“That is so.”

After listening to Lin Xiaoguang's words, the bells probably understood.

Moya technology and now the world's first-class host manufacturers, there is no unique advantage, the only advantage is probably their handheld business world leader.

But in this world, the market is not big.

As for how much space there is in this era of technological development, there is still room for life in the palm phone, but in general, it will not be completely absent.

Because of different sizes, the configuration of the hardware is determined, and naturally the scope of the optional game is also determined.

At present, in terms of size, the hardware in this world can be roughly divided into four categories.

The first category, the bracelet.The size of the bracelet, basically not much difference with a watch, can be said to be the most miniature device, coupled with virtual screen and other technologies, for the development of the game is not large, but also can bring the previous life of the mainstream mobile game this level of the game.

The second type, the hand.The size of the handheld is basically maintained in the size of the Switch in the previous life, and then it is called the handheld, but the tablet.

The third category, the host.The size of the host, similar to the laptop, may be slightly thicker, and generally does not move at will.The function of this host is much stronger than the previous two.It is also the most popular game equipment.

The fourth category is the simulator.This kind of equipment is more varied, taking the most mainstream driving simulator, you can directly display the game image in the window of the simulator, or you can also display with a VR helmet, and the required configuration and accuracy are higher.But because it is expensive, it is far less popular than the host.

Although the world's technology has progressed, it has not progressed to the extent that it can run console games with a small bracelet, so there will certainly be such a difference and difference in hardware for a long time.

The biggest advantage of the handheld is that it is portable.Compared with the laptop, the handheld is a special game console, whether it is running the game configuration, or battery life, will not be weaker than some office notebooks, and in portability, it is the final explosion of the game.

Compared with the bracelet, the configuration of the handheld should be completely crushed, and some castrated version of the console game can be run on the handheld, on the bracelet, that is, the dream is a dream.

This is the advantage of the handheld, of course, there is a problem.

The problem is that... players around the world are not particularly acknowledging the handheld, because mainstream players, the focus of development is on the console.

Although there are some console games that have landed on the handheld after being castrated, why play the castration version for many players?

Therefore, this category is also a problem and opportunity coexist, since Moya technology has a technical accumulation in the handheld, there is a relative competitive advantage, then deep ploughing handheld game is not impossible.

Or rather, it is indeed a more reliable competitive strategy they can choose.

Another thing is about the selection of games.

Moya technology is aimed at global players, but this also includes Chinese gamers.

The Chinese gamers of this world, with a population of about one-fifth of the world's population, are still a group that cannot be ignored.

R & D Western background game, Moya technology is not tried, they have several studios have made similar attempts, but are not very successful, although also signed exclusive, but this no fame of the exclusive, basically with no one.

After all, Westerners study Western games, have natural advantages, and are hard-wired with others in this field.

Moreover, the development of Western theme games, even the group of Chinese gamers has also abandoned it to a certain extent, and Chinese gamers have played Western-themed games made by Moya Technology, which will naturally be measured by the standards of first-class 3A masterpieces on the market, so it is not pleasing.

It is precisely because in this regard to touch a lot of nails, so Lin Xiaoguang decided to shift the focus of research and development to the theme of Huaxia game.

On the one hand, playing the signboard of the Chinese game can at least expand the market of Huaxia cultural circle; on the other hand, taking the Huaxia game to Western players to play, they will also feel refreshed, and it is also a difference with those Western manufacturers.

After all, the Huaxia style game is also a new thing for many Westerners, at least the first impression will be good.As for whether the follow-up gameplay can continue to attract those Westerners, this is too far, not to consider.

In this case, Lin Xiaoguang looking for Yang Chengye to match and match to find the bell, it is not surprising.

Because with the previous several games, the micro-light studio has played some fame in the circle, which is very in line with Lin Xiaoguang's requirements!

Micro-light studio, developed is a boutique Chinese game, from "ink and ink", to "Taiwu painting volume", these games are without exception are a good example of combining Huaxia culture and game content, which is very creative, artistic and game-based.

Some other game companies can also do Huaxia style games, but they are not as prominent as the low-light studio.

