Chapter 276 - New channel, new game
On November 3rd, just when everyone thought that Chen Mo’s battle had come to an end and that he had won, another piece of news caused another wave.
Emperor dynasty entertainment and fantasy gaming platform announced that they would form a strategic partnership and share resources. Any game that was released on either platform would automatically be released on the other platform and would receive a recommendation spot.
Apart from that, there were more than ten other smaller channels that joined the Alliance between Emperor dynasty entertainment and fantasy gaming platform.
In other words, Emperor dynasty entertainment and fantasy gaming platform took the lead and combined all the resources from the smaller channels to build a huge platform.
All games that are released on any of the above platforms will be released on other platforms at the same time and may receive a very strong recommendation: It was recommended to all channels.
If a game was lucky enough to receive such a recommendation, it would be recommended on the front page of all the gaming platforms mentioned above. The effect of such a recommendation could be said to be terrifying.
Thunderbolt gaming platform was the third largest gaming platform in the country, and their number of users wasn’t even comparable to Emperor dynasty gaming platform or fantasy gaming platform. However, after these distributors worked together to create a platform, the resources of both sides were pulled apart.
Even though Emperor dynasty entertainment and fantasy gaming platform didn’t mention anything about ‘Thunderbolt gaming platform’, it was clear that this was a counterattack. Against a strong disrupter, these old distributors had no choice but to work together to protect their own interests.
The situation became confusing again.
....
Emperor dynasty Entertainment’s headquarters.
In Lin chaoxu’s office, the three S-grade video game designers were all present.
Qiu Jiang and Yan Zhenyuan were sitting on the long sofa, while Qin Xiao was sitting on a single sofa, his legs resting on the coffee table.
“You guys know about the all-channel transportation, right?” Lin chaoxu asked.
“Got it,” Yan Zhenyuan nodded.
Qiu Jiang was playing with her nails, bored.””With such a huge commotion, how could they not know?”
Lin chaoxu nodded,”yes, this is the reason I called you guys over.” I’ll be direct, from the looks of it, the all-channel joint transport is going well. Ding Xing bit the bullet this time and sacrificed a lot of benefits to facilitate this cooperation, but overall, it’s a good thing for both US and fantasy gaming platform. ”
“The most important thing now is that we need a key game to show the players and independent designers the power of the new platform.
“A new game?” Qin Xiao asked, interested.
Lin chaoxu nodded.”That’s right. Ding Xing is also talking to Liu Yuanfeng in private. He hopes that ZEN Entertainment can also release a competitive game.” It’s the same for our Empire. ”
“This time, we’ll release three to five new games. Then, we’ll compete internally. The best two games will receive the strongest recommendation from all channels. This means that other than Thunderbolt gaming platform, all other gaming platforms will see the two new games. ”
Qin Xiao, Qiu Jiang, and Yan Zhenyuan all listened intently. It was obvious that this was a great opportunity for them.
“The game we’re going to make this time has to be super popular,” Lin chaoxu continued.”In other words, it has to capture the largest number of players.”
Qin Xiao pondered for a moment before asking,”where’s the platform?”
“There’s no limit to the platform,” Lin chaoxu said.”But the type of game definitely can’t be a simple game like tabletop games. It’s meaningless even if that kind of game increases the number of players.”
Qiu Jiang thought about it. “Mmorpgs, then. I’m good at it.”
“That’s not for sure. There are quite a number of FPS players in the country as well.” Qin Xiao replied.
Qiu Jiang glanced at him.”However, most FPS games don’t have both VR and PC. Mmorpgs can have both.”
Qin Xiao was speechless.
Lin chaoxu said,”all three platforms have their own advantages. The mobile platform has the most players and is the easiest to promote. The VR platform is easier to produce high-quality works. The PC platform is relatively more of a compromise.”
Yan Zhenyuan nodded.”That’s right. But from the looks of it, mmorpgs are still the best if we want to capture the most number of users. Especially since we can do both VR and PC games. The advantage is huge.”
Qin Xiao shook his head,”I don’t think so.” Legend of the Sword, the moon god’s prophecy, and heavenly justice of the Three Kingdoms were the three most successful RPG games in the country, but none of them managed to take down the other. Was he trying to create a new MMORPG that could take over all three of them and dominate the MMORPG market? I think the possibility of that is very low. ”
Lin chaoxu asked Qiu Jiang,”what do you think?” Does MMORPG still have room for development?”
Qiu Jiang pondered for a moment and said,”it’s hard to say.” Based on the current operation of the moon god’s prophecy, mmorpgs still had a lot of potential. However, if you want to make a game that can dominate the MMORPG market, you have to fulfill at least two conditions. ”
“First, improve your technical level, art performance, and other aspects. Second, there are major changes in the way you play and the structure of the world. ”
“Based on the current situation, it’s impossible to improve my technical skills and art performance in all aspects. The only opportunity is to improve my playstyle and world setting.”
“That means there’s no chance,” Qin Xiao interjected.”There won’t be any major changes to mmorpgs in the short term. As for the world views, I haven’t seen anything particularly impressive yet.”
Qiu Jiang rolled her eyes at him.

Lin chaoxu replied,”it’s okay, there’s no need to rush.” No one could say for sure what the next game to dominate the domestic game market would be. You guys can think about it and not limit your thinking to mmorpgs. For example, two days ago, I found a very good game prototype overseas. ”
As Lin chaoxu spoke, he pulled out a video from his laptop.
“What’s this, isn’t this Warcraft?”
Qin Xiao, Qiu Jiang, and Yan Zhenyuan were all surprised.
Lin chaoxu shook his head.”No, it’s an RPG map in Warcraft. It’s called COG, the Battle of the Gods.”
The three of them watched the entire video in detail.
“According to insider information,” Lin chaoxu said,”the author of this picture has decided to work with GA to make COG an independent game that’s no longer part of Warcraft.”
Qin Xiao furrowed his brows,”GA? Would they be interested in such a simple map? And it’s even a Warcraft drawing?”
It was no wonder that Qin Xiao would be so confused.
GA was a very famous game developer, its full name was GeniusArt. It could be ranked in the top three in the entire European and American region, and could be said to be a veritable industry giant.
From the video, COG was an RPG map that was completely attached to Warcraft, so it had a third person God’s perspective.
Moreover, the game’s content wasn’t rich, and they were fighting on the same map back and forth. The only commendable thing was that its hero and equipment system were more complicated.
Such a simple map could win the favor of an GA? This sounded like a fantasy.
