But their current status in the gaming circle is that of a small gaming company?
no.
This is where Golden Wind becomes abstract.
They are using the form of a small game company to do the things of large and medium-sized game companies.
Therefore, even Yan Sheng was not able to define the size of the company that Golden Wind was.
If I have to say it forcefully:
"Forget it..."
Yan Sheng nodded and then said:
"But isn't it a bit..."
A bit too bullying.
To know!
The last time we participated in the Mini Game Festival, Golden Wind defeated many game manufacturers of the same level with its "Vampire Survivor"!
Even before the final results came out, they were already the uncrowned kings!
now!
After a year of hard work, Golden Wind has begun to make a name for itself in Asia, and has even begun to compete with domestic first-tier established manufacturers!
You said you still want to participate in the Mini Game Festival?
this……
Yan Sheng's expression was a bit complicated, and she felt that Gu Sheng was somewhat shameless.
But how could he know!
Gu Sheng's participation in the Little Game Festival this time was definitely not a prank to bully the small ones!
But to collect emotions!
Now, facing the pressure of three mountains, Gu Sheng has no other way out. He wants Yi Dashan to defeat Xun Teng and fight his way out of the heavy encirclement.
I can only take out TTF2!
Among the games he hopes to win, only TTF2 not only has a good story, but also has the scalability of a multiplayer project!
According to his estimate, by the end of next month, which is the latest development start time for the Escort masterpiece, the emotional value brought by PUBG to him should be around 900,000.
The difference is one hundred thousand.
He needs to fill it with a small game that is enough to arouse people's emotional value.
He hasn't decided yet what game to use to fill it, but he has to occupy this spot first.
Yan Sheng pondered for a moment, and finally felt that it was not appropriate for Golden Wind to participate in the Mini Game Development Festival now.
So he said: "How about this, Director Gu,"
"Because your company's current reputation and status are here, participating in the Small Game Festival is a bit too much...overkill,"
"In order to give other normal small and medium-sized game companies a fair chance to participate, let's make a compromise and see if this works."
"As a specially invited manufacturer of this mini game festival, your company will participate in our online opening ceremony,"
"At the same time, display your works at the opening ceremony,"
"Furthermore, your company's works are not subject to the fourteen-day free period and are available for sale in advance, which can be regarded as a warm-up for the Mini Game Festival,"
"Enjoy the fixed recommendations on the homepage of the Mini Game Festival, but do not participate in the ranking of the Mini Game Festival,"
"Is this appropriate?"
Gu Sheng thought for a moment and nodded.
no problem.
After all, he just wants to get publicity opportunities for small games so that more players can play them.
In fact, this time he didn't even care whether it was profitable or not, he simply wanted this game to earn him enough emotional value to unlock the core resources of TTF2.
Yan Sheng's proposal fully meets the requirements and is even more beneficial than including them on the list.
Of course Gu Sheng would not refuse such a good thing:
"Since Mr. Yan values this highly, then we are disrespectful?"
"It should, it should,"
Seeing Gu Sheng agree, Yan Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and waved:
"Director Gu is too humble."
Another pleasantries!
Yan Sheng said goodbye to the two of them and left the company.
…
After seeing Yan Sheng off, he looked at the time and saw that it was already half past ten in the morning.
This time is very awkward.
It's too early to have lunch and too late to have breakfast.
Simply, Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao strolled to the leisure area, ready to grab some snacks.
Yes.
"Catch" snacks.
In order to activate the atmosphere, relax the mood and broaden the minds of employees (this is what Shen Miaomiao said).
Mr. Shen took drastic measures and carried out a wave of "reforms" to the company!
With a wave of his little hand, he replaced the snack rack originally on the shelf with a claw machine.
There are more than ten claw machines in total, placed in a half circle around the leisure area, and there are all kinds of snacks inside.
Needless to say, potato chips and shrimp crackers, there are also all kinds of jelly and preserved biscuit sticks, which are rotated every week and replaced by the supermarket on the first floor of the shopping mall next door.
Moreover, these snack claw machines do not require coins. As long as you want to catch them, you can stand here and catch them all day long.
but!
Anyone who has played a claw machine knows that the claw machine is adjustable, and the strength of the mechanical claws is completely determined by the settings.
