You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 283 Let’s make a “Strange Small Country Simulator” to test the waters first (2 in 1 order required)

On Dilidili Danmu Network, the trailer for Explosion Network’s new VR game “Gun Girls 2: Exile” was released.

At the beginning of the trailer, a white-haired girl in a white dress, holding potato flowers, stands in the ruins.

She was then tackled by a gun-wielding girl named "Tactical Doll".

At the moment of falling, the camera of the trailer turned and a bullet flew over the heads of the two people, with a sharp shooting sound and sparks.

At this moment, the entire process uses VR main perspective, and the audience seems to be in the ruins, feeling the tension and excitement of bullets whizzing past.

Then, a team of other tactical humanoid girls appeared on screen.

They quickly deployed a defense line to cover the girl in white as she evacuated from the ruins. The atmosphere on the battlefield became increasingly tense, with enemy concentration teams, armored assault teams, and armed helicopters appearing one after another, setting off a fierce battle.

The leader, a tactical humanoid girl, was wearing a tight combat suit. She waved her hand to signal the team members to disperse and quickly formed a protective barrier.

The other team members each took up advantageous positions, vigilantly observing their surroundings. Their movements, rendered in VR, were fluid and powerful, each step appearing supremely professional.

Beside the ruins of a shattered vehicle, a tactical figure, armed with a high-precision sniper rifle, scanned the distance with a solemn gaze. Breathing slowly, she suddenly raised her hand and took aim at a lurking enemy in the distance. Instantly, a bullet whizzed past, killing the lurking enemy.

At the same time, another tactical humanoid girl quietly approached the girl in white, raised a micro-bazooka, and locked onto the enemy helicopter in the air.

With a gleam in her eyes, she squeezed the trigger and a rocket whizzed out, hitting the helicopter's wing precisely and setting off a series of sparks.

The tactical humanoid girls seem to exist in reality; their movements, expressions, and even the determination in their eyes are all reproduced vividly.

Bullets fly and explosions ripple through the air, transporting viewers to a real battlefield. The entire trailer seamlessly captures the immersive experience of this VR game, leaving viewers eager for a brand-new gaming experience.

……

After the trailer was broadcast, players across the Internet went crazy:

"[Excited ing] Ahhhh, after watching the trailer I can't wait to step into this exciting battlefield myself!"

"The images are so realistic, it's like being there. VR technology is so powerful!"

"Indeed, this graphics is a complete dimensionality reduction blow to other games currently on the market!"

"The coordination of the tactical humanoid team is simply the pinnacle of the art of warfare."

"Lightning my wife!"

"98K my wife!"

"My Niuzi has already told me that he bought the game! I hope the VR headset provided by Longteng Group isn't too expensive."

"Before, I thought that Longteng Group's cross-border VR game development and its forced promotion of its own VR games might not have a good effect, but it turns out that they really have the money to fight back."

"The pressure is now on the Liu Group. Youyi Company needs to fight back."

"With this kind of art, it's impossible for this game to fail, right? I can't see any reason why it would fail in the future."

……

At this time, in the Taoyuan Township villa, the employees saw the public opinion on the Internet and felt under great pressure.

Recently, VR games can be said to be at the forefront of the gaming industry, and everyone, both human and ghost, wants to get involved.

At first, they thought that their competitors were only those few big manufacturers.
Unexpectedly, in just two weeks, hundreds of game companies have announced their plans to enter the VR game development field.

What makes everyone even more uneasy is that in the trailer video of "Gun War Girls 2", Taoyuan Township has no presence at all!
Taoyuan Township has clearly announced that it is about to develop a VR project, but when discussing the competitors of Gun Girls 2, it seems that the entire industry and player community have ignored Taoyuan Township.

Come to think of it, how could Taoyuan Township, with its current size, possibly support the resource consumption of developing VR hardware and games at the same time?
Longteng Group has 30 employees worldwide, and Liu Group has 18 employees worldwide.
There are only 300 people in Taoyuan Township, it’s noisy!

Let’s first find a way to survive under the pressure of the giants.

At this time, Liu Mengyuan, the company's vice president, noticed the subtle changes in the employees' emotions.

She remembered her conversation with Lu Yu over the weekend, so she sent an email to all employees:
“Although our company’s exploration of new areas of VR has not received much attention recently,
But I hope that all of you students can keep calm and endure the loneliness.

Everyone, whether new or old employees, should learn from our General Manager Lu and learn his calmness!

As the company's boss, Mr. Lu always looks relaxed on the surface, but he is always able to plan and win battles from afar!

Therefore, any company system formulated by President Lu is not as simple as it seems!
Everyone should understand Mr. Lu’s good intentions in launching the “Leisurely Daily King Plan” and the “Werewolf Killing Plan”.

Lu Yu wanted to use this relaxing method to help everyone adjust their work status.
Combining work and rest is for higher production enthusiasm!
Here, I would also like to quote Mr. Lu’s latest quote:
Some things are best left to their own devices. The more you seek answers, the more confused you become. The more you try to grasp something, the more it eludes you. More haste makes waste. Maybe if you just ignore it, it will slowly become apparent.

