Chapter 09: Repay Hard

It's so abstract!

Shen Miaomiao shouted outrageously in her heart.

If the previous cat Leo looked like a group of garbage at first glance, then Gu Sheng's new project is based on defense.

After all, the cat Leo belongs to Mario's derivative work, and the quality of the game is put aside, at least at first glance you can see what kind of game it is, what the basic gameplay is, and what the purpose of the game is.

But this new project!

Shen Miaomiao couldn't even imagine what kind of game this was through Gu Sheng's description!

The bear child is crazy to death, and the old father tries his best to stop it?

What's so special about it?

Shen Miaomiao couldn't figure it out, and was even a little worried about Gu Sheng's mental condition.

But!

There is no doubt that such an inexplicable game has no sales highlights at all.

The track chosen by Gu Sheng itself is unpopular, and coupled with the gameplay setting of this evil gate, it is difficult not to lose.

Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but be happy.

Forget it, no matter what kind of game it is, the more outrageous it is, the better it is for her!

This time, you must make up for the rebates that Mao Leo didn't earn!

Pay it back hard!

So, I nodded:

"Very good, I like this idea (although I don't understand it either),"

"Then Director Gu will start to set up the project, if there are any requirements, especially in terms of investment, the company will fully support and meet them!"

What a boss!

Hearing this, Gu Sheng secretly picked a big finger in his heart.

It is not difficult to see from Nezha's expression that she doesn't understand this game at all, and she looks confused and in the clouds.

But!

Xiao Nezha still chose to believe in himself, just like he believed in the teacher's answer in math class, whether he understood it or not, just nod his head and say yes, yes, yes.

With this boss, what do you want in life!

Gu Sheng secretly swore in his heart that he must make the company look good, so as not to lose his trust in Xiao Nezha!

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng nodded:

"Thank you boss for your trust, since that's the case, I really have a small request."

"It's okay, you say, the company that can do it will definitely support it."

Shen Miaomiao nodded and motioned to Gu Sheng but said it was okay.

Gu Sheng grinned, as if he was a little embarrassed:

"That's right, because this project is much larger than Catrio, so I think we can appropriately expand the size of the team,"

"A whole game team, except for the producer, which is me,"

"It is also necessary to be responsible for the main process of engine development and program operation and maintenance, and the main beauty of scene UI and character modeling, because some subsequent works may involve trade secrets, so it is not suitable to outsource all projects."

In fact, here he also said one less main strategy.

The master planner is usually responsible for gameplay planning, level design, story logic structure, and so on.

But due to the existence of the system, the game he redeemed is almost a semi-finished product, including the core gameplay and plot design, so Gu Sheng also served as the main planner by the way, which can be regarded as saving the company money in disguise, and at the same time ensuring the originality of the game to the greatest extent.

After all, if Gu Sheng is a producer and chief planner, then it means that the core structure of the game is in his hands, and he is the giver of the soul of the game in the true sense.

After listening to Gu Sheng's suggestion, I saw Shen Miaomiao nodding again and again.

Good! That's great!

Our big director has grown up and knows how to spend money on the company!

Immediately wave your hand!

"Director Gu's proposal is very good! Such! ”

As she spoke, Shen Miaomiao turned to Chu Qingzhou:

"Secretary Chu, immediately recruit according to Director Gu's requirements, those with sufficient experience and strong ability are required, the salary is not a problem, the more expensive the better!"

To know!

According to the system, as the investment executor, the salary of the manager is not involved in the determination of the investment amount, but in addition to the manager, any personnel investment will be regarded as an investment!

In other words, the more expensive the people under Gu Sheng who participated in the production of the game!

The greater the investment amount!

The harder it is to recover the principal!

The more rebates you get!

Of course, personnel employment must also follow a certain market price, and you can't hire a dog with an annual salary of one million, which is considered cheating.

Therefore, Shen Miaomiao instructed Chu Qingzhou to find cattle recruits as much as possible, so as to increase capital investment.

However, without waiting for Chu Qingzhou to agree, he heard Gu Sheng interrupt:

"Uh...... I mean...... Maybe we don't have to go through that much trouble? ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Miaomiao and Chu Qingzhou were stunned.

"What do you mean?" Shen Miaomiao shrugged her shoulders, not understanding why Gu Sheng said this.

I saw Gu Sheng smile:

"I mean, rather than hiring experienced industry elites who have changed jobs many times,"

"Why don't we cultivate a team of descendants that belong to the company?"

Descendants?

The two people across the table looked at each other.

Chu Qingzhou asked, "What does Director Gu mean to recruit new people?" ”

"Yes,"

Gu Sheng nodded:

"I would rather bring a new team than those so-called 'industry elites'."

Gu Sheng's consideration can be said to be very thoughtful.

What is this place?

Parallel worlds.

Specifically, it is a parallel world where game creativity is poor and game genres are solidified.

Gaming is an art industry full of creativity.

And the so-called 'elites' in this world are nothing more than a group of mechanical laborers who cannot break free from the shackles of fixed thinking.

Seeing the success of Shuttle in the Line of Fire, they decided that the shooter could only put the crosshair in the middle of the screen, fix the HP at 100, and target the bomb defuse.

When they saw the success of Ultimate Speed, they decided that the driving game should only be racing, the car must be cool, all kinds of modifications must be in place, and the pursuit of extreme performance must be pursued.

I don't know!

The shooting of firearms can also be realistic, the breathing and recovering can also speed up the pace of the game, and the goal of the game does not have to be to stare at the bomb that has been defused 10,000 times.

Driving games don't have to be racing, the selected vehicles can also be heavy trucks, and those scenery that is ignored in the race can also allow players to experience the beauty of relaxation and pleasure.

There are many, many games that Gu Sheng will launch in the future.

He hopes that his game production team can open their minds and try their best to understand the attributes of the ninth art of the game, instead of forever limiting their eyes to "whether this game makes money", "this game is not mainstream", and "whether there is a market for this game".

Games are boring, after all, they are essentially made up of 0s and 1s, and they are strings of boring code.

At the same time, the game is also wonderful, because in the countless combinations of 0 and 1, there is the sunset scenery of the Alps, the majesty of Norse mythology, the blood boiling of the hero's salvation, and the human thinking of breaking through the fog to get a glimpse of the truth.

This is the game that Gu Sheng loves.

"So I applied to the company to try out two of my friends, and they still have the same passion for creativity in the games industry as I do."
