Kiwi Studio is small in scale, with more than 20 people.
During the afternoon meeting, even the small conference room was not full. This team specializes in social games, currently on the computer side, and will naturally develop into mobile games in the future.
According to today's scheduled itinerary, 30 minutes are left for the meeting, and the pace is relatively fast.
""Grab Parking Space" and "Friend Trading" are mainly version updates, upgrading some gameplay and paid props. The test of "Moore Manor" is over and waiting for your instructions.
As for the new game, we are working on a game called "Aquarium".
At the beginning, you are given some shells, which are the currency in the game. Then you buy a basic small fish, feed it with fish food, and wait for it to grow up and sell it to earn money.
After accumulating funds, you can buy higher-grade fish and earn more money.
In terms of social interaction, it is mainly reflected in the fact that you can steal fish and fish food from your friends, and you can also help your friends to feed them..."
The employees were a little apprehensive when they reported that there was no essential difference between "Aquarium" and "Parking Space", and they were afraid that the boss would scold them for not using their brains.
But Yao Yuan didn't care at all. The core gameplay of social games was basically the same. He just felt that this game was not open enough.
After pondering for a while, which made the employees uneasy, he said: "Let's change the name to "Happy Fishing Ground". "Aquarium" sounds petty when I hear it.
There are many associations with the fishery, which makes it easy to upgrade in the future. For example, if we want to get a coral, a seahorse, or even a whale for players to raise, it would be too outrageous to call it "Aquarium"."
"Oh! Why didn't I think of it, "Happy Fishing Ground"? Okay, that's great!"
"You are still far-sighted, but we are too short-sighted!"
"It's impossible to raise a whale. When it comes out, the players won't be able to cheer and get excited?"
"As expected of Mr. Yao, the most creative in the world!"
Um???
Yao Yuan put forward his opinion and received a series of flattery, which was like loose stools, and a thick stench that was like a rice dumpling in later generations.
Are you going to say "Mr. Yao is really a genius? He breathes in the storm and stomps jiojio happily?"
If you go too far, do you have to memorize "President Yao's Quotations"?!
He hates this, because it will affect his judgment. Just like now, he is a little confused whether the employee really didn't think of it, or whether he deliberately left a loophole so that he could use it.
"alright!"
Yao Yuan knocked on the table, with a serious face, and said: "From now on, we will have meetings, stop talking nonsense, and get out of here right away if I find out!"
A group of people were like ducks whose necks were pinched, and they were immediately embarrassed. Yao Yuan did not hold on, and continued: ""Happy Fishing Ground" will be done as I said, and the thinking can be extended a little bit.
"Happy Fishery" is about raising aquatic products, so can we grow vegetables? How about building another "Happy Farm"?
By analogy, is it possible to build a "Happy Ranch"? There are aquatic products, agricultural products, and livestock products, so is it also reasonable to build an industrial chain and build a "Happy Restaurant"?
In this way, they are linked together, and one is introduced in each stage, which can enrich the fun."
Wow!
If I was really suspected of being a flatterer just now, I am really convinced now. As we all know, Boss Yao has a bigger brain than Kennedy!
"Have you already started working on "Happy Fishing Ground"?"
"Yes!"
"Let's let it go first and develop the farm first."
"..."
The employees were puzzled. One person asked: "Mr. Yao, there is no essential difference between these games. Why do we need to build a farm first?"
"no the same!"
Yao Yuan looked at the time and saw that it was almost over, and said: "In addition to being playable and interesting, there is one more thing you must remember when developing games, which is to stay close to tradition.
Northeastern people eat dumplings, Sichuan people eat spicy food, Lu Xun likes Runtu, Runtu likes tying the knot, priests like little boys, little boys like Japanese people, and Japanese people like Hebei colorful flowers. All these are traditions.
The same is true for games. Although Chinese people fish and raise livestock, what are their habits that have been passed down genetically for thousands of years?
It’s farming!”
…………
The developer of the food-stealing game is a company called "Five Minutes".
But this company didn’t have this name at first, and it didn’t make games at first, but other businesses. Due to the financial crisis, it couldn’t get any jobs, so it was by mistake that it entered the game production industry.
If Yao Yuan can find it, he will definitely buy it. If he can't find it or is too lazy to look for it, then he can do it himself.
By the way, in early May, the most exciting thing in the gaming circle was the renewal of contracts between Ninetowns taking over "Audition" and World of Warcraft.
Half-truths and half-false news are flying all over the place. One time it is said that Ninetowns bought the song copyright at an exorbitant price. Another time it is said that Ninetowns cannot stand the exploitation by Blizzard.
City white-eyed wolf and so on...
Needless to say more about "World of Warcraft", almost all game developers are watching it.
But the asking price was too high, and few leading companies had the guts to take it. NetEase’s final price was US$200 million, and some said it was US$300 million, which was an exaggeration anyway.
There were too many bad things surrounding World of Warcraft and Blizzard, and Yao Yuan was not interested.
As each day passed, the annoyance hidden in his heart became more and more serious, but he had no way to express it, so he kept a straight face on weekdays, causing speculation in the company.
