Game designer: I am making games, not charity

Which one to choose? !
Chen Feng has a big head.

He decided to check online first to see what the game market in this world is like.

Which of "Evil Realm" and "Diablo" can better cater to the market in this world.

He opened the browser and entered the web page of the game section, and was immediately attracted by several news headlines that were enlarged and thickened.

[The plagiarism incident of Penguin Games has come to an end!Nanshan lawyers win! The boss of the "Kart Simulator" company scolded Penguin with blood and tears, but was criticized for being popular! 】

[Penguin's monthly revenue exceeded 60 billion, President Ma topped the rich list again, the pride of the game industry! 】

[P agency "Volleyball Simulator" was taken off the shelves, causing a lot of heated discussions among players, insisting that the game also needs to be rated, and perhaps the rating system will become a major trend in future games. 】

While watching, Chen Feng was also thinking in his heart.

The games in this world are basically simulators, with no storyline or gameplay.

In terms of gameplay alone, both "Evil World" and "Diablo" are very good.

However, "Magic Domain" is an online game, and "Diablo" is a stand-alone game.

Although "Diablo" also has a multiplayer mode, it was only added later, and its core is still just a stand-alone game.

In terms of the market, online games are naturally better than stand-alone games.

Chen Feng hesitated even more.

How about... do "Evil Realm"?
Chen Feng was scrolling down, thinking while suddenly, a piece of news related to "Legend" jumped into his eyes.

[The Pangu Game Award went to Penguin Company's "Legend of Warriors". Mr. Ma delivered his acceptance speech. When asked by reporters about the recent popular "Legend", he actually said this...]

Chen Feng frowned, swiped his fingers, and clicked in.

Inside is the backstage of an awards ceremony. President Ma of Penguin Company is holding a trophy and is being interviewed.

With a faint smile on his face, he said: "To be able to win this award is the result of the joint efforts of all employees of our company. At the same time, I would like to thank all players for their support."

The reporter took a step closer with a microphone and asked, "May I know that there has been a lot of rumors recently about the failure of your company to acquire "Legend". Do you know about it? What do you think about it?"

Mr. Ma was taken aback for a moment, and then shook his head: "I don't know about this matter, it should be done by some employees of the company in private, well, I am not interested in purely commercial games like "Legend" at all. .”

The reporter obviously didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, so he continued to move the microphone closer and said: "Mr. Ma, we also want to ask, what do you think of the computer online game "Legend" that has become popular recently? It is said that many players rated it as an epoch-making game. online games."

The impeccable smile returned to Mr. Ma's face, and he said lightly: ""Legend" is indeed a very good commercial online game. It has done a good job in attracting players to recharge and marketing, but...

Such a game is only a commercial game after all. At least, in awards like Pangu, "Legend" and Platinum Game Company are not eligible to be nominated, and that Mr. Chen will never be eligible to stand here accept the award. "

……

Watching the video, Mr. Ma criticized "Legend" and his company with a faint smile, Chen Feng couldn't help but froze.

This is too disrespectful.

Don't you just refuse to buy?Is it worth talking badly to me in such a public place?

This man is so small...

Chen Feng slandered, got up, called Zhang Mengyao from outside, pointed to the news on the computer and said:
"Mengyao, what kind of Pangu game award is this, is it well-known in the industry?"

Zhang Mengyao froze for a moment, several question marks popped up in his head, how could the senior not even know about the Pangu Game Award.

She couldn't help but lowered her head and leaned forward to take a closer look at the content of the interview with President Ma. Immediately, a sullen look appeared on her fair face.

"How could Mr. Ma say that, it's so impolite!"

As she said that, she looked at Chen Feng helplessly: "Senior, this Pangu Award is the most famous award in the game industry in China, and it has a high gold content."

Chen Feng was a little annoyed: "I've chosen this year's game, why didn't the organizer of this award notify me?"

Zhang Mengyao sighed helplessly, and explained: "The requirement for being shortlisted for the Pangu Game Awards is the top ten games with the highest praise of the year. Our "Legend" came out recently, so we haven't caught up yet.

but……"

Chen Feng urged, "But what?"

Zhang Mengyao was a little helpless: "But even if you can catch up, you may not be able to win the award. Most of the nominees for the Pangu Game Award are games that are not particularly commercial.

Those judges are more interested in the game's mechanism and game engine.

As for Penguin's "Legend of the Warriors" this time, it is actually an outlier.

Because of its commercial nature, the point card revenue even broke the sales record of online games in the world.

But it still won the award, really because of its top-notch simulation system and game graphics.

The walking, running, jumping, and other actions of normal people are simulated very realistically.

And our "Legend"...of course it is also very good, that is, it doesn't match the game that Pan Gu needs. "

Zhang Mengyao could only make her explanation a little more tactful.

Chen Feng on the side, after hearing these words, was silent for a while, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he said, "Notify everyone, hold a meeting, and prepare for the production of the next game."

After Zhang Mengyao went out to inform everyone, Chen Feng lowered his head and looked at Mr. Ma holding the trophy on the computer screen, his eyes turned cold.

Decided, the next game will be "Diablo"!
You must know that this game has won countless awards in the previous life!

Its story, gameplay, and freedom were all top-notch when it was first released!

This game is out, and it's sure to win an award!

Moreover, he just took a look at the number of stand-alone game purchases in this world.

VR games that must have 10,000+ game cabins can sell so many copies. With the quality of "Diablo", you will only buy more!
……

meeting room.

Everyone had a bit of puzzlement on their faces.

"Mr. Chen said you're going to make a new game?"

"Isn't our "Legend" just getting popular? We are starting to make a new game now, and the steps are too big."

Among the discussions.

Chen Feng walked out of the office and sat at the head of the conference room.

Luo Zhonghao touched Mediterranean's forehead, a little puzzled: "Mr. Chen, I don't think it's appropriate to start making new games now.

Our "Legend" has just become popular, and now we should put more attention on "Legend", add more activities, and increase the intensity of marketing and promotion, which will make "Legend" a higher level. "

Regarding Luo Zhonghao's proposal, Chen Feng nodded, but did not accept it.

"The follow-up of "Legend" only needs to do a good job of maintenance and normal operation. It is enough to maintain the activities we have set now. Too many other activities will only make players aesthetically tired, and finally abandon the game. It is meaningless. Well, now I give Let’s divide up the work and start making the next game starting tomorrow.”

Luo Zhonghao: "???"

Zhang Mengyao: "???"

The theme, carrier, and mode of the next game have not been prepared yet, so you are starting to prepare for the production? !
In the end, it was Zhang Mengyao who said softly: "Senior, do we want to discuss the subject matter and make more preparations before we talk about it?"

Chen Feng smiled lightly: "No need, all kinds of data and game content for the next game have already been prepared, starting tomorrow, we will start working directly.

Our next game is called Diablo! "
