Chapter Sixty-Nine: Where to Go in the West Mountain (Part II)
"I heard that there is another game under development here in Xishan Residence, is it the legendary 'Legend of the Xishan Swordsman'?" After getting acquainted with the employees of Xishanju, Li Haoyu asked half-jokingly.
The corners of Guo Weiwei's mouth twitched, and he said: "The Legend of the Swordsman of Xishan is indeed a game that we are still developing, but it has also been 80% completed, and it should be able to start testing in a few months." β
The young man who asked the question just now said: "Now in Xishan Residence, in addition to the Sword Three and Nine Heavens Myth that are in operation, there is only this Xishan Swordsman Legend that is being developed, and many of us have nothing to do at the moment." β
Li Haoyu said suspiciously: "Didn't I say that the copyrights of other games except Jian San belong to Jinshan, how can there be a Nine Heavens Myth that is operated by Xishanju?" "It's okay if the Legend of the Swordsman of Xishan, which is still in development, is too unclear whether Jinshan refuses to want this game called the Nine Heavens Myth or what the reason is.
Guo Weiwei spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Haoyu, what do you say about the game Nine Heavens Myth, since we opened the beta at the end of last year, it has been almost five months, but the monthly profit can barely maintain operations, and there is no money at all, so Jinshan still threw this mess to us." After all, we have worked so hard to develop the myth of the Nine Heavens for so long, and there are still many players playing, we can't bear to shut down all of a sudden, so we can only barely maintain it. β
Li Haoyu frowned and said, "Kris, you take me to the department that runs the Nine Heavens Myth, and I'll go see what this game is all about." "The game Nine Days Myth was occasionally heard of a few years ago.,I haven't heard much about the game since then.,I didn't expect it's been in public beta for almost half a year.,Xishanju really doesn't seem to be good at advertising!
The young man who asked the question just now immediately said: "Dong Li, I'll take you there, I'm the person in charge of operating the Nine Heavens Myth." β
Guo Weiwei said on the side: "Haoyu, his name is Zuo Jianming, he has been in charge of this game since the development of the Nine Heavens Myth, and his skills are still very good." Okay, there's nothing you need to do here, just do whatever you have to do. His last words were addressed to the many staff members around them, who were obviously very prestigious, and as soon as they had finished speaking, the staff went back to their posts.
Li Haoyu nodded quietly, and followed Zuo Jianming and Guo Weiwei to the fifth floor of the Jinshan headquarters building, from the fourth floor to the eighth floor, Xishan Residence is in use, and the fifth and sixth floors are where various games are operated. Now that most of the games have been handed over to Jinshan, many places on these two floors have been vacant and come to a large office, where more than a dozen white-collar women of different ages are busy in front of their respective computers, and it seems that they should all be customer service. Seeing Guo Weiwei and Zuo Jianming coming over with Li Haoyu, they all smiled in unison, and the two younger girls were still smiling and kissing them, not embarrassed at all.
When he arrived in Zuo Jianming's office, he turned on his computer, ran the client of the Nine Heavens Myth, entered an account password and said, "Li Dong, you can try the game of the Nine Heavens Myth first." β
Li Haoyu is not polite, he sat down directly and started playing the game, the login interface of the game Nine Heavens Myth is still relatively good-looking, and the female characters are also cute, compared to the male characters, they are a little unbearable to look at directly.
Even if the game is aimed at female players, the contrast between male and female characters should not be so big!
In line with the principle of eye-catching, Li Haoyu chose a female character to enter the game, and he was taken aback as soon as he entered the game.
Is this really a game that only opened in beta at the end of 2013?
Except for some cartoon graphics, the whole game is basically the same as the game three or four years ago, and the gameplay is basically the same as other mainstream games, so I can't see any highlights. The task mode is to keep running the ring.,Plus there's automatic pathfinding.,At the beginning, you can upgrade to a dozen levels with a click of the mouse.,Fortunately, any later ones are a little funny.,It's not too dull.γ The battle mode is similar to the Fantasy Journey to the West N years ago, except for some more gorgeous colors, and there are no innovations in entertainment methods such as guessing boxing, running, and shaking dice with opponents during battles.
Li Haoyu finally understood,The Nine Heavens Myth game has been operating for so long to make profits that can barely maintain operations,In today's increasingly severe homogenization of turn-based games, this game without much bright spot will soon be lost to everyone,Plus does Xishanju have any advertising for this game,Can barely maintain the operation, that is, players continue to play because of the big brand of Xishanjuγ
"Kris, Jianming, I have a proposal to shut down this game. Give players a certain amount of financial compensation, for example, you can compensate players for a certain amount of Kingsoft Card, the amount of which you decide. Li Haoyu put down the mouse and let out a long breath.
