Chapter 205 Eliminate cheating FPS games

Live streaming of goods and food orders are new things, and they are also one of the main channels for Internet celebrities to monetize their traffic.

Don’t underestimate these two channels.

Let’s not talk about the shopping list. Generally, there is a little advertisement for private goods in the video, and then the product link is placed in the comment area, which is often seen by everyone.

The price of the business order is variable!

Some companies give money easily, some pay based on the number of fans, some pay according to the number of video clicks and conversions.

Live streaming is an advanced way to play, and it is also the most important traffic monetization channel for Internet celebrities. It is not even one of them!

"Those big Internet celebrities, those who are extremely popular, live streaming to sell goods is just like robbing money, earning hundreds of dollars per live broadcast

Easily. "

Yang Dong explained: "It's hard to say how much you can earn, because the sales data and pit fees of each Internet celebrity are well hidden, and generally they are not disclosed to fans..."

What is made public is either false or half-truth to fool fans.

nonsense!

How can this be made public?

If the fans knew that the "poor boy" and "poor girl" they had been following for so long were all disguised, secretly living in the Ben Laos villa, wouldn't the character's character be ruined?

"Huang Qing doesn't know either?"

Chen Ba was very curious. If Yang Dong was an outsider and couldn't find out the profit and money-making data of Internet celebrities, then Huang Qing could definitely do it, right?

Before Brother Qing joined Tianba Studio, he was the general manager of MCN Company. No one in the entire studio knew these inside stories better than him.

"He knows, but he signed a confidentiality agreement. Generally, these contract details cannot be disclosed to the outside world, otherwise he will be held accountable."

"Bullshit confidentiality..."

Chen Ba curled his lips and said: "In my opinion, the reason why he dare not say anything is probably because it involves some tax evasion. If he dares to say something, he will be chased and chopped."

Internet celebrities don’t evade taxes?

What a joke! There are really a few Internet celebrities who actually pay taxes. Chen Ba is deeply skeptical about this. He thinks it would be good if there were two or three honest people out of a hundred Internet celebrities.

"Forget it, if you don't know, just don't know."

Yang Dong sighed and said: "This actually doesn't matter. Anyway, "I Am a Big Internet Celebrity" is a virtual online game. No matter how much you earn in the game, the impact will not be big."

"You can't say that..."

"We are simulating Internet celebrities. If even the income of Internet celebrities has to be guessed and deduced, the effect of the simulation will definitely be greatly reduced."

Chen Ba firmly opposed the idea of ​​randomly filling income. Since he wanted to simulate it, he should do it for real.

Internet celebrities and MCNs are very tough and can't ask for any useful details, so why not change your mind and just ask those companies that have participated in live broadcasts to bring goods?

"Hey! It's true!"

Yang Dong suddenly realized: "Why didn't I expect that these companies have cooperated with Internet celebrities, so they must know some details of pit fees and commission contracts."

Just make a game like this.

What it is like to bring goods and make a meal in reality is what it is like in the game. It focuses on a true restoration without any fabricated content.

"By the way, tax evasion..."

Having said this, Chen Ba seemed to have made some kind of decision, gritted his teeth and said: "Add it too and let the players make their own choices."

To be fair, if the game does not have this content, half of its realism will be lost, and the simulated internet celebrities will look fake. After all, you have paid your taxes honestly, how dare you talk about authenticity?

"Is this...isn't this bad?"

Hearing this, Yang Dong frowned and said, "If players are given the choice, then 99% of players will choose this path. Wouldn't there be very few honest players?"

No need to think about it.

Due to the poor nature of players, there is an option of tax evasion in the game, which is a must-select for almost everyone, and there are no legal compliance prompts underneath.

This is what Yang Dong is worried about...

If there is such content in the game, will it be judged as "bad inducement" or even "harmful to social harmony"?

"Don't be so nervous, this shouldn't count! If all of this counts, then every P club player will not be able to escape the law..."

Chen Ba said without caring.

Although this kind of content appears in the game, it sounds very sensitive, but when you compare it with other games, you will find that it is nothing?

Simulation strategy games such as "Ice Age" and "Civilization" series contain more heavyweight codes and even doctrinal contents.

