The first thing Qing Zhiyuan saw when he saw the new game developed by Condor was-

Isn't this the light of the torch?

But if you look closely, you can see that there is still a big difference, the background world view of Torchlight is a bit more sci-fi, and this game of Condor is full of heavy dark magic style games.

To be precise, it's still the same set of Dungeons & Dragons, with magic, medieval knights, hunters, and so on......

It's just that the painting style is in the American cartoon style, so it will give Qing Zhiyuan a feeling of torchlight.

The color is actually more gaudy and dark.

There are even some places that can be seen borrowing from Marvel and DC.

"What's the premise of this game?" Qing Zhiyuan asked.

Breivik smiled, his face full of confidence, "This game is set in the wizarding world, where humans discover and inherit the power from the abyss of the earth, but after the transition to use, they will become people enslaved by the dark arts, and thus lose their souls.

In the game, we call these monsters Ember Bringers. ”

Ahh......h

Ember Bringer?

Why does this name sound so familiar?

This story shouldn't be written by you, it should be written by the Warcraft team.

"The protagonist group, or the protagonist himself, actually went through the Golden Age, and then sold his soul to the ashes of the abyss, and then after everything he went through, now the protagonist has embarked on the road of finding his soul again."

"That's the story, but overall it's a game of fighting monsters and getting gear. ”

"Huh? This view of the world is interesting. Qing Zhiyuan touched his chin.

Good guys, although history has changed, but your uncle is your uncle, and these guys have come up with such a game after they didn't have Diablo.

Just after listening to the introduction, Qing Zhiyuan already had the urge to experience the game.

In fact, there is a dark shadow in it, but it is different from darkness.

Absolutely.

Qing Zhiyuan originally had a lost psychological burden, feeling that he had robbed other people's games and opportunities, but now it seems that these guys don't care even if they don't make Diablo, because if their brains and strength are placed here, they will always bloom differently.

Overall, it's pretty good, the only thing that surprised Qing Zhiyuan is-

This game called Eternal Ashes is actually a turn-based game.

Should we say that history is full of amazing coincidences?

"Why don't you make this game real-time?" Qing Zhiyuan asked, "I think you can do a game like Diablo." ”

"Really?"

Hearing Qing Zhiyuan's words, a flash of surprise flashed on the faces of the two brothers, who would have thought that the president of Pokeni would be so generous, and he didn't mind others copying their games at all, and even suggested that others make similar appearances?

"Hmmm......"

Several people looked at each other and responded, "Actually, we first set up the game framework when we played the running group, so you can also see that there are many situations in the game where you need to roll the dice to advance the game and fight."

However, halfway through it, I found out that there was a game on the market called Diablo.

After we finished the experience, we all sighed deeply-

That's the game we have in mind. ”

Breivik smiled, "It's also a shame to say, we actually want to make it look like darkness, but how to make it instantaneous, in fact, we don't have any experience at all, and we don't know how to implement it procedurally." ”

"Wait. Are you going to make this game a turn-based game of craps? Qing Zhiyuan gave them a complete surprise.

Pure DND mode?

Or are you the rules of battle of your own design?

"Hmm."

Breivik nodded, then moved the mouse.

By the way, by the way, this game was developed on the PC platform.

"All the actions of the character, including the battle, need to be judged, for example, when fighting monsters, the two sides determine the amount of damage and recovery by the difference in points that appear in the dice rolling.

The stronger the skill you have, the greater the random number that can be thrown.

The more points difference is inflicted, the higher the damage. ”

Sizzle......

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but gasp.

This battle mode sounds like a lot of fun.

"The equipment dropped by monsters is the same, there are some equipment entries that are specifically designed to maximize points, but the skill mechanics that different characters release through points are also different.

Sometimes small points are advantageous.

For example, the [Bloodthirsty Attack] we designed will take damage when the points are small, but it can strengthen the next attack, which means that the negative return is positive.

