In fact, not many people care about how much money was invested in "The Legend of Laobai Qunxia 2".

Except for a very small number of people, what everyone cares about is whether the game's graphics are beautiful, whether the music is good, and whether the gameplay is novel. Of course, for an RPG game, the most important thing is whether the plot is good enough.

Even classic enough!

So after a few arguments, everyone's attention was focused on the game itself.

As for this game, all four of them were addicted to it.

Let’s not talk about the graphics. We all play games every day. Naturally, we know that the graphics of "The Legend of Laobai Qunxia 2" are already world-class. But the most attractive thing for everyone is that it makes people unable to stop from the beginning.

plot!

The plot of "Snowy Mountain Flying Fox" is definitely not overstated!

Especially a seemingly accidental encounter involved an old incident from decades ago, and the protagonists were legendary figures like Hu Yidao and Miao Renfeng, making Sun Zhan and the others unable to stop at all...

…

"I'm sure it's a real open world!"

Taking a deep breath, Wang Li said solemnly: "And after our staff's sleepless testing all day long, it is certain that there are very few bugs, and even if there are there, it will basically not affect the players!"

After listening to his words, Weng Kaishan frowned and said, "Well, what about other aspects? How do you think it compares to our "Qingfeng 2"?"

"this……"

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Li didn't speak for a while.

"Qingfeng" is their flagship game from Changkong Games, and it is also an RPG game. Three years ago, it achieved sales of 3.7 million, so this time the investment in "Qingfeng 2" exceeded 200 million Huaxia coins.

The price has also reached the price point of 278 yuan. It can be said that Changkong Game has put all its efforts into it.

It will be released on March 16th, and its most direct competitor is "The Legend of Lao Bai Qun Xia 2".

Therefore, as soon as this game was released, Changkong Games immediately bought several copies, allowing several testers to start high-intensity testing. It was not the kind of game played by ordinary players, but a comprehensive evaluation of the game.

The results of the evaluation did not seem to be so comfortable, so after seeing the hesitation on Wang Li's face, Weng Kaishan was heartbroken and immediately asked: "What's the matter? Hurry up and tell me!"

"Mr. Weng, there is a big gap between us."

After taking a deep breath, Wang Li gritted his teeth and said: "It would be fine if there were only differences in graphics, modeling, soundtrack and styling. After all, we all know that it is caused by the huge gap in investment, but... Lao Bai

The open world of the studio is obviously more mature, and in terms of gameplay, it is also much more complete than our "Qingfeng 2"!"

While saying these words, a look of helplessness flashed in Wang Li's eyes.

As the producer of "Qingfeng 2", he really wants to prove his strength and tell the world that fame is not important, but the game he makes is important!

However……

After watching the newly released "Lao Bai Qun Xia Zhuan 2", Wang Li was really a little desperate.

How can this be compared to "Qingfeng 2"?

Even if the funding is doubled, Wang Li and Changkong cannot make a game of this level unless it is increased four to five times... No, even if the production cost is increased to one billion, they do not have enough manpower.

To make it with experience, you must spend a long time exploring and making progress!

So after saying the previous words, Wang Li finally remembered those rumors in the industry.

Laobai Studio has always been the target of mixed praise and praise in the gaming circle: they are praised naturally because they can make good games. Their pioneering work "Laobai Heroes 1" has directly reached the top level of Chinese RPG games.

It’s not bad at all compared to those well-known IPs; and the most criticized thing is naturally their way of taking money when it’s not money!

"The Legend of Lao Bai Qun Xia 1" cost hundreds of millions to invest in it.

Moreover, after the game was finished, it was still not satisfied. It invested heavily in building a martial arts game engine, and frantically poached people at home and abroad. A game company now has more than a thousand employees!

You know, they are just making one or two games.

The average RPG game team only has a few dozen people, and it takes several years to make a game, but only Laobai Studio needs a team of hundreds of people to make a game, plus an outsourcing team of thousands of people. In just a short time

A 3A masterpiece-level work can be produced in two or three years.

This kind of luxurious handwriting is unparalleled in China.

And what Wang Li also knows is that the game elites in Lao Bai Studio can't be gathered by high salaries alone, but by time, ideas, and the courage of Lao Bai to make games!

To put it bluntly, it is a waste of money that lasts for many years!

This is what makes the domestic game circle the most criticized, because Mr. Bai has money to spend. After all, how many games can he make in a year just from royalties? But other game companies first consider survival. How is this possible?

Taking such a big risk?

So when the boss Weng Kaishan expressed doubts about his words, Wang Li spread his hands and said calmly: "Mr. Weng, let's not talk about anything else. Do you know how big Luoyang City is in the game? It's our Qingyue

Twenty-six times the city...twenty-six times!"

"What? Twenty-six times?"

After listening to his words, Weng Kaishan was also stunned and said quickly: "According to you, their map is so big, and the models of characters and buildings are so exquisite... Doesn't it mean that they have high requirements for optimization?"

"Yes, the optimization of "The Legend of Laobai Qunxia 2" is very good."

Wang Li nodded and said with a wry smile: "I heard that they have a team of more than forty people, at least half of whom were recruited from overseas and are responsible for optimizing the game... But it is also a team of at least several hundred people.

, it is only natural that there is a group of people responsible for optimization.”

"this……"

After listening to Wang Li's explanation, boss Weng Kaishan's face darkened instantly.

Their company's games are actually pretty good, but they have a mediocre reputation among players. One of the important reasons is that the optimization is poor! No matter how awesome your graphics card is, it won't work well in the game.

Therefore, Wang Li's words quite meant to slap him in the face.

Of course everyone knows the reasons. On the one hand, it is the lack of personnel capabilities, and on the other hand, of course, it is due to cost pressure. If you have money, if you spend more time and manpower, optimization will naturally be much better, right?

So after a long silence, Weng Kaishan sighed: "Wang Li, you said... did the production cost of "The Legend of Laobai Qunxia 2" really exceed one billion?"

"……have no idea."

After being silent for a moment, the Internet shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Although my reason tells me that it is unrealistic to invest so much money in a domestic RPG, but when it comes to Teacher Lao Bai, no one dares to say that it is impossible..."
