Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

As the days passed, Christmas was approaching in a little more than a month.

During this period, many game companies also promoted their own games.

Among these games, there are basically more terminal games on the PC platform, followed by mobile games.

As for the VR platform, Interactive Entertainment has also acted as an agent for an overseas VR masterpiece.

And on the market, games with Western fantasy themes have also come out in a bunch for a while.

There are also quite a few RTS games.

If the reason is for this, it is naturally self-evident, it is all stimulated by "Warcraft".

It's just that most of these RTS-type games are basically a light death.

Even if there are some good quality, but I am afraid of comparing goods.

Compared with "Warcraft", one by one is like Dong Shi Xiaofeng.

However, some games that are themselves Western fantasy themes, but are ARPG gameplay, have not been greatly affected.

On the contrary, "Warcraft" has driven the trend of Western fantasy themes, but it has some benefits.

Inside the Tenghua studio.

You Zifang and Tao Fa sat in the office, looking at a message on the Internet, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Counting the domestic, the global sales of "Warcraft" have exceeded 10 million copies!" Tao Fa was a little incredible, and a little lucky.

Fortunately, his head was not iron at the beginning, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately adjusted the current period when the game was launched, and avoided it for more than a month before it was launched.

Sales weren't affected much, and his opponent was miserable.

Thinking of this, he was very happy in his heart.

The wanderer next to him was also a little embarrassed.

When facing "Genki Knight", he didn't take Chen Xu seriously.

When facing "Three Kingdoms Killing" and "The Shore of the Land", he felt that Chen Xu was a strong opponent, and he was much worse at that time.

But now in the face of "Warcraft", he has been completely convinced.

He had to admit that there was a huge gap between him and Chen Xu.

"It should have broken the highest sales of RTS games, right?" You Zifang sighed.

"The highest should be the dynasty produced by UEgame, but it belongs to a whole series, nearly ten games are 7 years away from the first one, if there is a single one, then Warcraft is the only RTS game that has reached tens of millions. Tao Fa also said with emotion.

With tens of millions of RTS games, it can be said that when it comes to RTS games in the game industry in the future, "Warcraft" will be an insurmountable peak.

And Chen Xu's name, when mentioning the category of RTS, there is absolutely no way to bypass it.

Thinking of this, Tao Fa couldn't help but feel a trace of envy in his heart.

However, I don't know what genre the next Chen Xu's game will be. You Zifang said with some curiosity.

"It should be a sequel to Warcraft, if you look at the story above, it hasn't been finished yet, such as whether Arthas became the Lich King, and what happened to Illidan, these stories are still said. Listening to You Zifang's words, Tao Fa didn't pay much attention and said casually.

It's kind of a conventional way of thinking.

However, You Zifang has a feeling that Chen Xu is not such a person.

Just like when he first developed "Under the Legend", everyone thought that he was going to continue to develop a homogeneous game.

But who would have thought that he didn't mean this at all, but developed a "Genki Knight".

After that, "Three Kingdoms Killing", "The Shore of the Land" and "Warcraft" can be said to be very unexpected.

Just when You Zifang and Tao Fa were chatting, You Zifang's mobile phone on the table suddenly rang.

glanced at the caller ID, and the boss of Tenghua's game department, Lin Jiayi, called.

Hurriedly connected, and then listened to the content on the other end of the phone, You Zifang's expression changed, revealing an extremely surprised expression.

"What's wrong?" Looking at the strange expression of Youzifang who put down his mobile phone, Tao Fa next to him was a little curious, and at the same time had some emotion in his heart.

The boss on the top calls directly, and this treatment is not something that ordinary people can enjoy.

Although it is said that You Zifang is his deputy in this project now, Tao Fa knows that in the future, You Zifang will definitely be higher than him, so this is also very polite.

"Mr. Lin called me and told me that if I want to read a document, Chen Xu's next game may be a pixel game. You Zifang's expression was a little subtle at this time.

Pixel-like!

Just like the expression of You Zifang just now, Tao Fa was also stunned.

The two of them discussed a lot on this topic, but who would have thought that Chen Xu's next game would be pixels?

In fact, there are many excellent works in pixel games, but they are basically independent games.

If a game designer doesn't have money, he or she will basically choose a pixel game.

But are you Chen Xu a person who is short of money?

"Warcraft" has sold more than 10 million worldwide, and although its revenue has not been announced, the statistics of third-party websites are also a number, about 800 million.

Even if the error is 100 million units, it is an incredible number.

In addition, "The Shore of the Land", which is still hanging on the best-selling list, has launched "Three Kingdoms Killing", which can be rushed with new skins.

It can be said that Fengyun Games is completely not bad for money.

As a result, the new product is a pixel game?

This moment made You Zifang and Tao Fa stunned.

Not only the two of them, but also other game designers and manufacturers in the game industry have also received this news.

You must know that Chen Xu is the game designer who developed "Warcraft" after all.

Many people are still paying close attention to his every move.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Chen Xu did not carry out much confidentiality work on his side.

Because it's not very critical.

What if you knew he was doing pixel games?

Do you know the core elements?

I don't know?

However, compared with Chen Xu, who knows the charm of "Minecraft", there are also Qin Yi and others who participated in the development.

The rest of the game designers are now confused by Chen Xu's operation.

"What do you think Chen Xu thinks?"

"yes, what do you think? Now he shouldn't be short of money, right? Why is he going to do pixel games again?"

"I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out. "

"If I can guess Chen Xu's thoughts, then "Warcraft" is what I did!"

"I can't guess at all!"

"I feel like it's a good thing, "Warcraft" was so strong before, and there was also the previous "Shore of the Land", in fact, I'm quite afraid of colliding with Chen Xu's game now, but now that he is doing pixel games, he can't still go against the sky, right?"

"Haha is also what I said, I feel that Tenghua or Yi Long are going to find an end, after all, "Warcraft" has beaten them enough before. "

"Also, if Chen Xu makes a "Warcraft 2", it feels like Tenghua and Yi Long will have to slow down, but the pixel game feels like Tenghua and Yi Long will definitely be true. "

"Not necessarily, wait and see for the time being, anyway, even if Chen Xu does pixel games, I'm not going to crash with him, what if he runs me over?"

"You're too timid, aren't you? Think about it, what if you run him over?"

With the news that Chen Xu's new work may be a pixel game, there was also a heated discussion in the game industry.

No way, a "Warcraft" is out.

If you really want to talk about the size of Fengyun Games, it can't be called a giant.

But in the RTS one-third of an acre, if Chen Xu wants to say the words of the domestic boss, at least now no one dares to refute it.

If you want to refute, then you can come up with an RTS with the same score as "Warcraft".

So its every move is still a lot of people's attention.