There are even rumors that Mr. Yao’s marriage has become an affair and that his adopted son-in-law has killed his father...
This evening, around 9 o'clock.
In the house in Haidian, Yao Yuan was watching TV and eating a simple dinner when he suddenly heard the door open and the busy man Yin Yin came back.
"Hey, why is it so early today?"
"I went to have a dinner and came back early."
Yinyin changed into a pair of slippers and was obviously a little thinner, but she was in good spirits and said: "The big framework of our website is finished. We will go online with a little more work and officially start the work... What are you eating?"
She came over to take a look, okay! A few big steamed buns, a pack of pork head meat, a spicy cabbage, a boiled peanut, and an unknown pickle.
"This is what you want to eat? It's a Korean state banquet?"
"It's a joke, how about having me at the Korean state banquet? Pork head meat is quite expensive!"
"That's too dry. Let me make you some soup."
Yinyin worked quickly, making tomato and egg soup as she spoke, and then she stood next to Yao Yuan, with the faint smell of sour plum drink coming from her breath.
"You didn't drink?"
"I don't like drinking."
"Does your employee have any objections?"
"Who dares to let me drink!"
"What about meeting investors in the future?"
"Then I won't drink either. Drinking can indeed help you get things done, but there is always a way to avoid drinking."
"That's true..."
Yao Yuan will use wine to socialize to achieve his goals, but he may not like it in his heart.
People always call the wine table culture. The wine table is the wine table. It’s a culture! How to arrange the seats, who orders the food, who toasts first, who toasts first, what words to say... This thing is essentially to let the subordinates
obedience.
The two of them hadn't been alone for a long time, and Yin Yin was a little bit coquettish. When she saw him finish eating, she rested her head on his lap.
Yao Yuan touched her face and said, "Your mother called me."
"What?"
"Let's go over there tomorrow and look at the wedding dresses."
"Wedding dress?"
"That sounds like what you mean, your mother seems to have visited all the bridal shops in Beijing, got a bunch of picture albums and so on, and asked us to pick out styles."
"Then go in the evening and wait until I get off work."
Yao Yuan was quite surprised and said with a smile: "You are really picky. I thought you would design it yourself?"
"How can I have time? The website will be online soon, and I still have to develop users..."
Yinyin said a few words, as if she was afraid that he would misunderstand, and then explained: "It's not that I don't pay attention to the wedding. I'm really looking forward to it, but I'm really busy during this period..."
"I understand, I understand, it was the same when I first started my business."
"Yeah, starting a business is really a good medicine. It makes me so passionate that I can't stop."
"You sound like it's an aphrodisiac!"
whispering sound!
Yinyin hit him, blinked, and smiled: "Do you still have the aphrodisiac?"
not good!
He came back too early today and had been together for a long time. He couldn't let the topic develop and said quickly: "Every stage of men is different. My entrepreneurial period has passed. I can't bring up any passion now. In a few years, I will be three
When you are more than ten years old, you should be playing beads, fishing, and doing photography."
"If you don't want to do something, don't do it. Who cares?"
Yinyin gave him a blank look and went to take a shower angrily.
Yao Yuan shrugged, he was really in a bad mood recently. When a man is not good, he talks more and finds various excuses to excuse himself, or avoids the important and changes the topic.
Just like a group of friends, they are always in groups...
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
There was a clear sound of water flowing in the bathroom, and it stopped after a while. Judging from the speed, it should be a small wash, a simple rinse. If it was a formal wash, it would take an hour to prime.
It's a mysterious thing for girls to take a shower. I don't know what they are doing in there.
Yao Yuan put away the dishes and chopsticks, sat in front of the computer, and opened Maili Video. Today, a commercial film "The Disciple", a literary film "Blessed Ears", an old ATV drama "Swordsman", and a
Part MV.
The types are pretty complete.
"What are you looking at?"
Yin Yin came out wrapped in a bath towel and sat on his lap as usual. 186 plus 182, the two of them were like giraffes on top of each other.
"just looking around!"
Yao Yuan casually clicked on the MV video, and a familiar melody came. It was "BJ Welcomes You", which is more popular than the Olympic theme song. It was freshly released.
"My home is planted with evergreens, and every legend is open to the public..."
It is still a chorus of stars, all 99 entertainment singers are on the stage, in addition to the original Li Yuchun, Zhang Liangying, Dao Lang, Jin Sha, there are also Phoenix Legend, Liu Xijun and Huang Ling.
"This song is good!"
After listening to it, Yinyin expressed her affirmation at first, and then said: "But I still like your work."
"Where do I have any works?"
"'Youth'! If there hadn't been 'Youth' back then, your pursuit of me would have been at least three months longer."
"But I haven't done it for a long time. Besides, I'm such a big boss and personally plan the MV. I won't do it!"
"oops!"
Yinyin hugged his neck and started to rub her, and said: "Don't even think about it. This year's Olympics is such a big thing. If you do one, just treat it as a souvenir... And I want to see it!"
