Chapter 112: Chapter 102: Ga MOD_2
After Intel entered the arena, of course, they’d keep the good stuff for themselves, so their CPUs are definitely top-notch, although the GPU is a bit lacking, it still holds the possibility for unexpected wins.
A spot for a prestigious team is locked in.
As for the other prestigious team in the league, it’s definitely AMD. With CPUs and GPUs, if they overclock a bit and create a custom driver for "Star Emperor," it’s definitely a Galaxy Battleship!
As for teams like Daren Shuo and Shrink Star, at first glance they seem ordinary, but after thinking about it carefully, their strength can’t be underestimated either!
After all, the performance of a computer isn’t solely dependent on the CPU or GPU; the combination of other hardware also sets the upper limit.
"Haha!"
"For this league, why not rena it from Golden Era to PC Hardware Battle Royale?"
Chen Ba couldn’t help but laugh, "Will these companies end up enraged and cut off each other’s supplies during the league?"
Take Intel for example, with its weak GPU performance, in gas like "Star Emperor," it would surely be at a disadvantage.
If they lose a lot, they might cut off supplies to other teams out of frustration and not allow them to use their CPUs.
...
September in Jiangning, the temperature difference between day and night is quite large.
The evenings and early mornings carry a chill, but at noon, it gets so hot that you’re sweating all over, and if you’re not careful, you might get sick like Zhong Shengwei.
"Is Zhong okay?"
"He’s fine!"
Chen Ba waved his hand and said, "Just feeling a bit unwell, he went ho to rest after getting dication from the hospital."
He had visited the hospital.
Even though Zhong Shengwei’s complexion looked slightly off, overall there wasn’t a major issue, just a common cold with a fever.
It’s a matter of personal constitution.
So people get sick and are fine, but for soone like Zhong Shengwei with a weaker constitution, they feel terrible when they’re ill.
Zhong ca to work today as usual, but as soon as he arrived at the studio, everyone noticed sothing was wrong, and in the end, Chen Ba took him to the hospital and advised him to go ho and rest properly.
Although work is important, health is more important.
In ga developnt, losing one or two people doesn’t delay progress. Unless it’s a special situation, like having six or seven people in the studio and then four take maternity leave...
That definitely wouldn’t be good.
Tianba Studio doesn’t have new ga plans for now; the current work mainly revolves around updating and maintaining several older gas.
"Divine Grace Continent" is a key focus.
As the studio’s most profitable ga, major version updates and DLC must be made, and a creative workshop must be opened.
However, before deciding whether to open the creative workshop, a thorny issue needs to be resolved: if players create MODs and they are used comrcially, how should the profits be divided?
If "Divine Grace Continent" opens its creative workshop, many players will surely unleash their creativity and imagination, creating various ga modules with "comrcial value."
When players reference each other’s work without involving comrcial profit, it naturally needs neither oversight nor concern.
But "Divine Grace Continent" is too special!
What makes it special is that besides being an RPG adventure ga, "Divine Grace Continent" is also an excellent AI animation creation software.
This ans...
Certain outstanding ga modules will undoubtedly have comrcial value and attract the interest and adoption of animation creators.
How should the resulting revenue be shared?
And if the creative workshop is set up on the Steam Platform and publicly sold, the Steam Platform will definitely take a portion of the profits, which is sothing Chen Ba doesn’t want to see.
"Then how about this..."
"Open the creative workshop on our official website; players who need it can download the ga modules from there," Yang Dong explained.
"Ordinary players can download and use them for free, but if they want to use them comrcially, we need to sign a licensing agreent with the original author and take 30% of the profits from the ga module."
The 30% has been carefully considered.
If it’s too high, players might not be motivated to create MODs; after all, creating a great MOD just becos free labor for Tianba Studio.
If it’s too low, Tianba Studio also suffers, as they’re providing the ga and platform but only get a small piece of the pie, who would be happy about that?
"Sounds good, let’s do that!"
Chen Ba thought about it and felt that opening the creative workshop on their official website was a great idea.
This way, it not only avoids channel fees on the Steam Platform, but also helps attract traffic to the website, better managing the ga modules, with countless benefits.
The only downside might be that players who bought the ga on the Steam Platform would have to go to Tianba’s official website to download and install the ga modules, isn’t that a bit troubleso?
"Not at all!"
Lu chuckled and said, "We can add a MOD-related service within the ga that links directly to Tianba’s official website."
"Moreover, gas including ’Divine Grace Continent’ aren’t exclusive to the Steam Platform! We can sell the gas on our website too."
Selling gas on the official website?
This idea had never occurred to Chen Ba before.
But after thinking about it carefully, he realized it was indeed feasible. After all, the gas from Tianba Studio are generally available on all platforms, not exclusives to any particular one.
Since they’re not exclusive, why not sell them both on the Steam Platform and on Tianba’s official website?
The user base of their own platform may be small, not even a fraction of Steam.
But the advantage is that the price they sell the ga for is exactly what they earn, without having to pay channel fees to other platforms.
"Alright then, let’s set it up."
"Put in so effort over the next few days to launch the ’Divine Grace Continent’ creative workshop as soon as possible..."
Setting up a creative workshop isn’t difficult.
It boils down to whether the ga developer is willing to grant permissions. If they are, creating ga MODs becos easy, and the motivation for creativity is high.
If they aren’t willing to give permissions, creating MODs becos difficult, especially those with extensive modification content, without adequate ga permissions, it’s really hard to do.
The permissions for "Divine Grace Continent" are almost entirely open except for NPC auto-generation.
Simply put, aside from not being able to modify NPC-related ga content, other items, weapons, enemies, events, maps, modes, storylines, etc., are all open for modification.
This offers a high degree of freedom.
With such a large space for modification, players with their wild ideas can easily create impressive, or downright shocking, ga MODs.
"Rember to inform MOD creators in advance that all MODs related to ’Divine Grace Continent’ require authorization from Tianba Studio if used for comrcial purposes."
Chen Ba said seriously, "If soone violates this clause and secretly uses it comrcially or profits from ga MODs without authorization, then don’t bla us for being unsympathetic."
This bears repeating.
The unique nature of "Divine Grace Continent" ans many MODs could be sold for money.
Faced with imnse profits, soone might stray off course; setting up preventative asures is crucial.
anwhile,
All MODs created for "Divine Grace Continent" can only be published in the designated area on Tianba’s official website and not on other platforms for players to download.
Simple sharing, even without profit, is not allowed.
This is a matter of principle!
If the above terms are violated, Tianba Studio will not hesitate to take legal action, pursuing lawsuits and compensation.
Don’t doubt Ba’s ability to find you; he’s a man seemingly endowed with extraordinary powers. As soon as a ga MOD is applied to "Divine Grace Continent," he will surely discover it.
Any wrongdoings will ultimately be brought to justice!
"Speaking of which, should we still call our MOD community the ’creative workshop’?"
"What else would we call it?"
Chen Ba shrugged and said, "If you think it’s not catchy, or are afraid Steam Platform might ask for licensing fees, then change it to sothing like Tianba Factory or Creative Plant, how about that?"
It’s not a major problem.
Whether it’s the creative workshop or creative plant, after all, they’re just nicknas for a MOD sharing community.
If you’re not shy, you could even call it Soraka’s Ho...
