375. What new game is good to make?

Another very important point is that the reason why Cao Yang made the ghost blowing light is because its structure is particularly suitable for series of games.

Although there are many words in Ghost Blowing Light, in fact, every tomb exploration can be regarded as a relatively independent and three-dimensional part. In this way, each tomb exploration process can be developed into an independent game.

But they are not unrelated, but are inextricably linked, and all the tomb explorations are connected through some details.

"Ghost Blows Out the Light" will be divided into four major parts at the beginning, and it will also be composed of 4 stories-

Jingjue Ancient City, Longling Mysterious Cave, Yunnan Insect Valley and Kunlun Divine Palace.

Each story corresponds to an ancient tomb.

The most attractive thing about the novel "Tomb-Exploring" theme is the grave. The tombs are full of various mechanisms and various unknown creatures, which surprise readers and curious. There are also four tombs in the main story of the first part of "Ghost Blows Out the Light", each with unique features.

Although many of them are made up and fantasized by the author himself, many things are derived from real life and history.

It actually has a good communication effect on the spread of classical Chinese artifact culture and some events that have occurred in ancient Chinese history.

If the scenes and puzzles shown in the book can be really been shown--

If the mechanisms, complicated decorations and various puzzles in the ancient tombs are made, they will definitely become a very good game series.

As long as the world bachang keeps writing, the game will continue to be developed.

...

In the next two hours, Cao Yang told Li Lanyun how to play "Ghost Blows Out the Light" if it was to be made into a game.

In fact, the workload is not small, which is equivalent to really building an ancient tomb for it in the game. It is easy to describe it in the novel, but difficult to make it. How much floor area is, how many layers are, how to form it, and how to connect it to each other.

What changes will happen to the scene when triggering the mechanism...

These are actually a new test for art and procedures, and are not as simple as what Boss Cao said to be a Chinese version of the Tomb Raider.

In addition, we have to build a large peripheral environment, the conflicts between enemies and monsters...the conflicts between characters are actually much more difficult than writing books.

"Okay," Li Lanyun's tears were almost falling after hearing what Cao Yang said.

Boss Cao is trying to force Deng Peiqiang and Ma Hao to death.

"It seems to be another big production. It takes a lot of time just to prepare and construct the underground palace." Li Lanyun said.

"Yes." Cao Yang admitted this, "It doesn't matter, do it slowly, we don't have to be so anxious this time."

With more projects in the company, it is enough to have new masterpieces born every year. You don’t have to be so harsh on every product. After that, the main focus of making this 3A masterpiece is on quality.

"You can recruit people according to the situation. Isn't this year's autumn recruitment going to start again?" Cao Yang said, "At that time, list the list of personnel needed by various departments for Sister Hua and ask her to help arrange it."

After several years of development, the number of employees of Bomi Company has exceeded 50,000.

Among them, 20,000 people are scattered in the local promotion personnel, mobile phone sales personnel, maintenance personnel, and customer service personnel.

Otherwise, one Bomi Building would not accommodate so many people at all.

In the imperial capital, the current number of employees in Bomi Building is 11,400.

Then, Bomi Pictures, which is in charge of Ai Xiaomi, has nearly 500 employees.

Director department, filming and editing department, sound effect department, special effects production department, accounting, personnel department, program department, art department, venture capital department, operation department, legal department, strategic department...

Although Bomi Pictures is still in its infancy, it is not less than a small and medium-sized game company.

In addition, Bomi Pictures has also signed contracts with some artists, and the artists are also equipped with corresponding instructors and assistants...

A total of 500 people is relatively small.

According to Cao Yang's plan this year, the number of employees of Bomi Film will expand to more than 1,500 on this basis.

Although Bomi Pictures has been losing money for years, Boss Cao and various capitals are optimistic about it.

Penguin's employees have also reached 10,000. Next year, in 2008, the Bomi Shencheng Building will be completed in Shenzhen, and a building that can accommodate nearly 15,000 people will be built.

Most of the construction has now been built and has become a very famous landmark in the area.

Then there is the Bomi mobile phone department in Wuhan, with the number of employees exceeding 1,000, and this number is still expanding.

This is when Bomi Company basically does not do mobile phone assembly, but outsources all processing and assembly work. Otherwise, the combined number of employees of the mobile phone department and its large factories can exceed 5,000.

