MTL - I Develop Battlefield To Drive Global Players Crazy-Chapter 19

So relying on him alone is definitely not enough.

...

The popularity of "Battlefield" continues to skyrocket.

Chen Xu, Nebula Games, Subversive FPS, Conscience Games…

A series of labels, etc., have all become hot topics, sweeping major game forums and live video platforms.

Especially in the FPS type circle, "Battlefield" has become a familiar name for every player who loves this type of game.

And once a topic becomes a hot topic, the subsequent fermentation will be faster and faster, and the most intuitive response is sales.

On the day it was officially launched, the sales volume of "Battlefield" was 810,000 according to Chen Xu's backstage statistics, but by the second day, it had exceeded one million, and the third day still maintained at 920,000 sales, which is normal. fluctuation.

Although only Chen Xu can know the real number, third-party players still counted relevant data based on the evaluation of players in the official mall after purchase.

This data directly shocked the people who were eating melons, and also made the entire game circle crazy.

Although it is a buyout system, according to the current momentum, the potential of "Battlefield" has obviously not been completely exhausted.

Although the domestic game market is very deep, such as the big game companies such as Big Goose, Meiwon and Zhuchang, there are not a few projects with monthly turnover of 100 million yuan.

Compared with the entire big market, it can only be said that there are very few.

The revenue stream of Nebula Games' current wave of "Battlefield" may be a level that some game projects cannot reach from the opening of the server to the closing of the server.

At the same time, the most critical point is that both players and the media have excellent reviews of "Battlefield", unlike the games produced by some game companies, which are full of scolding.

At the end, you have to change a layer of skin, so that you can fool some PTSD players who have been hurt by krypton gold games.

For a while, all the major game media were full of praise.

At the same time as the applause and popularity, many players spontaneously formed the tap water, everywhere in major forums and their own social game groups, giving this game to strangers and friends Amway.

This also allows more and more players to understand the name of "Battlefield".

...

However, when online players were still immersed in "Battlefield", Chen Xu was so busy during this time.

Because he wants to spread the Nebula game booth.

Recruitment of personnel in various departments, as well as office addresses, etc.

All need to be busy. During this period, many media expressed their hope to interview Chen Xu and Nebula Games.

Explore the story behind the development of Battlefield.

However, they were all pushed by Chen Xu, and he didn't like these things very much.

But there was another phone call that surprised Chen Xu, but felt reasonable.

In the cafe, Chen Xu sat with a middle-aged man in the business private room.

The other party is the vice president of the development team of the big goose game "Dragon Slayer", and also the executive manager of the game department.

"Qin Yi, the object of our negotiation today was our President Yao, but combined with your previous official blog story, President Chen, he thinks that maybe I, a technologist, can talk to you better." Speaking of this, Qin Yi smiled smiled.

"What, Mr. Chen, Nebula Games was an empty shell before, and now I'm just a little bit ready to put him on the right track. Just call me Chen Xu." Chen Xu also smiled.

Qin Yi nodded, but instead of following Chen Xu's statement, he took out a document: "I believe President Chen should understand that what we talked about today is actually quite sincere. If President Chen If you want, you can keep a part of the equity, and Nebula Games will be independent from Big Goose Games, and you can maintain the right to operate independently…”

Qin Yi spoke according to the prepared words, but was interrupted by Chen Xu before he finished speaking.

"Mr. Qin, I actually read the game level design and game development you translated back then." Chen Xu said with a smile.

And listening to Chen Xu's words, Qin Yi was stunned for a moment.

"If there is anyone in China who really loves games, I believe you are definitely one, Mr. Qin."

"But the big goose game now." Chen Xu said and shook his head with a smile.

"All the people in the product department have no weight. It can be seen from the position you hold, Mr. Qin Yi, because the positioning of the game in the Big Goose game is like a drink. The formula and taste are unchanged. Package."

"What has the most say in the big goose game? The marketing department and the operation department, they can easily be promoted to take charge of the company and the project. This is why Mr. Qin, even if you have sufficient qualifications, you are only the vice president of the development team."

"The marginalization of the product project department has lost the enthusiasm and ability to create excellent games. People who understand games are crowded out by people who don't understand games. The latter only regard games as a tool to make profits, rather than sincerely hope that players can play games. Have fun in the game."

"That's how the Big Goose Game is, creating happiness with your heart? This is the slogan of the Big Goose Game, but it's just a slogan."

"Mr. Qin, are you willing to play capital games for a lifetime, or are you willing to change the game world with me?"

...

(It belongs to the transitional foreshadowing chapter, in fact, I really don’t want to write this, because it is not the point and you will be embarrassed to read it if you don’t write it well, but for the follow-up plot arrangement and connection, this kind of foreshadowing must be there, try to pass it in one stroke and then focus on the game, In addition, this paragraph is written according to two real cases, has anyone seen it?).

Chapter 36 Set sail

Fifteen minutes later, Chen Xu took a taxi and left the coffee shop.

This is the main purpose of his coming today. After receiving the negotiation request from Big Goose Game, he initially decided to refuse it.

Because in any case, Chen Xu knew that it was impossible to negotiate properly. Maybe they were very sincere in the eyes of Big Goose Games, but in Chen Xu's eyes, it was a completely unacceptable bottom line.

But after he knew that he was talking to Qin Yi today, he changed his attention.

The main reason is that he knows the other party's resume, and he can also vaguely see some shadows from some of the products of Big Goose Games in the past.

