Chapter 194. Cooperation or competition

The first three episodes of the "Classical Literature Club Series" were quickly completed, Xu Rui stopped the pen in his hand, stretched, and then prepared to go to the Hatsune Game headquarters next door.

It was raining lightly outside the window, drizzling, moisturizing things silently, Xu Rui said hello to the girl at the front desk, then took a transparent umbrella, opened it, and walked quickly to the office building of Hatsune Games.

It's still busy, and Bloodborne: Cursed is gearing up for the start of the swimsuit event in July and August, and the design work is complicated as the swimsuit versions of the characters aren't skins, they're brand new, and new characters with their own unique skills.

Xu Rui greeted Huo Luofei and came to the reception room with him.

Two men in suits and leather shoes were already waiting here.

"Hello, I'm Shi Dao from the game development department of Suoren Interactive Entertainment, and this is my colleague Li Zhen."

When the two saw Xu Rui coming in, they immediately got up, and the man standing in front stretched out his hand to Xu Rui.

Several people shook hands before sitting down.

Shi Dao has slightly longer hair, with a bit of artistic touch, and a mustache, while Li Zhen is younger, flat-headed, and looks capable and shrewd.

Taking the other party's business card, Xu Rui glanced at the title, Shi Dao is the head of the development department of the game console of Suo Ren, and Li Zhen is the head of the third development department.

"I won't say more about the greetings, let's get straight to the point."

Xu Rui put away his business card and looked at the other party.

"Hatsune Games is ready to develop an exclusive console game on the SN platform of Suoren Mutual Entertainment, and I hope your company can provide some development machines, as well as some technical support."

Hearing Xu Rui's words, Shi Dao was stunned, and then asked.

"I thought you were going to entrust our company with the development of the game."

After receiving the news of the business cooperation of Hatsune Games, the game department of Suoren Mutual Entertainment still attached great importance to it, and immediately sent the person in charge of the console and the boss of the production team over, they felt that Hatsune Games and Xu Rui now have several big IPs in their hands, whether it is the hot "Madoka Magical Girl", or "Bloodborne: Curse", there is enough content to support an adapted game work, and now seeking their cooperation must be authorized to commission development.

"If I had the opportunity in the future, I would definitely choose to work with Soren Interactive Entertainment to develop a game, but first I wanted to set up my own console game development department."

Xu Rui smiled and said, since the beginning of the year, Xu Rui has asked Hollow to recruit console game developers, from art to modeling, from program to values, because "Bloodborne: Cursed" won many awards at the Game of the Year Awards last year, this high-quality browser game has also entered the field of vision of many practitioners, and it is not difficult for Hollowaffe to recruit people.

"Own game development department?"

Li Zhen's eyes widened slightly, to be honest, he has seen a lot of people who say similar words to Xu Rui, these people are all production teams who have made money in the mobile game circle and want to "go ashore" through console games, but the inertial thinking of mobile games and the lack of experience in game development in the console field have made these production teams fall miserably without exception.

However, Li Zhen has played Bloodborne: Cursed, and in his opinion, this is still an excellent turn-based game despite kryptonite elements such as card gacha, and many of its designs are difficult to think of even in the mainstream gaming world.

In fact, after the fire of Bloodborne: Cursed last August, some indie game production teams also "copied" the game mode of Bloodborne: Cursed and developed their own games, which caused several waves of controversy, but most of these games eventually sold out more than expected, which shows the exquisite game design of Bloodborne: Cursed.

"Yes, even though Hatsune Games started as a browser game, I'm also a loyal console player myself, and I also play games with my family during holidays, so as Hatsune Games' first step into the console market, I wanted to be as perfect as possible."

Xu Rui explained.

"That's right, although there are a few well-known freelance studios in the industry, they all have a very tight schedule."

Shi Dao sighed.

For example, Gold Studio, which previously helped the game department of Tomato Video Network develop the console game "Iron Magician: Magic Mark", is a game studio established by several game producers who were previously independent from Hat Games, inheriting the characteristics of Hat Games that are good at action games, and Gold Studio also focuses on the development of action games.

It's just that the gold studio itself has great ambitions, but its development capabilities are slightly insufficient, and there have been scandals in which it cooperated with another console developer to develop a game with hardcore software, only to run away in the middle of the development because of lack of technical power.

If it weren't for the fact that Gold Studios itself is a well-known producer, and action games are second only to hat games, it is estimated that few companies would be willing to ask them for OEM.

"Suoren Mutual Entertainment has strong technical strength, of course we know it, so we want to seek technical support from you, and we can also share the benefits of this game."

Xu Rui means that Suoren Mutual Entertainment will be a technology shareholder, participate in the development of this game, and make money when the time comes.

Shijima fell into thought.

In fact, the IP of Hatsune Games is exclusive to Suoren Mutual Entertainment's SN, which is already a victory, Suoren Mutual Entertainment is now very competitive with hard-core software on the host, SN and the other party's game host white box basically presents a five-five open situation, although the SN host has portability and good graphics, but the white box relies on the hard-core software to buy out the studio works, and spends money to promote the installed capacity, and quickly occupies the market.

Hatsune Games, as the hottest game development last year, can stand on the side of Soren Mutual Entertainment, Shidao is already very satisfied.

"In this way, our development department can't make a decision on this business, and we still need the business cooperation and other departments to make a decision with the big boss, I will convey this intention to the past, hoping to reach this cooperation."

Shi Dao paused and said.

"To be honest, Mr. Xu, you made a fortune from an animation company, as long as you get involved in a certain industry, a certain industry will set off a storm, and I'm a little worried about whether I brought the devil into the house."

Of course he is joking, but maybe it is also Xu Rui's plan, who knows if Xu Rui will also set up his own game console company after the game is successfully produced, and sell his own game console.

"Haha, don't worry, I don't have the energy to tinker with the console platform market anymore, and being able to make some games that make players happy is my greatest wish."

Xu Rui is telling the truth, he is not interested in engaging in a new host for the time being, firstly, the investment is too large and thankless, and secondly, the current console platform is also developing very well, and there is no need to forcibly intervene.

"Having said that, can I be curious to ask, which IP game Hatsune Games is going to make?"

Li Zhen saw that the discussion was almost over, so he interjected and asked.

"No, I'm not planning to make an existing IP into a console game, at least not for the time being."

Xu Rui replied without thinking about it.

"What do you mean...... New IP? ”

Li Zhen was really scared, the first time Hatsune Games set foot in console games, he had to do it himself, and he didn't plan to rely on the popularity of the old IP, he no longer knew whether this was arrogance or confidence.

"That's right, Mr. Lai, I'm going to make a movie-like game."

Xu Rui said a little mysteriously.
