Chapter 161: The Heart of the Castle

Speaking of Zhang Danmiao, a young friend who has not seen her for several months, she came to Birmingham when Chen Peng and Pan Luyao were on vacation in the Canary Islands, and when Chen Peng came back, she just gave him a big surprise.

In Zhang Danmiao's own words, it was that she happened to return to China for a vacation, and then when she was bored, she came out for a walk, thinking that Chen Peng was now in Birmingham, she got Chen Peng's address from Zhang He, and then ran over to take a look.

However, she brought Chen Peng a certificate of award for the Domestic Science and Technology Progress Award - it was the robot dog project, and some awards from colleges and universities, which could be regarded as a passable end to the project that Chen Peng had spent a lot of energy on.

Chen Peng estimated that it was under the pretext of bringing him these things that Zhang Danmiao was able to run out of her father, who was also Chen Peng's mentor Zhang Chengguang.

During Chen Peng's absence, I don't know what method was used, Zhang Danmiao got along very well with the three remaining women in the family. Vanessa, in particular, kept praising Zhang Danmiao's outstanding ability in the profession to Chen Peng after he came back, thinking that she was a rare talent, and had decided to wait until the graduation season in June to officially let her join Transwarp, which also won Zhang Danmiao's consent.

Chen Peng didn't have much to say about this. Yu Gong, he had already decided to hand over the day-to-day management of Transwarp Technology to Vanessa, and recruiting personnel was completely within her scope of responsibility; As for Yu Private, Zhang Danmiao is his good friend in the past, second only to his good brother Zhang He in terms of relationship, and there is also some ambiguity between the two, so he can only welcome this, as for Pan Luyao's little grievances, it can only be slowly appeased later.

So Zhang Danmiao stayed in the guest room of this villa, but she often went out with Vanessa during the day and seemed to be busy with something. And it didn't take long for them to bring the answer to Chen Peng - Transwarp Technology and the famous game manufacturer Glass Slag reached an agreement, in which Transwarp Technology provides comprehensive CG-level production technical services, and Glass Slag pays money and future box office sharing, and the two sides cooperate to complete the script produced by the legendary character Blood Elf Prince Kael'thas in the famous online game WOW on the big screen, which is expected to be released within two years.

The news took Chen Peng by surprise.

As a very loyal WOW player, Chen Peng has been a member of this game world since the beginning of the open beta. Although he rarely enters the game anymore, he still has a special emotion for this game world, and a large part of his motivation for making games later is also due to the influence of WOW.

And WOW's film plan was announced very early, and it was almost ten years since then, and it was said that it would meet the audience in the next two years, but I didn't expect Vanessa and Zhang Danmiao to step in at this time.

Later, in Zhang Danmiao's explanation, Chen Peng understood what was going on.

It turned out that although the glass slag had a plan for the film, it had twists and turns in the cooperation with the partner Legendary Pictures, and a lot of money was invested but there was no obvious effect. Even now, it is not really sure when the film will be completed, and both the glass slag and the parent company behind it, General Water Group, are very dissatisfied, and have considered changing partners more than once.

Zhang Tanmiao learned the news through a senior who worked for General Water's financial services, and she quickly thought of Transwarp's main projects and advantages, and quickly formulated this cooperation plan and won Vanessa's appreciation.

Through the relationship between the seniors, they met with the CEO of General Water and impressed each other through a meticulous and perfect plan, which made the other party have the intention to cooperate.

In the days that followed, Transwarp and the other party had been negotiating in secret. Finally, relying on its own advantages, this cooperation was finalized.

What impressed the other party was not only Transwarp's superb CG manufacturing technology and relatively low production costs, but also the other party's sensational Phantom World Project was also very interested in Transwarp's sensational fantasy plan. There is also a need for a partnership with Transwarp to be one step ahead.

Of course, because of the huge investment in the film cooperated with Legendary Pictures, it does not mean that it can be interrupted, so Transwarp participated in the production of another script, if the effect is good, then continue to cooperate in the future, in a sense, this can also be seen as a kind of competition between Transwarp Technology and Legendary Pictures.

Anyway. This news undoubtedly injected a shot in the arm into the entire Transwarp technology, and then a well-known director and screenwriter were selected, and the progress of the preparation was also very fast, and it seems that the progress is very good.

After that, Zhang Danmiao made persistent efforts and made a detailed investigation report on Transwarp Technology and the corresponding market. A series of new plans have been proposed, including the gaming division's reliance on stormtrooping platforms to make games, promote video streaming platforms, and so on, a large part of which has been approved by Vanessa and ready to be implemented.

……

"This project is very interesting, Miao Miao, are you going to use this as the main project of this year?"

Chen Peng put down the project in his hand and looked at Zhang Danmiao with some surprise, he didn't expect her to have such a deep understanding of game development.

In the project he just handled, he described a new game concept called "Castle Heart", which is an online game with the theme of building castles and territories, including management, cultivation, construction, combat, exploration, strategic warfare and other elements that attract players, plus a high AI interactive experience, focusing on the mobile game market, and at the same time not giving up other platforms, completely giving full play to the advantages of Transwarp's technology and thinking.

One of the more surprising suggestions for Chen Peng is that the game can try to introduce the NPC cross-area chaos mechanism with the help of the charging platform, that is, players can pay a certain price to bring some NPCs from other games into this game, for example, the player's heroic spirit in "Balanta World" can enter "Castle Heart" and become the player's partner in the game.

This idea is undoubtedly very attractive, a virtual partner who has been with him for a long time follows him to other games, Chen Peng sees himself as a player, this feeling is very interesting just thinking about it, and it can even be said to be exciting.

And Chen Peng didn't just see these in this proposal, he thought that if this is not only the case for "Castle Heart", but also for games on other charging platforms to open this mechanism, it will not only enhance the fun of the game itself, but also increase the core competitiveness of the platform itself, which other games or digital distribution platforms cannot do. Based on this alone, as long as you don't make mistakes, then it's only a matter of time before the charging platform becomes the hegemon of the game platform industry. (To be continued......)
