Chapter 74 Workshop and Multiplayer Games
During this week, Chen Xu also had contacts with NetDragon and Tenghua several times during this period.
Basically it's just one word: Mix.
The other party expressed his intention to acquire Nebula Games.
I made an appointment with the person in charge he sent to discuss the acquisition.
Judging from the other party’s quotation and various conditions.
Chen Xu almost thought that there was a big deal in his mind.
That is intentional, but not too much attention.
After several negotiations, the other party never contacted Chen Xu again, obviously he had given up this thought.
So the acquisition has come to an end for the time being.
At the same time, the new version of "The Kitchen of Noble" was officially launched.
Since the game was launched, this update is exactly two and a half weeks apart.
The main update content is the opening of the Creative Workshop.
Of course there are several new official game maps, theme and dish combinations.
With the launch of the new version of "The Kitchen of the Noble Kitchen", players soon discovered that the game had an additional update package.
So they updated and downloaded one after another.
"Well? The version of "The Kitchen of Noble" has been updated?!"
"Free? New maps and levels, and this creative workshop. Isn't this DLC content? Is it so conscience!"
"After reading the update introduction, players seem to be able to create levels by themselves!"
"Damn, is that awesome? Let me take a look!"
Many players updated the game as soon as possible.
At the same time, the relevant player community of "The Kitchen of Noble" was also discussed.
After all, this update is a bit beyond everyone's expectations.
Generally speaking, this kind of content update belongs to DLC, which means it is charged.
But this time, the update of "The Kitchen of Noble" is all free.
Secondly, "The Kitchen of Nons" has only been online for more than half a month.
Compared with the previous period, various "breakup kitchen" and "friendly kitchen" related memes, although they are a little behind in popularity, they are still quite popular now.
There are still many new players coming in, which can be seen from sales and online numbers.
This game still has a relatively long vitality. The updated version is obviously beyond the expectations of many players.
After the version update, some players who are interested in level design have begun to try out the creative workshop of "Junao Kitchen".
When designing the game, Chen Xu specifically considered the side of the subsequent players when creating levels themselves.
Therefore, the entire creation model is very simple and easy to understand.
In fact, Chen Xu can fully integrate these functions into the game itself.
Just like a game called Horse Made in the previous life.
In terms of technical strength, this is not a problem.
But in the end, Chen Xu did not make such a choice.
The main purpose is that Chen Xu hopes to build a Nebula Games community through this.
How to maintain the stickiness of players outside the game?
A solid gaming community can be said to be quite important.
After the new version of "The Kitchen of Noble" was updated, players continued to join the community.
During this period, many players have released some levels of production.
But they are still relatively simple, basically just some simple terrain changes were made.
And there is not much excellence, obviously there is no shining point.
However, Chen Xu was not very worried about this, because as long as there were more people working, excellent maps would always appear.
In fact, the Creative Workshop setting soon caused a wave of waves among the players.
And the methods of players to ‘break up’ have become more diverse.
For example, you can create a very 'underworld' map and then give it to another person (her) to experience it.
In the Creative Workshop community of Nebula Games, countless players spoke and discussed this update.
‘Bulfrog! This time the update!’
‘Yes! I feel that after this update, there are more content that can be experienced!’
‘I don’t know if you have discovered it. There are several authors who have specially created levels that can play smoothly with a single player!’
‘Yes, it’s great! I can finally cook alone!’
‘"Nonsense Kitchen", playing alone? I feel sorry for you brother!’
‘To be honest, I actually had a companion before playing alone!’
With the update of "The Kitchen of Noble Kitchen", Chen Xu looked at the reviews of online players.
All of them have good reviews.
However, except for players, it basically did not cause much trouble.
After all, it's just a version update.
But Chen Xu knew very well that the setting of the creative workshop could completely extend the life cycle of "The Kitchen of Noble" for a relatively long period of time.
As for how long it can be, it depends on the market and players, and this is not something he can control.
……………………
In the next period of time, there was not much work, and the main thing I was busy with was the company's expansion.
The entire floor upstairs has been negotiated with the relevant owners.
They have all been rented out, and the rest is decoration.
The staff also received a lot of resumes.
Almost Chen Xu has begun to consider the next stage.
Users and profits are the two directions Chen Xu is considering next.
But it's mainly users.
"The Kitchen of Nons" has been a good start.
Currently, there are about 500,000 daily active users on the Nebula gaming platform.
All of them are brought by "The Kitchen".
Thanks to the opening of the creative workshop, at least in the short term, these users will not be lost for too long.
But if Nebula Games does nothing, it will inevitably be lost.
"Multiplay, but it is not suitable for multiplayer games with a long development cycle. In addition, you have to start working on real masterpieces, and you can't have no experience at all."
Sitting in front of the computer, Chen Xu probably had a sound plan for the next development of Nebula Games.
In the short term, the development cycle is not very long and is a multiplayer game, which promotes the rapid development of the platform and accumulates users.
Secondly, the entire team must also begin to accumulate experience for the real 3a masterpieces.
After all, if you want to develop a platform, you will at least need a 3A game that can be used as a masterpiece.
Last year, he won the first prize in the tour event and successively released "Escape" and "Nonsense Kitchen", which greatly increased Chen Xu's resume.
In the official game designer rating, although there is no official letter notification, the resources in the background have increased by half compared to before.
If you want to develop a large-scale game with VR version, your resources and funds are a bit tight.
But PC is actually not bad in terms of funds and resources, and everything else is completely within the affordable range.
At this stage, the main issue is the team's technical strength. The previous "Escape" had this consideration.
Including this time recruiting new employees, the requirements for personnel are much stricter than the previous time.
Basically, you need to have more than four years of experience in the industry.
The purpose is to be able to use the official game engine under his guidance to make qualified needs.
And just as Chen Xu was thinking about the next development route of Nebula Games.
The office door was knocked.
Chapter completed!
