"It is not easy to publish such a game in China, right? Moreover, if you invest so much in stand-alone games, it is not nice to say that domestic games will definitely lose money."

Zhou Shuo frowned. Although he didn't know much about the game industry, he was still half a game player. He still knew what the domestic game market looked like. In fact, there were a few good games in China after 2000, such as "The Three Kingdoms", "The Legend of the Swords", and "Qin Shang". Of course, there is no need to mention the works of Xishanju, as the quality is guaranteed.

As for "Bloody Battle in Shanghai" and "Mine War", everyone has their own opinions...

But there are so many fine products, but not much money actually makes. Why? It’s not because of pirated games. The game is well done, but it is better to beat pirated games. As a result, pirated games not only did not stop the invasion of foreign game culture, but instead made domestic stand-alone games completely dead.

After saying so much, the conclusion is that Zhou Shuo is not optimistic about making stand-alone games in China. If he really wants to do it, he thinks at least he should do it with the mentality of making online games. For example, the relationship between Warcraft and World of Warcraft, otherwise if he simply makes stand-alone games, he will lose nine out of ten!

For example, the team of "Sword and Magic" doesn't believe in evil. After developing the first generation, they didn't sell well, and they thought the game quality was not good. As a result, they sold it to the second generation. In foreign countries, they even thought it could be a game comparable to Diablo. As a result, they only bought tens of thousands of copies in China. They finally realized that it was not that we can't do it, but that pirated copies were good! At this point, they changed their careers and finally made their way.

So the Chinese stand-alone game industry is not enough to have dreams and enthusiasm.

"Mr. Zhou. I thought that we can make this game into a battle-type online game!" Zhang Yida exclaimed that he was not bad: "For such a battle-type online game, we can set up maps through the server. If the user is stand-alone, he can only use a limited number of maps and equipment to play more maps and equipment online..."

"Hey, this is also a way!" Zhou Shuo looked at Zhang Yida in surprise and nodded, "It's not bad, this idea is good."

What Zhang Yida said is a bit like the strategy of Blizzard in StarCraft 2 and Big Pineapple 3 in later generations. To put it bluntly, it is to play stand-alone players online. However, there is still a little difficulty here, that is, the payment habits of Chinese people. Playing stand-alone players online is after the Chinese people formed the consumption habit of playing games. Before that, there were both pure online games and Taobao to develop the market and Taobao cultivates people's habit of spending money online, which led to the success of this strategy.

Games like Lulu, dnf, and even kart Bubble Hall may all provide potential help to this mode. In short, the two games of Blizzard can be successful in China, and there are too many factors that combine here, and it may not be effective until now.

"But it's still an inappropriate idea." Zhou Shuo didn't wait for Zhang Yida to smile and then added a knife to him: "Did you forget the current Internet speed in China? A battle map costs at least tens of millions. If you really set up a server through network combat, then how much bandwidth does this map call require? As for putting the map locally, it would be even more stupid. It would definitely be cracked by someone to crack the networking program, and the local area network plug-ins are flying all over the sky. Don't underestimate the domestic technology and the "conscience" of domestic programmers."

"Ah. This..."

Zhang Yida has no words anymore, yes, as the saying goes, the devil is one foot taller. Who can guarantee that the content placed locally will not be cracked? In the past few years and decades, maybe this mode can be achieved if the Internet speed is fast. But in the era of average download speed of several k, this is just a dream.

"Although it is not profitable for the time being, I think this project can still be done." Zhou Shuo patted Zhang Yida's shoulder and smiled: "We have a gap with foreign countries for the time being, but we must not give up just like that. It is the worst way to make games directly, but if you have a business, you can work hard, which is the game engine you mentioned."

The so-called game engine is the absolute core content of the game. It controls the rendering, physics, collision, scripting, artificial intelligence and network functions of the game, and is the brain and heart of the game. During the game production process, it is impossible for most games to write game engines from scratch, but to buy mature engines from game engine developers.

Whether it is the Stone Age or the CSS, they are actually engines developed by other companies. If they are written over again, the production cost must increase tenfold.

