Chapter 672 Entering the Online Game Market
The dream company that poached people from Chen Dong's 361 Company to work on all kinds of games.
It is said that Li Hua, from the game development department of Dream Company, blindly followed the game model of 361 Company, but failed to pay attention to market fatigue due to a lack of innovation and uniqueness.
In addition, the neglect of adopting existing technologies led to a lack of player interest in the newly developed cartridges and single-player games.
Aside from the initial novelty and some initial sales, the subsequent market response was dismal and showed clear signs of fatigue.
The entire game development department was in an awkward predicament, especially Li Hua, who had lost count of how many times he had become furious.
This is largely thanks to the fact that Dream Company's main business is not making this kind of thing, but selling computers and monitors.
Otherwise, Liu Chuanzhi would be furious.
Of course, under these circumstances, Liu Chuanzhi also repeatedly cut the funding for the game development department under Li Hua's jurisdiction.
Time quietly passed, and it came to the end of 97.
The headquarters of 361 Inc. was moved from Beijing to Shenzhen in the second half of the year.
In the spacious and bright R&D department office of 361 Inc., Chen Dong was standing in front of a huge whiteboard, intently drawing up a blueprint for the company's future development.
His marker danced across the whiteboard, making circles and dots, sketching out exciting plans.
"As you can see, we have achieved some success in the single-player game market, but I see a more promising area: online games."
Chen Dong stared intently at the programming department heads and team leaders sitting together, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
It's 97 now, and the internet only started to emerge in China in early 96.
Although it has only been a year since its development, many people in wealthy Shanghai have already started surfing the internet.
Places like Beijing and Shenzhen have also seen a significant increase in broadband users.
In such a large country, with millions of mainframe computer users and around one million using broadband, the basic environment for making money on the internet has been established.
Chen Dong pointed to the blackboard and said with a smile, "The company's future strategy is to fully enter the online game industry and focus all our efforts on developing two blockbuster games, namely!"
At this point, Chen Dong turned around and wrote the two large characters "Journey" and "Legend" on the blackboard.
In this world, where is the battlefield, and where is home?
Hello everyone, I'm Zha Zha Hui. If you're a brother, come and fight me!
Especially the Legend of Mir. Chen Dong recalled the game company in Xijiang Province in his previous life that specialized in Legend of Mir; their advertisements were truly outrageous and ridiculous.
When Chen Dong first saw it, he thought the other party had photoshopped the advertisement to infringe on the rights of those celebrities, which was why the advertisement was so outrageous and ridiculous.
It turns out it really was a paid advertising endorsement! It wasn't fake, it wasn't photoshopped, it was a real video filmed by the celebrity himself who knew about it.
Chen Dong was stunned at first, and then he played around and spent several thousand yuan.
At first, people were drawn by the celebrities and the crowds, thinking it would be a lot of fun.
But after that, it became an outdated game, as those who know, know.
And now, in this era before the turn of the millennium!
This legend is not only timeless, but also incredibly fashionable!
Chen Dong is going to make this game and personally have his brothers kill him!
R&D manager Li Qiang frowned and said worriedly, "President Chen, developing online games is no easy task."
"Even with your strategic advice on the game, Mr. Chen, but..."
"We still face many technical challenges, such as server capacity and network latency optimization, which require a lot of technical investment and time to overcome."
"After all, we still have too few talents in this area."
Chen Dong nodded, but didn't seem to care.
Because, in this respect, our company is already among the best in the country.
That's right. In the game industry, especially online games, other companies were worse than us at that time!
If it weren't for the dream intervening, there wouldn't be any other companies talking about this.
Chen Dong smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I know it's difficult, but when has our 361 Company ever been afraid of difficulties? We were able to create globally popular single-player games before, and we're sure we can make a name for ourselves in the online game industry now!"
"Everyone is welcome to speak their mind. I won't blame you for being frank."
Wei Chen, the head of the online game department, pushed up his glasses, stood up and said, "President Chen, I think we can start by optimizing the network code. Most of our online games were previously used as training grounds for beginners, so the code is rather messy."
"After this reform, the next step is to establish servers as the source of online games. I think we can adopt a distributed server architecture to share the burden."
"Great idea!" Chen Dong looked at Wei Chen approvingly and said with a smile, "Let's work on this idea. If you have any questions, feel free to raise them, and I'll work with you to solve them."
Besides online games, Chen Dong didn't forget about other departments at this meeting, and continued, "Besides online games, other departments also have things to do."
"I plan to set up a new department to develop a domestically produced online chat software, which I will name QE Chat Software."
"In addition, the single-player game department will also be producing single-player games for CD-ROM consoles, such as The Legend of Sword and Fairy, Emperor Development Project, and Business Empire."
Chen Dong clapped his hands and laughed, "In short, we need to diversify our development to meet the needs of different players, and then single-player games and online games can shine together!"
Li Weiguo, the head of the Cartridge Games Department, stood up and asked with a worried expression, "President Chen, what about our Cartridge Games Department? What tasks do we have?"
Chen Dong glanced at Li Weiguo and thought, "Oh no, I really forgot about him."
However, he was once a major money-maker.
Chen Dong thought for a moment, and then thought, "Hmm, it seems there's also the Software Department."
Since that's the case, let's find something for both departments to do.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Dong also assigned tasks to the two departments.
By 98, after countless days and nights of hard work, the two online games were finally completed.
Upon its release, it immediately caused a sensation in the market.
With its robust national war system and rich character development gameplay, Conquer Online has attracted a large number of players who enjoy intense battles.
Legendary, with its simple and easy-to-learn controls and exciting PK mode, has driven countless players crazy.
It's so simple in its calculation of attack and defense attributes that it's hard to believe this is a terrible calculation system made by the company that created Diablo.
After all, in Chen Dong's hands, Diablo's damage system is a dynamic offensive and defensive system with interconnected attributes across multiple dimensions.