Please remember your original intention in deciding to join the gaming industry! "

When everyone saw Liu Mengyuan's email, they suddenly had an epiphany, like a bolt of enlightenment.

So that’s it, we understand, we understand it all!

Everyone's eyes were slightly moist.

They also felt at first that it was illogical for President Lu to launch so many welfare programs that hindered work. Judging from the results, their vision was too narrow!
If it weren’t for Mr. Liu’s reminder, I would have almost missed the big thing!

They are really a couple sleeping in the same bed. We are ashamed of ourselves!

At this moment, a system light screen popped up in front of Lu Yu:
All the staff at Taoyuan Township are delighted and excited about your good intentions. Leisure Points +2600.

? ? ? ? ? ?
Lu Yu was confused.

In order to prevent you little idiots from misinterpreting my various welfare plans, I have insisted on keeping silent.

What's wrong with you guys?
However, after frowning and thinking for a moment, Lu Yu was relieved.

Maybe, after being bombarded with benefits from the company, these guys finally figured it out and understood their good intentions?
Otherwise, he really couldn't imagine who would stab him in the back.

Well, never mind that for now. Anyway, I can earn some points, which is great.

……

Office area of ​​the Zizai Studio Group.

After seeing Liu Mengyuan's email on the computer, Mo Xiaoxuan, the studio head, finally made up his mind and came to Lu Yu's workstation.

"Mr. Lu, we at Zizai Studios are also looking to establish a new VR project, and we'd like to hear your opinion."

"Huh?" Lu Yu was stunned. "Why so sudden?"

"Because... the studio has recently expanded, and the main development work for "Free Mouth Cannon Life" and "Eating Simulator" has been completed, so now we are doing some simple post-production maintenance.

The project team's workload has dropped sharply, and the work saturation has dropped below 40%.

So, I want to ask, are there any new project opportunities?"

Lu Yu was confused: "Work pressure has dropped suddenly, isn't this a good thing?"

Originally, Lu Yu didn't want other project team members to start any more projects. Wouldn't it be good if everyone continued to sit idle at their workstations, slacking off and eating and drinking all day?

Besides, I have cat petting, afternoon tea, and a leisurely daily routine. I have also built so many leisure and entertainment facilities in the company.
Isn't it just to prevent you from being idle and starting to find work for yourself?

So, Lu Yu waved his hand firmly:
"No need to start a project. It's fine for you to continue like this. After all, old games need constant maintenance."

"Eh?"

Now it was Mo Xiaoxuan's turn to be confused. Honestly, Mo Xiaoxuan felt that if he continued to be idle like this, something bad would happen.

Although he is now nominally a game producer, since returning from the Chinese New Year, he has basically only done one thing -

He dressed up as a woman and transformed himself into Milk Candy to encourage all the project team members in the company.

Originally, Mo Xiaoxuan also attached great importance to the sacred mission given by President Lu, so in order to enhance the effect of encouragement, she has been silently practicing makeup skills and even deliberately maintaining her figure.

But in the end, I realized that dressing up as a woman is addictive. Once, it happens countless times, and I can’t stop at all!

And for some reason, he clearly didn't want to do this, but every time he dressed up as a woman, his skills in dressing up as a woman became more and more proficient.
Even his face became more and more handsome, more and more like a girl. The LSPs under him looked at his incarnation of milk candy with such disgust that they were almost tearing them apart.

So he felt that it was necessary to find something serious to do, otherwise something would go wrong!
"Anyway, I have my own plans." Lu Yu said with a smile.

According to his subsequent leisure point cycle plan, one of the company's studio groups will be selected to develop the games needed for this cycle, and the remaining studio groups will only need to maintain the existing old games. There is no need to develop new games at all.

But as he was thinking this, the system suddenly popped up a prompt:
【Warning of negative work progress】

[Game development is the company's legitimate main business. The system has detected that the host is deliberately blocking the project launch, which is clearly unreasonable and passive behavior. Please correct it promptly.]

Good heavens, I really went too far.

Lu Yu rubbed his brows and called out to Mo Xiaoxuan, who had just turned away dejectedly and was about to leave:

"Well, I approve the project."

"??????"

Although he didn't understand why Mr. Lu's thinking had changed 180 degrees, Mo Xiaoxuan still looked surprised.

Lu Yu thought for a moment and added:
“But I have a few requests.

First, you must ensure that the project team's workload is not saturated and does not exceed the bottom line stipulated by the company's "reducing efficiency and increasing costs" system.

Second, you need to control the project scale and cost and make a small-scale VR game.

I think that your studio's product would be best used to do some preliminary technical verification and pave the way for the Leisure Studio Group's "My Wife is the Savior" and the company's VR hardware.

As for the subject matter of the project... I haven't decided on it yet, I'll let you know when I do."

