Game company goes bankrupt? I backhand cyberpunk!

The first thing Qiu Yu did when he returned to Changshui was to hold an all-night meeting. This was very inhumane!

But fortunately, the employees in the company were either his old friends for many years, or friends he had known for four years in college. Therefore, everyone was willing to cooperate with Qiu Yu, and they followed Qiu Yu and held an all-night meeting.

And because they are all young people, and the boss and the employees are friends, and there are free and good late-night snacks on the small table at the meeting, so the meeting is somewhat frivolous. Yes, there is no meeting atmosphere at all.

At the meeting, Qiu Yu carefully talked about what he heard Lin Yuan say when he was in Magic City, and handed over the information he compiled to his employees.

How good is Lin Ce? If he wants to teach, he should teach other companies, teach us? an employee in Changshui asked curiously.

On the side, a female employee also nodded strangely, It's exactly what Lin Ce said, pie in the sky really does fall.

What are you talking about? Qiu Yu looked at her speechlessly.

Xiao Qiu, think about it for yourself, that's Lin Yuan! Lin Yuan from Nanxing! Before you went to Magic City, did you think that he would personally teach you how to play games? He also told you the game direction that Changshui is suitable for researching now. This is not pie in the sky, so what is pie in the sky? the female employee said righteously.

The people around him nodded in agreement.

Hey, what’s wrong with admitting it? Isn’t it that our Changshui Network is lucky?

It's okay to say it's a pie in the sky and a hit on the head.

Qiu Yu stood stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't refute.

Yes, this shit is pie in the sky.

Otherwise, how to explain that Nanxing would choose Changshui?

What is the southern star chart? Want them to grow the water network? Do you want to acquire Changshui Network?

Brother, let alone Lin Yuan, just say that if Luoyang Xu Xiao and the two industry giants wave, Qiu Yu will take Changshui Network and run directly to Nanxing. No, even if it is not Nanxing, it is Nanshan Games, a subsidiary of Nanxing. Game company, then Qiu Yu is also willing!

Qiu Yu had no idea whether Changshui Network could be sold as a package for 500,000 yuan, and was 500,000 yuan considered money for Nanxing now?

There have been discussions in the forum before about how rich Mr. Feng, the little mascot, is now?

Someone took out the form previously released by Nanxing officials and gave an example.

It is said that Feng Shuyun can earn over 10 million every day just by relying on Pokémon, and the current value of Pokémon's copyrighted IP has exceeded 1 billion.

The value of the copyright was guessed by the respondent, but in fact, Qiu Yu wanted to say that this person had underestimated the value. As an industry insider, Qiu Yu guessed that the current actual value of the Pokémon copyright was actually aiming for tens of billions. of.

After all, Pokémon is now a game played all over the world. A large number of users around the world watch and play Pokémon. There are Pokémon dolls and elf figurines in cities around the world, such as How could an IP with such traffic be worth only a billion?

Tens of billions is almost enough!

No, even higher!

If Lin Yuan were to speak, he would only say that Qiu Yu opened Changshui Network Company for a reason, because in the future, the IP value of Pokémon is heading towards the goal of one trillion.

In his previous life, he managed Pokémon. The highest value of Pokémon reached nearly 700 billion, making him the real number one IP in the world. But now with Lin Yuan, a humanoid bug in Nanxing, there is no reason for the Pokémon he manages to lose to him. Ren, isn't it?

It’s just a matter of time, there aren’t many promotions of the Pokémon series yet.

So Feng Shuyun is super rich! Richer than anyone imagined!

The copyright of Pokémon belongs entirely to Nanxing. No, it should be said that basically everything about Nanxing belongs to Feng Shuyun.

Even the genius Guice Lin Yuan belongs to Feng Shuyun, so Feng Shuyun's net worth changes every day.

Because of this, Nanxing wants to acquire Changshui?

Ha. Telling it out is really a way of putting money on your face.

