Pei Qian came to the Moyu Internet Cafe Handong University Store. After having breakfast and lunch, he ordered a cup of coffee, asked the waiter to bring his laptop, and continued to consider the work arrangements of various departments.
"Hey, the latest revenue data of the terminal is still rising steadily."
"This crappy website is really booming and getting better and better?"
"No, we can't let it go any longer. We must make good arrangements when we have time."
Pei Qian simply looked through the revenue data of several departments and found that although the terminal was not the one that made the most money, it was the one that made the most stable money and its profits were steadily increasing.
Judging from various data, more and more authors are joining the terminal, and the library of the entire website is constantly expanding.
For similar online writing websites, content always comes first. As long as the destination can maintain its appeal to authors and always provide competitive works, then its future development will definitely become smoother and smoother.
Pei Qian had too many things to worry about before, and felt that there was not much money to be made at the end, so there was no need to focus on it. But now he sees that it is impossible not to pay attention to it. If he continues like this, he is afraid that he will have the consequences of raising a tiger.
But...how can we curb the development of the end point?
This is a technical job and requires long-term planning.
Pei Qian couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
He was thinking when he suddenly saw a familiar figure pushing open the door of the Internet cafe.
"Teacher He?" Pei Qian was a little surprised.
The person who came was none other than He An.
He An was a little surprised to see Pei Qian. Maybe he didn't expect to meet him by chance, so he went straight to the empty seat opposite Pei Qian and sat down.
"Teacher He, why did you come to Jingzhou?" Pei Qian asked.
He An smiled: "I haven't had much to do recently, so I came to Jingzhou to take a walk and relax."
"By the way, Mr. Pei, how's your game... going?"
This "game" of course refers to "Mission and Choice". The birth of this game has a deep connection with He An.
Ever since He An proposed to Mr. Pei, he has always felt worried in his heart, fearing that if he really lost 500 million in blood, wouldn't he have tricked Mr. Pei?
Therefore, He An has been thinking about this matter. This time he came to Jingzhou to relax and saw Mr. Pei, so of course he wanted to ask more questions.
Pei Qian was silent for a moment: "Uh... I'm not sure either."
He An: "?"
You’re not sure, but is it okay?
This is a game project that cost 500 million yuan!
From the official establishment of the project to the start of production, this game has been developed for more than four months. If it were some small projects, it might be almost completed by now.
"Mission and Choice" is a large-scale production, and the development time will indeed be extended. However, in more than four months, with Tengda's development efficiency, it is still a semi-finished product, right?
In the end, Mr. Pei himself didn’t know much about it?
A project with an investment of 500 million was half completed, but the boss didn't even bother to ask?
Could it be any more ridiculous?
Or should I say...
Mr. Pei was joking before. He felt that this project must be a waste of money, so he stopped the project after working on it for a while? No more development?
He An looked at Pei Qian with suspicion: "Mr. Pei, do you think this project will definitely lose money, so you didn't develop it at all?"
Pei Qian immediately shook his head: "How is that possible!"
"The development must be normal development. According to the progress, it should be more than half done, right? Just in time, would you like Teacher He to come and take a look with me?"
He An was even more confused and couldn't understand what medicine was being sold in the gourd.
Let’s say that Mr. Pei doesn’t pay attention to this project. He has invested so much money and manpower. Let’s say that Mr. Pei attaches great importance to this project. It has been developed for four months and he doesn’t even ask about it?
Do you even have to guess at the development progress?
No matter how you think about it, it is very unreasonable!
He An nodded: "Okay, I'm also very curious about the current situation of this game."
After Pei Qian finished his coffee, he and He An strolled to the nearby Tenda Games headquarters.
This was the first time He An came to Tenda's office area. Like everyone else, he was surprised by this spacious and luxurious office area.
He An couldn't help but sigh: "I have been working in the game industry for decades, and this is the first time I have seen an office environment like this."
He noticed that not only was the office environment very good, but the employees were also very enthusiastic about their work. Everyone was concentrating on their work. Even when Mr. Pei arrived, no one stood up to say hello.
Only Hu Xianbin saw Mr. Pei’s arrival and stood up quickly: “Mr. Pei!”
Pei Qian smiled and said: "Nothing, I just came to see how the development of "Mission and Choice" is going."
"This is He An, Mr. He from Mengguo Games."
Hu Xianbin showed a surprised expression: "Mr. He! I have known you for a long time, and you are also a veteran in the gaming industry! Hello, hello!"
The two parties exchanged a few simple polite words, and Hu Xianbin began to introduce the development status of the "Mission and Choice" game.
