Chapter 145: The release date is determined

Yang Chen has not invested much attention after completing the corresponding GDD, because the development progress of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" has been completed most of the time.

The entire framework in the game has been built, and even the test version of the game has been completed.

Yang Chen's main energy is still to focus on the project "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".

But Nebula's own family knew that the game was coming to an end, but in the game circle, including players who have been looking forward to "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", were not aware of the progress of the game.

Especially before, Nebula Games suddenly announced that it would suspend "Nutnumber Travel World" and return and exchange for the money that players recharged, and then remake it.

This news made the players even more itchy.

Is it still a "Elder Scrolls: Skyrim"?

When will it be possible to play?

Faced with the expectations of players, Yang Chen and Xingyun Games have always maintained a silent attitude.

But privately, we are already discussing the release date of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".

The development progress is gratifying, including post-production, and it is enough for almost two months.

The rest is to determine the release date of the game, which is a very important thing to do with the promotion date.

But there is some trouble with the release date of the game.

"In August, September, and October, there are 3A-level masterpieces to be announced at home and abroad. The "King's Sword" launched by Phoenix, which is directly competitive with us, and Tenghua's "Fantasy" are all magical ARPGs. At the same time, overseas power storms have also brought an RPG-type game, which are very powerful opponents."

"In addition, although NetDragon has promised to fully publish and promote "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", their masterpiece "Shadow Legend" will be launched in July, and the resource tilt will definitely be more inclined to "Shadow Legend".

In the conference room, Xu Yu reported the main news to Yang Chen.

Choosing a suitable game release time is still very important for a game.

Even 3A-level games, or game manufacturers that have been famous for a long time, will not take it lightly.

Perhaps many players think that if the game is fun, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it. Even if it is not sold at the beginning, it will come from behind.

Most games respect this standard, but there will be exceptions.

It’s time to fate. There are always some games with excellent quality, both media ratings and player ratings, but at the same time, they chose the wrong release time and collided with some explosive games, and then the sales volume became bleak.

In that case, there are many players who are not playing games, but popularity.

However, this group of players are the main force in game consumption.

Especially games of 3A games, they rely on these main forces.

This is also why a game's sales in the first month of its release can even account for 70% of the total sales of the game, or even more.

Because the game is the most popular during this period and can attract popular players to buy it.

"Three choices, the first one is online in advance, and the game will be launched in mid-June; the second one is to choose to release the game at the end of October; the third is to directly compete with these games for one quality and one bayonet." Xu Yu said to Yang Chen.

In advance, postpone, or head-on competition.

After listening to Xu Yu's words, Yang Chen deleted the option of launching in advance without thinking.

It will be launched in mid-June, and the time left for them will be only one and a half months. The game will probably be completed at this time, but it is really too hasty.

Subsequent modifications, including bug checks and detailed corrections.

Such a little time is not enough.

"It's scheduled in August or September. I have enough confidence in the quality of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim". We cannot release a game in the future. We have to follow other people's schedules to arrange it." Yang Chen thought about it and said seriously.

In terms of the strength of publishers, NetDragon is one of the three major domestic ones.

In terms of the cost of the game, there is a real development cost of 350 million yuan.

In terms of development team, top outsourcing team, the three major self-developed capabilities are considered the strongest motion capture studio under NetDragon, as well as the technical team, as well as the up-and-coming Changan Studio and Lin Jiayi, the rising star in the gaming industry.

As well as the mature template reference in dream memory, Yang Chen thinks that such a lineup is not only the world's top-notch, but at least it is considered first-class.

Moreover, the games launched during August and September, "King's Sword" and "Fantasy" are also new IPs of Phoenix and Tenghua. Why can't "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" participate in this war?

"After confirmation, I will negotiate with NetDragon. If there is a subsequent change, we will have to bear the compensation for the liquidated damages and other things." Xu Yu looked at Yang Chen and reminded him.

"No problem, just settle it like this." Yang Chen nodded.

"Since this is the case, it is best to start more game hype from the near future. In May, Shanghai will have a game exhibition of not small size. The other party sent an invitation letter. Do we want to attend?" Xu Yu looked at Yang Chen and said.

Hearing Xu Yu's words, Yang Chen smiled: "In terms of publicity, the trailer is already being done. As for the exhibition, let's forget it. Anyway, if you really go there, you will be the same trailer as before."

…………

Time passes slowly,

Entering May, NetDragon officially launched promotion of its own game "Shadow Legend".

Including Tenghua and Phoenix, they also began to promote their "Fantasy" and "The King's Sword".

The developer's game production history interviews, interviews, and various media trials were praised in the professional news column.

At the same time, the official blog and official website released the original paintings in the game, and also announced some special gameplay and systems.

They are already preheating for the game to be launched soon.

Nebula Games and "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" still have nothing to do.

The only information channel that all players who are looking forward to "The Elder Scrolls: Sky" can get is Yang Chen's official blog.

But the usual information is how hard the staff worked. Today, the food in the cafeteria is not very delicious, and these irrelevant daily news are posted.

In short, the game is being made, but I won’t tell you what it is.

As for the game industry, it is still very concerned about the project "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".

After all, it was involved with NetDragon, and Nebula Games itself is also a dark horse in the industry. In addition, "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" itself has a very high development cost, so it can be said to be a strong opponent.

Tenghua and Phoenix are always paying close attention, but as the days end day by day, there has been no news on "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", and many people have started to discuss and guess.

Perhaps the development is in a bottleneck, or the development progress is not as fast as theirs?

Think about it, is this normal? After all, this can be said to be Yang Chen's first time in charge of a 3A-level project.

Just when everyone thought "The Elder Scrolls: Sky" should be the development progress was not high, at 1:00 a.m. on weekday night, Yang Chen secretly posted a message on the official blog.
Chapter completed!
