add a little more computer in the experience store, the location is a little insufficient, if the computer can't be added, can you add a little more stool, and it's a little tiring to stand behind people and watch others play.

Some also expressed their hope that the experience store could sell some cakes, milk tea, fried chicken burgers, and other afternoon tea food, after all, it is quite tiring to sit and play games all afternoon.

Listening to everyone's words, Chen Xu was also drunk.

Is this really using his experience store as an Internet café?

For this kind of request, Chen Xu naturally said NO.

At the same time, this is also a wake-up call for Chen Xu, that is, the time in the experience store.

When there were few people before, he didn't care.

After all, there are more machines than people, and players can play as long as they want.

But now there are more and more players every day.

And in the case of new game development in the future, there are some games, and Chen Xu will also experience the store offline in advance and conduct an early test.

So it definitely can't be like now, each player is bound to an ID card, and there is a time limit for the experience.

After walking around, Chen Xu went back to the second floor and told Han Yue about this matter.

After all, the original intention of opening the experience store, Chen Xu wanted to get more feedback on the game from the players.

Whether it's reasonable or unreasonable, it can bring some enlightenment.

I don't really want to open an Internet café.

"By the way, Mr. Chen, Shark TV contacted us just now, saying that he hopes to get an authorization for a "Warcraft" competitive event. Han Yue said to Chen Xu.

"Athletics? Hearing Han Yue's words, Chen Xu was slightly stunned and asked.

E-sports events, this part is actually in Chen Xu's plan.

After all, Warcraft is a competitive game.

It's just that I've been developing the game before, and I haven't had time to have a detailed layout and in-depth understanding of this part.

Hearing Chen Xu's words, Han Yue also hurriedly talked about this matter in detail.

Listening to Han Yue's introduction, Chen Xu also showed a sudden expression.

E-sports events have not been held in this world.

It's just basically a petty fight.

Why?

The main thing is still one point.

That is, you can't make a lot of money.

Why do you organize e-sports competitions and form clubs?

To promote the game, because you love it?

This was naturally the case in the early days.

But this is obviously not the case later, naturally for the money.

If you don't pay enough attention to the popularity of the game and can't make money, how can the game go on.

In addition, the world-related large-scale events are also quite formal, and an authorization from the game manufacturer is required.

This adds another level of difficulty to the holding of the event.

Of course, the small kind of Internet café competition, you don't have the authorization to do it, and no one will trouble you.

If it weren't for the fact that the momentum of Warcraft seemed to be extremely hot, it is estimated that no one on Shark TV would have come to them for authorization for Fengyun Games.

It's just that looking at the request of Shark TV, Chen Xu couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

It's also the largest live broadcast platform in China, and you've come to them to buy a license, but your pattern is too small, right?

According to the meaning of Shark TV, it is said to be a competition, but in fact, it is more like an activity on its own platform.

The contestants are basically an anchor on their own platform.

Of course, the licensing fee that should be given to Fengyun Games, Shark TV will also give it.

"Help me make an appointment with the person in charge of Shark TV, I want to talk to the other party about the event. Chen Xu thought for a moment and said to Han Yue.

In the case of e-sports events, Chen Xu was prepared to hold them from the beginning.

It's not for money or anything, to be honest, Chen Xu really doesn't care about the income from running competitions.

What Chen Xu cares about most is this kind of e-sports event, which is a promotion for the game.

The popularity of "League of Legends" and "DOTA" in the previous life can be inseparable from the success of the annual S tournament and TI, as well as the quarterly tournaments.

There is a boom in e-sports events, and e-sports events are booming, which in turn feeds back the game.
