Chapter 54: I've had enough of my life

[Mr. Meng, you... What happened to this horror plus shooting genre? Is there something wrong? ]

Director Lian asked suspiciously, she felt very curious after hearing Meng Shu's laughter, whether she felt that there was something wrong with such a type combination at the first time.

"No problem, I think it's good, I'm sorry for a little gaffe."

After Meng Shu finished laughing, he immediately returned to his usual expression.

He picked up his coffee, walked to the window, stared at the traffic below, and sipped quietly.

[yes, actually, I personally feel that this type is fine, but it's a little weird.] People on the Internet have also said that the main focus of shooting games is to relieve stress, while horror games are scary and depressing with your standard. The two are clearly in conflict, and I think it's a bit counterproductive to force them together. ]

Director Mercy paused, and hesitated when a sentence came to his lips.

But after thinking about it, I asked.

[... After all, you haven't even done that, and you've made a choice between shooting and horror in all of the games you've released, except for Dark Forest. ]

After Meng Shu heard this, he took a sip of coffee.

He shook his head at this.

"Director Pity, this combination type is indeed no problem, so there is nothing to comment on. I just laughed, I just thought they were innovating too late. Although it is a bit aimed at us, I personally admire the idea of technical games. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the vista and looked at the sky full of dark clouds, his expression was flat.

"I hope they can make the game as scheduled, so that it can be regarded as a contribution to the game industry and drive the market for this horror game."

Director Pian was stunned on the spot.

What are these words?

If you are a boss and do not prioritize your own interests, how can you still speak for the opponent who is directed at you?

[Mr. Meng, I don't really understand what you mean. Judging from the new games announced by Techgame, it is a unique combination innovation on the market. That alone has attracted a lot of support, which is a lot of competition for us, and it is very likely to affect the sales of your next game! ]

When Meng Shu heard this, he raised the corners of his mouth.

"To tell the truth, as one of the top game manufacturers in China, if the hard power of technical games can't even enter the horror market, then I really think highly of them."

With that, he sat back in his office chair and put down his glass.

"As for the sales problem, if it really affects it, it can only show that they are really capable. I have nothing to blame for speaking with my works and winning the reputation of players with the quality of my works. ”

Director Mercy was immediately dumbfounded.

All along, she felt that this Boss Meng was different.

But I didn't expect it to be so different.

People are secretly targeting you, and you still praise others for their ability, and you are not worried that other people's games will affect the sales of your next game?

If it is Mr. Liang of his own company, in the face of this kind of thing, I am afraid that the publicity department has already announced the game content in advance to fight back!

In the opinion of myself and others, no matter what, we must not let competitors have the opportunity to seize market interests.

As soon as they make a move, fight back immediately!

That's what a businessman is!

That's what makes money!

Therefore, Director Lian sometimes really thinks that this Mr. Meng is too taken for granted.

But since they entered the industry, they have all gone off the beaten path, and they have all been niche and unpopular, relying on their ability to pull up the horror type that no one cares about.

Therefore, this Mr. Meng is not the kind of person who only knows fantasy, but a person who really has the ability and vision.

So far, Director Lian can't understand Mr. Meng's style.

Every time I communicate with him, I have a different new understanding.

[Mr. Meng, that's right.] We don't know your new game yet, but you guys seem to be already working on it. I would like to ask, can the combination of horror and shooting be implemented in the next game? ]

After a pause, she answered immediately.

[Our game studio at Infinity has a lot of experience in FPS development, so I'd like to ask if it's possible for us to have a joint development.] With your level of horror game production, plus our experience with shooters from Infinity Online Entertainment, to add such a mechanic to your next title? ]

Hearing this, Meng Shu didn't think about it, and immediately refused.

"Poor Director, this isn't a technical problem. We are the only company in the world that is doing VR, and our game engine has been developed for ten years, and the technology is very strong, so there is no need to worry, so there is no need for joint development. ”

"Our first two VR games don't have a combat system, so it's not that they can't be done, and it's not because it's difficult to do. It's that I don't want to do it, I don't want the combat to ruin the overall atmosphere and rhythm of the game. ”

"But my next game also added a shooting mechanic, but it wasn't announced, and consumers didn't know about it, including you."

