MTL - I Develop Battlefield To Drive Global Players Crazy-Chapter 6

(Also in the evening, ask for a flower evaluation ticket~ Everything is very important in the new book period, even if it is a comment in the comment area~).

Chapter 12 Reverse bounce

The next day, the big goose game.

Yao Xiaoguang, the president of "Dragon Slayer", the first development team of Big Goose Games, called all the company's internal executives to the conference room for a temporary emergency meeting.

On the projection screen behind Yao Xiaoguang, is the theme of their meeting today, "Battlefield".

Regarding the real sales of this game, only the game company and the official game store can know.

Even as one of the largest game manufacturers in China, Big Goose Games has no way to get relevant data.

But even if you don't know the real sales, it can be inferred from some seemingly trivial information.

Because the popularity of the game "Battlefield" will not lie.

In major game communities, as well as video live broadcast platforms, related videos have been maxed out.

The "Battlefield" on the official blog and the "Nebulas Game" that developed this game have been on the hot search of game news.

Although it is only the 40th and 39th place at the end of the crane.

But the most crucial point is that this term has no purchase volume at all, but rushed up with the search of players.

It can be said that this game has completely exploded.

Of course, if this is the case, it's okay, after all, it was not a game without a big explosion.

It is mainly under the banner of Big Goose Games, which also has an FPS type game, and it is also one of the pillars of their current main revenue.

If "Battlefield" explodes, some players will inevitably be diverted away, which is why Big Goose Games attaches great importance to it.

"What is the origin of this company called Nebula Games? Did you find out?" Yao Xiaoguang rubbed his bulging temples.

"From the national enterprise information publicity system, we can only find out that this is a game company registered two years ago. The legal representative is Chen Xu, and there is no news about the rest."

"And this game company is simply too strange, a game of this scale is not only not pre-heated and promoted."

"The key is that there is not even an official website, but there are various trademarks and domain names for "Battlefield", and this company registered it in advance."

"At the same time, I have asked some friends in the industry that many of the basic modeling in the game "Battlefield" are outsourced and bought out, and most of the core content other than these are ordered in the game production mall. resources.”

The senior management of various departments in the conference room reported the information they found to Yao Xiaoguang.

Everyone is full of confusion, because all this is not in line with the behavior of commercial companies.

Compared with recruiting artists by yourself, outsourcing can be more expensive.

After all, the outsourced content is priced according to the quality and quantity of resources.

As for recruiting artists, a salary allows you to experience the perfect benefits of 996.

Generally speaking, outsourcing is adopted, either a small factory that emphasizes quality but not as good as art, or a large factory that does not lack money to catch up with the progress.

"Anyway, pay close attention to the game "Battlefield", and find a way to contact this company called Nebula Games. It is best to acquire them as a subsidiary of our Big Goose."

"If it doesn't work, let the investment department find a way to take a part of the company's equity and get a veto!" Yao Xiaoguang gave an order decisively.

This is also the consistent practice of their Big Goose Group. If there are any teams in China that make explosive games, they will directly put them in the bag and let them be dogs.

If there is no way to recruit, then even if it is bad, you have to get a part of the equity, especially to get a veto.

In this way, even if it cannot achieve holding, it can be destroyed and gradually lose its dominance and operation rights over the company.

If it is successful, take “Battlefield” or Nebula Games as an example, what kind of operations or what they want to do in the future.

The Big Goose Group only needs to use the excuse of wait and see to exercise the so-called one-vote veto power, and they can make it self-sufficient.

In the game industry, one step behind is often the distance between life and death.

Chen Xu didn't know about being targeted by a greedy beast.

Of course, even if he knew, Chen Xu was completely true.

For these domestic game manufacturers, Chen Xu has only one sentence: play in the mud.

Although these manufacturers are powerful, they have not been able to cover the sky with one hand.

In this case, Chen Xu would be afraid of them?

Do not make jokes!

