"Let us welcome the IG team!"
When the IG team came on the stage, the roaring cheers and shouts made players from other countries realize that the Chinese audience at the scene had only cheered and applauded out of politeness.
For VR games, purely in terms of visual effects, the visual effects on site are not as strong as wearing a helmet at home.
To be honest, in terms of the visual effects of ordinary games, even if the finals are offline, the effect is not as good as lying at home watching a tablet or computer.
Why do so many spectators go to watch the game live? Do you need to grab tickets for popular events?
Because of the atmosphere at the scene, you are surrounded by game enthusiasts like you. Everyone is happy, angry, sad, and happy because of the same things, which brings a sense of recognition and excitement far beyond offline.
Although the visual effects offline are not as good as online, they are incomparable in other aspects.
Chen Ran and Chen Chi also contributed to this game, and some of the game designs are from their hands.
Looking at the enthusiastic audience, Chen Ran felt both proud and fearful.
I am proud that this game has my own contribution to it, and I am afraid of the strong operating capabilities of the Goose Factory.
The first competition can create such a momentum. The quality of the game itself and the strong operation of Goose Factory complement each other.
Chen Chi glanced at Chen Ran, who had a stern look on his face and was tense all over, and comforted him:
"Brother Ran, I just came to watch the game today to relax. Don't think too much. We usually work hard enough."
“No matter how successful the Apocalypse is, the overlap between our project and the target customer groups of the Apocalypse is very low.”
"What's more, we have accumulated some fans now, so we don't have to worry too much."
Chen Ran and his team decided to name their project "The Feather of Breaking Laws", which tells the story of the revival of spiritual energy in the late Ming Dynasty. Against this background, players need to experience various strange events during the bizarre Apocalypse years.
The main plot is to decipher the Wanggong Factory explosion that occurred in the southwest corner of Yanjing City in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, saving the lives of more than 20,000 citizens.
The game's setting is mediocre, and it's not even considered novel in today's booming entertainment industry.
Just looking at the project, most investors will make the judgment that the investment is high and the risk is high.
But when Red Fox Studio, founded by Chen Ran and his colleagues, released its first promotional video, it quickly aroused heated discussion in the console gaming circle.
The promotional CG effects are so good that their realism is considered top-notch in the world.
Players have expectations, but they dare not expect too much. They have been cheated by domestic game manufacturers for so many years.
There are many companies that make CG with their heart and make games with their hands.
From a purely CG animation perspective, there is no doubt that Red Fox Studio is capable.
But there is not a strong correlation between having the ability and whether what you create is a good game.
Moreover, most players are skeptical about an entrepreneurial game studio that they have never heard of.
The entrepreneurial team of Black Myth Wukong has worked on Crimson Tide, and the core team has worked on God of War before.
Red fox is a mystery to the outside world.
Chen Ran and the others played a CG animation, ran the company's Weibo, Douyin, Bilibili and other accounts, and posted a few renderings from time to time to stimulate the players, but then nothing happened.
Until recently, after half a year of polishing, Red Fox Studio released a live demonstration video on Weibo and Bilibili, which quickly detonated the gaming circle.
Players don’t believe the so-called real-machine demonstration animations of mobile games, but the real-machine demonstration animations of console games are still very credible.
After all, in China's console game circle, the reputation of players is very important. If you get the wrong version, there will be a bunch of one-star negative reviews waiting for you on the game shelves.
"The Feather of the Breaking Law" is a console game that was first released on VR, so the actual demonstration animation is only in the VR version.
The real-machine demonstration screen effect is ahead of all current VR games, allowing players to directly raise their expectations.
"Just this picture alone makes me so excited."
"This effect is even better than Black Myth. The immersion of Cthulhu is too strong."
“The most important thing is that the art style has Chinese architectural style, but the natural scenery in the demonstration screen can clearly feel the weird flavor of Western fantasy.
The combination of the two does not feel abrupt, but feels like it was born this way.
The main beauty of Red Fox is definitely the best among the best. I don’t know which one of the best in the industry they have hired. "
"The game mechanics look a bit similar to Diablo's plus points, and the fighting scenes are relatively conventional. With such excellent graphics, as long as the plot is done more carefully, it will definitely be a masterpiece."
