Chapter 245: A Different Way
"I thought you would talk about the project of "Swordsman Romance Online" at the press conference, but who knew that you didn't plan to release it?"
Liu Neng smiled, "Originally, I had this plan, but the project was temporarily canceled due to some unexpected circumstances." ”
Guo Yu frowned, and then pretended to be relaxed and asked, "What's wrong?" The project team was dug into the corner? ”
"If I hadn't known the situation, I would have doubted that you had done it."
Guo Yu was taken aback, "Won't it?" Did I really say it? Who is so bold? Suddenly, he smiled and said, "It's really interesting to see you eating deflated, but this kind of thing often happens in the business society, and the more you have experienced, the less angry you are." ”
Liu Neng still smiled on his face, "I'm not angry, I just feel sorry for those people, you said that our company is so well treated, they can really jump?" ”
"I'm afraid I've been aiming at it for a long time, right? The project can be released and is close to the end of research and development. They dug up a lot of money, and if it really hits, they won't lose money! But who has such a big enmity with you? That's too hateful, isn't it? I won't have to cooperate in the future! Guo Yu asked.
"Whoever it is, since he played so hard, don't blame me for killing him." Liu Neng spread his hands helplessly, "When will Guo Dashao return to China?" ”
"I'm going to play in the United States for two days and then go back, go to the storm company, and talk about the agency of "Heroes of the Storm", I can't let you dominate in China, right?"
Liu Neng was noncommittal, "I'm going to deal with this matter and go back to China first." We'll have a chance to see you in China! ”
…………
Back in China, Liu Neng immediately asked about the Dongfang Xianxia project team.
When I arrived at the project team, I saw that the large office of forty or fifty people was now empty, and only three people were still sticking to their posts. Zheng Laiji looked at Liu Neng with an embarrassed face, and Jiang Xiaolan next to him was about to cry, "Boss, I don't know what's going on, suddenly almost all the people in this project team have written their resignations, and I was stunned." ”
Liu Neng patted her on the shoulder, "How big of a deal can it be?" But you might be a little busy in the next few days. ”
Jiang Xiaolan looked at the boss with teary eyes, not knowing why.
"The project team is still there, and we must recruit people, and you have to pay close attention to recruiting people."
He said to the rest of the group, "Let's prepare a little bit and go to Room 208 for a meeting in ten minutes." ”
Ten minutes later, Zheng Laiji had arrived at the office, as well as Peng Shuang and the remaining staff of the other three project teams, and now the research and development had been completely suspended. But Liu Neng hasn't come yet, Zheng is a little weak-hearted, and he usually doesn't see any clues, why did he leave such a large number of people all at once. The point is, at this important juncture, it's very devastating to think about it.
He thought to himself, after a while, the boss came, he admitted his mistake first, took the problem down, admitted the punishment and admitted the mistake, and couldn't let the remaining few people feel cold.
Just as he was thinking about it, Liu Neng pushed the door in, and brought a few other people - Master Lu Fanlu, Lin Haixia, the boss of Fenghua Studio.
Liu Neng sat down with three people, coughed, and then said directly, "Everyone is actually roughly clear about what happened, set the tone before the meeting, it's not anyone's fault who is the problem, since the matter has happened, what we have to do now is: how to solve it." ”
"I'll make a bottom first, Lin Haixia, you will support ten people over there, temporary, and when the recruitment here is almost over, I will return it to you. Is there a problem? ”
Lin Haixia thought for a while, "It's not a big problem, we will try to recruit and supplement some people to prevent people who can't be lent out when the time comes." ”
Liu Neng nodded, "No problem, go negotiate with the personnel side, increase recruitment, and fill in the personnel as soon as possible." ”
"The other thing, and the most important thing to solve the problem. The people in the "Sword Network" project team are now being poached by the system, which means that the efforts made before are likely to be overturned and redone. Peng Shuang, you still have to work harder, the previous plots may have to be overhauled, if you don't feel too troublesome, you can overturn and redo it. ”
Peng Shuang: "Okay, I originally had some ideas about this story, the original story was flawed, just take this opportunity to straighten it out again, and the story will start over." ”
"There is another thing that I have personally thought about for a long time." Liu Neng continued, "Do you realize that the game Sword Net, launched on the market, is there any advantage to competing with "Warcraft"? ”
This question was thrown, and suddenly everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what the point of Liu Neng talking about this at this time.
"I've been thinking about this for a while, maybe we were going in the wrong direction at the beginning, and we just wanted to make a game that could compete with Warcraft. But in fact, the gameplay that has not been made is not competitive compared to Warcraft. We have not been able to refine some things with Chinese characteristics, so that our games and Warcraft have differentiated competition. Is it really the main plot that can make players pay? That's probably a question mark, right? ”
"So...... Don't sell it! Zheng Laiji felt that he had captured some of Liu Neng's ideas, but he didn't know what they were. If you have any good ideas, just let us know! ”
When he saw that Lu Fan was brought over for a meeting, he had already expected that he would modify the underlying gameplay of the game. Lu Fan is a game engine, there is no reason to bring him over for a meeting, since he is here, he must understand the underlying code, because he has to support some "special" gameplay.
Liu Neng smiled, "I still want to use your mouth to say what I want to say, but forget it." For Chinese martial arts, a very iconic one is light work. Therefore, I think we can put the concept of light power in the game, so that players can use light power freely in the game, just like a flying mount in Warcraft. But there is one thing that is different, our characters fly in the sky with light skills, and they can fight. ”
Zheng Laiji and the rest of the people suddenly lit up, as if they had grasped some life-saving straw.
"Light work...... Light work, yes, we can completely differentiate. Even if they poached our people, that game, to put it bluntly, doesn't have much competitive advantage against Warcraft. However, once we really make the light power gameplay, plus a series of supporting gameplay, this is the originality of the game in the world! Lao Liu, you can, how did you come up with it? ”
"Don't care how you thought of it, this is also an important reason why I brought Master Lu over for a meeting. This underlying gameplay, you have to find a way to solve it, and the light power does not conform to the general physics engine. ”