The bell honked and asked, “Chief Lin, is the handheld with you?”Can you show me?”

"Of course."

Lin Xiaoguang said, from the bag to take out a handheld: "This is the latest Mahaer of Moya technology, is not yet listed, there are many technical patents."Moreover, it can reach at least 65% of the current mainstream host equipment.In terms of games, there are only a few games developed by other studios before, Mr. Zhong, you can play it together."

The bell reached out.

Weight, size, is a little bit larger than the Switch of a previous life, and there is no black edge that can stop the aircraft carrier.

The whole machine is one, the handle can not be removed, but in the layout of the handle, it is basically the same as in the previous life.

After all, the handle layout of this thing, human fingers are so few, press to and go to the convenient position is so few, at most is to change the position of the joystick, the position of the key is interchanged, the big change is impossible, not in line with ergonomics.

Although the screen has become larger, because the thickness has become slightly thinner, the weight has become lighter.

Lighting the screen, the clock is eye-catching, the resolution is much higher than that of the Switch, about 4K hdr, and the frame number is very smooth, as smooth as silk.

In fact, to this extent, the resolution is high, in the handheld such a screen, the human eye is basically indistinguishable, from the visual experience, has been regarded as a very good effect.

The bells open a few games and run a little.

The effect is surprisingly good.

Although these games are more general in play, as a 3D action game, you can still see a lot of things in the case of monsters dense and gorgeous special effects.This machine runs some action games without any pressure, of course, it is not comparable to the console, but it is also good.

However, after playing several games, Zhong Ming also roughly found that these games obviously made some compromises on the function problem, compared with those mainstream 3A masterpieces, can not be so unlimited to pile resources.

Zhong Ming roughly played a little, asked: "This console, when is it going to be on the market?"

Lin Xiaoguang replied: "It is not yet determined, in fact, most of the current development has been completed, waiting for mass production."However, there is no particularly excellent first-time exclusive game escort, always feel that this is the listing, the problem is very big.

The bell nods, indeed, there is no excellent starting exclusive game, the problem is very big.

Note the word “excellent”.

Moya technology such a large company, certainly prepared the first exclusive game, it is impossible to start looking for now.But it is clear that the exclusive game they are preparing for is not particularly satisfied, so they have been hesitant.

The host is selling hardware, but the hardware is all for software.If the console starts do not have a good exclusive game, there is no particularly urgent reason to buy for many players.

For example, when the previous Switch was released, it had to be escorted by the Legend of Zelda, and then a Super Mario Odyssey, the status of this machine was suddenly stabilized.

After that, to develop more games, or to transplant more games, it is relatively smooth.

But what if the Switch was released, there was no The Legend of Zelda and no Super Mario?

I don’t think the sales will look good.

The machine is good, the key is that the player spent so much money to buy, what to play?

This is a big problem.

Zhong Ming thought: "We can develop an exclusive game for this handheld, but we don't know the exclusive purchase cost, how much can you give Lin?"

Lin Xiaoguang considered it for two seconds and replied: "In accordance with the practice of our cooperation with other studios, the exclusive purchase cost is basically about 2 million to 5 million, of course, the specific price, you can talk about it."“Do you know what your psychological expectations are?”

Zhong Ming replied: "limited time exclusive to 10 million, permanent exclusive 30 million."

“Eh...” Lin Xiaoguang said for a moment.

The meaning of exclusive is that this game is only available on this platform, and it can't be played anywhere else.

Since it is only issued on one platform, the significance of some classic masterpieces for the platform is naturally extremely high, such as "unmystery waters", "TLOU", "God of War" on Switch, "The Legend of Zelda", etc., is undoubtedly a block of gold signs, which has become the biggest reason for players to buy the host.

Of course, the console manufacturers also have to pay a price, otherwise why is the game development company exclusive with you?

If it is a real son studio, it is good to say that if it is some third-party studios, the host manufacturers need to pay a very high cost, to use the exclusive cost.

Moreover, this is just an exclusive buyout, the game sold well, still requires two cents, this is not a hammer sale.

