Reborn on the Internet: Starting with Games

Chapter 415 Sheep Knife and Ice Frog

Chen Hao is a decent person, and it would be rude to leave rashly. He casually asked some more curious questions.

"Where did you get your initial capital? Angel investment?"

"It's nowhere to be found. We asked for it from home." After saying this, Mark was still a little embarrassed.

Chen Hao was a little surprised. Hey, there was also an unexpected gain. He didn't expect that the two of them were from rich families, so disrespectful.

“If there is investment, where are you going to spend it?”

"Hiring people and improving the current game."

"Don't you plan to change places first?"

"Improve the game first, then think about other things"

"So is this game what you want to do?"

"Well, that's probably the case, but we feel like we're still close, but we can't say exactly how close we are."

Chen Hao already knew everything he wanted to know. He patted his butt and prepared to leave. "Okay, I have a general understanding of your situation. We will contact you after we go back to study it!"

Mark and Brandon quickly stood up and said goodbye, "Hey, great, I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate!"

After the other party and his group left, the two of them whispered to each other on the way back.
"Do you think there will be any drama this time?"

"Who knows? Just leave it to fate. It won't work this time. There will be plenty of opportunities at the developer conference in two months. Don't think so much. The game is the most important thing, isn't it?"

"ok, I know."

Sheep Knife and Ice Frog are two people that moba games cannot get around.

In 2004, Yang Dao became the producer of Dota and began a series of drastic reforms.

It includes a map with a determined three-way army line, an equipment synthesis system, a Roshan BOSS, and more than 60 classic heroes designed for Dota.

It can be said that Yangdao is the founder of the DOTA online game.

Ice Frog is another great master who has thoroughly promoted DOTA.

Unfortunately, the two parted ways due to different gaming concepts.

Yang Dao believes that there are currently two huge and unsolvable dilemmas in DOTA.

One is the poor development environment: DOTA does not have its own independent client, and everything is built on the Warcraft 3 engine.Matchmaking, guidance, and new gameplay mechanics are all difficult to implement, which leads to the second problem!

There is no way to make money: they have worked so hard to make MODs (game mods, which change the original content of the game and extend more gameplay). Legally, it is Blizzard’s intellectual property. Developers can’t make a dime. They are all covered. Blizzard made money...

In the end, the two friends broke up on bad terms. The unrestrained Yang Dao's attitude on this matter was exactly the same as when he took over DOTA, and he wanted to start over!A big break!He chose to put aside the IP of DOTA and recreate his ideal game.

Later, Yang Dao directly served as the chief designer of Riot Games, creating League of Legends, a globally popular MOBA online game that has lasted for more than ten years.

On the other hand, Ice Frog still has illusions about Blizzard. He had been in contact with Blizzard and wanted Blizzard to independently develop a DOTA game using a new engine.

But because Blizzard maintained its traditional virtues of arrogance and arrogance at the time, it felt that you just used an open source engine I opened to you to make an RPG map. You, Ice Frog, are just a small program technician, and now you dare to follow I make demands.

Mainly because Blizzard's top management at the time ignored the mobile market and did not realize the importance of DOTA's status. At the same time, in order to promote Blizzard's SC2 (StarCraft 2), they asked Ice Frog to transplant DOTA to the SC2 engine. Bingwa felt that this was just a change of the soup but not the medicine, and did not solve the fundamental problem, so the talks collapsed.

Then I found V Club and created a new DOTA2.

The fundamental reason why Chen Hao didn't plan to talk in depth was that after checking the information of Riot employees just now, he discovered a very serious matter.At this time, the Yang Dao did not join the fist.

Does Chen Hao care about fists?No!
What he cares about is the sheep knife and the ice frog.

A fist without a sheep's knife has no soul.

With these two people in charge of Glory of Heroes and Alliance of Gods respectively, he doesn't have to worry about game quality at all.

Although he can handle these two games by himself, after all, he is the boss and not the boss of a department. The boss's job is to take over the job of the shopkeeper. He still knows this position very well.

In the next period of time, Chen Hao surfed the Internet abroad and stayed in various Dota forums, looking for the two great gods.

The sheep knife is easy to find, but the ice frog is hard to find.

The hard work paid off, and after inquiring and contacting many parties, Chen Hao finally contacted Yang Dao.

After finding the sheep knife, can the ice frog be far away?
One day in mid-September, Chen Hao finally made an appointment with the two of them to meet at a Starbucks.

Chen Hao understands technology better than games. After some free chat, the three of them had a very harmonious chat atmosphere.

Sometimes people are just like that. For example, during an interview, if the two people have similar auras, you can still get an offer even if you don't meet the individual requirements. On the contrary, even if your resume and skills are extremely good, there is no chance if you don't talk about it.

At this time, he discovered that the two people on the opposite side had already had differences on the current development of Dota. Chen Hao was in the middle of the fight, playing both sides, and saying good things to both sides.

"Actually, we have also encountered disagreements about the issues you mentioned, such as positive and negative, and this is how we solved it at that time." Chen Hao described the general situation of the disagreements within the team at that time, and the two of them were surprised. At first glance.

Then Chen Hao said mysteriously, "Move over, I'll show you something good."

After speaking, Chen Hao took Yang Dao and Ice Frog to a conference room in a nearby hotel. He asked his assistant to bring him a laptop, opened it and played two live game demonstration videos.

Chen Hao admitted that both Yang Dao and Ice Frog were geniuses, but when he took out the Glory of Heroes and the Alliance of Gods, how should they deal with it.

The two of them did not respond, or even reacted. After the video was played for a long time, they were still a little stunned. It took a long time to come back to their senses and exclaimed, "Oh, the cake seller!!!"

Yangdao is eyeing the glory of heroes, while Ice Frog is eyeing the Alliance of Gods.

"I wonder if these two games can be used by two people?"

The two of them looked a little excited, nodding like chickens pecking at rice, with fiery eyes.

Not only was it exciting, it was deeply felt in my heart.Although the game video just lasted only a few minutes, it was just a glimpse. With their sensitivity to games, they could clearly understand the influence of these two games.

"Actually, I should thank you two. Without the emergence of Dota, we would not have the inspiration to make such a game. Both of these games have grown up on the shoulders of the giant DOTA.

In fact, you should be able to tell from these two games that Heroes of Glory is more entertainment-oriented and League of Gods is more competitive.It is very suitable for the development route we just talked about. "

"Do you have more specific game information? Oh, please understand that no game producer can resist the temptation of this game." Yang Dao, who has a straightforward and unrestrained personality, seemed a little impatient, and then realized that his request might be too abrupt. He seemed a little embarrassed again.

"If you two join us, the position of chief game designer will be yours, and all the game information will be given to you. And I think you have heard about the strength of Century Interactive Entertainment recently.

You have money, a team, and resources. Are you interested in participating and working together to achieve great things? "

Although he was answering Yang Dao's question, Chen Hao looked at the two of them sincerely.

The Ice Frog next to him, apart from being shocked when he first watched the video, has now regained his composure and turned back to his customers, "I want to hear Mr. Chen's future development and plans for these two games!"

? ? ?Should you face me or me face you? Chen Hao was a little helpless.
