A game engine that was more than ten years ahead of the times would subvert the understanding of current game developers. This was a matter of course.
It would be abnormal if he didn't feel surprised after reading it.
Lu Yuan saw that Ritz was looking at their studio with interest. He smiled and said,"Mr. Ritz, you flatter me. Then let's talk about work first?”
Ryze nodded and said," Alright, we are all used to dealing with data. One is one, and two is two. We don't like to be vague. Mr. Lu Yuan, you should be very familiar with our company's situation. Otherwise, you wouldn't have invited us over for a face-to-face meeting. However, since Mr. Lu Yuan knows that we have already accepted the investment of another company, why are you still insisting on investing in us?”
He really couldn't figure this out. The real-life operating screen of the Tianqing First Generation that Lu Yuan sent him allowed him to see new possibilities for game development.
He originally wanted to discuss with Lu Yuan if he could grant them the rights to use the first generation of Tianqing and let them improve the League of Legends that they were developing.
However, Lu Yuan's reply was still to invest in them. This made them feel very strange.
A gaming studio that could develop the first generation of Tian Qing, what kind of game could they not develop?
Why invest in them?
Lu Yuan's studio had the ability to develop a game that was better than theirs. Once it was launched, the same game launched by other companies would have no chance of survival.
But under such a premise, Lu Yuan actually wanted to invest in them.
This time, Ryze was really puzzled.
Lu Yuan said calmly," Players need a simple and easy to learn MOBA game. The League of Legends that you are currently developing is such a game. I am very optimistic about the prospects of this game. Is this reason okay?”
Ryze said," Mr. Lu Yuan, I admire your foresight very much. Just like you said, it's because of this mindset that we chose to set up our own business and develop a new MOBA game. To be honest, previously, we looked everywhere for investors, but others thought that we wouldn't succeed. Fate is really interesting. At that time, we couldn't find investors, but now, everyone wants to invest in us.”
Ryze left Blizzard Entertainment.
In the early days of Riot Company's establishment, no one was optimistic about it.
After it was established in 2005, Ritz had been looking for investors, but none of them were optimistic.
Everyone felt that League of Legends was too similar to DOTA, but it did not have as high a requirement as DOTA. How could it compare to DOTA, which looked more professional?
Therefore, no one invested in them at that time.
Actually, not many people were willing to invest now. Only the goose factory and Lu Yuan were willing to invest.
It had to be said that the goose factory had always been at the forefront of the market.
However, after stumbling along the way, he had developed League of Legends.
Now, League of Legends was about to open beta in foreign countries.
If other companies wanted to cooperate with them, improve their games, or invest in their games, Ryze would definitely not respond.
The development of the game had already been completed, so why would he still accept investments for no reason?
However, Lu Yuan was different. When Ryze saw the Tian Qing generation, it was as if he saw a new world.
He saw a whole new game possibility.
Only then did he accept Lu Yuan's invitation to come and talk to him.
Lu Yuan said," Mr. Ritz, I know that you want to make a competitive game that can truly become popular all over the world and be accepted and loved by more players. I believe that the League of Legends that you developed will definitely be a very good game and will be liked by many players. If we cooperate, Tianqing First Generation and League of Legends will be a game that transcends the era.”
Ryze smiled and said," Mr. Lu Yuan, I also believe that the first generation of Tianqing, together with our development of League of Legends, will be a product that transcends eras. Otherwise, I wouldn't have flown for such a long time and sat here to talk to you. I'll give you my bottom line. Compared to accepting your investment, I hope that our cooperation method is that you grant us the right to use the first generation of Tianqing, and we'll pay to rent it.”
Right now, Riot Games wasn't short of money. The game had already been developed, and the distribution channels were almost ready.
They didn't need any investment at all.
Lu Yuan said," I just said that I also want to make a popular MOBA game. I'm not joking. I've even started designing the character image and skills. Mr. Ritz, to be honest with you, if we can't come to an agreement this time, our studio will develop a MOBA game on our own.”
As he spoke, he took out a few documents from his folder and handed them to Hua Yunqing. He asked Hua Yunqing to pass them to Ritz and the others.
Hua Yunqing was dumbfounded. When did Lu Yuan start designing the character's image and skills?
He was full of doubts, but he pretended to be calm and handed the document to Ryze with a smile.
Ryze took a look at the document and his expression changed drastically.
Lu Yuan knew that the cooperation with Riot Company wasn't that easy to negotiate.
Ryze looked like an easy-going person, but he actually had a lot of ideas in his mind.
This guy would accept the goose factory's acquisition of his rival company in the future, but he would not be able to take away any of the dominance.
Riot Company and League of Legends were the only companies that did not change their core team after the acquisition of Goose Factory. They could not interfere with the company's operations.
Therefore, Lu Yuan had long made preparations.
The document he handed over was the blueprints and skill settings of the two heroes.
The two heroes were Yasuo and Lucian.
Both of them would be the most popular heroes in League of Legends in the future. They were also considered perfect heroes.
After Ryze read the two documents, his expression changed drastically.
His expression changed. These two documents proved that Lu Yuan wasn't joking with him. If they couldn't cooperate, then their relationship in the future would definitely be that of competitors.
Did he want to compete with someone like Lu Yuan? The other party seemed to have already prepared everything. Their technology, funds, and methods were all better than their Riot Company. Could they compete with them?
These questions echoed in Ryze's mind.
Lu Yuan said calmly," Mr. Ryze, one MOBA game that is popular all over the world is enough. Cooperation or competition? What we are talking about now is actually this problem.”
