Chapter 540 Shooting Games

"Because the most profitable thing on the Internet now is online games."

Wang Baolin pushed up his glasses and said: "With Legend, Shanda's turnover in 03 was 5 million. In May this year, Shanda was listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange in the United States, issuing 5 million shares. The price was US$1380 and a total of US$11 million was raised, making it the Chinese concept stock with the highest market value on Nasdaq. Chen Tianqiao also became the richest man with Shanda’s listing.”

"Brother Feng, you also knew about the money making from games in the past two years. Just making legendary private servers and plug-ins has such a high market. Do you think Shanda Company makes more money?"

When Wang Baolin talked about this, he became a little excited. He said: "There is also NetEase. With the launch of Westward Journey and Fantasy Westward Journey, NetEase's stock market value is also very high on the Nasdaq market, so I am very Be optimistic about the online game market.”

"However, we don't have enough staff and technology, so it's unrealistic to make online games, so I thought about making shooting games. The most popular one right now is Counter-Strike, but Counter-Strike has a problem, that is, slow version updates, poor picture quality, and poor map quality. As it ages, it loses its freshness for players, so I want to use Counter-Strike as a template to make an online game."

Wang Baolin brought Ye Feng to a computer with a character model of a special soldier holding a gun, and said: "With Counter-Strike paving the way, our path will become much simpler. First, there are players, and then, shooting We can make basic templates, scene templates, character models, zombies, and general mercenary models, and we can rent servers. The current problem we face is the lack of professional artists."

Ye Feng asked: "What is the idea of ​​making money?"

"The idea is to make it an online game model."

Wang Baolin said: "We can set levels and add plot modes to diversify the gameplay. The most important thing is that we can add some better-performing guns to the mall. These guns need to be recharged to purchase. This is our profit. source."

Ye Feng asked: "How long have you been thinking about these?"

“We were imagining it at the end of last year,” Wang Baolin said.

Ye Feng stopped talking and couldn't help but glance at Wang Baolin, who was severely short-sighted. He even wondered if this guy had gone to the Mahuateng Company to work as a game planner in his previous life. He also had the idea of ​​cheating money. from.

Ye Feng thought for a while and asked: "Do you know that the shooting game you are making now is an infringement?"

"know."

Wang Baolin pushed up his glasses and said: "But CS's company is in Washington, USA. It's not that easy to file a lawsuit with us. Even if they find us to file a lawsuit, they will have to enter a long litigation period. By then, we will have already made money. Now, you can switch to other games.”

Ye Feng became more and more certain that Wang Baolin was a hidden master.

The purpose is simple and efficient.

He also clearly explained the porcelain philosophy of later Penguin companies in making games. Sometimes the cost of plagiarism and piracy is so cheap.

Ye Feng couldn't help but look at Wang Baolin again.

Wang Baolin was stunned by Ye Feng's look: "Brother Feng, why are you staring at me?"

Ye Feng asked in a wicked tone: "Do you know Mahua Teng?"

"I don't know." Wang Baolin shook his head.

"It's fine if you don't know each other."

Ye Feng didn't continue talking, lest he say too much and let it slip, which would make it difficult to explain. It's not that Ye Feng didn't understand shooting games, on the contrary, he dared to say that these technical men in Fengxing Studio After all, no one can match him in Counter-Strike.What are the most popular shooting games in the future?
One is "Crossfire".

One is "Absolute Survival", which is what people often call the chicken game.

"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" can basically be rejected. The reason is very simple. Existing computers and Internet speeds cannot support this classic game. In an era when not many people have even heard of independent graphics cards, why can they support it? Do you want to play a game with such configuration?
In CrossFire, Ye Feng didn't want to give Wang Baolin too much advice. The main reason for this was that Ye Feng was a loyal player of this game in his previous life, and he naturally hated the various paid props in it.

Ye Feng doesn't want to be such a person. Also, Ye Feng doesn't know what the future lawsuit will be like because he has never been exposed to this area in his previous life, so he doesn't know much about intellectual property rights in this area.

Ye Feng looked at Wang Baolin and the dozen or so programmers beside him, and asked, "Are you sure you want to make this game?"

"determine."

"It's been preparing for half a year."

"..."

There were many people who answered, but they were all full of longing for this game. Ye Feng was not willing to let their preparations for more than half a year go to waste. He looked at Wang Baolin: "If you want to make a shooting online game, I have no objection. I won’t pour cold water on you, but one thing I want to remind you is that if you apply CS maps and modes, you will definitely have to file a lawsuit in the future, and you will definitely lose the lawsuit.”

"Brother Feng, are you so sure?" Wang Baolin looked at Ye Feng, a little unconvinced. This is indeed the case. In the current domestic environment, the awareness of copyright is indeed very weak.

It is normal for Wang Baolin not to be aware of this aspect, and his thinking is also very correct. Even if it is a case of dispute, I can also file a lawsuit with you. If I lose the lawsuit, I will appeal, and if I lose again, I will appeal again, and lose again. I also appealed to the High Court.

How long did it take to complete these rounds?At least several years have passed.

What is the peak lifespan of an online game?That is only three or two years.

Ye Feng didn't want to limit Wang Baoli to a certain box, which would easily affect his thinking, so he said: "I'm sure a lawsuit will come to you. Now I'm telling you, just to remind you, what you do depends on yourself. If you decide to do it, then do it, take the lawsuit, and accompany them to litigate. The essence of a businessman is to make money."

"I see."

Since Wang Baolin was arrested at the end of last year, he was also afraid of lawsuits, so he nodded: "As for the map, I will change it to another map template. At worst, we will rewrite the map, and I will also consider the model."

"That's fine."

Ye Feng nodded, then looked at Li Dahai, who had been silent, and said, "Dahai, go back and communicate with Li Ping and ask her to recruit some professional artists to paint the original drawings for Baolin and the others."

"Okay boss." Li Dahai nodded and accepted the matter.

Then Ye Feng remembered the purpose of coming here.

Wang Baolin thought of making money by making games, how could Ye Feng not think of making money by making games?It's just that there are some differences between what he thinks and what Wang Baolin thinks. What he wants to do is a web game.
