Game company goes bankrupt? I backhand cyberpunk!

September is the beginning of school season.

During this year's school season, Lin Yuan, at the request of his mother, Xu Minqing, bought a lot of electronic equipment as gifts for his younger brothers and sisters who were admitted to college.

Nowadays, the Lin Yuan family is no longer what it used to be. Wealth and wealth have distant relatives. Not to mention that when the old Lin family was not rich, the relationship between relatives was also very good, and there were no trivial things.

Especially Xu Minqing's natal family. My mother has been married to the old Lin family for decades, but the Xu family has always valued this married daughter. Lin Yuan's uncle often visits his sister before and after the Chinese New Year every year. When Lin Yuan was admitted to college, his uncle Xu Zhengjun also bought Lin Yuan a mobile phone.

Therefore, this time, Xu Zhengjun's son was admitted to college, and Lin Yuan also gave Tai a notebook worth 20,000 yuan as a gift for his little cousin to enter college.

This made Xu Feng so happy that he couldn't stop talking about it.

But talking about Xu Feng, Lin Yuan was also quite surprised.

He is obviously a young man and has cousins ​​like Lin Yuan and Lin Shushu, but Xu Feng has never said that he is Lin Yuan's cousin on social platforms or in school.

This really surprised Lin Yuanting. It was a good time for young people, but Xu Feng never thought of using Lin Yuan to gain attention. Instead, he studied honestly and played with what his cousin made in his spare time. game.

Well, he is a good cousin who doesn't cause trouble. Even if it is not for Xu Zhengjun's sake, Lin Yuan still has to give his little cousin this computer.

For the rest of the relatives' children, Lin Yuan also gave them laptops and mobile phones, which were all new models on the market. They were given here and there for less than 100,000 yuan each.

Xu Minqing was naturally a little distressed when he found out. Although he knew that his son and daughter-in-law were very profitable and were already big bosses, it was difficult for Xu Minqing to change his economic concepts in a short period of time. Fortunately, Lin After Shu Shu found out, he specially enlightened her.

One hundred thousand? That's a lot, but mom, don't feel bad. One hundred thousand is a lot of money to us, but it's not a big deal to my brother. He can earn millions in a day now.

When Lin Yuan knew that Xu Minqing was a little unhappy, he was dumbfounded and speechless.

It is my mother who allows me to give gifts and be a good brother and good relative. It is my mother who is not happy to feel sorry for myself after giving them away.

Forget it, everything mom said is right.

Lin Yuan then put the incident behind him.

Next, Lin Yuan and Feng Shuyun went on a rare trip.

Tianyou is managed by Li Lin and Fang Qingchan. The former has no work at hand and is very idle. He is not used to staying at home for a few days, so he still chooses to come to the company to work. What about the latter?

Hmm. In terms of management, Fang Qingchan is outstanding. Do you understand the value of Nanxing’s external image ambassador?

Therefore, Lin Yuan and Feng Shuyun had a leisurely time, talked about it together, and decisively chose to travel together. As the first stop, Lin Yuan and Feng Shuyun chose Iceland, the capital of the northernmost place in the world.

Feng Shuyun went there for fun, but Lin Yuan...ha, he actually went there with some investigation purpose.

Most of the games and AAA games that Nanxing will make in the future will involve Nordic culture, so there is no problem in going there in advance to have a look and see the market, just like going on a field trip.

But is it time to make a Chinese-style 3A?

Although there are no domestic 3A works in the game treasure house for Lin Yuan to buy, he has been making games for so long. Now he has given an order to Li Lin and the others. Li Lin will develop it seriously. It is not difficult to make a domestic 3A game, right?

Well. Thinking of this, Lin Yuan didn't feel any guilt when he left.

Yes, it’s not for fun, but for work!

As for Li Lin, he received a personnel notice saying that Feng Shuyun was looking for him. After taking the elevator upstairs and entering the office, he saw the messages on the table from Feng Shuyun and Lin Yuan.

Li Lin looked at the envelope in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Everyone

The boss and the second-in-command went on a trip and left a note asking me to take care of the company. What should I do and wait online? It was very urgent!

But obviously, no one will tell Li Lin what to do.

Because it is impossible for a normal company to do such a thing.

Damn it. If I had known, I should have taken action in advance. I should have traveled first!

In the end, Li Lin could only say angrily.

And when Lin Yuan took Feng Shuyun to Iceland, and Li Lin and Fang Qingchan looked at Nan Xing, time passed slowly.

Everyone has long been used to Nan Xing pretending to be dead. Therefore, on days when there is no news about Nan Xing, the players in the circle continue to carry out activities as usual. Anyway, Nan Xing's pretending to be dead will not affect Nan Xing's update of the game.

Didn’t you see Overwatch launching new characters and new maps soon?

But compared to other characters, well, Overwatch’s character push is actually a bit slow. It takes about three months for a new hero to be released?

In other words, two new characters will be released in one season, but this is within the range that players can accept.

And there are many new games waiting for players to play.

After the establishment of the Nationstar Game Association, many domestic game manufacturers seemed to have been stimulated. In the past, games were half-finished before being released for publicity, but now, game manufacturers are eager to release all newly established games. .

