MTL - Game Designers: You Don’t Understand Charity-Chapter 1 A VR world without free games
"The Penguin platform recently launched the 'first domestic vr parkour game', and the number of players who bought it on the first day exceeded 700,000, setting a new record for single-player buyouts."
"Oh?"
"Penguin recently won the infringement case concerning the most popular vr online game 'Urban Simulator', and the complainant paid Penguin 300,000 in compensation."
"Ok?"
"The Penguin platform announced that the next step is to 'learn' from Hamiyou's work. The vr buyout game "Great Navigation Simulator" will start an internal test, and the registered players are already full."
"Grass!"
"Penguin platform announced a new 'breakthrough' in VR technology, the next step will be"
"Okay, okay, stop reading, you go out first."
Clutching his aching head, Yun Feng urged the colleague in front of him to leave, seemingly unwilling to listen.
Looked at Yun Feng with pity, thinking that it was because of the recent incidents that his spirit was a little unstable, so Lin Tian, who was in charge of the announcement, walked out of the office without saying a word.
Before leaving, he closed the door for Yunfeng.
"Ah~" Seeing that the door was closed, Yun Feng raised his head and let out a long sigh.
"Unexpectedly, I have really time-traveled."
He had to believe this, whether it was the advanced vr helmet placed on the desk, or the turbulent memory in the sea of consciousness, they all told Yunfeng.
He came to a world that was similar to Blue Star but completely different!
"I didn't expect that in this world, the penguin's name is still so famous." Yun Feng muttered, seeming a little uneasy.
"Could it be that there is some Feng Shui in it, a natural 'monopoly' ghost?"
Laughing like a self-deprecating smile, Yun Feng soon showed doubts on his face.
With a cautious temperament, he searched again and again on the Internet where the information was also exploding, and Yun Feng finally confirmed one thing.
"The games in this world are all paid games?"
Unbelievable in his eyes, Yun Feng slowly sorted out his thoughts.
Blue Star in this parallel world seems to be a little bit amazing in terms of technological development.
In just over ten years, from the era of red and white machines, to the advent of computers, to the perfection of VR technology.
In less than a generation, Blue Star's game technology has reached this point!
Under such conditions, it is understandable that there is such a strange status quo of the game industry.
All games, all charges!
Want to play, buy it out! Come buy time!
Under the iteration of technology, the market is now completely dominated by VR games.
Computers and mobile phones are basically kept as small office supplies, and even the computer manufacturers in the previous life seem to be unknown.
As for playing games on it? What a mess!
Because of this, vr is almost equally connected with games.
Vr accounts for more than 90% of the games produced every year.
"It's just that this is too childish." Shaking his head lightly, Yun Feng exhaled.
"Under the iteration of technology, compared with gameplay, it pursues simulation and emulation."
"All city simulators, ocean simulators, space simulators, more than open, not interesting enough!"
Yun Feng, who was a senior game developer in his previous life, saw some deformities in the current game industry right to the point.
And the business opportunities hidden under this deformity!
"Compared to before, this idea of the predecessor is much better than people in this era."
Shaking his head regretfully, Yun Feng looked at a plan that was discarded on the table.
Coincidentally, the identity of Yun Feng who traveled over here happens to be a game developer as well.
But not in the big factory programmers like Penguin, Potato, Glass Slag, or Hamiyou and Yading.
With a throbbing dream in his heart, Yun Feng, who graduated from an excellent university, resolutely became an independent game designer and opened a small studio.
No matter in which era, it is not uncommon for people to work hard with their dreams in mind.
However, the result is also often the same.
I have to say that the predecessor is still a bit talented. On the basis of VR simulation, it has a new style of researching games and fun, which is an idea that no one cares about in this era.
After just a few months of hard work with the studio members, a unique VR subway parkour game has been developed, and the testing phase has gone smoothly.
Judging from the data at the time, if it was launched like this, not to mention popular, at least it would be no problem to bring the team to eat.
only
The memories in his mind were gradually sorted out from the mixture, and Yun Feng understood the reason why Lin Tian looked at him like that before.
It was noticed by the huge "creative group" of the Penguin team. While the Yunfeng team was still improving the game content and fixing game bugs, the Penguin team began to plagiarize brazenly.
Copy the bottom layer, copy the logic, copy the modeling, copy the background, copy the design.
From zero to one is difficult, from one to countless ones, but it is extremely simple.
In just one week, the development speed of the Penguin team is naturally not comparable to that of a small studio like Yunfeng.
Still holding the crude vr version without any optimization and improvement, the Penguin platform conducted a public internal test of this "the first vr parkour game in China", and announced the official version launch time.
From internal testing to pre-purchase, the announcement and links of the official website were completed in one go.
Fengyun Studio, created by Yunfeng, has been in a hurry to release it, but it can't make a fuss at all.
With the brand of a big Penguin factory on top of the head, it is difficult for the VR developed by a small studio to seize the market.
Even if they had released it earlier, the result would not have been much better.
Fengyun Studio, which Yunfeng established with some family background and loans, was hit hard, and all the members were disheartened.
Yun Feng himself was in the predicament of going bankrupt.
"I admire your ideals very much. If there is a chance, I will get it all back for you."
Yun Feng talked to himself, his plain voice dissipated in the air, at this moment he finally accepted the fact that he traveled through.
Getting up from the desk and pacing lightly in the small space, Yun Feng was not too desperate for the current situation.
With so much experience in the previous life, relying on Yunfeng's means, it is still easy to re-establish such a small studio.
Having an idea in mind, Yun Feng whispered.
"Next, let's develop computer games first."
Competing for the market with the nearly monopolized vr game manufacturers is already difficult, Yunfeng naturally will not take the easy and take the difficult.
Walking to the door, Yun Feng was about to open the door, but something unexpected happened.
A crisp electronic sound sounded in Yunfeng's mind like a sound transmission.
"Ding! The entertainment materialization system is activated, and there are all kinds of entertainment. With real wealth, you can exchange for various entertainment products!"
"This is the system!" Yun Feng's eyes lit up, and he realized something as an old book fan in his previous life.
"System system, what can you exchange for, are there any online games that don't exist in this era?!"
Testing, Yun Feng asked hurriedly.
"The game interface is open, and the game product exchange needs to be known. After the exchange, only detailed game data memory will be provided, and it cannot be given to the entity."
"This is not a problem, with data and structure, the entity is at your fingertips!"
With a big wave of his hand, Yun Feng didn't lose the slightest bit.
How could he care about such a trivial matter when he planned to run the studio to regroup.
"Here comes a monster, a knife tower or something, pesticides are barely acceptable!"
"Ding! There are all kinds of games, and the minimum item exchange requires 1 billion assets. May I ask if you want to exchange it?"
"Cough, cough, cough." Yun Feng coughed violently, let alone 1 billion, now he doesn't know whether he still needs Hua Beibei.
"Ding, it is detected that the host still has a novice gift package that has not been opened, do you want to open it now!"
"Don't tell me sooner." Yun Feng heaved a sigh of relief.
Just now, he was still thinking about where to get money, but for a moment his thoughts almost went astray as he shouldn't.
"ON, NOW!"