In comparison, "I Am a Big Internet Celebrity" has added this mechanism as a whole, which is really insignificant.

"That makes sense. I'm just worrying too much."

Yang Dong rubbed his eyebrows, and then said with a slight distress: "By the way, Brother Ba, there is something else I hope to get your help with."

"What's up?"

"Are you going to get the copyright of the music library? Our game cannot lack all kinds of fun BGM!"

Chen Ba: "..."

Hey Hey hey? Is this human language?

In order to make a game, directly buy the license for an entire music copyright library? How much did Yang Dong drink before he dared to propose such an outrageous condition?

"No, you... do you know how expensive the entire music library is, if the copyright is packaged and sold?"

Chen Ba was speechless and said: "Let me put it this way, even if our Tianba Studio is sold, we probably won't be able to get the full music library license."

"You really dare to make a request. No one can make such a request. It's really not something we can accomplish..."

"Let's do this first. It will be compatible with some of the more popular music file formats, and then let players upload and share it while playing."

Although Chen Ba couldn't meet Brother Dong's requirements, he still thought of a way for him.

This method is to pass the blame.

Throwing the responsibility to the players, when people ask, they will say I don’t know. This is content uploaded and shared by the players themselves and has nothing to do with Tianba Studio.

In fact, most of the current mainstream social short video platforms follow this model.

Ahem... most of them!

The reason why it is the majority is mainly because there are a few "rich and powerful" platforms that have reached cooperation with digital music copyright owners, such as Penguin Music X Doukuai.

This mode is definitely impossible to learn, so we can only rely on players and let them figure it out on their own.

…

The end of January, the beginning of the first lunar month.

Once a year, the TGA Awards Ceremony, known as the "Oscars" in the gaming industry, is held grandly in Los Angeles, USA.

This is a battle of swordsmanship in the gaming industry. All game developers who are invited and intend to compete for the final award have signed up to participate in this award ceremony without exception.

The same goes for Chen Ba.

This is not the first time he has been invited. He was actually invited two years ago. It's just that Tianba Studio in the past two years lacked competitiveness in core awards, so they didn't bother to invite him.

This year is very special. The special thing is that Tianba Studio, which has always been a companion in previous years, and its "Global Evolution" were nominated for the best game of the year, best performance, best community support, best RPG game, and best multiplayer game. game and many other awards.

Wuhu, take off!

Chen Ba had never received such courtesy before. When he thought about the scene where he received the award and received the award, Peipianpidian came to the scene.

Unfortunately, there are some things that only he knows when he comes to the scene, and that is that although "Global Evolution" is nominated for many awards, most of them have to be accompanied by runners.

It's already pretty good to win one or two awards.

As for game of the year?

Excuse me! Although the organizing committee claimed that all awards were kept confidential, no one knew the names of the winners until the winners were announced at the end.

OK! OK!

Chen Ba has long been tired of hearing the rhetoric of fairness and justice. No matter how well the organizing committee disguises it, everyone will know who won the award when they arrive at the event.

Of course ordinary people don't know, and they think the process of awarding awards is very exciting.

But for studio bosses like Chen Ba, or studio CEOs like Huang Qing, it’s really difficult to hide it from them.

After all, there are only a few nominees, and it’s not a secret to see who has the most ability, whose game has the most fans, and who has done the most to win the award.

"pity……"

Yang Dong, who was based in Jiangning, learned that the best game of the year did not have a chance with "Global Evolution". He said with half regret and half happiness: "You can accept it! After all, if this award is really awarded to us, it will probably be criticized by netizens. It was rated as a shock wave.”

The manufacturer that won the TGA Game of the Year this year is Valve. The new games they launched have become popular all over the world, and their influence in the Western world is far greater than "Global Evolution".

Probably this is also the reason why "Global Evolution" was ultimately rejected. It is well-known but not very well-known, and its foreign influence is really limited...

The best award of the year was actually awarded to "Global Evolution". Chen Ba was happy, but many fans of Valve and even foreign players were unhappy. They questioned the existence of a shady secret in this TGA and awarded it to a game that they had never heard of. game.

certainly!

