Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 598 Tifa's Little Theater; The official version of "Counter-Strike" is released globally
After much deliberation, Tian Moyun found an old partner who worked with him in the past—【Ray Animation Company】

I remember that when we first cooperated, [Light Animation] was among the best in the domestic animation industry, but Tian Moyun didn't quite appreciate the technology at that time.

But now, after several successes, coupled with Tian Moyun's huge investment, the technical strength of [Ray Animation] has improved by leaps and bounds.

Being able to hire top talents at a high price, and being willing to spend money to produce domestic animation, life is not bad.

Tian Moyun hasn't cooperated with them for a while.

Since the animation adaptations of "Shooting the Condor" and "Yi Tian" were completed, the two parties have had little overlap.

Some things like promotional videos, [Happy Game] and [Storm Game] can be produced, but there is no need to cooperate with each other.

But right now, neither side has time to produce, so Tian Moyun had to find [Ray Animation] here.

Not far.

Because just after the investment and shareholding, in response to the strong request of the entire team of [Glow Animation], they finally agreed to relocate the company to "Thunder Life Park".

The main reason is that there are not many people.

Not counting those outsourced teams, the entire company has less than 200 people.

This number of people, "Thunder Life Park" can still accommodate, without any pressure.

The senior management of the group did not have any objection to this. Although [Light Animation] is an independent company in name, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a subsidiary of [Thunder Group].

The group accounts for 80% of the shares, and most of the popular cartoons are adapted from the group's game IP.

……

"This can be done, but..."

The person in charge hesitated for a moment, and said: "The animation production technology here at [Rainbow] still has a gap compared with the top teams in the game circle. The effect may not be ideal, so we can only try our best."

It's not to shirk, but there is a real gap, and the gap is not small.

[Rainbow] Here, to produce an animation, if the engine does not cost money, the cost is only 800 million. Only by controlling the cost can we make a profit.

Although the picture quality, plot, special effects, and dubbing are considered top in the animation industry, they are not on the same level as the two top game companies [Happy] and [Storm].

The same is to make a promotional video, and the cost of others is more than ten times that of theirs. Can the things produced be the same?

They are a very good production team, yes, but they are even better, and they are more willing to spend money.

"Give you 3 days to do basic modeling."

Tian Moyun frowned and said, "After 3 days, show me the result. If it doesn't work, then you can only find IPs to make animations yourself."

"This……"

The face of the person in charge changed slightly, and he bit the bullet and expressed his best efforts.

This pressure is not small.

If they were not allowed to make IP animation adaptations mastered by [Thunder Group], it would be difficult for [Light] to be nourished like it is now, and it would even be difficult to survive.

It is difficult to make money in domestic animation, unless you find a "good father" like now, or simply go abroad to find those more suitable soils, and then find a way to take root and survive, otherwise... you may lose money if you do it.

……

After 3 days.

The person in charge of [Rainbow] handed over a copy of the basic modeling to Tian Moyun.

This is modeled after [Happy Game], the style is slightly different, and the overall quality is slightly inferior, but fortunately, the gap is not very big.

"Isn't this possible?"

Tian Moyun looked at him with a smile that was not a smile: "At the time, seeing how unconfident you said, I thought there was a big gap, but now it seems that I haven't been disappointed yet."

"..."

The person in charge smiled awkwardly.

In order to make this basic modeling, the whole company worked overtime and overnight, and it was canceled dozens of times. Otherwise, how could there be the current results?

It is said that human potential is forced out.

This is not true.

If Tian Moyun hadn't threatened him secretly, [Ray Animation] might not be able to give him a satisfactory answer.

Sure enough, in order to survive, people can really do anything... except math problems.

"Final Fantasy: Tifa, I'll leave this to you guys."

Tian Moyun said.

"President Tian, ​​at that time..."

The person in charge of the light hesitated to ask.

"The time is not too tight, it is August 8th, you can make it for me before August 11th, is that okay?"

Tian Moyun said casually.

It's just a small theater, and the total duration is less than half an hour. If it can't be done well in more than ten days... then it's better to close the door as soon as possible.

"no problem."

The person in charge of Guangguang heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that he would be given another 3 days... really scared, because the wind on the balcony was so strong today.

……

Hand over the small theater of "Final Fantasy: Tifa" to [Ray Animation] for production.

Tian Moyun returned to Su Qiong's side.

