My game, you have no right to award

Chapter 144 Look at this person
A conference room was filled with the mixed smell of cigarettes and coffee. A man wearing square-framed glasses stared intently at the user portrait displayed on the PPT in front of him.

"We have plenty of art resources this time! Three SSRs! Plus three SRs! Plus we can add the character touch system back. We must really boost revenue this time."

The producer's voice chattered into his ears, but his thoughts had already flown away.

"I've already applied for double the purchase volume. If I can't increase the turnover, you'll all go home!"

The producer pounded the table in frustration.

"Don't even say anything?"

"Aren't you all usually very talkative? Why are you silent now?"

The man looked out the window. The neon lights outside the distant building were still dazzling. He sometimes wondered whether it could be considered light pollution if such a building was still lit at two o'clock in the morning.

Tonight, while working overtime in the office, he suddenly saw a post on WeChat Moments by a former colleague.

Inside was a photo of the other party with the company logo at the entrance of Megvii Games, accompanied by a very literary text.

It is very much his style, but he himself does not appreciate it.

It was obvious that the other party was secretly celebrating the success of "The Netherworld".

Although he was very busy this week, he still tried the game "Youming Shanhai".

After all, it was the first 3A stand-alone game in China. As a Chinese game developer, it was impossible not to give it a try.

When he saw the CG animation at the beginning, he was also shocked, but he did not have any special reaction.

After all, there are many talented people in China, so he would not be surprised even if such an animation could be made.

But when he officially started playing the game, he was defeated.

There is no jealousy, no envy, no hatred, just a simple breakdown of defense.

When he controlled the protagonist hermit crab to spin in a circle, he knew in his heart that it was over.

Just the silky smooth control feel alone would not be able to achieve the same effect even if the company worked for another hundred years.

This is not just a matter of game type. Even if they made an action game, it would not be half as good as Netherworld.

In his eyes, the figure of his former colleague who participated in the production of this game suddenly became extremely tall, until he could no longer see the other person's back.

The man smiled bitterly. Who would have thought that the other party would actually join Kuangshi Games, and that the stand-alone game he participated in producing would actually become a hit game.

When the other party told him this, he always thought that the other party was daydreaming.

After all, where is the soil for making stand-alone games in China?
The talents, environment, and policies are all the opposite of a stand-alone game. If a stand-alone game can still be made under such circumstances, he really can't imagine what kind of ruthless person has the courage and strength to overcome all difficulties.

It can also compete with the huge profits in the mobile game market and resolutely choose to enter the domestic stand-alone game market.

This is no longer called a ruthless person, but a god-like person.

As it turns out, there really is such a genius.

At that time, my former colleague asked me to apply for a job at Megvii Games together, but he didn't go and my former colleague went alone.

From then on, the two went their separate ways, each focusing on their own things and no longer in contact.

The man originally thought that his former colleague would soon be unemployed.

He didn't mean to curse the other party, but he felt that a company like Megvii Games would at most compete for the false title of being the first domestic 3A stand-alone game, and in the end it would come to nothing.

If the game can be made according to the trailer, it will at least be at the level of the top European and American game companies.

is it possible? impossible.

This is his judgment.

But two years later, the two people's situations are very different.

Kuangshi Games became the pride and goal of all Chinese game developers. Netherworld Mountain and Sea sold millions of copies, and all employees involved in the project also enjoyed great success.

He simply couldn't imagine how much money each person would get from a project that was this successful.

I'm afraid it's more than hundreds of thousands.

No, I definitely underestimated it.

And more importantly, all employees who have participated in the "Youming Shanhai" project can now write this experience on their resumes!
What an enviable thing this is!
If they quit their jobs and look for new ones, or want to change jobs, they will be invincible just based on their experience in "The Netherworld Mountains and Seas".

Any domestic game company must be treated with courtesy and open arms.

If you were originally working as a copywriter in "Youming Shanhai", you would at least be the leader of the copywriting team after joining the company.

If it was an original art painting, it would have to be upgraded to a high-level one immediately after entering, instantly transforming into a high-level original art painting. The man fantasized and suddenly sighed inwardly. He remembered the scene when he first faced the boss in the game.

Just looking at the animation of the second stage of transformation, he didn't know how the other party could make it so natural.

Not to mention the combat module, which is completely of international level.

If I had gone to the interview with him...

Will it be...

"We must take good care of players who only play for a dozen minutes each day!"

The producer slammed the table in dissatisfaction, trying to draw the silent crowd's attention back to himself.

“How many times have I said it, fragmented time, fragmented time!”

"Do you understand the meaning of this word?"

"I've been asking you to work hard towards this goal. Is it really that difficult?"

"Look what you've done this week!"

"New plot content...outline setting...and historical background reference introduction?"

"While we have the time, why not optimize the automatic combat speedup we mentioned last time?"

"Are there really any players who would read this crap plot?"

The copywriter next to the man turned pale with anger and almost bit his lips until they bled. This was something he had completed after working overtime for several days, but it was said to be worthless.

The man came back to his senses and quickly spoke up for him, "Boss, everyone is inspired by Nether Mountain and Sea and wants to try some new ways to break the deadlock. Everyone is very enthusiastic about the work and wants to improve the project flow, so I agree."

The producer glanced at him sideways, snorted coldly, and then his attitude improved a little. It seemed that he valued men's opinions more.

However, the producer was still unhappy and kept muttering to himself.

"You still want to learn about the Netherworld Mountains and Seas? Stop making fun of me!"

"To make this game, hundreds of people huddled together in a tiny, shabby office for years, working day and night. Can you handle it?"

"Every day at the office, they just slack off. As soon as they're told to work overtime, they all disappear."

"Other people can sell their games for 300 yuan a copy. Our game can only sell for a few dollars for the beauty skins. You want to give the rest away. Do you think anyone wants it?"

"Don't be too ambitious or compare yourself to others. Focus on your own work. Once you have the ability, it's never too late to pursue your dreams!"

The man smiled, but his heart was dead.

Chase your dreams when you are ready...

Improve yourself before pursuing your dreams...

Chase your dreams when you have money...

It doesn't exist. This thing will never be ready.

If you want to pursue your dreams and succeed, there is only one possibility.

That is to drop everything, move forward without any worries.

Until you reach your goal.

Unsuccessful, they become benevolent.

This is the mindset of all those who achieve their dreams.

But the man was not one of them.

"Okay, let's plan which SSR to put in next week's six-yuan gift pack."

"The company needs to survive, and the channel needs to share the profits. You better work harder, otherwise we will all be left with nothing."

The producer has become obsessed with money. Game play and design have nothing to do with him anymore.

Making games is no different from making products; it's all about marketing and budget control. So what if you make a terrible product? As long as it sells, you'll be profitable in the end.

There are too many fools in the world, but too few liars.

As long as fools exist, gamers like them will not disappear.

It will never disappear.