At this moment!
Shen Miaomiao's wisdom came -
She adjusted the gripping strength of the claw machine to a moderate position, which was similar to the one in the shopping mall. After grabbing it twenty or thirty times, she could get one.
If you want to eat snacks, just stand here and grab them!
Effectively improve fishing time and shorten working hours!
At the beginning, everyone was still trembling.
Until one day, everyone watched Mr. Shen, accompanied by deputy art director Jiang Shan, stand in front of the biscuit stick claw machine for a long time!
The bosses all take the lead in fishing!
Everyone then felt relieved and started grabbing snacks one after another.
And this is not over yet!
Some people are impatient and may not have the patience to compete with the claw machine. They also have to tighten its claws and adjust the angle of the target snack. This is troublesome!
I just want to grab it and eat it right away!
also!
Shen Miaomiao contacted the manufacturer of the claw machine and got a batch of game coins. After inserting the coins, the claws of the claw machine would be at their maximum strength and they would be able to grasp accurately.
As for how to obtain game currency, it’s also very simple——
Shen Miaomiao spent her own money to replace all the cameras in the company and upgraded them to facial recognition.
As long as employees clock out on time and clock out on time, and no longer appear in the company between 5 p.m. and 9 a.m.
If you pass the attendance test, you can get one game currency every day, which you can get from the finance lady every month.
Under such a two-pronged reverse attendance system!
For a time, the golden wind was everywhere, and the off-duty time was extremely precise!
Even Gu Sheng couldn't help but admire: If you put your mind on the project content, our company would have been listed long ago...
"Lao Gu Lao Gu, I want to eat this."
As soon as she arrived at the leisure area, Shen Miaomiao discovered that the items in the snack machine had been rotated.
The outermost snack machine contains her favorite coconut-flavored lollipops.
She knew Lao Gu's craftsmanship. He was a professional claw machine user. He could hit one out of ten without using coins, which was very impressive.
"Lollipop, this is a bit difficult..."
Gu Sheng smacked his lips and rolled up his sleeves.
It is difficult for the claw machine to catch small objects, and the lollipop is slippery, so theoretically it is difficult to catch it without inserting a coin.
"let me try."
With that said, Gu Sheng came to the snack claw machine, clicked the start button, and began to move the joystick.
While trying, he said: "This is a great escort..."
He wanted to continue what he had not finished in the meeting just now and tell little Nezha his ideas.
Including how to deal with this challenge, what ideas you have, the approximate total investment required, etc.
Of course, there is the most important point -
He wanted to tell Little Nezha not to worry, that he was confident enough to let Golden Wind reverse the situation and come out on top in this "Tian Ji Horse Racing".
Yi Dashan may not have a chance of winning, but no matter what, he will definitely not lose in this game.
But!
Shen Miaomiao thought he was going to raise some objections!
Dang even reached out his little hand and covered Gu Sheng's mouth, his tone full of the charm of the boss:
"shhhhhh——Lao Gu, there's no need to say anything. I believe in your ability. Just go ahead and do it."
"Now, your job is to focus on catching that coconut-flavored lollipop for me."
As he said this, he added in his mind:
It's a loss anyway, nothing to worry about.
When an inferior horse plays against three great generals, the total investment amount of both sides differs dozens of times.
Don't talk about making money in this case.
It's already pretty good if you can keep your pants.
The first attempt to grab failed, Gu Sheng rolled his eyes and slapped Shen Miaomiao's little hand away:
"Don't get into this with me, just say you don't understand and that will be the end of it."
That being said.
But he was still very moved inside.
If this is a small project, worth one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand, but Xiao Nezha just throws it away, maybe it’s because she’s too lazy.
But this is a project worth hundreds of millions.
It is Golden Wind's first project with a nine-digit investment, and it is also a watershed that determines whether they can take root in the Chinese game industry.
If this hurdle is passed, Golden Wind can successfully become a medium-sized game company.
But if you can't pass it, it won't be a big deal to start over, and you won't even know that the company will be gone.
After all, there are already countless such lessons learned on the market.
But Xiao Nezha can actually let go of power on such a key project, which is completely unimaginable in other companies.
