Top game producer

A certain game development discussion group.

"Did you guys hear? Wang Jian's new game is a handheld game."

"What, a handheld game? This... I, a nobody, really can't understand what the big shot is thinking."

"Heh, so what if he's a big shot? Making handheld games is a dead end. Wang Jian is getting carried away, full of himself, thinking he can do anything."

"Yeah, it's not like it's overseas. There isn't even one influential handheld game company in China."

"Putting aside everything else, Penguin Company is the leader in the Huaguo game industry. After acquiring TianTianLe handheld game console, they made a big splash, but it's still half-dead. Now it's completely left to its own devices."

"Yeah, I have a friend who used to be in Penguin Company's game development department, but he made a major mistake and got thrown into the handheld department."

"Um, maybe they're cooperating with a famous overseas handheld manufacturer to develop it?"

"... Unlikely, right? Every handheld manufacturer has fixed and mature partners. They also have plans for what games to release each year. If Longyuan Interactive Entertainment was on the list, that would be big news. We would definitely get the news in China."

"No matter what, making handheld games in China... Wang Jian is bound to take a tumble this time. The more he invests, the harder he'll fall."

"Speaking of which, what game is he developing?"

"It's called 'Pocket Monsters'. It's said that he even put some easter eggs in 'Skiing Fred'."

"The currently discovered easter egg is a monster named Articuno. The art is great, it has the feel of an elf from a fantasy world."

"What's the use of good art? A game isn't just about the art. The most important thing is whether it's fun or not."

"Some people have analyzed that 'Pocket Monsters' is the same formula as the previous 'Monster Legend'. I think it's highly likely."

"If it's that old and boring plot, players definitely won't buy it. I've seen through everything."

"But what does the 'pocket' in 'Pocket Monsters' mean?"

"Hmm... The protagonist suddenly shrinks one day and falls into an alternate dimension in the pocket?"

"That makes sense! It should be like that."

"It's estimated that the players who buy 'Pocket Monsters' will be going for the art. To be honest, that's also a way to go."

"Yeah, if you don't do something new, you don't even dare to make RPGs anymore, for fear that players will find it old-fashioned and end up losing money on sales."

"Speaking of which, the universe theme was popular before. How was the RPG your company made about evil aliens invading Earth? How were the sales?"

"Hey, don't mention it. We came up with a particularly fresh and fun setting, which was that aliens eat poop and can poison aliens to death in the poop. As a result, players said that the setting of aliens eating poop was stupid, and many people sent messages to customer service to scold us every day."

"Then the sales must have been dismal, right?"

"After scolding us, these players deliberately gave the game good reviews. The game's rating was inexplicably high, which attracted many players who didn't know the truth to jump in. When there were more players who jumped in, the rating had a cliff-like drop.

Overall, not only did we not lose money, but we even made a small profit. Although we were scolded a bit miserably, it was painful but happy."

"Haha, 666666."

"Luck, luck."

Whether it was players or game developers, they generally held a pessimistic attitude towards "Pocket Monsters."

The reason for the pessimism was very simple and pure: handheld games made in China all failed!

The few remaining handheld game companies in Huaguo, who were living a Buddhist life, were also very puzzled when they got this news and inquired about each other.

Which company is Longyuan cooperating with?

After inquiring for a long time, they all said they didn't know!

This was a bit strange.

About half a month later.

An amazing piece of news came out, which made the game industry boil again.

The title of the news was: "Shocking, Wang Jian Acquired Xiaobawang!"

This time the news wasn't clickbait. Everyone who saw the title was really shocked and their eyes popped out.

Xiaobawang! That was a legend of an era!

Now it was actually acquired by Wang Jian.

The article also posted the results of the author's query of Xiaobawang on a special enterprise query application.

The legal representative of Xiaobawang clearly wrote Wang Jian, and this Wang Jian also had Longyuan Interactive Entertainment, which ruled out the possibility of the same name.

No wonder I didn't hear any news about Longyuan cooperating with any handheld game company before. It turned out that he was going to do it himself!

The players' reaction to this incident was very enthusiastic, half of which was focused on the nostalgia for Xiaobawang, recalling the games they played back then.

The other half was overwhelming questioning!

"Didn't you say that Xiaobawang switched to selling toys? After so many years, even if the handheld was powerful back then, it's still at the level of garbage now."

"Xiaobawang was famous back then, but the domestic handheld market was just starting out at the time, and it caught up with a good time for development. It doesn't mean that the handheld level is high! Otherwise, it wouldn't have been defeated by overseas handheld companies such as Nintendo.

What is Wang Jian trying to do by acquiring Xiaobawang? If you want to make handheld games, I think it would be stronger to cooperate with Penguin Handheld.

Then there is only one answer!

Wang Jian wants to consume the players' feelings! Shameless, despise!"

"Alas, I didn't expect Wang Jian to really degenerate."

There were also players who supported Wang Jian.

"I believe in Wang Jian. Every game of his is made with heart. I have a lot of fun playing them! Everything has to wait until the game comes out before a conclusion can be made. It's too early to draw conclusions now!"

"Does a producer who can make games like 'To the Moon' and 'Kingdom Defense' need to consume players' feelings? You think too highly of yourselves!"

"Why does everyone say that Wang Jian is not good enough for every game?"

"Hey, I'm just a rebellious person. The more you question it, the more I want to buy it when 'Pocket Monsters' comes out!"

And besides the players, the industry insiders were even more shocked!

"Is he trying to eat alone?"

"Acquiring Xiaobawang game console, Wang Jian's ambition is obvious!"

"Only if you are very confident in your game will you do this! Otherwise, wouldn't you lose a lot of money?"

"Yeah, no boss does business with the intention of losing money, right?"

"Wang Jian chose the handheld game that is destined to fail, and he boldly acquired Xiaobawang. I really don't understand. Is he a genius or a madman?"

"If this game is not good, then his reputation will be completely ruined!"

"It won't be completely ruined, but it will definitely be greatly damaged. He will have to make several good games in a row to regain the players' trust."

"Even if "Pocket Monsters" is ultimately of medium-to-high quality, it will be sprayed like crazy. Only if it is very good, so good that players can only say good things about it!"

"Is that possible?"

"Definitely impossible."
