Liu Neng went to Peng Shuang and inquired in detail about the situation at that time.

Indeed, as he expected, Peng Shuang and Zhang Jie signed a letter of consent at Xu's strong request, and promised not to talk to him about this matter. If it weren't for today's incident, it wouldn't have been exposed at all.

Peng Shuang asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"You shouldn't tell me about this." Liu Neng was a little disappointed, and he was also nervous.

"I pondered ......"

"Theoretically, I really don't have a reason to interfere in her personal life, and I shouldn't ask about shares, but don't you think it's weird?"

"Strange?" Peng Shuang was stunned for a moment, "You mean Chu Chengxuan?" I've had dinner with him a few times, and I think he's okay, are you a little too sensitive? ”

"I don't know, guess." Liu Neng rubbed his temples, "Does he come to our company more?" I shifted my focus to Shanghai a long time ago, is he in Guanghua City, how often do you come to the studio? ”

Peng Shuang thought for a while, "At first, it wasn't much, but then the relationship with Sister Jiaojiao was announced, and we didn't care so much, we were all our own people." ”

"What a man of his own." Liu Neng was helpless, these people really didn't have any sense of secrecy. He sighed and said, "Okay, let's get back to work." By the way, I will go back and give you a new task. ”

"New mission?" Peng Shuang became interested, "What game?" ”

"Have you ever played with spores?"

"You're not talking nonsense? More than 400 hours of play. ”

"So you know a lot about the worldview?"

"Of course."

"I'm going to make an MMO with this IP as the background, called "Spore: Origin", and you will be the main copywriter."

Peng Shuang was stunned for a moment, "Origin? Prequel? ”

"Reluctantly, the past between Grox and the earth, how did humans invent Grox, some human beings have a camp war for the purpose of liberating Grox, and the core of the question is whether to give Grox human rights; Then Grox rebelled, and a war broke out between humanity and GROX! ”

"Damn, this theme, awesome!" Peng Shuang thought for a moment, "This, a big sci-fi theme!" ”

"It's still barely true, it's just on Earth, it doesn't involve the cosmic stage, and there may be more expansions later, you see. I think the later expansion can be set to the battlefield of the solar system and make the background bigger. But out of the solar system, you don't want it. ”

Peng Shuang smiled, "I understand, I understand." ”

said goodbye to Peng Shuang, and he continued to worry about Xu Jiaojiao alone.

As the days passed, Liu Neng didn't even want to read the news about DotA on the Internet, but just let his reputation ferment. Instead, he started to do more, one of which was to continue to hire people and form new game studios. It is much easier to recruit in Shanghai than in Guanghua City, there are a lot of talents here, and now the reputation of Bluestar Studio and Peacock Digital Media is very good, so that many technical and product personnel are more flocking.

The recruitment lasted less than half a month, and the organizational structure of a small studio was basically determined, and the producer Lin Haixia was personally met by him, and the rest did not ask too much.

When interviewing Lin Haixia, he thought that the other party was a woman, but he didn't expect it to be just a bearded chest strap with a more feminine name.

There aren't many questions, the core is, "Have you played DotA?" How do you see the future of competitive gaming? ”

Liu Neng doesn't pay attention to the producer's own ability, in fact, the resume can be on his desk, and he has done enough background adjustment, so there is no need to be too entangled in the things of the brain.

Lin Haixia impressed Liu Neng with her answer to the above question, "I haven't played." ”

Of course, this sentence did not move him. Rather, it is the answer to the second half of the question, "Competitive games are not just a game, but an industry, combined with the live broadcast that is now emerging, will become a kind of national game." The universal game is relative to the phenomenal game. A few years ago, RTS games tried to do this kind of thing, but due to many factors, competitive games did not become a national game. But what I think is that now that the technical node has passed, the next stage, competitive games will definitely be hot again. ”

The other party's insight into some things was very surprising, and Liu Neng didn't interrupt him and motioned for him to continue.

Lin Haixia said, "So I personally believe that the so-called competitive game should have two key characteristics, one of which is of course its competitiveness, and the other is ornamentation." Competitive games will become a kind of event in the future, and even have a league mechanism, forming a very large industry ......"

Liu Neng applauded and stretched out his hand to Lin Haixia, "Welcome to join our company!" ”

The name of the new studio is "Fenghua Studio", and another company "Youqu" has been registered, which has brought "Oriental Xianxia Studio" and Lu Fan's team that developed game engines to the new company.

After tossing back and forth for more than half a month, it was October in a blink of an eye. Some time ago, Liu Neng gave Lin Haixia a chance to play DotA without any characters, and then recruited his subordinates according to his own requirements. After the people have been allocated, Liu Neng pulled everyone to have a meeting, and the content of the meeting was very simple, and the next tasks were arranged.

1. Based on the DotA map, continuous balance optimization;

2. Develop parallel maps, the foundation is still the current DotA map, but an entertainment version must be developed, that is, DotA Imba, a perverted version;

3. Develop an official ladder mechanism for major game battle platforms, and research and select a battle platform as an official partner;

4. Come up with an effective operation plan, including the league mechanism, etc.;

5. Familiar with the mobile operating system developed by Zhou Zheng's team, as well as the Unity game development engine developed by Lu Fan's team, as well as the new machine released by Ibal.

At the end of the meeting, Liu Neng said a little more, "DotA is a free map, so you don't need to have revenue pressure at all, just do it in the most polished quality way." But the assessment is naturally also to be assessed, and the specific assessment method is determined by your boss Lin Haixia, the only requirement is that you must do your best to do a good job in this game map, and you can't be perfunctory. ”

"But there is no charging point, so how do we calculate what we usually do?" This is probably the most important concern for everyone.

Liu Neng said, "You don't have to worry about this at all. Before the development of a new profitable game, all the near-money is paid out at the level of the bonuses of the most profitable companies under our umbrella. After making a new game, let's talk about the bonus, are you satisfied with this answer? ”

"Satisfied!"

"Brother Can!"

Liu Neng waved his hand, "I need you to use three months, and by the end of the year, the above five points will be completed." In the next year, we will start developing new games. ”
