Otherworldly Architect

Black "Mortal Soul" is absolutely black and immovable, especially now during the Blue Star Carnival, the popularity of players is unmatched.

It is impossible to play "Pioneer of the Herd" at all.

This game has only been released for about a month, and it is already completely cold, and even Tingxi Studio's reputation has slipped all the way to the bottom.

Inside the cruise capital, bad voices have already begun to appear.

Several capital tycoons originally took a fancy to Zhu Wenshu's "talent" and wanted to make his game more commercialized to collect money.

But now let alone money, even the most basic enthusiasm is lacking, which makes people doubt Zhu Wenshu's ability.

Zhu Wenshu wandered around in the company, even selling a property he invested in, and finally managed to please a certain boss, agreeing to give him another chance.

But this time, there is even less room for him to play.

The death order from above is: No matter what subject matter, no matter what background, just make money!

If the profit reaches the company's expectations, Zhu Wenshu will continue to invest in the announcement; but if it fails to meet the passing line, then the entire Tingxi Studio will be cut and reorganized, and Zhu Wenshu will be assigned to another group and given to other projects. work to earn a living.

In short, with Zhu Wenshu's arrogant personality, he would never accept the latter ending.

At this time, Zhu Wenshu was already panicked.

Asking himself, he actually doesn't know what kind of games can make money... Before he made such a well-received and well-received game as "Grasp of the Empire", he himself didn't know it.

It was because of the instant popularity that the title of "genius" was too loud, which made him think that he was really talented, and that any game he really made could become popular.

But now he knows—talent?He doesn't seem to have any talent!Otherwise, how could the results of "Pioneer of the Herd" be so dismal?

so what should I do now?

If he doesn't make money in the next game, he will show his true colors. By then, let alone success, what about the VAM agreement with Cruise Capital...

That's a debt of more than 300 million yuan!

Mention the word "make money"——

Zhu Wenshu turned his attention to Tulong Baodao Studio, the place where the well-known "God of Wealth" in the industry is located.

Since the launch of "Idle Heroes" last year, Tulong Baodao has successively acquired several small projects to operate.

With their excellent operational capabilities and good relationships with major platforms, these small projects still have good results, but none of them are as impressive as the results of "Idle Heroes".

Although many people are now deliberately imitating, they just can't learn the money-making skills of the God of Wealth.

After playing a few games, many local tyrants will sigh: "It's better to make a game made by Tulong Baodao himself! It's cool as it should be, and it will never be muddled!"

Recently, however, Dragon Slaying Sword is said to have another project of its own.

Their chief designer is also used to being mysterious. No one knows what he is thinking about and what he plans to do in the next game.

But this is not absolute.

The so-called "money can turn ghosts", if the money reaches the cruise capital, then many secrets will not be secrets.

Although the cruise ship has not been able to find the identity of the God of Wealth himself so far, they have bribed an intern at Tulong Baodao Studio and obtained some internal secrets about the new project.

——Tulong Baodao Studio is currently searching for talents in [-]D level production!

Everyone was equally shocked when they heard the news.

It is already the interstellar era, and there are very few two-dimensional entertainments, and it is only used for special nostalgic themes.

Two-dimensional games basically cannot be turned into VR, even if played on a mobile phone, it still lacks a sense of substitution.

After all, the current trend is "the more real, the more fun"...

No, that was already the trend three years ago.

Since the birth of Blue Star and Tulong Baodao Studio, many people in the industry can't tell what the trend is.

The purpose of Tulong Baodao Studio to find 2D talents is very obvious. Their next game will definitely be a 2D horizontal version, which is confirmed by internal information.

Cruise Capital also successfully photographed a manuscript——

The manuscript of the legendary "God of Wealth"!

After all, it's a candid shot, and it's a little blurry, but you can still tell that it's a level design.

The features of the horizontal version of the game are all available, and the stickman in the middle should be the image of the protagonist.

This manuscript, in just one week, spread throughout the cruise capital and game-related business departments.

Everyone holds it in their hands and regards it as a standard, as if they want to get some truth from this manuscript.

It took a lot of effort for Zhu Wenshu to get this picture.

Because everyone is not happy to spread too much!

Everyone in Cruise Capital is secretly a competitor, and no one wants to hand over such "martial arts cheats" to their opponents for nothing.

But it was quite difficult for Zhu Wenshu to get this blueprint.

To be reasonable, the manuscript of "God of Wealth" is too abstract!