Zuo Jianming looked excited, bit his lip and said, "Dong Li, I have spent too much effort on this game, can you let it continue to operate." β
Guo Weiwei understood Zuo Jianming's thoughts, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Jianming, Li Dong is just making a suggestion, but it is really unflattering for the Nine Heavens Myth to continue to operate so tepidly, if you can't improve the dilemma of no profit as soon as possible, you'd better be mentally prepared." β
Li Haoyu looked at Zuo Jianming, whose eyes were full of mist and his fists were clenched tightly, his heart suddenly softened, and said, "Jianming, let's do this, think about how to improve the operation of the Nine Heavens Myth yourself." I'll give you a million, you can advertise or anything, if the million is spent and the Nine Heavens Myth is still the same, then you can turn it off yourself. β
Zuo Jianming said excitedly: "Dong Li, thank you for your trust, if I have this fund, I can't improve the operation of the Nine Heavens Myth, I will come to see you!" β
Li Haoyu found that Zuo Jianming was still quite cute, and said with a smile: "Jianming, I don't need you to raise your head to see you, your head is still well placed on your neck to continue to develop the next game." β
Walking out of the fifth floor, Guo Weiwei said with a smile: "Haoyu, Jianming is such a stubborn person, don't be like him." β
Li Haoyu shook his head and said: "Kris, I didn't blame him, but I think he is very interesting, as long as there are more people like him in our company, why can't we become the No. 1 game company in China!" β
Guo Weiwei said with emotion: "That being said, but if you don't have sufficient funds and advanced concepts, no matter how capable you are, you can't make any good games." Jianming's skills are speechless, but he and his team haven't only developed the Nine Heavens Myth, a game with no features? β
Coming to the seventh floor, this floor is the development site of the Legend of the Swordsman of Xishan, thirty-four people are constantly tapping on the keyboard in front of the computer, a busy scene, and they didn't even see Guo Weiwei and Li Haoyu coming.
Guo Weiwei took Li Haoyu to a sloppily dressed young man, his hair was messy like a chicken coop, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he hadn't slept well for several days. At the moment he was engrossed in staring at the computer screen, on which a rough game was running, the character modeling had been roughly made, more exquisite, and the map was still very rough, and he could barely see the forest and the road clearly.
"Keiko! Look who's coming! Guo Weiwei walked over and knocked on the table, saying in a mocking tone.
The young man named Qingzi didn't raise his head, and said impatiently: "Lao Guo, what are you doing here, don't bother me if you have nothing to do!" β
Guo Weiwei said helplessly to Li Haoyu: "Haoyu, this guy's name is Xu Qing, we all call him Qingzi, he is the current producer of the Legend of Xishan Swordsman." β
Xu Qing raised his head at this time, revealing a sloppy beard, he looked like he was already thirty years old, and looked at Li Haoyu suspiciously: "Old Guo, who is this guy?" β
Guo Weiwei sighed and said: "Qingzi, I really don't know how Lu Dao said hello, this is the big boss of our Xishan Residence, I remember that you went to that press conference a few days ago, how could you not be impressed?" β
Xu Qing suddenly realized, and said embarrassedly: "It turns out that you are Li Dong, I'm sorry, I haven't slept well in the past two days, my eyes are not good, and I didn't recognize you." β
Li Haoyu didn't mind this at all, but looked at the game running on Xu Qing's computer screen with interest and said, "This game is the Legend of the Swordsman of Xishan?" β
Xu Qing was immediately tickled, and introduced himself smugly: "Yes, this is the Legend of the Xishan Swordsman, we use the engine of Sword Three in this game, but it is a Xianxia game." It's not that I said, this game is definitely much better than Lao Guo's sword three, Chen Feizhou was full of praise when he came over before! β
"It's already running, so can I try it out?" Li Haoyu's heart suddenly moved, and he wanted to play this game that he had been making a few years ago.
Xu Qing stood up and gave up his position and said, "Of course you can, Dong Li, you should also be a professional, and you can give us advice by the way." β
"I'm just a layman about making games, so I don't have any opinions." Li Haoyu sat down, and after playing for a while, he felt that something was wrong, and asked suspiciously: "This game is not an MMORPG?" It seems a bit like competitive games like DOTA and LOL! β
Xu Qing said embarrassedly: "This game has actually been repositioned as a MOBA, and the product code name has also become "Six Realms" because it has become a mythological theme, and Zou Tao, CEO of CJ Shangjinshan last year, has already announced this. β
