The strongest game producer

This interview was also watched by many people in the industry.Xiao Gou has been a benchmark and trendy existence in the industry since he started making holographic games. This time he chose to make a game with a different taste from the judges. Although some game makers gloat over others' misfortune, they can't help but want to hear Xiao Gou's opinion.

They also understand in their hearts that Xiao Gou is the originator of the plot.If Xiao Gou wanted to cater to the taste of the judges, it would be very easy.But now Xiao Gou is doing the opposite, which makes them feel a little uneasy.Unknowingly, Xiao Gou's behavior has become one of their important reference indicators for the market prospect.

In this interview, Xiao Gou once again emphasized the concept of "fun" games.Xiao Gou also emphasized it before, and the people around heard it and thought Xiao Gou was emphasizing the high sales volume of his games.Now Xiao Gou emphasized again that finally someone came to realize whether Xiao Gou was implying something, such as his game concept or something.

Thinking about it carefully, although the games made by Xiao Gou do pay attention to the plot, the gameplay is not bad at the same time.Except that Xianjian is a standard RPG, every game he makes has added a new gameplay system.These gameplays have been turned into an essential system in the game by similar games.For example, the free creation elements in the prehistoric world, the team confrontation mode in the spirit war, the survival mode in the endless world, etc. In Assassin's Creed, stealth and backstab also provide good inspiration for action game makers.

Moreover, even if there is a sign of rushing to work, as a traditional RPG, its combat system is very fun, reaching the peak at that time.When Immortal Sword One was first released, no one said that this game was rushing to work. It was only after seeing the game released by Xiao Gou. In addition to adding a plot, Immortal Sword is an RPG game with a well-regulated system and gameplay. Red Dog is indeed a taste of being understaffed and under-timed.

Now the game industry seems to have gone to the other extreme from paying no attention to the plot at all in the past-they seem to pay too much attention to the plot, and have lost the motivation to explore the gameplay.Originally, they thought that this year's best game, the game of Doomsday Ruins, should have a big chance of winning, because its plot is most in line with the appetite of the judges.But if you think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing attractive about this game except for the plot.

Assassin's Creed has a stealth backstab Leap of Faith, Paladin II has a combo weakness system for execution, and the chemical engine of Jinghuayuan is even more amazing. These three games are very fun. Players commented that these are permanent holograms. Equipment, a good game that you will not get tired of playing many times.

Looking back at the ruins of the doomsday, it seems that after watching the plot, players have no interest in revisiting it.Even though the spoiler protection of Ruins of Doom is very good this time, and the sales volume is not affected by the video clearance, it is still slightly inferior to the other three games.

Now Stella is playing the "this is a work of art" promotion.Their argument is that just like award-winning literary and artistic movies are generally not blockbusters, games are the same. What they do is art, and they don’t pursue the market, so the market performance is slightly worse, but this just proves that the ruins of the doomsday are a game. Like a literary film, a game like a work of art.

But listen to what Xiao Gou said in the talk show, the initial and ultimate purpose of games and games is to have fun.No matter what systems are developed in the game, no matter what emotions are conveyed in the game, the essence of the game remains the same.The game makers have many years of experience in the game industry, and they are also senior game players themselves, so they can understand the unfinished meaning of Xiao Gou's words.

Games are for playing, not watching.If you want to see it, why not go to the movies?The holographic film market is so hot now, and you won't beat a few mobs halfway through watching a movie to break the rhythm.

The game maker was thinking about it, and before he could figure out why, he was caught off guard by Xiao Gou's last news.

New game designer?Your game designer in Huaguo is updating too fast, isn't it?How do you let us game makers who regard our technology as a treasure deal with ourselves?If we continue to update, the treasures in our hands will become waste products, and we have to buy a game designer from you Huaguo!

Although Huaguo's game designer does not block technology like these game manufacturers, Xiao Gou has been trying his best to promote his own technology, publicizing that everyone (as long as they give money) can eat meat, but he was originally a technology exporter, but now he has changed. As an importer, how can I feel better?

The game makers really want to continue to instigate the government to launch an anti-dumping investigation on Red Dog, or something else, to slow down Red Dog's seemingly benevolent behavior, which actually seriously damages their interests.They don't want to have technology beyond their own, unless this technology is in their own hands.

Is it easier to make games at a lower cost?Better player experience?These are not what they fancy.

The major version update of the game designer is nothing more than the update of the holographic technology, which has poked more people's pain points.Red Dog still has to sell hardware. Although Xiao Gou said that he would open up his holographic technology, who knows what kind of price this opening will bring to those who acquire it?

This makes domestic game equipment manufacturers a little worried.Although Huaguo's game production technology is not very good, the game hardware equipment is actually good, but the software is a bit behind.The holographic software system and the game production system have a very close relationship.Therefore, domestic game equipment manufacturers basically cooperate with foreign countries for OEM production.