There is only a little stickman standing on a two-dimensional checkpoint with three floors up and down. It is estimated that he is going to jump through the checkpoint.

There is a circle drawn on the top, I don't know what it is, and there is a circle of weed-like things growing on the ground below.

Who can know what it is?

Zhu Wenshu locked himself in his study for a whole night and did not realize anything in the end.

I can only confirm that those things with arrows drawn should be some traps... right?

Zhu Wenshu looked at it, really wanted to vomit blood for three liters, found the "God of Wealth", and shook his shoulder: "Please write the manuscript clearly, please! Who knows what you have like this?" Inspiration!"

But even if you can't understand it, at least the tone of this "2D jumping adventure break through" can be determined.

The next day, Zhu Wenshu reported the subject to the contact person of Cruise Capital.

"The Tulong Baodao is going to make this, it must be the next outlet!"

"The God of Wealth never sees rabbits and doesn't spread eagles. So far, there is no game that does not make a lot of money. We have also investigated the market for two-dimensional breakthroughs. Now there is a shortage of core games, and the player circle is also scattered. If This game is well done, it is really possible to unify the world of [-]D games, and directly make a blockbuster."

"...Copying his level design? No, no, no, the way of thinking of a ghost is hard to imitate."

——It's not just "difficult to imitate", it's simply that I can't even read the manuscript.

Zhu Wenshu bit the bullet and explained: "We can combine this theme and make our own things. I think we can refer to the combat system of "Grasp of the Empire", so that the new game can have the weaknesses of both."

New games have to be successful.

This point almost made Zhu Wenshu dazed.

He is now pushed to the end of the cliff, and one step back is the abyss.

For this reason, he let go of all his pride, swallowed his anger, made a small fuss, and even committed the most shameless behavior of himself in the past——

Yes, he not only copied his own successful game system in the past, he also completely accepted other people's design concepts.

He has completely lost confidence in his own judgment, but he is willing to believe that the "God of Wealth" of Tulong Baodao is the truth and the iron law.

The person in charge of the cruise line read Zhu Wenshu's new proposal, but he smiled.

He didn't say any explicit sarcasm, but his eyes were already extremely contemptuous.

——What game design "genius"?In the end, she is not exactly the same as everyone else, crawling at the feet of capital for money, and becoming a bitch who is as good as a man and has no professional ethics at all.

He said: "The new game is a horizontal version, right? I want to tell you in advance that you know that there are dozens of project teams in the cruise ship, and there are countless people who have the same idea as you. The new game opened this month You are already the fourth one in the horizontal version of the game project. If you don’t make your own characteristics and achievements, the headquarters won’t look at you differently because of God of Wealth’s manuscript.”

Zhu Wenshu understood what he meant, quickly showed a flattering smile, and repeatedly invited him to the evening dinner.

During these days on the cruise ship, he has not improved in other skills, but he has become more and more proficient in eating, toasting, and flattering.

……

At this very moment, in the studio of Tulong Baodao, in a meeting room.

Mingyan's avatar is sitting at the top of the conference table, talking eloquently to the manuscript on the screen:

"...To sum up, the focus of the new game will be on viewing and entertainment. This is a brand new attempt. According to my estimation, the volume of "Iwannagohome" will not exceed 100MB, including a total of three levels , eleven horizontal maps and three bosses.

"A total of 8 people present are the main force of our game project. Theoretically speaking, it should only take up to two months to produce results. So the price of this game—"

"I'm going to set the price at 1 yuan."

In the conference room, everyone discussed with each other quietly.

Chaoyang League’s 1 yuan is still quite cheap. Some people saw it on the road and didn’t even bother to bend down to pick it up.

The price of "Minecraft" is 6 yuan, which is already surprising. It is a model game of high quality and low price.

Unexpectedly, the new game "Iwannagohome" is going to cost 1 yuan!This is almost a free gift to the players!

Even so, no one questioned God of Wealth.

Unlike in the Blue Star Studio, everyone in this meeting room is all about "money".

Before the chief designer makes a mistake, this is his speech, and no one will comment on his decision.

Because so far, the chief designer has not said that he missed a single time!

He said that the price of 1 yuan can make money, so this is a matter of course.

The only marketing person present even lowered his head and began to think of the corresponding advertisement.

At this time, the chief designer at the top said with a smile: "By the way, let's contact the relevant live broadcast platform again. Just say, our new project is very suitable for cooperation."
