Game Empire: Starting from Driving Crazy Players

Chapter 148 The next game. "Escape"

There is constant discussion online.

In the office, Zhang Yi only had a brief chat with Li Heng, and then stopped paying attention to this matter.

For the next period of time, Huanshi doesn't need to think about anything else,

only need to.
hiring,

and,
Make a game!

Now that we talked about making games, Shen Heng, the head of the fantasy world's game production team, was naturally called in by Zhang Yi. As for Wu Xiaohua, he went out first.

Looking at Li Heng and Shen Heng who were sitting on the sofa in front.

Zhang Yi first said to Li Heng:

"There is no need to say more about recruiting new employees. Li Heng is solely responsible for you."

"The only thing you need to pay attention to is the PR department. Although I just asked Wu Xiaohua to be in charge of the recruitment of the PR department, the subsequent specific personnel will also need to pass your review before they can join the job."

In fact, it stands to reason,

As a boss, those who use it should not doubt it, and those who doubt it should not use it.

But for Wu Xiaohua, if you want Zhang Yi to be completely at ease with him from the very beginning, Zhang Yi really can't do it.

On the other hand, Wu Xiaohua's social skills, as well as his established network of relationships and people he knows, can indeed provide help to Huanshi at times.

Therefore,
This person can only be used with caution.

"no problem."

"You don't have to worry about recruiting people. I'm already very proficient in this area."

Li Heng patted his chest and promised.

"what about me?"

Shen Heng heard that Zhang Yi had finished assigning tasks to Li Heng, but he didn't know why he was called in. When Zhang Yi called him in, he only said that he had something important to order.

Now the new game "Overcooked Kitchen" of Fantasy World Studio has been produced.

Currently mainly doing,

It's just the maintenance work of "League of Glory".

There is a dedicated project group.

Although Shen Heng is now the general manager of all game project teams in the entire game studio, it is impossible for him to pay attention to the situation of "League of Glory" all the time. His main energy is still on new game projects.

After all, "League of Glory" is running very smoothly now, basically there will be no problems.

Zhang Yi looked at Shen Heng and said:

""Overcooked Kitchen" has now been produced, and it will be released today. The studio's new game production project team can take turns to rest for a day."

"Then, it's time to prepare for the production of the next game."

"But before that, let me talk about the general situation of the company and what I think in my heart."

Mentioning the new game, Shen Heng nodded.

In fact, many game studios are basically like this. After finishing a game, they take a short break, and then immediately invest in the production of the next game.

After all, according to the normal game production process, if a new game wants to come out, it first needs to brainstorm, a very good idea, and a clear direction. After the direction is determined, the story is designed around this idea.

Then comes the framework of the whole game, and finally the details.

In the middle,
It takes a very long time.

Although it is said that Zhang Yi directly provided the ideas and all the details of the games produced by Fantasy World before this, but they, the game designers, only need to move the bricks to build the house.

But Shen Heng doesn't think that Zhang Yi can maintain this state and ability forever.

That's an exaggeration,
It's outrageous!
How can a normal game designer have so many complete and excellent ideas in his mind?
In Shen Heng's view, this is impossible.

Therefore, when Zhang Yi said that he was about to start preparations for a new game, this was what he immediately thought of.

Shen Heng thought in his mind.

On the other side, Zhang Yi continued with his words.

"First of all, I want to complete the production of the third game before the end of this year, and have our Magic World Studio officially registered as a game company."

After hearing Zhang Yi's words, Li Heng and Shen Heng were stunned!
"what?!"

"Did I hear you right? Old Zhang, you just said that you want to produce a third game before the end of this year, and you need to register a company?"

Li Heng's eyes widened.

Although he knew for a long time that Zhang Yi wanted to make Huanshi a game company as soon as possible, but what he didn't expect was that,

Zhang Yi is actually in such a hurry?
before the end of the year?
You know, it will be November in a few days!

Even if the end of the year that Zhang Yi said refers to the lunar calendar, then there are only about three months left before the new year in February!

Is this a little too rushed?

There is no need at all!

Shen Heng beside him also frowned and said:

"If we just make the studio a registered company before the end of the year, if we work hard, there may be a chance to achieve it."

"It's just that the quality of the designed game may not be as high as before."

"Also, its volume is likely to be just like "Overcooked Kitchen", and it may not even be able to achieve it."

The starting point of Fantasy World is too high now!

If the quality of the new games released next is not as good as the current ones, and there is a serious decline, then it is very likely to have a strong impact on the players.

After all, the players demand the fantasy world at the level of "the last hope of domestic games".

In the word-of-mouth between the registered company and the players,

Shen Heng actually thinks word of mouth is more important.

registered company,

Besides, for Huanshi, there is actually not much help and benefit in a short period of time.

"Boss, I don't think we need to be so anxious."

"After all, our Fantasy World is taking the high-quality route, but to make an excellent game, brainstorming, plus the overall structure and filling in the details, it takes a long time, three months is definitely not enough!"

Shen Heng directly confessed his thoughts.

Hearing these words, Zhang Yi smiled directly, and then said:
"And what if you subtract the time for thinking and structuring?"

"In this case."

Shen Heng thought along Zhang Yi's train of thought, if it was like designing "League of Glory" or "Outlaws" before, three months would indeed be enough.
Um, wait!

Shen Heng suddenly realized something.

Subconsciously glanced at Zhang Yi, then turned to look at Li Heng next to him.

At this moment, Li Heng's eyes were also wide-eyed, his face full of disbelief.

"what?"

"You mean, the next game will also directly provide on-site creativity and game content like you did before?"