After the development of Huaguo's game production technology, they also tried to make their own software, and the development speed is not bad now.I don't know if they can get a ride with Red Dog after Red Dog comes up with new technology, or if they can't even do OEM.After all, Red Dog probably doesn't need other Huaguo manufacturers to help him OEM.

Thinking that Red Dog's semi-virtual game equipment has almost monopolized the world's semi-virtual game equipment market, and it is difficult for them to get a piece of the pie, the game equipment manufacturers in Huaguo couldn't help but feel sour.

But even if they are sour in their hearts, they can't do bad things, and they don't even want to do bad things in their hearts.After all, the technology is in the hands of its own country, and there is no technology blockade for its own family. If a little leaks through the fingers, it is enough for other manufacturers to live, not to mention that Red Dog has made it clear that the technology will be made public this time.

How can Huaguo game equipment manufacturers get more benefits than their foreign counterparts if they are close to the water?Looking at the booming game design industry in Huaguo, the game equipment manufacturers in Huaguo are very upset.

Among these manufacturers, Xia Meng's shareholders are probably the most depressed.In order to get on the big ship of Stella, they felt that the game design industry in Huaguo had no future, so they forced Hou Rui away.

As a result, the game design industry in Huaguo was not finished, but developed very rapidly under the leadership and generosity of Red Dog.The old thief Tang from Bacheng shamelessly cheated on Xiao Gou. Not only did his game studio produce a number of high-scoring and best-selling games, but also flourished in animation.Not to mention that after Red Dog opened up the semi-virtual game market, due to the conservative strategy of overseas game manufacturers, this market was basically "captured" by Huaguo game manufacturers.While overseas game manufacturers are renovating old games on semi-virtual platforms, game manufacturers in Huaguo are frantically producing new games to save money and experience from customers.When they got a group of players from the semi-virtual game market, relying on the resources and reputation gained from making semi-virtual games, when they turned to the holographic game market, most of them were successful.

That's all for these people, other people's choices have nothing to do with Xia Meng, what makes them most uncomfortable is that after Hou Rui left the popular dog, the Flower in the Mirror series became a big success.Now the mobile game Jinghuayuan is in the top ten of the game krypton gold list. The first part of Jinghuayuan holographic version has been nominated for the best of the year at the World Games, and it even has a good chance of winning. Word of mouth is fighting against the doomsday ruins.

Hou Rui's success slapped the decision-makers of Xia Meng's board of directors in the face. Many old players of Xia Meng were still angry at what happened to Hou Rui, and ran to Xia Meng's website and official blog to ridicule.Look, if you hadn't shut down the game production department, if you hadn't forced Laohou and his game production buddies away, this honor now belongs to Xia Meng.

Some of Xia Meng's neutral directors were also very dissatisfied.They have now become a joint venture and won the distribution rights of overseas games, and the benefits they get do not seem to be as great as imagined.Because after Huaguo had Red Dog, he was full of confidence. In order to directly launch the Red Dog game globally without going through an agent, in exchange, Huaguo also signed contracts with many overseas game companies to sell directly on the official website without going through an agent. Protocol for review procedures.

Everyone knows that it takes time for an agent to choose a product without a middleman to make a difference, so players are of course more inclined to choose to play games on the other party's official website.

In this way, Xia Meng's overseas game agency platform is a bit pitiful.Game masterpieces often sign an agreement with Huaguo, and they can only represent some foreign non-masterpieces.Although players often come to Xiameng's game platform Taobao to try out early adopters, this income is not much more than the previous agency income of Xiameng platform.

Because after Xia Meng's "takeaway", the game manufacturers in Huaguo tended to choose the game platforms of Red Dog and Bacheng.Originally, the directors of Xia Meng looked down on the game manufacturers in Huaguo, and thought it would be okay to abandon them.But when the Huaguo game market prospered and Xia Meng was excluded from the Huaguo game market, it was very sad.

All this is brought about by the strong rise of Red Dog Game and Xiao Gou, a bastard who is so generous that he doesn't look like a businessman.The directors of Xia Meng beat their chests and stamped their feet angrily.

Now that Red Dog is going to disclose some new holographic technology, everyone knows that this will have a great impact on the game hardware market.If Red Dog is still as generous as before, as long as you have money, you can get the technology, and the game equipment manufacturers in Huaguo will definitely be the first to benefit.Xia Meng?Joint ventures are probably better than foreign capital.

As the only leading company in Huaguo game equipment that has its own core technology, Xia Meng is almost unable to keep its own venue after being attacked by Red Dog in the semi-virtual game equipment market.Are you saying this is annoying?

What's the use of being angry?Xia Meng's directors can only ask the current big boss Stella for help, to see if Stella can find the technology to fight against the red dog, so as not to let Xia Meng be restrained by the red dog.Just because Hou Rui is the vice president of Red Dog, they don't believe that Red Dog can treat Xia Meng well.

