game development savior

Chapter 87 The Disappearing Company Dog
First he was besieged by two black thugs, and then he was chased by three members of the Iron Warriors at gunpoint.

It was obviously just an ordinary meal, but somehow he was teased, making it look like a Hollywood blockbuster.

Han Qi is on fire!

"Black Steel Studios, Howell, it's time to start a war, right?"

"I don't know, Polar Bear Headquarters, is it involved?"

Han Qi knew that if he was in the game circle, he would be targeted by polar bears sooner or later.

But if possible, Han Qi didn't want to have a direct confrontation with the polar bear—although Han Qi knew that it was impossible.

Han Qi knew that from the perspective of polar bears, or in other words, from the usual style of giant companies like Cyberstar.

Sooner or later, I will have a direct conflict with the polar bear.

But Han Qi also admitted that polar bears are indeed very strong.

Whether it is the strength in the game or the strength outside the game, they are very strong.

If a conflict is going to happen sooner or later, the sooner the better.

Han Qi is not sure now. Did the attack he encountered today mean by the Polar Bear Corporation?
Or is it the personal behavior of Howell at Blacksteel Studios?

You may need to entrust sources to investigate this matter for you.

After going back to wash up, Han Qi saw a news report on TV again - the content of the report was that three gunmen attacked a taxi in the street.

That is today's own business.

"According to witnesses at the scene, the identity of the attacker was suspected to be a member of the Iron War Gang, but the Iron War Gang denied the incident and vowed to retaliate against such behavior of impersonating the Iron War Gang."

"According to the investigation of PNPD agents, the attackers are all cyberpsychopaths."

"We are also here to warn the citizens again, be careful of cyber psychosis, and if you encounter it, please stay away as soon as possible and report to us."

After reading the news, Han Qi was also a little confused.

Not the Iron Warriors, but the Cyber ​​Crazy?

Why do I always feel that there is something hidden behind this incident?

Also thinking about the attack on Han Qi is Odin Studio.

Boss Quest of Odin Studio walked out of the headquarters of Polar Bear Company and entered a small conference room.

Several younger brothers who were waiting here rushed forward one after another.

"Boss, what's the matter? Do you want to take action against "Max Payne"?"

Quist shook his head: "This game is deeper than I thought."

"Originally, a designer who is a newcomer like Ghost can't be used by polar bears."

"The headquarters will definitely send us, or personally block it."

"But I just found out that this time, the headquarters does not plan to make a move."

"Behind "Max Payne" stands PNPD."

As soon as this remark came out, the surrounding Odin studio brothers were all surprised.

"How could it be PNPD? They also entered the game industry?"

"The son of a bitch, PNPD, can't do his own job well. Now he is here to grab business, is he trying to start a war?"

"The PNPD has been very close to the Peace Military Guard recently. It is due to the increase in military power, so it doesn't take us polar bears seriously?"

"He is just a security group, and dare to fight us polar bears?"

Quest signaled the surroundings to shut up, and said: "The headquarters and PNPD communicated with each other, and PNPD assured the headquarters."

"The game is primarily an advertisement."

"They will not officially enter the gaming industry. They just plan to use "Max Payne" to whitewash the PNPD."

"The company's headquarters also basically approve of PNPD's actions."

"A lonely game will not have a big impact on the company."

"This time, the company will not impose any restrictions on "Max Payne."

Hearing what Quest said about the Polar Bear Headquarters, he doesn't plan to do anything to "Max Payne", and he won't suppress the ghosts for now.

Others in Odin all showed disappointed expressions.

"Fucking ghost is lucky, this wave made him hug PNPD's thigh."

"But boss, you asked me to investigate before, and I also checked. Howell is doing it."

"It's just his behavior, which is very confusing."

"It's normal to find someone to do ghosts, but I don't know what's going on, and I've always been involved with cyber lunatics."

"There's still a lot of fanfare."

Quist chuckled: "Oh, that brat. The company headquarters has noticed his crap."

"This matter is too deep, and there is a struggle between PNPD and the company's headquarters behind it, so we can't participate in it."

"Let the company handle it."

When Quest and the younger brothers decided not to participate in this matter.

Howell also happened to see the news about cybermaniacs attacking safe taxis.

However, Howell did not find any problems.

After all, Howell had never contacted any cybermaniac.

What's more, Han Qi was sitting in that Ping An taxi.

Pulling on his suit, Howell went downstairs to have some fun.

But at the moment of going out, a strong man in black punched Howell in the face.

Another strong man in black put the sack in his hand directly on Howell's body.

