Chapter 72 Assumptions of the Dota Era

Time has come to June 30, and it has been two months since Chen Ping was reborn.

A lot has happened in the past two months.

In just two months, Chen Ping's business has improved slightly, and even his assets have exceeded 10 million.

You know, just for the game "Plants vs. Zombies", the external valuation has reached as high as tens of millions. In addition to the Changping Supermarket, there are three-storey shops worth 5 million under Chen Ping's name. After all, Chen Ping has a lot of assets under his name.

However, for these, Chen Ping did not make a detailed calculation.

For the past two days, Chen Ping and Xue Mingtao have been discussing the development of the second game.

On the morning of the 30th, when Chen Ping and Xue Mingtao were thinking hard about the direction of the development of the second game, Chen Ping's eyes lit up and he quickly searched the computer. A faint smile appeared on his face. .

Seeing Chen Ping's actions, Xue Mingtao was also a little strange. He couldn't hold back his curiosity and glanced at him.

However, seeing the information Chen Ping searched on the Internet, Xue Mingtao was also confused.

The next moment, Chen Ping had turned his head to look at Xue Mingtao, and asked with a soft smile, "Have you played this game?"

Xue Mingtao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slowly, and said softly for unknown reasons: "That's not true, but I have heard of this game, it seems to be developed by a game company in the United States, it should be Hexingxing. Hegemony is the same company that is currently preparing to launch the game, but I don’t know the exact launch date.”

Chen Ping nodded. Although Xue Mingtao is an old man in the game development industry, he has only been working hard in the domestic game market. Xue Mingtao's understanding of the foreign game market is not too deep.

Although Blizzard, a game company, has developed the absolute classic game StarCraft, the game StarCraft has not caused much waves in China. Although there are many people playing it, it is not yet. One of the most popular games in the country.

So Xue Mingtao didn't know Blizzard Game Company, it was normal.

Chen Ping decisively turned the computer in front of him to Xue Mingtao, pointed to the computer screen, and said with a smile, "Look at the introduction of this game!"

Xue Mingtao glanced at Chen Ping in surprise, and then carefully looked at the webpage opened by Chen Ping.

After a while, Xue Mingtao asked softly in doubt, "Is there anything special about this game? It seems to be just a stand-alone game. Although it can be played online, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the game we are going to develop!"

Chen Ping shook his head with a smile, and after pondering for a moment, he said softly: "I just checked, this game will be launched tomorrow! Before, the first and second editions of this game, in It has achieved a lot of success abroad. As for the third edition, it is definitely the most classic game template. Although it has not too many players, believe me, it will be derived from this game in the future. Some game maps can definitely become popular all over the world, and even open a new era of games!"

Hearing Chen Ping's words, Xue Mingtao's eyes flashed a hint of doubt. After reading the brief introduction of the game carefully, his doubts were still not dispelled.

After a long silence, Xue Mingtao said softly: "Mr. Chen,

After all, this game has not been launched yet, and we have not seen its specific content. How do you know that it will become popular all over the world in the future? "

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted.

Indeed, the official launch of this game is tomorrow, and if it enters the country, it will take at least a few months, and during this time, this game is almost invisible in China.

What's more, although the name of this game will be known by almost everyone in the future, at least for now, no one can predict the development prospects of this game.

After thinking for a while, Chen Ping suddenly pointed to a few lines of words on the webpage, and said softly, "Have you noticed this?"

Xue Mingtao looked at it carefully, then nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice, "Players can make their own maps, which is a bit novel, but the game's basic content is still the official game content, and the maps made by the players may not be the same. There won’t be much room for profit, right? After all, for those who develop game maps by themselves, they still have to rely on the platform of this game, which will not be of much help to the development of our game company!”

Hearing Xue Mingtao say this, Chen Ping laughed softly in an unfathomable way, and then slowly said: "Trust me, you will know in the future that in this game, there will definitely be several maps that are popular all over the country, Even the whole world!"

As he spoke, Chen Ping's eyes flashed with a flash of reminiscence.

In the previous life, after this game gradually became popular, although not many people paid attention to it in the early stage, when several maps appeared on this game platform, it even directly opened a new era of games!

However, at present, this game has not been launched after all, so no one will know how much shock this game will bring to the whole world in the future.

Chen Ping's heart is also a little bit eager, although he wants to make that map, but at present, he still needs to wait for the game to officially enter the Chinese market. At that time, the plan in his heart can begin to be officially launched.

