Game Maker [Rebirth]

After Wen Jiqing put forward this plan, although everyone did not object, there was a problem on the table - the online game team was out of action. Although the game hall was full of small games, it also needed maintenance. There has to be a dedicated team in charge, and now... what do you say.

Wen Jiqing suddenly discovered that since Chaoyun started its establishment, it has been in a state of lack of people. Of course, the most important thing is that the funds are not very rich, but if you want to get the game hall, you must hurry up sooner rather than later, otherwise wait until the Crocodile Company opens. It's really not easy to seize market share - even though the Crocodile Company seems to be unable to compete with them now, Wen Jiqing is still worried.

There is no way to spare manpower, the stand-alone project team can no longer compress it, the online game side has not been patient enough, as for the engine development side... To be honest, Wen Jiqing has always wanted to go out directly as an independent company, of course now not the right time yet.

After Xue Tiandong calculated the internal test, they would probably have to do an internal test without deleting files, and the money earned during the internal test without deleting files does not need to pay taxes, ahem, of course, the internal test without deleting files It can't be too long, or you're asking for trouble.

So the proposal for the game lobby is put on hold for the time being, Wen Jiqing has no choice but to continue to be busy - the fourth stand-alone game is about to be released, Wen Jiqing's current energy is mainly focused on the two aspects of stand-alone and online games, and he doesn't even care about the engine. Fortunately, every department has a project team leader to watch over, otherwise Wen Jiqing would really be at a loss by himself.

The one-month period of the closed beta flew by, Wen Jiqing looked at the feedback collected, and found that the word-of-mouth of the game was quite good, and it happened that the stand-alone game was about to be launched, so Wen Jiqing simply thought of another way of bundling sales—— Release a deluxe version, the deluxe version comes with the internal test activation code of "Genesis ol".

Because this time the closed beta has been agreed to be an internal test without deleting files, that is to say, players can continue to play after the public beta, so even if the activation codes are issued much more than the previous closed beta, the supply is still a bit short of demand.

Wen Jiqing asked someone to count the number of activation codes, and finally decided to limit the number that can be carried by four servers, and the deluxe version of the stand-alone game is naturally limited, with a limit of 6666 sets, which means that the activation codes sent through the game are also limited. But there are more than 6000 copies.

Coupled with the activation codes for activities held by various media, and players who have participated in various tests before, this number is almost the same.

This kind of bundling sales makes the deluxe version of the stand-alone game sell very quickly. Basically, the pre-ordered amount of dealers in various places is already full as soon as the release date is set. A little more, on the one hand, it is ready to replace if there is any damage during transportation.

Although the stand-alone game has been released, the stand-alone project team is still struggling to continue making the game - they still need to change the game to a version that can run on the console platform, but whether this version can be sold, or I don't know how much I can sell.

However, this version of the game is mainly supplied to overseas markets. After all, computers have started to develop a little bit, and the penetration rate of domestic consoles is far lower than that of computers.

At this time, it shows the benefits of their cooperation with Dream Studio. This game can be regarded as a joint venture. In this way, the resistance to listing abroad will be less. Although there are errands, it is all Lu Chengnan's business. Anyway, Lu Chengnan has been playing like a fish in water recently, and the overseas branch is almost established. We are just waiting for when "Genesis OL" will be directly listed abroad.

Because the point card fee is set, even if the file is not deleted, the internal test will start to charge. Of course, because it is still under the banner of the internal test, there is still a feedback activity, and this plan is thrown to Xue Tiandong.

It has to be said that online games are really making money. Even if the activation codes are issued in a limited number for the closed beta, at the end of the month, when the billing period is due, it can be clearly seen that the revenue of online games is much more profitable than that of stand-alone games released before.

The people in the company were very happy, but Wen Jiqing was very calm. Now this amount of money is actually not a big deal in strict calculations. If you don’t delete the files, the estimated time is two months. If you worry too much, someone will trouble them Well, others don't say that the Crocodile Company must be gearing up to deal with them.

The closed beta without deleting files gave everyone a lot of confidence, so later Wen Jiqing said that no one objected to adding servers to cope with the upcoming public beta.

During the public beta, the game opened four districts in one go, but the new districts were almost overwhelmed. Fortunately, Wen Jiqing had prepared two spare servers at that time, and after adding these two spare servers, he was able to deal with it.

Xue Tiandong looked at it with lingering fear and asked: "This... what can we do if we open the district in the future?"

