Zhong Ming's words are to the point, which is also the most attractive point for Lin Xiaoguang.

It is true that the combination of hardware and software can bring players the most perfect gaming experience, but this sentence is easier said than done.

At the same time, there are very few manufacturers who have the courage to do both hardware and software, and at the same time can do a good job of both, at least in this world, there is really no one who can do it completely.

In the host platform, because some standards are relatively fixed, the process is standardized, and most of the basic functions have been finalized in the continuous exploration of the host manufacturer, this is not obvious.

The vast majority of hosts are similar,Even if there is a difference in the shape of the body,The content inside is the same,The only place that can make some difference may be the handle。 But the handle has been developed for so many years, and it has been studied by ergonomic experts I don't know how many times, and the function and layout have basically been finalized, and there is no particularly breakthrough technological innovation, and I am afraid it will be difficult to make any major changes.

The functions of the dual joysticks, buttons, triggers, vibrations, sounds, etc., on the controller, are already very perfect, and it is difficult to stuff new things into them.

However, in terms of the world's more popular simulators, the combination of software and hardware has a lot to offer.

Because so far, there has not been a particularly popular simulator appeared, and different simulators have very different shapes, and there is no unified standard at all. THE MORE THIS IS THE CASE, THE EASIER IT IS FOR NEW PRODUCTS TO STAND OUT, AND GAME OMNI IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THIS.

However, the manufacturer of GAME OMNI is only a pure hardware manufacturer, and its design for GAME OMNI is only based on the current mainstream FPS games, and it cannot do some relatively differentiated things, so whether it is "Gun God Road" or "Resident Evil", there are some more or less problems transplanted to the GAME OMNI platform.

It's not a procedural problem, but a design problem, such as the operation of poking monsters with a knife in "Resident Evil", which is simply not possible on GAME OMNI, and "The Way of the Gun God" also had to cut some operations in order to adapt to GAME OMNI.

WHAT IF GAME OMNI HAD ALREADY BEEN DESIGNED WITH A GAME IN MIND? The adaptation level is definitely much higher than that of both games, and players will be able to get a better gaming experience.

Therefore, Lin Xiaoguang is really moved, he is indeed the vice president of Moya Technology, but the handheld business unit he is responsible for is a marginal department in the entire Moya Technology, there is really not much R&D funding, and it is not particularly valued, and it is only when the senior management looks at the financial report that he remembers to force the handheld business department to make a profit, Lin Xiaoguang is not comfortable.

If you really cooperate with Zhong Ming, first of all, it means that the hardware can be made without worrying about the game - in terms of the speed and quality of Zhong Ming's development game, not to mention the world-class, there is no problem with the first-class in Huaxia; The second is that there should not be too much shortage of money, "Resident Evil" really sold 2 million sets at a price of 299, so Shimmer Studio is no longer a small workshop, and throwing tens of millions of R&D hardware equipment is not a problem at all.

"Okay, Mr. Zhong, you moved me, I'll think about it when I go back. In this way, I look at the trend of "Resident Evil", predicting that the sales will reach 2 million, and I will officially ask for my resignation. Lin Xiaoguang said.

Zhong Ming nodded: "The sooner the better, remember to dig your team as much as possible." ”

"Aren't you afraid that Moya Technology will trouble you?" Lin Xiaoguang smiled.

Zhong Ming said nonchalantly: "What are you doing to trouble me, they don't pay attention to the handheld division." Besides, although these technicians are scarce, it doesn't mean that they can't be found at all, and they can't be mined from Moya Technology, so I'll dig from other companies. There are not many host R&D personnel in Huaxia District, but there are many bracelet R&D personnel and computer R&D personnel. ”

Lin Xiaoguang nodded: "That's right, then let's do it first, Mr. Zhong, I hope we can continue to cooperate happily." ”

……

Sending Lin Xiaoguang away, Zhong Ming returned to the studio.

Shimmer Studio is also full of talents, and at the same time of research and development, Shimmer Studio and Tianji Studio are constantly expanding, and the empty seats have already been occupied, and they are not enough.

The original construction area is more than 600 square meters, after deducting the conference room, it may be more than 500 square meters, according to the need for at least 8~10 square meters of workstation area per person, at most more than 50 people, and now there are 63 people in the shimmer studio alone.

So during the development of "Resident Evil", Zhong Ming asked Miao Zhu to arrange it, split the two studios a little, and then rented all the other vacant workstations on the 66th floor.

