Chapter 233(2/2)
"What do you think?"
Cao Yang asked Meng Xiao.
After all, he puts the most effort into this game.
When Cao Yang had no time, Meng Xiao was the leader of the entire Warcraft team. Although this young man had just graduated for a year, he had become quite mature after this period of training.
Seeing that Meng Xiao didn't say anything, Cao Yang suddenly remembered something and said, "Don't be psychologically stressed. Even if you send Warcraft back to the United States, you can go to other project teams. I think you have grown up quite fast this year.
Everyone sees your current abilities.
Go to other studios for another year and you can bring your own project.”
Cao Yang said this, in fact, to relieve Meng Xiao of psychological burden, and to encourage him, telling him that you are already very capable now and will be the main planner appointed by me in the future. You can make it by yourself if you want to do your own project.
This is the opportunity that many people dream of.
So far, there are actually no more than 5 people who can establish projects and become the main planners within Bomi.
Meng Xiao thought for a moment, held the teacup, gritted his teeth, "Mr. Cao, if possible, I actually want to choose 2."
"Um?"
Li Lanyun and Cao Yang turned their heads to look at him at the same time.
"I mean," Meng Xiao paused for a moment and said, "Although this game is not original, we have taken over it for so long. Everyone has feelings for Warcraft.
Where did Lao Yang and Ma Tianyuan play battles every day? We had a lot of fun. We really love this game."
Li Lanyun's body was shocked.
Oh my God!
Meng Xiao, are you stupid?
If you say this, you openly play games during work hours and want to keep the project, isn’t this going to be a loser?
The boss thinks that when you go to work and play games like this, how can you feel at ease to let you do projects?
Li Lanyun blinked his eyes desperately.
Unfortunately, Meng Xiao didn't see it. He just looked down at his cup, "I think we can make this game well, and we have the confidence to develop future expansion packs or war4."
Cao Yang didn't say anything, he just lowered his head and thought.
Warcraft is a very special game, which is different from other stand-alone games.
It is a competitive game.
Competitive games need to be connected to the Internet, fight, keep the version stable, and ensure numerical balance.
Every year, many people play Warcraft competitions on WCG.
War3 this year is similar to the future League of Legends.
Competitive games require the stability of the version and also need to add new things to it so that they can last forever.
Cao Yang, who had experienced all this in his previous life, knew-
The decline of war3 is actually an inevitable result.
Warcraft requires too many units to operate each player. One formation requires about 8 to 10 units. You also have to operate the heroes at the same time, the second team, and the third team...
The number of units that need to be operated is as high as dozens.
So even if it is an APM like Lao Yang with a 120, its hand speed is still slow among professional players.
But for dota and League of Legends players, APM75 is enough.
Because future moba players only need to control their own unit.
The operation is complicated and the threshold is high. This is the disadvantage of war3's decline and the reason why it is replaced by MOBA games in the future.
Something that will inevitably happen.
Cao Yang was thinking, is it necessary to save it?
Or can we start developing future MOBA games now?
Use Warcraft IP to create a future League of Legends?
or……
Can you continue to let Warcraft shine and heat up in the past or two years?
Cao Yang himself was also a little confused.
"boss!"
It was at this moment that Meng Xiao suddenly pounded the table, which scared Cao Yang.
When he raised his head, he found that there was something more in the eyes of Meng Xiao, a young man who was about the same age as him.
A ball of fire.
He said, "Boss, I can't prove anything now, but I still hope you can hand over this project to me and give me a team. I want to continue Warcraft."
Cao Yang was stunned for a moment and stared at his eyes for a long time.
Li Lanyun next to him was very nervous.
He actually likes Meng Xiao, a child, because he is very smart. He graduated from the Department of Mathematics at Qing Dynasty University and has strong abilities. Even if he is not in the Warcraft project team and changes to any other studio, he can serve as the main game value.
So Li Lanyun felt that there was no need to be so irritated with the boss.
If Boss Cao thinks you are too aggressive, and the newcomer who just arrived is talking big and thinks you are flashy, it will be troublesome.
Li Lanyun opened her mouth, preparing to say something for Meng Xiao...
But Boss Cao laughed.
"Very good, that's what I want to hear today. OK, you can continue to lead the team to develop Warcraft, Brother Yun finds someone for him."
Li Lanyun and Meng Xiao both said at the same time: "Hey?"
...
"That's how I think." Cao Yang said.
Due to the influence of the late outbreak of the frozen throne, the ice frog has not yet developed the ALLSTAR series map of dota.
In the Chaos Rule version before war3, there is indeed a dota map, but it has not been improved yet.
Dota, the oldest moba game in the world, can be called the ancestor of moba. If it becomes really popular, it will only slowly spread after icefrog, that is, ice frog takes over.
Even if Dota appears, Cao Yang is not very worried.
Because war3 has a treaty that says this:
Any game developed through the war3 editor that uses the war3 character image, the copyright belongs to the owner of war3, namely Bomi Company.
So even if Ice Frog successfully brings Dota to the fire, then the copyright of Dota is Bomi.
Some people are engaged in future development for Bomi, but Boss Cao is unlucky.
The next one to two years will be a blowout period for war3 editor maps, and all the copyrights of maps made with war3 editor will belong to Bomi.
...
It will take about two years to start from the rise of Dota to the decline of Warcraft, and to the complete replacement of Warcraft by Dota.
Now Bomi can take advantage of these two years to let Warcraft shine and burn the last small universe.
So after seeing Meng Xiao's determination, Cao Yang already had his own choice.
He chose to hand over the development power of Warcraft to Meng Xiao within these two years, hoping that he could make Warcraft more brilliant for a while.
After Meng Xiao finished making this product, it will be time to develop the next generation of moba in two years.
"That's how I think," Cao Yang said, "There is a very different thing from other project teams. It is not suitable to put it in any studio group. First, it will be used to set up a Warcraft studio, and then this part will be used as a derivative product of Warcraft.
If we can grow bigger in the future, we will set up the studio as a studio group, focusing on Western magic series, so that the distinction between products and positioning is higher."
Since you have made up your mind to do it, you have to play the biggest one.
Bomi is not short of this money.
"That's great, thank you boss." Meng Xiao burst into tears of gratitude to Cao Yang.
Cao Yang just smiled.
When Meng Xiao's emotions recovered a little, he did not mean to let the two of them leave the office, but said:
"Don't leave now, so let me tell you my thoughts on the next new product of Warcraft."
"Yeah." Li Lanyun and Meng Xiao nodded, sat back on the chair, silently holding the teacup.
Compared to when she first entered the office, Meng Xiao seemed much more relaxed now.
Cao Yang looked at them and smiled, "My idea is to add another race to Warcraft, and we will be the fifth race."
"ha?!"
Meng Xiao almost sprayed a mouthful of tea.
Chapter completed!