However, the key to whether the specific effect can be strong enough lies in the player's build, and if the skills and equipment are well built, then the corresponding changes can be achieved.

In fact, we have a combat mode designed around the number of dice points throughout the whole time.

By powering up and acquiring equipment, you can even craft monsters into your own skills. ”

Nani?!

Hearing this, Qing Zhiyuan fell into a deep silence.

This game......

Is it necessary to change to real-time?

Breivik is a genius designer.

"Wait a minute, if that's the case," Qing Zhiyuan quickly changed his words and corrected his mistake, "Please forgive me for my misjudgment and making such a suggestion as an instant system without knowing your gameplay, it is really stupid."

In my opinion, this game mode revolves around the number of dice. ”

"Really?" Brevick and the two brothers looked at Qing Zhiyuan in disbelief.

In the past two days at the electronics exhibition, there have been too many criticisms from players, and Qing Zhiyuan is the first person to give them such a strong affirmation.

What's more, Qing Zhiyuan is still an idol in their minds.

Diablo's producer, Qing Zhiyuan, is a well-deserved genius in real-time games.

At least a few people think so.

And now the famous producer actually says that their game is quite well designed.

Scarford looked at each other and smiled reassuringly.

"Qing, you don't know how much we adore and like you. It's really encouraging and touching to hear such affirmative compliments from your mouth. Breivik said with a smile.

It could be seen from his undulating chest that this man was really excited.

However, in Qing Zhiyuan's view, he has nothing to be proud of as a copyist.

What's more, I actually copied your game.

"You are well-deserved geniuses. A good game designer won't be buried for the sake of time. Qing Zhiyuan sighed.

Several people were even more moved.

What kind of pure and kind soul is this, as a famous producer, can be so humble and praise others......

It made everyone a little confident.

But in the next second, Bulvik said with some difficulty, "But it's a pity, Qing, we may be going bankrupt." There's a lot of money invested in developing a game, a lot more than we think.

We are now participating in the electronics fair to see if any interested buyers are willing to ask for this game.

It's the luck of this game to be bought, but I guess it has nothing to do with us. ”

Several founders glanced at each other, and their expressions all showed a sense of sadness, which seemed to be true.

"The biggest possibility is that no one cares, and it seems that people are not very interested in turn-based games in DND mode, and such games may end up just being reduced to the dust of history.

A game that has not been developed with funds may not even have a name in the history of the game. ”

Huh?!

Qing Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment.

There is such a good thing in the world?!

"The ......," Ching Chi-won hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mr. Bulvik, I appreciate your game, but I like your team even more.

Do you think this will work?

I'll pay for it. ”

Hearing Qing Zhiyuan's words, a touch of astonishment flashed on the faces of several people, followed by a huge sense of joy.

Bulwick exchanged glances with the two brothers, and then sighed, "It would be great if Pokeni bought the game." ”

"Uh-huh." The Scarford brothers nodded in agreement, "Listening to your speech just now, we can know that you are a person who really understands games and loves games, and if "Eternal Ashes" can be handed over to Pokeni for development, it should be this game and our luck."

We believe that your company can develop this game even better. ”

"No, no," Qing Zhiyuan waved his hand again and again, laughing, "I didn't mean that. ”

"I mean—"

He raised his palms and made an inviting gesture to several people.

"I hope to buy your company."

Huh?!

Several people were taken aback, and among these people were Kazuma Takahashi, Qingzhiyuan's own director of operations.

This Nima ......

Less than half an hour after meeting and exchanging, the president was about to buy the other company.

Is the president crazy?!

This company is very inconspicuous no matter how you look at it.

It's right to think about it, how can a well-run company be on the verge of bankruptcy, maybe these people are telling the truth, and people in the Omi region are not interested in the game of DND dice rolling?

Qing Zhiyuan gave him a look.

Is this a general DND play?

If you dig a little deeper into this gameplay, do a good job of the game script, and make the experience sufficient, it will be an epoch-making game product!