In the past, Microsoft just to buy "Tomb Raider: Rise of the Tomb Raider: Rise" of the limited time exclusive, spent a lot of money, according to the news is 30 million U.S. knives, the specific is not easy to say, but it is estimated that not much cheaper.

Limited time exclusive, is to say that the game was the first to launch the platform, in this month is the exclusive of the platform, a month can be free to other platforms.This limited-time exclusibility is a kind of compromise, the host manufacturers will not spend too much money, but also make good use of the game to promote their own machines and platforms.

But then again, the host manufacturer is not a fool, exclusive money, at least through sales to earn back, otherwise it will not become a pure loss?

The price of the bell is indeed beyond Lin Xiaoguang's expectations.

Assuming that this game sells 150 yuan, the profits generated by the two sides are divided into five or five, and then consider some other factors such as publicity costs and tax deductions, and then take into account that there is a certain discount space, according to the exclusive offer of 30 million, then at least 500,000 sets must be sold in order to return!

If the game sells for $100, it will cost $750,000 to get it back.

If the price is reduced, the sales will have to rise.

Of course, the game itself, should also drive some console sales, from the host here, Moya technology can also earn some, but no matter how, this money is not low.

Especially considering the sales of works before the studio, it is even more obvious.

"Tai Wu painting volume" is already the best product of the glare studio, the price of 68, is expected to be able to sell about 800,000 sets in the first month, if you can really buy a game such as "Taiwu drawing volume", it is also good, the key is that the lone studio can also copy the success of "Taiwu drawing volume"?

What's more, this game is not only made to deepen the Huaxia market, but also to open some Western markets a little, such as "Taiwu Painting Roll" and "Ins and out of ink" this game, it does reflect the Chinese style, but want to open the Western market, it is basically impossible.

The bell ming saw Lin Xiaoguang's hesitation and smiled: "Mr. Lin, this is so."The game I plan to develop is no longer an independent game like Taiwu, but a real, suitable for the host platform of 3D games, production costs, there must be a significant increase in production costs.And, since it is custom-made, then the game must meet all your requirements.”

“My goal is to sell for about 150 million yuan, and global sales will be at least one million, and if we can meet that expectation, we all have a profit.”

“Or, if you’re still not at ease, we can sign a bet.”However, if you have a gambling agreement, Lin always has to think about it, and the offer is to be added up.”

The clock knows that it is not realistic to ask for so much money directly.

The biggest problem is that the studio has not developed 3D games, let alone developed explosive games for the world, whether it is from the accumulation of technology, or from the development experience, is not particularly convincing.

Therefore, let Lin Xiaoguang take out 30 million buy-out exclusives directly, which is a little difficult for strong people.

In this case, it is better to sign a direct bet agreement, so that for Zhong Ming, it may also make more money.

Lin Xiaoguang nodded: “So, what is the price of the gambling agreement?”

Obviously, he is also more inclined to sign a gambling agreement, so that the risk borne by Moya Technology has been reduced a lot.

Zhong Ming thought: "The game is priced at 150, and the two sides are divided into five or five."Less than 200,000 sets, permanent exclusive 3 million; higher than 200,000 less than 500,000, permanently exclusive 10 million; higher than 500,000 less than 1 million, permanent exclusive 30 million; higher than 1 million, permanent exclusive 50 million.The time limit is exclusive for one month, and the price is one-third of the permanent exclusive price.”

Lin Xiaoguang counted a little.

The price is fixed, divided into fixed, according to the sales volume, it is likely to estimate the income.

According to Zhongming's proposal, the game's income can definitely cover the cost of a single generation, and the worst result is nothing more than not to make money and work.

But even if it is busy, it is always stronger than losing money, not to mention the money to sell the handheld, and the game objectively plays a promotional effect on the handheld.

The only exception is that the game is really rotten, not to mention 200,000 sets, perhaps 100,000 have not been sold, but Moya technology still needs to pay 3 million exclusive costs.

But after all, the low-light studio has a word of mouth, and Lin Xiaoguang also believes that the bell will not do such a defrauding thing.

Lin Xiaoguang thought: “This offer is acceptable.But the specific agreement will be discussed in more detail.”
