Chapter 1065 Top Ten Game Development Departments
"Infinite Horror Online"
As the audience shouted "Infinite Horror Online", Lin Feng sat down with a smile.
At this time, the artistic performance of the third "Second World Players Annual Meeting" also ended amidst the excitement of the audience.
Immediately after the theatrical performance is the player entrance ceremony. At every "Second World Players Annual Meeting", Lin Feng will invite many players to perform live. This year, with the increase in games, and the joining of the original "Blizzard Entertainment Company"
, this time, Lin Feng invited a total of 528 players to the scene to show everyone their style in the game.
"Legend", "Swordsman Online", "Counter-Strike Online"..., players of major games under "Second World" cosplayed into the characters in their games, entered the venue one after another, and resisted the huge "judgment"
"("Legend") warriors include knights holding "Golden Snake Swords" ("Swordsman Online"), and "Thunderbolt Team" ("Counter-Strike Online") who carry "M16" from time to time to aim and shoot, 528
There are 528 different costumes of players, and many spectators were mesmerized. Sometimes they clapped their hands, sometimes they burst into laughter. They were in awe of Lin Feng for inviting players to cosplay in such a generous way.
Seeing this scene, the CEOs of major game companies around the world turned even greener. Lin Feng actually invited 528 players from all over the world (mainly China) to come to Shanghai to participate in this game player event. This was so generous.
It's a big expense. Even if these players come to participate in the competition voluntarily and show off their talents, the transportation, accommodation, and catering expenses are unavoidable. The accommodation and catering expenses for these two days, plus the round trip
The average air ticket cost (including train ticket) is at least US$500 per person, which is US$264,000.
Of course, this does not include the costumes worn by many players. Even with this gorgeous and realistic costume, it is conservatively estimated that the full set of equipment per person is worth about 100 US dollars. In short, the "Second World" is too big.
.
Although this amount of money does not seem like much, it is still a considerable expense for many companies. Most companies only spend so much money on holding a game exhibition. In the end, Lin Feng only invited players.
It’s a bit of an exaggeration to spend that much. Of course, the current market value of “Second World” is already one of the best in the world, second only to “Microsoft” (“Microsoft” also has a game department, and the market value of “Second World”
It is the merger of the game department and the hardware development department), ranking before the entertainment multimedia kingdom "Sony", and even before "Nintendo", the old game empire, ranking second in the world.
It can be said that "Second World" is currently the only competitor that can barely compete with "Microsoft" in terms of funding in the game field. Others, including "Sony" and "Nintendo", can only rely on others in front of the wealthy "Microsoft"
.
Therefore, for "Second World", spending $260,000 on players is really not a lot. It's just a bit of a pain compared to most other game companies.
After the 30-minute player entrance ceremony, there is the opening speech. This is also the most anticipated part of the game every year. You know, at this moment, they can see with their own eyes how many rich people will appear in this venue.
How many celebrities.
Although, when watching the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, there will be more celebrities appearing. But most of them are national leaders, and all the audience must be in admiration, and they are all watching on TV. And in the "Second World Players Year"
At the meeting, everyone saw it with their own eyes, and most of them were business dignitaries or superstars. Everyone did not need to look at these people with an attitude of admiration or even reverence. Everyone could look at these people with an extremely relaxed attitude.
Guests present.
Lin Feng stood up.
"First of all, thank you very much for coming, thank you very much! I won't say any more nonsense. You don't want to hear it, do you?" Lin Feng spoke long and short, making fun.
The scene was full of laughter. In addition to coming here for the game exhibition, they also came for Lin Feng. There are few rich people who have such a joking spirit as Lin Feng, which gave everyone a feeling of closeness. And this kind of closeness
The feeling also unknowingly affects players’ attitude towards the “Second World”.
"According to common sense, I should introduce the guests present today. After all, they don't want to travel thousands of miles and put down all kinds of tedious matters to come here to support me and 'sit' for me. I should thank them!" Lin Feng said loudly!
.
