Chapter 244: An Accident in the Country
When Zhuge Yuan finished speaking, it was theoretically necessary for Zheng Laiji to come to the stage and introduce the project of "Swordsman Love: Online Version". This game was pinned on by Liu Neng, and most people were not optimistic about it when the project was established, after all, "Warcraft" had just been released at that time, and it was in the limelight. Several domestic MMO games have failed. The few games that are still in operation are not rivals at all, and "Warcraft" is directly dominant, accounting for more than 60% of the market share of the MMO market.
That's a scary number.
But after Zheng Laiji received a phone call, his face suddenly changed, and the black was comparable to black charcoal. He looked at Liu Neng and said to the phone, "Okay, I know!" I'll talk to the boss! ”
"What's wrong?" Liu Neng asked.
"Something happened in the project." His face was ugly.
"Serious?"
"It's serious. The colorful gang actually poached my team with a high salary, and except for some programs, the rest of the project team were poached by a large-scale system. Of the projects of more than forty people, there are now only five left. "Zheng Laiji is almost dying.
What is this concept? It could have been officially launched for testing a year ago, but now it definitely won't.
How can five people afford a big MMO project?
Recruit new people is needed. However, newcomers are not familiar with the game, so it is impossible to get started immediately, and it may take a month or two just to familiarize themselves with the project. Coupled with the time of recruitment, it will definitely directly give the online time to next year.
The most maddening thing is that these people who have jumped out of the system have jumped out of the system.
This means that they can quickly rebuild the project and get rid of the core code - now the game has not been arraigned, and there is no version number, which means that there is no copyright and the law does not protect it. They can directly copy a similar game in a short period of time in Colorful Technology, and their progress will be much faster than Zheng Laiji's.
"What the am ...... I didn't expect Hua Xu to be such a white-eyed wolf, he has been with me for three or four years, and he has always been very hardworking, I really can't see that he is such a person! Zheng Laiji couldn't wait to beat him up suddenly.
Liu Neng rubbed his brows, "At the press conference, there is no need to go up to talk about the project." The official launch time will definitely be postponed, but fortunately, it broke out during the press conference, if the big words have been said at the press conference, and the time has come, the game has not been launched, which is even more of a headache. It's okay, just jump it, it's no big deal. You're going to run for nothing in the United States this time......"
Zheng Laiji wiped his sweat, "I'm sorry, I really didn't expect this to happen." How can those white-eyed wolves do this, you say? How good is Peacock Digital Technology now, the salary is also high, there is no need to work overtime, and the working environment is also very relaxed. I really don't know what they think. ”
Liu Neng shrugged his shoulders, "Eight achievements are, the price is high." People die for money, and there is nothing to worry about. That's it, these people actually dug into the corner of the wall and crossed the province! We can poach so many people in Shanghai. He thought for a moment, and then comforted, "You don't have to have any psychological burden, let's go back and figure it out, and see how to change this game, maybe we can make a more cowhide one?" ”
Zheng Laiji drooped his head, "That's all there is to it." ”
The press conference was close to the end because of the lack of a link, Liu Neng came to the stage again and chatted casually with everyone, talking about some of the determinations and strategies that Peacock Digital Technology intends to expand overseas markets in the future.
"For Peacock, our company is actually a relatively new company, and it has been officially established for less than two years. I hope that in the next five years, the next ten years, we will be able to make our games available to the world, so that all players in the world can play and love our games. ”
"Originally, we had prepared a lot of other projects to promote, but it was almost two hours long, so I could only take this time to briefly talk about other games. It was almost in September last year that we released Spore, the first game to be released overseas and with great success, and even now, almost a year later, this single-player game still has more than 10,000 players landing every day. I said at the time that there are four billion planets in this game, which is of course a gimmick, but there are hundreds of thousands of planets, and it will take a long time to explore them all. In the coming period, we should release its expansion, Spore: Galactic Adventure, within a month. ”
"On social media in China, I once said that we will develop more games around the IP of this game, and in addition to this expansion, there will be an RTS game "Dark Spore" and an MMO game "Spore: Origin". Even according to the rhythm of one year a year, I am afraid that when all of them are launched, it will already be the year after tomorrow. ”
"However, I'm still very young, Peacock Digital Technology is also young, and we have more young game planners, programmers, and artists. For us, every game is a new beginning. We want to make games that can be like peacocks, colorful and happy. ”
After the end, Liu Neng chatted with Li Lizhen, "I don't think it's very successful, it seems that our press conference is a bit flat from beginning to end, not like other press conferences." Is my English not very standard? ”
"Just do better next time!" Li Lizhen smiled and went to hold his hand, "I think you are already very powerful." ”
"He's really good." Guo Yu strode over, "You kid, it's only been a long time, and you've started to develop overseas." ”、
After some time ago, the relationship between him and Guo Yu has eased a lot, and it is not as-for-tat as before. This world is like this, there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests.
"It's just average. Boss Guo, what do you think? Watched the launch? ”
"How do you feel? But tell me about you, how many SLG games have been released in the past two years? I just posted a page game SLG a month ago, right? It seems to be very low-key, and the money is not less? Guo Yu asked, "I'm still quite strange, how can you do all kinds of games, from garbage page games to table cards, to "Spore" comparable to triple-A masterpieces, from SLG to social games to messy dota, moba or something, won't you have a split personality?" I've heard that you wrote those games! ”
"Making games, thinking a lot, trying to make these ideas into games, isn't it that simple?"
Guo Yu suddenly whispered, "Why don't you go to the overseas market and leave the domestic market to us?" ”
"Think beautifully, I call both hands hard to grasp!"