But the speed at which they develop games. To be honest, it is not a bad thing to announce the game in advance, but if the game is delayed after the announcement, then it is a bad thing.

The patience of players is limited. If the games made by various manufacturers really attract players and make them interested and start waiting, but the result is that the tickets are delayed one after another, then slowly the players will become interested in the games. Manufacturers were disgusted, even angry.

Bounces are undesirable.

Therefore, this behavior that suddenly appeared in the gaming circle really attracted the attention of many players.

Then, they made a summary. Although they were not insiders, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was forced by Nan Xing.

It was obviously forced by Nanxing. Nationstar, established by Tianyou and Nanxing, has now attracted all the market users. Everyone, players have a limited amount of money to buy games every month.

Anyone who can buy two or three games in a month can be said to be an experienced game user. Therefore, if you buy a game from the National Star Game Association this month, it will be impossible to buy other games, and next month , oh, I have money on hand again, but correspondingly, the game will be refreshed again during the discount season on Tianyou!

All the money the players have on hand has been given to National Star!

How could other manufacturers not be in a hurry?

And in the foggy city——

Changshui Online Game Co., Ltd. rented a small place while living in someone else's company.

At this moment, Qiu Yu was looking at the half-completed new game with dark circles under his eyes.

Behind him was the boss of Hexing Interactive Entertainment Network Co., Ltd. in the group, one of the five people selected by Lin Ce.

Boss Qiu, your game is really good. Although it is a game for female users, even male players like me are attracted. Gong Chengshan, the boss of Hexing Interactive Entertainment, touched his chin and said with emotion.

Qiu Yu smiled, standing there completely empty. After listening to Gong Chengshan's words, he said feebly: Lin Ce enlightened me, since our company's art capabilities are good, then we should just burn everything and directly develop a A dress-up game for female users, it uses exquisite clothing and accessories and gorgeous painting styles to attract players.

But... what about the plot? Our plot is also very good. Gong Chengshan asked curiously.

The group they were in was called Lin Ce's learning team. It was a group of six people. Lin Yuan often dived without talking, while the other five people often communicated with each other and made progress together.

At the beginning, there was still a distance and gap between everyone, but as time went by, and under the guidance of Lin Ce, everyone chose different game classification directions, and gradually let go of their guard, and they will be in the game. Chat in the group about the classification and progress of your new game.

Gong Chengshan has a very good relationship with Qiu Yu. Therefore, he made a special trip from Star City to Wudu today just to see how Changshui's game is doing.

As for Gong Chengshan's arrival, Qiu Yu did not come to inspect secretly as a colleague, but as a friend.

The plot is even simpler. We specially hired an author who writes romance novels. As the screenwriter of our game, how should I tell you some of the ideas she proposed? Qiu Yu thought about it, and then continued after a while. Gong Chengshan said: Several female employees in our company like it very much, but the male employees in our company think they are quite idiots.

...Are you very Mary Sue? Gong Chengshan is not very old. He is almost forty this year, but he is engaged in the game industry, so he can naturally be considered a young man.

He was looking at Qiu Yu with a teasing expression at the moment.

And Qiu Yu nodded and smiled: It's Mary Sue, but don't tell me, female players just do this, just like us male players like to be Long Aotian who pretends to kill monsters and be a hero when we play games. When most female players play games, they also like the plot of being pursued and pampered by a perfect male character and becoming a princess.

But love is not the theme of our game, adventure is the theme of our game. Qiu Yu continued.

It's good. After all, your main focus is on dressing up and developing, and it's not just for female players. If it's only for female players, the love theme must be taken seriously, and it must be done well. Gong Chengshan said in a deep voice.

Changshui's game focuses on dressing up and cultivating, and is marketed to female users. However, this does not mean that male players will not come to play, and some male players will also come to play.

And don't think there's anything wrong with them. They come to play this game, most likely because they want to raise a daughter, or because they like nice-looking clothes.

You guys, some male players will find love in ntr butter, and fiercely raise their daughters in H games.

The main focus of this type of players is contrast. They are the ones who look for seriousness in serious games, and they are the ones who look for seriousness in serious games!

The game is half done, where's the name? Have you thought of a name? Gong Chengshan asked again.

Qiu Yu said, I thought about several names. The first one was called Liz's Fantasy Adventure, but Lin Ce rejected it. Lin Ce said that the name was not good. Then we thought about several more names all night long.

Finally, one name passed Lin Ce's eyes, and he was very satisfied. Qiu Yu said with some pride.

This is a game that Lin Ce personally certified as having fun!

It's okay for Qiu Yu to be proud.

And Gong Chengshan was also curious.

His company's new game has also been approved and started to be produced. However, in terms of theme type, Lin Ce said that it is possible, but Lin Ce is not too optimistic. He said that if this type of game is done well, there will definitely be no problem in making money, but it will be a hit. Nothing is possible.

But Gong Chengshan really never thought about making a hit game.

It would be great if you can sell it and earn rice!

Therefore, it is a game that makes Lin Ce feel good. He also personally helped review the game name. Qiu Yu’s new game has something!

