Otherworldly Architect

This year's Game of the Year Award did not fall in the sixth-star province, but was awarded to an established company in the third-star province.

For some reason, many people secretly looked at Blue Star's table.

However, they found that the most important chief designer of Ming quickly left Blue Star's desk.

The awards ceremony was over quickly, and the attendees all headed to the next hall in twos and threes to continue the dinner as usual.

And Mingyan was called out by the deputy chief of Tulong Baodao.

The two were talking in the men's lounge, like a spies connection.

The deputy chief had an embarrassed expression on his face and said, "Boss, when you were away just now, I received a lot of business cards..."

Clearly.

This is the first time that Tulong Baodao Studio has come to the award ceremony of the League A. There are many people who want to know it, of course.

It's just that the number of business cards is a bit large this time.

The deputy chief teacher took out a large amount from his pocket.

I couldn't grasp it with one hand, and after putting it on the sink, I put it in again, and took out the second one.

Clearly: "..."

The deputy chief teacher said: "This is Boss Li of Jinhui. He said that he would buy the copyright of the Iron Horse Binghe to make a big movie, based on him and his alliance;"

"This is the investment boss Thomas. He wants to invest in the next project. Of course, I have politely declined. But this boss still has a lot of marketing resources behind it, so I accepted the business card."

"And this is the sheep boss of Dingyifeng. He wants to invest in us to do a dragon slaughter carnival..."

Clearly: "..."

The deputy chief continued to be embarrassed: "What he means is that the Dragon Saber is fully capable of competing with Bluestar in some category markets, there is no need to stagger the schedules all the time, you can try to make a big IP first and learn from Bluestar. The practice of an annual carnival...and then finally...replace...Bluestar."

It's an ambitious plan.

However,

Ming Yan: Why should I replace myself =.=

The deputy chief said these things, mainly to remind Ming Yan to get to know these bosses more.

Blue Star's business has already gone to the next-door Galaxy Empire, but Dragon Sabre Studio still focuses on the game market of Sixth Star Province.

Now this banquet is an excellent opportunity, and he is very eager to expand his sphere of influence.

Ming Yan naturally understood it, and said, "I know what I know."

After about ten minutes of effort, the deputy chief took a step forward and stepped out of the lounge.

Then Ming Yan stuffed the two business cards left in his hand into his wallet, and saw a person walking in outside, and he closed the door by the way.

Ming Yan: "Mr. Zhuo?"

The person who came was Zhuo Yu, the chief designer of the other side's team, who was a friend of letters.

Zhuo Yu watched as Lan Xing's Chief Ming walked in and Tu Long's Deputy Chief came out.

"..."

Zhuo Yu came in and looked at Ming Yan with exploratory eyes for a while, and in a very determined tone, he tentatively said: "The chief designer of the Dragon Slayer Sword is also you."

Mingyan was taken aback, but immediately thought that Zhuo Yu might have overheard a few words outside the door.

Thinking of the last incident, he believed more in Zhuo Yu's character, so he simply nodded and admitted.

"Well, it's me." Ming Yan said, "But this news hasn't been leaked, I hope you can keep it a secret."

The first time to take the initiative to explode the horse.

Ming Yan was still a little embarrassed, and reached out to touch his nose.

Zhuo Yu took a deep breath: "...So it turns out, it's really... surprising. No wonder there are two geniuses in the sixth star province at the same time, but you are actually playing two roles. Blue Star Studio has both fame and fortune. Take it, and the Tulong Baodao studio puts interests first - Master Ming, you really made a big chess game."

Ming Yan said: "The earliest I did Dragon Slayer was because the funds for the new project were not enough, so I had no choice but to do that type of mobile game. Later, the design of Dragon Slayer Sword was mainly to explore some new charging models. Bar."

Zhuo Yu thought about it for a while, and then sighed a little, and said, "No matter how much you charge, it's still not easy to make the ideal game."

The two young and promising designers sat in the lounge for a while.

Zhuo Yu's family background is average, and his status today is entirely dependent on his own talent and hard work, as well as a little luck.

He is completely different from Ming Yan. The latter is able to achieve prosperity by relying on talent alone, and he has never encountered setbacks in his career.

Different circumstances gave the two chief designers different understandings of the game industry.

Zhuo Yu did not guard against the clear statement, but said frankly: "The situation this year is very bad. The top management of the alliance is going to stop the project on the other side of the game, saying that there is a certain order problem. Starting from the second half of this year, you should I also feel that the game version number is tightened, and not every project can be released smoothly."

Ming Yan is a little embarrassed.

The Blue Star Studio was coddled by the Sixth Star Provincial Government!

