The strongest game producer

How much money, manpower, and time are needed to make a game, obviously the buddy who asked Xiao Gou to make a game has no idea.He shouldn't even be a game player, thinking that games are just like making a small video, which can be done in a week after spending an hour or two every day.

Of course, even if you spend one or two hours a day and get it done in a week, why should others do it for nothing?

Generally speaking, when facing a big company like Red Dog, civil servants are polite.Even if there are idiots who rely on connections to get in and are ignorant, they will be hurt by this group of smiling tigers and dare not move around.It's just that Xiao Gou is an honest person who hasn't turned his head around the corner, and he thinks it's easy to make a small holographic game, so he really agrees.

When Qiao Hong settled everything and the director of the anti-cult office personally called to apologize to Xiao Gou, saying that the temporary worker under him had been fired for being ignorant (?), Xiao Gou was still in a daze, unable to figure out what happened.

When he figured it out, his face turned red, and he always felt that he had caused a lot of trouble to others.Originally, he refused at the time for something, but now Qiao Hong still has to call to find the backstage. The civil servant who was just a little stupid but not fired was a "temporary worker".

Therefore, the lethality of Silly Baitian is greater than that of a black belly, because he is stupid and ignorant, which leads to a series of chain reactions. What was originally simple becomes complicated, and it is really deceitful.

Xiao Gou fell into depression, feeling that he was so useless that even Qiao Hong's comfort was useless.

Qiao Hong had no choice but to say: "Through a fall, you will learn your wisdom. Now you just offended a small character. Others will only think that he has no interest in oppressing you, and they won't think that you are doing bad things on purpose. In the future, if you are so stupid that you don't understand common sense." , There will really be problems. Do you think the government asks companies to do things, just say a word? There are rules and regulations for everything.”

Xiao Gou was trained to hang his head down by Qiao Hong.

"Your biggest problem now is that you still don't have the awareness that you are the president of a large company that is about to go public. You represent the red dog, not yourself. When others ask you to do things, they don't ask you Xiao Gou, but ask the red dog. Dog. This is not a matter of your convenience, Xiao Gou, but a matter of how our company does..." Qiao Hong cut the matter first and then played it out, and solved the matter cleanly, and when the result came out, he taught Xiao Gou the facts.

Xiao Gou was narrated by Qiao Hong for an entire hour and wrote a thousand-word self-criticism before Qiao Hong let him go.

Qiao Hong's teaching like this obviously made Xiao Gou feel better than comforting him.Xiao Gou also learned a lesson from it, and acted a lot more maturely, at least he kept in mind that he was the president, representing Red Dog instead of himself.People who don't know ask me for help, in fact, they are asking Red Dog for help.If he is in a bit of a dilemma, if he has any doubts, he can ask Hou Rui.

Originally, he wanted to ask Qiao Hong, but Qiao Hong asked him to ask Hou Rui more.Hou Rui has been the president of a large group for so many years. He has had great achievements and suffered great losses. He is more transparent than Qiao Hong.

Hou Rui is also happy to teach Xiao Gou, hoping that Xiao Gou can learn from his experience and avoid many detours.It's just that during the teaching process, Hou Rui complained to Qiao Hong many times in private, Xiao Gou was a bit naive in interpersonal communication, I really don't know how he got to this point, and was considered by many opponents to be cunning and cunning.What a terrible misunderstanding.

Qiao Hong can only say that Xiao Gou is probably too stupid sometimes, and inexplicably vigilant at key points, and can deceive people, so he seems as stupid as wise.This kind of person has existed since ancient times, and they are called "Fu Jiang" and "Silly General". At the end of the laugh, others thought they were wise and foolish.

What's more, Xiao Gou has a dog-like intuition, a strong ability to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and has a particularly strong ability to lead rhythms.This time he readily agreed, just because he really didn't think it was such a big deal.His mistake was simply that he forgot his identity as the president of Red Dog, but Xiao Gou accepted the commission.

Now that the matter has come to this point, even if Xiao Gou can play such a game, he cannot do it.At least he can't do it now, he has to show an attitude that he is really angry.Sometimes you have to be tough when you should be tough, and some people are just bullying and afraid of being tough.Xiao Gou was so stubborn that he turned regular workers into "temporary workers". For a long time, no one would come to Xiao Gou "stupidly".

However, Xiao Gou decided to make a game about anti-cult next year.Xiao Gou has played games about cults before, whether it is games with horror elements or shooting games, it is very common to use cults as the theme, but these are masterpieces and do not meet the definition of small games, so he was so troubled before .

