Chapter 109 The project is officially established! Everyone stands up!
Oops——
You can really brag.
Shen Miaomiao secretly laughed in her heart, laughing at Gu Sheng's whims.
This is our game.
First, give players a beautifully packaged product from a profiteer named Qujinshaoliang, and then add a free DLC with in-app purchases.
Just this one operation.
Don't talk about players, I almost want to scold you.
This is simply using the reputation accumulated by one's previous works as consumption coupons and squandering them at will.
At that time, not only will this work collapse, but also future works will be implicated, with constant criticism and poor sales.
but me!
Shen Miaomiao!
She will grab a huge amount of wealth from it and become that super rich little woman who is just behind the ruined supernova and counting money crazily!
A better life is right in front of you!
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao's mood became even more beautiful and she slapped her face:
"Okay, now that the problem has been solved, can we play the game?"
"certainly!"
After solving the problem that had been bothering him, Gu Sheng regained his strength and picked up the controller:
"Turn on the fire and cook!"
Toot——
The diner started moving again.
After a while, the sound of birds and flowers came from the conference room:
"No lettuce! I've told you more than three thousand times that there's no lettuce in this single burger, so it's just stuffed in, right?"
"You son of a bitch! You definitely didn't say that! Besides, if you don't add lettuce, why don't you throw the lettuce at my feet?"
"Next time I play games with you, I have to bring a monitor!"
"Hey! There's no need! I'll install surveillance cameras in the conference room tomorrow! Just to record your harsh words and evil deeds!"
"You Shen Miaomiao are so arrogant!"
"You are making trouble without reason, Gu Sheng!"
"Don't imitate me!"
"Don't imitate me!"
"You want to study again?"
"You want to study again?"
"Shen Miaomiao is a pig!"
"I'll kill you - a dog thief!!!"
"..."
…
A few days later.
Binjiang Technology Building.
Golden Wind Conference Room.
Click.
As the conference room door was pushed open, the five core project department managers already present in the conference room looked back.
I saw Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao walking in one after another.
Behind him, Chief Secretary Chu Qingzhou also came in holding the meeting minutes, and the three of them sat down.
Sitting at the front seat, Shen Miaomiao looked around the conference room and nodded: "We are all here. Let's get started. Director Gu will introduce the situation first."
Saying that, Shen Miaomiao looked at Gu Sheng.
The two looked at each other, Gu Sheng nodded and said:
"Yesterday, Mr. Shen and I went to Zhongjing to participate in the project mobilization meeting for the art tour. I believe everyone knows that,"
"Now let me give you a brief introduction to the meeting,"
"The main theme of yesterday's meeting was that three manufacturers were present, namely us, Nu Yan and Kol, the developers of the three escort masterpieces,"
"The purpose of the meeting is to let our three manufacturers communicate, understand each other, and take care of each other in the future,"
"Secondly, Yiyou also took this opportunity to show the participants the development progress of Yiyou x2, as well as the full-sensory assistive technology that is basically completed and has passed the neurosafety test,"
"It is no exaggeration to say that this is a technological explosion in the somatosensory cabin."
Gu Sheng's tone was firm and there was no hint of bragging.
He personally experienced this assistive technology yesterday.
Two words——
fear.
With the support of auxiliary technology, Yiyu x2 handles the details of the environment rendering in the game, truly making it look like the real thing.
Give a simple example.
The game sets up a player sitting at a table and writing.
Under the basic full-sensory system, players can feel the temperature of the paper, the touch of objects, and hear the swishing sound of pencil writing.
However, with the enhancement of assistive technology, in addition to the above, players can also feel the dust on the desktop, feel the friction between the pen tip and the paper, and the subtle feedback of the paper when the handwriting is pressed.
This kind of microscopic level detail optimization gave Gu Sheng a great shock. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was even creepy.
Because at that moment, he seemed to see that the seemingly invisible barrier between virtuality and reality was completely broken.
The door to the imaginary world is completely open.
A real second world is ready and waiting for pioneers to explore, expand territory and establish immortal achievements here.
Gu Sheng regretted it after experiencing it!
Damn what a mistake!
Shouldn’t have done Titanfall!
I should have come out of the entire mirror!
Shooting, innovation, and experience are all reflected!
Too careless!
Immediately, Gu Sheng secretly vowed that when the time comes, he must become a mirror with the protection of the game rating system.
Um……
However, it is definitely too late to change items now. Titanfall with millions of emotional points has already been redeemed.
Besides, it seems a bit outrageous for a major escort game to give people butter.
Let’s put the mirror back slightly.
Thinking about it, Gu Sheng said:
"This is the basic situation of yesterday's meeting,"
"Then I called everyone here today. I believe you all know why,"
"I sent the TTF project plan to everyone yesterday. What are your thoughts?"
good.
Just yesterday, Gu Sheng finally produced the plan for "Titanfall" after several edits, revisions, and additions.
The theme of today's meeting is the "Titanfall" project planning meeting.
