Rebirth of an Entrepreneurial Life

Chapter 72: Ideas in the Dota Era

It was June 30 in a blink of an eye, and it has been two months since Chen Ping was reborn.

A lot of things have happened in these two months.

In just two months, Chen Ping's business has improved slightly, and his assets have exceeded 10 million.

You must know that for the game "Plants vs. Zombies" alone, the valuation of the outside world has reached tens of millions. In addition, the Changping Supermarket has a three-story store worth 5 million under Chen Ping's name. After all, Chen Ping's assets are already quite a lot.

But for these, Chen Ping has not calculated it carefully.

In the past two days, Chen Ping has been discussing the development of the second game with Xue Mingtao.

On the morning of the 30th, when Chen Ping was in the office and Xue Mingtao were thinking about the direction of the second game development, suddenly, Chen Ping's eyes lit up and he quickly searched on the computer, and a faint smile appeared on his face. .

Seeing Chen Ping's movements, Xue Mingtao was also a little strange, unable to restrain his curiosity, and took a look at the probe.

However, seeing the information Chen Ping searched on the Internet, Xue Mingtao was also confused.

The next moment, Chen Ping turned his head to look at Xue Mingtao, and asked with a soft smile, "Have you ever played this game?"

Xue Mingtao was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook his head, and said softly, "That's not true, but I have heard of this game. It seems to be developed by a game company in the United States. The game of hegemony is the same company and is currently preparing to launch it, but I don’t know the specific launch date.”

Chen Ping nodded. Although Xue Mingtao is an old man in the game development industry, he has always only worked in the domestic game market. Xue Mingtao does not have a deep understanding of the foreign game market.

Although Blizzard, the game company, has developed the absolute classic game of StarCraft, the game of StarCraft has not caused much waves in China. Although there are many people playing it, it is not yet It is one of the most popular games in China.

So Xue Mingtao didn't know Blizzard Game Company, which is normal.

Chen Ping decisively turned the computer in front of him to Xue Mingtao, pointed to the computer screen, and said with a smile: "Look at the introduction of this game!"

Xue Mingtao glanced at Chen Ping in surprise, and then carefully looked at the web page that Chen Ping had opened.

After a while, Xue Mingtao asked softly and doubtfully: "Is this game special? It seems to be just a stand-alone game. Although the game can be played online, it seems to have nothing to do with the game we will develop ourselves!"

Chen Ping smiled and shook his head. After a while, he said softly: "I just checked and the game will go live tomorrow! Before, the first and second versions of this game Foreign countries have achieved considerable success. As for this third edition, it is definitely the most classic game template. Although it does not have too many players, believe me, it will be derived from this game in the future. Some game maps can definitely become popular all over the world, and even open a new era of games!"

Hearing Chen Ping's words, Xue Mingtao's eyes flashed with doubts. After reading the brief introduction of this game seriously, the doubts in his heart still remained unresolved.

After a long silence, Xue Mingtao just said softly: "Mr. Chen, this game is not yet online after all. We have not seen the specific content of it yet. How do you know that it will be popular all over the world in the future?"

Chen Ping was stunned for a while, and then quickly reacted.

Indeed, the official launch time of this game is tomorrow, and it will take at least a few months to enter the country. During this time, this game is almost invisible in China.

What's more, although the name of this game is almost universally known in the future, at least for now, no one can predict the development prospects of this game.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Ping suddenly pointed his finger at a few lines on the webpage and said softly, "Have you noticed this?"

Xue Mingtao took a closer look, then slowly nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Players can make maps by themselves. This is a bit novel, but the essence of this game is the officially released game content. Players make maps. There won’t be much profit margins, right? After all, for people who develop their own game maps, they still have to rely on the game’s platform. This will not help our game company’s development much!"

Hearing what Xue Mingtao said, Chen Ping chuckled unpredictably, and then slowly said, "Believe me, you will know in the future, in this game, there must be several maps that will be popular all over the country. Even the whole world!"

With that, Chen Ping's eyes flashed with reminiscence.

The previous life was just after the game gradually started to become popular. Although not many people would pay attention to it in the early stage, when a few maps appeared on this game platform, it even directly opened a new game era!

But at present, this game has not been launched after all, so no one knows how huge shock this game will bring to the whole world in the future.

Chen Ping's heart is also a little eager. Although he wants to make that map, he still needs to wait for the game to officially enter the Chinese market. At that time, his plan can begin to be officially launched.