Since Tianji Studio and Shimmer Studio have no business dealings with each other, there is no need to squeeze together to work, Zhong Ming considered moving Tianji Studio to a new floor.

After taking a look at the current vacant positions, there are more high-rise positions, Zhong Ming casually pointed to it, rented the 77th floor, and arranged the Tianji Studio.

Of course, the house number must still maintain the same style as the Shimmer Studio, and the house number of 7777 was specially customized.

It seems that 6666 and 7777 are next to each other, but they are not, these two are on the 66th floor and the other is on the 77th floor, which is eleven floors behind.

But anyway, there is an elevator, Huanyu Grand View belongs to a high-end office building, there are not many people, the elevator is completely sufficient, the difference between one floor and ten floors is not very big, Zhong Ming wants to visit the door when he is fine.

During this time, Shimmer Studios mainly continued to develop some new version optimizations and DLC content for Resident Evil, providing some hardcore players with a longer gaming experience. For the time being, Zhong Ming doesn't have to worry about this, Fu Xing'an and they can completely handle it.

So Zhong Ming came to the 77th floor and took a look at the situation of Tianji Studio.

After the launch of "Dawn Era" before, Tianji Studio has been in a state of lying down to make money, and a lot of subsequent new versions have been developed, but the work tasks are not so heavy, and everyone is in a state of health.

"Boss." Jia Jia saw that the bell was ringing and came over to say hello.

Zhong Ming looked at it casually, and everyone was basically still busy with the new version of "Dawn Era".

Now the monthly flow of "Dawn Era" has reached the level of 20 million, and it is still on the rise, so it is time to strike while the iron is hot.

However, the launch of a new version should not be too fast, first, it is unnecessary, and second, it is risky.

At a time when players are still fresh with the game and are satisfied with the large amount of GVG content, it is best to keep the game as it is. Players need to update the version when they are tired of playing the current content and need something new.

"The new version of Age of Dawn is not in such a hurry, it needs to be updated at the slowest speed. This game focuses on GVG, and the intrigue of players is far more exciting than the game content, so put more effort into this. Zhong Ming said.

Jia Jia was stunned for a moment: "You mean ......"

"You can arrange for individuals to go to the forum to hold some story collection activities, such as the grievances and hatreds of the XX army in the XX region, or do some strategy posts, how to command different GVG gameplay, etc., players may need these things more."

Jia Jia nodded: "This is easy to say, I'll arrange it when I go back." ”

"By the way, there are other things to do this time, you can come with me to the conference room."

Zhong Ming took Jia Jia to the conference room, and the two of them sat down at the conference table.

"I want to arrange for Tianji Studio to develop a new game." Zhong Ming said.

"Is it still a mobile game?" Jia Jia asked.

Zhong Ming nodded: "Yes, it's roughly like this......"

Zhong Ming opened the concept map of the new game on the bracelet, this concept map is just a simple original painting, but it shows the main content and gameplay of the game very clearly.

Like "Dawn Era", it is still a holographic projection mode, but this time the holographic projection mode no longer locks the viewing angle, and the player can adjust the viewing angle at will.

The whole site is a rectangle, with a relatively large city at each end, and a villain wearing a dragon robe and a crown on the top of the city above; There are two small cities on both sides of the big city, and the three cities are distributed in the shape of "product".

The opposite side is also a similar mirror image, except that the classical city style of the East has become a castle in the West, and the style of the villain on the castle has also changed to the style of the West, wearing a crown.

In the center of the map is a river with two narrow bridges, and the small towns and narrow bridges on both sides are connected by a road, for a total of two roads.

The whole map is very neat, and although it is simple, it looks quite comfortable.

Because it is a holographic projection mode, the player can actually view the details of the game from any angle, and in addition, the player can also drag the entire scene and rotate horizontally on the center point of the map, up to 90 degrees, that is, the entire rectangle from vertical to horizontal.

On both roads, there are many different soldiers who look like a hodgepodge. But it's all Q version style.,The style of painting is more unified.。

Jia Jia saw some shadows of Chinese style in these soldiers, such as crossbowmen, chariot soldiers, light cavalry, etc., while the soldiers on the opposite side were obviously of the Western type, including knights, archers, and the like.

These are classes that are closer to reality, but there are very few of them, and more of them are imaginary creatures, which can also be used as troops. For example, Charizard, Skeleton Warrior, and Goblin in the West, while Thunder Beast, Bi Fang, Teng Snake, Pixiu and the like in the East.