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, some of them looked at me and I looked at you.
Finally, everyone turned their attention back to Gu Sheng, their expressions seemed a little hesitant.
no doubt!
Nowadays, Gu Sheng's position in the company is at its peak.
Whether it’s the ten-fold cost gap in defeating Guangyao in Path of Survival, or PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds killing the bloody path in the Asian Clash and leaving the golden crown and scepter in China.
His impressive achievements all demonstrate his core status.
Nowadays, the project department all follows Gu Sheng's leadership.
But obviously, everyone really has some objections to the TTF project.
However, due to the presence of the big boss Shen Miaomiao, and fear of having a negative impact on the director after speaking out, they were a little hesitant.
Everyone turned their questioning eyes to Gu Sheng, and the meaning was obvious: Can you tell me? How about we talk to the project department privately?
Seeing everyone looking at him, Gu Sheng was shocked!
Oh shit?
Why did I suddenly have a yellow robe on my body?
I thought in my heart that this means that little Nezha is happy to be a hands-off shopkeeper and doesn't care about these things at all.
Otherwise, just this glance would be enough to drink a pot of wine.
He waved his hands helplessly: "Talk about it... Say whatever you want... We are just reporting to Mr. Shen today..."
Oh - yes, yes -
Everyone then woke up from a dream, like sunflowers, and turned their heads towards Shen Miaomiao.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Yun spoke first:
"Mr. Shen, I believe you have already seen this project."
Jiang Yun's first words choked Shen Miaomiao.
After recalling the dozens of pages of the plan, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but shudder and gave an ambiguous and awkward smile to Jiang Yun.
I didn’t watch it. I felt like my hair would fall out after watching it.
Besides, I have already discussed this project with Lao Gu a long time ago.
The content of the game is not important, I just know that it will lose money.
"Uh...hmm."
Shen Miaomiao reluctantly twitched her lips as a response and signaled Jiang Yun to continue.
"Honestly, I didn't expect our script this time to be so complicated,"
Jiang Yun nodded and continued:
"Of course, there is no doubt that a script of this magnitude will definitely be of great benefit to the shaping of our game story,"
"After all, due to cost, our size is here,"
"If you want to win by surprise, you have to tell a good story in a limited time,"
"but……"
Speaking of which.
Jiang Yun paused.
After weighing it in his mind, he glanced at Gu Sheng again, and finally said:
"But the theme of mecha... to be honest, I'm not particularly optimistic about it."
Yo?!
Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao raised her eyebrows slightly.
There is an unexpected surprise?
Although she had talked with Gu Sheng about the escort project before, she knew that the project was very difficult and it would be difficult to get back the money.
However, they did not understand the specific game content of the project in detail, nor did they carefully read the plan that seemed to make people's heads buzz.
This time, Jiang Yun suddenly raised objections to the content of the game, which made Shen Miaomiao suddenly feel dazzled.
Interested: "Director Jiang, please elaborate."
Jiang Yun eloquently said——
He was not timid before fighting, nor was he making alarmist remarks to disrupt the morale of the troops.
Because nowadays, in terms of the entire game market, the game theme of mecha, whether at home or abroad, is considered the least popular among the unpopular.
Moreover, this unpopular game is different from previous horror games.
Players don't like horror games. Ultimately, they hate their homogeneous jumpscare routines, so ghost phobia has a chance to make a comeback.
But players don’t buy mecha games because this game type is fundamentally bad and no one can do it well!
Although in theory, the somatosensory activation of the mecha sounds exciting.
But in fact, after manufacturers actually incorporated mechas into games, they discovered that the actual game experience was nothing like that.
Because once you make a mecha, its destructive power must be very powerful.
Otherwise, why would I use a mecha?
Therefore, in the early mecha games, mechas were basically made into auxiliary props.
He is omnipotent in heaven and earth. When he comes on stage, there is a bloody storm. He is very invincible.
But soon, a problem arose - because the mecha was too powerful, it would always be in a crushing situation when facing the enemy.
Small ordinary people have no ability to fight back in front of mechas and can only be slaughtered.
The excitement brought by the mecha will be like a stimulant. After taking effect for a short time, it will quickly fall back, and the player's interest will quickly lose.
If this continues, players will fall into invincible loneliness.
After all, crushing ants can only maintain a moment of freshness, but cannot bring a lasting sense of accomplishment.
Without challenges, there is no motivation, and turning on the mecha becomes a routine, which becomes more and more boring.
As a result, manufacturers who understood this shortcoming began to change their thinking.
Manufacturers began to create units that were evenly matched with mechas in stand-alone games, and even directly launched mecha battles in multiplayer battles.
But it didn't take long for the problem to arise again - everyone has the skills to practice, everyone has the ability to open it, and the mechas don't seem so special anymore.
Just like you are also a rapper, he is also a rapper, and everyone is a rapper, so skr is meaningless.
Even more, because mecha wars require frequent and continuous large-scale bombings for visual impact.
