Chapter 589: A New Game of Unexpected Joy
Beverly Hills, Hollywood.
Andy sat at the dining table, eating breakfast, while looking at the newspaper on the table, the news on the financial page, it can be said that there is a lot of sorrow, all of them are hindsight doing all kinds of analysis and condemnation.
"I read the report that you're making money again?"
The Emperor Sai, who was sitting next to him, was eating her nutritious meal and asked a little lazily.
"Well, it's been laid out for a long time, but it's not as exaggerated as the newspapers say. Andy closed the newspaper and chuckled.
"Is this economic crisis really going to sweep the world?" Charlize has been in the dark during this time, often snuggling up at home, and getting a lot of information from TV and newspapers.
"Inevitably, in a few days the central banks will come to the rescue of the market, and now Wall Street has become a Shura field where big fish eat small fish, wolves eat elephants, capital tends to profit, and crisis is also an opportunity. Andy was smiling because there was so much good news today.
According to Bear Stearns, the U.S. credit market is in the worst state in 20 years;
The European and American stock markets, which have already opened, have plummeted across the board, and Warren Spector, president of Bear Stearns, the fifth-largest investment bank in the United States, has resigned.
Bear Stearns is his focus on shorting, the more it falls, the more he earns, even with a circuit breaker protection mechanism, it still can't stop the general trend.
Charlize asked, a little worried, "Don't you need to go back to New York?"
Andy smiled and shook his head, "No, it's all planned, it's enough to have a think tank and my investment company in New York, it's useless for me to go back, it's better to stay away from the storm whirlpool, you don't need to think about these things, just take care of yourself." β
Charlize gave him a blank look, snatched the sandwich from Andy's plate, and took a big bite, "My stomach is getting more and more obvious, and I won't be able to hide it in more than a month, and the Australian side should be almost cleaned up, I'm going to move over, and also, to promote the "Golden Compass", I will have a few more shows before the movie is released, at least it won't be so abruptly missing, causing the media to question, just say that I want to take a break for a while." β
"Well, after a while, I'll ask Joseph to take someone to Australia, get the security facilities and personnel in order, I'm going to fly to San Francisco in the morning, where a few IT companies have to deal with things, and I'll be back in a short time, and I'll be with you when I come back. Andy reached out and grabbed the Emperor's little hand and said apologetically.
Because Ivana has been with him in Los Angeles for a few days, it has disrupted many of Andy's arrangements, and on August 7, he needs to meet with his coach and fly to Thailand to participate in the Universiade together, which means that he will fly to San Francisco today, and he will fly back tomorrow afternoon, and he can accompany the emperor for one night.
You must know that there is also a little assistant who has been lit up, leaving from the villa of the emperor, getting into the car and removing the disguise, and then going to pick up the little assistant and rush to the airport together.
"You don't have to look at me like that, I'll feed you little SAO when I get to San Francisco!" Andy said as he pinched her chin as he saw Torry Black looking at him with a grudge in his eyes.
"I've bought a few new sets of NEI clothes, and I'll show you when the time comes... β
Andy looked at the little assistant whose eyes became radiant and showed a MEI smile on his pretty face, and he was also speechless.
San Francisco, Mockingjay Games, Inc.
Today's game companies are not what they used to be, although they are still two old buildings with a bit of a broken wall, but many people now know how awesome this game company is with the badge pattern of a bird flapping its wings in a ring of flames.
"Minecraft", "Plants vs. Zombies", "Fruit Swordsman", "Happy Farm" The four most popular games all come from these two inconspicuous buildings, and it is rumored that Andy's company is making millions a day with only these games, although it is an exaggeration, but it is enough to show how profitable the current mockingjay game company is.
Andy looked at the two more development teams and many new faces in the conference room, and was very happy, now the game company has begun to develop games on his own, and it is no longer just waiting for him, the big boss, to use his brain to think creatively.
"I love the idea of these two new games, Blair has done a great job, and welcome to our family, new colleagues, and believe me, we are witnessing the growth of a great company. β
Andy finished reading the two new game plans in his hand, with a happy smile on his face, which can be said to be an unexpected joy, and it can also be seen that his CEO is really working hard.
Although the creativity in his mind is enough for him to allow the company to continue to launch new games, there is no need to worry about the lack of creative exhaustion, the company encounters bottlenecks and other problems, but he is still very concerned about the company's ability to develop game projects by itself, which shows that the company has been on the track of rapid development, he is originally a programming ape, and knows very well that making games is a teamwork work, relying on the strength of one person, the value created is limited after all.
"Both Extreme Skiing and Super Monkey Ball make use of the iPhone's gravity-sensing system, full touchscreen operation, and the concept of Temple Run, which we are currently developing, so when I received the idea of these two ideas, I decided to set up a development team. And Apple also wanted us to develop a new game based on the gravity sensing system of the crazy phone. β
Blair is very satisfied with his current job, his CEO is also well deserved, the big boss on the top of his head really made him let go of it, give full play to his talents, with the more and more successful Mockingbird Games company, he is also famous in the game industry, IT industry, newspapers, magazines, TV and other media interviews are also invited, so how important it is for a professional manager like him to meet a good boss.
"Boss, although this game is a sports game, the form of the game itself is closer to a refreshing leisure and entertainment game than a relatively realistic sports game. The whole game is fast-paced and the gameplay is fancy and fun.
It has a good drift effect,Excellent operating feel,Plus beautiful music,The game screen from the technical xing,Simple picture quality only requires general,Mainly in terms of art,The picture of this game should be very beautiful,Bright colors,Distinct tones,The image of the characters should be rich,The performance of different weather such as cloudy days and nights should be excellent,So the excellence of the art will make up for the lack of technical special effects of the picture,The overall look will make players pleasing to the eye,This can reduce the cost to the minimum,The development cycle of the game will be shorterγ β
The leader of the development team of the game Extreme Skiing is also the creator of this game, as an old employee of Mockingjay Games, he admires his big boss very much, in fact, he was in charge of the development of a sports game when Andy did not buy this company, and was an important member of the development team of "Minecraft" in the past, and gave "Temple Run" some time ago With the help of the development team, after a short trial of the game, he came up with the idea of this game, made a business plan, and handed it over to the CEO, but he didn't expect the project to be approved on the same day.
"Hehe, although the cost should be controlled, it can't be too saving, especially the background music, since it's hot, then find some heavy metal music, be sure to let players feel excited when they hear the background music, and sound effects, vocal dubbing will undoubtedly make the game characters distinct, so that players have a sense of cinema, and the sound texture of objects is also very important.
Then there is the system, the scoring system and the stunt system, since it is an extreme sport, all kinds of fancy flips, all kinds of tricks must be easy to operate, but it is difficult to make combos and high scores.
You've played the arcade machine, and the gravity sensor system adjusts the center of gravity of the game character's body, and adds arrow keys that allow players to use the arrow keys to make moves. β
Andy has played a game of this kind before, so he is no stranger to it, and he did not hesitate to say some ideas to make this game better, and at the same time, he also allowed himself to add a touch of the copyright to this game.
This is not Andy's fight with his subordinates, but the importance of copyright, after all, the IT industry is a high-risk industry that jumps jobs and quits to work alone, Andy has to guard against it, okay, even if he is a little cautious.
The saying that businessman = hurts people Andy still agrees very much, how can he achieve his own success without hurting others.