There are also some special equipment, such as bed crossbows, siege vehicles, hot air balloons, etc., and finally some spells, such as a wide range of thunderbolts, fireballs, arrow rain, etc.

The concept map also draws the corresponding UI, all the soldiers and the three towers on both sides have health bars, and everyone can use some class cards to place troops on the map by recovering the energy bar. The result of the battle is also very simple, add a crown for each tower dropped, if the main city is blown up, it is equivalent to losing the whole game, and finally the outcome of the battle is determined according to the number of crowns on both sides.

A very simple game concept map, a very simple game prototype, and it doesn't even need Zhong Ming's too much explanation, Jia Jia can understand it by himself.

"The name of this game is "City Guardian Battle", and the English name is Defense of Castle, or DOC for short."

Jia Jia looked at the concept map of the game again and nodded: "Well, it shouldn't be difficult to do, I'll talk to the technology and see how to do it." ”

Zhong Ming said: "The difficulty of making this game is definitely not high, but the pressure of numerical pressure is greater. The HP, attack, movement speed, cost, etc. of each class must be carefully considered and designed, including a variety of complex classes, to ensure that there is no too big difference in strength between different decks. But you have to make a difference, because the cards in this game are also of quality. ”

"You can figure out how to do the specific numerical balance first, and I'll make up a document later, detailing the general economic system of this game, including quests, treasure chests, and gacha."

Zhong Ming briefly explained two more sentences.

Now Jia Jia is the chief designer of Tianji Studio, so these relatively simple games, Zhong Ming was directly handed over to Jia Jia to complete.

Jia Jia received the concept art and began to conceive some details of the game, while Zhong Ming left Tianji Studio and returned to the 66th floor.

"City Guard Battle" is actually Zhong Ming's "Clash Royale" in his previous life, with the same gameplay, but with some oriental elements. Of course, there is another difference that the carrier of the device has changed from a mobile phone to a bracelet, and the picture has naturally changed from a flat plane to a holographic projection.

Tianji Studio shoulders the burden of profitability, and now "Dawn Era" is also making money, but the speed of earning is not particularly fast, at least there is still a big gap from Zhong Ming's expectations, so it's almost time to make another game.

"City Guardian Battle" does not have any technical difficulties, and now taking advantage of "Dawn Era" to make Tianji Studio a little famous, it is just right to make this game and become the next product of Tianji Studio.

……

On January 31, a small news happened in the technology circle.

Moya Technology announced that it received the resignation of Lin Xiaoguang, senior vice president in charge of the handheld business, on January 28, and the resignation took effect on January 31. After discussion by the board of directors, Gao Dongfang, a senior executive of the former bracelet business department, was transferred to the position of senior vice president in charge of the handheld department.

Moya Technology also said that Lin Xiaoguang's resignation as vice president will not adversely affect the company's production and operation. During his tenure, Lin Xiaoguang has performed his duties with dedication and excellent performance, and the Board of Directors would like to express its heartfelt gratitude to him for his excellent work during his tenure. This appointment is in line with the needs of the company's actual operation and development, and will not adversely affect the company's production and operation.

Of course, the announcements are polite words, they are all for the outside world to see, the resignation of the vice president is not a trivial matter, and it is not good that others will think that Moya Technology has any internal struggles, or problems in production and operation, which will have an impact on the stock price.

Lin Xiaoguang also made a statement on his personal Weibo, thanking Moya Technology for its cultivation and care in the past few years, this resignation is completely due to personal reasons, and he is also very emotional about the company, and he is very reluctant.

As for Lin Xiaoguang's next orientation, he did not disclose it for the time being, but said that he has been busy with work recently, and he is under a lot of pressure, and he needs to find time to spend time with his family, and he will not consider working in other companies for the time being.

This matter did not attract much attention from the outside world, but the insiders of Moya Technology were very clear that Lin Xiaoguang not only left by himself, but also poached six key members.

Lin Xiaoguang wanted to dig up the entire handheld business department, but in that case, it would almost be a tear with Moya Technology, and many people would not let Moya Technology go. Lin Xiaoguang discussed it with Zhong Ming and felt that there was no need to create resistance to his resignation, so he just dug up six people in moderation.

The announcement was an understatement, in fact, Lin Xiaoguang also took some twists and turns to leave Moya Technology, but overall it went smoothly.

For Moya Technology, the handheld business department is not too core department, such a large company is full of talents, and it will not have much impact on the department's business.