Afterwards, Chen Ping briefly introduced his thoughts to Xue Mingtao, but there are many key points in it, and Chen Ping could not explain it in detail, so that Xue Mingtao also heard a little vague, but look at Chen Ping's Excited and excited, Xue Mingtao also had endless curiosity in his heart.

In Chen Ping's mouth, Xue Mingtao heard a word for the first time, real-time competitive game.

In Chen Ping's mouth, on such a game map, a total of 10 people can play against each other. Every five people are on one side. The two sides fight with the goal of destroying the other's base. .

The mode of the whole game completely breaks the template of existing stand-alone games and online games.

As Chen Ping said, if such a game mode can really become popular, it can really open up a new era of games!

But Xue Mingtao is really not sure whether this game era can really be popular all over the world as Chen Ping said.

After all, even the game itself has not been launched yet, and the derived maps are even more unlikely to appear. Many things that Chen Ping said, when he did not operate it himself, he could not see anything at all, so he could only suppress his heart. of curiosity.

When Chen Ping talked about this, he just remembered the reason. The game map he mentioned was actually the dota that became popular in the whole world in the previous life!

And the game itself, which will be launched in the United States tomorrow, is Chen Ping's previous life, Warcraft 3, which is almost well-known.

The content of the game Warcraft itself, although there were a lot of players in the early stage, but later, the target of everyone's attention has gradually shifted from the content of the game itself to the various game derivative maps that are constantly being introduced.

This game has become a game platform. Many game maps developed have been popular for a while, and the most classic of them is the Dota that Chen Ping intends to develop.

Dota also opened a new era of games, real-time competitive games.

In fact, the real-time competitive game is not started by Dota. The game StarCraft is the first real-time competitive game that is popular all over the world, but the problem is that many domestic players have never played StarCraft at all.

For people like Chen Ping, the knife tower is the most familiar.

What's more, when he opened the era of 5V5 real-time competitive games, not only Dota itself, but also League of Legends, King of Glory, etc., are all kinds of games that are popular all over the world.

In Chen Ping's impression, the first release of Dota's game map should be a few years later. If he can release Dota first and officially introduce this game map to the whole world, by that time, Chen Ping will even You can fully grasp the game IP of the follow-up League of Legends and the glory of the king, which can be called gold-sucking monsters!

However, at present, this is only just talk on paper. Although Chen Ping has played these games many times and is very familiar with the many heroes involved, it is not Chen Ping who wants to develop them thoroughly. Just say it.

It is not that easy to develop and thoroughly promote the map of Dota alone.

At least the current Coslight Technology Company does not have the ability to do so.

Therefore, Chen Ping just briefly shared his thoughts with Xue Mingtao, and then took this matter into his heart.

It is precisely because of this idea that Chen Ping finally made a decision in his heart.

Originally, Chen Ping planned to continue to develop several single-player games, accumulate a certain amount of funds, and then officially release a large-scale online game. This path is also the most suitable for the current Coslight Technology Company. After all, it will be more stable and develop. You don't have to take too much risk in the process.

However, after thinking of Dota, Chen Ping changed his mind.

It's not that he gave up the development of online games, but he wanted to give up the development of stand-alone games.

If Chen Ping remembers correctly, the domestic stand-alone game market will be completely desolate after a year or two. Even if it is the game of the Legend of Sword and Fairy series that is currently popular across the country, although there will be several games developed in the future, but the hot The level is gradually declining. Although the development of stand-alone games can make some money, it will not benefit Coslight Technology in the future.

If Coslight Technology really wants to keep up with the times in game development and surpass the times, it is necessary for Coslight Technology to take a risky move!

The current Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. is too small to develop an online game, and the risk it takes is not low. Once the game development fails, or it fails to succeed after going online, Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. will immediately collapse with its current size!

This is also the reason why Chen Ping wanted to develop several stand-alone games before, because only in that way, Coslight Technology can accumulate more funds and strength, and the fault tolerance rate is also higher.

But now, Chen Ping has changed his mind!

He had been neglecting it before. With the vision of a reborn, is there any reason to fail the game he developed?

If it really fails, it can only be said that it is Chen Ping's responsibility alone!

On the other hand, if a game company wants to achieve long-term development, the most important thing is not its ability to make money, but how many hardcore players it can have.

Now, although Chen Ping doesn't have much money in his hands, he will wait until the game "Plants vs. Zombies" becomes completely popular. The revenue from the advertising space alone is enough to support Chen Ping to develop an online game.

What's more, in the early stage of online game development, the investment is not too much. After all, in the early stage, it is just to do some preparations and plan the main direction of the game.