After the real-machine demonstration animation was released, Red Fox Studio still maintained a mysterious style and did not accept any media interviews.
Hunger marketing is done to the extreme.
If the media can’t find out who is behind Red Fox Studio, why can’t major companies find out?
Goose Factory quickly dug out the founding team behind Red Fox Studio.
After all, most of their team came from the Goose Factory and still keep in touch with their former colleagues.
"I'll send you a good thing. You can open it on VR station B and take a look. It's absolutely amazing."
"Hey, I thought it was something, but it turned out to be this."
"This is the most popular console game in the industry recently. It has been viewed more than one million times on site B. A certain up owner converted this video into a flat format and uploaded it to the regular version of site B. The number of views on the mobile terminal has exceeded 10 million. .
This beauty is so awesome, and the visual effect is really strong. "
"Ah, the main beauty is Tracy."
"Tracy before you teamed up? Yes, you went to the same company. Is this a product made by your company?"
"Yeah, we teamed up with me and Tracy, and we're in Red Fox now."
"You're really lucky. You participated in the production of this project. You might be a veteran of a major game company.
Tracy didn’t have this ability back then. From what I know about her, she is at least a little behind the level of art in your live demonstration video.
If she has this level, Goose Factory will definitely not let her go easily. "
"Won't people make progress?"
"Come on, it's not that easy to make progress in the art field. We are all veterans, so don't fool me.
Those who can make progress will be able to see their potential within a year of joining. She had worked in the Goose Factory for more than three years. If she had this potential, Lao Wu would have developed it long ago. "
"Okay, okay, we have foreign aid in art, and we hired giant figures from Europe and the United States to do the selection and style integration."
"I'm telling you, you still want to fool me! Are you still short of people? I'll come over and join you."
"We are in need of people. We have been recruiting people. You have seen the CG animation and live demo video of Law Breaker. The investment in this game is comparable to that of a AAA masterpiece. There is definitely a shortage of people.
Moreover, we want to make VR platform games. There are very few people with VR development experience in China, and most of them are in big companies.
The treatment we give is no less than that of a goose factory, and the work location is in Guancheng. If you want to join me, I will help you make a referral.
Our current boss is Lao Chen, Chen Ran, you should know him. "
Why employees in large factories are keen to recommend people is not because they want to form cliques, but because the people they recommend successfully join the company after passing the interview, and they can get a head fee.
This amount of money depends on the rank of the referral, and can be up to more than 100,000.
The rewards are still very generous, and there are people in big factories who can earn more than their normal salary through this.
As Chen Ran was an employee of Goose Factory, and the Red Fox Studio was indeed short of people, they also learned this mechanism.
"We know each other. We have chatted several times before. Chen Ran has a broad vision and has his own unique understanding of the game.
It's not surprising that he leads the team. I always thought that Chen Ran just lacked an opportunity.
Help me push inside, I really want to move. "
Some people want to go to Red Fox, and some people are unwilling to move and tell their bosses after learning the news.
The news was revealed like this.
Goose Factory quickly learned that the production team of "The Feather of Breaking Law" is basically the people of Goose Factory.
Originally, the investment department of the Goose Factory had sufficient budget every year and had to get rid of all these ammunition.
Even in today's stagflation era, as the de facto monopoly in China's social field, Goose Factory has less funds available for investment, but it is still huge.
Moreover, with the success of science and technology innovation in the future, Goose Factory's investment department will have more authority to invest in some companies with real core values.
This time Chen Ran and Chen Chi came to Pengcheng and were able to obtain tickets to the finals so smoothly because of the instructions from the Goose Factory executives.
They wanted to take the opportunity to chat with Chen Ran and achieve their goal of investing in shares.
"Kid survived. Kid relied on the Apollo's Bow to take advantage of the terrain in the Fora Cave to kill all two remaining members of FAZE!"
"Yes, kid lived to the end, and the IG team became the winner of the last round. They fought to the end."
"Since then, after a month of competition, IG has won the first "Hero's Doomsday" Global Finals Daily Cup with the first place in the total score!"
