Chapter 135: The Gamer's Annual Meeting

Zhao Ju's carefully concocted "Chicken Singing Dog Thief" is nearing the end and is ready to be shipped during the Spring Festival. This is the first stand-alone game produced by Yoyo Valley, and the publicity will naturally not be easy, as early as half a year ago, relevant information has been released one after another, and it has been attracting people's attention.

However, he is not alone in the stand-alone market, and the momentum of Bird of Paradise is not weak. As early as last year, Zhang Leshan cooperated with a well-known foreign game development team to create a war game with a gimmick of large investment and production. Because the background is set in various important cities in the United States, and the two sides of the war obviously have Chinese and American elements, it is nicknamed 'Liberation of America' by players.

Playing the patriotic card is certain, and the propaganda of the bird of paradise also focuses on this, and its sales period is also scheduled for the Spring Festival, which is obviously on the bar of Youyou Valley. And "Red Leaves" in the 335 dormitory, coincidentally, was also in time during this time period. Suddenly, the War of the Three Kingdoms was about to break out.

In terms of genre, the audiences of these three games are not the same. "Rooster and Dog Thief" is similar to the stealth assassination of "Assassin's Creed", "War" is a military blockbuster, and "Red Leaves" is a supernatural ghost. Therefore, although the competition will be fierce, it is certain that each has a harvest, and what each cares about is the comparison of sales.

It was the other small game merchants who suffered, and they could only watch the Big Three grab the Spring Festival dinner, but let them go in and grab a handful but they didn't dare, because everyone knew that the struggle of these people was expected to cause disaster to the pond fish. There is no confidence, so it can only be released before the Spring Festival.

Looking at the publicity effect again, after more than half a year of publicity accumulation, the reputation of "Chicken and Dog Thief" and "War" is comparable. And "Red Leaves" is not enough publicity because of its late entry. So it's still at the bottom. But serious people are not too worried. Because he is still holding the hole card of "Nine Shadows", as long as the competition in January achieves good results, then this hole card will be the time to show his skills.

As soon as they thought of this, serious people were a little worried, and they didn't know how the operation of Professor Lu Daozhong was doing. Although domestic experts have unanimously praised it, after all, it is a foreign competition, and there are many uncertain factors, if "Nine Shadows" does not achieve the due honor. That was not a small blow to "Red Leaves".

The winter vacation is approaching, and Zhou Mo is already packing his things and preparing to go home. He is still reluctant to participate in this year's internal annual meeting of game people, and serious people can only go with the hackers who stay behind.

This annual meeting is relatively top-notch, and it is not open to the public, and last year because of the god-level anti-theft key system, the 335 dormitory was qualified to participate. However, Zhou Mo was reluctant to participate in commercial activities, so he simply planted the name of the system developer on the head of the hacker, so the hacker Gao Mu's current name is very loud in the industry.

Sometimes Gao Mu himself joked: "Mozi, you have to hurry up and give me a salary increase." Do you know how high the salary is being paid to me outside? Depend on. That's ten times my current salary! Be careful that I fire you, do you know? ”

Zhou Mo's answer to this is just one word. Get lost!

This year's annual meeting was held as usual, and serious people and hackers dressed decently attended it. At this age, they are the first to enter as a company representative. Basically, they are a group of uncles over 4~50 years old, but some of the people who follow behind them are not much different from them.

For serious people and hackers, the most feared thing is not these old men, but the people who follow them. If it was a young girl, the two would choose to walk around, otherwise it would become a scene similar to a blind date meeting. Just kidding, I'm here to talk about business, not to socialize.

It's no wonder who made the upward trend of 335 dormitories quite amazing.

I came here last year just because of a secret key system, which gave people the feeling of a nouveau riche who was a bit of a nouveau riche. But this year is different, the stability of the hegemony of the stand-alone game platform, as well as the cooperation with the Milk Tiger Group, the most important thing is that in just two years, it has become synonymous with quality, who doesn't know that the production of Ludao 335 must be a high-quality product?

The family background is not very thick, which one of the people present is not worth more than 100 million? may compete with the two giants of Bird of Paradise and Yoyo Valley, but there is only one such one. You don't see, now there are three faint postures in the industry, and they are no longer the Chu River Han realm in the past.

The battle between Yoyo Valley and Bird of Paradise is already well-known, and the annual meeting of the past years has been the stage for the two fighting methods, and now there is a rising third, and the dispute is even more interesting.

In addition to drinking, chatting, and family life, one of the most important processes of the annual meeting is product display. Unlike customer-facing products, they are all new techniques for developing games, which can be regarded as a demonstration of the company's strength.

………………………

The hacker has not had a good time in the past two years, and outsiders think that he is the developer of the secret key system, so he admires him. He didn't get dazed by the praise, he really thought he was amazing, but he worked with a sense of apprehension. said that it was work, that is, to maintain the company's computer room, there was nothing to do on weekdays, which was why he had to undertake "Hundred Schools" at the beginning.

