Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

The biggest source of money for game consoles has never been the console, but the games.

Because a game console is just like a VR device and a PC device.

It won't be replaced for a year or two, or even longer, after buying it.

And how much profit can a game console make?

But what about games?

As long as the life of the game console lasts, games can be played indefinitely.

Fengyun Games’ own first-party games, as well as third-party games that will be launched later.

There are always players who like it, right?

If you buy a game console, you can't possibly use it for collection instead of playing games, right?

When it comes to playing games, you can’t just play one game, right?

So let’s find out about other games?

You can't buy it and suffer a loss, you can't buy it and you can't be fooled.

If you don't buy more games, won't your machine suffer a big loss?

In the previous life, among the Yusan family, the only one that made money by selling game consoles was Nintendo.

As for Sony, the price basically matches the cost, 31 or even a loss.

That means selling a host and losing some money.

The reason is naturally to seize users.

For Chen Xu, losing money is not important, what is important is to spread the switch quickly.

Once there are players and users, it will only be a matter of time before they make money, and at that time they will make much more money than selling game consoles.

Chen Xu then continued to discuss the switch content with Zhang Jiaping before ending the meeting.

When leaving, Zhang Jiaping looked confused.

Because he couldn't figure out how to make money with this strategy of losing 150 on selling a game console.

After Zhang Jiaping left, Qin Yi, Chen Qingzhu and others gathered around Chen Xu in the Fengyun Games conference room with curious expressions on their faces.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, do we really want to make a handheld console?"

"So are our next games going to be adapted for handheld consoles?"

Everyone asked curiously

"Well, that's true, and some games will be exclusive to handheld consoles."Chen Xu nodded slightly and said with a smile.

If the handheld design of the switch is a gorgeous skin, then the games it carries are the shining soul.

A handheld console is also a game console.

And a game console is the most What is the important thing?

Of course it is games.

Without games, no matter how good or high the configuration of the handheld console is, it will not be able to impress players.

And when the time comes, the handheld console produced by Switch for Fengyun Games will naturally need to have some works First release escort.

At the same time, there cannot be only one.

A relatively large-scale masterpiece that can show the switchability.

Plus several slightly smaller games.

This is what the switch must have when it is released.

As for As for third-party game manufacturers, it is basically impossible to find one with any strength.

Therefore, Chen Xu will find more third-party game manufacturers and studios that have signed contracts with Fengyun Game Platform.

In the form of outsourcing , They are developing some small games, or porting them to the switch.

It can be considered as a head count.

In addition, there are some first-party games that are more suitable for the Switch Fengyun game, and they can also be ported. The larger games are temporarily No need to consider it.

However, small-scale games such as"Vitality Knight","Three Kingdoms" and"Under the Legend" are still more suitable.

Including games such as"Minecraft" that are more suitable for handheld platform operation, the same Transplantation can also be performed. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Let’s not talk about these things for now. During the meeting in the afternoon, I will focus on introducing to you the upcoming work arrangements."

"But next time, time will be tighter, and the work intensity will be higher than before."

Chen Xu looked at Qin Yi and Chen Qingzhu and took a precaution in advance.

Previously, Fengyun Games had not carried out simultaneous development by multiple studios.

The main reason was that the project was too large and it was more efficient to concentrate resources.

Otherwise How could the previous"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" be released faster than"Special Forces" even after the project was approved?

But now, some of the early games on the switch are not large in size.

So this It can be said that it is most suitable to divide the work at this time.

As for the next few games that the switch will be equipped with, Chen Xu also has some ideas in his heart.

At that time, it will be divided into three steps.

Experiential social type, viewing social type There are also exclusive games that are very attractive in their own right.

………………

In the conference room, almost everyone has arrived.

Several consecutive masterpieces, especially the epoch-making"GTA" and the hugely successful"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".

This makes everyone in the team extremely excited and proud.

At the same time, everyone is also speculating on what Chen Xu will do next.

And regarding the handheld business, will this be their focus next?

"OK, first of all, I believe everyone knows the latest situation."

"That's right, Fengyun Games will launch a revolutionary handheld console next"

"But a handheld console is still a game platform and a carrier, so the game aspect is very important."

"Different from the past, for the new 333 handheld console, we need to make some unique game adaptations to increase the attractiveness of the handheld console to players."

"I can let you all know that in the next period of time, we will not develop anything like《GTA》A large game of this size"

"Of course, this does not mean that we will not do anything. For the new handheld platform, we will develop several exclusive games."

"And some very unique games for platform promotion"

"Okay, now let’s take a look at the big screen. These will be the next few games we mainly develop."

"For the first two items, the main core content will be mainly handled by myself and Qin Yi."

"But for the other two models, there are Zhao Shan and Chen Qingzhu, and you two are divided into two teams for development."

"In addition, Jiang Bin and Pan Wei need to be responsible for porting and optimizing some old games to the handheld platform."

Chen Xu looked at everyone assigning various tasks.

When they entered the working state, everyone nodded with serious expressions.

Then the name of the project they needed to develop appeared on the big screen.

《Super Mario: Odyssey》

《Assemble! animal crossing》

《Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout》

《Among! US" (Who is the mole?).