In a word, let them roll as far as they go!

Of course, if there are game manufacturers that meet Chen Xu's requirements, he will not refuse if they can cooperate.

And now for Chen Xu, there is one more important thing.

That is to unlock and launch the follow-up campaign and multiplayer mode of "Battlefield" in advance.

The demo version was launched before, mainly because I was worried that there would be no way to get enough funds to buy enough servers in the short term.

But now "Battlefield" is much more popular than he expected, and the income from pre-orders alone is enough to solve the server problem.

Naturally there is no need to drag.

Launching as soon as possible to push the popularity to the peak is the top priority.

 …

"Ya'er! There are still so many talents to go online, what is the origin of this Nebula game!" PDD in Shark TV played the opening prologue of "Battlefield" again, and couldn't help expressing emotion after the launch.

As a heavy gamer, whenever there is a new game, PDD will basically try it for the first time, and once he plays it, he will be very serious, and often go offline for more than ten hours until he gets tired of playing.

And now, in the game "Battlefield", just watching Ah Yin play before, he was already shocked. After waiting for a good experience, he experienced a wave, and he was completely conquered.

However, what makes him sore is that this game has to wait for so long, which is even different from the fact that some game companies in the past would take the initiative to contact him when they found out that a big anchor like him was playing their games.

This manufacturer called Nebula Games, he found a lot of people he knew in the industry, but he couldn't find any information.

Listening to PDD's complaints, the live broadcast room is also constantly swiping the screen, obviously I feel the same way.

However, he didn't wait for him to express much emotion, because the barrage in the next second of the live broadcast room suddenly changed the style of painting and the content was what he was most concerned about now.

'Look at the update instructions of the game store interface, Mr. Park! This game has been delayed in advance! ’

'Long time to see you! The first time I saw a reverse bounce! ’

‘Mr. Park’s official blog search [Nebulas Games], this game company is simply amazing! ’

The live broadcast room said everything, but at this time PDD only understood one meaning.

That is the game "Battlefield", but the ticket was reversed! So the meaning will be online soon! ? .

Chapter Thirteen Fight! War is on!

Whether it is an ordinary player or a related person in the game industry, they have been paying close attention to Battlefield and Nebula Games.

But no matter what their status is, everyone has a feeling, that is, they are confused.

In the past, even independent games would have at least an account similar to the official blog, which was used to warm up the game before it was launched.

But "Battlefield" and Nebula games appeared like ghosts, suddenly appeared.

But because of this, when Chen Xu registered an account on the official blog, sent relevant information to the official blog server, obtained the certification of a big V, and announced it on the game interface of the official game mall, it immediately attracted countless players. focus on.

The first message sent by the official blog made many players stunned and excited at the same time.

"Thank you to all the players who support "Battlefield", quite a few players have been wondering what the background of [Nebula Games] is and why the game "Battlefield" didn't appear on the Internet before it was launched, it's simple here Answer your questions."

"Strictly speaking, "Battlefield" should actually be an 'indie' game that doesn't look like it. Why do you say this? Because I don't have an external publisher or investor, and all development costs are borne by individuals."

"The entire game took nearly two years. Of course, apart from the core framework of the game's gameplay and numerical values, many of the materials were sourced from third-party outsourcing. There was no preheating because all the funds were invested in the game development. Gain the trust and expectation of players before the finished game appears."

"When the official version is completed, even the cost of purchasing the server is gone, which is why "Battlefield" did not go online directly, but adopted the mode of prologue campaign trial and pre-sale."

"The original intention of developing this game is just as a game fanatic. I feel that the games on the market today are not what I want at all. Games are commodities, and game manufacturers and developers need to make profits. A normal thing."

"But a real game should bring happiness and emotion to players while making profits. This is also one of the original intentions of the game, rather than a game that is simply money and capital as it is now. Millions of kryptonites dominate the entire server, and ordinary players can only use kryptonite dolls as their accessories, such a game is not what I think it is, and that's why "Battlefield" was born."

