4 Chapter 4
With the impact he received in just a few minutes, Jiang Qiubai felt that he needed to spend his whole life healing.
His mentality also changed from "let me see what else the original owner can make" to "Okay, don't say it, I know, so be it." ”
In this case, Jiang Qiubai even felt that saying that he was crossing would make the remaining employees feel more at ease.
Of course, that's what he thought, and he didn't dare to announce such a strange thing in public.
"Boss?" Lao Liu also knew that what he said just now was tantamount to revealing Jiang Qiubai's shortness, but there was no way, he was so outrageous before.
Jiang Qiubai rubbed his forehead and decisively changed the topic: "It's okay, let's think about how to use these existing materials first." ”
He glanced at the time: "Director Liu, you go and help the employees who are about to leave pack up their things first." After they are gone, ask the remaining employees to bring their usual work materials to the conference room for a short meeting. ”
Yes, don't look at this studio, the scale is not large, but although the sparrow is small, all the facilities in it are complete, Jiang Qiubai also spent a lot of money to rent it for decoration before, and it is also very arrogant to rent it for five years.
I didn't think I would be able to do it.
Although this kind of wonderful self-confidence makes people want to complain, it is also Jiang Qiubai's confidence that he can change a new game after paying his salary.
"Okay." Lao Liu didn't talk much, and only honestly followed the instructions.
After sending Lao Liu away, Jiang Qiubai turned on the computer and checked the information related to the games in this world, while brainstorming in his heart, thinking about how to use these game materials.
In fact, it's not difficult to say.,Although the original owner is outrageous.,But there's actually no problem with the general framework of the whole game.,You just need to modify the reward mechanism.,Change the clothes to send weapon skins.,Plus the right plot.,Add a novice guide.,It can also be made into a fps game without success.
But it's only limited to no merit - a successful listing is not a big problem, but the revenue is not easy to say.
After all, fps games are not popular even when PC (computer) games occupy most of the country, and they are a relatively niche game type.
Not to mention in this world where VR technology has matured.
Yes, this is also a point that Jiang Qiubai is more confused about.
It's strange to say, there is almost no difference between other things in this world and the world where Jiang Qiubai was originally located, only games, or electronic technology, as if they were opened, running all the way, in just a few years, VR, AR technology has developed maturely, and there is even gossip that holographic technology has begun a round of testing.
In stark contrast to this, it is the development of the game in this world -
Before Jiang Qiubai, the king X who made a lot of money in the world, the glory, the X god, the light X, etc., had never appeared in this world.
Even in the world's monthly game rankings, the top of the list is "The Legend of the Ming Heroes" - a buyout stand-alone game.
It's not that anyone is hindering the development of games, in fact, most people in this world have a tolerant attitude towards games, thinking that games are used to relax after class and work, and even give games the reputation of "ninth art".
The state is also actively supportive, and has also set up a special committee to review games, formulate rankings, maintain fairness, and support newcomers.
In this context, the development of game technology here has reached the platinum level, but the design level of most game companies is still at the bronze level - the current popularity is basically single-player or MMORPG (role-playing) games.
Most of the revenue of the games here comes from the point cards that players recharge and the cost of buying out the game.
…… Well, that's probably why people aren't against gaming, after all, it doesn't seem to cost much to play games.
What a conscientious game dealer.
Jiang Qiubai sighed.
It's a pity that he came from a world where game companies are trying to get money out of players' pockets, and now he is very short of money.
So the only thing in his mind is how to make the maximum profit with the minimum cost.
At most, while attracting players to krypton, it also raises the player's game experience and happiness when krypton.
A little conscience, but not much.
After understanding the general form of the development of games in this world, Jiang Qiubai focused on the game experience of the new game.
Only when the players have fun and have fun will they willingly go to krypton.
And when it comes to the game experience, the game left by the original owner, in addition to the scene, the most outstanding thing should be the design of the sense of blow in the game.
It is also commonly known as the "feel" by players.
This advantage can be put into new games.
Feeling of impact......
In a flash of inspiration, the advertising words that had brainwashed countless netizens came to mind, and Jiang Qiubai's eyes lit up and he had an idea.
Lao Liu's execution is very strong, and it didn't take long for everyone to come to the conference room.
