Inside the conference room of NetDragon Games.

In the temporary conference room, Ma Lei squinted his eyes and looked at a data report in front of him.

The above is the data counted on the game market recently.

Among them, the top one is Nebula Games' "League of Legends". The specific overseas data has not been counted, but it can be clearly seen from the major mainstream game forums and communities that there are quite a few players.

Moreover, even if we put aside the overseas channels alone, the performance of "League of Legends" is shocking enough.

The maximum number of online users is 3 million at the same time, the average player time is 6 hours, and the total number of players has reached 10 million in seven days. This data is not a record-breaking data, but as a new IP game, it is not a traditional mm-large game.

Instead, it tends to be a game that is low-cost, which is obviously a bit incredible.

Although this is a free online game, unlike traditional online games, this is still a competitive online game.

As a competitive online game, FPS-type games can bring the most intuitive pleasure to novices, that is, shooting.

Even if the gun is not against others, I use the gun to shoot glass, flower pots, and even kill chickens running back and forth on the map, and constantly fire heavy machine guns with the most bullets on a wooden board at a point, which can bring a sense of game participation.

What about the participation of novice players in "League of Legends" that prefers RTS?

If you cannot kill the enemy, kill the soldiers? Get the money and then use the money to pay the equipment to kill the soldiers more efficiently?

Due to his identity, Ma Lei has not made personal attempts about "League of Legends", but he only learned some information from relevant channels, but the potential shown in "League of Legends" is enough to be valued.

Although judging from the current player evaluation, the game "League of Legends" can only be regarded as a masterpiece, not a masterpiece.

But from a commercial perspective, this game is definitely a hit.

Even though the profit flow of "League of Legends" is not high according to statistics, the potential is there.

With so many players in the early stage, coupled with the lack of reputation for collapse, and the characteristics of the competitive *** itself, this will definitely become a money tree for a game manufacturer.

Previously, many domestic game manufacturers were imitating Dota and launching similar games, but this was lukewarm, which led to few people paying attention to this type of game.

But now it seems that this is a big gold mine.

It is a gold mine that is different from mm and FPS and racing, and casual games like casual.

Moreover, Nebula Games has a very clear goal in this area. The skin linkage of "Second Wolf: Shadow Fall Two", "Warcraft", "Metal Equipment: Phantom Pain" and other games has greatly enhanced the players' consumption.

In addition, the subsequent e-sportsization is definitely very easy to do. Even if this is a game that tends to be lightly entertained, it also has competitive elements.

Moreover, in the middle and late stages of the game life, you can completely abandon entertainment and completely transform into competition.

This just requires the designer to make changes to the hero and game mechanics.

At the same time, it is not just "League of Legends", but Yang Chen also mentioned the independence of "Dota" and "The True Three Kingdoms" when announcing the project "League of Legends", which made Ma Lei feel the other party's ambitions.

This is to drive away the path of latecomers!

Dota’s imitation game is basically not something you like, but it uses dota’s game mechanism and hero skills. However, its own skin is martial arts and historical themes. Among them, the Three Kingdoms is the most important theme, after all, it is well-known.

Of course, there are many fairy tales, such as Journey to the West.

The operation of Nebula Games obviously has only one purpose, that is, to circle the market.

Players who cannot accept the dota gameplay tend to be light in "League of Legends" and like hardcore competitive dota.

Players who are interested in domestic cultural skins will be trapped in "The True Three Kingdoms".

This is one link after another!

Thinking of this, Ma Lei couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"What do you think of "League of Legends" in Nebula Games?" Yang Chen said to a group of people in the conference room.

In addition to the project team that is developing the latest open world 3a masterpiece inside NetDragon, the remaining first-line game designers inside NetDragon have basically expired, among which Zhang Yida is in the first place.

"There is no doubt that this is a brand new type of game. In fact, it is essentially the style of RTS, but unlike traditional RTS, this type of game is simpler. Economic accumulation does not require boring mining, but is divided into two teams of Chu-Han River Realm like chess through a final effort. Players do not have to operate a large number of military buildings. They only need to manipulate a hero character to fight against each other." As a top designer in the game circle, although there is really no outstanding work in recent years, Zhang Yida is definitely a top presence in his understanding of the game and his knowledge reserves.

Faced with the Nebula Games "League of Legends", Zhang Yida still has a lot of in-depth understanding. He even thinks that after this type of game is launched, RTS will probably become a niche game that cannot be used in niche games.

In fact, the original RTS is already niche enough, but Nebula Game uses a "Red Alert" and a "Warcraft" to tell the industry that RTS can do this.

However, the launch of a game like "League of Legends" made him completely realize that everyone ignored the speciality of his gameplay in "Warcraft". Until "League of Legends" made it more light and entertaining than dota, everyone realized that this type of game was different.

"What do you think of similar games?" Hearing Zhang Yida's words, Ma Lei nodded without saying anything, pausing and speaking.

"It's hard to surpass Nebula Games. League of Legends has been launched. If there is only one League of Legends, you can actually dig deep into heavy core players. Moreover, this is a large market. Compared with mild players, this type of player is more loyal. Although the share may not be that large, Nebula Games' Dota has been launched. If you want to do it, at least we have to have a clear division with "Dota" and "League of Legends" leagues. After all... we are Net Dragons." Zhang Yida shook his head slightly and said.

There are "League of Legends" and "Dota" that has obviously been launched and under development. The other party also has a "True Three Kingdoms Invincible" that focuses on the domestic market.

In order to gain popularity, some small factories can copy the hero equipment directly, and go online without changing anything.

But they are NetDragons, and they are not impossible to do this, but the risk is too great.

Especially in recent years, after collaborating with Nebula Games' "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", many consecutive 3A masterpieces have regained a lot of reputation.

If you are doing this now, don’t expect word of mouth, and the most important thing is that this may not necessarily lead to much profit and income.

If you can really make money, then just be scolded by players. Just give a good financial report every quarter.

But if the benefits are not enough, the reputation will be bad. Isn’t this something that only a fool can do?

They are not the kind of game companies that are hopeless and have lost their money.

"Mr. Ma! I have an idea!"
