Chapter 327

"You mean to set up an end game R & D project team with nearly 200 people?" Zheng Siwen asked Fang Zhe in some confusion in the president's office of Yanjing Huizhong headquarters.

"Yes, you should have played the American version of the hero League game. How do you feel?" Fang zhe looked at him and asked.

"OK, I'm not interested in this kind of game, but it's really fun. Are you worried that this game will catch fire in China?" Zheng Siwen quickly guessed Fang Zhe's mind.

Fang zhe said reluctantly, "we communicated with the fist three times, and the other party has been unwilling to sell us the Chinese agency right of the hero alliance. After knowing this, Tencent took strict precautions against us.

Now the version of DOTA games on the market is too old to keep up with the times. You don't know the snail speed of valve developing dota2. After the public test of hero League next year, I'm afraid it's difficult for games to compete with it in the domestic market! "

While Fang zhe was talking, he thought of the terrible data of the hero alliance in previous lives. At the peak, the number of global monthly active players exceeded 100 million, and the number of daily active players was nearly 30 million. The highest number of online players of national service alone was nearly 10 million!

More importantly, the game has been slowly popular since the overseas public beta in 2009 and after the domestic public beta in 11 years. It has been the hottest end game in the world for seven years until 2018 before Fang Zhe's rebirth. It was not until a game called Jedi survival came out that its popularity changed from prosperity to decline.

"When G Pang came to China two days ago, we also communicated with them, hoping to speed up the development progress of anti-terrorism elite and dota2, but these two games are their games after all. Although we are anxious, we can't intervene too much!" Zheng Siwen took Fang Zhe's words.

Fang zhe nodded and said, "yes, that's why I thought we should set up an end game project and develop a game that should be enough to compete with the hero League!"

Then, Fang zhe simply told Zheng Siwen about the playing method of Jedi survival. This game is essentially an FPS shooting game, but because the playing mode is very different from the traditional FPS games on the market, it has become popular in previous lives!

At that time, the Jedi survival and landing of the end game version steam overseas version was very inconvenient for domestic players. Even so, it also had nearly 10 million players in China, and the highest number of Chinese online people alone exceeded 3 million!

The absolute survival game "wilderness action" of Netease's mobile game version has more than 20 million registered users in just three months after the public test. Its popularity is far better than any previous end game. On the mobile game, only the king's glory, which is MoBa type with the hero alliance, can compete with it.

Zheng Siwen listens to Fang Zhe's play of Jedi survival. Even if he doesn't play games very much, he is also attracted by Fang Zhe's play of games. 100 people can only survive one or a team. This survival competitive game tests the oldest instinct of mankind. Survival. Therefore, this kind of game has an extremely strong attraction to most people.

"I still feel that we are not suitable for developing this game. If we are both a referee and an athlete, we will inevitably be questioned by other partners about our fairness!"

Zheng Siwen expressed his concern that steam China, as a game platform, the operator behind it, Huizhong, has acted as a referee. If Huizhong also develops end-to-end games, it will be an athlete again.

"I've thought about this for a long time, but don't worry too much. The game industry is different from other industries. Each game has different themes and has its own attraction. We do FPS games and won't compete with most game types on the platform.

Besides, even if they are FPS games, the selling points of other games are also different. Valve operates the steam platform overseas and is constantly developing new games. As long as we can be a good judge and be fair, they will not say much even if they have ideas!

Fang zhe gave Zheng Siwen an explanation. However, Fang zhe actually agrees with Zheng Siwen's words. In principle, after the establishment of steam China, Huizhong as the referee is really not suitable for developing end games. Fang zhe just said that he would make FPS games and would not compete with other games. In fact, it is half true and half false.

If Huizhong developed those traditional FPS games in the past, their selling points are limited, and they really won't have much competition with other games, but this is Jedi survival and eating chicken! In the previous life, it spent three months accumulating 20 million users in China, and its magic can be seen!

These huge user groups naturally come from CF, hero League and various other games. As long as the attraction of their games is not as good as eating chicken, players may be attracted by this game. Whether domestic games on the market or games on steam platform, they can't escape this fate!

However, Fang zhe still decided to lie without blushing and jumping. He insisted on gathering people to be Jedi to survive without him. This game was too popular in previous lives. The only game in China that can stabilize its head, that is, the hero league that has been popular for several years before it.

Other games such as CF, dota2 and watchman pioneer are far less popular than these two national games. Therefore, Fang zhe needs to firmly grasp this game in Huizhong's hands, whether from the perspective of occupying the market or making profits.

Previously, the "Panlong" end game, the "devil's land" page game and various page games developed by Huizhong in cooperation with Netdragon just laid the development experience and technical foundation for Huizhong to develop the "Jedi survival" end game.

Of course, it doesn't matter if Huizhong has insufficient experience and slight defects. Now Huizhong doesn't need money. Let alone from home, it's just a matter of spending more money to dig a group of top leaders in FPS research and development all over the world. The poor optimization of Jedi survival in the previous life can be made up for and solved now!

Fang Zhe and Zheng Siwen simply agreed to set up a separate game project team to develop Jedi survival. According to the plan, after the public beta of Panlong in August, most R & D personnel will join the new project and prepare to invest in the R & D of Jedi survival.

However, not many R & D personnel are required for the later development, update and maintenance of Panlong, which is also one of the R & D characteristics of the end game masterpiece. Re R & D before going online requires a large number of R & D personnel, and re operation after going online. Many R & D personnel can be transferred to other project teams.

When the time came into June, children's day, Fang Zhe and Feng Xue became a big "big children" in Happy Valley. In the early morning of June 2nd, they flew to Tokyo, Japan with several staff members of secretary Li Wen and overseas operations department.

Fang zhe came here to attend a celebration banquet, a mobile game "Zhilong fan city" developed by a mobile game studio wholly invested by Huizhong in Japan. The total number of players exceeded one million!
