Many people thought of Nebula Games' other game, "Minecraft."
The reason why "Minecraft" became so popular, besides its unique gameplay, was mainly its very well-developed game community.
And now, the map editor of "Warcraft" is obviously the same.
Combined with Nebula Games' platform's creative workshop, it creates a community for players.
Many designers in the industry were amazed.
Especially when they thought of the early situation of the Nebula Games platform.
Obviously, from the time "Overcooked" was released, Nebula Games was already consciously maintaining this aspect of the community.
Of course, not all game designers were moved by this.
For example, Felix from Hero Games.
He felt he should probably go to the hospital for a checkup.
The ups and downs of life were too exciting.
Originally, he thought "Warcraft" would take away the RTS player base, and "Human Warfare" might take away some of the casual player base.
But now, he clearly understood one thing.
That is, "Warcraft" wants it all.
He had been happy for nothing these days.
.........
Compared to the designers who showed various emotional changes because of the "Warcraft" editor.
Lucas was in a pretty good mood.
For Lucas, the plan for "Warcraft" was basically completed so far.
Now on the ranking ladder, all kinds of tactics have been developed by players.
For example, some simple, all-purpose tactics from his past life, such as flying units and ghost units, and even some tactics that Lucas had never seen before, but were refreshing, have also been developed.
As for whether they are useful, no one can say for sure until they are shown on the professional stage.
In addition, overseas and domestic competitions have also started to emerge.
All of these can keep "Warcraft" active for a while in the future.
In terms of "Warcraft's" content itself, it can be said that even if these core RTS players play it for ten years, they probably won't get tired of it.
In addition, a large number of players who were not very interested in RTS gameplay have been playing RPG maps.
And this group of players is even larger.
According to the data statistics from the Nebula Games platform's background.
The number of people playing RPG maps every day is gradually catching up with regular RTS battles.
This was somewhat expected.
After all, not everyone has enough hand speed to experience the pure charm of RTS.
Including the "Warcraft" of his past life, even without the impact of MOBA games later, it would still have its players gradually diverted by RPG, FPS, and other types of games. There is no way to change this.
Unless the RTS gameplay is simplified.
But without the arrangement of troops and the decision-making of various tactics, can it still be called RTS?
Currently, "Minecraft," "Warcraft," as well as "Legends of the Three Kingdoms" and "Fall Guys" from earlier years, still have quite a few stable players.
Plus, with the openness of the Nebula Games platform, there are still many third-party multiplayer games.
It can be said that for the current platform, this aspect is basically stable.
But Lucas hasn't quite figured out what to do next.
However, after more than half a year of continuous operation at high intensity for the company's internal team, Lucas made a decision.
That is to take all employees on a vacation activity.
Of course, in batches, because the company still needs manpower.
As for the scope of the vacation, it will not be abroad.
After all, foreign countries are also relatively chaotic, and isn't the great scenery of our own country worth seeing?
......
......
From the airport, the ride back to the company was quite smooth.
Sitting in the car, Rachel, Anna, Hector, and others were still discussing the various sights and experiences of this trip, and organizing the corresponding photos.
And Lucas received a call from an old friend, the enthusiastic Mr. Marcus.
"Hello?" Lucas was a little curious what Marcus was calling him for at this time.
Marcus started on the phone: "Boss Lucas, have you seen the notice from the Game Division?"
Slightly stunned, Lucas was a little confused: "Notice? What notice?"
"It's the Game Division's trip! Boss Lucas, you don't know?" Marcus was also stunned.
"Trip? I don't pay much attention to that. After all, it's not a good idea for me to participate in any trip now." Lucas was also puzzled.
He used to participate in trips a couple of years ago.
But since last year, he basically doesn't bother with them anymore.
After all, with the current size of Nebula Games, participating in these trip activities would be like bullying people.
Hearing Lucas's words, Marcus on the other end of the phone understood what was going on: "No, Boss Lucas, use your account to log in to the Game Division's website. This time it's a VR trip."
"Ah? Mr. Marcus, wait a moment." Lucas was stunned, then took out the laptop from the backpack next to him and logged into the Game Division's website.
At this time, Rachel, Hector, and others next to him also quieted down, curiously looking at Lucas.
And after entering the Game Division's website, Lucas understood what Marcus was talking about.
A long string of text notices, but after summarizing them, Lucas understood what it meant.
In short, VR games have been used in various industries, including the military field.
Both domestically and abroad, there are some VR games specifically for the military.
However, the overall situation in China is relatively backward, so this is also a reform.
Of course, when it really comes to training, live exercises are definitely the main thing. Training in VR is more about conditions that cannot be created in real-world exercises.
Simply put, it's better to cultivate situations like crisis response.
After all, it's impossible to really put soldiers in danger during live exercises.
This time, it is a political task, and acceptance is voluntary.
After all, the research and development funding for a VR game is often hundreds of millions, and the Game Division obviously cannot afford this money.
There will be corresponding subsidies, but they will definitely not be high enough to cover the cost of a game.
And while ensuring that the game is profitable, make the game as satisfying as possible for the Game Division.
Of course, there will definitely be two different versions later, one for the military and one for players.
As for the benefits, there are naturally some.
Various cutting-edge technologies developed by the Game Division will be available to these designers and companies.
And this time, the VR trip, the most cutting-edge VR technology is also open to designers.
On the one hand, it is to provide specialized training games for the military, and on the other hand, it is to pave the way for new VR equipment.
After reading the entire notice, Lucas had a clear understanding in his mind.
"Mr. Marcus, you didn't call me just to talk about this, did you?" Lucas asked.
"Ahem, I can't hide anything from you, Boss Lucas! This time, I am a bridge of communication. I am here on behalf of NetDragon to contact you, Boss Lucas, hoping to jointly create a VR game." Marcus said to Lucas.
"Hmm?" Lucas wondered.
"After all, a large-scale VR game, and a relatively special VR game with a political mission, is very likely to be a complete loss. Sharing the risk is also a very normal thing."
"In addition, Boss Lucas, NetDragon also wants to establish a strategic cooperative relationship with the Nebula Games platform. If you have this intention, Boss Lucas, we can choose a time to sit down and chat." Marcus said on the phone.
"Okay, how about two o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow? Mr. Marcus." Lucas set a time, chatted for a couple of sentences, and hung up the phone.
At the same time, Lucas himself was very surprised.
After all, didn't NetDragon put their games on the channel alliance like SkyNova before?
Now they are turning around and wanting to cooperate with him.
But although surprised, Lucas still decided to meet.
To see what the situation is with NetDragon.
The remaining thing is the VR game here.
Lucas really has some ideas for the VR trip direction of the Game Division this time.
