Chapter 1351: My Legend Doesn't End There!

"Marvel Infinite", to a large extent, Andy is a game that borrows some characteristics of the game "Grand Theft Auto", under the open world map, it integrates elements of driving, gunfight, fighting, yang and even management, and features superhero superpowers.

Andy, who has read a lot of infinite online articles, naturally knows how to improve the playability of this game, and in terms of game settings, in each game, players will be allowed to act as intruders, through special subways and airplanes, and send 100 players into the Marvel world scene, with random hot weapons and props, do tasks, fight and divide the winners and losers, and get rewards.

Maybe in the end, after the players have become superheroes, the steel suits will fly all over the sky, a hundred Hulks will tear down the city, and fifty Captain America and fifty Winter Soldiers will fight each other, tsk, the picture will be beautiful!

Everyone in the conference room of Mockingjay Games understands that this game is a new work that their big boss attaches great importance to, and after discussion, everyone also found that this game is very interesting, no one is a fool, they are all elites in the industry, and they naturally understand that once this game is listed, it can make extremely rich profits.

And everyone also knows that their company's dividends to the development team are also very attractive, looking at the current "Minecraft", "Angry Birds" and "Zombie" three development team members, it is simply a lot of money.

In Mockingjay Games, every programmer hopes that the game in his hand can sell well, and then live a good life of driving a sports car and living in a mansion, so the development rights of this "Marvel Infinite" have become the hottest target to compete for.

Andy looked at his group of subordinates, staring at him with burning eyes, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

"Forget the team with the project in hand, this game will develop the PC version first, and because it involves copyright issues, it needs to be authorized from the Marvel Group, and in a cooperative way, you need to give the Marvel Group some shares... ”

With Andy's explanation, the emotions of everyone in the conference room slowly calmed down, especially those groups with game projects in their hands, they knew that they were out of play.

"I'll leave this matter to you, Blair. ”

Hearing the words of the big boss, Blair, as the CEO, nodded with a smile and replied: "No problem, boss, I will gather people to form a development team as soon as possible to start this project." ”

"Well, that's fine, our decision to invest in our own 3D engine was definitely the right step. "Andy is very relieved that there is no need to limit the development of games because of the 3D engine, and a game company really has no future if it doesn't have its own technical features.

"The development of the 2nd generation game engine should not be left behind, the picture should be made more delicate, and the game screen should give people the most direct intuitive feeling, such as the texture of leaves and grass, the texture of various guns, the BO pattern of the water surface, the conversion of distant and close scenes, the special effects of light and shadow, and the interaction between characters and scenes, etc., should be pursued, more rich and delicate, more in line with the perception of the human eye, and more realistic. In this way, the player's sense of substitution will be stronger. ”

Hearing the suggestions and requirements put forward by the big boss, the person in charge of the development of the 3D game engine nodded with a serious expression, they are engine engineers, that is to sincerely admire the courage and excellent vision of the big boss, since the popularity of professional commercial engines, except for a few old game companies, no company will invest a lot of manpower to develop exclusive game engines, all spend some money to buy ready-made commercial engines to develop games.

This can save a lot of money, but in the same way, it also restricts the development of game companies, there are no characteristics, and some even sacrifice the image quality to ensure the smooth running of the program, and the design mode of the commercial engine is relatively monotonous and concise, and most of the games made are similar.

A meeting lasted for more than two hours, not only to listen to the recent situation of each project team, but also to have a more comprehensive understanding of the operation of the mocking bird company.

The development and listing of a game is a hot sale, and no one doubts that the big boss's plan will be unsuccessful, after all, the games planned by the big boss are all classics, and they are all money-making weapons!

At the end of the meeting, Andy did not stay in the game company for long, but under the guidance of Blair, he took a car to the construction site of the new headquarters building of Mockingjay Games Company, which had begun construction.

Although there is nothing to see on the current construction site, and it is dusty, however, Andy stands in front of the design renderings of the headquarters, looking at the very distinctive, impressive pixel building, the mood is still very good, as a company developed from his own hands, or the first to start building his own headquarters building, mocking bird games company is undoubtedly his most valued high-quality assets, no wonder if he doesn't care!

After a round around the construction site, Andy left the construction site satisfied. At noon, after a sumptuous working meal with Mockingjao Games, the main person in charge of the Liberty City app store, Andy rushed to the headquarters of Tribune Press Group at 2:30 p.m. with his assistant and the negotiation team in charge of the acquisition of the Los Angeles Times.

On the rostrum illuminated by the flashing lights, Andy indifferently took the incomparably extravagant pen and signed his name on the document, while the publisher of the Los Angeles Times, CEO Eddie, who had been standing in the crowd on the side of the press conference, although his face was serious and indifferent, but the slightly trembling fists and the excitement in his eyes still betrayed how excited he was at this moment, and at the same time he breathed a long sigh of relief.

The Los Angeles Times, from top to bottom, in order to find a good way out, forced the parent company to make a choice in the form of a general strike, which is undoubtedly a great risk, to be honest, as a professional manager, Eddie's behavior is undoubtedly a betrayal, countering his parent company, whether successful or not, will bring an indelible stain to his resume and career.

Thinking of the previous meeting with Andy Smith, who is about to take over the new boss of the Los Angeles Times, the other party's meaningful gaze, lukewarm expression and tone, and at the same time the heart is shrouded in haze, it is also extremely bitter.

"Don't worry, it's okay, I'm sure Mr. Smith will understand, after all, we have no choice but to do so. ”

Hearing the subtle words of comfort, Eddie turned his head to look at John, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper next to him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Our new boss... Hey, so far, it's useless to say anything, hope... ”

Editor-in-chief John didn't hear Eddie's words of hope, because the press conference was already filled with warm applause, flashing lights lit up the entire podium, Andy Smith shook hands with the chairman of Tribune Group with a faint smile, exchanged the deal contract in his hand, and then shook hands and turned to face the press gallery for a group photo.

"The 128-year-old Los Angeles Times has changed hands again, where should it go? What does it mean for the American newspaper industry, and indeed the global newspaper industry?

Will the LA Times still be worth the next time it's sold?"

Andy sat on the rostrum, with an indifferent expression, calmly facing the eyes of many reporters in the audience, and said a series of questions, which made the originally noisy scene quiet.

"Some people say that my constant acquisition of newspapers is like going back a hundred years, when a small number of wealthy people controlled influential media. Andy finally had a smile on his face, shook his head with a smile and continued: "Maybe, but unfortunately, holding a newspaper now does not bring great returns. From the moment I decided to buy newspapers, I knew that the newspaper industry would not be as profitable today as it was a few decades ago. Margins are low now, and they will get lower and lower. ”

The scene became unusually quiet, and every reporter looked at Andy Smith, who seemed to be laughing at himself, shaking his head and laughing, and listened carefully to him continue to speak: "We need newspapers, we need honest intellectuals, and we need writers and editors who are passionate about this work."

At this juncture, I want to say to my Los Angeles Times employees that the predicament that has been in place since 2000 begins and ends today, and I will make sure you have the tools and resources to produce the high-quality journalism that your readers need and rely on. Our legend doesn't stop there, our new one is beginning!"