……

After Mo Xiaoxuan left, Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as I manually control the resource input of Mo Xiaoxuan's group, there will be no big problem.

All members of the project team had no experience in VR game development, so all they could do was produce some small-scale games that weren't of the quality needed to become blockbusters.

As a result, just as he breathed a sigh of relief, before he could even get comfortable, the system screen popped up in front of him:

Hua Wu, a company employee, was frustrated due to a project development issue and suffered a critical hit. Her leisure points were -30.

Lu Yu was shocked. My goodness, how come you are the same as Mo Xiaoxuan, always deducting points when you are in a bad mood.

This is all my hard-earned money!

孽 孽!
Lu Yu didn't want to delay, so he hurried to the office area where the Leisure Studio Group was located to find Hua Wu to find out the situation.

Hua Wu turned pale and almost cried:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu. I have no experience in game development. I never imagined that turning an idea from a document into a game program would be so complicated and difficult."

Lu Yu thought to himself, in fact, when you wrote that project document, I knew that the current situation was inevitable.

If you weren't completely inexperienced, I wouldn't have hired you.

Lu Yu was thinking of saying something comforting to deceive her, when suddenly, the system prompted again:
[Employee Hua Wu is in a depressed mood, suffers a critical hit and a double hit, and her leisure points are -50]

Lu Yu was shocked. Wow, you are even more ruthless than Mo Xiaoxuan when he just joined the company. You can deduct points and even chop them forward?
Moreover, based on the underlying rule of diminishing marginal returns of the system, the more unpleasant work-related experiences employees have, the greater the deductions will be.

This time he couldn't fool around anymore, Lu Yu asked:

"Well, what difficulties did you encounter during the development of your project?"

Hua Wu started to complain like a machine gun:
The vast urban world she envisioned required realistic natural landscapes, including vegetation, terrain, and water bodies. Producing these details required a large amount of graphic resources and rendering technology.

Realizing the diversity and mutual interaction of scene ecosystems requires highly complex program logic and graphics rendering technology.

Loading large-scale maps requires addressing optimization and memory management issues to ensure that the game runs smoothly while providing high-quality graphical details.

Furthermore, the game requires advanced rendering technology and astronomical simulation to achieve a dynamically changing sky, including sunrise, sunset, and starry skies. Furthermore, dynamic weather transitions, from sunny to cloudy to rainy, require smooth weather effects.

These are all technical challenges when it comes to VR development.

……

Listening to Hua Wu's summary, Lu Yu sighed.

According to his experience in his previous life, it was easy to take too big a step and end up in trouble when starting such a huge project.

One or two small-scale products should be made in the early stage to conduct technical verification.

In particular, it is necessary to verify the technical issues of scenario development and environmental simulation. Only when there is a mature development pipeline can a new project of such a scale be launched.

and many more!

Wasn’t Mo Xiaoxuan’s group worried about having no projects to do just now?
Why not let Mo Xiaoxuan make a similar technology verification game!
In this way, the big commission-deducting companies from me will not easily deduct commission from me.

What if the game accidentally becomes a hit?
Lu Yu smiled slightly, feeling confident.

Haha, as long as they are under my real-time monitoring, through some fancy operations, it will be impossible for these two projects to become hits!
So, after comforting Hua Wu, Lu Yu sent an email to Mo Xiaoxuan about the technical problems that needed to be verified in her project.

Mo Xiaoxuan read Lu Yu's email and thought to himself: Mr. Lu's request seems to require verification in various wild and large-scale environments. Isn't he just asking me to make a game that looks manly?

For example, you can use VR to experience battlefield killing, wilderness survival, sleeping in the open air, excitement, etc. in real time.

Mo Xiaoxuan thought so and opened Dilidili on his phone out of boredom.

He casually clicked on the system-recommended video of a UP host he had followed, and suddenly, a familiar voice came:

"Hello everyone, I'm the new UP host, Little John Khan."

He loves watching this UP host's series of videos about strange small countries, especially those about benevolent African kings, and he has watched each episode more than once.

As he watched, Mo Xiaoxuan's mind suddenly shuddered!
Yes, doesn’t the harsh African continent meet these requirements?

So, with ideas and inspiration flowing like a spring, he quickly opened the document and began to write the project's concept and game concept slogan:
"Arrived on the African continent and became a member of the Tongliao universe.

Experience the moment when the stars shine!

From the African King, choose the character you want to play:
Do you want to be a model of a benevolent monarch like Bokassa?
Want to be the people’s loving father Duvalier?

Or the African saint Bowani?
Or challenge all the cazaphine in the world?
There are also Sankara and Compaoré, who are known as the African Che Guevara!
Use VR equipment to experience the excellent matching mechanism of the African region, experience the exciting war, and the "friendly physical exchanges" with the people and neighboring countries.
The peculiar small country simulator will bring you the brand new Tongliao universe!

Real-time power management and strategic simulation, how to fight your way out of hell and unify the African continent?
Exclusively produced by Taoyuan Township, please stay tuned!