After hearing this, many guests beside Lin Feng burst into laughter and cursed. People like him were so good that they were "sitting on the stage". There was also a burst of laughter in the audience. Few people dared to describe these business dignitaries as "sitting on the stage"
Yes, this is easily confused with "Miss Sitting on the Stage". Of course, Lin Feng dared to say this because he had a good relationship with everyone and no one would care.
"However, today I don't want to introduce them first, but I am going to introduce the top ten heads of game development departments of our company to everyone! They are the real contributors to the success of the 'Second World'!" Lin Feng took the lead in applauding.
.
There was a burst of applause from the audience. Players have long been full of curiosity about the "Second World" game development department. However, because these top ten game development department heads have always been extremely low-key and extremely mysterious, for most players
He said that he had never seen their true face in Lushan. He did not expect that he would be able to see them today, and it was a real honor.
"This is Mr. Cui Mingze, the first director of the game development department of our company! He is the main planner of "Legend", "Audition", and "Virtual Life"!" Lin Feng pointed at Cui Ming not far away.
Then introduce it.
Cui Mingze stood up and bowed slightly to the players around him.
A round of applause.
"This is Qiu Xin, the second director of the Game Development Department, who planned "Swordsman Love Online"!" Lin Feng pointed at Qiu Xin and introduced.
Qiu Xin raised his voice and gestured to the audience around him by cupping his fists.
An even louder round of applause.
"This is Wu Gang, the third director of the game development department. He was once the main planner of "Blood Lion" and is currently responsible for the development of "Infinite Horror Online"!" Lin Feng pointed at Wu Gang and introduced.
There was a burst of exclamation in the audience. "Blood Lion", once the pride of domestic real-time strategy games, did not expect that its main creative staff would come to work in the "Second World" so early. This is really surprising. Of course, for most people present
Players may have never heard of "Blood Lion", but those experienced players are very familiar with it.
"This is Mr. Gates, the head of the original 'valve' studio. Maybe some people in the 'valve' studio are unfamiliar, but "Counter-Strike" and "Half-Life" were developed by this 'valve'
!" Lin Feng said with a smile.
The applause from the audience seemed to be shaking the world. You know, there are a few games in the player's computer that will never be deleted, even ten years later, and that is "Counter-Strike". Now see "Counter-Strike"
The original staff of "Elite" should naturally be applauded.
Lin Feng smiled for a while.
"Everyone, Mr. Gates is mainly responsible for the development of the "Half-Life" series. There is another person for "Counter-Strike"!" Lin Feng explained.
The applause suddenly died down, and then the whole audience burst into laughter. They laughed because they and others showed wrong feelings.
"Haha, this Miss Jade Raymond is now the director of the fourth game development department, responsible for the development of a new first-person action game "Assassin's Creed"!" Lin Feng introduced.
Wow! There is actually a woman in a game company, and she serves as the director of the game development department. This is really surprising! Can a woman develop a good game? Most players are skeptical.
In response to everyone's looks of surprise and disbelief, Jade Raymond smiled and gestured to sit down. However, she held her breath in her heart. There has always been an unwritten agreement in the gaming industry, that is, the gaming industry is not suitable for
Women. Of course, for example, women can be hired in areas such as art, but in key positions, women are not qualified. This makes Jade Raymond quite unconvinced, and now it is questioned by many players present, which makes Jade Ray
Mond was even more angry, and she was secretly determined to develop a hardcore action game that would stun all men, proving that women can also develop good games.
"Everyone, this Mr. Minwu Li is the main planner of "Counter-Strike" and is also known as the father of CS by the outside world. He is now the head of the fifth game development department." Lin Feng glanced at Jade Raymond.
After that, continue the introduction.
Wow~~~ There was a round of applause, and it was the same as the cold scene that Jade Raymond encountered just now, in the sky and on the ground.
Minwu-Li felt secretly happy. The player's reaction was so...cute. Of course, as a man, he felt a little proud. At first, Lin Feng was very excited about promoting Jade Raymond to become the fourth player in the game.