What can Stella do?They had taken a fancy to Xia Meng's game equipment manufacturing technology before annexing Xia Meng. As a result, Xia Meng's hardware technology was attacked by Red Dog, as if they could do something.

Leon jumped in anger, thinking that Xiao Gou was indeed his old enemy.Now Al also had to say that Leon's premonition was correct.What Al didn't say in his heart was that if the Red Dog continued to be so strong, Leon probably wouldn't be qualified to call Xiao Gou his old enemy.

You can see that Red Dog was threatened by Stella at the beginning, and he needed to fight Stella a few times in the air.Stella is almost absent from reports about Red Dog these days.Originally, this time Xiao Gou himself gave up catering to the judges of the World Games, and the competition for the game award was not very strong.But when he was on a talk show, no one said anything about awards.

Now the game industry is being discussed in two topics because of Xiao Gou.The first topic is that Xiao Gou wants to share new technologies again, and the second topic is to reflect on the core of the game that Xiao Gou said in the interview.

Al felt that this was too ironic.Xiao Gou's influence is already so great, when the World Games Games' award criteria are different from the games he made, the game industry reflects on the wrong trend of the game industry represented by the awards, instead of questioning the wrong games made by Xiao Gou.It seems that Xiao Gou represents the direction of the game industry.

See what these game media say?Before, I echoed that the ruins of the doomsday are a literary film in the game, but now I am talking about "the game should return to the original intention of gameplay".They satirized Xiao Gou Waterloo before, but now they shouted after Xiao Gou's ass.

Not to mention the group of players.Even the group of players in the United States took the rhythm on their game forums, saying, "I don't care who the award is, anyway, Assassin's Creed is the most fun."Isn't the ruins of doom fun?Al thought about it carefully, well, from a player's point of view, it's really not fun.

Isn't that what interactive movie games are all about?Isn't this a concept given by Xiao Gou himself?Al doesn't believe that Stella has gone the wrong way, but now the whole industry is following Xiao Gou's words, thinking that Xiao Gou's way is the right one.

The red dog, Xiao Gou, is really Stella's nemesis!

……

Xiao Gou didn't know what kind of hurricane he brought to the game industry... well, maybe he knew, but he didn't care.He does what he thinks is right at the right time, what do he see other people doing?

The holographic equipment production line of Red Dog Technology began to produce new holographic equipment. Mr. Wen set the price on the ground and began to discuss alliances with other manufacturers in Huaguo, and discussed how to obtain benefits from overseas manufacturers who wanted technology.Mr. Wen's hairline became more worrisome, and his stomach became rounder. He was a handsome young man, but now he is greasy. He looks like a successful person.

Guess Mr. Wen doesn't have time to go to the gym anymore.He looked at Qiao Hong, and really didn't know how Qiao Hong had the perseverance to spare a certain amount of time to exercise every day when he was so busy, going to the gym at least once a week.Of course, he didn't even know why Xiao Gou's hairline was so beautiful and why Xiao Gou's hairline was so beautiful and why Xiao Gou's hairline was only a little creamy, not greasy at all, because of Xiao Gou's nerdy temperament and the intensity of Xiao Gou's overtime work. The cheeks are plump, and the teeth look younger than before.

Is this guy some kind of old monster who can rejuvenate himself?

Xiao Gou: Do you blame me for the baby face?

In short, Wen is always happy and painful.If there is no comparison between Qiao Hong and Xiao Gou, it is estimated that he will only be happy.

Xiao Gou only plays the role of finalizing and announcing these things, and other people will implement the specific details.Now his job at hand is monster abuse, no, monster hunter.

After watching the talk show between Xiao Gou and Qiao Hong, the entanglement in the hearts of the employees of Red Dog Games that there are not many complicated plots about Monster Hunter disappeared.Boss Xiao is right, the most important thing about a game is to be fun. Is Monster Hunter fun?Just looking at Boss Xiao's concept draft, you know it's fun, isn't that enough?Any plot, gameplay, or innovation are all to increase the fun of the game.The game market is full of flowers, and there is a need for games with entangled plots. Of course, there is also a need for games that do not require players to think about the plot, but only enjoy (being) hunted.

After the knot was resolved, the employees of Red Dog Games were more enthusiastic about how to make the monsters more "interesting".Even if it is a low-level mob, they try their best to make it impossible for players to stand up.

Standing masturbation or something, you will only be abused by monsters in Monster Hunter.

……

While Xiao Gou was working hard for the new game, the results of the best selection of the year came out.This time when Xiao Gou and Hou Rui went to the World Games together, Qiao Hong was on the construction site—even though Xiao Gou said many times that Qiao Hong didn’t need to stay on the construction site by himself, but Qiao Hong became more and more anxious as the project was completed. Xiao Gou is also hard to persuade.

