The 267th Chapter Confrontation Map COG

Lin Mao asked, "Chen Mo, there's been a lot of uproar about your game platform recently. You're so courageous, you offended a lot of people, right?"

Chen Mo smiled: "Offend people? Are you talking about those channel dealers? I didn't like them at all. Besides, what is offense? I don't need to care about their faces now, it's none of my business if they are happy or not. In fact, it's time for them to curry favor with me."

Lin Mao also smiled: "Yes, yes, you are inflated, but you are inflated well. Come, have a drink, for your inflation!"

The three of them raised their glasses together and drank it all in one go.

Chen Mo poured wine for the two of them.

Lin Mao also took a bottle of beer and poured it for Chen Mo: "To be honest, I'm also a little curious, what exactly are you doing as a game platform? It is said that Thunder game platform is now the third largest game platform in China, do you think? Like Emperor Dynasty Interactive Entertainment, it’s perfectly fine to take 70-80% of the game’s profits and make money while lying down, so why should this ratio be forcibly reduced to 30%?”

Chen Mo said: "Others don't understand, don't you understand?"

Lin Mao blinked: "You're just unhappy with those channel merchants?"

Chen Mo smiled: "Yes, I just see those channel merchants unhappy."

Zhao Zihao gave a thumbs up: "It's awesome."

Chen Mo said: "Actually, there are also channel merchants abroad. For example, some big game platforms take an average of 30%, and at most 50%, and there are no more. But what about these big domestic channel merchants? There are users in it, and they suppress some incompetent new designers in every possible way, and even take 80% or 90%!"

"Moreover, channel dealers monopolize the game market and push players a bunch of junk games in order to make money, which is not good for players."

"Players and designers are uncomfortable. Some designers have no choice but to be exploited by channels. In order to get recommended positions, in order to let more players notice their games, they have to change the game's profit model, okay. The game changed into a mess."

"Many independent game designers with backbone even choose to make their games available overseas. Over time, there are fewer and fewer innovative games in China."

"I just see that those channel dealers are very unhappy. Most of the channel dealers with resources choose to go with the same stream. I am different. Although I am a platform, I am still a designer. If I don't care about this kind of thing, no one else can. So I have to stand up." Calling Qin Shimingyue

"Many people think I'm fighting a price war,

Actually not really, I have money and resources now, so I have to do something right, that's all. "

Lin Mao nodded: "Okay, Chen Mo, I'll take your words to you! But to be honest, I admire your courage. You're ruining the jobs of those channel dealers."

Chen Mo smiled: "So what? E-commerce also ruined the jobs of brick-and-mortar stores, so what? Things that shouldn't exist should be eliminated by history. I know I'm doing the right thing. , that's enough."

Lin Mao said, "That's right. It just so happens that my new game is about to be completed. I plan to support you and put it on your platform."

Chen Mo nodded: "Welcome! Don't worry, I will definitely give you a good promotion. How is your game completion?"

Lin Mao said: "The degree of completion is quite high. In the past two days, I plan to put it on the official application market. By the way, how many designers have contacted you recently?"

Chen Mo thought for a moment: "So far, dozens of designers have contacted me. The main reason is that many people are still in a wait-and-see state. After all, the Thunder Game Platform has never promoted other designers' games before, and now it communicates with major channels. It's very frustrating, and it's normal for them to hesitate."

Lin Mao said: "It's okay, take your time."

Lin Mao has made four games so far, basically one a year, and is now a B-level designer. In fact, Lin Mao's progress is very good, but only when compared with a player like Chen Mo, he will appear a little unknown.

The three continued to chat with each other.

Suddenly, Zhao Zihao remembered something and said to Chen Mo, "By the way, when I was abroad, I found a pretty good RPG map, but I don't have it in China, it's called COG, of Gods, have you played it?"

Chen Mo was stunned: "Translated into Chinese... the battle of the gods?"

Zhao Zihao nodded: "Yes, that's the name. And the gameplay is quite interesting. It's similar to the Chenghai 3C you made. It's also three ways, but the layout is different, 5V5."

Chen Mo frowned slightly: "Oh, is there a video?"

"Yes, you wait." Jin Tong

Zhao Zihao rummaged through his phone for a long time, found a video of playing COG, and showed it to Chen Mo.

This video was recorded with a mobile phone screen, and the clarity is a bit sloppy. Most people would be confused, but Chen Mo could see it clearly.

This is a map made with the Warcraft editor. Like Chenghai 3C, there are three roads from left to right, but there are already concepts of wild areas and wild monsters.

Each of the 10 players can control a hero (according to the game's packaging, called a god), with the ultimate goal of destroying the opponent's base.

There is not much information on the demo video, but Chen Mo can still roughly infer the structure of this map from the minimap.

Chen Mo nodded: "Well, it's interesting."

Zhao Zihao said: "This map is quite popular abroad, especially in Europe and the United States. It is very popular. It has just climbed to the first place in the confrontation map. I also like to play, it feels more balanced than Chenghai 3C, and I can get started. The difficulty is also relatively low.”

In fact, Chen Mo can regularly check some data of the overseas version of "Warcraft", but he has been very busy recently, so he has not been paying attention. If Zhao Zihao didn't mention it by accident, he might have found it a week or two later. map.

Chen Mo asked: "Are there any European and American companies that want to change this picture into a separate game?"

Zhao Zihao thought for a while: "Uh, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com It is said that the author of this picture is looking for some big game companies, but because the asking price is relatively high, it has not been negotiated. I don't know what to do now."

Chen Mo nodded, fortunately, it was within his expectations.

The original author of this map must be very aware of the potential of this gameplay. However, the current COG map is a derivative of "Warcraft". If you want to use it for profit, you must change everything from the engine to the character settings. Obviously The author does not currently have this strength.

But those big European and American game companies are definitely not willing to give him so many resources because of an inexplicable map, so in the short term, it is difficult for the two sides to reach an agreement, and COG is still far from growing into a separate game.

Chen Mo asked, "Can you contact this author?"

Zhao Zihao was stunned for a moment: "Uh, it should be possible, what's wrong?"

Chen Mo said: "I plan to chat with him."
