The independent game version and the World of Warcraft map version can be produced at the same time, especially the latter can be used as a trial version to test the players' response, and can also be used as a warm-up for the new game.
Anyway, with Hao Yun's programming level, it can even take less than a day to complete the entire script. In addition, the latter can directly use Warcraft materials, so the development difficulty will be much lower than developing independent games.
While Hao Yun was busy developing DOTA, Xu Qianshi finally noticed the sales of "Operation Counter-Terrorism: Siege" and the public opinion storm that permeated the Internet.
To be honest, the reason why it took him two days to understand the situation was not because he didn't pay attention to the project, but because as the CEO of Da Mi Entertainment, there were too many things that he needed to pay attention to.
The entire game development business can only be regarded as a layout of DaMi Group in the field of electronic entertainment. In addition, there are a series of equally important businesses that require his energy to take care of.
With his right-hand man Wang Fa watching over him, he originally thought nothing would happen.
"How come the sales are so low?"
Faced with Xu Qianshi's question, Wang Fa sighed deeply and said.
"The reasons for this are very complicated. On the one hand, there is a lack of integration between our development team and the business personnel sent by Yunmeng Games. On the other hand, it may be because our own capabilities cannot keep up with their pace."
Wang Fa was very smart. He did not rush to blame Yunmeng Games from the beginning. Instead, he reviewed his own mistakes first.
Sure enough, after listening to his review, Xu Qianshi pondered for a long time and then spoke.
"It's okay. You don't have to blame yourself too much. This matter is not entirely your problem. I heard someone say that the salesperson sent by Yunmeng Group did not do anything... This matter is true. ?"
"I don't know the specific situation, but as far as I know from the head of ALX Studio... the designer sent from Yunmeng Games seems to have quite different creative concepts with them, so that many of the original designers The elements that were planned to be developed have been cut off in the official version.”
After hearing Wang Fa's explanation, Xu Qianshi was silent for a long time and finally sighed.
"As expected... I believe in him too much."
After all, the two parties are competitors, and they may cooperate with them for the sake of profit, but it cannot be ruled out that the other party may cause obstacles. What Xu Qianshi didn't expect was that this Hao Yun was so short-sighted.
They could obviously jointly develop the e-sports cake, and even promised to transfer 50% of the profits to them. But in the end, what he wanted was to eat the entire cake alone.
"Actually, there is nothing wrong with Yunmeng Games doing this. It is because we have relaxed our vigilance and the management of our studios is not adequate... I also made a big mistake in my work in this matter. I am willing to work for myself." Bear the consequences of your mistakes and accept the company’s punishment.”
"Let's not talk about punishment or not for now," Xu Qianshi interrupted him and said solemnly, "You are in charge of the development of a new project now, right? I want to know how the progress is?"
Fortunately, he made two preparations at that time, allowing the product department to assist Yunmeng Games in developing "Operation Counter-Terrorism: Siege" and at the same time develop another online game focusing on competitive confrontation.
The release of Counter-Strike: Siege is currently on the back burner, but as long as the game in development is a success, their loss won't be too tragic.
Hearing that Mr. Xu did not hold him accountable, Wang Fa's face flashed with subtle joy, and he lowered his head and continued.
"Now the development has entered the final stage, and the model has basically been designed. Once we solve the authorization issue, we can basically enter the publicity and distribution phase."
"Authorization issue?" Xu Qianshi frowned, "It's almost the announcement stage, haven't you even solved the most critical authorization issue?"
As if he had guessed that President Xu would ask this question, Wang Fa had a bright smile on his face and continued.
"The licensing issue is actually not as critical as you think. First of all, the game we created uses the 'Chenghai 3C' IP, and the copyright information itself is not particularly clear."
"It would be best if the map creator plans to license it to us. We can use the creator's authorization to promote it. If he doesn't plan to authorize it, it won't actually have any impact. When we designed this game, we adopted an independent approach. The model has nothing to do with Warcraft or a certain RPG map under Warcraft."
Wang Fa's calculations were very loud.
First of all, although Chenghai 3C is well-known among the World of Warcraft players, it can only be regarded as a game map made by an individual. It is not a registered and published game, so it is not suitable for full protection of electronic game versions in the traditional sense. Law.
Secondly, the Chenghai Alliance he developed is just a sidestep on the word "Chenghai". The game content is still quite different from the original RPG map. The explanation can also be explained by coincidence and " "Chenghai is just a place name and does not have copyright attributes" to excuse the past.
As for prosecution…
Ha ha.
The legal department of DaMi Group is not a vegetarian either.
If there was a legal dispute with other giants, he might reconsider it, but if he was just an ordinary person, he would not panic at all, and he might be able to use the rhythm to reverse market.
Although Xu Qianshi felt something was wrong in his heart, he felt relieved when he saw Wang Fa's confident look. Regardless of other aspects, he still has great trust in the ability of this capable general.
More than a dozen hit games previously developed by Rice Entertainment were all completed by him. It's just that the game industry has been deeply involved in the past two years. Players of old-themed games are tired of playing them. New themes cannot be developed, and everyone's life is not easy.
Under such circumstances, it is already quite good to still ensure that performance does not decline.
"How long will it take for it to be online? Is there a demo version?" Xu Qianshi continued to ask.
Wang Fa said with a confident smile on his face.
"The official version may have to wait another two weeks, but the demo version has already been made! When we were planning and operating, we had already sent the trial samples needed for promotional activities to our partners, and we will soon be able to share them with players. Let’s meet. If you are interested, I can take you to see it.”
"No need, I believe in your ability," Xu Qianshi nodded, with an expression of approval on his face, "We have already lost one game in "Operation Counter-Terrorism: Siege", and this time we relied entirely on ourselves. Strength… I hope you can bring me good news.”
Wang Fa puffed up his chest confidently and said.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xu, this time we have concentrated the R&D efforts of the entire product department. I assure you that there will never be any surprises!"
Just as Wang Fa swore a poisonous oath to Xu Qianshi, Zhang Xiang, who was also in Shanghai City, finally received a package from the brand.
The package was about the size of three palms, with several seals wrapped around it.
Without rushing to open the package, Zhang Xiang first calmly placed the stand for the live broadcast, then put the mobile phone on it, and then pressed the button to start the live broadcast.
In less than two seconds, thousands of people flooded into the live broadcast room.
Although there are not many people in the live broadcast room to give rewards, there will definitely be no shortage of viewers every time he starts broadcasting.
He showed his trademark half-hearted smile to the screen and spoke with a red face.
"Hello, my dear audience friends, it's time for your Brother Xiang to go on air again. Are you happy?"