For this World Games, Xiao Gou asked Hou Rui to take Zhang Tan and Wu Haoyu first, and he arrived on the day of the awards, and flew back to China that night.He didn't want to be asked by reporters how he felt about not being the best of the year.

This time the best game of the year really didn't have Xiao Gou's share, but Red Dog still took the top spot - this year's best game was "Mirror Flowers: Gentleman Kingdom", and Xiao Gou was the guest of honor.

Xiao Gou was dumbfounded when he got this task temporarily, and he was even more dumbfounded when he learned the winner of the best game of the year in advance.What's wrong with this jury?Red Dog's president handing the trophy to the vice president?Why don't you let me pass the trophy from my left hand to my right?After all, most of the time for this kind of game, the boss comes to receive the award, not the game maker!

"I would like to invite our award presenter, the talented game maker who has won the best game of the year three times in a row, the founder of Red Dog Games, and the honorary member of the World Games Club, Mr. Xiao Gou!" After the host read the lines, Xiao Gou 囧囧 said God came to power.

Xiao Gou kept an embarrassing face, and said honestly on stage: "Of course I am very excited to change from a winner to an award presenter. But I am here, and everyone knows that the best of the year is definitely not Assassin's Creed. "

Even the vast number of overseas game manufacturers who had "opinions" on Xiao Gou couldn't help laughing.

"Actually, I only found out today that I am an award presenter. I think the jury must have given me an illusory hope to prevent me from knowing that I was eliminated this time. But after seeing the list of winners, I I think, maybe the judges’ bad taste is more than that.” Xiao Gou continued to say awkwardly, “This year’s game is "Mirror Flowers: Gentleman Kingdom", as the boss of Red Dog, even if I am not on the list of game creators, I am I am eligible to receive the award. So, should I step down with the trophy in hand?"

Except for Stella, who didn't laugh, everyone else laughed until tears came out.The judges laughed so hard that they wanted to pound the table, they knew that it would be very interesting for Xiao Gou to be the award presenter.Hahahahaha, this is not bad fun.

Xiao Gou reluctantly put away the embarrassing expression, smiled and said: "Forget it, let's give Lao Hou a chance to receive the award. This is the trophy that Lao Hou has been looking forward to for decades. The best game of the year!" The Kingdom of Gentlemen in the Mirror of Flowers"! Laohou, come up to accept the award!"

Hou Rui wiped away his tears excitedly, but Xiao Gou shook his mouth so hard that no tears could flow out.He straightened his clothes, stepped onto the stage to accept the trophy, looked at Xiao Gou's narrow smile, and forgot his words for a moment.

But his award words seem a bit inappropriate now that Xiao Gou is the award presenter?

In the end, Hou Rui sighed and said: "When I was nominated, I was not sure that I would win the trophy, but everyone knows that even if I was not sure, I must have mentioned the award speech. My award speech is all thanks to Xiao The Gou and Red Dog game, especially this game has a lot of credit for Xiao Gou, but Xiao Gou has always refused to write his name on the game production list. He simply means that providing advice is not making a game. He hopes that at least the new series of Jinghuayuan The first game is a game made by the original production team of Jinghuayuan.”

"I am very grateful to him. Without him, there would be no Love of Flowers, and I would not be what I am now. But now he is standing next to me to present awards to me, and even made fun of me. He even considered depriving me of the right to hold the trophy. Stepping down with a trophy... I really can't boast."

The people in the audience continued to roar with laughter.Are all Red Dog people this funny?Aren't you just boasting now?Didn't you see how proud Xiao Gou was?

Xiao Gou was indeed smiling very proudly, and he continued to say the award speech: "Jinghuayuan deserves to be the best of the year. Its innovative chemical system will definitely have a great impact on the gameplay in the future. As a game based on A story-based RPG game, its gameplay is outstanding. Jinghuayuan tells everyone that the story is just an embellishment, and the essence of the game is the game.”

Hou Rui was so teased by Xiao Gou that he held back his tears, but now the tears are about to flow out again.Huaguo players all know that when Jinghuayuan still belonged to Xia Meng, the game production technology in the entire Huaguo was rubbish, and the only saving grace of Jinghuayuan was the plot.

But now the reason why Jinghuayuan won the award is because of its excellent gameplay.His winning words are, "The plot is just embellishment, the essence of the game is the game".

That's right, the plot of Flowers in the Mirror is excellent, but its plot, in the eyes of the judges, may not be as good as Ruins of Doom.But the judges of the World Games hope that the award for the best game of the year will be awarded to a real game, not a holographic movie with a game skin.

Regardless of whether it is because the judges of the World Games have changed their minds after listening to the interview with Xiao Gou, or whether the judges of the World Games have the same thoughts as Xiao Gou, the direction of the game industry should change again.
