It is expected that players will make interesting MODs or game maps with Aidan. If the quality of the game is good enough, it is completely possible to do one thing.

But there is a degree to this, that is whether the effort is directly proportional to the feedback you get.

Rely on your love to generate electricity for your favorite game, spend energy and money on it, and only get praise from players who love this game. Of course, if they are good enough, these MODs can also become a resume on your resume, for you Lay a certain foundation for future development.

But MOD creators who have reached such a level can be said to be rare, and more ordinary MOD creators just make it because they like to love a game.

In fact, for things like MOD, it is also a double-edged sword for manufacturers. Some manufacturers are very supportive of various MODs in the game, and even have special development tools for players to use. The MOD community is released under its own platform, so that players can upload their own MODs for everyone to download and find better.

But some manufacturers seem to hate MOD to death, and even want to stab the MOD creator to death with a knife. The main reason is.

That is, on the one hand, for game manufacturers, although MOD increases the lifespan of the game, from another perspective, the longer the lifespan of the game, the harder it is for players to migrate to new works, especially for a buyout system. for games.

Moreover, the improvement and improvement of the gameplay by a large number of MODs will continue to push up players' requirements for new games. All of this will increase the pressure and workload on game manufacturers to develop new games.

At the same time, MOD will not increase any income for game manufacturers, so some game manufacturers explicitly prohibit the appearance of various MODs.

But for Yang Chen, he very much hopes that the products under Nebula Games can be used as an evergreen tree without the pressure of shareholders' financial reports. The second and more important thing is that he and Xu Yu have a common From my point of view, if a game develops to a certain extent, the linkage benefits brought by its IP will be higher.

"We can't reduce the quality of MOD in the game to allow ordinary MOD producers to develop better. We need to provide them with a complete environment, and even allow them to obtain their due labor benefits through MOD." Yang Chen looked at everyone in the team and said.

Although the number of MOD enthusiasts is very large, every popular 3A game in the world has a terrifying number of MODs, but not all MODs can become classics.

And for MOD creators,

It is a dream story to let MOD play the classic power, and then let some big manufacturers fall in love with it, and even make it into an independent game.

There have been such examples, but basically you can’t count a single slap. At the same time, an excellent MOD requires a lot of energy from the creator, but the material return it brings is basically equal to zero.

In this environment, unless you love a game to the extreme, it is difficult to support the MOD creators to persist in the development, but the same MOD creators are also human beings who need to live. Enthusiasm and responsibility alone are not a long-term solution. , so all kinds of classic MODs face or have such a situation, and that is the lifetime series.

Months, even a year or two, or even longer to usher in a version update, or even no news after a certain period of time, or a MOD that has changed hands several times along the way, and even the core gameplay of the code has changed Change again, these are some things.

In the final analysis, it is mainly because MOD producers cannot generate electricity forever because of love.

"Provide the corresponding material library for MOD creators, just like the materials in the official game production engine used, we also provide various model materials that can be used in "Warcraft", according to the advantages and disadvantages of the maps of MOD producers, The fee-paying channel is open, and players have the right to experience several times for free, but after that, they need to purchase it to use it, and players who have not purchased it can enter the buyer's room for free prostitution after the use right ends." Yang Chen looked at it. Watching Wang Ye and everyone in the team talk about their ideas.

"There are no paid maps on the shelves. Every week we will select ten of the best maps and provide official funding subsidies."

Is it shameful to charge for MOD? It's not shameful, if you have to say it, it's actually like the box in "Survival Survival". From a certain point of view, this is also a MOD, or it's a DLC, but it's made by the official.

As for the MOD fee, the most critical thing is how much the MOD fee is charged, and the value of the MOD itself.

Listening to Yang Chen's words, Wang Ye and others showed bewildered and surprised expressions. They didn't understand what Yang Chen's thought meant at all.

Does this mean to turn MOD makers into their wage earners?

"Okay, let's go to work first, I'll discuss something with Mr. Xu." Looking at the expressions of Wang Ye and Yuan Ye, Yang Chen also knew that this idea came up suddenly, and it was probably difficult for them. After making a suggestion, he shook his head and turned around to go to Xu Yu's office to discuss it with Xu Yu.

The idea of ​​MOD charging is actually an idea that Yang Chen suddenly sprouted after seeing a platform called Orange Light in his dream memory and a creative workshop on a platform called Steam.

The former allows its creators to have material rewards and income. Of course, I won’t talk about the food, anyway, I can’t wait to charge for even a special voice.

However, ugly food is ugly, and its operation method makes Yang Chen feel refreshed. The official production tools include the materials provided by the official production tools, as well as the post-production mode, so that MOD creators have a material reward.

But also because of its increasingly ugly appearance, which has also led to subsequent development, it has been limited, and it is becoming more and more difficult to develop, and it is self-sufficient.

The latter's creative workshop on the Steam platform allowed Yang Chen to see how to manage its mods and classify the mods.

In "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", their official MOD community warehouse actually has a creative workshop mode, but it is still a lot worse in terms of integrity.

As for the MOD map derived from the map editor in "Warcraft", should there be a fee, so that the map creators who are good enough can have material gains and make them more enthusiastic about making maps, or just As a manager, just like in "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", Yang Chen didn't make a good decision for a while.

Although Yang Chen couldn't make up his mind about this business-related matter, he did understand one thing.

That is when he is not sure about the income issue, it is always right to discuss it with Xu Yu.

So, five minutes later, in Xu Yu's office, Xu Yu, who had just completed the report on the e-sports development plan of "Yu-Gi-Oh" and wanted to be silly for a while, looked at Yang Chen who pushed the door and entered, and sighed silently voice.
