Chapter 536 534. What? Mobile game development for Honor of Kings? !
The reality is cruel. Although people don't want to classify occupations into three, six or nine levels, income is a reality that is clearly there. However, Bomi Company cannot spread the idea of devaluing the type of work, so in the end, some words must be added. Explain, so as not to be criticized by others on the Internet.
However, in the minds of others, although the game Boss Cao wanted to make was a bit cruel, his intentions were good.
It's just that until now, everyone has no idea, can realistic-themed game works really become popular?
The only problem with "Learning Goddess" is that it may be loved by players because of the addition of romance elements, but it will also touch high-voltage wires.
"Learning Goddess" is set to be a learning + beautiful girl love game. Although the King Studio Group does not want to take this order, all love games of Bomi Company are produced by them. This is The goddess of learning is naturally no exception.
Just the thought of going back to high school to collect and understand high school knowledge makes Lai Yuling, the boss of the King Studio Group, feel very overwhelmed.
But Cao Yang believes that this game can still be tried. As long as it does not go too far, but creates a pure love and a beautiful first love feeling, it should still pass the review.
The production of the game itself is not that difficult, but it requires a lot of thought in the design.
Discussions about the game project began in December last year, and it has only been more than half a year now, and most of it has been developed.
So if nothing else goes wrong, if it can successfully pass the review and get the version number, it will be online early next year.
For these two games, Li Lanyun did not point out that they can make money. It is already thankful that they can perfectly complete the tasks explained above, meet the boss's expectations at the same time, and gain a good reputation among certain players.
"There is still a potential problem in these two games. Let's see if it should be solved, or should we just launch it like this?" Li Lanyun asked a question and said, "Because of the existing programming technology, it is not possible to allow players to Answering questions through the keyboard is mainly non-choice questions and text questions. It is really laborious for players to write answers in the game using the keyboard and mouse.
And because everyone's handwriting is different, the software's ability to recognize handwriting is still relatively weak, so our current approach is to only provide multiple-choice questions and text questions.
Other questions are also given to players through multiple choice questions and fill-in-the-blank methods. "
What does that mean?
That is to say, even for some proof questions, several proof answer options have been listed on the test paper, allowing players to choose the answer they think is correct through the mouse or keyboard.
"Uh..." Cao Yang felt uncomfortable.
Doesn't this defeat the purpose of teaching?
"Let's do this first. When I discuss the technology with Guangran later, let them make the recognition function as perfect and accurate as possible, at least to the extent that it can capture the text and numerical symbols written by the players, so that they can The extent to which handwriting is transformed into written form.”
Only by doing this can you match the game's question bank and know whether these players answered the questions correctly or not.
Otherwise, if there are only multiple-choice questions and partial fill-in-the-blank questions, they can completely rely on blindness or go online to find the answers and fill them in.
Although it can play a certain teaching role, it does not significantly improve students' actual performance.
Hearing Boss Cao's words, Li Lanyun next to him was surprised -
Damn it, boss, are you serious?
Do you really want to teach them well through game software?
I can only say that the boss has a pure, kind and idealistic heart.
But this is probably also the advantage of the boss.
Dare to think, dare to do, dare to pay.
Only such people can succeed.
But if Cao Yang knew what Li Lanyun was thinking, he wouldn't think so.
The premise for daring to do this is because Cao Yang comes from the future, and because Bomi has a deep family background, which allows him to practice his idealism.
In his previous life, people like Cao Yang simply couldn't survive in Internet companies. For example, when he was at Penguin, his boss often scolded him for being an idealist, and people like this couldn't make money at all.
But the company's first priority is to make money.
At that time, Cao Yang was extremely harsh when he heard these words. He thought from the bottom of his heart that Penguin was a company without dreams, an unscrupulous enterprise that had fallen into a money pit and only knew how to engage in monopoly, exploitation, and plagiarism.
Fortunately, his destiny is now under his control, and he controls it very well, so Cao Yang can let go and do everything he wants to do.