If he wants to, at least fulfill his own dream of optimizing Crysis 5.The background setting of the fifth part of Far Cry is the famous cult incident in the history of the United States, but obviously Ubisoft did not intend to dig deeper at all.Although the gameplay of Crysis 5 may be the best ever, the plot is really regrettable.

Perhaps there are social reasons or other reasons for this. After all, there are too many "good people" abroad who don't know right from wrong, and even the Waco cult leader must be washed into the "Waco tragedy". It is said that the government did not act, the police forced people to death, and the cultists are too pitiful. The lives of those burned to death, especially children, must be remembered by the government. There are also non-cult sympathizers who want to retaliate against the government. The biggest tragedy in history (the title of "the biggest tragedy in history" was later won by "911"), and now many civil organizations still use the so-called "Wayne tragedy" to criticize the government.Ubisoft can only write these cultists as drug-addicted lunatics and dare not dig deeper, which may be helpless.

After Xiao Gou played Crysis 5, he had a deep understanding of foreign cult incidents and the results and social impact they caused. , I really hold the idea that "this is their inherent freedom" to the believers who "voluntarily join" and "voluntarily commit suicide", and if something happens, it will be the idea of ​​government persecution.In contrast, most people in China are quite normal, probably because the religious plot in their hearts is not deep.

In another world, Xiao Gou can vent his complaints as he likes.There can be cults, and there can be "good people", and the government and the police who are responsible for the blame are even more necessary. This will definitely be very fun.

As long as the background is in a foreign country, he can write whatever he wants.What's more, this stuff can't be written in Huaguo.There should be no people in Huaguo who would say "this is their freedom, they will only resist if you persecute them" after the cult members committed suicide, right?perhaps?perhaps?possible?Xiao Gou thought very uncertainly.

After Xiao Gou told Qiao Hong about his brain hole, Qiao Hong's lips moved and he didn't speak for a long time.In the end, he just moved Xiao Gou's head violently, and warned him that he must not start this game production plan for at least three months, and must take a good rest.

Xiao Gou raised his hand like a kindergarten kid and asked, "Then can I just slowly perfect my concept draft?"

Qiao Hong said helplessly: "If you can maintain a normal routine, it's fine."

Xiao Gou cheered, and he began to calculate the game he will do next year.Let’s post a cult game; when it comes to cults, I think of Cthulhu, the current holographic technology may make players popular; when it comes to Cthulhu, I think of Warcraft, when the server can be upgraded again, he wants to make an online game My heart is already hungry and thirsty...why is it all Western Fantasy?The local ones should also post it. Huaguo has been around for 5000 years, and there are many themes that can be used. For example, the stories of Liao Zhai are very good; after the first part of Jinghuayuan is over, he can intervene; Become a monster hunter, hunting these monsters may be more interesting than the monotonous variety of dragons...

Listening to Xiao Gou happily counting his fingers for next year's game like a child, Qiao Hong was so blocked, he couldn't help pinching Xiao Gou's soft cheeks to let him do what he could.How can these games be finished within a year?Are you dying?

So Xiao Gou fell into the dilemma of choice very sadly.Is it time to decide what to do by drawing lots?

In order to divert Xiao Gou's attention, Qiao Hong suggested that Xiao Gou first make a relatively simple mobile game to relieve boredom.That kind does not require much material and programming, and Xiao Gou can handle it by himself.

Qiao Hong originally thought of a simple game like cutting fruit, but Xiao Gou slapped his head and said, "Okay, okay, let me do a few more games to reduce stress!"

Qiao Hong felt something was wrong: "Decompression? What small game for decompression?"

Xiao Gou grinned and said, "It's about decompression. It's a fun game for people to play."

Qiao Hong said suspiciously: "I always think there will be a problem."

Xiao Gou said: "No, no, for example, something similar to escape from the secret room is quite interesting, isn't it?"

Qiao Hong half-believingly said: "It's just the decryption type of escape room? I remember that Bacheng has made many such games."

Xiao Gou said: "Yeah, that's it."

Qiao Hong is still dubious: "I think you like to be unconventional, and don't like to make games that already exist on the market. Are you really just making a simple decryption game?"

Xiao Gou tried his best to widen his eyes, almond eyes were watery, age reduction max: "Of course, trust me! I decided to make a... music game for magical girls!"

Qiao Hong was puzzled: "Isn't it decrypted? Why is there music again?"

Xiao Gou said: "The gameplay doesn't have to be done in a single line. Isn't it good to decrypt and add music?"

Qiao Hong recalled that decryption games with commercial elements on the market were indeed combined with other gameplays, such as card strategy, fighting, and shooting.In island countries, there are also traditional games that use music as a selling point, such as rhythm games such as taiko masters.Players have already given this kind of game a more vivid name, "playing songs" game.What Xiao Gou wants to do is a song playing game that combines decryption elements?

