Game development giant

Zhou Yue leaned on the back of the boss's chair and looked at the side article on the "Game Time" website on the computer screen. The title of the article was astonishing: "Feng Su Mutual Amusement Day is dwindling, and Feng Su Abandon will rise."

In this article, the first is to introduce the current situation of Fengsu Mutual Entertainment. The layoffs, the merger of the project team, and the high hopes of the game are only one step away from bankruptcy and liquidation.

Immediately afterwards, this article began to introduce Mythology Network, and emphasized that its founder Li Yuanhang was the victim of the layoffs of Fengsu Interactive two years ago.

Then I used a long section to introduce Li Yuanhang's work at Fengsu, but he was not promoted when he worked hard, and was even laid off when his performance was sluggish.

Finally, after layoffs, Li Yuanhang developed the "Plague Company" alone, then set up Shinhwa Studio to develop "Monument Valley", then established Qinglong Studio and founded Shinhwa Network Technology Co., Ltd.

As 2021 is about to pass, Qinglong Studio’s first work "Bubble Hall" was born and quickly became the new favorite of countless casual players, and "Candle Man" by Mythology Studio led by Li Yuanhang himself will also be on sale. It can be expected that in the upcoming 2022, Mythology Network will inevitably become a force that cannot be ignored in China's game industry.

Below this article, there are hundreds of comments. Zhou Yue's face is very bad and he continues to look at these comments. Most players are scolding Fengsu Mutual Entertainment for money and wanting to be crazy, and will never touch Fengsu again. In the game, there are some players who are clamoring to let Fengsu refund the money. They found that the game was cold after spending in games such as "World Warriors"...

Zhou Yue resisted the urge to throw the mouse out and shut down the webpage. He remembered the young man with Liu Yong in his mind. It turned out that he was a fast employee before, and he was so talented that he was given by HR. Expelled?

If Li Yuanhang had not been expelled at the time, then the current Fengsu Mutual Entertainment might be another scene, right?

However, Zhou Yue also knew that he was thinking too far. Li Yuanhang was so talented that even if Feng Su did not fire him, he would probably stand on his own in a short time.

Zhou Yue himself knew very well that the current Fengsu was facing a life-and-death crisis. Several consecutive games failed to achieve the expected results. Two games even died violently shortly after they went live.

Now that Zhou Yue saw that "Bubble Hall" was on fire, he had an idea in his heart, and he immediately asked his secretary to notify the last project team leader Wang Kai to come to the meeting.

Not long afterwards, Wang Kai, the leader of the project team, hurried over.

Zhou Yue came to the sofa and sat down: "Pharaoh, sit down too."

Wang Kai didn’t know why Zhou Yue suddenly called him over. Because of the message that Fengsu was about to go bankrupt, some people who are still working at Fengsu were worried, for fear that when they came to work the next day, they found that the company was bankrupt. , And still owe them the work without sending...

After sitting down, Wang Kai hesitated and asked, "Zhou, is there anything you want to explain when you come to us?"

Zhou Yue asked back: "Do you know the "Bubble Hall" that has been quite popular recently?"

Wang Kai said: "I know, I have played this game for a while. I have ideas and it's interesting."

Zhou Yue nodded slightly and asked bluntly: "Then you think we learn from the core gameplay of "Bubble Hall" and then develop a similar game ourselves. How long will it take to complete?"

Wang Kai was surprised: "Zhou, aren't we already developing "Leaf Play"?"

The game "Leaf Play" is a product that Fengsu Mutual Entertainment draws on the most popular card mobile games on the market. If this game fails, Fengsu can basically be said to be weak.

Originally, there was only one project team left in the front speed. Some time ago, several generals were poached by the Shinhwa Network. Now people are stretched, and it is really difficult for Zhou Yue to let Wang Kai develop a new game.

Zhou Yue said with a sullen face: "I ask if you can make it!"

Wang Kai was stunned and immediately replied: "The core gameplay of "Bubble Hall" is very simple. It is very simple for us to imitate a similar game. It can be launched within a month or two with sufficient staff."

Zhou Yue's expression softened a little: "That's okay, you first select a few people from the project team to set up a new game project, and when the "Leaf Play" is over, you can transfer the staff to complete the game, do you understand? ?"

Wang Kai said with a bitter face: "Understood, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Yue patted Wang Kai on the shoulder: "Don't be so frowning, I believe Feng Speed ​​will definitely get better again. At that time, I will let you be the director of the game business department."

Wang Kai didn’t believe Zhou Yue’s promise at all. Zhou Yue had tossed at the front for four years, and a second-rate game company fell all the way to the brink of bankruptcy. If he had a little ability, it wouldn’t be what it is today. Yeah!

Wang Kai complained in his heart, indicating that there is still nothing abnormal, and asked for instructions: "Zhou, if there is nothing wrong, then I will go back first."

"Not busy, not busy," Zhou Yue grabbed Wang Kai, "There is nothing right now, Lao Wang, do you have any ideas about imitating "Bubble Hall"?"

Wang Kai shouted desperately in his heart: "Here again! You Zhou Yue didn't understand the fart of the game, but you still like to do some micro exercises. When it's over, the game's fate can be predicted before the project is established. I hate it. Micro manipulation!"

The real master of micro-management, Zhou Yue!

"Zhou, I will go back and have a brainstorm with my colleagues in the project team, and then ask Mr. Zhou for advice after I have a specific plan." After all, Wang Kai holds Feng Su's salary, no matter how dissatisfied in his heart is. Expressing it is just a tactful reminder.

Zhou Yue excitedly said: "Pharaoh, I have an idea about this new project of ours. You can go back and study after you listen to it."

Wang Kai said weakly, "I don't know if Zhou always has any ideas?"

Zhou Yuedao: "The core gameplay of "Bubble Hall" is to spit bubbles. Our game definitely cannot copy this directly. I think it can be designed so that players use slingshots to shoot marbles with each other, and the marbles will explode after landing. Players and props are blown up. We can sell different styles of slingshots in the mall in the game. We also sell some better marbles in the mall. I think it's still a bit tricky, what do you think, Pharaoh?"

Wang Kai was just a fool to listen. After listening, he felt that Zhou Yue's idea was quite good. Then he said: "Zhou is really a wizard. If you come to be a game designer, you will definitely be the world's best. Of the game designer."

Zhou Yue laughed loudly: "I don't dare to be it, I just slap my tongue occasionally. You have to come to the game to play the game. By the way, I have already figured out the name of this new game."

Wang Kai asked: "What's the name Zhou always think of?"

Zhou Yue: ""Dang Dan Tang"! Is this name still a success?"
