388. Onmyoji
The live broadcast of Europa Storm was not a success, after all, the live broadcast effect of this kind of game was not very good, and it was very niche.
If post-production can be carried out, coupled with a beautiful historical background explanation, this game can be made into a history textbook, and if it is accompanied by a variety of film and television drama videos in the later stage, it can be full of program effects...... But the live broadcast can't engage in all kinds of bells and whistles, and the effect will naturally be much worse.
Subsequently, the New Year's holiday ended.
At least Liu Xi's company's vacation is over, and her school will not open until about three or four days later.
The company's New Year is generally very busy, the financial side counts how much money the major platforms have made during the Spring Festival promotion, and the employees of the development department have had a good time these days, I am afraid that they have forgotten the previous progress, and it will take a while to adjust and recover. Tmall JD.com's physical version of the game sales also needs to be shipped as soon as possible after the resumption of express delivery after the year, and it is said that thousands of orders of goods have been stocked up waiting to be sent to various players. The personnel department should also start recruiting new talents, some employees chose to leave after the year-end bonus, and the interns recruited in the autumn can not help too much, so they can only start recruiting talents.
In short, the company was busy after the year, and Liu Xi began to plan for Rainbow Six.
Since the release of Bloodborne, half of Liu Xi's development department has been developing FPS-related game production, and they are now preparing to develop their own exclusive FPS engine, ready to strengthen the shooting feel, physical destruction and other aspects, of course, due to lack of manpower and lack of funds, this engine will borrow from a large number of engines circulating on the market.
If they could, they were still thinking about whether they could buy the Frost Engine for magic modification, which was originally used in the Battlefield series, and was originally an FPS game engine.
It's a pity that the Frost Engine seems to only be granted to EA's studios, and it doesn't seem to be like Unreal, where anyone can use it and anyone can buy it.
The right to use the Frost Engine still needs to be fought for, but it's time to write a plan for Rainbow Six.
During this time, Liu Xi didn't go to class every day to read or fish, and he would look at the task refresh of the system every day, so he put together a lot of game planning content, and Rainbow Six was one of them.
Some of these less important game plans have been handed over to several of their studios, while others need to be produced depending on the timing. After all, its own studio can't make a 3A masterpiece, even if the company headquarters wants to make a new 3A, it has to mobilize the whole company.
At present, the size of the company seems to be quite large, and there are hundreds of employees, and usually the project team of making games is enough for hundreds of people, but a large part of the employees are maintaining the previous game content, so there is not much that can be used. However, it is okay for the company to expand, but it is afraid that the sudden death of any game will cause the company to break the capital chain and be embezzled by other capital.
Although Liu Xi's company is known as the largest single-player developer in China, it is mainly a single-player game after all, with high R&D costs and low profits. Tens of millions of profits, many domestic mobile game companies have said that they can't look down on it, okay? As a result, if the company has just expanded its staff, it is possible that a slightly larger game will be injected by a capital company such as Penguin Pig Farm, and then it will be difficult for Liu Xi to do whatever he wants.
Sitting in his office after a long absence, Liu Xi's computer has become a triple screen, on the left is a document for writing a plan, in the middle is a European game, and on the right is a game consulting website. Although it is a bit difficult to fish when writing the plan, Liu Xi still operates the game, writes a paragraph, and then operates the game.
Anyway, it's just fishing.
"Boss, boss." Xiao Yu got up from the chair in the corner of the office and walked to Liu Xi with a yawn: "Boss, what do you want to eat at noon?" ”
Liu Xi quickly cut off the game on the middle screen, and said casually: "It's okay, just bring me a copy of what you eat." ”
"The boss has to write a plan during his lunch break? Come with me to lunch, shall you? ”
"It's okay, I'm used to it." She shook her head solemnly and said, "The company's current planning can't make a game independently, so I can only do it myself." ”
"Come on, boss!"
Seeing Xiaoyu leave the office, Liu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, he still maintained his majesty as a boss.
The company's planning is indeed a bit embarrassing and useful, not that they are not good enough, it's just that the planners have been assisting Liu Xi for a long time, and the planning is not bad in terms of values, levels, character design, etc., but they can't independently plan a whole excellent game.
Of course, game planners of average level can get it, but companies don't need it.
Li Mu thought about whether it was because of more exercise to train them, during this time when they didn't need much work such as data balancing, they could try to plan the game independently, and put it in the subordinate studio after the plan was written, so that the studio could choose the plan for production and the like, so that the studio would not need too many planning employees to focus on research and development, and the planning of the head office could also get enough exercise.
While thinking about copying the rainbow six in the system, while controlling the European game with the mouse, Liu Xi gradually became a little tired.
Due to her long-term sitting posture for work and study, she has been sitting for a few hours lately and her back hurts.
During the lunch break, about half of the company's employees chose to eat takeout, so this time was the most lively time for the company, the employees chatted and waited for takeout, and the delivery staff ran in and ran in a panic for fear of being late.
Liu Xi was lying comfortably on the small sofa in the office, squinting at the sunlight outside the window, which was quite comfortable.
"Boss."
At this time, an old employee pushed open the door, this is the company's original art director, that is, the employee who once questioned Liu Xi's game style.
Now she is the head of the company's mobile game department, after all, she likes the cute painting style of the Q version, and she can give full play to her abilities in mobile games. Although the mobile game has only one Naruto game in the company, so this department is not very valued within the company, but the new game is said to have been developed almost.
"The mobile game codenamed B is already available for internal testing, and I want to mobilize some fans to help test it, is it okay?"
"No problem, what's wrong?"
The other party hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Boss, I also want to open an independent studio." ”
"Just finish the game at hand and find a successor." Liu Xi looked up at her, "What type of game do you want to do?" ”
"Mobile games, right? Generate revenue for the company. ”
"No problem, I just have a plan for mobile games here, and it's also cute.,It's called Onmyoji."
