After the meeting, Chu He and Wang He found another small restaurant privately, chatting while drinking.

In general, I didn't talk much about work, but more about the industry, or to be precise, the domestic stand-alone industry.

"The domestic stand-alone environment is actually not as bad as I thought. Now players are getting more and more genuine. A small pixel-style independent game supported by wegame some time ago sold 77 games in a week on the wegame platform alone." After landing on the steam platform, 30,000 copies were sold on the first day, and it became a hot seller in the country." Wang He said to Chuhe after eating a mouthful of kidney seeds.

70,000 copies in the first week, just on the WEGAME platform; 30,000 copies on the first day, the steam platform sold well, which is already a very impressive statistic.

With a plastic glove on his left hand and chopsticks on his right, Chu He, who was gnawing on a big pig's trotter, nodded.

The concept of the game is changing with time, and the concept of players is obviously changing with time. If we go back to seven or eight years ago, there is really no hope for domestic stand-alone games.

On the one hand, the vast majority of players who got up early to support the original version have already been heartbroken by stand-alone games; It is ridiculous to think that all games are free, even if you play your pirated games, it is to save your face; in the end, it is rampant piracy, whether it is a large game portal or a small game forum, it is full of They are all resources of pirated games.

Now, although there are still pirated versions of domestic games, most of them are spread in places like post bars and cloud disks. At least large and small portals will no longer have these pirated resources.

"However, the domestic environment is still not enough to support the development of a 3A game." Chu He wiped his mouth with a wet towel next to the pig's trotter after eating the pig's trotter. After eating, it was like eating paste, sticky and sticky.

Wang He, who was still eating kidney beside him, also nodded when he heard Chu He's words.

Although the domestic sales of Gu Jian Qi Xia alone have exceeded two million at present, and this is only the digital version, counting the physical version sold and the development of the third profit such as product peripherals, it is not enough. It is said that the profit is full, but the profit is definitely not a problem.

The reason why this can be so successful, in addition to its own quality, Tianhe Network's name is also a large part of the help.

"You guys chose to develop Red Dead Redemption, and you chose the historical background as the western part of the United States because of this." Wang He picked up his glass and took a sip of the wine, looking at Chuhe and said.

"That's not true." Chuhe shook his head and said.

"The decision to do 3A at that time was mainly because I participated in E3 for the first time and achieved considerable results. In addition, the company had a lot of money in its account and had no place to spend it. I decided to do 3A as soon as my head became hot. When I first decided to do 3A, I actually never thought about making money. Even now, I haven’t thought about how much money Red Dead Redemption can make when it’s released. It’s probably just to fulfill a dream. As for the subject matter, I definitely want to do it myself. It is a game with Chinese characteristics, but I have to consider the company and the overall environment, the most important thing is that we cannot fail, if we all fail, not to mention that the domestic stand-alone game is completely over, but at least it will be a big blow." Chu He said with a wry smile.

The domestic stand-alone savior, even most players and even the media, call Chuhe and Tianhe Network in this way.

However, Chuhe and Tianhe Network have never been so arrogant, but Tianhe Network has inevitably become a representative of domestic stand-alone games.

Because so far, among the domestic stand-alone games, only Tianhe Network is thriving. There is no second game company that can invest so much money in the stand-alone game industry, nor has it achieved such dazzling results.

Chuhe still felt quite a lot of pressure, especially when trying to make 3A production. When the project was first approved, he laughed and laughed, thinking that if he lost money, he would lose money. Anyway, it was just a number.

But after the excitement passed, Chuhe began to think more deeply, not to mention the great responsibility for the domestic stand-alone industry, but the responsibility for the company itself is quite big.

But these words, although Chuhe felt that they were all the truth, but in Wang He's ears, it felt like an invisible dazzle.

So the first domestically produced 3A, but you think there is too much money to spend? Want to fulfill a dream?

How can an investment of more than 100 million US dollars be so light in your mouth?

"Mr. Chu, it's really... so free and easy." Holding the wine glass, Wang He held back for a long time, and then uttered a sentence with a wry smile.

"It's okay, I didn't think about anything at the beginning. I didn't think about becoming a corporate giant when I made money. I just wanted to make games well. But now I have made a lot of money. To be honest, Tianhe Network has no shortage I have money, so I also thought about whether I need to find something to do." Chuhe also smiled and took a sip of his wine.

Hearing Chu He's words, Wang He's heart moved: "Mr. Chu...?"

"Wegame has always had a support plan for domestic independent games. I think we can cooperate." Chu He said to Wang He.

Regarding Penguin wegame's independent game support plan, the main purpose is actually to increase the promotion of the WEGAME platform, but it is undeniable that it has indeed provided great help to domestic independent game production teams.

"Could Mr. Chu be more specific?" Wang He also ignored the waistline in front of him, and listened carefully to what Chu He said next.

"I think we can support some relatively high-quality domestic independent games, such as providing platforms, corresponding funds, and resources." Chu He said to Wang He.

In fact, it is similar to the previous national online game support plan, but the difference is that this one has no official color.

Chuhe is actually not too optimistic about the policy led by his superiors. It is too difficult to implement and there are too many things to consider.

On the one hand, I am not optimistic about the official support policy, and on the other hand, I have also moved my mind, but if I do it myself, experience is a problem, and at the same time, the corresponding channels and network are another problem, and there are already corresponding support plans for these The wegame is obviously the most suitable in China.

Listening to Chuhe's words, Wang He also understood Chuhe's meaning: "This is the best thing. Wegame has always had plans in this regard."

Regarding supporting domestic independent games, wegame has always had this kind of plan. At the same time, wegame is still preparing for an offline game exhibition recently, providing a display platform for domestic independent games that can be oriented to players. Of course, the main purpose is to promote the wegame platform.

However, if they want to cooperate, they must discuss the details in detail. Although they don't care about these, Chuhe doesn't want to be taken advantage of, spending money and energy, and finally fulfilling Wegame's reputation.

As for the name of the project, it should be called the 'China Star Project'.