As the saying goes, every gain must come with a loss! After losing out on Game of the Year, Global Evolution quickly picked up a few consolation prizes.

What's the best community support, best RPG games, etc.

As the main producer of the game, Chen Ba also took the stage to give a speech. Unfortunately, everyone has a time limit, otherwise he would really like to rap on the spot.

but……

There is a limit to the length of the acceptance speech, so it is not so easy to use to showcase talents, but it can be used to the fullest in the industry communication session after the event.

This session is private.

That is to say, it is not open to the public. No reporters or media are present. It is just a celebration party for representatives of various console manufacturers and game companies.

Here, Chen Ba met the head of a game studio that makes FPS games in Laomi. He seemed to be very interested in Chen Ba and chatted a lot with him.

Through the conversation with Chen Ba, I learned that this bearded game producer actually wanted to inquire about the possibility of applying the Tianba engine to FPS games.

"ah?"

Regarding this slightly absurd question, Chen Ba was stunned at first.

Tianba engine? FPS?

These two are obviously not the same type of thing! When the Tianba engine was born, it was not specially corrected for FPS games at all.

Therefore, it is obvious that using the Tianba engine to develop FPS games is quite risky. The risk is extremely high. Everyone will be happy if it succeeds, but if it fails, it may not even be as good as relying on the defense.

"The engine can support FPS games, but I don't recommend you do so because Tianba engine has no experience in developing FPS games."

When Chen Ba said this, he suddenly asked curiously: "By the way, there are many excellent engines available for FPS games, right? Why do you choose the Tianba engine?"

He was really curious.

FPS games are the most popular category in the game industry. There are countless popular masterpieces. It is not a big problem to list more than a dozen popular FPS games on the market.

In this case, if you want to develop a high-quality FPS game, why not use the engines of these games?

Tianba engine? No shit!

In China, the Tianba engine may still be able to show its prestige, but abroad, the new Tianba engine is a piece of shit, and few developers are willing to try it.

"Chen, you seem to have forgotten..."

The developer named Kadir shrugged and said: "What you said is not fatal to an FPS game, especially an online game."

"The real fatal thing is the cheat!"

Plug-in?

Hearing this word, Chen Ba nodded in astonishment.

It really is……

When evaluating the quality of an FPS game, especially online games, everyone will include the severity of penalties and bans for cheating, as well as whether there are too many cheats.

The game competitive environment is relatively well maintained, and games that strictly crack down on cheating are the most fun FPS games in the minds of players.

So here comes the question...

Is there an FPS game that can completely eliminate the intrusion of various plug-ins and scripts and ensure a green and healthy game environment?

The answer is, no!

There is a reason why FPS cheats are rampant, and this reason, with the current speed of game development, will not be solved for at least 10 years.

I have been very conservative for 10 years...

A slightly more radical player may even say that the FPS cheating problem cannot be solved in 30 years.

The mainstream solution that has been proven by the market is at most a sweep like "Valorant", which always monitors players to see if they are cheating.

To be honest, this method is very crude.

Because it is very rough, and this kind of snooping behavior without privacy will also arouse the disgust and rejection of many players.

"So...what do you want to say?"

Chen Ba was very confused. Kadir had already shocked him when he mentioned FPS games, and then he mentioned cheats. What on earth did he want to say?

What is the relationship between Tianba engine and FPS games? What does it have to do with plug-ins?

Will Kadir discover that various FPS plug-in software can be developed using the Tianba engine?

"NO!"

Kadir denied this nonsense speculation and explained without hesitation: "Although my discovery is related to plug-ins, you believe me, I am really a green player who abides by the law."

"What I discovered was that when I tried to make a small FPS game in Tianba Engine, the game actually resisted the invasion of various FPS plug-in software."

Chen Ba: "???"

Resist various plug-in software? Isn't this what it should be?

No matter what the Tianba engine is, the bottom layer is still produced by Tiehanhan System. No matter how awesome these plug-in software are, it is impossible to bypass the system.

So what's the surprise...wait! Was he talking about FPS games just now?

Chen Ba quietly widened his eyes.
