The strongest game producer

Although Qiao Hong said that Xiao Gou was a crow's mouth, both of them knew that the possibility of this was actually very small.

The materials on Red Dog's computer are not allowed to be copied. Even if it is an outsourced picture material, after signing the agreement, the painter will not disclose the picture to others for his own future.The staff of Red Dog leaked the secrets, either by memory, or by taking pictures with mobile phones, and the latter is too likely to be discovered.

Therefore, at most, they "transfer" the plots they know and the concept of interactive movie games to other companies.

Big companies may use their ideas and even plots to make games.They don't even need to make holographic games, just make a slightly better mobile game or PC game, which can make the road after Red Dog difficult.

The two were silent for a long time, and Qiao Hong sighed: "But they may not succeed. Isn't our game progressing very fast? The only thing missing is the picture material and the plot, right? Apart from the program department, other departments are not particularly clear about these. I don't think they would be of much use if they leaked the news. Also, while it is possible to make a new game using the concept of an interactive movie game, it should not be possible to directly use our plot. It is illegal, and if we call the police... ..."

Xiao Gou's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh: "This is it!"

Qiao Hong was taken aback by Xiao Gou who yelled: "What?"

Xiao Gou excitedly said: "I thought of how to counter them! We can touch porcelain!"

Qiao Hong: "What... what? Pengci?"

Xiao Gou nodded vigorously: "That's right. As you said, it's useless for them to copy the pictures. If they leaked the plot, we can find the source if we call the police. Only the concept of interactive movie games is the most important. So They will definitely take advantage of the resources of large companies, coupled with the advantage that the development progress of mobile and computer games is faster than holographic games, and quickly occupy this type of game market. They don’t even need to occupy the market, as long as they release similar games first, If we change our plot again, our game will be greatly affected.”

"But what they didn't expect was that the development progress of our holographic game is not slow. Compared with the development speed, we are even faster than their mobile game development speed. Since we are not afraid of speed competition, why not make everything clear , Let everyone watch this competition? Since they want to cause heat and let players down on Red Dog. Why don't we use this heat in reverse and let everyone pay attention to us? When the game is released, maybe there will be many People on the sidelines buy downloads."

The more Xiao Gou said, the more excited he became: "They will definitely not do anything illegal now when the state is paying attention to us. Their hands and feet must be cleaned up. Even if we call the police, we won't be able to find out. But we don't need to find out. Whoever did it, we just treat all gamers as imaginary enemies. Call the police, and then issue an announcement to declare war. Since we have the strength, why not be arrogant?"

Qiao Hong was lost in thought.

Xiao Gou's way of coping is simply unimaginable.Other new companies have to go around big companies, fearing that their plans will be leaked and they will be chased and bitten by big companies.But Xiao Gou wants to put his ass up for others to bite, no matter whether others bite or not, he will howl loudly if someone bites his ass, he will beat him back.

From the perspective of normal thinking, this is hitting a stone with an egg and overestimating one's ability.

But after careful consideration, Qiao Hong gradually agreed with Xiao Gou's proposal.Since the siege and interception after the plan was leaked is inevitable, and this battle is inevitable, it is better to put it directly on the bright side than to let this battle start quietly in the dark.When war is declared, war is declared. Didn't they actually fight if they didn't declare war verbally?

The consequence of "touching porcelain" on the bright side is that if the fairy sword hits Waterloo, the negative impact on Red Dog will be so great that Red Dog will play a holographic game next time, and it is estimated that not many people will buy it.But even without this incident, the impact would actually be the same, it's just that the ridicule by the crowd is stronger now.

No, not necessarily... Qiao Hong frowned, and stroked his fingers habitually: "Perhaps after this declaration of war, even if some people are not satisfied with our game, they will sympathize with us. We develop the game The speed used to be just amazing, and now... well, it wasn't forced, but the players would definitely think we were forced."

Xiao Gou smirked and said, "Does it have a hint of tragedy?"

Qiao Hong nodded: "From the perspective of a bystander, this is indeed very sad."

How many people there are in Red Dog, you can know with a little heart.When they have developed a holographic game with such a small number of people in the development progress of three or four years in the time of developing a mobile game, and the production is still very good, the players will definitely give full play to their imaginations and imagine that the red dog is involved in the game. how much.

"Maybe they will think that you threw all your coffins into it." Xiao Gou crossed his legs and smiled angrily, "We must have put all our eggs in one basket."

"Money is not enough. You programmers, especially you, must have stayed up late until you died suddenly, so you can work overtime to make the game." Qiao Hong smiled softly, "You can teach your programmers how to act. , the others handed it over to me, and I will emphasize the rules and regulations."

He has heard and heard many ways to deal with similar situations, but he has never practiced them.Now is the time to practice.