Afterwards, Chen Ping briefly introduced Xue Mingtao's thoughts in his mind, but there are many key points in this, and Chen Ping has no way to explain in detail, so that Xue Mingtao also heard a little cloud and mist, but look at Chen Ping. Excited, Xue Mingtao's heart also raised endless curiosity.

In Chen Ping's mouth, Xue Mingtao heard a word for the first time, real-time competitive game.

According to Chen Ping, on such a game map, a total of 10 people can play against each other, with five people as one side, and both sides fight with the goal of destroying the opponent’s base. The duration of a game is about half an hour. .

The entire game model completely broke the existing stand-alone game and online game template.

As Chen Ping said, if such a game mode can really become popular, it can really open a brand new game era!

But Xue Mingtao is really unsure whether this game era can truly be popular around the world as Chen Ping said.

After all, even the game itself has not yet been launched, and the derived maps are even more unlikely to appear. Many things Chen Ping said can not be seen at all before he has operated it personally. He can only suppress his mind. Curiosity.

When Chen Ping talked about this incident, he only thought of this reason. The game map he said was actually the Dota that made the whole world popular in the past life!

The game itself, which will be launched in the United States tomorrow, is Chen Ping’s past life, the almost well-known Warcraft 3.

Although there were many players in the content of Warcraft in the early stage, the target of everyone's attention has gradually shifted from the content of the game itself to the various game derived maps that are constantly innovating.

This game has become a game platform. Many game maps developed have been popular for a while, and the most classic of them is the Dota that Chen Ping intends to develop.

Dota also opened a new era of games, real-time competitive games.

In fact, the real-time competitive game is not started by Dota. StarCraft is the first popular real-time competitive game in the world, but the problem is that many domestic players have never played StarCraft.

For people like Chen Ping, the most familiar thing is Dota.

What's more, when he opened the era of 5V5 real-time competitive games, it was not only Dota itself, but also League of Legends, Glory of Kings, etc., all of which were popular all over the world.

In Chen Ping’s impression, Dota’s game map was released for the first time, and it should be a few years later. If he can release Dota first, this game map will be officially launched to the entire world. At that time, Chen Ping even You can fully master the game IP of the follow-up League of Legends and Glory of Kings, which are called gold monsters!

However, at present, this is just a matter of fact. Although Chen Ping has played these games many times and is very familiar with the many heroes involved, it is not Chen Ping who wants to fully develop it. Just say it.

It is not so easy to develop and promote the Dota map alone.

At least the current Coslight Technology Company does not have the ability to do so.

Therefore, Chen Ping only briefly talked about his thoughts with Xue Mingtao, and then took the matter to heart.

It was precisely because of this idea that Chen Ping finally made a decision in his heart.

Originally, Chen Ping planned to continue to develop several stand-alone games, accumulate a certain amount of funds, and then officially release a large-scale online game. This path is also most suitable for the current Coslight Technology Company. After all, this will be more stable and developed. There is no need to take too much risk in the process.

But after thinking of the Dota, Chen Ping changed his mind.

It is not that he gave up the development of online games, but that he wants to give up the development of stand-alone games.

If Chen Ping remembers correctly, the domestic stand-alone game market will be completely desolate after one or two years. Even if it is the game of the Legend of Sword and Fairy series that is now popular in the country, there are several subsequent game developments, but they are hot. However, the degree is gradually decreasing. Now that the development of stand-alone games can make some money~www.wuxiaspot.com~, it does not have much benefit for the future development of Coslight Technology.

If you really want Coslight Technology to keep up with the times in game development, and surpass the times, you need Coslight Technology to take a risk!

The current Coslight Technology Company is too small to develop an online game, and the risk is not low. Once the game fails to develop or is not successful after being launched, the current size of Coslight Technology will directly fall!

This is also the reason why Chen Ping wanted to develop several stand-alone games before, because only then can Coslight Technology Corporation accumulate more funds and strength, and the fault tolerance rate is also higher.

But now, Chen Ping has changed his opinion!

He had been neglecting it before. Is there any reason for the game that he developed from the eyes of his rebirth to fail?

If it really fails, it can only be said that Chen Ping is solely responsible!

On the other hand, if a game company wants to achieve long-term development, the most important thing is not the ability to make money, but how many **** players it can have.

Now, although Chen Ping does not have much money in his hands, he will wait for the game "Plants vs. Zombies" to become popular. The revenue from advertising space alone is enough to support Chen Ping's development of an online game.

What's more, in the early stage of online game development, the investment is not too much. After all, the early stage is just some preparations to plan the main direction of the game.
