Yu Fei was sitting at his workstation. On the computer screen was information related to "Ghost General", and in his hand was a small notebook filled with ghost symbols.
His face was full of despair.
This is a scam!
No clue at all!
After the meeting on Monday, Yu Fei was rushed to the shelves by Mr. Pei to carry out the initial design work of "Ghost General 2".
This is Yu Fei’s first time participating in a creative sharing session for Tenda’s new games, and the scene is completely different from what he imagined!
As a fan of "Return to the Shore", Yu Fei has always been fascinated by Tenda Games. He was originally very curious about how these classic games were designed.
But after he actually came to Tenda Games, and even participated in the research and development work as the chief designer on behalf of the team, Yu Fei suddenly discovered that this seemed to be very different from what he expected!
What is the specific difference?
There may be differences in many places, but the most prominent point is the style of painting!
I always feel that the way I opened it is wrong. The place I am in should not be the Tenda Game Department, but somewhere else.
You know, Tenda's game department can be said to be famous, and when it comes to it, it is like thunder.
In the game industry, Tenda Game Department can be said to be the elite among the elites in the domestic game industry. Successful games are soft-handed, and the game types are not the same.
Although this should be mainly attributed to Mr. Pei, a talented designer, to be able to implement Mr. Pei's ideas to this extent, these employees in the game department should not be underestimated. If you pull them alone, they can beat them.
Producers from other companies.
Within Tenda, everyone also knows that the people in the game department are direct descendants of President Pei, the best of the best. Excellent employees are given free rein, and once they are trained, they will be assigned to other industries.
This is the case for people like Huang Sibo, Lu Mingliang and others.
But it’s a department with so much aura, but after you actually come in, you find something is wrong?
Yu Fei felt that it was outrageous enough that he, as a layman with no experience in game development, was entrusted with an important task by President Pei.
Now Mr. Pei actually asked himself to be responsible for designing and developing a fighting game?
What do you think of this?
Of course, doubts were doubts. Yu Fei, who had repeatedly told himself that he must stand on the last shift, finally gave up his struggle and started working step by step.
His idea is that since the task has been handed down, he can do as much as he wants. It is normal not to complete it. Doing it more or less will be worthy of the salary that Mr. Pei gives him.
The free version of "Return to the Shore" has been negotiated with the official, and the official side is very supportive.
After all, "Return to the Shore" is a Chinese-style story background, and it is also a rare high-quality game in the category of action games. It is fully in line with the official platform's purpose of promoting traditional culture and promoting the development of the game industry.
But this news has not been officially announced yet, because the official platform said that a big event will be held!
A game of the size of "Return to the Shore" needs to be free, and it can't just be done by just changing the price. That would be too bad.
What's more, this time Tenda also proactively requested refunds for players who purchased recently. The refund amounts for players at different purchase times are different. This also needs to be considered in the long term, and related functions need to be improved to properly balance the accounts for each period.
Therefore, the official platform decided to prepare for a period of time and wait until next week to officially announce the news and open the official refund channel.
At the same time, he also promised that he would package the free "Return to the Shore" and "Eternal Fall into Reincarnation" together, and link them to the best recommendations for a month in a prominent position!
This kind of good thing naturally needs to be done in a big way, but a good company like Tenda cannot be allowed to contribute in obscurity.
Of course Yu Fei had no objection.
In his opinion, "Return to the Shore" is free. Although it reduces the official platform's share a little bit, it has a huge influence, whether it is to attract traffic to the platform, expand the player base, or promote traditional culture, it will bring a lot of benefits to the official platform.
The hidden income is extremely considerable, far greater than the small share.
Under such circumstances, isn’t it normal for the official to provide some good resources to promote it?
Therefore, this matter was considered to have come to an end. Yu Fei handed over the docking work to other people in the department, and began to rack his brains to think of the design plan for "Ghost General 2".
As for why not ask others...
He tried, but to no avail.
The rest of the game department had the same tone: there was nothing we could do to help!
This is not because of indifference, everyone's reasons are also very good.
First of all, this idea was proposed by Yu Fei. Different people have different ideas and cannot provide opinions.
Anyone who works in the creative industry knows that different people have different ideas, so giving random opinions can easily lead to "stitching weirdness". For example, when writing a novel, one author will make an outline and give it to another author to create, and the result will be
It's definitely beyond recognition.
Since Mr. Pei adopted Yu Fei's idea, others would definitely not be able to think about this problem for him.
Secondly, Mr. Pei named Yu Feilai to take charge of this matter, which shows that Mr. Pei must have seen a shining point in him that is directly related to the game.
This shining point can only be discovered by Yu Fei on his own. If others help, they may do bad things with good intentions, making Yu Fei unable to discover this shining point.
Finally, there is another very important reason, that is, other people don’t know much about fighting games!
