In her eyes, Lao Gu always looked calm, like the sunshine at noon or the breeze in early spring.
In gentleness, there is firm strength.
It seems that nothing can stump him in the game development industry.
No matter what kind of weird requests and opinions he has, he can easily get them.
With his astonishing inspiration and ideas, he weaves wonderful game worlds one after another and dedicates them to this world.
However.
He is such a supernova who was born to belong to the gaming industry.
At this moment, because Xuanfa is not as good as others, he is secretly feeling sad here.
He seemed to be in a state of despair that "nothing can be done by manpower, success or failure is determined by nature".
And the 'chief culprit' who caused all this is Shen Miaomiao!
It's her who has been blocking the promotion of the game!
It’s her who has always avoided publicity!
It was she who caused the once-satisfied Supernova to now be here because she was unable to do anything, and was filled with sorrows, so she smoked to relieve her sorrows!
I'm guilty, I-!
The more Shen Miaomiao thought about it, the more she felt guilty, the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't bear it, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had gone too far!
What am I doing?
I was literally killing a seedling that was supposed to grow into a towering tree!
I'm so damned!!!
Think of this!
Shen Miaomiao raised her heart, gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, forgetting about the system and the hundred times card!
Even if I don’t want the rebate and spend the billion, I won’t see you so depressed!
Say it!
Now, do we still have a chance to make up for our mistakes?
Next second!
Seeing that Gu Sheng didn't seem to have any thinking process, he flicked a cigarette ashes and said:
"Yes, I have already prepared it."
What the hell???
The sudden sincerity almost hit Shen Miaomiao's waist.
no……?
Wait, wait, wait!
Why the hell do I feel like something's wrong?
Shen Miaomiao scratched her head, feeling that her brain was a little overloaded.
Looking at Gu Sheng, I saw that at this moment, the grandson's face no longer looked a little melancholy.
Something is wrong! Nine out of ten times something is wrong!
"Well……?"
Shen Miaomiao's face changed, with a little uncertainty, she asked hesitantly:
"What do you mean...are you prepared?"
"Fearless sniping will affect our sales,"
Gu Sheng pointed at the game screen that was still going on on the screen, shrugged and said:
"Two months ago, as soon as the China Entertainment Exhibition ended, Fearless Sniper announced that it would postpone its tickets. Isn't this obvious? It must be for our second-generation FPS setting. You wouldn't have expected it. Bar?"
Say it.
Gu Sheng patted his forehead again, looking understanding:
"Oh, that's right. You shouldn't have thought of it. After all, you were just hanging out with Secretary Chu."
Huh? What the hell...
Shen Miaomiao frowned.
Is he scolding me for not doing my job properly? Is he attacking me yin and yang? Right?!
Shen Miaomiao felt that her blood pressure had risen a little.
Then!
She discovered that she was still young after all, and her blood pressure rose early.
Because next, in order to let Shen Miaomiao understand the whole story, Gu Sheng told her exactly what happened at the China Entertainment Electronics Exhibition that day——
As soon as she walked away, her friends and businessmen gathered around her...the shark anchor visited...her own MFGA slogan...the whole audience cheered and all the media rushed to interview her, etc.
"...Oh, by the way, speaking of this, I have always wanted to ask you a question,"
Gu Sheng put out the cigarette and looked at Shen Miaomiao with doubts:
"Why did you comfort me that day in the exhibition hall? Did you listen to what others said? I was too tired that day and really didn't have the energy to ask you..."
Shen Miaomiao:......
"... Just wait for me. It's time for me to take medicine."
After saying that, Shen Miaomiao stood up tremblingly, supported the wall and walked out of Gu Sheng's office.
Seeing this, Gu Sheng stood up with concern: "What's wrong with you...?"
Clang.
Shen Miaomiao staggered and almost fell to the ground.
He waved his hand back tremblingly: "...I am mentally retarded."
Get out of the office!
Looking at Shen Miaomiao again, her face turned green!
She felt her temples on both sides were pulsing, veins on her forehead popped out, and her blood pressure was soaring!
On the day of co-writing... Gu Sheng was not disappointed at all!
Not to mention becoming a salted fish who has lost his dream!
It was simply because he was tired that he collapsed on the ground like a dead dog and refused to get up!
That's why!
The three of them worked hard that day as if they hadn't had a full meal in eight hundred years!
