Ten years ago, the stand-alone game manufacturer A was almost unstoppable.

With just one game, it has become the third largest game manufacturer in the world.

The production of gun shooter games, the DOC series is popular in almost every country.

However, the president, Mr. Lu Qiao, suddenly chose to develop a board game with feelings.

Dungeons and dragons are on the agenda of Company A.

Ten years of sharpening a sword, finally released recently.

Complex gameplay, huge worldview.

The difficulty of almost perverted, and the strategy that can only be roughly explained by the thickness of the two Xinhua dictionaries.

Dungeons & Dragons broke a new record for the world's difficulty, but it also became the hardest game in the world to get started.

Even some veteran DND game fans can't help but shake their heads when they play Dungeons & Dragons.

Various media outlets gave a negative rating of about 2.1 points, and none of them could exceed 3 points.

In the first month, Dungeons & Dragons sold less than two million units.

Ten years cost 300 million, and in the end there was no return.

Yesterday, the single-player game giant A was forced to sell its largest headquarters in country C.

The money is used to pay off debts owed and employee salaries.

At this time, on the outskirts of the sea, a house with a sea view.

This is a sea-view villa that was rented by Company A 10 years ago to celebrate the success of DOC.

Because the minimum lease is 15 years, there are still five years of access to it.

This has become the last headquarters of Company A, and at this time, there are only five employees plus Luqiao.

。。。。。。

By the way, I'm Luqiao.

"Aren't they stupid for such a fun game?" I said, nibbling on my apple and clicking on my computer.

"Boss, it's really not fun. The man with glasses said with a wry smile.

"You're telling you the truth? Didn't you say it was a good game during the test? I said, playing Dungeons & Dragons on the computer screen.

"I'm just an art director, and I've only played in teaching mode. Who would have thought that it would be so difficult after teaching?" said the man with the eyes helplessly.

"Difficult? Have you ever played DND? Isn't this an introduction already explaining the whole game, but it just makes the teaching a little more complicated. I said.

"I think we've piled up too much stuff, and it would be better to split it up than it is now. The fat man whispered beside him.

"Isn't it fun to go around?" I looked at the crowd.

Everyone nodded slightly.

"Did we really fail? I think it's pretty good. Look at the quality of the game, look at the connotation of the game. I poked my finger at the computer monitor.

"Boss, lighten up. The computer is mine, and the game has always been too niche. The thin man said as he moved the computer monitor backwards.

"Yours, wait, what about the company's equipment, is there anything left?" I said again.

"No, when the building was sealed. The equipment has also been mortgaged, and the only two computers here are now our own. The thin man said again.

"Is the accountant still there? How many years does this villa have to be rented? I remember that when I rented it, I said that it would be rented for at least 15 years. I said again.

"At that time, it was rented in your name, and this is not considered a company asset, so it is kept. There are five more years, but we don't have any other funds. Accountant Xiaomei said.

"In five years, we have made a comeback. First of all, I owe each of you five years' wages, and then I will double it for you. Who wants to keep working with me?" I said.

"I think I need to say something else about this matter, and what I want to ask is what to turn over. The eyed man said.

"Isn't there still a DOC? The shootout game is easy to do, so let's just release a sequel. I said.

"Boss, we sold the rights to DOC four years ago. People B are out of DOC13, and we have no copyright. Xiaomei said.

"Sold? It's a big deal for us to make a similar one, change the name and continue, I don't believe we can make a second DOC. I said.

"But we even sold the engine. If you want to do it, you need to redo the engine. Five years of engine plus game,Five people are afraid.。。。 The fat man said again and again.

"What fool sold it? Doesn't I have to sign for this kind of thing, why did I sign it then?" I said.

The crowd held out their fingers and said, "It's you." ”

Xiaomei then said: "It's you yourself because of the company's poor turnover, and you don't listen to the persuasion of other high-level executives." Just sell it to solve your urgent needs, have you forgotten?"

"Eh, let's put this thing aside for a moment. So, what do we have left?" I said helplessly.

Xiaomei looked around and said: "A five-year sea view room, four employees who will leave at any time, and two employees' personal computers, it should be all there is." ”

"Wait, did I cause this?" I said.

The crowd nodded their heads and did not dare to speak.

"So what else can we do? I said, waving my hand.

"I think it's better to take on other companies' games. Be a little brother for five years and make some money. We have programmers, artists, accountants, and planners here, and it shouldn't be difficult. The thin man said.

"I think it's better to just make a game. The little game is good, step by step. Didn't we start with a mini-game, a DOC turned over?" said the fat man with a little lack of confidence.

"It used to be, there were only a few game companies. Now there are more game companies than dogs, and mini-games can't get out without the replayability of the sky. The eyed man said.

"Actually, I think mobile games are pretty good. Xiaomei said.

There was a moment of silence, and the crowd stopped talking.

I said, "So it's decided? Mobile game? Wait, little Zhuangzhuang." We're having such a lively discussion, what are you doing on the sidelines? ”

At this time, a strong man in the corner was playing something, turned his head and said, "This, I raised it in the office." It's called an ant nest, and it's about keeping ants in a box. ”

"Why hasn't this been seized and confiscated? You come over and give me a meeting. I said.

The strong man picked up the ant nest and walked over and said, "Because this is my own thing, why was it seized." I didn't take care of them before, but they're growing pretty well now. If it wasn't for moving out this time, I would have almost forgotten about them. ”

"Wait, what are you talking about?" I asked, with a jolt in my mind.

"If I didn't move out this time, I would have forgotten about them. The strong man said.

"No, no, no, the previous sentence. I said again.

"I didn't take much care of them before, and they are growing well now?" said the strong man, puzzled.

"Isn't this just a cultivation game?

Everyone was stunned for a few seconds, and their eyes widened.

"Boss, do you want to raise ants with your phone?" said the fat man.

"This development game seems to have a gimmick, but it's boring. If you're just raising ants, it's better to have a dress-up game. The thin man thought for a moment and said.

"Of course there's something else, and this game is called Ant War. Mobile games, this moment starts, so the process has to go through my hands before it can be executed. I said with a smile.

"War?" Xiaomei said puzzled.

I snatched the ant nest in the strong man's hand and said, "Raise ants in your mobile phone, and take them out when you grow stronger." As soon as the two cages docked, they began to fight, and the whole computer simulated the battle. Players can't intervene, and at most they can fine-tune some stats before the battle begins. The winning side is ranked and the losing side is lowered. But whether you win or lose, the lost forces will take time or money to repair. What do you think?"

"Oh my God, isn't this a game of money to create happiness?" said the thin man.

"I think it's okay. The fat man said.

"It's a bit disgusting if it's a real ant fight, but it's an ant battle with numbers in the phone. I think so, it's going to be a little interesting. Xiaomei said.

"The only girl here finds it interesting, and I'm sure I agree. The eyed man said.

"Boss, can you give me back the ants first?" said the strong man embarrassedly.
