Rewrite the Technological Landscape

The failure of Symbian is largely due to the problem of his system itself, so as long as IOS and Android do not appear in advance, Meng Qian's heart is still set.

However, a piece of news on December 8, 2000 surprised Meng Qian again. History has changed again.

After being attacked by Fengxin, Penguin had no news for a while, but on this day, Penguin broke the news that they actually represented a game: "Millennium".

Historically, "Millennium" is an online game that entered China earlier than "Legend". People who have experienced that era should have an impression of this game. There is no such grand occasion as "Legend".

But what many people may not know is that "Millennium" was actually developed by Actoz.

That is the development company of "Legend 1".

Seeing this news, Meng Qian quickly entered memory mode. If he remembered correctly, the first game that Penguin represented in history was "Triumph", probably in 2003, after the "Legend" became popular.

However, as a big game player in later generations, Penguin's agent "Triumph" was obviously a failure. It is estimated that many people may not know that Penguin also represented such a game.

Thinking about it this way, Meng Qian suddenly understood the scene in front of him. When he saw Shanda's "Legend" became popular, Penguin immediately went to represent "Triumph". No wonder.

The official public beta of "Millennium" in China was at the beginning of 2001, which is very similar to history.

However, just two days after the news that Penguin represented "Millennium" came out, on December 10, 2000, another news broke out,

Yalian Games will represent Koryo's "Red Moon", and the public test time will also be in early 2001.

The three major online games in Koryo in history, "Legend", "Red Moon", and "Millennium" are going to meet in advance.

However, not all games are ahead of schedule. Meng Qian's random entry also triggered the delay of a game entering China, that is, "Dark Light" that entered China in November 2000 in history.

"Light of Darkness" had vowed to shine in China at the beginning, but it failed in the end.

In this life, the entry of "Light of Darkness" into China has been delayed, perhaps due to the failure of "Legend" and some adjustments to the game. The specific reason is unknown to Meng Qian.

And on December 12, 2000, the news that "Dark Light" entered China also appeared in the media.

"Three Koryo online games are entering China at the same time?" On the afternoon of December 12th, Meng Qian sat in his office and rubbed his chin, deep in thought. "Could it be that they want to work together to carve up the China market?"

The real situation is definitely impossible to guess by guessing. Meng Qian took out a pen and paper and began to make a simple analysis of the current game market.

Now in the Chinese game market, "Legend of God" is obviously the undoubted leader. Thanks to its huge investment, "Legend" has finally harvested more than 5 million registrations. The free period has been directly extended to three months.

Another online game that has a certain market in China is the "King of Kings" that was very popular in history. Unfortunately, the appearance of "Shen Biography" made "King of Kings" unable to reappear in this life. It continued to be brilliant, but in this era of rare online games, "King of Kings" still gained a certain number of players.

Especially the online game environment created by "The Legend of God" is good for other online games.

However, once it was able to fight against "King of Kings", "Three Kingdoms on the Internet" launched in September 2000, its performance in this life is indeed a bit dismal.

Then there is the overall situation of competitive games. The emergence of online games must have suppressed the popularity of competitive games to a certain extent, but the suppression is not very great. After all, there are two types of games.

There are still many people playing games such as Warcraft and CS.

Looking at the future, the three games of Koryo will come in soon, plus the already existing "Legend", that will be four games. Regardless of whether there is any intention to cooperate with Koryo, it will definitely achieve a certain diversion of players. .

However, what Meng Qian is more concerned about now is not the four games on Goryeo, but the "Stone Age" that will be logged in China next month.

The "Stone Age" released in 1999 entered the Chinese mainland in January 2001, and it is still the same in this life.

It goes without saying how popular "Stone Age" was back then.

The reason why Meng Qian is worried about "Stone Age" is that the games of Goryeo are after all similar to "Shen Biography" with similar painting style and similar gameplay. It is difficult to surpass "Shen Biography".

But the painting style of "Stone Age" is different from the gameplay, and it's hard to predict what kind of results will happen.

Looking at the names of these games written on the paper, Meng Qian tapped his pen on the table, and finally his eyes fell on "King of Kings".

Ten minutes later, Song Zhenluo, Shi Xueyi, Ruan Yongkang, Fu Qinyi, Chu Binhong and Sun Xiaojing gathered in Meng Qian's office for a meeting.

"I know that everyone's hearts are slowly drifting towards the New Year, but there is one thing that has to be put on the agenda. I will tell you the situation first, and if there are any difficulties, I will raise them later."

Meng Qian went straight to the topic, "There will be three Goryeo games and one Neon game coming to China soon after the year, everyone should know that, right?"

All ordered.

"Do you have confidence in our "Biography of God"?"

"Yes!" Everyone said in unison.

"really have?"

"really have!"

"Okay, if you really have confidence, I want you to do one thing now. Next year, we will push our "Legend of God" to Korea and Neon."

Everyone was taken aback, Meng Qian looked at the expressions of several people, and said in a deep voice, "What? Don't you have confidence?"

"Of course I have confidence!" Song Zhenluo affirmed, and the emotions of the others returned to normal because of his answer.

Meng Qian nodded and continued, "It's still the same sentence, although Korea and Neon Kingdom have more experience in game development than us, it's not a problem, we just focus on doing ourselves well.

If a game wants to enter other countries, changes are inevitable, and game operation is even more critical.

This time, we chose to export to Neon Country and Korea Country first. The very important reason is that we are all Asian countries, and we have advantages in cultural understanding and character image resonance. But you know that sooner or later we will enter Omega market.

So now I arrange the work, the operation department and the promotion department do two things, first, go to the two countries to select suitable game agents, second, to understand, dig deep, and analyze the game environment, cultural environment and player characteristics of the two countries And give the game modification plan for the two countries, including the game itself and the operation strategy.

My current idea in the technical department is to separate the two groups of you, one is in charge of Fengxin and the other is in charge of games, so that everyone can focus more on their work. As for who wants to take over the game, I will give you a result after a private chat. , As for what you have to do, it is very clear.

During this period of time, the language system will be fixed first, and then the game modification and adjustment will be started immediately after the plans of the operation department and the promotion department come out.

The same is true for the art department, which is also based on plans to modify the screen and character design, but in terms of art, you are more professional, so I hope you can spend time now to understand the relevant situations of the two countries.

At that time, give them more meaningful opinions and suggestions, and Manager Ruan and Manager Chu should also communicate more with the art department.

"Okay." The three responded at the same time.

"Then let me talk about the time node. January 24th is the Spring Festival. I hope to complete at least a beta version of the game modification before the end of the year. After the year, I will finalize the game agent, complete the establishment of foreign servers and related audit issues. In the first half of next year , I want to see "The Legend of God" appear in Koryo and Neon.

Finally, it is time for feedback, and any difficulties are brought up. "

Everyone looked embarrassed, but no one spoke. Because they are used to Meng Qian's high demands, but working under such high demands, the growth and money rewards they get make them feel that everything is worth it.

"Are you sure there is no problem?"

Meng Qian asked again, but still no one spoke.

"Okay, let's start working, and let me know the results from the technical department."

"Okay." Everyone left Meng Qian's office.

After everyone left, Meng Qian walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at the distant sky, "This first step must be taken steadily. The meaning of my rebirth is not for the sake of internal fighting."