"The support of all players has also made me see that this road should be feasible. I don't talk about the future, but at least for now, I hope everyone can feel the joy and emotion brought by the game "Battlefield"."

"The multiplayer mode and the follow-up single-player campaign will be officially unlocked at 18:00 tonight!"

Regarding this official blog, Chen Xu also decided to release it after thinking for a long time.

On the one hand, it is an endorsement for Nebula Games. After all, all aspects of the output of "Battlefield" have been systematically arranged, and this statement will definitely stand up to scrutiny.

In the future, it is impossible for him to only launch the game "Battlefield". At that time, Nebula Games will inevitably expand, and now he is also looking for a good reason.

On the other hand, these words are what he wants to say, and they can also be regarded as creating popularity for the game. As a real game player, Chen Xu does not want to see the game become a product just to empty every dollar in the player's wallet.

With the news of Nebula Games' official blog, it instantly exploded among the domestic game player groups.

"Fuck! You mean "Battlefield" is an independent game? Isn't it April Fool's Day?"

"If you think about it carefully, it seems that a lot of points can make sense!"

"I checked on the enterprise information network, and the company Nebula Games really feels like a leather bag company, and the reason for registering this company is only to register related copyrights and trademarks."

"So it is not officially launched, and it is not preheated just because the money is spent?"

"It's so awesome! Big Goose and Pig Factory, let's see what a real gamer looks like!"

There was a lot of excitement among the player groups. From the players who specifically went to find and discover the official blog of Nebula Games because of "Battlefield", and then after their tap water was spread in Tieba forums and other places, it attracted all the relevant passers-by and players to participate in this discussion. .

Many players who really love the game are all excited.

There are all kinds of systems on the market full of krypton gold, which treat players as old leek games. Do players really like to play?

There may be some players who really like to play, but more players are actually helpless, because they have no choice and no alternatives before.

But they clearly hope that a different game can change that.

Even many players have fantasized in their hearts, if only they could make a kind of game.

But for various reasons, most players can only fantasize, and now it seems that there is actually a game.

One person really stood up, and this made countless players excited.

Of course, there are also many players who have not experienced Battlefield, and feel that this is just a marketing campaign and will be skeptical.

But no matter what, all the players who knew about this matter, their curiosity was also aroused.

They are eager to know whether the game "Battlefield" is the marketing of an "unscrupulous company" or a real "savior".

As for the best way to learn about this game, besides buying it to experience it yourself, that is live streaming.

So, six o'clock in the evening.

Many anchors who were preparing to broadcast "Battlefield" suddenly found that the number of people in their live broadcast room had exploded.

The first to bear the brunt is A Yin. On the one hand, he is the first batch of anchors to live broadcast "Battlefield", and on the other hand, it comes from his live broadcast effect.

"Updated? The server is open! Jienima can be considered OK! The war! The war is over!"

After reaching the point, watching the updated "Battlefield", A Yin also entered the game for the first time.

Chapter 14 This is called the game of conscience

The full set of VR equipment is neatly dressed, although the live broadcast screen is still black.

But the number representing the heart rate next to it has rushed from the previous steady 75-80 to 100.

And it is still rising, which shows A Yin's excitement at this time.

Even at this time, he forgot to call his friends to play with him.

You should know that you usually play multiplayer games, in order to live broadcast effects or to help your friends.

He would always form a small team to play multiplayer games together.

But now, there is only one thought in his mind:

Enter "Battlefield" for the first time, and then have a good time!

"This background music is exciting no matter how many times I listen to it!"

Entering the menu of the main interface of the game, A Yin listened to the symphony of 'dong dong dong'.

Although the game has not yet started, it has already made A Yin a little excited.

This is the ancestral BGM of the Battlefield series.

Since the original 1942, this BGM melody has never been changed.

It's just a change of instruments for different background themes.