"To create an excellent game engine, Mr. Wang can customize a TouchD for the money, which is specially used for military training. This engine can also be used to make other games, which can be sold to domestic companies and foreign game studios. In the future, when the Internet speed is faster, everyone will be aware of paying. It is not too late to make the online battle game you mentioned."

Zhang Yida thought about it and said that the game company and the game engine company are considered peers, but the content produced is completely different. Does the team he has the ability to make game engines?

Making a game engine is not an easy task. For example, the world-renowned game engine company Yingpei Games is famous for its unique Unreal Engine. This company with only 140 people has achieved revenue of hundreds of millions of dollars per year by making "game-making software". Just this team of 140 people is equivalent to Oracle's position in the entire PC software industry.

Is Yingpei Game not wanting to expand its team? I'm afraid it's not. But even with Yingpei's strength, he can only gather a team of 140 people.

Of course, this Unreal Engine is on x-wave x, and there is also the origin engine of PC games, followed by EA's frost engine and iW's endless engine...

These American game masterpieces are almost built on huge and exciting engines.

But if it were China, how many such talents could be found?

"Mr. Zhou, this..." Zhang Yida hesitated. He really didn't have the confidence to do this project. The game engine is different from the game engine. The engine of Legend of Sword and Fairy is definitely more complicated than the engine of Lianlian. This has nothing to do with the times, but is determined by the type of game.

If you make an engine comparable to the Delta Force - of course, there is no Delta Force game yet, but this will not affect Zhang Yida's awareness of the difficulty.

As soon as he thinks about how difficult this is, he feels a little upset. It’s not that he is afraid of smashing his signature, but that he cares too much about this hard-earned opportunity. Thinking about developing a game engine, it will take at least 10 million US dollars. If this investment is broken, can China have another big investor like Zhou Shuo?

Zhang Yida felt that there was a lot of pressure on his shoulders, so he could hardly afford to fail.

"Okay, let's do our best!" Zhang Yida thought about it and then hesitated, and finally nodded: "It's just that we need a talent in the operating system, which is all-round in the field of software technology! To be honest, the game works before Fanhan Interactive Entertainment were actually average. If you want to make a game engine, you can't only have game production talents, but you need higher-level technical talents."

After Zhang Yida said this, a name suddenly popped up in Zhou Shuo's mind - Chen Feizhou. Since he dug Qiu Jun and Lei Jun to the name of Fanhan Group early, the famous Kingsoft Software, which was in his previous life, has now disappeared. And the famous Xishanju in the famous Kingsoft Software has now become "Fanhan Interactive Entertainment".

So when Zhang Yida talked about talent, this former vice president of Kingsoft, Xishanju Cto, naturally came into his sight. He is not only a good game player, but also a master of system architecture. He is not only responsible for Kingsoft Antivirus's antivirus engine, but also the designer of Kingsoft Antivirus's antivirus interface.

Do you still remember the little lion of Kingsoft Antivirus? It was his work. Every time I think of someone who specializes in the future to extract the little lion and make it a desktop pet, but throw it away the Kingsoft Antivirus, Zhou Shuo can't help laughing.

I just don’t know where Chen Feizhou has been wandering now.

"Let me do this, I'll give you a name. Huaqiao University, Chen Feizhou."

Zhou Shuo wrote these two names on a piece of paper and pushed them to Zhang Yida: "If you can find this person, you can see if he meets your requirements."

There are too many precedents to follow for talents who can be noticed by Zhou Shuo. Zhang Yida carefully put away the note.

Wang Erlei next to him looked at him and nodded cautiously, "I am good at finding someone. Don't worry, Mr. Zhou. Even if this kid is a wanted criminal, I will definitely find him!"

"Haha, okay, let's do it today." Zhou Shuo waved his hand and stood up.

His current job is with his girlfriend shopping. The best result in games, and no result is not too big. For industries like this, China's economic status has improved and it will only be a long time to prosper - if, well, no one insists on turning all the game characters into big heads.

When Zhou Shuo walked out of the server room, he suddenly heard footsteps. Wang Qinian, the security captain who was supposed to be following in the distance, was following Dongfang Ke who was rushing over behind him.