This not only means that little Nezha is extremely courageous, but more importantly -
She really believes in herself, the project department, and that they can create miracles.
Gu Sheng understood.
Buzz——
The claw of the claw machine rests on the coconut lollipop.
Gu Sheng began to shake the joystick left and right to let the robotic arm swing up. He was going to change his mind and let his claws sweep the stick in and out of the cargo port while shaking.
"Then agree,"
A warm current surged up in his heart, and Gu Sheng joked:
"You can't blame me if you mess up?"
Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao, who was sitting next to her, had bright eyes!
"Hey - Lao Gu, what are you talking about? We are a family, and one family does not speak the same language as the other!"
Shen Miaomiao almost laughed out loud and tried hard to keep her expression calm:
"Don't be stressed. With you, we will never lose money on this game!!!"
Shen Miaomiao pretended and patted Gu Sheng on the shoulder.
Haha, that's what I said, and if you hear that, you won't lose money. It's just nonsense.
If you can stabilize your Taoist mind, then you won’t be doubted about your life!
Buzz——
Snap.
With a soft sound, Gu Sheng's claws swept the tail of the lollipop just as Gu Sheng expected, and swept it slightly closer to the outlet.
There is a way!
Gu Sheng's eyes lit up and he continued to repeat the operation.
Then he asked: "What about the mini game festival? Do you have any ideas?"
Oh, right.
When Gu Sheng mentioned this, Shen Miaomiao thought about it.
Just now, Lao Gu asked Yan Sheng about the Mini Game Festival. He probably wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make more money and accumulate funds for the escort masterpiece that will be launched at the end of next month.
This project...
Shen Miaomiao was not very interested.
It's just a small game. It's launched on the PC platform. Its production cost is smaller than that of the somatosensory cabin. Coupled with the size limit, it only costs one or two hundred thousand at best.
Even if it is a total loss, at most it will be a rebate of two million.
It's not as good as losing one-tenth of the money in Escort.
"What do you think?" Shen Miaomiao looked intently at the lollipops in the glass cabinet that were getting closer and closer to the outlet.
Gu Sheng swung the robotic arm and pushed the lollipop closer to the outlet: "I don't have any ideas, so I'm just asking for your opinion."
"What good advice can I have,"
Shen Miaomiao shrugged and suddenly remembered Gu Sheng's inconsistent game description before PUBG:
"I asked you to make a cooking game. Can you do it? If we make it, we will definitely lose money..."
While speaking, Shen Miaomiao rolled her eyes.
Gu Sheng would definitely not agree to this kind of project that was obviously a loss-making project.
The words have not yet been spoken!
Bah!
With Gu Sheng's superb craftsmanship, the lollipop was finally swept into the outlet and fell out with a clatter.
Gu Sheng smiled slightly: "It's not impossible."
"What doesn't work?" Shen Miaomiao was confused by Gu Sheng's meaningless words.
Gu Sheng squatted down, took out a lollipop from the delivery port and handed it to her, and then said:
"Cooking games, that's not impossible."
Shen Miaomiao froze while peeling off the candy wrapper, with a question mark on her face.
"Brother, if I remember correctly, at the opening ceremony of the Asian Games, you personally said that this type of game is mentally retarded, right? You are..."
Shen Miaomiao pointed at Gu Sheng and then at her own brain:
"Are you ready to challenge the lower limit of your IQ?"
"no,"
Gu Sheng couldn't help laughing and shook his head.
"I said that before because this type of game is really not suitable for landing in the somatosensory cabin, let alone as an e-sports project,"
"But this time, what we are going to do is a small game, and it is on the PC platform,"
"When the preconditions change, the feasibility of the game also changes,"
"It's like who was the father back then,"
"When you are bored, call your best friends and brothers, preferably lovers,"
"Experience the smoke of fireworks, prepare exquisite cooking dishes, and let the customers who come to patronize enjoy their meals and gain a sense of satisfaction,"
"Friends deepen friendships, and lovers enhance feelings,"
"You can't buy a small game worth twenty or thirty yuan, and you will suffer a loss, and you can't buy it and be fooled."
"Why not?"
oh--
After hearing Gu Sheng's description, Shen Miaomiao nodded repeatedly.
A two-player cooperative cooking game.
