Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

After chatting with the bullet screen comments for a while, Qiao Liang suddenly slapped his forehead.

"Sh*t, I was so engrossed in chatting with you guys that I forgot about the main topic."

"Tengda Games made a big move today."

Qiao Liang quickly opened Dawn Games platform and immediately saw three eye-catching promotional column spots on the home page.

The first was that the Dawn Games Editor was officially released.

The second was the official release of the game 'Shu Li'.

The third was the official completion of the merging of GOG and IOI. Today was the official update of GOG after the modification.

Each of these three matters was a huge piece of news. If it were other companies, these three events would definitely be promoted separately so that they could obtain the greatest popularity.

However, Tengda Corporation seemed to have given up on itself. They had put all three projects together. They were even suspected of sharing each other's popularity.

However, no matter what, Tengda Games' continuous big movements during this period made players very satisfied.

The Dawn Games game editor had been planning and developing for a long time. At the moment, only the initial version had been released. However, before it was released, the official platform had already released an announcement in advance to explain this game editor.

What made independent gamers cheer was that Dawn Games' game editor had two outstanding characteristics compared to other game editors.

First, all game designers could use this game editor for free. If the game's finished product was released on Dawn Games platform and the revenue was less than 10 million yuan, the game editor would be used for free without any charge.

If the game was released on Dawn Games platform and the revenue exceeded 10 million yuan, he would charge 5% according to the final actual profit. In addition, there was a limit to this commission. No matter how popular this game was, it would only charge one million yuan if it earned tens of millions or hundreds of millions in the end.

The second was that Tengda Games would be allowed to share all of its resources freely in the game editor.

As for the new game that had not been released, all the resources would be shared in the game editor three months after it was released.

On top of that, all functions of the official game editor could basically be realized. For example, different users could buy or share game resources with each other.

These two points alone made Dawn Games game editor unique.

For other commercial game editors, the charge of Dawn Games' game editor could be said to be very conscientious. It was equivalent to allowing all independent game designers to use it for free. If the game really became popular and earned more than 10 million yuan, they would not care about the mere 5% copyright fee.

Compared to the official games platform, the biggest advantage of this game editor was that it shared all of Tengda Games' resources. What's more, these free resources would continue to be updated.

The official platform might also have many game resources, but it could not force all manufacturers to share their precious game resources after all. Thus, everyone could only buy some more ordinary resources. Real high-quality resources could either be bought with money or made by themselves.

For independent game designers, creating games on the official platform would definitely face a budget gap. The quality of the game would also be difficult to guarantee.

However, most high-quality resources could be found in the Dawn Games Editor, so that the game would look very good from the beginning. This undoubtedly greatly increased their success rate.

Of course, the most important thing about the game editor's success was whether it was useful or not.

From this point, Dawn Games game editor had a certain advantage over the official game editor.

After all, the official game editor had been developed by integrating a few different game editors at that time. What's more, the developers did not have a deep understanding of game design. In addition, it had been a long time. Many designs did not seem to fit the current trend.

On the other hand, the Dawn Games Editor was developed by Li Yada and many developers of Dawn Games platform. During the development process, they took care of the developers' usage habits and deleted many redundant functions. Naturally, it was easier and smoother to use.

Qiao Liang planned to play the game editor later on. Perhaps he would be able to turn around from an UP Master to an independent game designer?

As for the official release of the game 'Shu Li', it was similar to the game content. It felt like there were many disasters.

It had been more than three months since the release date.

That was not entirely because there were some flaws in the management of time in the huge project of delayed development for the first time. The main reason was that Shu Li had to cooperate with the Dawn Games game editor.

Li Yada considered that after the Dawn Games game editor was released, there did not seem to be a single game that would promote the game editor and show the powerful functions of the game editor to all independent game designers and gamers. Thus, she discussed with Yan Qi if she could consider using the Dawn Games game editor to redo Shu Li.

After inspecting the Dawn Games game editor, Yan Qi realized that the effect would indeed be better if he were to use it to create. What's more, many functions that he had designed previously could be more easily realized.

For an action-based game, many details, including the impact, would directly affect players' gaming experience. If changing to the Dawn Games Editor could bring better experience, why not?

