Game company goes bankrupt? I backhand cyberpunk!

Everyone, although after Lin Yuan became a game producer, he would always unconsciously complain about the shitty operation of the pig farm, looking down on the disgusting and ugly appearance of the pig farm.

For example, Shunhuonuan, Hogwarts, and Tianxia 3. Leihuo, a well-known game studio in the pig farm, has long had a bad reputation in the industry. This studio seems to be suffering from some serious illness. From time to time, A wave of players will get sick and sick. To be honest, this is the first time Lin Yuan has seen a game operation official blacklisting players to the upper limit.

That's it. Lei Huo still has paranoia about being victimized. He always says that there are trolls deliberately trying to hack them. Damn it, in a big event, the operation of Sosou is not even willing to give a virtual skin, and it still expects players to help. He speaks?

They even banned anchors who liked their games just because the anchors complained about the game's vertical synchronization and thought the design was poor, and were officially banned for half a year.

? ? ?

Leihuo Studio, are you really human?

It’s also called Thunder Fire. Can you see how the Thunder Fire Sword is made on the other side of the coast?

Do you understand that animation and games belong to the same family? Can you learn from others’ Thunder Fire Sword and engage in scientific research? Can you learn from the craftsmanship of Thunder Fire Sword Studio?

But the Tucao Pig Farm belongs to the Tucao Pig Farm. In fact, the Pig Farm still has something worth learning from Lin Yuan, and that place is - Fantasy Westward Journey.

How do you rate Fantasy Westward Journey?

This is a game that has been played by countless people from teenagers to middle-aged people. Fantasy Westward Journey is one of the few games that can operate for 20 years. The reason is that the numerical value is very good, and Fantasy Westward Journey will not suffer from inflation. Over the past ten years, the game has been constantly updated, and the data has always maintained a balance. At the same time, the Treasure Pavilion of Fantasy Westward Journey has pushed this game to the altar.

How do you rate the Treasure Pavilion in Fantasy Westward Journey?

It's probably like this - I bought an account for 50,000 yuan five years ago, and I can sell it for 50,000 yuan five years later.

In general, this is naturally a loss. Players have invested time and energy in cultivating accounts, but this conversion is also excessive, because in the same turn-based game, accounts bought five years ago cannot be sold five years later. There are many cases where the game has been shut down and the server has been shut down.

Note that most players do not buy accounts to make money, but to save time and gain happiness. Players enjoy happiness through this back-and-forth transaction. When they don’t want to play, they can still get their money back by selling their accounts. , which is a good thing for middle-aged people who don’t have much time but want to recall their youthful memories.

This is one of the reasons why Fantasy Westward Journey continues to operate.

Therefore, the trading center platform of Pokémon Go will also follow this route.

A 13-year-old left-behind child in Shu caught a Kirby and sold it for a high price of 40,000 to give back to his parents and help his sister. This is positive news. This is news that can attract more players to Pokémon GO, but At the same time, it is also news that makes players who come to play games become snobbish.

But in the end, Lin Yuan still asked people to spread the news, and also invited the media to interview the parties involved.

After this incident was reported, just as Lin Yuan had thought, there were more and more Pokémon Go players, with daily online players exceeding 40 million, which had vaguely caught up with the number of players issued by Goose Factory. King of Glory.

In response, Nanxing accelerated its pace again.

In the past few days, Nanxing held three meetings in total.

The first two times were about the Pokémon Go competition. With the current popularity of Pokémon Go, regional leagues will create a grand occasion, and Lin Yuan is preparing to launch the elf egg function in advance. This function will Let players have more channels to obtain high-level Pokémon. After much hesitation about Pokémon Eggs, Lin Yuan is not ready to let Pokémon Go Mall sell Pokémon Eggs. Pokémon Eggs will become non-payable items and can only be obtained through tasks and daily routines. , and travel maps are available.

Although Li Lin was a little confused about this, he still believed in Lin Yuan. After all, Lin Ce's choices had always been correct.

The reason why Lin Yuan does not sell elf eggs is to provide benefits to players while also preventing elf eggs from being available for purchase, which would increase the probability of rare elf being shipped, causing cracks between players and making the game unbalanced.

Elf eggs can hatch elves. They are rare, high-level, and basic. If they become purchasable props, it would be somewhat of a gamble, and this is something Lin Yuan does not want to see.

So after two meetings, two things were determined. First, the elf egg function was launched, adding some daily routines, and the gym became more important, because the gym can speed up the hatching of elf eggs. Second, the regional league was officially launched. There are two quarters: selection in the first half and competition in the second half.