When Director Lian heard this, he was slightly stunned.

He opened his mouth on the other end of the phone, thought about it, and sighed slightly.

[Mr. Meng, since your development team can do it, you should announce the news as soon as possible.] As a result, it is now preempted by the technical game and has been the first to get the expectations of players. Since we have this innovative idea for a long time, it is time to talk about it first... Alas. ]

When Meng Shu heard this, he shook his head.

He felt pitiful.

In this parallel world, both horror and shooting can be an 'innovation'.

It can be seen how barren the subject matter of this industry is.

Obviously two types that already exist, but just combine them together and become a new model?

After Meng Shu heard the news, in addition to laughing, he was also a little sad.

Laughing is laughing at the backwardness of this industry, and the combination type can become innovative, which is really ridiculous.

Sad, it is sad that the development of this industry, for decades, I don't even know this, it's really sad.

For the crooked development of this kind of industry, even if Meng Shu has the concept of the system and the original world, he does not intend to lead it.

Meng Shu believes that if he wants to engage in 'innovation', he can easily do it.

Have the people of this world ever seen zombies?

Know about Aliens?

Have you ever experienced piloting a mech?

Have you ever enjoyed the feeling of traveling in the universe?

No.

Therefore, when it comes to 'innovation', Meng Shu can do it casually.

But he's just an ordinary person, and he can't be the savior of the industry.

He just wants to make games in this world, make money, and make money so that he can be carefree for the rest of his life and enjoy his old age in peace.

He doesn't want to go through the open and secret battles in the business world anymore, and he doesn't want to worry about the company's market value and profits anymore, and he doesn't want to participate in the dinner party where he is deceitful and hides a knife in his smile.

Now he runs a small company and does niche games, which is comfortable, relaxed and stable.

Why don't you want to compete with other companies for this and that?

Haven't you had enough of those days before?

No, he's had enough.

"That's what I'll tell you, Director. I make games just to entertain players. I don't want to compete with other manufacturers, and I don't have that idea. So it's good for you guys to be the first to announce it, and for me, it doesn't matter. ”

"Moreover, it is a good thing that domestic companies are innovating."

"Horror games have not developed as well as they could in recent decades. Both at home and abroad, they are following the trend to do mainstream gun car balls, and even RPGs are rarely seen, indicating that most manufacturers just want to make quick money. Now domestic companies finally have their own ideas and innovations. It is the only game of the same domestic company, even if they have something to say, but as long as they contribute to the industry and can drive the market forward, then I really have nothing to say. ”

"I'm an entrepreneur, but I'm also a gamer. From the standpoint of being a player, I just want the entire gaming industry to flourish and be colorful. And not a monotonous and deserted ball of guns. ”

"That's why I focus on horror games and not on shooters and other genres. After all, other manufacturers will do it, and I don't want to fight with them. ”

"But..."

Meng Shu paused slightly, looked at the monkey development engine in the computer, and his tone became cold.

"As a domestic head company's technical game, if you sell dog meat with a sheep's head in this new game, and do pure shooting games under the banner of horror games, or if the shooting games are mixed with the previous garbage horror games. I'm sorry, it's a combination of horror and shooting..."

“... I want it. ”

...

...

Hanging up the phone, Meng Shu picked up the coffee again and took a sip.

Then I put it down, went to the V blog, and saw the new game promotion of the technical game.

When he saw the 'certain manufacturers' and 'putting the cart before the horse' in the article, he couldn't help but laugh again.

You are one of the top game companies in this world.

In order to enter the horror game market, in order to open up this part of the game, you have successfully 'innovated'.

This spirit and behavior deserves support.

I don't know what your game is like, but it's better to be scary and upbeat as you say.

But if you sell dog meat on the head of a sheep, and the main thing is shooting, you will be perfunctory in terror and ruin the reputation of this market again.

Then you 'innovation', let me do it.

I'll show the whole gaming industry a look.

What is the fear of 'not daring to shoot a weapon when you get it'?

What is the panic of 'having a gun but worrying about bullets'?