Since you are reborn, you must look like you are reborn, and you must have the courage and courage to be reborn.
What's the point of rebirth without ideals?
"After that came "Planet Trailblazer" by the Pioneer Studio Group. It is still under development. The main reason is that some technical difficulties have not been well solved. There are also many parts that need to be redesigned and improved in the art. It seems that at least I'm planning to go there in two years' time,” Li Lanyun said.
"Planet Pioneer" is used to simulate humans exploring new planets. It is produced through Bomi's newly developed chemical engine, embodying all relevant knowledge of physics, chemistry, biology, geography, etc. that can be applied to reality. , so that players can gain a deeper understanding of this game, and then have a good simulation and feedback for learning.
This game is now being developed by the Pioneer Studio Group, but it is limited by the existing technology. By the time the game can actually be launched, it will be 2 years or even longer.
If this game can really be made, it can actually play a very good educational role.
On the one hand, it is to stimulate children's exploration and interest in the world.
On the other hand, it allows them to understand the underlying physical and chemical knowledge through vivid physical and chemical phenomena and by exploring new planets.
It's just that now the chemical engine has just begun to have a basic look, which is equivalent to taking a small step. When the chemical engine is perfect enough, and then the artists and planners jointly build the chemical reaction database of "Planet Pioneer", There's still some way to go.
These were all within Cao Yang's expectations.
The development time of the chemical engine itself is relatively short. It started at the end of last year and now it only takes more than half a year to have a basic foundation. It is already quite difficult.
In the future, when these technical difficulties are overcome and all problems are solved, it will bring about earth-shaking changes to the entire gaming industry.
At that time, players played games with a higher degree of freedom, and there would be more changes, even reaching infinite...
That was the era of real gamers.
What Cao Yang needs to do now is just to wait patiently.
"It's okay. Two years has gone by very quickly. It's okay to wait even four years," Cao Yang said.
"Then...well...that's pretty much the client game part," Li Lanyun flipped through his notebook, then went to the next page and continued, "The rest is the company's mobile game part."
"Now the company's three mobile games have been completed and passed testing. One is "Plants vs. Zombies", which we are scheduled to release next month.
The other one is "QQ Farm", which is expected to be released in January next year.
Then there is "QQ Xiaoxiaole", which should be scheduled until the middle of next year. "
These three games were actually developed very early and completed very early, but they have always been stuck with the game version number.
I saw Plants vs. Zombies above, and I was worried that the horror elements in it would have a psychological impact on children, so it was not approved. Later, Bomi changed several versions to make the zombies more cute, and then added a 16+ label. , and then barely passed.
This is not the case with the other two games.
The main reason is that the mobile game market is so new that there are very few reviewers in this area, so many companies have to wait in line for their mobile games. The annual pass rate of mobile game review is very low, and it is the responsibility of human resources. limit.
It is estimated that the above people did not expect that the mobile phone market would bring about such earth-shaking changes. According to the words of relevant personnel, it is -
These people who work on the Internet can do anything related to games.
Maybe even a toilet can be used to play games in the future, and I don't know how to review it then.
Because I was unprepared, it took a while from the time I started paying attention to mobile games to the emergence of corresponding laws and review standards.
This process is bound to happen, it just happens to be during this time period.
Fortunately, now that the game has been approved, everyone is happy.
The higher authorities will also pay more and more attention to this content.
Although the three games were not launched at the time Cao Yang imagined, the impact was not great, mainly because the mobile game market has just been developed and has not yet been fully developed.
So Bomi can definitely catch this train.
Even if he can't catch up, with Cao Yang's excellent memory, he can still find suitable games from future products to catch up.
After telling all the game content, Li Lanyun took a long breath, then picked up the water glass next to him to moisten his throat.
It really made my mouth dry.
"Boss, do you have any questions?" Li Lanyun took a sip of water and looked at Boss Cao.
Cao Yang ignored him and fell into deep contemplation.