"I don't need your help here."

Su Qiong glanced at him: "You'd better go back, you see everyone is busy, only you are here to relax, it's not appropriate, right?"

"Uh……"

Tian Moyun blinked, and said uncertainly, "I can still help."

"Can you help with drinks and snacks?"

Su Qiong narrowed her eyes: "Have you fallen in love with a certain beautiful young lady? Do you want me to ask for your contact information?"

"..."

Tian Moyun always felt that there was a danger approaching him.

Although she didn't know what happened to the girl, she still left the company in a sensible way.

"Did you take the wrong medicine? Did you come to my aunt?"

Tian Moyun didn't understand.

Girls are scary creatures, moody, always inexplicably angry, and occasionally giggling and blushing inexplicably, which makes people caught off guard.

Forget it, just let her calm down.

……

the next day.

8 month 12 day.

The official version of "Counter-Strike" is released.

The price of 99 yuan makes a ticket for the free game zero-charge party secretly criticize how expensive it is, but this does not stop the enthusiasm of most players.

Is it expensive?

It's not expensive. Compared with the rich and exciting content of "Counter-Strike", this price can be said to be quite affordable.

If it is released globally, the price will definitely not be lower than 300 yuan, which is the most normal standard price for a large production.

Of course, it is also because foreign players are richer.

Classmate Jin Xinxin——

An unknown game player.

A few days ago, since he experienced the public beta version of "Counter-Strike", he has been deeply fascinated by this game, and even his favorite online novels are boring.

The highly immersive 3D game "Counter-Strike" has brought him a lot of shocks. The modern gun battle that seems to be on the scene seems to have awakened some blood genes in his body, which is different from any game. available.

After all, the public beta has only one mode, and only one prologue.

Although the game feels good, the content is too small, and it is actually a bit boring after playing for a long time.

Jin Xinxin is looking forward to the arrival of the official version, which is today.

I browsed the software store over and over again, opened [Starry Sky Reading] boringly, searched for "Monkey King" habitually, and then checked the author column, but found that there were still no new works, so I had to read other novels.

After flipping through a few books, I feel that the content is really lacking in new ideas, old-fashioned and boring, and my mood is not calmed by it, but even more irritable.

As we all know, when you are thinking about other things, you can't read any books.

This is the case with Jin Xinxin at the moment.

Time seems to pass very slowly at this moment, and Jin Xinxin clearly feels what it means to live like a year.

Until the time came to 8:00 in the morning, "Counter-Strike" was officially launched.

Facing the price threshold of 99 yuan, Jin Xinxin clicked to buy without any hesitation.

There are thousands of dollars in his account, all of which are used for online consumption, such as novels, comics, games, as well as film and television drama VIPs, music VIPs, all of which cost money, so he simply recharged a few thousand and slowly use.

Successful purchase!

Downloading now!
The download is successful, start!
This is a very slow process, but Jin Xinxin is not in a hurry.

After the download and installation is complete, start the game and enter the familiar Counter-Strike interface.

Rich game content, a variety of different ways to play, Jin Xinxin fumbled a little bit, the kind of refreshing mood is indescribable.

When he wants to play the matching mode, a message box pops up, prompting to recharge.

Recharge 10 yuan without hesitation, open the network service for 30 days, and then enter the matching hall.

Time passed little by little.

While waiting, he felt that the days seemed like years, but now, he felt that the time passed too fast, as if it had been accelerated countless times.

When he felt hungry, he realized that it was 4 pm and he had played for 8 hours.

"No, if you continue playing, you will die suddenly."

Jin Xinxin didn't dare to continue playing, mainly because her stomach couldn't keep up.

He hastily turned off the computer and went to eat. At the same time, he took out his mobile phone to check Weibo news. He had a hunch that "Counter-Strike" must be a hot search.

Weibo hot search for this kind of thing——

The threshold does not seem to be very high.

Hmm... This is for a real big shot. Just a little action can be trending, and the popularity... Even the first-line stars are jealous.

……

on Weibo.

The news of the official release of "Counter-Strike" directly topped the list of hot searches.

I don’t know how many netizens are posting pictures and marveling at the rich content and gameplay of the game.

"This is definitely the most exciting game I've ever played, and it's one of those games where life and death are decided in seconds, and the blood boils."