The director of the development department and the company also had a huge reaction, and they did not understand Lin Feng's decision. However, with Gates' strong recommendation and Lin Feng's prestige, the doubts within the company were suppressed. However, many employees of the company (including
Senior management and ordinary employees) still somewhat look down on Jade Raymond, thinking that she has some good ideas, but she is not capable enough to be in charge of a game development department!
The applause from these players now fully proves that the gaming field is still a men’s world!
Jade Raymond was even more angry and clenched her fists tightly. She must develop the best game and prove it to everyone.
Looking at Jade Raymond, who was clenching his teeth in anger, Lin Feng smiled slightly. Lin Feng promoted Jade Raymond to the position of the fourth director of the game development department, and he was also under tremendous pressure. Lin Feng could be so determined.
Its ability is because later generations know the success of "Assassin's Creed". But now that she is reborn, everything has changed. Jade Raymond also proposed the "Assassin's Creed" plan in advance. Is her current experience and ability enough?
?
Lin Feng couldn't guarantee it, so Lin Feng deliberately provoked Jade Raymond today. As the saying goes, it is better to provoke the general than to please him, so the effect will be better!
Of course, don’t over-stimulate it, otherwise it will exceed its endurance and it will be counterproductive!
"This is Mr. Joe Van Canhem, the director of our Sixth Game Development Department. Everyone must be very unfamiliar with this name, but the "Heroes" series and "Might and Magic" series he designed and developed must be familiar to everyone!
Lin Feng introduced with a smile.
There was a round of applause at the scene. "Heroes of Might and Magic" is a well-known name for all players. The turn-based strategy game it pioneered set a precedent for games in the industry. Countless players are obsessed with it and are crazy about it.
Joe Van Kanchem smiled. He was originally unwilling to attend such a grand event, but under Lin Feng's strong request, Joe Van Kanchem had to agree to attend. But he was still a little uncomfortable, although
Being admired and worshiped by others is a very satisfying thing, but for Jovan Canhem, he would rather stay alone in his "empty boudoir" and immerse himself in the development of games.
"This is Mr. Takashi Nishiyama, the seventh director of the game development department of our company. He is responsible for the industry-famous "King of Fighters" series. He is currently responsible for the follow-up research and development of "The Strongest on Earth"!" Lin Feng continued to introduce.
.
Nishiyama Takashi stood up and bowed.
There was applause from the audience. Although many players were unhappy with Nishiyama Takashi's identity as a Japanese. But when I thought about it, no matter how powerful this Japanese was, he still had to work for Lam Feng Company. When I thought about it, I felt much happier.
"As for the eighth director of the game department, I think everyone must be very familiar with it. Mr. Wu Zhaopu, our company's vice president, is temporarily responsible for the operation of e-sports!" Lin Feng introduced with a smile.
Many players are very familiar with Wu Zhaopu. Apart from Lin Feng, he is the most familiar to everyone. Whenever Lin Feng is not in the company, Wu Zhaopu is the spokesperson. Perhaps because of being so familiar, Wu Zhaopu gets the smallest applause. Of course,
, still higher than Jade Raymond.
"As for the director of the Ninth Game Development Department, it is also a newly established department of the company. I think everyone must be very familiar with the games he develops, but he may not be very familiar with the people!" Lin Feng said calmly.
"Blizzard! Blizzard! Blizzard!" At this moment, the players on the scene had begun to shout.
You must know that all players (mainly Chinese players) are very excited about the acquisition of Blizzard by "Second World". Although the sudden emergence of "Second World" has earned face for the Chinese game industry, it has greatly made a difference in the international game industry.
The limelight. But it must be admitted that the main customer base of "Second World" is still in Asia. In China, although the emergence of "Virtual Life" and "Farm Frenzy" has made "Second World" a transnational game empire, this
Both games are not large-scale games in the standard sense, and both have some elements of casual games. This makes the outside world still have reservations about the strength of "Second World".