Over time, this kind of battle brings players the same experience as watching an hours-long collection of cuts directed by Michael Bay.
My head was buzzing, and the experience was not even as good as a traditional gun battle game.
"so,"
Jiang Yun spread his hands:
"Mecha games were just a flash in the pan as a concept. In terms of actual works and popularity, they have always been very embarrassing. Until now, they have almost disappeared."
And Jiang Yun's words seemed to kick off the show.
Before she finished speaking, Jiang Shan continued:
"Of course, what Brother Yun said about the lack of balance of mechas is only one aspect. In terms of game style and expressiveness, mecha games have already changed."
"In games, especially the art style of domestic games, everyone is very shy about the cold steel industrial texture, which is a frigid style,"
"In fact, after some manufacturers seized players' XP and turned mecha girls into Ex Machina, the Cold Steel industrial style declined even more,"
"Although I personally prefer this niche realistic mecha style... the market is indeed not very optimistic."
After Jiang Shan finished speaking, the cheerful and reticent Jiang Shan also talked about the difficulty of making mecha games from a technical perspective, and said that although she was looking forward to this kind of challenge, the market was not looking forward to it.
Everyone was talking to each other, analyzing the current decline of mecha games and the unfriendly market from different angles.
All in all, it’s just one sentence——
It is really not a wise decision to make a mecha game into a escort game.
Even saying something unpleasant.
In today's gaming industry, making mecha games means spending a lot of money to do small things, which is thankless.
Shen Miaomiao became happier and more excited the more she listened!
OK!
Very good!
Originally, the project was very difficult when facing three mountains. Lao Gu actually chose an embarrassing track.
If it weren't for the fact that her system was still there, Shen Miaomiao would have even suspected that Lao Gu had noticed that she had a system!
This is an operation!
It’s like a U-turn from the highway of making money and plunged into the road of losing money!
He nodded with satisfaction and looked around: "What about the others? Do you have any questions?"
This time, everyone did not hesitate and shook their heads in unison.
Yes.
There is no problem with this TTF project except that the subject matter is not suitable for today’s game market.
However, it is precisely this single problem that is the most fatal!
No matter how good a game is, if it doesn’t have a suitable soil for survival, it’s still useless.
unless--
"Then use us as the starting point to create a market!"
Shen Miaomiao waved her little hand and said in a vibrating voice!
ah?!
As soon as this statement came out!
There was an uproar in the conference room!
Everyone looked at Shen Miaomiao with astonished eyes, as if they couldn't believe their ears.
Seeing this, Shen Miaomiao smiled in her heart!
She finally understood.
Everyone’s speeches just now were all of the “although but” type!
Although Jiang Yun likes the plot structure of this game, he thinks there is no market for it.
Although Jiang Shan likes the art style of this game, she thinks there is no market for it.
Although Kailang liked the technical challenge of the game, he felt there was no market for it.
all in all!
People like this game, but as a game developer, it's useless for them to like it.
The market doesn't like it and doesn't support it.
Therefore, this is a self-cultivation project that satisfies one's own creative desires, and sales are bound to boom!
Shen Miaomiao almost stood up and saluted Gu Sheng!
Respect!DirectorGu!
King of ideas!
If you had this idea earlier, our company would have become bigger and stronger!
How could Shen Miaomiao miss such a good project?
"If there are no conditions, we will create conditions! If there is no market, we will create the market!"
Seeing everyone looking at her with shocked expressions, Shen Miaomiao knew that the chicken blood moment had arrived!
"The fighting spirit that never retreats, the enthusiasm that is always sincere, and the pioneering spirit that never gives up!"
"Have you forgotten our golden spirit?"
"Now,"
"I'm asking you!"
"Do you want to play this game?"
Upon hearing Shen Miaomiao's question, several people turned their heads and exchanged glances with each other.
Jiang Yun wanted to do it.
Because he was impressed by the grand and tortuous story of this game.
Jiang Shan wanted to do it.
Because the style of cold steel and heavy weapons depicted in the game fascinated her.
Being cheerful is what you want to do.
Because the emergence of full-sensory assistive technology allows him to realize his dream of flying a mecha!
As for Lu Bian and Dajiang, no need to ask, they will always stand on the same front as Gu Sheng.
Everyone has high expectations for the artistry of this game.
They just feel that this game cannot bring profit to the company.
Seeing what everyone was thinking, Shen Miaomiao waved her little hand with great pride:
“Just do it if you like it!”
"The world will always develop, and games will always progress,"
"If every game company is timid and stands still, how will this industry develop?"
"We are a cutting-edge game company, we have the most dazzling supernova designers, and we have the most creative project department!"
"If there are no conditions, we can create conditions!"
"If there is no market, we are the market!"
"Now!"
"You are the elite who are opening up new territories, and what you represent is no longer the golden wind."
"It's the enterprising spirit of the entire Chinese country, and even the entire world's game industry, in game innovation,"
"This is not one small step for us,"
"It's a big step for the world's gaming industry!"