"The public beta version is just a prologue, and it is already very fun. As soon as the official version is released, it brings me even more shock."

"I can only say that 99 yuan is too much value. This game is not expensive even if you sell three 3 yuan. I am worried that the game manufacturer will lose money."

"This is really a manifestation of technical strength. [Storm], known as the strongest developer in the game circle, really deserves its reputation."

""Counter-Strike" has almost brought online games to a whole new level. In a short period of time, it is difficult for any game to match it."

"I just went to the Internet to watch it, and even foreign game circles have been swamped by this game, which is even crazier than the previous "Warcraft"."

"The light of domestic production deserves its name."

"By the way, don't you all play matching mode? I feel that the number of people is a bit small, and the matching time is a bit long. Hurry up."

"I just spent 99 yuan. I need to take it easy first. When I get tired of playing the single player mode, I will play matching and practice my skills by the way."

"The voice call in the matching mode is very easy to use. The experience of long-distance relationship should be good. Single dogs may also be able to meet young ladies."

Netizens are discussing.

Not only Weibo, but also various forums such as Tieba, are all screened by "Counter-Strike", and there is a sense that if you don't play, you are a lowB.

Even many netizens who were vacillating and hesitant to buy were pulled into the pit by these people.

……

"Counter-Strike was an instant hit."

A colleague in the game industry sighed: "Those companies that make online games may not be in a good mood now. "Counter-Strike" is too strong. If it continues like this, it will become the best-selling game in the country within a month." Computer games, when the time comes... all companies competing with "Counter-Strike" will be unlucky, tsk tsk tsk."

In the end, there was some schadenfreude.

The competition in the game circle is still very fierce, especially in this era of great prosperity.

Therefore, if one or some game manufacturers are unlucky, other colleagues will usually choose to gloat and watch the joke, silently hoping that the other party will lose a little more...

"It is almost inevitable that "Counter-Strike" will become a national-level game. The popularity is too terrifying. The popularity of "Fantasy Westward Journey" was very high before, and now it has at least five times more."

Some peers sighed: "Although it is a buyout game, this does not affect the popularity of "Counter-Strike" all over the country. For a long time in the future, online games will be respected with "Counter-Terrorism". If we develop It’s okay to say about other games, but if we also develop similar FPS games, I’m afraid it will be difficult, and it will be difficult to surpass classic masterpieces.”

During the public beta of "Counter-Strike" before, some powerful manufacturers had plans to develop similar FPS games.

However, after seeing the game content of the official version of "Counter-Strike", I feel very sad.

With the popularity of "Counter-Strike", FPS games are destined to become a major mainstream genre in the future, and countless manufacturers will actively develop FPS games and share this big cake.

But the problem is-

There is a masterpiece-level FPS game "Counter-Strike", let alone surpassing it, even if they want to get close, it is very difficult, and the gap will be huge. Unless there is an excellent creative gameplay, otherwise, it will be difficult to compete in " Survive under the strong sweep of Counter-Strike.

It is certainly impossible for the FPS game market to be completely dominated by a game like "Counter-Strike", but the market share left to other manufacturers will not be too much, not even 10%, which is inevitable.

"I think...it would be good for us to make console games."

The boss of a certain manufacturer has a deep understanding of FPS after experiencing "Counter-Strike" in depth.

Looking at the FPS game I was designing again, I suddenly felt that the game design idea that was originally good has now become very mediocre, without any surprises.

For a new game -

Nothing out of the ordinary means no competitiveness and a dead end!
They are not star designers like Tian Moyun, nor are they [Happy] and [Storm]. They don't have that kind of strong promotional ability.

Their only advantage is to make games that are interesting and worth buying for mass players/niche players.

And if a game is mediocre...who would put Counter-Strike away and play their game instead?
There are also such people, those who are tired of playing "Anti-Terrorism" and want to change their taste... But these are very few after all, and it is better to pray for pie in the sky than to rely on this to make money.

"The four top players are already preparing to develop a console masterpiece. It seems that they are preparing for the release of [Thunder 2]. Let's... also give it a try."

The boss said thoughtfully: "I think this may be more reliable and less risky. As for the development cost...we can discuss it with the richest man and get some investment and support funds, right?"

A group of employees nodded quickly, thinking that the boss's decision was really wise.

At this time, if you dare to play FPS games against the limelight of "Counter-Strike", you will really be in the head.
