Jiang Yun has been in the gaming industry for nearly ten years.
As one of the first batch of game design graduates from Binjiang University, Jiang Yun was full of enthusiasm and passion when he first walked out of school.
He is eager to make contributions and establish a monument in the field of game design.
He is not satisfied with China's gaming environment, and is even more dissatisfied with the rigidity and obsolescence of the world's gaming industry!
He wants to be the founder of a new gaming era and create an epoch-making masterpiece with his own hands!
Games shouldn’t just focus on profit!
Jiang Yun thought so.
Then.
I was slapped hard by reality!
The experience of hitting the wall countless times seemed to be pointing at his nose and laughing:
If you don’t focus on profits, what should you focus on?
Is it art? Is it word-of-mouth? Is it possible that you really want to create happiness for players?
Idiot.
Make games for money!
This is the only need for game developers in China and even around the world!
What creates new gameplay and what shapes a good plot!
You must be sick! What do you think about that?
If you have the time, why not do more research on the market, see which game is popular recently, or has a trend of becoming popular, and copy it quickly?
Is there a grudge against money?
that's all!
Over time, when the edges and corners of Jiang Yun's body were smoothed away, he naturally became numb.
Even if ambition occasionally ignites, it is just a spark that is extinguished as soon as it is blown away.
Just like today.
forget it.
Why bother to make yourself miserable?
Jiang Yun comforted himself in his heart.
He is famous and successful in Xingmang. Now that he has finally become a game director, of course he cannot leave Xingmang.
"Then what should we do now? Mr. Chen?"
After Chen Hang's anger was almost gone, Jiang Yun finally spoke and asked in a low voice:
"How about I add a DLC to save it?"
"Why--"
Vice President Chen let out a sigh of relief, glanced at Jiang Yun, and waved his hand:
"Forget it, I have a more important project for you now."
As he spoke, Vice President Chen pulled out a piece of paper from his desk and handed it to Jiang Yun: "You have a look first."
After taking the list, Jiang Yun read it carefully.
[Invitation letter to Yiyou Platform “Small Game Development Festival”]
"This is the invitation letter sent to us by Yiyou,"
Vice President Chen said:
"In fact, theoretically speaking, a relatively mature game company like ours cannot participate,"
"Because they are targeting emerging game companies or studios, or individual designers,"
"But, I am familiar with the marketing director of Yiyou. He is my old senior,"
"People are willing to give us a little edge and let us compete,"
"According to Yiyou, this competition has a voting component,"
"If we can win the final voting round and get the votes of the vast majority of players,"
"Then, the designer who created the game will block the banner on the platform."
Say it.
Vice President Chen raised his eyebrows at Jiang Yun:
"Do you understand what I mean?"
hiss--
Chen Hang's words made Jiang Yun take a breath of cold air.
Designer board banner recommendation?
Yiyou is trying to make stars.
As we all know!
In China, whether players, developers, or media platforms, they usually only care about game works.
As for the designer who is mainly responsible for the game, no one pays attention to it.
This has led to the fact that most of the well-known designers in the gaming industry are from abroad.
This time, the Yiyu platform has obviously noticed this problem.
Therefore, they followed the example of foreign countries where the game industry is more developed, and took advantage of this small game development festival to launch a benchmark that can represent the new generation of Chinese designers.
This is a rare opportunity!
Jiang Yun's expression condensed.
If he can come out on top in this game festival, then he will be considered successful.
At the same time, since the rights to the games he designed are owned by Xingmang, the company can also make a lot of money.
"I see,"
Jiang Yun nodded:
"Mr. Chen, what do you think the direction of our competition this time...?"
"I think the two games from Golden Wind Games are good and have high sales,"
Vice President Chen waved his hand:
"You just pick one, copy it and make changes!"
…
"Copy and change? How can that be done!"
The next day, Golden Wind Game Company, President's Office.
Facing the game design direction suggested by Chu Qingzhou, Shen Miaomiao immediately denied it.
Yes.
Just now, Shen Miaomiao called Chu Qingzhou and wanted to ask her if she had any opinions or suggestions on the development direction of the game for this competition.
After all, Secret Chu doesn’t understand games!
Let a person who doesn't understand games design the game framework, and the game will probably be completed 80% of the time.
However, Chu Qingzhou is not a fool.
Although she doesn’t understand games, she has recently studied the routines of many game companies!
Generally speaking, for a game company to survive and gain a firm foothold in the market, a pioneering work is essential.
It's just like the techniques used to establish a sect in martial arts novels.
Then, through this project, the company can branch out, whether it is DLC or a sequel.
In short, the goal is to quickly grab profits and complete capital accumulation while the popularity of this work is still there.
so!
Chu Qingzhou followed the example of these existing companies on the market and suggested to Shen Miaomiao to develop a sequel.
If it really doesn't work, you can choose any one of the two games "Cat Leo" and "Who's the Daddy", modify it, and release it in a different style?
Anyway, both games are very successful!
You can copy any one!
In fact, according to the logic of today's game market, Chu Qingzhou's suggestion is quite good.
But that’s exactly what it is!
Shen Miaomiao had to firmly say no!
What a joke!
Isn’t that why you are making money?
Can she still rush to dig a hole for herself?
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao shook her head and pretended to speak righteously:
"We are a company that pursues progress. At the same time, Director Gu is also an extremely creative designer,"
"How can we rest on our laurels like other companies,"
"Especially in such a crucial competition, which involves the reputation of the company and the reputation of Director Gu, we have to show our creativity even more,"
"Let's do this, this project -"
“I built it myself!”
I have to say that Shen Miaomiao's mind is indeed bright.
Especially on this evil path.
Since even Secretary Chu, who doesn’t understand games and the market, is unreliable, there is no guarantee that the game will be 100% bad.
Then why don't I go into battle myself!
There’s no way a game designed by a gaming idiot can still be popular in the gaming industry!
This time, I am personally at the helm, and I will make sure that the game is absolutely terrible, so bad that it will shock people, and it will be so bad that it breaks through the sky!
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao patted the sofa:
"Well! It's settled! Sister Chu Chu, go and inform Director Gu that we will hold a planning meeting in ten minutes!"