Today's meeting is also related to Pokémon Go, but it is more about talking about the future development direction of Nanxing.

Nanxing currently has a lot of business on hand, and the types of games it touches are also amazing.

Nanxing needs to sort out its situation. What kind of game company is Nanxing now?

If domestic game manufacturers were divided into levels, what level would Nanxing be in?

In the conference room on the seventh floor of Nanxing.

Lin Yuan, Feng Shuyun, Li Lin, Xu Xiao, Luoyang, Teng Chunlong, Jiang He and other senior executives sat together.

There were no restrictions. We were all young people, so we all spoke freely and expressed our thoughts.

This is indeed what troubles me. What type of game company are we now? Generally speaking, game companies or game studios have their own types of expertise, but we seem to know everything. We touch everything.

In front of the table, Lin Yuan stood dumbfounded and said.

The types of games that Nanxing is currently involved in include farming, action-adventure, role-playing, turn-based strategy, meat pigeon cards, online game adventures, and children's fantasy. There is nothing that Nanxing has not touched before.

What kind of game company are we?

But overall it's a good thing and it means there's a lot of potential for our future.

Before Lin Yuan finished speaking, below, Luoyang and others pursed their lips.

Unlimited potential?

Ha, so far, there are only two or three games released by Nanxing that have not been through Lin Yuan's hands. Rather than saying that Nanxing has unlimited potential, it is better to say that Lin Yuan has unlimited potential!

At present, Lin Ce is already the number one player in the domestic game industry according to the rankings of privately made gamers in the circle. He is only one platform away from becoming a god.

Looking abroad, Lin Yuan is already well-known on the list.

The company's new office has also been built, and the Nanxing headquarters will move in. But at the same time, we will also assign some employees to establish Nanxing branches in Magic City and Pengcheng.

Xu Xiao is now in charge of Overwatch, so he will stay in Luo City. And everyone here, Teng Chunlong, Luoyang, are you interested in joining the branch and becoming the boss?

Ah? Me? Luoyang pointed at his face.

But Lin Ce, I am responsible for many projects right now.

It's okay. The project is very stable. You can bring your team there and treat it as your key staff. Lin Yuan said to Luoyang with a smile.

What about Brother Li? Xu Xiao asked curiously from the side.

Going to be a branch boss somewhere else sounds like a promotion and a salary increase, but staying in Los Angeles is the best thing. Who wants to travel around if he can stay and learn from Lin Ce?

So Xu Xiao was very happy.

Of course Li Lin will stay.

Luoyang is replaceable, Li Lin is indispensable!

Li Lin smiled on the sidelines. Of course he knew that he would not leave the headquarters. Currently, his team members had 150 people, which was beyond the scope of the studio. Lin Ce was still adding people to his team. If he was asked to bring in new people, then of course Li Lin knew that he would have another mission after Pokémon.

Moreover, it is likely to be a big task no less than that of 2077.

Li Lin felt excited at the thought of making another large-scale game, exploring the game market, and creating new ways to play.

He likes the feeling of overcoming difficulties, which gives him a sense of accomplishment.

I have already told my boss that next month, we will officially acquire a domestic game software company, and then launch a Pokémon co-branded handheld console. Later, we will also produce game controllers to serve the game.

Lin Ce, you never told us about this. Xu smiled and let out a sigh.

It is not strange for game companies to make peripherals, but if Nanxing wants to do it now, is it taking a step too far?

Moreover, it is not strange to say that a game company makes peripherals, but looking at China, this is really strange.

The domestic console market is not big. Most people are still accustomed to using PCs and using keyboards to play games. Only enthusiasts will prepare controllers and consoles.

But it’s okay to do it, because Nanxing has indeed made a lot of console games.

Animal Party is a typical example.

After hearing what Xu Xiao said, Lin Yuan smiled and said loudly: Aren't I telling you now?

But you don't need to be responsible for this content. You just need to cooperate when the time comes. You will be responsible for the characters in the game together, and you can put a family sticker on the device, and make a Nanxing family portrait.

Lin Ce, have you already thought of a new game?

Well, the new game has been thought of. The game and equipment will be produced at the same time, and we will try to release it as soon as possible. Lin Yuan nodded.

The new game to be made was not made for any reason, but because Lin Yuan suddenly wanted to make it.

There is no reason.

If there is really a reason, it is that you want to make it for Feng Shuyun to play with?

She goes out a lot recently because of Pokémon Go, which leaves Lin Yuan no time to be intimate, which is very annoying!

So, let’s make a game that allows Feng Shuyun to stay in his small office and home again.

