Game designer: I am making games, not charity

Three days later, at the goose factory, Zhang Xu just got off work after a meeting.

Although the number of reservations for "Western Cowboy" has exceeded the expectations of the boss of Dini Company.

But because the data of Platinum Gold's "Black Myth: Wukong" is really good, and it has almost exceeded 7 million today, which naturally makes the senior management not satisfied.

After all, the Xingyu Project is a game competition, and the data and results must be compared.

No matter how high their stats are, as long as they are lower than Platinum's stats, it's meaningless.

So because of this incident, the quarterly bonus promised by the top management may be gone.

After the meeting, Zhang Xu could hear colleagues scolding Platinum along the way.

It's not because they really hate Platinum Corporation, after all, most of them have played Platinum Corporation's games.

It's just because Platinum's game is so good that they lost the bonus, so they felt aggrieved.

Zhang Xu didn't care, he went back to the office area, packed his belongings, and hurried home.

Because today, Platinum Games' game "Black Myth: Wukong" is officially launched!
After returning home, Zhang Xu hurriedly ate something, then lay down in the VR experience cabin, waiting for the launch of "Black Myth: Wukong".

Open the diamond game platform, you can see that there are still 5 minutes left before the official launch of "Black Myth: Wukong".

A smile appeared on Zhang Xu's face, and his heart was full of anticipation.

In order to wait for this game to go online, he has been looking forward to it for a long time.

Five minutes passed quickly, and the game was officially launched. Zhang Xu had already opened the diamond game platform and clicked to buy directly.

A pop-up window pops up.

"Dear player, it has been detected that you are a respected diamond vip4 member. You only need to recharge 288 to upgrade to a diamond vip5 member. Diamond vip5 members can buy this game at half price and get multiple gift packages in the game."

As a professional game designer, Zhang Xu has also bought many games on the diamond game platform, and he has spent a lot of money in the games, so he can become a VIP4 member of the diamond game platform.

Now that he sees that if he recharges another 300 yuan, the membership level can be upgraded, and he can also buy games at half price, he will naturally not hesitate.

Recharge directly, upgrade the membership, and then buy the game.

Although Zhang Xu has known for a long time that the game "Black Myth: Wukong" only costs 199, but after upgrading to vip5 membership, he can have more benefits, and then he can buy the game at half price. Zhang Xu made money.

Soon, the game entered the download and installation process. While waiting for the download, Zhang Xu clicked on the game's official website and checked the comments of many netizens.

"After watching the CG video, I really get excited. This is the real domestic conscience game! Platinum game company yyds."

"I have played many foreign VR simulation games before, and I always feel the customs and customs of foreign countries and their culture in the game. At that time, I thought about why there is no one in our Great Xia that can really spread the Great Xia. What about the game of the country's own culture?
Finally, now "Black Myth: Wukong" is here! The cg picture is very conscientious, the game looks very fun, support! 199 is too cheap, I will buy 10 copies directly to support domestic games! "

"Hahaha, Platinum Corporation is really powerful. In the past, the word "domestic game" was a representative of garbage games. This is because most domestic game companies only know how to make money. Now there is this "Black Myth: Wukong" ", I can finally show off to my foreign friends, let them experience the cultural heritage of our Great Xia Kingdom!"

"I have seen the real machine demonstration in the promotional video. It is a proper 3A masterpiece. Such an excellent production must require a huge amount of funds. I have a friend who works in a game company. He makes a small game like that. Games cost millions, even tens of millions.

Preliminary calculations, the "Black Myth: Wukong" produced by Platinum will cost at least 3 to 5 million, plus they also spent a lot of money on publicity, I am afraid that the cost of this game will have to be 8, 9 199 million, but Platinum only sells it for 5? VIP[-] is only half price?This is clearly giving back to players, what is the difference between giving them to players? "

"Mr. Chen of Platinum Company is really a game philanthropist. When he used to make computer games, he always paid for free, but now he sells a large-scale vr game so cheaply, only 199? I'm really afraid that Platinum will be so charitable. Go ahead and bankrupt yourself."

"It's not easy for Daxia Guoneng to have such a conscientious game company. I don't need this little money, so I can buy 100 copies directly and support Platinum."

"Brother upstairs, you were still posting in the dog head bar yesterday, begging kind people to give you a reunion meal, why come here today to pretend to be aggressive?"

Looking at the players' comments, Zhang Xu felt secretly worried for a while.

Platinum Company is indeed too conscientious, but it has always been so conscientious, how can their company make a profit.

On the diamond game platform, there are many vip5 members like Zhang Xu himself, which means that most people only spent less than 100 yuan to buy this game.

If you go on like this, don't really bankrupt yourself.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xu couldn't help but click on the official website again, and bought another 10 copies of "Black Myth: Wukong" to support Platinum.

At this moment, a notification sounded, indicating that the game was downloaded. Zhang Xu turned off the forum and began to concentrate on playing the game.

The animation at the beginning is exactly the same as the promotional video, but I watched it on a flat video before, but now I feel it directly from the VR perspective, and the feeling is obviously stronger.

Zhang Xu quickly immersed himself in the game and experienced another kind of Journey to the West.

……

After Platinum's "Black Myth: Wukong" was launched, the Beautiful Country Game Management Bureau called Dini's senior management to hold a meeting.

But this time, President Ma also rushed over from the Great Xia Kingdom to attend the meeting.

The meeting room of the Pretty Country Game Management Bureau.

The new person in charge, Grant, sat at the top with a gloomy face. He touched the rim of the coffee cup in front of him, and said coldly: "The game of Daxia Platinum Company has been launched. Before the launch, their number of reservations exceeded 7. [-] million, this figure is already twice as much as ours!"

Ava, the vice president of Dini Company, shook her head and said, "Platinum's publicity methods are really powerful, and we tried our best."

Grant is a 40-year-old middle-aged man. Hearing Ava's words, he frowned unhappily and said, "Miss Ava means that the data is not good this time. Is it a publicity problem of our Game Administration?"

Ava looked normal and remained silent.

The atmosphere dropped to freezing point.

At this time, President Ma of the Goose Factory spoke and broke the deadlock: "The real competition has not yet begun. As far as I know, the Xingyu Project is not based on the number of reservations, but on the evaluation and profit of the game! Therefore, we You don’t necessarily lose.”

Hearing this, both Grant and Ava raised their heads and cast their gazes at the smiling President Ma.