Wen Jiqing was relatively calm: "Don't worry, the server has just started today so there are many people. It will be fine when it stabilizes. There won't be so many people online at the same time. Wait to see the operation status before considering adding servers."

I don't know if he was infected by Wen Jiqing's calmness, Xue Tiandong also turned his head to deal with the matter that many players said they couldn't buy game cards.Chaoyun's game point card distribution is not small, but Tianchao is really too big, and it is basically difficult to cover many small cities outside the third tier. At this time, I can't help but miss Taobao.

Because of the birth of "Genesis ol", although the later "Stone Age" was quite famous, it was not as popular as in the previous life. Before the Stone Age came out, Wen Jiqing had been staring at various news about the Stone Age. , although in his opinion, the Stone Age is not as good as his own game, but what if?After the Stone Age public beta, Wen Ji asked Xue Tiandong to investigate the market share secretly.

Xue Tiandong didn't pay much attention to the Stone Age at the beginning, and he was a little surprised when he heard Wen Jiqing say that. After a rough statistics of the final market share, Wen Jiqing felt relieved.

With the leadership of Genesis OL and the Stone Age, domestic online games have basically entered the era of contention among a hundred schools of thought. As for stand-alone games, Chaoyun has been insisting and researching anti-cracking methods. Wen Jiqing's technology has always been ahead of the curve. Yes, and a lot of time ahead, so Chaoyun's single-player games have basically never been cracked.

Not to mention cracking, it is not easy for those cracking teams to make modifiers. After Wen Jiqing saw many people complaining that the game is not easy to play without modifiers, Wen Jiqing simply released the official modifiers directly, and the modifiers are more powerful than others. The ones produced by the cracking team need to be improved.

It is precisely because of this that Chaoyun's fans often complain about Chaoyun's integrity.Regarding this point, Wen Ji said calmly: "Playing games is fun. Although when we make games, we incorporate various elements in order to allow everyone to play for a longer time, and the plot is extended as much as possible, but many players are short-tempered. Well, if you want to go through the plot quickly, then it doesn’t matter if you use a modifier.”

Wen Jiqing really thinks it doesn't matter, anyway, the stand-alone will not break the balance, of course, if the future stand-alone will move closer to the Internet, there will be no modifiers, and the next stand-alone Wen Jiqing intends to be a platform , so that players can pk on the platform, but this idea is not particularly easy to implement on the PC side, but it is more accepted by console players.

After Genesis OL caused a wave of enthusiasm in China, both Wen Jiqing and Xue Tiandong started to see if they could let the game go abroad. The European server can be directly handed over to Lu Chengnan, and the Japanese server...Wen Jiqing really wanted to make a culture game Export, but the agent is not easy to find, and the review in Japan is also very strict.

Calculated in this way, it is easier for the European server, after all, they are not completely foreign-funded enterprises there.In the end, Wen Jiqing didn't expect that Lu Chengnan would hold a press conference there, and let Wen Jiqing and Xue Tiandong go over and stand on stage.

Although he considered himself a person who had seen big scenes, Wen Jiqing's legs still softened a little when he heard Lu Chengnan say that - in his two lifetimes, he never thought that his own products would go abroad one day.

Xue Tiandong thinks it's pretty good, and it happens to be able to take Wen Jiqing out for a stroll. Ever since Chaoyun opened, the two of them have devoted themselves to it, and they don't even have vacations, let alone travel. The last time they went out to play was when he was there. It's been many years since I went out once before leaving.

Wen Jiqing didn't really want to go at first, but when the two foreigners from Dream Studio brought him here, he realized that his English had deteriorated a lot. Maybe he could make ends meet by traveling abroad. The press conference...haha...is for him Do you have a translator with you?

Xue Tiandong raised his eyebrows when he heard Wen Jiqing's concerns: "What translator are you looking for? Am I just a translator?"

Wen Jiqing thought for a while and said directly: "Why don't you go, Lu Chengnan may think that he can't hold the place there alone, and it's not unreasonable for us to leave, I'd better sit in the country, not to mention that the company has not If there is a personnel change, it’s not good if I’m not here.”

Xue Tiandong touched his earlobe and asked, "I still want to take you out to play."

Wen Jiqing didn't care too much: "When Genesis' domestic and foreign operations stabilize, we will have time to go out and play. Anyway, we have saved a lot of vacation time."

Seeing that Wen Jiqing was determined to pay attention, Xue Tiandong simply refused to persuade him and asked, "Why do you care about the company's personnel changes this time?"
