Chapter 17: Men Are Liars

Maple Leaf Country.

Zepto Game Studio, Office Area.

John Sean is discussing the art style of Cut the Rope with his artists.

This is a casual level game where the player needs to cut the rope to make the tied candy fall into the mouth of the little monster, and the difficulty is to plan so that the candy will eat various stars as it falls.

He has high hopes for the game, which has been conceived for two years, and his benchmark competitors are casual games such as Fruit Ninja, Plants vs. Zombies, and Angry Birds, which have taken the world by storm.

Due to the pursuit of excellence, several versions of the art style were changed back and forth, and the estimated production cost had long been used up.

A month ago, Dolphin Mutual Entertainment from China invited him to register and participate in the creative game competition, although he was very disdainful of this kind of Chinese pheasant competition, but the reward of 4 million really made him unable to refuse.

Because, the financial chain of his studio is about to be broken, and if he can't pay the salary of his employees this month, "Cut the Rope" will definitely not be released in three months, and if it doesn't work, it will be stillborn.

With this money, "Cut the Rope" will be able to launch on time on October 4.

John Sheen's "Cut the Rope" development task was very heavy, and it only took him three days to develop "Sacred Legends", a Western fantasy battle flag game.

It's just a small game.

As the runner-up of the 2008 GGJ Global Game Creation Festival, it is not easy for him to win the first place in the number of hits of the Chinese pheasant competition.

Huaxia Kingdom, what game talents can there be?

I took three days to develop a game, and it was not more than enough to win them, if I wasn't afraid of affecting my reputation, half a day of development would be enough.

On the official website of the Binhai Entrepreneurship Game Competition, John Sean has never logged in, and even the registration was done for him by Dolphin Interactive Entertainment, and he didn't even ask the name of the event.

Holding a cup of coffee, he pointed to a cartoon character on the computer screen and suggested, "Jenny, change our cute little monster to green, how about trying it out......"

"Ding~Bell~Bell~"

There was a phone call from Huaxia, and the caller was Wu Mei of Dolphin Entertainment.

The two greeted each other politely.

"John, can you update the Sacred Legend to another version......"

John Sean interrupted her next sentence and asked, "Miss Wu, what do you mean by this, is there something wrong with my game?" ”

"No, don't get me wrong, just to make sure that we can get the number one number of clicks in the end."

"Isn't my Sacred Legend number one right now? Are you kidding! ”

"At the moment, it's only a little bit short of the number of hits from the first place, and I think we need to pay attention to it."

Wu Mei put her words on the other hand, for fear of upsetting this foreigner, but in fact, "Sacred Legend" is 80,000 hits worse than the first place "Please Come to the Ends of the World"!

"Miss Wu, I only promised you to participate in the competition, but I didn't say that I would update a version."

John Sean was a little angry, at the end of the game, his game would definitely be the first place, and the gap was not big, what was this woman anxious about.

The game "Cut the Rope" is the most important thing now.

If it weren't for the financial gap in the capital chain, it would be 4 million short, and this money still wants to invite me to participate in the competition, and if I can agree to participate, it is already a great gift, and I dare to ask for more.

Greedy Chinese woman......

Wu Mei wanted to speak, but the other party hung up the phone in a hurry.

"Damn, I hung up my mother's phone! This dead liar, obviously he can get the first place in the package, and he is dragged to death in second place, and he doesn't look at who gave you the money. ”

In recent days, Wu Mei has gradually become uneasy, and in a week, the game is about to end.

The number of hits of "Sacred Legend" has never won the first place, it has always been the second place, and the number of daily hits has not shown a significant acceleration trend, almost 10,000 per day.

According to this increase calculation, it is not surprising that the boat will definitely capsize in the gutter.

The top games are not fuel-efficient, etc.

The author of "Please Come to the Ends of the World", Li Xiaotian.

She sent her subordinates to inquire, this child is only 12 years old, Guorui Building is his father's property, all the rewards are sponsored by their family, of course, the organizer has to give face, and the recommendation is very sufficient.

The game song of the same name, there are various versions of pop singing, ethnic singing, Josel singing and so on in the game, and there are indeed some people who like this song who come to listen to it.

This song is too well-known in Qiongnan Island, and it is the feeling of every Qiongnan person.

There are even many old men and old ladies who are looking for someone to make the music of this game into a CD and use it for square dancing.

"Sacred Legend" has 80,000 fewer hits than it, and the daily click increment can't be compared, and it's almost impossible to surpass it.

Also, that nobody named Su Chen did something "2048".

Among students and white-collar workers, it has become a topic, and there is a tendency to become a big hit.

Before the bug was fixed, the number of clicks broke 40,000 in one day, and after the bug was fixed, the daily clicks on the first day, although it dropped to more than 10,000, but the growth rate was so fast that it could not be underestimated.

She has also played this "2048", and she really can't stop playing it, and it is very addictive.

There is also a "Crossing the Cultivation of Immortals".

I don't know where it suddenly came from, the number of daily hits is a little less than "2048", in Qiandu's Xianxia novel, the discussion is very hot, and there is a tendency to become a hit.

In such a small pheasant competition, how can there be so many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods.

It seems that only the last resort can be used.

Brush clicks!

I have done this kind of thing before, I have never made a mistake, and I can do this very beautifully for tens of thousands of dollars.

Wu Mei made a call to her subordinates, explained the matter, and deliberately emphasized that the same IP should not be used, the number of clicks should grow slowly, and the behavior of dolphins playing with each other must not be exposed.

If there is an accident and you can't get the first place in the number of clicks, you must get the first place in the judges, and only in this way can Paradise Capital have the possibility of venture capital dolphin entertainment.

Wu Mei rubbed her temples, pushed open the office window, and lit a cigarette.

Looking out the window at the workplace elites coming and going.

The appearance of the men with oily hair, suits and leather shoes, and dog-like looks made her laugh.

The men in the world are all dog-hearted liars, and there is no good thing.

Recently, she stumbled upon her boyfriend Yang Qingguo, who had been married a long time ago and had a 3-year-old daughter.

When she saw that Yang Qingguo was picking up his daughter home from kindergarten, she knew that she would never be able to get this man.

Fortunately, when she was in love, Yang Qingguo, as the chairman of Dolphin Entertainment, gave her 10% of Dolphin Entertainment's shares.

As long as she can get 50 million from Paradise Capital's A round of financing, she can cash out her shares and leave at any time, only money will not lie.

Who knows, the people who accompanied Paradise Capital drank all night, were rubbed with an unknown amount of oil, and their legs were about to be swollen, and those grandsons just avoided talking about financing.

Drinking to the end to tell the truth, Paradise Capital is not very confident in the game products of Dolphin Interactive Entertainment, and must be able to prove the player's love.

That's when she thought about participating in a game competition to show the company's strength.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no national game competition recently, the 2010 Binhai City Entrepreneurship Game Competition, she would definitely not come, this kind of prefecture-level city competition, the scale is too small.

Wu Mei pinched off the cigarette in her hand and made a decision.

In a few years, if you haven't found a big sum willing to marry her, you will go back to your hometown and find an honest man to marry.

Hehe, these days, honest men are not necessarily honest......
