Say Yes To Making Bad Games, What the Hell is Titanfall? Chapter 8

  Chapter 8 Picasso has to call you a teacher

   It was naturally not someone else who spoke.

  It was the president Shen Miaomiao and the game director Gu Sheng.

  Actually, from a commercial point of view, there is nothing wrong with Chu Qingzhou's proposal.

   And in this world, many game developers do the same.

   While the popularity of the game is still there, hurry up and develop the second part to make some money.

  However, Shen Miaomiao and Gu Sheng have different ideas.

  Shen Miaomiao's idea is very simple - Gu Sheng can no longer gain popularity!

  Nowadays, Cat Leo is on fire and is gaining momentum.

  And the investment of this game is small, and the production cycle is short.

  If a sequel is launched at this time, it is tantamount to jumping into the fire pit by oneself, and the system will definitely lose its function again.

  So, she must not let Gu Sheng borrow this shareholder advantage.

   And Gu Sheng's thoughts are not complicated - he doesn't want to lose his character.

   After finishing the first part, make the second part immediately. In this world, this is the most commonly used trick by game developers.

  Because they are afraid that their next independent work will hit the market, they have to take advantage of the lingering heat of the popular work to quickly launch a sequel that can make money steadily.

  But Gu Sheng didn't think about it!

   As the man who masters the treasure trove of the game.

  As long as the emotional value is enough, the game in his hands is all-encompassing!

   Take out one casually, in this world, it is the existence of Wang Zha level!

  Why do you need to ruin your own reputation and lower the company's reputation for tens of thousands of dollars?

   After all, he is going to be the king of the game!

  Furthermore, emotions are very resilient.

  If a person is immersed in an emotion for a long time, he will soon develop resistance.

  And if there is another Maolio work released at this time, it will easily cause players aesthetic fatigue and even disgust.

  Personally, Gu Sheng was worried that making a sequel would affect his reputation as a designer.

  Yu Gong, he also felt that a sequel would be detrimental to the company's reputation and even affect the company's revenue.

  So for the sequel, Gu Sheng is naturally firmly opposed.

  After all, it was so easy for him to find a boss like Nezha who is stupid and rich.

  Treasure it, strive to make the company bigger and stronger, and create greater glories.

   Hearing objections from both sides at the same time, the two looked at each other.

  Little Nezha raised his hand, motioning for Gu Sheng to explain his reasons.

   Just kidding, she can't say that she is afraid that the company will make money and delay her loss, right?

  Gu Sheng nodded, and said:

   "From a business point of view, Secretary Chu's suggestion is completely correct, but it is aimed at mature game companies,"

   "Their family has a big business, and they have countless projects in their hands. They definitely want to get the most benefits in the shortest time,"

   "But we are different."

   Speaking of this, Gu Sheng looked around at the few people present: "We are just a newly established game company."

   "Now, we have taken this first step by chance, and we have just made a splash in the market. It is not appropriate to make a sequel, showing a tired state of being exhausted,"

   As he spoke, Gu Sheng cast his eyes on Shen Miaomiao:

   "So Mr. Shen, I'm applying for a new project to develop a game that is completely different from Mao Leo,"

   “At the same time, increase capital investment and make further attempts.”

good! !

energetic! !

  Shen Miaomiao, who was still lacking in interest just now, heard the words "increase investment", and immediately lifted her spirits!

  It is good to increase investment!

  The bigger the investment, the better!

   It is best to put it in and never come back!

  Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Shen Miaomiao's big eyes:

   "It seems Director Gu already has a plan, that's great!"

  In Shen Miaomiao's view, 80% of Cat Leo's success is due to their luck.

  But people can't be lucky every day!

   Besides, even Gu Sheng said it himself, this time it was just a "fluke" success!

   In other words, he has no idea about his next game!

  Even this new project is just an attempt by Gu Sheng!

   It sounds like a loss-making posture!

   Just what I want!

  The little fire in Shen Miaomiao's heart was ignited again, she nodded:

   "So what type of game is Director Gu's new project this time?"

   "Uh... kind of hard to say,"

   Facing Shen Miaomiao's question, Gu Sheng pondered for a while:

  “If you have to classify it, it should be regarded as a role-playing online confrontation casual puzzle game.”

  Damn it!

  After hearing this, let alone Shen Miaomiao and Chu Qingzhou.

  Even the financial lady was shocked!

  Where do you put this stack of BUFF?

   What kind of weird game is this? !

  Role-playing, online confrontation, and leisure puzzles?

   How did you bring these game genres together?

and!

  According to her understanding, in today's game circle, there are only four mainstream game types—ACT (action game), MOBA (multiplayer online tactical arena), FPS (first-person shooter) and RCG (racing).

  Among them, the first two are mainstream games, focusing on the PC market.

  The latter two game types fully occupy the somatosensory cabin market.

   Let's look at Gu Sheng's game again!

   What do you want!

   For a while, let alone other people, even Shen Miaomiao hesitated!

   "Ah-ah?"

  Shen Miaomiao even thought she had heard wrong:

   "I'm sorry Director Gu, I... don't quite understand."

  You can't understand either.

  Gu Sheng sighed inwardly.

   This game is too abstract, not to mention indescribable with the level of games in this world, even in his previous life, it would be quite an explosive existence.

   "To be more specific..."

  Gu Sheng tried his best to describe this game in the simplest terms:

   “One of the players plays the role of the father, and the other player plays the role of the baby, and the two sides fight against each other,”

   "The mission goal of the father is to ensure that the baby does not die during the game time,"

   "And the baby's mission goal is to try to die as much as possible."

   Silent...

  The audience is silent...

  Gu Sheng's description of the game directly shut down the brains of those three people on the spot.

   Even for a while, they couldn't find a suitable adjective to describe the level of abstraction of this game!

  A same question lingered in the minds of the three—

   Is this the **** idea of ​​carbon-based creatures? ? ?

  Originally, the setting of one person being a father and one person being a son was enough to explode.

   Unexpectedly, Gu Sheng's design of the way to determine the outcome of the game has broken through the sky!

  Especially the sentence "Baby's task goal is to die as much as possible"!

   Is this the **** game?

  How did Thirty-Seven Degrees mouth say such cold words?

   Are you mentally stable?

  Looking at the strange gazes cast by the three people, Gu Sheng smiled a little awkwardly, like a sunny and cheerful boy.

  Finally, he turned his attention to the little Nezha who was doing complex calculations in his brain:

   "So Mr. Shen, can my game... be approved?"

  Shen Miaomiao was silent for five seconds before slowly nodding her head.

able.

   Not only can.

   is simply too capable.

   As far as you are so creative, you are too talented to work in our game company.

  A hundred years later, Picasso would have to call you a teacher.