Seeing that the boss didn't speak, after a few seconds, Li Lanyun asked tentatively, "Boss, I've finished speaking. Do you have any questions?"
"Um?"
Cao Yang pulled away from his thoughts and looked back at Li Lanyun.
"Oh, please call Lai Yuling and we will have a short meeting." Cao Yang said.
Li Lanyun:…
After about 10 minutes, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a cute girl wearing black-rimmed glasses, a white shirt, and a black skirt walked in.
"What's wrong, boss?"
With a smile on her face, Lai Yuling opened the door and came in. She found a chair and sat down, ready to listen to her boss's teachings.
To be honest, she was extremely reluctant.
Mainly because under normal circumstances, being suddenly called into the conference room for a meeting by your boss is not a good sign.
This shows that the boss has new ideas and wants to entrust her with a terrible and difficult task that who knows whether it can be completed.
The King Studio Group is already busy enough.
A lot of manpower has been transferred to Gui Chuu Deng for support, and I don't know how much more can be done.
“That's what I think,” Cao Yang said with a smile. “Now our company's smartphones are selling quite well, and the next 10 or even 20 years will be an era of rapid growth for smartphones.”
What Cao Yang said is absolutely correct. The ultimate goal of mobile phones is to have the same performance as computers, or even surpass the performance of computers, and become the largest user platform.
Therefore, the future must be an era of rapid development of mobile phones.
"Under such circumstances, mobile phone users' demand for mobile games is definitely increasing day by day. The mobile game products currently produced by our company are completely unable to meet the needs of the future market."
"So?" Lai Yuling was panicking.
Does the boss want us to have a group of king studios to hold up the sky?
It's not enough for us to develop a mobile game every day!
Speaking of mobile games, Cao Yang remembered something very important.
That means “Honor of Kings” must be put on the development schedule as soon as possible.
"I want you to make a new mobile game. The name of this game is - "Glory of Kings"
"ha?!"
Hearing the boss's words, Li Lanyun almost spit out a mouthful of water.
Lai Yuling also looked surprised.
"Glory of Kings? Mobile game?"
Although Lai Yuling is the main person in charge of the King's Studio Group, she has not heard the name "Glory of the King" for a long time.
It feels like a game from ancient times.
Speaking of which, it has been 9 years since the company developed the first "Honor of Kings", which is considered a relatively long time.
How many 9 years can there be in life?
And for the history of game development in China, 9 years is already half a lifetime.
Very few game companies can survive for nine years, and those who survive have basically become industry giants.
Wow.
Lai Yuling thought back and couldn't help but sigh -
Oh shit.
My youth!
All of a sudden it was gone.
There are differences between this "Glory of Kings" and the one in the previous life.
The "Honor of Kings" that Cao Yang wants to develop is FGO.
"Fate/Grand Order" is a role-playing mobile game published by TYPE-MOON. It is the sequel to the Fate series. It was launched on the Japanese Android version on July 30, 2015, and was officially launched in mainland China on September 29, 2016. iOS version.
Referred to as FGO.
The workload of this game is not large, but the ability to attract money is very strong, mainly due to the card drawing mechanism, which makes countless players want to get their favorite servants.
FGO has been at the top of the global mobile game rankings since its release, and has almost never fallen. Even in 2021, it is still firmly within the top 50 of the best-selling list, and can even break into the top ten as long as there are events. .
In 2018, FGO was able to overtake Honor of Kings and become the sales champion. You can imagine how strong this game's ability to attract money is.
Bilibili's single-month revenue can reach 550 million yuan just by being an agent of this game. It's really remarkable that Bilibili has been able to pull Bilibili back from the brink of bankruptcy by relying on this game.
To be precise, the profit model of Station B in the later stage is to buy various animation movies... to support UP owners to obtain traffic, and then monetize the traffic into game income, and rely on games to support themselves.
What Cao Yang has to do is play the trump card of "Honor of Kings" within the next two years.