Qiu Yu naturally didn't think that Nanxing would want to acquire Changshui Network, so... was he really stepping on shit?

Qiu Yu thought with emotion.

And then, he came over seriously and said loudly: Okay, let's continue the meeting. It doesn't matter whether it's a pie or not, and whether it's shit or not. What we have to do now is, with the help of Nan Xing and Tianyou, we must Make a game with great results! Otherwise, we will really be embarrassed to see others!

As for the new game, although Lin Ce helped us, told me the direction, and gave me inspiration, don't expect Nanxing to provide help. The new game can only be made by ourselves. Our strength at Changshui is art. , Ah Chun and Da Qiang’s art skills are indeed very good, and our previous experience of outsourcing has also helped us, because we can do a little bit of everything and know a little bit of every style.”

Qiu Yu said with his hands on his hips.

In front of him, there were people eating skewers and hot pot.

For late-night snacks in this foggy city, it's normal to have hot pot or something at night. Among the takeaways I ordered, there was a hot pot takeout set. It cost a lot of money, and it also came with two electric pots.

For this reason, Qiu Yu spoke very seriously, but the atmosphere

Damn it!

Qiu Yu was deeply moved.

We have a long history, and sure enough, what the hell, it’s a leather bag company!

Can we really live up to Nan Xing’s expectations? !

And the company bosses who listened to Lin Ce's lectures like Qiu Yu, after returning to the company, the first thing they did was the same as Qiu Yu, which was to hold a meeting.

They want to make changes.

We must follow in Nan Xing’s footsteps!

——————

Los Angeles, in an apartment building.

Feng Shuyun applied skin care lotion, yawned and walked out of the bathroom, looking at Lin Yuan who was sitting on the sofa sorting documents.

Looking at this scene, Feng Shuyun's sleepiness dissipated and he asked funnyly: Look, I told you to start with a few companies with good results. They are easier to teach and produce better results. What about you? You insist on not listening, and you insist on choosing these companies with poor performance and insufficient manpower.

Okay now, you really want to be a teacher, right?

This will give you a sense of accomplishment! Lin Yuan glanced at Feng Shuyun and waved to her.

Feng Shuyun walked up, took off his slippers with his little feet, and then sat on the sofa. He leaned towards Lin Yuan, his little head rested on Lin Yuan's chest, and his eyes were focused on the laptop on Lin Yuan's table.

The document Lin Yuan was compiling was planned to be sent to Qiu Yu and the five others. In the document, Lin Yuan integrated Lao Ren's philosophy of making games.

Games, what should be done to make them fun?

What kind of games do players like?

What should you think about when planning a game?

These are all convenient for five people to play games.

Is it precious? To be honest, it is not too precious, because many game planners know and understand these principles, but they are just unwilling to learn.

Obviously the schools they graduated from would teach them, but after they graduated, they were led astray by reality and capital, and slowly forgot their original intention of making games.

It's simple, but very precious, especially when it comes from Lin Yuan's mouth.

Damn, I suddenly feel so good!

Being a good teacher is indeed hidden in human genes!

Not to mention, being a teacher to a group of people, watching their adoring eyes, respectful expressions, and mouthfuls of Lin Ce, it feels really good.

No wonder Feng Xiaoniu likes to show off!

Lin Yuan thought funnyly.

He explained to Feng Shuyun: The reason for choosing them is to let the outside world see that after joining Nationstar, no matter how bad a game company is, it can change. Secondly, they actually also have good abilities. For example, this one is called As for Changshui, their company’s aesthetics are very good. There must be a reason why they outsourced games before. They have outsourced games of all sizes on the market and have been exposed to all styles, so the characters they draw are very popular.

This is a strong point. This ability can be used in love games. Regardless of whether it is male or female, good-looking characters and a good plot are enough to make players pay.

What about this?

This? The plot and art of this company's works are not good, but they do a good job in the sense of impact. They are very suitable for making meat pigeon monster farming games without plot. Lin Yuan said.

Does a meat pigeon game or something like that need a plot?