It's a pity that he is not a piece of business material, such a high-quality game has not improved much in his hands, and it can only be handed over to serious people in the end. And after removing the work of online games, he only has network security left, but who can break through the protective network of the 335 dormitory? As for news editors or something, you can solve it by finding a web editor, and you don't need to use 5% of your share capital to support it.

After all the calculations, it seems that he has become an unwanted member of the 335 dormitory, and he is higher than the fish baby who only contributes funds and does not work. This can greatly stimulate hackers, in the field of computers, he can be described as the pride of the sky, originally joined the 335 dormitory is ready to show his strength, but tossing and turning but become an irrelevant person, which makes it difficult for hackers with strong self-esteem to accept.

Must rise up!

On the average person, it is nothing more than to stay and continue to eat white food, or choose to leave with self-respect, but hackers have no choice for either. After observing the operation of the 335 dormitory for a while, he realized that the company was still missing a developer.

The farmer's skills are indeed very powerful, but his skills are hidden in the shadows. Only the finished product is given. Sooner or later, dormitory 335 will have its own team. You must first develop your own set of development techniques. The hackers are going to be researchers in this technique. Anyway, this is his old job.

The best reference for research is the finished product made by the farmer. With Zhou Mo's supreme authority, he can obtain all the core information in the finished product, take it to slowly study, and restore the development software used by the farmer. It's a big and time-consuming project, but in the process of researching, the level of hackers is also rising rapidly.

This work is very supported by Zhou Mo, and the biggest problem with the space is that it can't come up with development software. If it can be taken out, then the 335 dormitory can also earn money from the use of software development, and at the same time, it can also greatly improve the quality of other domestic games.

…………………

Back at the Gamers Annual Meeting, the showcasing session continues. The level of the first few is not very good, and you can see the face of the hacker, and the farmer is simply a scumbag, and he is used to high-end goods, and he feels unbearable when he looks at these low-level things. It wasn't until Zhao Ju showed up and brought his voice operating system with him that the hackers got some interest.

Zhao Ju on the stage was full of spirits. Because this system is his painstaking work, it has entered everyone's field of vision with the advent of "Chicken and Dog Thief". Although the farmer has used this system in English games. But compared to Zhao Ju's, it seems to be a little worse, this is the first time that hackers have encountered someone stronger than a farmer.

The audience is all game companies, and mobile game developers are very interested in this kind of system, because the mobile platform is more suitable and easy for users to accept. It can be seen that they are whispering in private, and after they go back, they will probably contact Yoyo Valley and obtain the right to use the system.

Gu Yang was very proud, looking at Zhang Leshan's eyes full of smiles, obviously saying, "Hehe, this good thing is mine now!" ”

Zhang Leshan was very aggrieved, he discovered the talent, but he was poached by the old thing, which made him lose face. I can only pout my lips stupidly, indicating that I don't care.

The serious person has a good relationship with Zhang Leshan, and when he saw this situation, he smiled and whispered: "Mr. Zhang, why care? There is a Zhao Ju in a college student game production competition, there are so many talents in the world, and if you hold a few more rounds, won't the talents or something roll in? ”

Bird of Paradise didn't hold a game making contest this year, which is a shame for serious people, and such a contest should be more scaled up, not a flash in the pan. But having said that, the 335 dormitory doesn't have that much appeal now, and even if serious people are willing to spend money to hold it, there won't be too many participants.

Zhang Leshan glanced at the serious person, thought for a moment before saying: "I didn't expect that Manager Liu knew the benefits of the talent reserve at a young age. It's just that once I was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, I just got a Puyu, and I was robbed by someone when I changed hands, and this kind of competition is thankless. ”

The serious person Ha Luha smiled, and did not take Zhang Leshan's words seriously. Bird of Paradise gained reputation and talent by holding a contest, although it was not retained, but it was just an accident. How could such a good thing not want to do it a second time? The reason is that he eats alone.

You exclusively sponsored a contest, and everyone who had a good eye was picked up, so what did everyone else do? The stand-alone game industry is about to flourish, and talent is the most rare at this time. Therefore, it is inevitable that someone will secretly dismantle the stage, and it is definitely not only Youyougu. In that competition, there were not many people left in the Bird of Paradise, so Zhang Leshan said this.

Serious people want to hold such a large-scale event, because 335 Dormitory is a game platform, not a simple game developer, the more talent, the better, and there is no need to grab it. It's a pity that the current prestige and strength are not enough, and we can only wait for later.

Next, it was the turn of the Bird of Paradise to make a demonstration, and Zhang Leshan sent another young man to the stage. This time he took the team to cooperate with foreign countries, and he was the team leader, and this time it can be regarded as 'returning from abroad'.

However, there are not many highlights in what was taken out, the focus was on the game engine, and it was still in development, just to make a showcase, and there was not much introduction. It is estimated that it will take 1~2 years until the finished product comes out.

As is customary, the annual meeting ended in the failure of the Bird of Paradise. However, this year is different, and everyone is looking forward to what kind of things will be brought to the 335 dormitory, which has been named the 'third giant'. Last year, the 335 dormitory demonstrated the key system here, which became the biggest beneficiary of the annual meeting. I don't know if this year will have the same amazement as last year.