What is the version number?

Isn't it possible to take the application form and send it to the government website, and then wait two days to get it?

Sometimes the new project has been tested internally in the studio, and then online players start to rush for updates, and then the blog account of the government department will suddenly say: [When will Blue Star apply for a version number? click reminder.jpg]

And Tulong Baodao Studio, too, was hardly saddened by this issue.

Everyone is secretly speculating about this issue.

Tu Long doesn't have Blue Star's tax deduction policy, and paying taxes to the government is a huge amount every year.

Moreover, this studio is quite low-key. It doesn’t promote anything except its own new games. The official website is clean and refreshing. The chief designer doesn’t even bother to blog.

Just looking at the face of a big taxpayer, it will not be difficult for such a well-behaved studio.

So this topic is doomed to go on.

Ming Yan hurriedly changed the subject before revealing the contents and said, "This year, your "Legend of the Snow Clan" seems to have a very different style. Are you trying to transform into a new theme?"

After Zhuo Yu heard the words, he smiled, then thought of something, and became helpless again, saying: "... This is the result of a compromise with the cruise ship. This year's policy and market are not good, and the channel will increase after the cold winter. already."

This clear statement is a little known. After all, Xia Cheng is still holding the position of director in the IPP house.

The national policy is to affect the whole body. After the version number is tightened, the overall number of games has not had time to start to decline. When the capital market sees the wrong direction, the investment grade begins to drop wildly.

Even Blue Star's loan amount has been slightly reduced by major banks, not to mention the difficulties of other production teams.

And insufficient funds, it is easy to further lead to the difficulty of production of the game, and the life of the producer will become more and more difficult.

It is in this situation that the other team has to accept further capital injection from cruise capital, otherwise the next game project may be stillborn.

The injection of funds also means a huge change in management power. Now Zhuo Yu can no longer be regarded as the highest talker of Bifang Studio.

——He is just a producer and chief designer now.

The team’s management team has undergone a major change of blood. Several plans for the new project “Snow Clan” were handed in and ordered to be revised. After everyone’s performance goals have been adjusted, it is naturally impossible to maintain the original mentality and continue to play the game they want. .

If the monthly turnover does not reach the level of 300 million, everyone will have to deduct bonuses and wages.

How is it possible to be free from the world? How can it be possible to remain calm?

Some of the designers are already holding the case study of the Dragon Saber! How many people now see players, no longer feel friendly, but are thinking about emptying their wallets?

But Zhuo Yu couldn't blame them.

Because if they don't do this, their own survival will be under pressure.

So far, the financial power of Bifang Studio has been completely abandoned.

And two of the three founders have left, and only Zhuo Yu, the chief designer, is still gritting his teeth and insisting on continuing to make a conscientious game under the strict performance evaluation.

It's not easy.

This year's "Legend of the Snow Clan" was nominated, which surprised many people, and naturally couldn't compete for the final prize.

"The other side is no longer the other side of the past."

Zhuo Yu laughed at himself lightly: "It's just that the players don't know anything, and they think the other side is still a golden signboard. Now I'm the last stumbling block on the cruise, and it won't be long before they start to crowd me out."

Ming Yan hesitated for a moment, not sure if he should speak now.

In fact, he is also willing to invest in the other side's team, which must be able to alleviate some financial pressure.

But on second thought, the founder has left, and Zhuo Yu is disheartened. This is just a temporary solution, not the root cause.

"Stop talking so much." Zhuo Yu smiled and said, "The next game may be the last game I want to make, called "Lone Light". If there is a chance, next year's League A awards ceremony, Maybe you were watching me go up."

"Okay, it's settled." Ming Yan said.

Ming Yan, who walked out of the lounge, did not know that Zhuo Yu was still sitting there for a long time, stood up and turned around twice.

The calm, calm, rational, and wise expression just now disappeared.

He lay back on the sofa and started doing frantic crunches, accompanied by thoughts.

"...Fuck there is such a genius in the world!!"

"One game a year, Lao Tzu has already lost his hair that has been exhausted! This man plays two games a year! One Blue Star game won the prize and he was soft, and the other dragon slaying game made a lot of money... This is so amazing. A person? A person?!"

"Thief God, you're not fair! Why do some people get what they want and succeed in everything they do!!!!"

"When I go back, I have to worry about copyright, investment, new partners, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ?"

"...No, I'm still so jealous! Calm! Zhuo Yu, calm down! The winner in life like this must be single! Definitely single! Yes, how is it possible to play two games a year? Time to fall in love!"

"Huh... calm down..."

"Ah, but I'm also single!"