"Leave the Internet public opinion to me, and you go to the police. However, the police will definitely not find any results. I hope that the work of the police will not be affected. Their work is already busy enough, so I am sorry to add trouble to them." Xiao Gou warned. , "Shouldn't it cause trouble?"

Qiao Hong's eyes softened, and he said, "No, I will handle it properly."

Xiao Gou gave Qiao Hong a thumbs up: "I leave it to you. The public opinion is left to me, hehehe, come on, the Pengci project has started."

Xiao Gou smiled like a villain, and sent a message to the programmers saying that he was working overtime for a meeting.

Programmers: "Finally there is a program that can be done! Boss!"

Xiao Gou: "No, we are discussing online public opinion, and we are ready to fight a public opinion war."

Programmers: "Wow, meow???"

Well, programmers don't get jobs that fit their status today.

But online public opinion is also very interesting, at least much more interesting than forcing them to write plots.The programmers came to work overtime, and after listening to Xiao Gou's theory of "touching porcelain", they were gearing up one by one, wishing they could immediately become trolls on the Internet, no, it was to sell miserably.

There were also people who breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that fortunately they did not sell Red Dog after thinking twice, otherwise they would definitely not be able to survive in the industry.The two self-made bosses are not as pure and kind as they appear on the surface.After surviving this temptation, they must be one step closer to the inner circle, right?

Moreover, now they are also looking forward to the expressions of those people being slapped in the face.

Everyone likes the scene of the underdog and the counterattack.Now they are firmly tied to Red Dog's boat, and Red Dog's interests are their interests.Red Dogs can also be proud when they receive praise.

Although everyone knows that a small company suddenly becomes so high-profile, it will definitely be more disgusted and targeted by big companies.But now they've been targeted, haven't they?It is mediocrity that is not envied and feared by others. The red dog is so powerful, it should be like the novels they have read, slapping his face and counterattacking all the way up, climbing to the top and disdain the crowd.

Whoa, whoa, it's on fire!

Well, this is indeed a group of young people who have not recovered from the second disease.

When Xiao Gou was cheering up his "brothers" who suffered from secondary illnesses and assigned work, Qiao Hong also approached Zou Hang and asked for a way to call the police without causing trouble to the police.

"You can just call the police, why do you have to think so much?" Zou Hang laughed.

Qiao Hong said helplessly: "I didn't intend to think about it so much, but I was told by Xiao Gou that the police are very busy and great. We can't cause trouble for them, and even cause them to deduct their wages. So I want to ask Uncle Zou , is there a way to only report the case, but they don't need to investigate the case?"

Zou Hang on the phone laughed even louder: "Okay, okay, you happen to have a friend in the police department, I'll give you the number, and you go directly to him. He should have a solution."

Qiao Hong immediately thanked him.

After Qiao Hong contacted the person introduced by Zou Hang, that person came out to have a meal with Qiao Hong himself.After he asked Qiao Hong's request in detail, he sighed and said, "Actually, you have no problem reporting the case now. This is indeed what should be reported. But it is really difficult for us to find out. Commercial espionage is something that needs to be found out." It took too much time and effort. Thank you for your understanding."

Qiao Hong immediately said: "No, no, we are bothering you too much. I will sort out the information and hope I won't embarrass you."

The man smiled and said, "It won't be difficult. Speaking of which, are you really going to make holographic games? I thought you would continue to make mobile games."

Qiao Hong shook his head, smiled and said, "I've already made three mobile games, and it's time to make a holographic game. If it wasn't for his insistence on not using my money to make games directly, we don't need to make mobile games to save money at all."

The man was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed loudly: "That's right, that's right. It's really amazing that you guys are still making mobile games to save money and starting a business step by step."

Qiao Hong sighed: "Yes, this is really exhausting."

The man thought that Qiao Hong's arrogance was very suitable for him. After the dinner, he exchanged contact information with Qiao Hong.

This person is Chen Guogang, who works for the Ministry of Public Security.According to him, he was just an ordinary clerk.But since he knew Zou Hang, he must be a second-generation official and a third-generation official.Qiao Hong just guessed this person's character, so he deliberately acted a little arrogant.

After the dinner, Chen Guogang said that Qiao Hong's small request would definitely be fulfilled, and thanked Qiao Hong for his understanding of the police.In the end, he half-jokingly asked Red Dog to think about making a game about the police.

When Qiao Hong went home and told Xiao Gou that the matter was settled, he also told Xiao Gou about Chen Guogang's joke: "Although he was joking, if you have similar ideas, you can come up with them. People of their status are not short of money. There is no shortage of opportunities to become famous, and it is not easy to take the initiative to ask, even if the request is a joke, he will accept your affection."

