Chapter 245: A multi-pronged approach
In fact, when Ma Xiaoyi asked what he said just now, he already regretted it.
It is estimated that he has been on it for a long time, and Ma Xiaoyi no longer remembers the cautious and trembling mentality when he first entered the Penguin network.
Yes, the dividends that were heavier than the sky at that time have unconsciously become an amount that can only be described by the measure word 'a little'.
"Well, it's true, a company that is on the rise, and it is also a core member, it is indeed not easy to choose to leave at such a time. β
Ma Xiaoyi nodded, acknowledging Wang Bo's judgment, and then asked another question: "You also mentioned in the plan that if we fail to get the right to operate the Android platform of "Dota Legends", then the next move is to ...... it Imitation?"
The so-called 'imitation' in the game industry, in fact, to put it bluntly, is to reverse analyze a game that has been launched by other companies, and parse the core modules of the other party, such as data tables, program code, art resources, etc., through manual or technical means, so as to imitate.
This method is actually not a new thing, as early as the era of mobile games are still in the era of snakes, there have been people by changing the suffix file type of the game installation file, so as to achieve the purpose of decompression.
It's just that the means at that time were still very rudimentary, and after the mobile phone operating system entered the era of Android and IOS, games that could be reversely decoded by technical means have basically disappeared from the market.
Moreover, even if these few games can be decoded by technical means, its various configuration files will use some kind of encoding method for secondary encryption, so generally speaking, at this stage, if you want to 'parse' the data structure of a game, most of them still rely on pure manual recording.
Before Wang Bo came in, he naturally knew the content of the plan he wrote, and now that Ma Xiaoyi asked, he could also talk about it in a targeted manner.
"The core content of a game like "Dota Legend" is naturally its combat logic code and numerical model framework, the combat logic code is the work of the program, I don't have a deep understanding of this aspect, so it's not easy to make any estimates, but the numerical model framework, in the eyes of our game planners, as long as there are enough records and data, reverse deduction is not a very difficult thing. β
"Lilith Technology may not have that much manpower, but it is not too difficult for us at Penguin to mobilize enough human resources. β
I understand, what Wang Bo means is nothing more than to mobilize enough game testers, play the game "Dota Legend" day and night, and gnaw this bone down through crowd tactics.
β¦β¦ As for the front-line game testers, will they complain about this?
Please, the founder of Ahri once said: "I personally think that being able to do 996 is a great blessing, and many companies and many people don't have a chance to do 996." β
"If you weren't 996 when you were younger, when can you be 996?"
"You don't have 996 in your life, do you think you're very proud?"
So, Sao Nian, for dreams, for blood, 996......
β¦β¦
"Very well, in such a short period of time, you can hand over such a plan, and it seems that you are indeed fully prepared. Ma Xiaoyi nodded and put the folder in his hand back on the desk, "You don't have to worry about the Android platform agent of "Dota Legend", I will ask my colleagues from the Ministry of Commerce to continue to follow up." β
"I will also hand over the game data recording to the head of the testing department to mobilize human resources in the shortest possible time, and now you need to be responsible for two problems. β
"Mr. Ma, you said. β
Although Wang Bo, as the creator of this plan, as long as this plan is implemented, he will naturally be able to share the credit from it, but if Ma Xiaoyi puts this plan again...... Uh, no, now that Ma Xiaoyi has approved it, this thing can be called a plan.
If Wang Bo can become the person in charge of this plan, his credit will naturally be even greater.
"First of all, I contacted Wang Xinwen. According to the usual practice, if the core members of the team like him leave, they will generally sign the corresponding non-compete agreement, and I don't want to settle the truth at such a time, so your contact with Wang Xinwen can only be carried out in a private way. β
"That's fine, I understand. β
Wang Bo himself has signed a non-compete agreement, so he naturally understands the truth.
This kind of thing, the larger the company, the more suspicious it is.
Although Wang Bo doesn't think Lilith Technology will have the courage to sue Penguin.com, there should be no pressure on Wang Xinwen.
Penguin.com has developed to the present, and if someone is sued in court for digging up a Wang Xinwen, wouldn't it make people in the industry laugh?
"The second is the problem of 'imitation' of the game that you mentioned in the plan. β
"As far as I know, the company currently has five centers from J1 to J5, as well as three centers of TiMi T1, T2 and T3, and I always feel that it is too wasteful to scatter so many R&D centers, so the next step is to integrate these departments and set up a studio group with the name of TiMi......"
"Well, Mr. Ma, there's also a Wolong studio. β
"What?" Ma Xiaoyi didn't hear clearly. "Wolong Studio?
"Mr. Ma, maybe you don't know very well, in addition to the studios and R&D centers you mentioned before, our company also has a branch R&D institution called Wolong Studio in Shudu, Shudi. β
"Really, how could I not know about this?"
"The studio has been working on a DOTA-like game called Heroes of War since last year, but it has been relatively low-key because the system and values of this game are relatively complex, and it is still in the development stage......
Hearing this, Ma Xiaoyi understood what was going on.
Where is this 'low-key', it is clear that this team called Wolong Studio, the research and development work has been carried out for almost a year without progress, and the game is far away, so there has been no sense of existence.
The mobile game module of the entire penguin network,It has always been adhering to the Q version,Cute painting style,Relaxed and happy game atmosphere,What is this Wolong Studio,Actually came up with a 'DOTA-like' gameγ
Ma Xiaoyi couldn't imagine how to play a Dota game that needs to see clearly to grasp the enemy's movements on a screen as big as a mobile game......
"How much money has the company invested in this studio so far?"
"Because they only joined the company last year, and the number of people is not too many, so so far, the amount of the company's allocation is about 12 million yuan. β
"For this kind of studio team that can't create benefits for the company, I really don't know why you are still here!"
"Inform them as soon as possible that the company expects to end its cooperation with the studio next month. I hope they can have a better development in the future. β
"That'...... Mr. Ma, what do you do with all the data of the project they are developing?"
"You can negotiate with interested companies in the industry, and if you can find a buyer, you can transfer this part of the project data completely, and if you can't find a buyer, then all the data will be sealed. β
"Understood, Mr. Ma, I'll arrange it right away. β
PS: Five minutes later, the second chapter was released.