"Music can be outsourced, and art can be designed for you." Although Qiao Hong is busy, painting is one of his hobbies. It shouldn’t be difficult to outsource the art, and play song programming. The plot looks like you, have you already thought about it?”

Xiao Gou smiled and said: "I've already thought about the characters and the outline of the plot. Huang Shanshan has been busy with administrative work and hasn't started writing for a long time. Recently, she said her hands were itchy, so I took her to sit with her. In order to train newcomers, Laohou recently stopped meddling The program production of "Flowers in the Mirror". Before Lao Hou founded Xia Meng, the first independent game he made was a decryption game. He should be familiar with the decryption levels. It’s just a game, the lineup is luxurious enough.”

Qiao Hong half-jokingly said: "Just talking about the price, it is indeed luxurious enough."

Xiao Gou is gearing up: "Hey hey hey, it will definitely bring the players an experience of love and healing!"

Hearing Xiao Gou's laughter, Qiao Hong was a little uncertain again.Is Xiao Gou really going to make a light and fun little game of love and healing?

……

If in this world there is a time-traveling fellow in the same grade as Xiao Gou with the same hobbies, who would immediately shudder when they heard the magical girl game of "Love and Healing". ", also became the old age of "Soldier of Love".

Xiao Gou is indeed the "healing" magical girl game in one of the famous works of the warrior who wants to have sex.When he was watching the animation, he felt that the gorgeous witch scenes were too artistic—even though he was a rough man who didn't know much about art.The fighting scene is also full of dynamics. It is obviously not as hard as traditional fighting, but there is an alternative "burning".

The battle scenes of magical girls in colorful color blocks and abstract patterns are like dancing in a fairy tale scene.Xiao Gou, who happened to be obsessed with the X Dance Troupe and the X Orchestra at that time, thought to himself, if this becomes a song playing game, it will definitely be a visual feast.

However, it is clear that if this is done, the mobile game funding will explode.And if such a game is made like this, there will be less krypton gold elements, and the cost is so high, it will definitely lose money.So even if the magic girl round face becomes a mobile game, it is not a song-playing mobile game as Xiao Gou thought.

But Xiao Gou is the president now, he has technology, money and willfulness.Now he doesn't need to consider any cost and income, just calculate the balance of his bank card, and he can play any game he likes.Big deal, he can still use "this is an independent game" as an excuse.They are all "independent games", so what income is needed, right?

What's more, with his current reputation, many people bought this game as a paid game, and it might be easy to pay back.If the game is popular, Red Dog will not do business again, and make it into an animation, which can make another wave of money.After thinking about it, it is impossible to lose money, and it is impossible to lose money in this life. Maybe selling merchandise and selling anime can make a lot of money.

After thinking about it, Xiao Gou felt that the future was bright and he could play casually, so he gathered Huang Shanshan, Hou Rui, and Qiao Hong to play a girly singing game together.Huang Shanshan just let it go, Hou Rui looked confused.He is a big man, what kind of magical girl game is full of girlish hearts?Did Xiao Gou eat too much to support himself?

However, under Xiao Gou's stalking, Hou Rui's hands were indeed a little itchy, and he almost couldn't help but go against his decision, and went back to "Flowers in the Mirror" to become a programmer, so he half pushed and half agreed.

Huang Shanshan's hands were itchy for a long time, when Xiao Gou mentioned it, she immediately raised her hands and agreed to join, no matter how busy she was at work, she would write shocking game plots without paying overtime.

Lao Hou looked confused: "Shocking the world? How can a young magical girl play games to shock the world?"

Huang Shanshan said as if she had come here: "When Mr. Xiao shows such a smile, one of the plot and gameplay is absolutely shocking. This time I prefer the plot to shock the world, because Mr. Xiao completes the character design and outline by himself."

Hou Rui thought about it.Could it be that whatever part Xiao Gou completes by himself will shock the world.But the plot...how can it shock the world?Could it be that these magical girls were actually male-to-female, or the good-for-nothing uncle male-to-female to save the world.

Fortunately, Xiao Gou couldn't hear Hou Rui's voice, otherwise he would definitely complain. Hou Rui's thinking is very dangerous, but he likes it. Let Hou Rui do the game of this plot.

It's so beautiful that the good-for-nothing uncle turns into a magical girl, he likes it.

After the personnel were confirmed, Xiao Gou called the currently most expensive team member of Red Dog to discuss this "possibly loss-making" magic girl playing song game.