Xiao Gou, who was thinking about how to engage in online speech, scratched his head, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Oh, this is easy, I will make one right away."

Qiao Hong was surprised: "Immediately? Can you make it in time?"

Xiao Gou said: "It's just a small game. It's not much more difficult than cutting fruit. It's even easier than cutting fruit. It doesn't even require any materials. I can finish it in a day or two."

Qiao Hong smiled and said, "I trust you. I will help you draw whatever materials you need."

Xiao Gou said: "Alright, let me tell you about the plot of the game."

The game that Xiao Gou thought of suddenly was "Lifeline". "Lifeline" is a text adventure game released on the ios platform.The background of the game is that the survivor of the spaceship crash is seeking rescue on an alien planet alone. Players contact him through instant messaging to guide him forward.

The success of "Lifeline" is that it gives players a strong sense of substitution.For example, when the survivor Taylor followed the player's suggestion and chose to do something, he would lose contact for a long time, as if he really did it.The players anxiously wait for Taylor's news, as if they are really saving each other.

The program of this game is very simple for Xiao Gou, and it can be made in less than an hour. What is cumbersome is the plot.However, Xiao Gou can also be lazy in the plot, so he decided to ask Qiao Hong to contact Chen Guogang directly, asking for some real anti-terrorism cases to adapt.

The plot of Xiao Gou's game is set as a special police officer whose team action failed.He wants to go deep into the area controlled by terrorists now, and he wants to transport a piece of confidential information back to the headquarters, but all his comrades have died.What this special police officer faced was not only the pursuit of terrorists, but also the harsh natural environment, as well as the torment of hunger and pain.

In the game, the player plays the role of the liaison officer of the special police and also the friend of the special police.Because of the climate and terrain, as well as the fear of being alarmed, they were unable to locate the location of the special police, and thus could not send rescue. Players had to guide the special police to a rescue location to complete the rescue.

Xiao Gou originally thought about the plot of being trapped in a natural disaster, such as the rescue of a special police officer who went deep into the earthquake center, but considering the excitement of the plot, anti-terrorism can be added to factors such as gun battles, and it is easier to create a climax of the plot. Xiao Gou finally chose counter terrorism.

After Xiao Gou described the whole game, Qiao Hong realized that he had been tricked.

As Xiao Gou said, the selling point of this game lies in the plot and creativity, not the program.When it first appeared, there is a high chance that it will be popular, but following the trend of the game will not make players feel that kind of shock.

And how is Xiao Gou's screenwriting skills?Even if Qiao Hong wanted to close his eyes and brag, he felt helpless for this bastard who was dragged by the plot planning team to work for so long, and his writing was still dry.He even suspected that Xiao Gou did it on purpose.

"I will make up the outline!" Looking at Qiao Hong's eyes, Xiao Gou knew that the boss was on the verge of losing his temper, and immediately raised his hands to take on more work, "Da Qiao can help me revise it. It's just Dialogue shouldn’t require much literary attainment, right?”

Only then did Qiao Hong withdraw his threatening gaze, nodded his head, and said, "After finishing writing, I will send the plot to Uncle Chen, who will revise it again."

Xiao Gou smiled and said, "Then this game will probably take nearly a week to make."

Qiao Hong said: "You can let your programmers brainstorm together."

Xiao Gou laughed out loud.He could foresee the bitter faces of his little brothers.But as the boss, he has to write the plot, and the younger brothers have to keep up.In the future, these people will be responsible for the studio to make games independently. As the main strategy, even if the plot can be handed over to the plot planning, they should know what kind of background and story the game will tell.

So the programmers who were preparing to compete on the Internet were assigned another task of writing a plot.

Programmers: "...Actually, boss, you can entrust us with the task of writing programs!"

Xiao Gou: "No, no, this program is very difficult and important, and must be written by my parents."

The programmers were shocked by the shameless words of their boss.Boss, you just said that this game program is very simple and can be written in a few ten minutes. The plot is the most important thing.Now you say that the program is very difficult and important and must be written by you.The time interval between these two sentences is less than 10 minutes. Is it really not embarrassing for you to change your words so casually?

Xiao Gou: No embarrassment, anyway you have nothing to do with me.

What can programmers do?Of course, he succumbed to Xiao Gou's despotic power.Later, when these people were in charge of the studio independently, they also learned a lot from Xiao Gou's thick skin, which made the members of their studio love and hate, sometimes wishing to go up and beat up their boss.

Programmers: Hehehe, we actually think so too.That's how everyone came here.

Of course, this is all for later, now the programmers can only bitterly follow Xiao Gou to work overtime to write the plot.After they have been captured by plot planners for so long, although the writing is still dry and dry, the logic is still clear, and the written plot is not unreadable.

