Chapter 267 Celebration Banquet
The online content version of "Taiwu 2" was originally something to be launched in the plan.
Online gameplay, this function may not be of much help to the quality of the game itself, but it will have a better improvement effect on the long-term revenue of the game.
The members of the planning team of the "Luozhou Studio" are already considering that after the online version is released, they will hold an event such as "The World's No. 1 Martial Arts Conference" and set a time so that all players can sign up to participate. The competition system does not need to be too complicated. Just create a ring match and bring the audience below.
Even if you perform well, it is still unknown whether you can go to e-sports.
Although, if you want to do e-sports, games that are naturally not FPS or MOBA are more suitable.
And then again, the sales of 14 million sets in the first week of "Taiwu Painting 2" are actually far from reaching its peak.
Although the sales of this game have exploded, due to various reasons, many of the players who first learned about this work did not directly buy it.
For Chinese players, they have experienced many ‘3A scams’. Although they were very excited about “Taiwu 2” before, when the game was launched, some people still chose to wait and see for the time being.
Similarly, in the overseas market, there are many such wait-and-see players. Their doubts are mainly due to the subject matter.
But then again, basically, after watching for a while, people who have basically fallen into the trap will likely start buying games.
The reason is nothing special. Whether it is the various news about "Taiwu 2" they have seen on the Internet or the feedback given by friends who have played games around them, the quality of this game is extremely high.
At the same time, as more and more players play, the entire game has become more and more popular. This is reflected in the fact that there are a large number of game anchors and video producers playing this game, both at home and abroad. Their live broadcasts and the game video content they made have spread wildly on the Internet.
Such popularity has also attracted many players who had no knowledge of "Taiwu Painting 2" before that, and have entered this game world.
And all of these are reflected in the sales of "Taiwu 2".
The global sales of 14 million units on the first week were already quite good results. At the end of August, this sales figure had reached 26 million units!
In almost two weeks, "Taiwu 2" has gained tens of millions of sales.
The total sales of 26 million sets also made the game profitable by more than 1.5 billion US dollars.
There is no doubt that "Taigo Painting Scroll 2" has become one of the most profitable games in the world.
A celebration banquet has been held within the company.
In fact, this celebration banquet is somewhat late. It should have been held when the sales volume came out.
However, at that time, the team of "Luozhou" was intensively promoting the development of the online version, striving to make the online version online as usual according to the information previously announced, so as to cooperate with the "World's No. 1 Martial Arts Conference" formulated by the company's marketing department.
As a result, the entire development department was very busy and there was no time to hold a celebration banquet.
However, by now, the online version has been done almost. The first version has been released and the official version will be launched soon, and the workload of the development team has dropped suddenly. Although there are still many things to do in the later maintenance, it is not too busy.
So Fan Zhe was also generous. He booked a five-star hotel next to him and invited a very good chef to make a top-notch buffet, allowing hundreds of people in the entire project team to eat, drink and have fun.
Although the price is not cheap, it is still a drop in the bucket compared to the profits they bring to the company.
According to the current sales of "Taiwu Painting Scroll 2", even if the sales of this game no longer increase in the future, it can at least bring more than one billion US dollars in revenue to Weidu Entertainment.
This can be equivalent to about seven billion yuan!
Although this game can be made and can be made like this, the 'dimensionality' system actually takes the greatest contribution.
Whether it is the 'dimensional engine' or the art resources provided by the 'dimensional' system, it is difficult to measure with money. Otherwise, it is very difficult to achieve the visual effects of the combat system shown in "Taiwu 2" or the calculation level of intelligent AI such as "Dynamic Jianghu" with modern technology.
Not to mention that it can be done or cannot be done, at least, the cost of 1.2 billion yuan claimed by "Taiwu 2" is definitely impossible - it will be impossible to increase it several times.
But no matter what, the role of "human" cannot be ignored.
The game planning plan, about various Chinese elements, the embodiment of traditional martial arts philosophy in the game, about various art designs, and about the calculation design of dynamic martial arts...
All of these have condensed the efforts of all the staff of the "Luozhou Studio" directly affiliated to Weidu Entertainment over the past two years.
Spend some money and treat everyone to a celebration banquet, which is the right thing to do.
In the hotel lobby, Fan Zhe also put down his post-production work of "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts" and chose to come and spend this day with everyone that may be more meaningful than the Spring Festival.
Eat, drink, chat... There is no annoying part of the leader's speech, just relaxing together.
In the second half of the banquet, Fan Zhe and Zhong Hua got together and talked about the next project.
"The "Taiwu" is finished, but I don't plan to let the "Luozhou Studio" rest. In addition to the necessary iteration and maintenance of "Taiwu 2", I am going to draw out the other personnel and start the next game project."
"Wow, Lao Fan, you are such a vampire! We have earned you billions, and you don't even give me some rest?" Zhong Hua said in an exaggerated look. Of course, he was joking. His personal relationship with Fan Zhe was already very good.
Fan Zhe smiled and said, "Do you want to rest? That's OK. I'll give you two months off, less than half a year. You can go wherever you go. I'll find Mile to do art for new projects."
"No, no, Lao Fan, Mr. Fan, Fan Shen, I was wrong." Zhong Hua said with a stern face and said, "Tell me, what are you going to do in the new game project?"
"It's probably an original game IP, and the subject matter may be steampunk."
"Steampunk?"
"Yes, what do you think of making a steam dawn?"
Chapter completed!