At present, Tenda's game department is basically divided into two projects. One part is responsible for the development and daily operations of GOG. The person in charge is Min Jingchao. He has just returned from Los Angeles a few days ago and will soon pack up his bags and go back to Los Angeles to play;
Some people are responsible for the development of "Mission and Choice", with Hu Xianbin in charge.
"Mr. Pei, the current game completion level is about 60 to 70%. The basic gameplay and large framework of the game have been completed. Various game mechanisms are also almost completed. There is still the design of each level. Some details of the game need to be completed.
Adjust slowly..."
Pei Qian listened carefully and nodded frequently.
He An was also listening carefully, but the expression on his face was unpredictable and somewhat wonderful.
Because he found that Mr. Pei really didn't seem to have anything to do with this project before?
It can be heard that the things Hu Xianbin is reporting are relatively basic, including development progress, preliminary preparations, gameplay settings, etc. If Mr. Pei has already understood it before, then there is no need for Hu Xianbin to introduce it again.
There is no way or reason for the two of them to play double act and deceive themselves.
Could it be that...Mr. Pei really hasn’t taken care of the project since he established it?
So confident?
Of course, He An wouldn't think that Mr. Pei was careless, because he felt that no one would be careless about a project that invested 500 million yuan.
Then...the only explanation is that Mr. Pei trusts his subordinates very much!
Mr. Pei believes that after he gives a design plan, even if he no longer interferes, his subordinates will be able to understand the design ideas well, complete the work satisfactorily, and finally come up with a finished product that meets his expectations.
But this will lead to a new problem.
Mr. Pei is so confident because he put forward a very detailed and perfect design idea that solved a series of problems that existed before "Mission and Decision".
But the game "Mission and Choice" is so weird. What kind of design idea is needed to make it successful?
You must know that when this game was born, Pei Qian and He An discussed "the game plan that is currently the least likely to succeed."
Big investment, RTS game, science fiction theme, poor balance, simple operation...these are the "fatal flaws" mentioned by He An.
He An believes that as long as Mr. Pei does what he asks, this game will never be successful.
What's more, Mr. Pei also used the game name and story background that was previously called "National Game Shame", and even the slightest possibility of success was gone.
Now seeing Mr. Pei's confident look, He An is interested in this game, but has more doubts.
After a brief introduction, Hu Xianbin said: "Mr. Pei, Mr. He, do you two want to try out the DEMO of this game?"
Pei Qian nodded immediately: "Of course."
Hu Xianbin immediately called up the DEMO of "Mission and Choice" on his computer, and then said: "Mr. Pei, the completion of the current DEMO is okay, but the plot is missing a lot. Because the plot is all expressed in movies.
, but the movie is still being filmed, so currently only the pure combat part can be experienced.”
Pei Qian nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Then, he looked at He An: "You should try it out and give me your opinions."
He An didn't refuse too much, sat in front of the computer and started to experience the DEMO of "Mission and Decision".
As a real-time strategy game, "Mission and Choice" is of course also divided into levels.
Different chapters and levels have different plots, the maps are large or small, and the troop configurations of both sides also change. The overall difficulty ranges from easy to difficult.
Although the map of this level is all on the surface of the planet and there is no battle in space, the map size is not small and it is estimated that it should be a mid-term level.
"Mission and Choice" uses the standard third-person perspective of real-time strategy games, but what is different from games such as "Star Ocean" is that "Mission and Choice" has a higher degree of freedom in perspective, and it is much higher.
In general real-time strategy games, you can zoom in and out of the screen, and you can also lower the viewing angle, but these operations are strictly limited and cannot be zoomed in without limit.
Because players are very busy most of the time when playing this type of game and need to pay attention to all units on the battlefield. Whether operating or observing, the perspective must be raised to the highest level.
Moreover, the model accuracy of the game itself is not that high. If the viewing angle is too close, the game screen will look very rough.
Taking into account both aesthetics and practicality, it is a normal design to have a low degree of freedom in viewing angle adjustment.
However, "Mission and Choice" has a high degree of freedom of perspective and can zoom in very close to the screen, because the accuracy of both soldiers and other combat units in the game is higher than that of all RTS games currently on the market.
He An sighed silently in his heart, he had indeed burned enough money, and there was no choice in this scene.
The models, movements, and details of each unit are very well done, and the design is also very unique. The graphics can be said to be very top-notch.
After all, after burning so much money, there must be some effect.
The original concept paintings of the game should have been produced by Ruan Guangjian's Halo Studio. The modeling and action of the game are also handled by a top-notch outsourcing company in the industry. The art is absolutely impeccable.