However, all the plots they wrote were dismissed by Xiao Gou.Xiao Gou asked these people to download the game after the game was released, compare the plot written by him and Qiao Hong, and find the shortcomings of the plot written by himself.

"Don't think that the plot you wrote will not be used in the game, you are just doing useless work." Xiao Gou said seriously, "After you create it yourself, you can find your own shortcomings by watching the plot created by me and Da Qiao. Text adventure games are games with relatively simple programs and relatively few resources. It is also a type of game that is currently neglected by the game industry. After you are in charge of the studio independently, the first game must be related to text adventure games. Now you will You should gradually learn to evaluate the plot. A main strategy may not be proficient in everything, but at least you must know how to do all of them, and have been involved in all of them before you can manage the overall situation and make a good game.”

The programmers immediately expressed that they were taught, and began to take time to modify their plots.They want to modify their plot to what they think is perfect, and then compare it with the final released game plot to see where they are worse.

After Qiao Hong watched the plot of the programmers, he found the shortcomings at a glance.In addition to the fact that the plot they described was too flat, and they didn't grasp the rhythm of the plot, which is a common problem for newcomers, the most important thing is that they didn't grasp the central idea correctly.

This text adventure game is not adventure, nor love, but survival, loyalty and glory.They don't have a deep understanding of special police and anti-terrorism, so when describing the plot, they talk too much and miss the point at all.

This is also a common problem in many games.They didn't study the tastes of the players they were targeting, and they didn't study the background of the plot and characters they wanted to describe. Naturally, the plots they wrote were not accepted by the players, and they were full of mistakes and omissions.

"You are quite good at teaching people." Qiao Hong originally suggested that programmers join in the creation, in order to reduce Xiao Gou's workload.Unexpectedly, Xiao Gou actually independently completed the outline of the entire plot, and turned this matter into "training" for programmers.

"In the future, they will all be independent people." This time the programmers resisted the temptation and did not betray the red dog. Xiao Gou gave them a high-level look and decided to spend more energy on training them. They are almost the same. Not everyone has creativity, and it is inevitable to follow suit. In the same type of games, the competition is plot, graphics and technology. Even if it is a purely confrontational game, the plot is not the most important component, but it must exist part. It is difficult for players to play a game whose plot does not meet their own appetite.”

Xiao Gou couldn't help frowning his eyebrows when he thought of the mentally retarded strategies he had encountered before, as if he had swallowed gall.

Can you imagine a person who is in charge of a female-oriented game, but insists on plot planning and writing a straight male cancer plot?This kind of game is doomed from the very beginning, right?Even he, a straight male programmer, couldn't help but want to flip the table when he heard the plot requested by the chief planner.

Well, straight male programmer.Xiao Gou stole a glance at Qiao Hong.Well, without blushing or heartbeat, he is still a straight man, that's right!

Qiao Hong touched his face in doubt: "Look at what I am doing? Is there something on my face?"

Xiao Gou lied casually: "Just now a small bug flew on your face, and now it flew away. Cough cough, continue the previous topic. The plot is very important. If they want to be on their own, they must at least be able to write a plot outline above the horizontal line .”

Qiao Hong nodded: "Indeed. I stayed up late today to revise and send it to Uncle Chen tomorrow. Keep busy, isn't there a mess on the Internet? You should send it later, right?"

While Xiao Gou was writing the plot, he also started an online public opinion war.

Under Xiao Gou's arrangement, Red Dog's official blog "popped" and posted an announcement, saying that their company secrets had been leaked, and they had called the police.

Red Dog’s official blog claims that the secrets leaked this time are not only Red Dog’s plan to make holographic games next, but also the new concept of interactive movie games, and even the plot and vertical drawings of the game were all packaged and stolen.They know that these people will definitely use Red Dog's ideas and materials to make some mobile or computer games with a relatively short development cycle, so as to prevent Red Dog's next games.But Red Dog is not afraid.

Red Dog has already invested all the funds into the development of this holographic game, and the programmers, including Mr. Xiao, have also moved the bed to the company, even if they die suddenly, they have to fight for it.They don't sell miserably, and they don't back down.Red Dog has always shown the utmost sincerity in making games, and it is the same this time.They will break the boat and fight their way out again.

The theft of Red Dog game secrets and the arrogant declaration of war once again ignited public opinion on the Internet, and were even reported by the official media in turn.Imperial police official Bo also said that the red dog did call the police.

Players who don’t talk about Red Dog, even the self-proclaimed “hardcore” players who don’t despise Red Dog’s “garbage mobile games have no technical content” are angry.

What about the government?Didn't the government say to crack down on illegal competition?Is there no one to directly steal other people's core information like this? ?