Xiao Gou took out his own concept draft: "From the perspective of gameplay, this is a traditional song-playing game. Players hit the buttons on the page like playing a piano, and combine with the falling notes. The magical girls in the screen will fight and send out Skills and background images will also move accordingly. What attracts players during battles in this game is the music and the cool and artistic battle images.”

Xiao Gou described to Qiao Hong what kind of effect he wanted with words and his own graffiti.What a combination of abstraction and figurativeness, using colors to express the mood of the characters and the intensity of the battle, changing lines and color blocks twisted into monsters and explosions...

Hou Rui couldn't help complaining: "When you two were playing games before, that's what the puppy asked you for?"

Qiao Hong said blankly, "Yes."

Hou Rui said: "You haven't beaten him to death yet, as expected you already loved him truly at that time."

Qiao Hong said blankly, "Yes."

Huang Shanshan asked cautiously: "Mr. Qiao, do you understand?"

Qiao Hong said with a blank face: "Understood."

Huang Shanshan said with a look of admiration: "As expected of God Qiao!"

Qiao Hong's expressionless face finally collapsed, and he said helplessly: "If I hadn't learned abstract painting, I would not understand it."

Xiao Gou straightened his back with pride, and said: "Look! I still have a sense of art! My requirements completely fit the connotation of the abstract painting school!"

Qiao Hong said indifferently: "No, you just made a mistake. If you use this request to ask for art outsourcing, they will put you on the blog and let people scold you to death."

Xiao Gou didn't care and said, "I'm Party A's father. If they scold me, they will never take orders from Red Dog again. What's more, my fan base is so large. They must think that there is nothing wrong with my request, isn't it just an abstraction?" School of painting!"

Hou Rui was stunned to see Xiao Gou's self-righteous, bullying appearance, which he was not ashamed of but proud of.

He really felt that he had been wrong before, completely wrong.Just relying on Xiao Gou's words, he lost!He was still too kind.

Qiao Hong knocked on Xiao Gou's forehead, and said, "Don't say that, I don't want to spend Red Dog's public relations fees on someone's publicity."

Xiao Gou was immediately ready to stick out his tongue to show off maliciously, he was very familiar with Xiao Gou, Qiao Hong knew his next move as soon as Xiao Gou's expression changed, he picked up an unpeeled grape from the table and stuffed it into Xiao Gou's mouth.

Xiao Gou: "Bah, bah." Before getting married, Qiao Hong peeled grapes and fed them to him. After getting married, Qiao Hong stuffed grapes with skins into his mouth. Let him eat grape skins?

Men, before marriage and after marriage, they really look different. The majority of compatriots must keep their eyes open, although it may be useless to open their eyes. For example, I can only eat grapes with skins now, huh...

Even Qiao Hong's grapes failed to block Xiao Gou's words. He listened to Xiao Gou's "accusation" in the above meaning with a blank face, and looked at Huang Shanshan and Hou Rui. Xiao Gou's ass is gone.

This guy really doesn't care about the occasion at all, he doesn't want to lose face!

Xiao Gou: Hey, hey, before we got married, he was called a sweetheart, but after less than a year of marriage, he started to say that he was ashamed.Big Joe is really a bad man.

Huang Shanshan couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing, Hou Rui's stomach was churning and he was about to vomit.

He sighed again, Qiao Hong did not beat Xiao Gou to death, and even married Xiao Gou, this is not true love, what is true love?He hoped that Qiao Hong and Xiao Gou would have a good relationship for a hundred years, and if there was a next life, he also hoped that the two of them could continue to be together.

I beg Qiao Hong to take care of this scourge, and don't let him come out to be disgusting!

Hou Rui felt that he was getting old, and he was really not used to the young mind.Although perhaps this is not the normal state of young people, it's just that Xiao Gou has a particularly thick skin.

After teasing Qiao Hong, Xiao Gou was serious for a second, and turned the topic back to the serious matter very bluntly: "Next, let me talk about the world view."

"The world view of magical girls is very simple. The girls pray for their wishes, and the little cute things appear to fulfill the wishes of the girls. The girls become magical girls, defeat the witch and save the world. Most magical girl stories unfold like this. However, the realization Is wishing so easy? Is the price just fighting? Is death the saddest and cruelest ending for magical girls?" Xiao Gou asked a series of rhetorical questions, which made the three of them think deeply.

Xiao Gou continued: "Equivalent exchange, how powerful hope is, corresponds to how great despair. There is no free lunch in the world. Magical girls gain power while fulfilling their wishes. Realize her wishes and grant her How can the existence of power do free business?"

Qiao Hong understood in seconds: "So you are still planning to make an anti-cult mobile game?"

Xiao Gou: "..." It's not that I don't have one. How does this have anything to do with anti-cultism? !