He could also take this opportunity to expand the game content.

Thus, the game 'Shu Li' was re-done once before it was officially released. Of course, this was not a complete overhaul. That was because Li Yada had already thought of this possibility in advance before designing the morning sun game editor. Thus, the project plan in the official game editor could be packaged and transplanted into the morning sun game editor.

After the transplant, the producer only needed to use the editor function of the Dawn Games game editor to make minor edits to the original project.

It was also convenient for the two game editors to be interconnected. Independent game designers could freely use two different game editors to edit.

Of course, this transfer was not without cost. Every transfer might induce some minor bugs that needed repair.

However, no matter what, this gave independent game designers a brand new plan.

As for the merging plan of GOG and IOI, it had been progressing efficiently and steadily. Before this huge version update, Tengda Games had already found a large number of people to test, especially the professional players of the two games.

After all, professional players represented the ceiling of the game. If they could meet the requirements of professional players, ordinary players should not have much opinions.

These professional players were also eagerly participating. After all, this concerned their rice bowls.

As for the details of the internal beta test, there was not much news leaked because the people who had participated in the test were very strict. Most players could only wait for the new version to be released after the merging.

Qiao Liang could not help but feel emotional. "I feel like Tengda Corporation has been moving faster and faster recently. Boss Pei seems to be in a hurry."

"Don't tell me he wants to retire after graduating. That's ridiculous."

"I don't think anyone with brains would do something like that."

At some point in time, there was a rumor online that Boss Pei had already planned his retirement.

Whether it was nurturing the person-in-charge or speeding up the expansion of new fields, they were all paving the way for their smooth retirement.

If he ignored Boss Pei's age, he would find this series of measures reasonable.

However, the problem was that Boss Pei had just graduated from university.

Putting aside the legal retirement age, 40 to 50 years old was the time to be rich. He had to work until 50 before retiring, right?

Tengda Corporation was thriving and the situation was great. Even if Boss Pei wanted to retreat bravely, he would retreat too quickly.

These rumors were ridiculous.

"Alright, dear audience, let us take a look at the new editor on Dawn Games platform first."

"I think I, Teacher Qiao, should not be much worse off than independent game designers given my appreciation and rich experience in games."

"I announce that I will definitely be able to create the next version of Black Ink and Clouds. Then, my next episode of Products of the Gods will be about the game that I created."

Qiao Liang explained his ambition to the audience in the live-stream confidently.

He earnestly opened the Dawn Games platform's game editor and began to compare the official game editor.

"You can directly use the game editor to create a new project. You can also follow the corresponding guidance according to the players' account data on Dawn Games platform. You will prioritize recommending players to create their own preferred game type. You will also guide them according to the difficulty of production."

"This newbie guide is not bad. It is very detailed and is very suitable for players like me who have zero foundation. The threshold is lower than the official game editor."

"Alright, we have successfully created a field of grass in the game. However, the current field of grass only has a picture. It looks very unreal. Let us put a piece of realistic grass on it and a grass-eating sheep."

"Yes, not bad. It's perfect."

"In that case, our first game has been completed. Its name is called 'Goat Eats Grass'!"

"Players can walk around happily on this green grassland from the perspective of sheep. How rich is the gameplay?"

"However, relatively speaking, the content is still a little thin. Let us make a game of wolf invasion. Yes, but how should we increase the attacking movements of this wolf?"

"I understand, I understand. So that's what you did."

"Sigh, that's not right. I think I'm lacking something."

"Oh, I understand, I understand. That's enough."

"Eh, that's not right. There's a small problem."

"It's alright, don't panic, everyone. You have to be patient and meticulous in creating the game. Let us study it."

He studied it for an hour.

Qiao Liang scratched his head, feeling very confused seeing the mocking comments on the bullet screen.

"Something's not right. What did I want to do from the beginning?"

"I think he just wanted to add an attack to the wolf."

"What am I creating now?"

After struggling for a while, Qiao Liang silently clicked the button to close it. He also clicked 'save the project' on the dialog box.

Teacher Qiao's attempt to transit to an independent game designer failed in just one hour.