It’s not “turning grief and anger into appetite” at all!
Gu Sheng, Gu Sheng——!
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but sigh with sadness and anger in her heart!
You fucking deserve to die, you——!!!
I spent ten minutes relaxing in my office!
Shen Miaomiao returned to Gu Sheng's office with a cup of steaming medicinal soup.
"What is this?" Gu Sheng glanced at the medicine in Shen Miaomiao's hand.
"Motherwort granules," Shen Miaomiao rolled her eyes and raised her glass to Gu Sheng: "Want a sip?"
"no……"
Gu Sheng waved his hands repeatedly:
"I don't have that ability."
Pfft——
Gu Sheng's cold humor finally made Shen Miaomiao unable to hold back her laughter.
Then he blew the potion and asked:
"So, you already knew that Fearless Sniper would be launched after us, and you were already mentally prepared?!"
"Ah, yes," Gu Sheng nodded as he should: "If I don't have any predictions like this, I've failed too much as a director."
"Then why did you make such a melancholy expression when you were watching the live broadcast just now?"
Shen Miaomiao was shocked and even suspected that Gu Sheng was playing her.
"Oh hey, you said this, haha,"
Gu Sheng laughed:
"I just think that they copied the second-generation FPS into this, which is an insult to our game creativity, and also disrespects the industrial level of this game. It's like-"
"The shit basin is rimmed with gold."
Shen Miaomiao:......
Well, I am really stupid, I actually believed in your evil son.
Drink all the motherwort in your hand!
A warm current flowed from top to bottom, penetrating through the chest and abdomen, finally making Shen Miaomiao feel a little more comfortable.
Then he asked: "So, what is your countermeasure?"
Seeing that Gu Sheng was back to his usual self-confidence, Shen Miaomiao knew that this time the investment was probably going to be unlucky again.
However, she still wanted to find out.
Gu Sheng pondered for a moment, and then said: "Let the players help us make the game."
"Ah? Players... play games?"
Shen Miaomiao did not understand:
"What's the meaning?"
"Literally," Gu Sheng said: "We hire players and let them contribute to the game "Land of Survival" and enrich the game content."
Shen Miaomiao seemed to understand: "It's like you hire an outsourcing team from a game factory?"
"That's right,"
Gu Sheng nodded:
"The only difference is that we need to pay to hire an outsourcing team, but to hire players..."
"We won't pay."
Me! Blanch!
What a dangerous statement!
Shen Miaomiao felt that her scalp was numb, she kicked the ground with her little feet, slid out with her chair, and kept a safe distance from Gu Sheng.
Appeared! Capitalists! Holy shit!
Shen Miaomiao felt that Gu Sheng deserved to die even more.
Then, he stood up and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window.
Seeing Shen Miaomiao's appearance, Gu Sheng couldn't help but wonder: "What are you doing?"
"I'm looking for a light pole,"
Shen Miaomiao turned around, her eyes full of working class righteousness:
"Are you a bastard? Are you asking players to work for you for free?"
"Ah, yes,"
Unexpectedly, Gu Sheng not only did not feel ashamed at all, but also admitted that geography should:
"In fact, originally, in the game Left 4 Survival, we could have introduced some more full-sensory technology, adding smell or improving tactile perception,"
"But, we didn't,"
"We saved this money and joined forces with the Yiyu Technology Department to develop a separate module in the game."
"Thanks to the support of the somatosensory cabin data encryption technology and the strong cooperation of the Yiyu Technology Department,"
"We can allow everyone to participate in the secondary creation of the game and write mods while ensuring that it is not open source,"
"Including the replacement of gun models, character models, item models, replacement of music effects, new player-made maps, and even the addition of game modes, etc.,"
"On the premise of ensuring the security of our exclusive feel adjustment data, we allow players to use their imagination as much as possible to customize everything they want in this game,"
"You can understand that it is customized, but usually, we call this module -"
"[Creative Workshop]"
Oh haha——
Although Gu Sheng's description sounds very touching, his imagination and creativity make the matter of "customization" sound very cool!
Even, if it is true as he said, the creative workshop model will one day take shape.
The entire game may become even more popular.
but!
Among those sugar-coated words, it was not difficult for Shen Miaomiao to see two words -
Whoring for free!
Letting players generate electricity for love... Shen Miaomiao really had no hope.