Will you be jealous because of this?

That's not to say that we are all on the same boat now. The outside world uses the term National Star Five Bugs to describe them as National Star Five Company.

If Changshui gets up, it will be a slap in the face to the outside world, and he will give face to the other four of them. Of course, he will not be jealous because of it.

But there will still be some envy and stuff.

Nuan Nuan. Qiu Yu said.

Nuan Nuan?

Shining Nuannuan. Qiu Yu said.

Our new game is called Flash Nuannuan, and it will definitely be available during the National Day. Qiu Yu said.

Gong Chengshan was a little puzzled after hearing this. He didn't know what was so good about this name.

But there must be a reason for a name that makes Lin Ce feel good.

Lin Ce is a god in the circle! It’s impossible for game producers not to pay attention to Lin Ce’s ideas.

Therefore, although Gong Chengshan personally feels that this name is very ordinary and has nothing special about it, and is not even as good as Liz's Fantasy Adventure, but since Lin Ce can agree with it, it must be my Gong Chengshan's problem.

Let's go, take me to see your new game. Gong Chengshan shook his head and said.

Qiu Yu nodded.

At the same time, Northern Europe, within the polar circle.

A small, white, fat car parked slowly in the parking area.

In the car, there is a strong smell of hot pot at the moment. If you smell it carefully, you will smell that it is the bottom of the butter pot in Shancheng.

For foreigners, this taste is very strange, but for Chinese people, this taste is very familiar.

In front of the table were two yellow men, both wearing thick down jackets and couple's felt hats, eating hot pot opposite the one sitting at the table.

These two people are naturally Lin Yuan and Feng Shuyun.

Hey, you ask where this RV came from?

Ha. Now Feng Shuyun has friends from all over the world!

After making a phone call, the local game manufacturer came to help.

Don't underestimate this country with a population of only a few hundred thousand. In this country with a population of several hundred thousand, there are twenty or thirty game manufacturers, large and small.

Their admiration for 2077 and The Legend of Zelda has reached the level of ardent fans.

Because of this, on the day Xiaobai Pang’s RV arrived, hundreds of people came to meet Lin Yuan and Feng Shuyun, and it was directly turned into an offline fan meeting for their colleagues.

Now, Lin Yuan and Feng Shuyun have arrived at the Glacier Lake in Iceland. This place has beautiful auroras every night from October to March of the following year. It is a must-see place in Iceland.

Because it is mid-September, Feng Shuyun and Lin Yuan are here to try their luck.

But now, while eating hot pot in the RV, Lin Yuan scrolled through his mobile phone and felt the meaning of life.

No matter how much money you make in Los Angeles, no matter how much your account increases, it seems... it's not as good as going out with classmate Xiao Feng for a while?

Feng Shuyun is also very happy. Although he is also happy playing games at home, the happiness of playing games outside is different.

Oh, being a driver will be very tiring, but because when she drives, Lin Yuan will definitely sit in the passenger seat and accompany her honestly instead of lying on the bed to sleep, so Feng Shuyun said that she can accept it.

Not to mention eating hotpot in a foreign country, on the roadside, or in an RV.

Hoho hoh, can you be twice as happy!

It’s just that things are quite expensive. Fish and meat are very cheap, but beef and mutton are so expensive!

But Feng Shuyun may be short of everything right now, but he is not short of money, and therefore, he has enough money for meat products and so on!

In front of the pot, Lin Yuan suddenly said in surprise.

Hey, did you really take the name Nuannuan?

What? Feng Shuyun chewed beef balls from his hometown.

There are many Chinese people in this place, and there are many domestic supermarkets in the area.

This hand-made beef ball. Well, Feng Shuyun said that she is not an authentic Chaoshan person, so she can't be sure whether this hand-made beef ball is authentic or not, but the taste is really good, and the QQ elastic texture is super good!

The name of Changshui's game is very interesting. Lin Yuan explained.

? Feng Shuyun gave Lin Yuan a look.

Lin Yuan smiled and continued: Shining Nuannuan, a dress-up game. Wife, I think this game will become a hit among female gamers.

Dress up game? I don't play dress up games. Feng Shuyun sniffed and said.

.

Yes, you, Feng Xiaoniu, only play adventure, sandbox, wits, fighting, and competitive games!

However, most girls still like to develop, change clothes, and fall in love, okay?

But Lin Yuan didn't say this.

Otherwise, what should Feng Shuyun do if he gets anxious?

Another meaning of this statement is that you, Feng Shuyun, are not considered a normal female gamer?

Well, it's just Changshui's operation.

Gee, with a little bit of love and producer elements, is it completely the Miracle Nuannuan approach?

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan felt a little emotional.

Lin Yuan knows how profitable these two games are. The production costs are not large and the operating expenses are not high, but they are profitable.

Forget it, I was originally planning to support them.

Now that a game that can become a hit has been released, Lin Yuan feels quite accomplished.

but

Right now, traveling with Feng Shuyun is the most important thing.

Lin Yuan thought as he chewed a beef ball from Feng Shuyun's bowl.