Having a little knowledge of fighting games and being proficient in fighting games are two completely different concepts.
You can say you know a little bit if you know how to make a few combos, but compared to those truly proficient master players, the gap between this level and that level may be wider than the gap between gold players and king players.
After all, in MOBA games, you can sometimes hang out and wait for teammates to carry, but in fighting games, it really depends on your own skills. If you can't beat it, you just can't beat it.
Therefore, due to these complicated reasons, no one could provide suggestions. Yu Fei could only desperately write ghost symbols in a small book. Some ideas came into his mind, but they were quickly rejected by himself.
Just when he was at a loss what to do, he suddenly heard Min Jingchao's slightly surprised voice: "Huh? Lao Hu, are you back?"
Lao Hu?
Hu Xianbin?!
Yu Fei stood up immediately and looked towards the door.
It’s really Hu Xianbin!
After not seeing each other for two months, Hu Xianbin became a little darker, a little thinner, and in good spirits, but the look on his face that seemed like he was from another world still revealed the inhumane treatment he suffered during this period.
Yu Fei was simply overjoyed, and it was not an exaggeration to describe his current mood as being able to survive from a desperate situation.
After two full months, Hu Xianbin is finally back!
Do you know how I have spent these two months?
However, it would be nice to come back. When Lao Hu comes back now, he is no different from the savior.
Yu Fei knew that he finally no longer had to kill his brain cells in large areas for "Ghost General 2". He handed the stall to Hu Xianbin and briefly explained Mr. Pei's request, and he was relieved!
Thinking of this, he immediately stepped forward: "Brother Hu, it's just the right time for you to come back!"
"Come on, I'll briefly talk to you about the design direction of "Ghost General 2", we'll hand over the work, and then I'll go back to writing the novel!"
"Hey, to tell you the truth, Brother Hu, I can't stand it anymore as a substitute who rushes ducks to the shelves. If you come two days later, I will be tortured and collapse."
Yu Fei was overjoyed and beaming, as if he finally got a taxi after standing in the cold wind for more than an hour.
Hu Xianbin looked at him with a strange expression. He wanted to speak several times, but Yu Fei was too happy and kept talking to himself. Hu Xianbin just couldn't find a chance to interrupt.
Just when Fei was about to drag Hu Xianbin to the work station to hand over the work, Hu Xianbin finally caught the opportunity and sighed softly and said: "Well, calm down first and listen to my explanation."
"Actually, when I came back this time, the special training camp gave us a vacation, allowing us to rest and recuperate, deal with the remaining affairs of various departments, and prepare for our departure to Shennongjia."
"So, it's not possible to hand over work or anything like that. I'm afraid you'll have to take over for another month."
Yu Fei's expression froze instantly. Although he still had an overjoyed smile on his face, his eyes were full of doubts.
"Shennongjia?"
"Why are you going to Shennongjia?"
"Hasn't a month passed already?"
Hu Xianbin explained: "Last month we only conducted physical training at the special training base in Jingzhou, and it was not considered formal. After the physical training is completed, we have to go to Shennongjia to suffer for a month."
"The previous ones were just the preparation. This trip to Shennongjia is the main content of this event."
Yu Fei was stunned and lost the ability to speak for a while.
Hu Xianbin patted his shoulder with great sympathy: "Believe me, I am more sad than you..."
Yu Fei still refused to give up: "Do you have to go? Can't you be accommodating?"
Hu Xianbin smiled very reluctantly: "Do you think that if there is a little bit of accommodation, I won't try it?"
"It makes it seem like I want to go to Shennongjia!"
"How I envy you. You only need to think about the new game every day when you go to work. I really have to suffer!"
"How about we switch and you go to Shennongjia? I have absolutely no objection!"
Yu Fei's face darkened: "That's no need!"
"Hey, how about this, Brother Hu, since you still have a short vacation, how about you help me think about the prototype of this game?"
"My main worry is that I am not capable enough. If I mess up the game and ruin Tenda Games' golden brand, wouldn't I become a sinner?"
"I'm really not good at fighting games!"
Hu Xianbin chuckled: "What a coincidence, I'm not good at it either, so there's nothing I can do to help."
Yu Fei: "...What should we do?"
Good guy, no one in the entire project team is good at fighting games, what should we do?
Mr. Pei may be good at it, but Mr. Pei has long stopped doing these specific design tasks.
Now go learn and understand?
It's too late. How can this thing be learned in a day or two?
Hu Xianbin rubbed his chin, thought carefully for a moment and then said: "Actually, there was a big boss at Tenda Games who was good at fighting games before."
Yu Fei's eyes lit up: "Oh? Who is it?"
Tenda Games is indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. If Hu Xianbin hadn’t revealed this news, I would have never known about it.
Hu Xianbin was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Brother Bao."
