Chapter 286: Chapter 285 model
Although they were all being subtle, Chen Zhao knew what they were worried about.
Originally, the distribution channels in the country were the two major gaming platforms, Emperor dynasty and divine fantasy. The other smaller platforms could live freely in the cracks.
Distributors were in a dominant position and had a stronger bargaining power, while independent video game designers were at a disadvantage. It was a bit like they were being exploited, but it was still within control.
However, Chen Mo’s Thunderbolt gaming platform had broken the rules of the distributors, and was basically declaring war on all the distributors in China.
This would lead to the accelerated integration of domestic game channels.
The collaboration between Emperor dynasty and divine fantasy was a clear signal. They felt threatened, so they took the time to consolidate their distribution channels and resources, trying to stabilize their strong position as distributors.
Even though this move was targeted at Thunderbolt gaming platform, the designers would be affected as well.
If Thunderbolt gaming platform crumbled or compromised, then there would be an Alliance of distributors in the country. It would be equivalent to the two major distributors of Emperor dynasty and divine fantasy combining, and their power would be unprecedented.
How much bargaining power would the designers have left then?
He was afraid that his life would be even more miserable than before.
…
Of course, there was the possibility of Thunderbolt gaming platform unifying the domestic distribution channels, but that possibility was minuscule and impossible at the moment.
These video game designers all felt threatened, but the distributors ‘war was like a fight between G.o.ds to them. They couldn’t get involved at all, which was why they tried to be friendly with Chen Mo.
After all, compared to those high and mighty distributors, Chen Mo was more trustworthy.
Thunderbolt gaming supported Chen Mo,”don’t think too much about it. The future for independent video game designers will only get better and better. The current state of ‘distribution channels being King’ in China is not a healthy state. It’ll change sooner or later.”
“When I first started Thunderbolt gaming platform, I didn’t want to be controlled by others. After all, everyone knows how annoying it is for distributors to keep interfering with the development.
“So don’t worry, everyone. Just focus on making the indie game. Emperor dynasty and divine fantasy won’t be able to cause any trouble.”
[Group leader] Zhang xiaokong, the referee of the Three Kingdoms of G.o.dsfall: “Sure, boss. We’re relieved to hear that.”
Zhu fanglin: “that’s amazing! 666!”
The wings of star elves supported Li Feng, awesome!
A wave of ” 666″ appeared in the group. Although these people weren’t familiar with Chen Mo, they liked his att.i.tude. At least for now, these designers were on the same side as Chen Mo, fighting against the distributors that monopolized the domestic market.
“By the way, did you know, Chen Mo? Emperor dynasty entertainment and fantasy gaming platform are having an internal discussion. They’re going to release a dominating game to prove the strength of their new distribution channel.”
Thunderbolt gaming’s referee Chen Mo replied,”not really.”
Lin hailing, the nightmare tapir, said,’Li Feng, you’re indeed our intelligence officer. You even know this?’ Quickly tell me in detail. ”
The wings of star elves supported Li Feng-“sigh, after all, I’m a failed designer who likes to collect gossip in the industry when I have nothing to do. – I heard from Emperor dynasty that they’re planning to create a game internally and compete with each other. In the end, they’ll release one or two games and put them up for all channels to promote, creating a true national level game. ”
[Administrator] hengyou network’s Deputy Qiu Hengyang: “They’re trying to show off. They want to show us how powerful the full-channel promotion is.”
[Group leader] Zhang xiaokong, the referee of the Three Kingdoms of G.o.dsfall: “It’s not just that. Think about it, if this game is really made by them, they’ll definitely split more player resources. With one losing and the other growing, this large channel will become very terrifying. ”
“I’m a little curious, what kind of game are they planning to make?”Zhu fanglin asked.
The wings of star elves supported Li Feng.”I don’t know. They will definitely try to keep this kind of information confidential. Unless they deliberately release it, it will be difficult to find out the details.”
[Administrator] hengyou network’s Deputy Qiu Hengyang: “Actually, there are only a few popular game genres. If we’re talking about the number of players, it’s still mmorpgs and FPS games.”
[Group leader] Zhang xiaokong, the referee of the Three Kingdoms of G.o.dsfall: “Right, we’ll definitely make an RPG game.”
“I heard that Emperor dynasty is interested in acting as COG’s proxy. -Don’t know if it’s true.”
[Group leader] Zhang xiaokong, the referee of the Three Kingdoms of G.o.dsfall: “It’s probably just a small interlude. Currently, COG is still too niche, and no one can say for sure what will happen before the finished game is out. I think it’s nothing more than a setup of Emperor dynasty, just like buying the lottery. ”
The group started to discuss what kind of game Emperor dynasty and divine fantasy wanted to make, and the conversation slowly drifted off to the topic of ‘is MMORPG a game that can be surpa.s.sed’.
Chen Zhao went silent.
……
In the studio, Qian Kun was testing the new game prototype.
Summoner’s Rift only revealed a small part of the blue team’s base, and the art resources were all reused from Warcraft and Diablo. Even though the art quality was high, the overall art style was extremely chaotic, so it looked strange.
Qian Kun right-clicked on the empty s.p.a.ce, and a barbarian walked to the spot he clicked on.
This barbarian was actually created by the power of Demacia. However, because there was no model of Galen at the moment, he had replaced it with a barbarian model.
Through the editor, Qian Kun placed a new enemy hero in front of garen, a Teemo.
Of course, this Teemo wasn’t an official model. It was the King of the Hills from Warcraft.
This Teemo, who looked exactly like the King of the Hills, was set to have 100000 HP, and it stood still. Qian Kun clicked on QWER, and a set of damage was dealt to Teemo, observing the effect of the attack.
A ‘silence’ icon floated out. The special effect of the big treasure sword in the last big move had not yet been activated, but it had already had a shock effect.
There was no problem with the damage value and the skill mechanism.
Qian Kun looked at Chen Mo,””Manager, it’s okay. The prototype of the game should be more stable now. I’ll try a few more complicated heroes. ”
Chen Mo nodded,”okay.” The main thing was that the judgment rules for the various complicated States had to be done perfectly. There’s also the skill trajectories and effects, hero movements, and so on. We must improve on them. ”
“Don’t worry,” said Qian Kun,”Warcraft and Diablo have similar combat mechanisms. It’s just more complicated this time. It won’t be a problem.”
Chen Mo patted Qian Kun’s shoulder and continued to look at the art work.
He was very confident in Qian Kun. Although Qian Kun was always thinking about how to cheat players of their in-game purchases, he was very experienced in numbers, levels, and combat systems. He was also very careful and rarely made mistakes.