It sounds like a pretty good idea.
And when I think about being busy in the kitchen with my best friend or lover, I get one praise after another.
That sense of satisfaction and accomplishment must be very strong.
It can indeed promote friendship and enhance feelings.
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao twirled her lollipop: "It sounds quite reasonable, and it seems to be a type of game that I can also play."
"You can definitely play,"
Gu Sheng smiled, moved to a machine next to him, and grabbed a bag of potato chips for himself:
"Otherwise, when the time comes for the online live broadcast of the Mini Game Festival, you can join me for the two-player game. I need a partner."
Shen Miaomiao's eyes lit up: "What a great idea!"
She doesn't care about profit or loss in this game anyway, so she might as well give Lao Gu some confidence and let him make some money this time.
In this way, it can be regarded as giving Lao Gu some psychological comfort to a certain extent.
Standing up with a lollipop in her mouth, Shen Miaomiao patted Gu Sheng on the shoulder and extended her thumb of approval:
"With our two swords working together, we will definitely make this live broadcast interesting and the game a big hit!"
Seeing the high mood of little Nezha, Gu Sheng smiled and thought to himself:
It doesn't matter whether I sell it or not. Anyway, my main focus is to collect emotional value. If it is not too obvious to sell it for free, I will just give away the game. It doesn't matter if I lose money. I can make back the money with the escort masterpiece.
Thinking!
Gu Sheng thought.
[System, help me unlock "Nonsense Kitchen"]
…
Time flies by.
At this time, although it is late autumn and early winter, and the weather is getting cooler, there is a fiery atmosphere in the Bird's Nest in Zhongjing!
A huge stage with exquisite decoration is located in the middle of the venue, with bright lights.
Hundreds of somatosensory cabins surround the main stage like stars over the moon, overflowing with light and dazzling.
Located on the four-sided screen in the center of the venue, a man wearing a white shirt, jeans, and a heavy helmet jumped out on a motorcycle during the explosion!
The scheduled viewing venue for the event was packed with seats and flags flying!
The scene was filled with cheers and excitement!
As the music plays in the venue!
The lively cheers and applause soared into the sky, and the voice of the DJ on the side of the scene——
"ladies and gentlemen--"
"Welcome to the '6th Asian E-Sports Game Developers Conference Awards Ceremony and " "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" Project Asia Invitational Exhibition Competition' Live!"
"welcome everybody!!!"
boom--!!!
The stadium with thousands of people suddenly burst into cheers!
Flames erupted from the stage.
Fireworks around the venue also burst out simultaneously!
Bang!
Brilliant fireworks exploded over the Bird's Nest venue.
The big LOGO of the 6th Asian Games, combined with the colorful light beams that shoot straight into the sky, lights up in the sky, making it dazzling!
good!
After a month of competition, this four-year Pan-Asian E-Sports Game Developers Conference finally produced the final champion ten days ago!
Golden Wind, a game manufacturer from China, beats the competition with a cost of 50 million, 1.5 million sets, and total sales of nearly 150 million!
As soon as the news was announced, the Chinese gaming community was in a state of excitement!
Countless congratulatory calls came one after another, and various angel investments came in one after another!
For a time, Golden Wind has become the most attractive and delicious food in the gaming circle!
From the gaming industry to the media industry, and even some industries that have nothing to do with gaming, they have all extended an olive branch to Golden Wind!
There are even many people who, through Shen Wanlin’s connections, want to inject capital into Golden Wind and get a share of the pie!
For this reason, Shen Wanlin specially called Shen Miaomiao home for an interview.
And Shen Miaomiao's attitude was also very firm - free sponsorship is acceptable, and there is no need to discuss investment sharing.
at the same time!
The auditions for the Asian Games’ e-sports competition are also about to begin!
Since the game has only been released for a month, relevant clubs must not have been established yet, and even many large clubs are still maintaining a wait-and-see attitude.
Therefore, the competition will still take the form of an exhibition match as in previous years.
After several rounds of online competition, five teams were selected from each of the five Asian major competitions, with a total of 25 teams of 100 people, coming to the Bird's Nest to participate in the final offline finals!
Outside the venue, the autumn wind was bleak.
And the field was filled with heat!——