Jiang Qiubai had been waiting inside a few minutes earlier, and after everyone sat down, he didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "I think you all know the recent situation in the studio, and you can choose to stay, I thank you very much." ”
Jiang Qiubai continued: "After the new game is released, I will take out 10% of the profit of the month as a bonus and distribute it to you. ”
With the benefits said and done, the next step is the requirements.
"It's just that before that, I need your active cooperation, hurry up, and strive to make a new game by the end of this month." Jiang Qiubai gave a reason: "We need to return the funds quickly, and the longer it drags on, the more bad it will be for us." ”
It is now the beginning of the month, and it will only be ten or twenty days before the end of the month.
Jiang Qiubai's words undoubtedly implied that their happy life of getting off work at the end of the day was over.
Xiao Yang, who said the wrong thing before and was anxious to make amends, took the lead again: "No problem boss, I will live in the company before the new game is made!" ”
As soon as these words came out, no matter what others thought in their hearts, they also echoed on their faces: "That's it, for the sake of the new game, it's okay to work overtime." ”
"From now on, the company will be my home."
"I'll bring the cover over tomorrow and put it on the floor."
"I'll have to talk to my wife first, but it should be fine."
Adhering to the psychology of "coming here", none of the six employees who stayed behind objected, only Lao Liu, who had become a family, hesitated to ask his family first.
"If it's inconvenient for Director Liu, you can go back early." Jiang Qiubai said softly: "I haven't recruited a new financial yet, I will record all the overtime, and I will pay three times the overtime pay after the new game comes out." ”
This condition, together with the bonus mentioned earlier, is not unfavorable.
It's just that it's all built on the success of the new game, so what if the new game fails?
These are just blank checks.
Everyone only thought that this was another new cake painted by Jiang Qiubai, and agreed with a smile, but no one took it to heart.
It's not the first time I've eaten bread, and whoever believes it is stupid.
Only Lao Liu seriously thought about whether to apply with his daughter-in-law, and he also lived in the company.
After all, triple overtime pay is really tempting.
Once the most important point is settled, the rest goes a lot smoother.
Jiang Qiubai had a general understanding of the progress of the original game and the available materials left behind, and at the same time took stock of his current position.
Among the people who remained, there were still one or two people in the positions of programming, development, and numerical planning, which was enough to support the new game.
The art is all gone, but it's not a big problem, there are still a lot of original art materials that can be used, and Jiang Qiubai originally wanted to outsource the follow-up scenes directly.
He doesn't have high requirements for these, and the price of outsourcing is naturally not high.
With a rough arrangement in his mind, Jiang Qiubai estimated that it was almost time to get off work, and was ready to let them enjoy the taste of getting off work on time on the last day of the month: "It's almost, let's talk about the new game we want to do at the end." ”
At the mention of this, everyone was visibly excited.
Most of them are fresh graduates except Lao Liu, and the reason why they will be fooled by the original owner again and again is that in addition to the attractive salary, there is also the original owner's constant emphasis on "will definitely make a popular game"
They chose this major because of the love in their hearts, and now is the time to make a big difference.
Who doesn't want to be a hit as soon as they graduate and make their first game?
What a face-saving way to say this!
It's a pity that I met someone unladylike, and when I came to such a company, I saw that the future was hopeless, who knew that the boss suddenly wanted to change his sex, became a normal person, and was ready to start playing games again.
This rekindled the faint flame in their hearts.
"What new game is the boss going to change to? Is it still fps-like? ”
"It seems like everybody is making VR or mobile games right now."
"The cost of VR is too high, we definitely can't do it, but maybe we can try mobile games?"
"It's just that mobile games don't have such high requirements for graphics, which can save some budget."
The crowd was gossiping with advice.
This is also the mainstream view of game companies at present.
VR technology in this world has developed and matured in an all-round way, and major game companies have either made enough efforts to develop VR games, or they have chosen to deepen their efforts in mobile games with a wider audience.
PC games are basically only available to newcomers who are just starting out in the industry and are ready to get started — after all, they are neither as realistic as VR games, nor as convenient as mobile games, so they don't have a large audience.
But Jiang Qiubai just took a fancy to this.
It doesn't matter if you don't have a large audience.
With precise targeting, the game doesn't need to have a large audience, as long as it can cost money.
Tapping his fingertips lightly on the desktop, Jiang Qiubai's eyes moved to the computer, pointed to the advertising webpage that popped up on the screen, and said to everyone: "What we are going to do this time is a web game."
He has thought of the advertising words -
