Chapter 405 402. This time I really lost to Blizzard(2/2)
"Yes, that's it." Cao Yang said with a smile, "I don't have high requirements for them. As long as Bomi Miguo can make the products in his hands and retain these 400,000 core users."
If the cost can be kept, it would be good to sell 400,000 copies per year, which is a great thing for both the development team and the hardcore players.
Some people like this kind of niche game, just like some people are born to like fat people.
This is probably true love.
...
"By the way, do you know how many copies of Blizzard's "Diablo 3" sold?" Cao Yang asked.
Well……
Li Lanyun hesitated for a moment, and it was really hard to speak out. Finally, he said, "This time, Blizzard's "Dark 3" sold very well. I think it was just released last month, about three weeks later than our "Road to Exile". Now the global sales have exceeded 10 million copies."
"What!?"
Cao Yang himself was also shocked, "10 million copies, so many?"
"Yes," Li Lanyun nodded, "It is said that it was quite popular as soon as it came out, and countless players were following it, so the final sales were very good. This momentum is still continuing, and it is said that it is very hopeful to exceed 20 million copies."
Damn...
Cao Yang frowned in discomfort.
However, it seems reasonable to think about it carefully. After all, the quality of Dark 3 developed by Blizzard is very high. Although it is a brainless game, the gameplay depth is not much, it has a good sense of impact and strong expressiveness, which can especially cater to the preferences of the majority of players.
In addition, it is a work developed by Blizzard. From Diablo 2 in 2002, players have been waiting for 6 years this year. The squeezed expectation and related publicity will inevitably lead to the popularity of "Diablo 3".
and……
What makes Cao Yang most uncomfortable is that this time, Blizzard Dark 3 brought "The Road to Exile" as a foil, making Dark 3 more valuable.
Speaking of the path to exile, Cao Yang still had a little regret in his heart.
After all, at last year's Bomi International Electronic Arts Exhibition, the performance of the road to exile was even more effective than Blizzard's "Diablo 3".
Judging from the market feedback now, Bomi should have lost.
Fortunately, Cao Yang did not pay attention to the relevant news, so he knew what foreign media are talking about now.
Blizzard relied on Diablo 3 to prove itself again, and Bomi Company suffered a tragic defeat of Waterloo and other things.
I felt heartbroken when I thought about it.
Fortunately, we still have World of Warcraft.
And after this time, these development teams such as Bomi and Miguo should be able to learn their lessons, right? At least they will look at the market and other things.
Cao Yang is still considering whether to reap the future Hearthstone.
...
"By the way, our Bomma International Electrical Exhibition should have an invitation this year, right? It's already April now, and it's too late to prepare if you don't prepare." Cao Yang raised his head and asked.
"Well," Li Lanyun said with a smile, "It has been prepared for a long time. Wang Hanyang continues to organize this year's Bomma International Electrical Exhibition. The venue is still in Wukesong, which is from July 3 to July 10 this year, which lasts for 7 days.
The main reason for choosing this time period is to be staggered from CJ on the 12th and the Olympic Games to be held in August.”
Oh, yes, Cao Yang then remembered that this summer is the 2008 Imperial Capital Olympics.
The same world, the same dream, this Olympic Games is the first time that China has held and it is also the largest Olympic Games in history in the world.
At this Olympics, China conquered the world with its strong strength and beautiful Chinese culture.
This Olympics is also an excellent opportunity for major manufacturers to show themselves.
Cao Yang later had to discuss the Bomi publicity plan for the Olympics with various departments. These things should have been arranged last year, and the final follow-up result was relatively vague.
...
"Then both products, "Shan Hai Jing·Breath of Flame" and "Assassin's Soul·Mo Shu", have been completed and have met the release standards. The Shan Hai Jing should be released next month, and "Assassin's Soul·Mo Shu" is scheduled to July.
"Mecha Girl" is now very complete and is expected to be completed by June, so it will be ready for release in September.
But I'm considering whether to let Minecraft appear first."
Li Lanyun said, "Although "Minecraft" is launched late, the project progress is very fast and the completion rate is relatively high. Bomi Interactive Entertainment may rank it ahead of "Mecha Girl", which is to be launched in September, and then postponed "Mecha Girl" to November. However, in this way, the Mecha Girl project team will be idle for a long time, so the next game product can be arranged in advance."
The main reason why "Minecraft" is done quickly is that-
This is a pixel-style game, which basically consists of square grids one by one. The workload of art needs to be done is quite small, and many art resources are used on stickers.
Moreover, for programs, "Minecraft" is more inclined to be a game editor, which is simple and easy to use in development, and basically does not require much manual labor, so it is quite fast to do it.
“Hey?”
When he heard the name My World, Cao Yang's eyes lit up, "How is the completion of "Minecraft" now? I want to take a look."
Chapter completed!