After thinking about it, thinking about the types of games Feng Shuyun would like, Lin Yuan decisively chose that game.

To make that game, Nanxing needs a lot of things. First of all, Nanxing needs to officially log into the console market. In the past, when Nanxing logged into the console market, a third party took the initiative to contact it. But this time, Nanxing had to contact it himself.

Moreover, it is necessary to make a controller specially made for the game. Of course, the keyboard can also be used, but it will be very troublesome to play on PC. The controller made can link the console and PC.

And this requires professionals. Fortunately, if you have money on hand, spend money to buy a company in China, and then Nanxing will give you ideas and they will do it.

Burning money? What Nanxing is least afraid of now is burning money.

What's more, Southern Star does require console equipment. Animal Party, Street Fighter, and handheld consoles such as Stardew Valley can all be used.

Hmm. Does this count as starting a new business?

It’s not that we want to seize the market, but that new games require it. The controllers currently on the market are not suitable, so Nanxing needs to specially produce a controller that is suitable for new games.

Lin Ce, can you tell us more about the new game? We are curious!

I'm so curious, the game hasn't even been approved yet, and you already want to know in my head? Okay, don't ask, it's decided like this, Chunlong and Luoyang, prepare yourself, and take the team to the Demon City in half a month. Du and Pengcheng, Tianyou will help you when you get there. Lin Yuan rolled his eyes, complained a few words, then changed his tone and said seriously.

He put his hands on the table and looked at the bones that held Nan Xing up.

There was no deliberate momentum building, but wealth and fame gave Lin Yuan his aura, and an indescribable aura emerged from Lin Yuan's body.

His expression was obviously calm, but lowering his volume and speaking speed created the aura of a superior person.

I see.

Also, Li Lin's team has temporarily put down the operation of Pokémon GO and handed it over to other teams. The operation of Pokémon GO does not require many people, but Li Lin, please send a few people over there as assistants.

Okay Lince.

Xu Xiao, the matter of linking Overwatch with foreign countries will be handled by you personally. You don't need to ask me. If you really encounter difficult problems, come to me. For business issues, you can ask the market research department.

Well, I'll do a good job.

Luoyang, please pay attention to the carnival. This year's Street Fighter fighting competition, Stardew Valley winter activities, you decide what to do, think boldly, and think about the best way to do it from the perspective of a player.

I see.

Activities on full moon nights are accelerated. Halloween is very suitable for activities on full moon nights. The new DLC expansion pack should be given to players as a gift. We don't need to make that much money.

Everyone, the end of the year does not mean that we have less things to do. On the contrary, the closer to the end of the year and users go on vacation, the more things we have to do.

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, everyone below nodded.

Feng Shuyun also nodded beside him.

Lin Yuan turned his head and looked at the old mascot boss sitting next to him.

The corner of his mouth curled up: Boss, would you like to say a few words?

For a moment, everyone focused their attention on Feng Shuyun.

Feng Shuyun was born in the year of the rat, and her specialty was being in the nest. She was obedient to the outside world, but struck hard at home. This was Feng Shuyun.

Therefore, facing the focused gaze, Feng Shuyun raised his hand lightly and said, Come on everyone, I will give you red envelopes at the end of the year.

Well, double the year-end bonus? Feng Shuyun said tentatively.

Long live the boss!

The boss is the best in the world!

Boss, I will do it now. I can go to the Magic City today!

Don't worry, boss, I will definitely prepare the new DLC for Night of the Full Moon and let you have a good time playing it then!

A bunch of cheers below.

Lin Yuan said a lot to create the atmosphere that had just settled down, but Feng Shuyun's words directly broke the atmosphere.

After the meeting ended, everyone left, and Lin Yuan and Feng Shuyun also returned to the small office.

Baby, you should pay more attention to the hardware side. It doesn't matter if you give them more funds. There are no OEMs in China. What they do now is no different from starting from scratch. The money needed in the initial stage will definitely be a lot.

So Lin Yuan, why do we have to make our own controller?

Because the new game needs it.

Isn't it possible to cooperate with a third party? There are many large manufacturers like this abroad.

We can do it ourselves, so what can we ask others to do?

Well, forget it, it's your decision. Feng Shuyun thought for a while and stopped asking.

Anyway

Lin Yuan is always right.

Lin Yuan sat there, drank some black tea, and smiled.

new game.

Well, I definitely won’t be able to do it this year.

but,

The best game of the year is definitely 2077.

And next year’s best game. Oh, the famous girl has an owner, everyone~

Lin Yuan is so confident!

Because that game is God!
