Video Game Designer

The conference hall was not too big, and the invited media had already taken their seats with their badges.

Those who can come to the scene are basically the domestic first- and second-tier game media. As for the third- and fourth-tier media, most of them are excerpts from the content published by these first- and second-tier media.

Some of them have professional ethics and keep up with their ambitions, but they will borrow the photos taken by the other party, and then use their own language to organize the content of the other party.

Just like the circle of game makers, the media who came here were basically old acquaintances.

"What do you think of the ancient sword and hero of Longzu Studio this time?" Yang Yi, a reporter from the Shanghai department of the game starry sky, asked his colleagues next to him in a low voice.

"It's not very optimistic, the investment is too big, and the layout is not a global market, the domestic market may not be able to support this project." Chen Gang, a reporter from Player Paradise, shook his head after thinking about it.

This is also an idea shared by the circle at present. The game has not been seen yet, but they are not too optimistic. Compared with domestic mobile games and 'free online games' are more popular, pure stand-alone games are too difficult to survive.

Although there was a miracle of Tianhe Network before, everyone has a common understanding after the research, that is, even the games developed by Tianhe Network so far, except for the amazing Jianghu at the beginning, none of the other games are Pure stand-alone, even Jianghu didn't join the multiplayer mode later?

"For an investment of 40 million yuan, the failure of the Longzu Studio will be considered traumatic, and I am afraid that no one in the domestic game manufacturer will try a large-scale game." Speaking of this, Yang Yi is quite worried about the country. An attitude of concern for the people.

Just like thousands of players, who are not from the game industry, there is no way to experience the difficulties in person, just like some people in the past, when faced with the ruin of their country and family, they just took a pen to express their lamentation , the first thing Yang Yi thought of was what kind of blow to domestic games would be if the game failed.

But in any case, there are basically two attitudes towards this ancient sword and hero from Longzu Studio.

Needless to say, the players among them had Meteor Butterfly Sword in front of them, and with Tianhe Network as their back, and a large investment of 40 million, all players were looking forward to the final product.

For some game industry insiders and professionals, they are not very optimistic about this game at all.

One of the most important points is the domestic market.

As a stand-alone game itself, coupled with the main domestic market, the investment of up to 40 million makes people feel that it is very difficult to recover the cost.

"Turn-based RPG, focusing on the domestic market, with an investment of 40 million." Chen Jing, who was in the crowd, curled his lips and shook his head.

This time I didn't come here specifically, but mainly to participate in a mobile game production conference in Shanghai. He served as the main lecturer. He happened to hear that Gu Jian Qi Xia from Longzu Studio was holding a press conference, and he used some connections to take Check out an invitation.

As the boss of the top studio under Wangyi, he has a good understanding of games or the domestic game market.

Although it is said that today's Wangyi and the major studios are taking a very ugly path, it has to be said that today's Wangyi is the number one big brother in China. There may not be a game that can beat the game revenue of Tianhe Network, but The mobile games of the major studios are almost produced by the assembly line. The comprehensive income directly made it the leader of the domestic game industry in revenue last year, and even beat Penguin by a head.

If it's about playing games, then Chen Jing is ashamed of Chuhe who has achieved so many achievements.

But when it comes to grasping the market and what games can make the most money, then Chen Jing dares to say that he is definitely the top group in the country.

Bad reputation? What does that matter, isn't it enough to make money?

In addition to people who are not optimistic like Chen Jing, there is another person who was invited by Zhang Ke, Yao Daxian.

Watching the game introduction displayed on the big screen, and the high-spirited Zhang Ke, Yao Daxian in the audience took a deep breath.

Sufficient funds, willfully integrate your own ideas into the game, outsource if the technology is not enough, and have a backstage if the funds are not enough, this is what Yao Daxian once dreamed of.

When he was making games in the past, he only had the quality of the game in his head, and there would even be a situation where the game was half done and the team's salary could not be paid.

But I don't know when, he learned to consider the market, he learned to control costs, and he learned how to use his feelings.

The former self and the present self are probably two people.

An inexplicable thought appeared in Yao Daxian's mind.

"Today, our President Chu also came to the scene. If you have any questions about the game, you can also ask President Chu." After introducing the game's features, release time, and related prices and other normal procedures, Zhang Ke said to the reporters in the audience.

Accompanied by a low and noisy discussion, Chuhe came up from the backstage.

If there is anything to say, there is actually nothing to say. It is nothing more than a brief introduction to Gu Jian Qi Xia. After all, this is a promotional conference specially held for Gu Jian Qi Xia.

But things will always develop in unexpected ways. For example, there is a news about Chuhe that reporters pay more attention to.

"President Chu, can you tell us about the latest progress of Red Dead Redemption?" On the eve of the end of the press conference, a reporter suddenly asked loudly.

This question was like opening a floodgate, and the rest of the reporters also asked curious questions.

Although it may not be possible to get an answer, but ask.

"Mr. Chu, at next year's E3 exhibition, can we see the latest news about Red Dead Redemption?"

"President Chu, what kind of game will Red Dead Redemption be?"

Hearing the questions from the reporters in the audience, Chu He froze for a moment, then smiled: "Today's protagonist is Gu Jian Qi Xia, but since everyone is so interested, I will give a brief answer."

"The progress of the game, I can only say that the progress of the development is beyond your imagination; the genre is a combination of AAG and sandbox games. As for more news, maybe you can find some news on my Weibo."

Weibo?

A kind of reporter in the audience was stunned for a moment, and then quickly turned on the phone.

The interviews about Gu Jian Qi Xia have all been recorded by a voice recorder, and it was originally a press conference for the main publicity, and even the manuscript template has been prepared in advance.

But the news about Red Dead Redemption is the highlight.

After all, this should be strictly speaking, the first domestically produced 3A game.

"Latest progress video!"

"Are all the movements of the characters in the game provided by actors?"

"A new promotional trailer? Is this a game demo? Is the game almost ready?"

In addition to the corresponding studio pictures, there is also a DEMO video called "trial" by the media present.

In a short fifteen seconds, the main content is above the wilderness. As the protagonist, Marston had a revolver duel with an unknown cowboy. With the sound of a revolver gun, the entire game screen ended.

A video screen similar to a trial play, plus what Chuhe said earlier that the development progress is beyond everyone's imagination, does this mean that the game will be available for everyone to see soon?

Maybe at E3, there will be a demo of Red Dead Redemption?

In the hearts of the reporters, a bold idea appeared.

If these ideas were known to Prott, who is still in Los Angeles Black Light Studio, they would definitely feel speechless for a while.

The development progress is beyond everyone's imagination, of course, you think it is almost ready, but in fact you haven't even kneaded the dough!

Also next year's E3 trial?

It will be great if E3 next year can make a mold for you.

Chuhe is a very bad person.

Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding, although it is still stranded, most people’s Twitter is to post news about star chasing, food, travel, and occasionally a message about Death Stranding, saying that I am not lazy, I am really doing it Yes.

And Chuhe posts on Weibo every day, and by the way, because Red Dead Redemption is a game aimed at the world, Twitter also started to post it simultaneously, revealing the same meaning all day long, the team is working very hard, and the progress of the game development is abnormal Good luck, everyone please look forward to it.

However……

hehe.
