In the Internet age, who still makes traditional games?

In his previous life, Xu Meng had encountered a paper-doll shooting game.

However, that game's ending wasn't too good: after a brief period of popularity, it quickly cooled down.

The reasons were naturally multifaceted, but Xu Meng believed one important reason was—

—the mismatch between the target audience and the core gameplay.

Their promotional direction and overall art style were welcoming to otaku who enjoyed anime.

But the game's core gameplay highly emphasized competitiveness.

The end result was that otaku were lured in, only to be slaughtered by veteran shooting game players.

—Of course, there were otaku who were good at shooting games, but their overall proportion was quite low.

When the game's primary target audience discovered that their only fate after entering the game was to become target practice for the old-timers, giving away dozens of kills per match, the game's decline was inevitable.

Xu Meng, feeling his way across the stones, could naturally avoid this.

《Frost and Snow Project》 has a large number of PVE gameplay options, players have opportunities to interact with their favorite characters, so otakus don't have to worry about having nothing to do if they don't want to fight.

Moreover, PVP will also be a light competitive mode.

As long as players aren't beaten into a pulp by experts, and both sides can kill each other, allowing newbies to experience the fun, the entire mode can survive.

And "surviving" is Xu Meng's only requirement for this gameplay.

After leaving the level design department, he went to the programming and numerical planning departments to explain this new task to them.

Both groups were also very excited.

Especially Peng Linmu, who was simply passionate.

Although their task was the most complex—

—they needed to allow the character to switch back and forth between 3D modeling and 2D paper-doll, and after becoming a paper-doll, they had to be able to stick to the wall and move, and when jumping down from a high place, they had to be able to float down slowly like a kite and fly far away.

Each of these three tasks required a lot of brainpower and effort.

But Peng Linmu thumped his chest loudly, almost making a military pledge.

Obviously, compared to how to make the character's chest and buttocks look good when they shake, he preferred to study "real technology."

Even though the former is far more profitable than the latter.

At this point, Xu Meng also completed his day's exercise and strolled back to his office leisurely.

After returning, he browsed social networks to check the operational team's work results.

In the past half month, he was completely immersed in software development, and the task of maintaining the popularity of 《Frost and Snow Project》 naturally returned to the operational team.

The method of maintaining popularity is also very simple—release some materials every two or three days.

Sometimes it's a new original painting of a character, sometimes it's a few animated pictures, and from time to time, he answers a few questions that players are most concerned about.

Thanks to Moyu Games constantly recharging the water army, leading some uninformed water army to charge every day, 《Frost and Snow Project》 has maintained good popularity.

Although Song Zhicheng is a bit conservative in his actions, he can always complete the tasks assigned to him steadily.

After negotiating with Bilibili, he obtained broader review conditions that day, and after that, he never got stuck in the review when releasing some slightly erotic original paintings.

Of course, Bilibili didn't give many privileges either.

The video review standards are still the same as ordinary accounts.

But that's not a problem, just put water mist on sensitive areas when the time comes.

Refunds for underage users, cooperation with virtual anchors, and other commercial orders have also been completed in an orderly manner.

After half a month, Xu Meng slowly got the sense of security brought by this "controllability."

Song Zhicheng's evaluation in his heart has also changed from "mediocre" to "trustworthy."

The reason why Song Zhicheng can't fully display his talents now is because of the magical circle of ACG games.

When Dream Builder's next game is no longer an ACG game, pulling him over should allow him to show his talents.

After reading about his situation, Xu Meng searched for Moyu Games again.

"It shouldn't be..." Xu Meng muttered softly.

How can anyone who has already started spending money to snipe opponents not promote their own products for half a month?

What are they trying to do?

Too much money to spend?

"Boss, time for your medicine!"

"What medicine, it's supplements!" Xu Meng corrected.

The medicine he prescribed earlier had already been finished, and after seeing the doctor again, the doctor no longer prescribed medicine, only added supplements, and gave some clichéd golden rules such as "regulate your schedule and don't stay up late."

"Oh, oh, boss, time for your supplements!" The little assistant followed suit.

Seeing Xu Meng honestly drinking the medicine, the little assistant felt a lot more at ease.

After half a month, the boss was finally no longer looking haggard as if he was about to die suddenly.

Once he relaxed, his former lively and playful nature quickly recovered: "Boss, do you want to hear gossip?"

The latest and most complete novels are available at 69shu.com!

"Gossip? What gossip?"

"It is said that Ding Nian alone has broken through eight headhunting companies whose business covers the game industry!"

"?" The little assistant's sentence was a bit long, and Xu Meng didn't react for a moment.

After thinking for a few seconds, he understood what it meant: "Ah?"

"Today I received a call from a headhunting company," the little assistant said astonishingly.

"I thought they were here to poach me, but I didn't expect them to ask me for Ding Nian's contact information."

Xu Meng was stunned, are headhunting companies so reckless now?

Directly call the company's chief assistant to poach someone?

But the surprise the little assistant brought to him had just begun:

"I later mentioned it in a small group, and found that many people had received this kind of call."

"It seems that since the new original painting of Heyin was announced, headhunting companies have been constantly inquiring about Ding Nian, but because her interpersonal relationships are relatively simple, headhunting companies often inquire about our employees."

"Gradually, everyone knew."

"But Ding Nian has never shown any signs of leaving, she should have refused them all."

"As the number of times increased, everyone's focus changed, and they began to count which companies she had refused, and by the way, they made a bet on whether she could refuse more than 10 companies."

The little assistant felt that since Ding Nian was determined not to leave, this matter was automatically classified as "gossip fun."

But Xu Meng faintly felt that this matter might be related to the problem he was currently unable to figure out.

So many headhunting companies are concentrating on poaching Ding Nian, it's likely that Moyu Games spent a lot of money to poach her!

They are not satisfied with the content created by their own artists, so they want to poach Dream Builder's artists?

This is too shameless.

How annoying!

Why is this company full of underhanded tricks?

Can't they have a fair and square showdown?

I really want to use the same method to make the other side angry! But I don't really like the other side's artists...

Moyu's most profitable game currently is called 《Divine Bird》, which is a typical anime card game, and the biggest feature of the characters inside is that they all have various wings.

It's quite cute, but it didn't give Xu Meng the feeling of "too awesome, I must poach them over."

In the end, he could only make another note in his notebook:

[May 16th, poached by Moyu Games!]

If there is a chance in the future, I must retaliate fiercely!

After finishing the note, Xu Meng, who had already reached his exercise target and planned to slack off in the office until get off work, quickly stood up again and went to the art department to appease his generals.

For the current Dream Builder and 《Frost and Snow Project》, every artist who can produce high-quality original paintings is very important.

Talents like Ding Nian who also have leadership skills and can stimulate team potential are even more indispensable.

Although he knew a little late, it can't be blamed on him.

It's all the headhunting company's problem!

"Don't you just want Ding Nian's contact information?"

"I have it too!"

"Why don't you call me?"