This.
Everyone in Shen Heng was stupid.

It's outrageous!
"Old Zhang, don't make such jokes!"

Li Heng is also dumbfounded. Although he is now the deputy chief designer of the fantasy studio, his main job is recruiting and reviewing people, as well as making decisions on some things.

But, no matter what, he used to be a game designer!
As a game designer,
He knows too well how difficult it is to conceive an excellent game.

sometimes,
I really can't figure it out even if I want to break my head.

But what about Zhang Yi?
Leo the Cat, Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy, League of Glory, Overcooked.
So many excellent works.

every step,
Whether it is ideas and subject matter, as well as specific content and detailed design,
Basically, it's all about perfection.

For other companies, it is already a very remarkable thing to be able to produce such an explosive work in a year.

But in just a few months, Zhang Yi,

Take out four.

There is almost no rest time in between.

Sometimes Li Heng doubts that Zhang Yi has traveled from the future, right?Or, is it some kind of alien reincarnated?Otherwise, how could it be so against the sky?
Good game ideas and content, as if you don’t need to think about it, just take them out one by one.

Outrageous!

That's it,

Now you actually tell me that you still have an idea for a game?

"What did I lie to you for?"

Zhang Yi frowned, and then said: "As the chief designer of Fantasy World Studio, I will definitely not cheat myself."

Shen Heng swallowed his saliva.

"Old boss."

"I have a question, I want to ask you, how did you manage to come up with these games so quickly and with such high quality?"

Calculating the time, Shen Heng has been a game designer for several years.

He had never seen such an outrageous person like Zhang Yi.

monster!

Really monster!

Hearing the other party's question, Zhang Yi pointed to his brain with a smile, and said, "That's because there are countless excellent works in my mind. When I want to develop a new game, I just need to pick one at random. Just come out."

"Believe me, you ghost, do you think I'm a three-year-old kid?"

Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Li Heng couldn't help but rolled his eyes before Shen Heng answered.

You also have countless games in your mind, and you can just pick one when you use it. Do you think your mind is a computer hard drive?
"I don't believe it either."

Shen Heng also shook his head, then he sighed and said:

"possible."

"This is the difference between a genius and an ordinary person."

As he spoke, he slightly raised his head and looked at the sky outside the window. His eyes were full of vicissitudes and melancholy. He looked like a middle-aged man full of stories. If possible, it would be more vivid with a cigarette.

unfortunately,

The studio is non-smoking.

"Some people have designed games for nearly ten years, but they haven't made a hit work, and they are always hitting the street."

"Some people design games for several months, but there is not a single low-profile work, and they take off immediately after their debut."

"Is this the difference between people?"

"It's really quite a disparity."

Li Heng rolled his eyes and made a retching expression: "If you want to talk about pretending to be deep and literary, it depends on my brother Shen Heng."

After complaining, he looked at Zhang Yi and said:

"Old Zhang, what's going on with the next game?"

It would be a lie to say that there is no expectation.

Although they are game designers, at the same time, Li Heng and the others are also players.

The games currently produced by Fantasy World are very fun.

There are also a lot of people playing in the studio.

In addition, as game designers who have produced these games, in addition to the fun of the games themselves, they can also gain support from the players and the satisfaction of seeing the games explode.

It is precisely because of these factors that everyone in Fantasy World is full of energy.

"Next game."

After hearing Li Heng's question, Zhang Yi lowered his head and frowned and thought about it for a while. To be honest, although he had countless good game works in his mind, it was precisely because there were too many good games that Zhang Yi For a while, I didn't know which one to choose.

Oh, the damn annoyance.

If at this time, let other game designers know about Zhang Yi's troubles.

Zhang Yi was inevitably beaten up.

Good guy!
Are you in Versailles?
Others are annoyed because they can't think of a good game, but you are annoyed because there are too many good games and you don't know which one to choose? ? ?

Excessive!

Zhang Yi continued to think.

"Now, Fantasy World, on the one hand, needs to urgently develop its own strength, and on the other hand, it also needs to give the support of so many people to the outside world and give a satisfactory answer. Therefore, the next game must at least reach the top level in China. level."

Previously "Cat Leo", "Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy", and the upcoming "Overcooked".

Although they are all popular game works, they are also very interesting.

But its game content,

It's not even at the top level in the country.

A top-level game requires the cooperation of graphics, music, plot...etc.

"League of Glory" is the closest to the top game level.

But because of its type specificity,
Also not up to par.

Seeing Zhang Yi's constant thinking, Li Heng began to wonder, didn't he say that he had already thought about it?Why do you still think about it for so long?
Shen Heng said:

"When it was released, it was almost the Chinese New Year."

Hearing this sentence, Zhang Yi suddenly had a flash of light in his mind, and patted his thigh: "Yes!"

Li Heng and Shen Heng looked over at the same time.

A perverted smile gradually appeared on Zhang Yi's face.

"Shen Heng is right. When the game is released, it will almost be the Chinese New Year. Such a festive day, so of course our new game will be too."

Li Heng guessed: "And be more festive?"

Zhang Yi stretched out his index finger and shook it.

"No."

"Our next game in Fantasy World is called "Escape"!"

"Escape. Escape?"

Good guy!
I'm straight guy!

Li Heng frowned: "It's not good to have such a name for the New Year's Eve?"

Just go home for a new year, why did you escape?

beside,

Shen Heng didn't pay attention to these issues, but asked directly: ""Escape"? What is the category of this game? It sounds like a puzzle-solving game."

Zhang Yi smiled.

"This is not a decryption game, but a serious horror game!"

heard,

Li Heng and Shen Heng,
Stayed at the same time.