Hackers stepped up to power. Then the screen behind it starts the video. And it's introduced in this video. But it's "Invincible".

The audience in the audience was a little dumbfounded, this is not a game exhibition, what does it mean to make a game? Who's going to care about what new games you've come up with?

I was puzzled, but no one sneered, and those who were in the depths of this kind of occasion were not shallow. However, the noise was small and fragmented, and it still showed too frightening dissatisfaction.

The hacker ignored the noise, raised his voice slightly, and said: "This is a new type of online game that our company is developing, and its characteristics are. You can log in through your mobile phone or web page, and you can also download and log in. ”

At one point, the audience was in an uproar.

This 335 dormitory is too fanciful, right? Can mobile games be connected to online games? Huge amount of information cards will not kill you! Too much traffic can also put mobile phone users off. There are also different game times and game habits between web players and online game players, so how can they get together?

Such a game seems to be able to cover the widest range of user groups, but it is better to be fine than indiscriminate, such a game will only make it look like four different in the end, and anyone will dislike it.

Everyone was waiting for the hacker's answer, but he didn't continue the demonstration. He waved his hand to close the video and said, "The game is still in development, and this annual meeting is not a game exhibition." Not here to show the game. I chose to take it out because we designed a powerful AI system that can make digital pets more interactive than ever before. ”

As soon as I said this, everyone remembered a celebrity on the 335 dormitory network - Yulia. This legendary virtual idol with artificial intelligence has become a signboard of the 335 dormitory, and its reputation is no less than that of a popular idol. Many people jointly asked the 335 dormitory to make a music game with Yulia as the main image, but they were all rejected in the end.

At that time, the reason given by the 335 dormitory was that the technology was not mature and could not show the perfect image of Yulia, probably because ordinary software could not carry and run a powerful AI system.

Could it be that the 335 dormitory has broken through this barrier, which is why this intelligent pet game will be launched?

Think about it, what if an animatronic pet that used to be only a few movements was all the rage, but now it's more humane and has personality traits?

Thinking of this, I shuddered, and then immediately a mobile game dealer jumped up: "Mr. Gao, you won't be fooling us, right?" Is there really such a technique? ”

The hacker pretended to smile and said, "We had a Yulia a year ago, isn't she enough to explain the problem?" ”

It's hard to say whether that Yulia is artificial intelligence or not, and it definitely doesn't mean anything when she takes it out. However, Gao Mu can come up with such an exaggerated thing as the secret key system, and it doesn't seem to be difficult to make a high-AI system. As long as the so-called electronic pets in dormitory 335 can show a high level, it means that a popular storm is coming.

After all, it's not a press conference, so there's no need for hackers to explain too clearly, just to show a picture. However, the whispering voices in the audience have never stopped, so that few people paid attention to the display after the 335 dormitory, and the resentful eyes on the stage looked a little embarrassed.

Even Zhang Leshan leaned over and asked, "Brother Liu, it's hidden deep enough, when did you start researching this new AI system?" Can it really reach the level of virtual idol Yulia? ”

The serious man Ha Luha laughed and said, "How is this possible? Even if it does, do you think the phone will be able to run such a system? However, I have seen with my own eyes that the performance of that electronic pet can be said to be very magical. ”

has been in contact with serious people for a long time, and Zhilu Dao, this young man, can't say big things, since he said that he saw it with his own eyes, then he really saw it. Wow, this Gao Mu is really a genius, but it's a pity that he is dead set on the 335 dormitory, which Zhang Leshan can still see.

However, after today, his price is estimated to be higher, high-tech talents. Looking at the bosses with green eyes in their eyes, they knew that as long as Gao Mu was willing to let go, they were even willing to send their daughters.

After the presentation, it's time for an ordinary social banquet. Sure enough, serious people and hackers have become the focus of everyone's attention, and everyone uses various methods to know the specific performance of the AI system, and some are vaguely knocking on the possibility of headhunting.

Some people are proud, and some people are lost, and Zhao Ju is the one who is lost.

Originally, he took out the sound operating system just to fight with the 335 dormitory, but unfortunately, the hacker's AI system directly took away all his aura. What's even more infuriating is that the reliability of this AI system has not been proven, and those people actually choose to believe it!

Farmer's sequelae! All along, the farmer's works have been constantly breaking through, and some people feel that any strange situation can be accepted.

Am I really inferior to a farmer?

Zhao Ju was very disappointed, and was about to pour wine with a wine glass, but was stopped by Gu Yang.

"It's right for young people to have fighting spirit, but it's not okay to lose the fight and get discouraged. You are not unjustly lost this time, a genius programmer like Gao Mu is rare to see in a hundred years, and there is no shame in losing in his hands. Have faith in yourself, you know? Soon "Chicken and Dog Thief" will be released, so put your mind to this. ”

Gu Yang's words, Zhao Ju finally returned to normal, looking at the two departing backs and secretly gritted his teeth, "Chicken Cry Dog Thief" must not lose to "Red Leaves"! (To be continued......)
