Number One Game Designer

According to the market data of Honghu platform in late July detected by IGN crawlers, they were surprised to find that in the community market of Honghu platform in late July, more than 100 million orders were traded, with a total transaction value of more than 20 million US dollars. Hongyi will charge a 5% commission for community transactions. That is to say, Hongyi has earned a net profit of 1 million US dollars in half a month just relying on commissions outside the game of Left 4 Dead.

For half a month, without doing anything, Hongyi is equivalent to earning a million dollars lying down. This is a performance that many companies can hardly achieve by selling games as their main business. Hongyi once again used actions to make the surrounding companies Chaos: Can you make money without games? Many companies have been studying the operation mode of the Honghu platform overnight, and it seems that they will make a similar one within half a month.

Seeing this change, Hongyi's own executives were quite moved. Fang Xi had told them so many times in the previous meeting that Hongyi wanted to be a first-class company with standards. They all thought that Hongyi's previous success was due to Fang Xi's unique vision in the game, but until now, they didn't know what it means to plan ahead, what it means to strategize, and what it means to make a move.

It can be predicted that the data of one million dollars in the Honghu platform community market for half a month is far from the limit. Hongyi will have many other games in the future. The more games, the more players, the greater the transaction amount. The Honghu platform is real. A real hen that lays golden eggs.

However, Fang Xi and a group of executives only looked away from the community market of the Hongyi platform for a short time, because another masterpiece of Hongyi will be launched in August:

"Eternity" is officially open beta globally simultaneously!

Lu Tao suffered from insomnia during the last two sets at the end of July.

Why did Lu Tao come to Hongyi in the first place? Lu Tao himself almost lost his memory. He just felt that the self who stayed in Yinling seemed to be slowly rotting all the time. He played one game after another, and the preparation work was the same every time: refer to the previous year's For successful games, refer to the successful games of the previous year, and then refer to the successful games of the previous year. It seems that the names of Yinling's games have become more and more dazzling in the past few years, but if you tear off the coat, the internal things are the same. It's nothing more than the cloak of love, resentment and hatred, and a game. It's been a long time since Lu Tao was moved by playing a new game for the first time.

Until the graduation design competition unit of Haifang University, the game of Killing Planet, which is only 64KB, gave him a bright feeling. Later, in the conversation in the cafe, Fang Xi later said that this game is only for social security. There is no plot, no options, just choose all the enemies that appear in front of your eyes. Concise, refreshing, venting the depression in my heart, it is really friendly to Lu Tao.

Later, he watched this young man take over the company by himself, release page games quickly, and then collect money. He also felt familiar with the success of page games. He first saw his confident speech at Haifang University. There is an illusion that this person will change the game world, but now I know that this is not an illusion.

So he jumped ship without hesitation, seemingly reckless, but in fact Lu Tao had done a long time of ideological struggle, and finally he chose to respect his interest in games, even he felt that his years in Yinling were a waste of time, Nothing new.

Fang Xi is very good, he trusted him when he met Fang Xi, and then entrusted him with a heavy task: to develop a moba game that was unfamiliar to everyone, and it was during this process that Lu Tao gradually understood why Fang Xi so smart.

In addition to the endless ideas in his head, his biggest feature should be that he puts himself in the player's position. Every game demo is the first time to check.

Any bugs have repeatedly demanded that you put yourself in the position of the player, but think about when I was in Yinling, I was the director at the time, above me, no one touches the game every day, the board of directors, the president, the office of the general manager For those people, games are really just tools. Financial reports, dance parties, bars, and golf are what they care about. The country is like a leek field. Old players are tired of games and can’t make money. A new crop of players grew up, and then they were harvested again and again with the sickle called "old company" and "emotional masterpiece".

It was also in Hongyi that I found the feeling of a group of people optimizing the game time and time again just to improve the experience a little bit.

But in the process, Lu Tao gradually panicked instead.

When he was entrusted with "Eternal", Hongyi only had three web games at that time, and he seemed to be Fang Xi's biggest trump card at that time.

Fang Xi also said that at the time, "Eternal", one of the main projects of Hongyi in the future, will take on the main role of Honghu's global game layout in the future.

But at that time, Hongyi didn't even have an official end game. What Fang Xi said was more like a future goal. Of course, Lu Tao was full of confidence. up...

At the San Francisco Game Show, Lu Tao first saw Fang Xi's appealing ability and popularity in Europe and America, and then Portal was praised as a work of art by many game media. "Left 4 Dead" has created a myth in China, and it seems that it cannot be surpassed in the short term.

At the subsequent E3, Lu Tao once again saw the appeal of Hongyi, or Fang Xi, a company that has just entered the international market for half a year. The game project was used as the finale of the third day of E3, and it was because he made an exception for the first time at E3 to allow a session introduction Two software. starter

The new 81 Chinese website is updated the fastest. Computer side:

And in this case, as the launch time of "Eternal" is approaching step by step, Lu Tao is anxious like a mouse on the stove:

When the company was first established, what Fang Xi said could be regarded as a slogan, as a ten-year or even twenty-year goal, something like a slogan.

But now a year later, Fang Xi told him: What I told you back then is true, let's work on it!

How to play this kind of thing, it's like when everyone said together when they were young, I want to go to Tsinghua University, and he wants to go to Peking University.

As a result, the next day after you said this, your parents sent you to the examination room and told you: You have agreed to go to Tsinghua University, so you can’t go back on your word, come on~

In this case, Fang Xi also told Lu Tao that he had other things at the beginning of the month and asked Lu Tao to host the "Eternal" press conference by himself.

Lu Tao was sweating profusely.

Concern about making trouble probably refers to his mentality. If after coming to Hongyi, "Eternity" in charge of Lu Tao is the first client game to go online, then Lu Tao will not worry no matter what the results are.

But now that Fang Xi Zhuyu is in front, and compared to Fang Xi, he is still a veteran producer, so what if "Eternity" rushes... Lu Tao dare not think about it.

But no matter how hard Lu Tao struggled, the time was still ticking by. On the last day of July, the public beta press conference of Hong Yi's heart game "Eternal" is still here!