"It's really not easy. The strength of the four teams in the finals is very close. IG has some luck in winning the championship, but the decisive factor must be their own strong strength."
"FAZE's performance in the final round was a bit abnormal. Why did they run to the Vula cave? They could have dealt with the kid outside."
"Perhaps he wants to find the divine fire. After all, the kid is holding a divine weapon. Even if he fights two against one, he is not sure of victory."
"It's just that they didn't expect Kid's last two arrows to be so accurate, which didn't give them any chance of survival."
"I think it was Zeyuan who said that FAZE had the best chance of winning the championship when he was commentating on the last game. Later in the finals, the two remaining players started leaking milk from their keyboards."
"You can't blame me for this. The first three rounds of competition, including FAZE's performance in the European League this year, are indeed the best.
It can only be said that winning the championship in e-sports requires a combination of strength and luck. "
"The principal smiled very proudly."
"Definitely, after all, what IG won this time is not only China's first finals championship trophy, but also the first global hero doomsday project finals championship trophy."
"Yes, and it was witnessed by 30,000 spectators at the scene and tens of millions of spectators in front of the screen."
This level of attention is much more valuable than the championship of League of Legends S1.
When League of Legends Season 1 was played, there were only dozens of people watching the game. No one in the audience at that time could have imagined that just five years later, the same game would be watched by tens of thousands of people.
Chen Ran couldn't help but sigh: "This is the fun of e-sports. No wonder it is endless fun to compete with others."
"Our next game will also be a PVP game, and I also want to create a similar ecosystem."
Chen Chi said: "In fact, we can create a series of games around the feather of breaking magic."
"We can create different types of games around world views and plots."
"Blizzard's World of Warcraft world has created a series of classic works, and DOTA2 comes from Blizzard's world view."
"We can definitely take a similar approach."
"The revival of spiritual energy in the late Ming Dynasty can become a very rich world view, and we can slowly fill in its details."
"The spiritual energy is revived, different historical trends are deduced, and different collisions between East and West."
"Extracting one of these aspects is enough to make a PVP game."
Not only does Blizzard create games around the same world view, Riot also does the same and has been making different types of games around LOL.
Assassin's Creed, The Elder Scrolls, these are all.
It's just that the series of games built around the World of Warcraft world are the most successful.
After watching the game, the friend who helped them get tickets for the finals invited Chen Ran and Chen Chi to dinner.
Chen Ran's friend complained to him that there would be uninvited guests this time.
"Brother Ran, Levi, the executive director of the Goose Factory Investment Department, will also attend tonight's dinner."
"Who is Levi? This name sounds familiar, but I don't think I've seen him before."
"Levi is an executive in the investment department who specializes in game investment. He heard that you and I know each other and we are going to have dinner together in the evening, so he specifically asked him to be invited.
I really can't put it down.
As for the purpose of his coming to this dinner, I think you should know it very well.
Red Fox Studio has been so popular recently, it is completely popular. As a famous hyena in the gaming industry, Goose Factory will definitely not let go of this opportunity.
I really can't shirk it, after all, he is my boss's boss.
If he comes to our dinner, whatever he says, you just treat it as farts, and we eat ours.
Then tomorrow I will ask you to rub it again alone. "
Goose Factory’s own employees do not shy away from criticizing their own company.
After all, the employees who can work in Goose Factory have gone through multiple interviews, and most of them have a love for games.
If you have a passion for games, you will naturally be dissatisfied with the series of operations of Goose Factory.
During the dinner, Hao Rui did not mention investing in Red Fox Studio at all. Instead, he shared interesting stories from his career.
The other thing is to share the success or failure experiences of some of the projects I have invested in with Chen Ran, because Chen Ran is also in the entrepreneurial stage.
Anyone who can become a senior executive of a goose factory, whether in the investment department or not, is an excellent person.
After finishing the meal, Chen Ran felt like a spring breeze, chatting and eating happily.
After eating, the four of them went to the tea room to drink tea before getting down to business.
After Chen Ran's friend called Chen Chi away, Hao Rui went directly to the topic:
"Ryan, your project has great potential. Spellbreaker is the most promising VR game I have ever seen.
But there is still some distance between potential and success. "
