Chapter Eighty-Five: An Interview with a Different Game Media
"Is it for the sake of the players?" Qingteng smacked this sentence for a long time, and always felt that there was a trap, but he couldn't think about it clearly, what was the problem? "Mr. Liu, can you reveal the current data of this game?"
"Wait for me to take a look at it first, forget it, I don't want to look for it, let me briefly talk about the data of last month, that is, January, the number of registered players reached 8 million, and the monthly active players reached more than 3.6 million, the revenue, so-so, and reached a small personal goal of mine."
"This little goal?"
"More than 100 million."
Liu Neng heard a gasp on the other end of the phone, and then asked, "How much?" ”
"You're going to gasp 1.5 breaths."
"Mr. Liu seems to have a good sense of humor?"
Liu Neng sighed and said quietly, "No way, you always have to pretend to be happy in front of people, otherwise everyone will think that the game you make is very negative and depressing." ”
"Can you briefly describe what it's like to work in Mr. Liu's studio?"
"If you have to ask me, the employee is not asking me, if I have to say it, I think my boss is quite good, and from time to time I enter the coin mode, and the employee is very happy."
"Idiot?"
"Scatter coins!"
"In fact, some people in the industry estimate that according to your company's current development rhythm, your overtime should be quite serious, I don't know what Mr. Liu thinks about the 996 work system in the Internet industry?"
Liu Neng took a rare moment seriously, "First of all, I want to say that 996 is not a work system at all, I don't know who made it up or advocated it, this is a very unhealthy working state, and it is also a time system that can only be shouted out by the most shameless capitalists I have ever seen." I'm not targeting anyone, what I'm trying to say is that any boss capitalist who talks about 996 or implements it is rubbish! ”
"Some people say that this is the unspoken rule of the industry, and it is also an inevitable work system in the case of the domestic market!"
"Fuck the stinking shit, we won't have 996 in the studio, and as long as I'm still a part of this studio, it's absolutely impossible to make overtime a culture, and it's impossible to make the deformed and perverted work system of 996 the mainstream of the studio."
"I don't know how your studio would have achieved such high-speed research and development without overtime, as far as I know, now Daystar ...... There are only more than 60 people in the Blue Star Studio Group......"
"After absorbing the Three Kingdoms of Mo and recruiting some more people, now our studio has more than a hundred people. Maybe for some big companies, this more than 100 people is not a lot, but I want to say that there are many things in this world that they don't understand, such as how to make a good game, they can't understand, and they will only follow other companies to suck farts and make a few games with deep digging values and skin changes. The death of such a shameful company as soon as possible is good news for the domestic game industry. ”
"Hida...... What the? ”
"I like to hear and see, I am happy, I celebrate with the whole world, I am running to tell each other, and the simple classification is to be happy!"
"Okay!" Qingteng felt that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the other party's chat, but he still asked all the questions he wanted to ask step by step, "Your company is recruiting people very quickly, I don't know what plans are in the future?" What are you going to do? Can you reveal a little bit about that? ”
"Let's make a fun game." Liu Neng said with a smile, "To put it simply, on the one hand, we are still continuing to make the later version of "Three Kingdoms Kill OL", and we will also make a single-player game. These two things are the top priority, and another important thing is that in the next few months, we will develop a number of browser games, and I believe that there will be great changes in the browser game industry, which will bring some fresh blood to the game industry. ”
"The follow-up version of the Three Kingdoms Kill OL, what progress has been made in the research and development now, is it convenient to reveal?"
"It's inconvenient."
"...... "Qingteng really wants to drop the phone.,How can anyone play cards so unconventionally.,Even if the new version is just ready to do.,Then I have to tell everyone.,It's okay to brag about it and say that it's been developed for more than half.,But how can you say it's inconvenient? Most people don't talk like that!
"What? Can't I quit saying it? Liu Neng asked rhetorically.
"Not really, it's just ...... Nothing, can you briefly talk about the new game? Is it a single-player game? What kind of game is it? ”
"The name of the new game is "Spore", and it is a game that includes big fish eating small fish, RPG, simulation management, business development and interstellar exploration."
"This ...... Is it a game? Qingteng couldn't understand.
"Nature is the game, when the game is launched, you are welcome to come back for an interview, and then you will definitely feel very different from now." Liu Neng said.
"Then I must be very honored."
The content of the chat in the back is mostly non-nutritious, and they are happy to talk to each other a little, and then they all turn off the phone tacitly.
…………
In the next few days, Liu Neng closed the door, put aside all the chores, and concentrated on creation, which included two, one is the world view of "Spore", and the other is the game mechanism of "Spore".
The content of the worldview is relatively simpler, and the setting of more worldview is actually a story on a broader cosmic level, where humans created the Grox, a cyborg race, but were eventually destroyed by the Grox.
Grox exists to protect the universe, but in order to protect the universe, the means to protect the universe is to destroy all intelligent beings in the universe. Due to a number of reasons and limitations, Grox can only survive in the center of the galaxy and some areas outside. In the vast galaxy, there are thousands of intelligent races, and these races have dealt with Grox to some extent, but they have been bullied by Grox very badly.
At the center of the universe, the secrets of this universe are hidden, but to reach the center of the universe, you must pass through the core area of Grox, and inevitably fight this huge race that occupies millions of galaxies, if you can't destroy them, you can only be wiped out by them.
The act of communication between intelligent races in the universe, including religion, trade, battle, etc., and spices are the hard currency of trade between various races.
Evolve, choose the most suitable evolutionary route for yourself, after reaching the cosmic stage, communicate with other intelligent races, expand the sphere of influence of your own star field, and then continue to explore, go to the center of the galaxy, and find the most primitive meaning of this universe.
That's pretty much the world of the game, and it seems easy to explain it simply. But it's hard to explain it in a game-like way. There is no so-called story mode in the game, all the stories are buried in the descriptions of the stone tablets and other collectibles you can collect. A difficult thing to do.