You know, making games is not playing games!
Writing code, establishing models, and fixing bugs.
Every item is boring!
How can any player work for you for free when they are full?
In this world, there has never been such a capitalist additional form of game.
Therefore, Shen Miaomiao simply could not imagine how there could be people in the world who were so free and willing to enrich resources for a game regardless of remuneration.
but!
Isn’t this good news for me?
The corners of Shen Miaomiao's mouth could not help but curl up again.
Originally, she thought that Lao Gu could come up with some shocking high-end operation to turn the tide. Without sufficient budget, she went against the will and defeated Xuanfa's fearless sniper attack.
The end comes!
It’s just a wishful thinking plan!
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao felt more relieved.
"Um--"
Shen Miaomiao nodded and affirmed Gu Sheng's narcissistic attitude:
"Listening to what you said, this model seems quite promising. When will it be officially launched?"
"Based on the current progress..."
Gu Sheng smacked his lips:
"Maybe tomorrow night."
In fact, the creative workshop module of Left 4 Dead has now passed the test and can theoretically be put online.
But before it goes online, as officials, Gu Sheng and the others must first stuff some mods into it as a demonstration guide.
For example, make some skins for weapons, change the explosion effects of homemade grenades, change the clothes of the four protagonists, etc.
Overall, the changes are not big and it mainly serves a display purpose.
As for what players will use this thing for...
Gu Sheng, who once modeled Miku, held a flaming unicorn, used a gold-plated Wakai Yaku to break through the zombies and kill Thomas the Tank Engine:
I don't know, it all depends on the mental state of the players.
…
"Sold 40,000 copies on the first day! Fearless Sniper is worthy of being the light of domestic production!"
"The real king is coming! Guangyao Games leads the single-day game sales rankings!"
"Fearless sniper crushing debut, the road to survival is full of decline"
"..."
Shenzhou, headquarters of Guangyao Game Studio.
Ding Kai looked at the media reports and couldn't help but feel happy!
As he said before, as long as Xuanfa's money is in place, no one can resist Xun Teng's offensive.
It doesn’t matter if you are a supernova or a genius designer.
In front of the real capital flow, you are just a stepping stone, a passing stone stepped on by Guangyao Games.
Sales of 40,000 copies on the first day!
Nearly 10,000 people were crushed in their quest for survival!
Such impressive sales are worthy of the size and investment of its large-scale game!
Seeing his immediate boss laughing with satisfaction, Fang Hongwei was also overjoyed. He poured water for Ding Kai to make tea and said:
"Next, we will further in-depth publicity, continue to encroach on the market share of Golden Wind, and at the same time increase our efforts in publicity, stabilize the market communication of our 1+2 shooting mode, gradually replace the so-called second-generation FPS definition, and transform it into
Renamed to - RFPS game (Reality First-person shooting game)."
This is a classic tactic from Xundo Games.
First, borrow the core of a game, appropriate it for your own use, and localize it.
After that, through layers of publicity and infiltration, while suppressing the original work, they gradually tampered with and distorted the gameplay names of the original game, and re-created a vocabulary to name the core gameplay that they copied.
In this way, day after day, year after year.
Gradually, the original game will be completely eroded by them and gradually forgotten by most players.
Then, they can justifiably bring this "Xundo self-developed original game type" with a new name to the table, complete the whitewashing, and replace it.
"good,"
After listening to Fang Hongwei's skillful arrangements, Ding Kai nodded with satisfaction:
"Just do this, and keep an eye on poaching people, so that it can be done and settled as soon as possible."
"Don't worry,"
As Fang Hongwei spoke, he picked up the teacup and drank with Ding Kai:
"The overall situation has been decided, other things will definitely fall into place, haha..."
Yes.
Although it is only the second day after the release of Dauntless Sniper, the single-week sales of the two games have not yet been released.
However, the two of them dared to open the champagne at halftime.
Because it has always been!
As long as the game is suppressed by them in this way, there will never be a time to raise its head again!
And this time, it’s no exception!
The crushing sales on the first day will definitely mean that the gap between the two parties will become wider and wider. The only thing waiting for the golden wind is the empty market!
This is the confidence of Guangyao Studio, and even more so the confidence of Xunteng Games as a whole!
Next…
The two drank the tea in the cup and raised their glasses to indicate.
Just wait and see the slow death on the road to survival...