One last look before being sacked and thrown into the car in Howell.

What he saw was that his bodyguard had already been lying on the ground.

The Wuling van quickly drove to the beach.

In an iron cage, Howell in a sack is still struggling.

But it doesn't make any sense anymore.

Either struggling or begging.

Neither received any response.

Howell sank to the bottom of the ocean, and has since become another vanished company dog.

Howell was not the first body to be found where he sank, nor would he be the last.

……

Howell's heart stopped beating at the same time.

In the black steel studio, Zhou Lun is enjoying the applause.

Two representatives from the company officially announced that Zhou Lun had become the head of Black Steel Studio.

As for Howell?
Now no one cares.

It's brutal.

But also reality.

In large companies with extremely competitive systems, things like this happen every day.

Zhou Lun has now become the head of a game studio, and he has also become the target of others.

Not every person in a superior position can stay in their position safely.

But at least, now Zhou Lun can enjoy the life of a master in a big company.

Han Qi didn't know what happened in Heigang Studio at first.

When I was swiping the game news stream, I came across this message by chance.

When Han Qi saw the news: the Black Steel studio under Polar Bear had a replacement, and the former head Howell was rumored to have died.

Han Qi was very surprised.

"This Howell of Black Steel, why is he still looking for someone to hate me on the front foot, but the post on the back foot has been sacked, and there are rumors that he has already hung up?"

"This... Am I out of debt?"

Originally, after being blocked by Howell's thugs first, and then chased and killed by several speeding gangsters in the street.

Thinking that all of this is Howell's manipulation of Han Qi, he intends to find trouble with Howell in an open and aboveboard manner.

It's just that Han Qi doesn't want to generate too much news that has nothing to do with the game because he is currently in the game development stage.

Therefore, Han Qi held back for the time being and planned to wait for the "Max Payne" game to be released before he could investigate Howell carefully and teach him a lesson if necessary.

But now, Howell's visual inspection has a high probability of getting a B.

Han Qi felt dazed as he drew his sword and looked around!

"Looking at this person's arrogant and domineering style, he should have offended many people. Could it be that other old brothers are doing justice for the sky?"

"Forget it, I'll continue with my game."

Regarding the preliminary work of "Max Payne", Han Qi didn't have much to do.

Given that PNPD has already contracted the game development costs, there is no need for Han Qi to worry about the channel.

In fact, all that Hanqi needs to do is the development of the game and the platform for the game in the promotion.

I was thinking about Han Qi’s announcement of the game, and I was thinking about whether to make a handsome, cool trailer with excellent graphics?

Because "Max Payne" itself is a drama performance game.

The plot of the game, which is like a blockbuster movie about cops and gangsters, is one of the game's major selling points.

It’s not too much to make a movie-level trailer for a movie-like game!
Unfortunately, the hero is short of breath.

I estimated the cost of producing shocking CG, and then considered that the development budget of "Max Payne" was only 5 million yuan.

Han Qi felt that it was better to forget it this time.

It is enough to use all the game funds to make the game itself.

Unnecessary spending was too much, which eventually led to the budget exceeding the standard, and it was Han Qi who lost money.

Moreover, exceeding the budget will show that Han Qi's budget control ability is insufficient and very incompetent.

Besides, although "Max Payne" is not small in size, it is not a 3A masterpiece against polar bears.

There is no shocking game preview CG, and it doesn't affect anything.

Better to have, no big deal to not have.

It took a short time to convince his own Han Qi.

But suddenly received a call from PNPD.

"We have noticed that in the game plan you provided, Mr. Han, the cutscenes of the game, etc., all use the method of comics with strong narrative and relatively cheap."

"We also recognize Mr. Han's comic style choice."

"However, outside of the game, we still plan to conduct a wave of publicity."

"The best way to promote is a shocking trailer."

"We contacted a friend of PNPD. His main business is to produce various types of game CG."

"If Mr. Han feels it is necessary, please go to the address in the email later to find him, and we will bear the cost by PNPD."

"As for the ghost game, you just need to provide guidance."

PNPD paid for someone to do the promotional CG, so it didn't have to pay for it itself, and it didn't take up game development funds.

This is a good thing!
It seems that in order to better promote the game, PNPD let "Max Payne" play the role of the planned advertisement.

Really caring.

Han Qi naturally agreed, saying that he would do his best to create an impressive CG.

"No problem, just leave it to me."

"Coincidentally, I was also thinking about this matter recently, and I happened to have some thoughts in my mind."

"Perhaps, it's worth a try."