Then there is Bomi Information Platform, Bomi Culture, Bomi Big Data Center, Bomi Technology Research Center...

...

The employees are mainly concentrated in several cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Wuhan.

But this scale is already a bit scary.

This year, Bomi has planned an enrollment plan between 5,000 and 8,000 people.

This is a number that was quite terrifying in 2007.

In addition to the students recruited by the school, the number of nearly 5,000 employees should be added to the society.

In other words, after next 2008, the number of employees of Bomi Company will bring a very terrifying 70,000 people.

The huge number of employees is enough to prove how terrible the size of Bomi Company is now.

And this monster is still expanding.

Cao Yang is sometimes a little scared. If it weren't for the state's investment, it might not be possible to be split up after a period of development.

However, for Cao Yang, Han Xin ordered the more troops, and the most important thing is that he has enough outstanding talents to help run and develop the company.

Cao Yang must not dare to take credit for Bomi's success. It is all condensed by the sweat of his employees. Cao Yang knew very clearly about this.

As the boss, what Cao Yang does is nothing at all.

"It should be easier to recruit students this year," Cao Yang laughed confidently, "After all, Bomi's reputation is now emerging, and we have cooperated with major universities."

"Well," Li Lanyun said with a smile, "our company has become a hot commodity now, and many fresh graduates from schools are rushing to come to our company.

Good benefits, high salaries, no need to work overtime, and can do what you like, which is very fulfilling."

Not working overtime is one of Boss Cao's insistence, but it is not absolute. For example, although the big management teams such as Li Lanyun and Cao Yang do not work overtime in the company, they have to take things home to do it, otherwise their brains will not work and it will be difficult for the people below to execute.

Fortunately, Bomi Company no longer needs to be so rush, according to Cao Yang's idea—

Now Bomi Company only requires stability and just make steady progress.

In the next ten years, the word "stable" may be an important strategic idea of ​​Bomi.

So Cao Yang is not in a hurry to develop the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" plan this time. As long as he can achieve quality, it will be fine for two or three years, three or four years.

"Okay." Li Lanyun nodded, "I will summarize a list of personnel required by the relevant departments of Bomi Interactive Entertainment, send it to Sister Hua, and then copy it to you."

"Um."

"So where is the most suitable development project for Ghost Blowing Light?" Li Lanyun asked, "Put it in the Journey to the West project or the Guofeng Studio?"

Or it can be placed in King's Studio.”

These studios now have a relatively successful stand-alone masterpiece.

Guofeng Studio Group has done "Shan Hai Jing" and "Assassin's Soul"

Kings Studio Group has done "Gun Girl"

Journey to the West Studio's recent "God of War·Wukong" has just been released, and they are actually capable of making this game well.

The key is where to put it in.

In fact, according to Li Lanyun's idea, it is reasonable to put it in any studio group. After all, Ghost Blows Out the Light is a story about a group of modern people exploring the tombs. The King Studio Group itself mainly focuses on modern cities, fantasy, magic, and all fantasy themes.

It is not impossible for Journey to the West Studio to join such game projects with a little mythological or supernatural colors.

Not to mention the National Style Studio, as long as it is related to the National Style and ancient culture, you can put it in this studio group for development.

The only problem is-

The Guofeng Studio Group has already had two series of masterpieces. Is it a bit too saturated? And it has a sense of dominance. As a management team, you need to weigh it and let the people below feel fair.

"It's okay," Cao Yang thought for a while, "you draw people from several departments and we will set up a new studio group, called the [Trail Blazers] studio group. In the future, some games that need to be explored and have high requirements for programs and art are put into this."

Trail Blazers Studio?

Li Lanyun frowned, "Is there a lot of studio groups?"

Originally, according to the normal development of a game company, there would generally be no such explosion in so many studios, but this time, because Cao Yang has advanced design concepts, each studio group has its own development.

It can even be said that any studio group under Bomi Company can become a giant in the industry if it is picked up separately.

It's really a bit scary to think about it.

"It's okay, this should be the last studio group." Cao Yang said, "We are likely to not add other studios in the future."

In my previous life, Penguin had 5 studio groups:

Tianmei, photons, northern lights, Rubik's Cube, and next.

Although next is not a nominal studio group, there are also quite a lot of games developed.

Now Bomi Company also has 5 studio groups:

King, national style, Journey to the West, Western fantasy, pioneers.