What's more, Qing Zhiyuan said that he wanted more than just a game.

It's more important about the team.

With Northern Blizzard, oh no, after the subsidiary of Condor, Pokeni is equivalent to having a foothold in the United States.

Base.

In the future, it will be able to start a spark.

Qing Zhiyuan's brain has actually begun to plan the territory of Pokeni Mi Country Game for a long time, but he has not been able to find a suitable agent before.

Just like Sega's use of Collinsky in the United States, the candidate in Qing Zhiyuan's mind has always been a person who has management skills and can make games at the same time, and loves and understands games.

Understand the local rules, act conveniently, and understand the culture of the United States......

Such a president of the Mi branch is really rare.

Unexpectedly, I was so lucky to meet Condor today.

If this company can be acquired, it is equivalent to eliminating the process of building a new building, and it will be put into use immediately.

What's more, in Qing Zhiyuan's opinion, this "Eternal Ashes" is really a good game.

……

This time, everyone was directly shocked and speechless.

The main reason is that the amount of information is too large, and it is too sudden, if ordinary people run over like Qing Zhiyuan and say that they want to buy the company, Bulvik They will probably think that this person is a liar.

But this is the Chicago Electronics Show.

Qing Zhiyuan is really Qing Zhiyuan, and he is the president of Neon Pokeni Company.

His words still carry quite weight.

What's even worse is that-

Several of them stared at Qing Zhiyuan for a long time, but they didn't see that this person was joking.

It's true.

It's so true.

But it's this seriousness that makes people feel scared.

"Buy our company?" Bulwick asked, confused, "Just for a game?" ”

"No, it's for the people who make games." Qing Zhiyuan laughed.

"It's you who give the game value, there must be a great team behind a good game, and if I buy the game but don't buy the team, it shows that I have no vision."

Qing Zhiyuan said seriously, "Let Condor become a part of Pokeni, I promise, I will never interfere with the games you want to develop, the games are still yours, and all the research and development costs will be borne by the parent company."

As long as you can do a good game. ”

Nani?!

Kazuma Takahashi was stunned.

Crazy, crazy.

The president is completely insane!

It's unheard of to buy a company just because of a game, so where did you see the potential of the other party, president?

Could this company be the next Square Enix?

It is impossible to say whether the product is good or bad without market verification, and in such a situation, buying the other company's company and promising the other party autonomy is like playing a capsule toy machine.

No.

It's better than a capsule toy machine.

At least the gacha opportunity is marked with the type, and there is a guarantee, even if you can't shake the gacha you want, but at least you won't lose.

In the future, I can exchange with other friends or something.

But buying such a big thing as a company, what if condor smashes it in the future, it's unlikely that you want to exchange with others after failure.

That is to say-

Once you buy Condor, then you can only succeed, otherwise it will be a blood loss, president!

……

However, Qing Zhiyuan turned a blind eye to the anxiety passed on by Takahashi Kazuma, and just stared at the condor crowd.

The two brothers, Bulvik and Scarfor, were silent.

I have to say that Qing Zhiyuan is really fat.

And......

This kind of thing, it stands to reason that it should be at the negotiation table, or a dinner, or a slightly more formal occasion, instead of the current situation, where the players around are walking around, and the scene is chaotic, full of all kinds of noisy sounds.

But in such an atmosphere, several people were inexplicably moved.

"We need to go back and discuss this with our colleagues." Bulvik did not reply on the spot, "Although I personally would love to be part of the Pokeni family.

But we are sorry that everyone votes together to make decisions on major matters in our company. ”

"Well, understood, then I look forward to your response."

If you say yes too quickly, it will make both parties feel very burdened, right?

Qing Zhiyuan attached the business card with both hands, with Pokeni's address and phone number in Neon.

However, seeing the expressions on the faces of several people, Qing Zhiyuan said that I am bound to win this company.

……