Of course it would be best if there is a plot, but it doesn't matter if there is no plot.

After all, you are playing a meaty pigeon brush game like Vampire, Potato Brothers, etc. How can such a game have a plot like Hammer?

Isn't it just to give the character a profession and simple settings, and then just go straight to it?

However, can you say that these types of games are not fun?

A game without plot or style is no good?

No, that's not the case.

This kind of game that focuses on eccentric gameplay is really poisonous.

It is difficult to stop playing once you play it, and it is normal to play it crazily for several days. However, at the same time, after the addiction of this type of game wears off, you will fall into a long sage time, and it will be difficult to pick it up again after you put it down.

It can only be said that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. As long as games or something can bring players temporary happiness, don’t expect to use games to teach players how to behave and do things. Although games are called the ninth art, don’t regard games as education. tool.

Of course, this does not mean that education cannot be provided. For example, some AAA masterpieces and some works that specialize in plot can indeed bring players insights and feedback.

But when you don’t have that ability, you should still use games as a tool to spread happiness.

What about time? It certainly can't be done in the short term, right?

It's okay, we just have to take a break. This year, Nanxing won't play games. Lin Yuan said with a smile.

If it comes to getting games, he can get a lot of them now.

But that’s not necessary. Li Lin’s team can’t do the Legend of Zelda. It’s time for them to relax. You must know that Li Lin’s team has not had a good rest during two consecutive annual holidays.

Last year 2077, this year The Legend of Zelda

Li Lin, Nanxingdi Superman!

Therefore, for the rest of this year, let Li Lin and his team have a good rest.

As for Lin Yuan, after giving this material to the five company bosses, he can start the fishing plan openly.

Guoxing is a whole system. Most things do not need to be done by Nanxing, the people below can do it.

Otherwise, would the president do everything himself? Is this reasonable? This is unreasonable!

So.

The rest of the time will be left to Tianyou and those five companies.

————

Throughout the entire month of August, there seemed to be no turmoil in the industry.

Oh, it’s not right to say that there is no turmoil. In fact, there is turmoil. For example, more rare Pokémon have been released in Pokémon Go. At the same time, new game content has been added to Stardew Valley, and the update speed is very fast.

There are more and more players who have completed The Legend of Zelda, but there are still most players who have not completed the game and live freely in Hyrule.

But for users in the circle who are already familiar with Nanxing's style, the current turmoil in the circle is definitely not this kind of thing. Instead, it is a big event!

However, Nanxing's consistent lying-down style has made players in the industry know that Nanxing will really not make any big moves this year.

But what’s interesting is that at the end of August, Tianyou suddenly became active.

On the Tianyou platform, you can clearly see a new column.

That column is called Discount Season, which is a new channel launched by Tianyou. However, in the past, Tianyou’s discount games were all placed in the discount area. However, after understanding the discount season launched now, users found that this area It is specially prepared for the national star.

This naturally caused dissatisfaction among many manufacturers.

Tianyou is currently the largest game platform in China. The natural traffic of such a new channel is huge, but this channel can only host games from manufacturers that have joined the National Star Game Association!

But what can they do?

Accusing Tianyou?

Haha, accuse whatever you want!

My own platform, I can promote whatever games I want to promote!

During Tianyou’s discount season, the most popular game this season is naturally Animal Party.

Animal Party is linked with a stand-alone strategy game called Big Shopkeeper, and has become an accessory of Big Shopkeeper. The original price of the Big Shopkeeper game is 59, but now it only costs 52 yuan to buy Big Shopkeeper. Animal party.

For some players who did not buy Animal Party due to various reasons, such as not having a console, not having a controller, not having enough computer configuration, not having friends, etc., this is a marketing campaign to stimulate their desire to buy.

Big Shopkeeper also succeeded in becoming the number one game on the sales list during the discount season, driven by Animal Party.

The monthly sales volume exceeds 370,000 copies, which directly makes the eyes of peers look red.

Grass!