Today's Nebula game has just set sail. He can be the main helmsman, but he must also have a series of people such as sailors and cooks.

Qin Yi is a very good target.

Of course, for such a person, money or something is not entirely important. The most important point is to draw a passionate pie for the other party.

As for whether it will work or not, I don't know. Anyway, try it. What if it is really pulled on board?

After Chen Xu left, the stunned expression on Qin Yi's face in the coffee shop had not disappeared.

This time the negotiation was completely beyond his expectations.

Originally, he didn't want to come this time, because he didn't like these intrigue at all, and to some extent he even hoped that Chen Xu would refuse.

But now, the other party invited him to his boat.

Change the gaming world?

If it is a little-known company, he will only say who you are, and change the game industry!

Why don't you find a mirror to look at yourself?

What about Nebula Games?

He subconsciously wanted to refute in his heart.

But he hesitated again.

On the surface, no matter how you look at Nebula games, it seems unreliable.

A grass stage team and even company personnel have just been formed.

But what about another thought?

A brand new company with sufficient vitality and plasticity.

What about funding?

Compared with the level of the big goose, it is obviously completely incomparable.

But the big sales of "Battlefield" is enough to guarantee the budget of Nebula Games' next project.

Simply put, it's not bad for the money.

ability?

It is convincing enough that Chen Xu can make a game like "Battlefield" by himself.

If now Chen Xu said that he wanted to choose a company to join as a game designer.

Then he will definitely set up a project team for him. Based on the current performance of "Battlefield", he has this qualification.

Maybe he really can?

Turning on the phone, Qin Yi looked at the official blog, an article he had collected, the article previously published by Chen Xu.

Then he opened the album again, and there was a photo in it that was a commemorative photo he took on the first day of work.

It's his workstation in the photo, and there's a post-it note on the monitor that says "Let's make world-class games."

But from the point of view of the big goose now, this may become a joke.

At the same time, he remembered what Chen Xu said to him just now.

In the big goose game, even in his contract, the regulations on non-compete contracts are not loose.

To put it nicely, it was a lenient preferential treatment for a meritorious veteran like him.

But in fact, it is purely the company's executives who think that they are people in the game development department, far less important than those in the marketing operation department.

The treatment is naturally incomparable to those in those departments.

After sitting in the private room for more than two hours, he was awakened by a phone call.

Looking at the caller ID of the job number called 'Big Goose Game', Qin Yi already had a decision in his heart.

He wants to make a big gamble and board a brand-new warship called Nebula Games.

If it fails, or the Nebula game becomes the same as the Big Goose game in the future, then it is a big deal to retire and quit the game world.

...

During this time, players from all walks of life are desperately mining the content of "Battlefield".

This game is much richer than they thought.

On the live broadcast platform, many players who have not experienced it personally are more attracted by the grand multiplayer battlefield.

But when you really experience it yourself, many players realize that this game is not only rich in multiplayer gameplay.

His single-player plot is also quite good.

The single-player story with a total of five unit chapters has a lot of content compared to the original version. The simple single-player campaign also lasts nearly 15 hours. On average, a unit story of three hours is not too short.

And they are all famous battles in history, such as the Battle of Cambrai in the **** battle in the first chapter, the subsequent air battle on the Western Front, the Battle of the Alps, and the Gallipoli Landing Battle, which are completely familiar to players who know World War I.

And in the single-player plot, vehicles such as tanks and planes also appear in turn, allowing players to have a good time.

In the plot, there are also **** death squad raids, air combat charges, and veterans who are reluctant to let young soldiers from their hometown accept such dangerous tasks as messengers, and volunteered to go to the front line to give orders.

Of course, more players are still immersed in the large battlefield battle in the multiplayer mode.

At the very beginning, the big guys all fought in one wave, and they fought on the battlefield abruptly.

But later, more and more players learned tactics.

If you can't fight head-on, I won't fight you head-on, I'll fight the rest of your resurrection strongholds.

A variety of tactics, such as tactical interspersed, surrounded by points, and so on can be seen.

At the same time, the vehicles in the game, such as airplanes, are gradually being played by players.

And many players also found that in addition to the four basic arms in the game, after certain conditions are met, elite soldiers will be refreshed according to different maps.

Such as Spitfires, tank hunters with anti-tank rifles, sentinels in heavy armor, etc.

Of course, for most players, these elite soldiers can only be seen in the video.

Because in the game, the hand speed of those unfamiliar teammates is so fast that you can't understand it.

In addition, there is a strange place for players, that is, the momentum of "Battlefield" is so hot, but Nebula Games is not moving at all.

If it weren't for the two weeks after the game was launched, Chen Xu posted a celebratory official blog on the official blog where the sales of "Battlefield" exceeded 5 million.

Many players are worried about whether the Nebula game has escaped with the money.

Until Chen Xu posted the third official blog so far on the official blog.

The content of this official blog is to surprise all players and make the game industry stunned.

The company called "Nebulas Games" has set sail! .

Chapter 37 Can you fight foreigners in the future?

As the third official blog released by Chen Xu, the content is not very long.

'I really feel that players love "Battlefield". Fortunately, we also made a little money from it, and Nebula Games finally no longer needs to be a shell company, but can have its own office space and its own team. . ’

‘At the same time, about the follow-up arrangements for “Battlefield”, I can also reveal some to you here. ’
