Making a post-apocalyptic game: Depressing all players

The Ninth Art, Just a Small Studio

Chen Mo’s mood did not change.

The boy had been drinking and talking without thinking before, but now the awkward atmosphere still made him break out in a cold sweat. Zhou Yue is now a popular actress, and she has to admit that she has been in love with an ordinary person for four years in college.

What should I do if it affects my career?

He lowered his head and said nothing. Fortunately, others changed the subject and broke the awkward atmosphere.

Zhou Yue, who is involved in the entertainment industry, can naturally handle it easily.

But from time to time, he quietly turns to Chen Mo – he seems to have not changed at all over the years, he is still so maverick, even aloof, unwilling to follow the crowd like the philistine.

Such boys are indeed very attractive in school.

But in society, it is unacceptable.

Just don’t know why.

Zhou Yue always felt that Chen Mo was a little strange, although he couldn’t tell what was different.

But it just seems a little different from before.

“As expected of Zhou Yue, the game she endorses has become very popular recently.”

“What’s it called?”

“Yes, The Walking Dead!”

Others also started to blow rainbow farts, what about the Oscar statuette, the Best Actress? It was just around the corner, but Chen Mo and Zhang Yan just looked at each other and smiled.

Good guy, when did our studio get a spokesperson?

Zhou Yue was also a little depressed by these nonsense rainbow farts. These people didn’t understand the walking dead clearly, so they just talked nonsense here?

But she still showed her professional smile.

“Dear students, I think you have misunderstood.”

“The game I am endorsing is “Zombie Killer” by Goose Factory. Although the game you are talking about has been very popular recently, after all, it is just a flash in the pan for a small studio. Even if they invite me , the agent would not agree.”

Hearing these explanations, others were a little embarrassed.

But he reacted immediately.

“Yes, yes, yes, look at how bad my memory is. I’ll punish myself with a drink.”

“We, Zhou Yue, must be cooperating with a company like Goose Factory in our current celebrity position. If we can easily endorse a small studio like that, It’s called lowering one’s worth.”

“You guys are going too far. The Ninth Art Studio is quite popular and has great potential.”

“Is there any Goose Factory Cow?”

“Not yet.”

“That’s not the case. Come on, what game company can compare with Goose Factory?”

Listening to the noisy discussion of these classmates, Zhang Yan finally coughed a few times and couldn’t help but wanted to talk. However, Chen Mo took out his phone and checked the time, and pulled him after a brief farewell. Just leave.

Half an hour later, we still had to pick up the plane.

Zhang Yan was a little unhappy when he reached the gate: “Why are you dragging me away?”

He originally wanted to “expose” the identity of the founder of Chen Mo’s Ninth Art Studio, and then see how fast those chameleons change their faces in Sichuan Opera, and have a cool writing style Slap in the face.

But Chen Mo chose to leave.

“What’s the point? It’s okay but not necessary.”

“And you didn’t lead this class reunion. If you hadn’t bothered me every now and then, you idiot, I wouldn’t have come.”

Zhang Yan sighed: “I didn’t want to meet you. Her? But she hasn’t come yet.”

“And I also wanted to catch up with my old classmates. At that time, everyone stayed up all night, skipped classes and got punished. I didn’t expect to be like this now. I used to be so high-spirited, but now I am so embarrassed.”

Chen Mo Shaked his head.

“You drank too much. I’ll call a special car to take you back.”

Zhang Yan got in the car: “I didn’t drink too much, I just missed the old days a little. Do you think people will change?”

Chen Mo shook his head and smiled.

Bang – close the car door.

After watching Zhang Yanyuan go, Chen Mo also started the car and headed straight to Zhuhai Airport.

……

at the same time.

The management of Goose Factory Game Department is also holding a meeting.

The heads of the six major studios were summoned. They looked seriously at the PPT of the boss of the game department. The announcement of the new game from Ninth Art Studio was displayed on the screen.

“Everyone, what do you think?”

“The failure of the last acquisition plan shows that this studio has basically drawn a clear line with us. Now that the new game is announced, how will the studio directors decide to respond?”

After hearing the question, major companies The chief planners gave suggestions one after another.

Wang Hai, head of Optoelectronics Studio, was the first to speak:

“After my research, judging from the current publicity, this game called “City Skylines” does not introduce new elements, but a traditional simulation management gameplay.”

“And it is still a buy-out single-player game, which is destined to have a limited lifespan.”

“Without multiplayer and large-scale server online modes, we cannot touch our base, and the profits from paid games will always be Limited…”

Wang Hai’s view is very optimistic, but it does make sense.

No matter how popular the Ninth Art is, it will always be a single-player game. Players’ enthusiasm for gaming will always be exhausted one day, and it cannot be compared with multiplayer online games.

Although several other studio heads have different opinions.

But he did not make his position clear.

Zhao Shunli, the chief planner and person-in-charge of Tiansheng Studio, suddenly stood up. Although both parties were under the Goose Factory, they were at odds with each other due to competition in cultivating gu.

What’s more, the opinions are completely contradictory now.

“You also had the same view on the last “The Walking Dead”.”

“To put it bluntly, isn’t it just interactive plot + zombie fighting + development?” ”

But what about now? That game’s somatosensory simulation, emotional feedback, and player substitution and immersion Did it teach everyone here a lesson?

“This City Skyline seems to be a traditional business simulation game. ”

But who knows what new concepts the ninth art will introduce? ” ”

My opinion is to fully control first-hand information and be ready to follow up on research and development at any time. With the technology, funds, and publicity of our goose factory, if we make appropriate reference, we can definitely occupy a part of the market.” ”

After Zhao Shunli said these words,

Wang Hai, the head of the Optoelectronics Studio, was very disdainful: “Imitate and follow the trend? Since a game of the same type has been released, I would like to ask your studio, Scourge Studio, how is the progress of that “Doomsday” game? “Can it reach the heights of the Ninth Art “The Walking Dead”? ”

“Can’t do it? ”

It’s better to stick to our basic plan of free and multiplayer games, let him do his buy-out single-player games, and we will continue to launch free games. “How many new games will we be able to make with the investment in developing 3a? ”

”

Zhao Shunli’s face changed and he immediately began to retort. Seeing that the two were arguing,

the boss of Goose Factory’s game department said calmly.

“The basics of free online games must be adhered to, but Zhao Shunli’s idea is right. The two must go hand in hand. “The Walking Dead” 》has sounded the alarm to us. ”

“How much publicity, human, material and financial resources were invested in the previous “After Tonight”, but the project died suddenly and there were even more negative comments about our company online. “

If this happens again this time. “I think the management of our studios needs to be changed. ”

”

As soon as these words came out, the conference room fell into silence.

These words seemed to be said very tactfully, but the meaning was very clear.

If you can’t make a good game again and are pressed to the ground by the Ninth Art Studio, then Six Some responsible persons in large studios are about to pack up and leave.