And time passed and it was September.

Tianyou’s platform has also updated the discount season area, and at the same time replaced the scorching summer background with a bleak, lonely but comfortable background in autumn. This season, more games have been selected.

Nanxing contributed Stardew Valley and Legend of Sword and Fairy, and some mid-tier manufacturers also submitted their relatively good works.

After Tianyou's internal review, the selected games are all very good games.

Can I say it’s all fun?

Not really.

Because players have different preferences, no game can really conquer all players, even if it is The Legend of Zelda.

However, you will definitely not suffer any loss if you buy it.

During the discount season in September, Nationstar can be said to have won in every aspect.

Nanxing made less money, but gained more recognition. The game manufacturers who received help from Nanxing were completely convinced by Nanxing. Before, they had doubts whether Nanxing would really do this, but Stardew Valley has shown them all. , which shows that Nanxing really wants to help them.

Regardless of what Nanxing will do to them in the future, at least for now, they can make money because of Nanxing and the company can survive.

And Nan Xing is not at a loss either. Although Stardew Valley has always been a best-selling title, the user base has been saturated. Players who like farming have basically gathered in the past two years, so the current discount is the same as other games. Sales can be regarded as increasing users and making a little profit at the same time.

Not much, but if you don’t lose money, you will make a lot of money! Not to mention getting a good reputation?

Tianyou also won. They used labor, platform, and traffic to obtain a share of game sales. Tianyou only charged 10% of profits for NationStar’s internal games, minus 5%, but despite this, it was still a big profit. Tianyou was very pleased with the huge profit.

Not to mention the manufacturers participating in the event, they are the happiest.

Especially the developer of Big Shopkeeper, Duomu Game Network Co., Ltd., Big Shopkeeper made them millions last season.

Is the boss fun?

It's fun!

Otherwise, it would not be the target of support in the first phase. Only through the joint selection of Tianyou and Nanxing can the big shopkeeper be promoted.

This game is full of strategic features, but the price is a bit expensive. The price of 59 puts many players away.

But Duomu Company is also very helpless, because if it doesn't sell 59, Duomu will simply lose money. The production of the big shop owner is very sophisticated, and it is Duomu's painstaking work.

Later, I wanted to sell it at a lower price, but players were unwilling to buy it.

If you didn’t buy the game the first time after watching it, then the second or third time, the idea of ​​buying the game will fade away.

This time, because of Nanxing, the big shopkeeper was unearthed. Players discovered that although this game was priced at 59, which was a bit expensive, it was indeed quite good, with excellent graphics, nice dubbing, and plenty of playability. You can also go online.

Naturally, some players no longer come for the Animal Party, but for the big shopkeeper himself.

This made the boss of Duomu move to tears with excitement.

Therefore, each manufacturer also wins.

But the premise for them to win is that their games do have something worth paying for, rather than being run by Nanxing and Tianyou Capital.

And in the end, it’s the players who win!

Of course the players also win!

You can buy two games for the price of one!

And there is at least one guaranteed work among them!

Especially Nan Xing’s works, if you haven’t bought them yet, you will definitely buy them this time!

For example, in this issue of Legend of Sword and Fairy, many people did not buy the game and only watched the video cloud play. But now it is sold in a discount bundle. At a discount price of 62, you can buy Legend of Sword and Fairy, plus a new subway game. A strategy game, you must buy it!

As a result, Tianyou’s traffic has reached an unprecedented level.

In the past, this grand occasion only happened when Nanxing released a masterpiece.

But now, it happens every day!

And it’s still rising!

This also frightened other game manufacturers who were watching.

Damn, is Nan Xing serious? !

Do we really need a support circle?

No, what is it trying to do?

It has already reached its maximum, so why should it help others?

This is not in line with the operation of capital!

For a while, some people began to curse Nanxing's operation, some regretted not joining Guoxing in the first place, and some were thinking about the reason why Nanxing did this.

and.

This is just the first shot fired by Guoxing!
