Chapter 187 Design draft of the new game

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Jiu wanted to slap herself.

In fact, he mentioned this matter before when he was in Warwick, but the person in charge at that time politely rejected him.

The reason is also very simple. At that time, Youlan Studio was not making any money at all, and Warwick was even losing money to support them. This situation was not alleviated until Warwick established a mobile game cooperation with Chenxing.

No matter which industry you are in, "not making money" is the original sin. It is wrong for game studios that do not make money to make money. How can you ask for conditions when it is your turn?

Not to mention that after making money by transforming Chenxing's stand-alone games into mobile games, the person in charge basically gave up on their idea of ​​developing their own games, and instead let them focus on being "OEMs" for Chenxing.

After all, Warwick is a high-tech company, its main business is mobile phone business, and games are just supplementary. In other words, it is not about making big money, just protecting capital.

In fact, Youlan Studio is in a similar situation now as it was in Warwick at that time: it has received company resources and financial support, but has not produced results yet. The only League of Legends mobile game produced is still a product of Hansong Studio. Although it is in the process of mobile gaming

In the process, I was praised by the young master, but the market results are still unknown.

The difference from before is that they gave it to Chenxing almost for free, and they did not let Chenxing spend too much on the initial investment. Moreover, Chenxing is a company mainly engaged in games, and the level of attention they received was the same as when they were in Warwick.

Completely different.

But despite this, making this request rashly seems a bit... too much?

I looked at Lin Muchen, and I didn't see satisfaction in his eyes. Instead, I saw a trace of... surprise?

"Cough cough cough..." Wu Fayou almost choked, "What?"

"New game? No design draft yet?"

Looking at Wu Fa, whose eyes were widening anxiously, I smiled: "I said that to tell him two things."

Seeing Lin Muchen's expression of sudden enlightenment, I suddenly realized your question: This design draft is the product of two years later.

"You...you didn't expect that no one would remember what you said a few years later," Lin Muchen laughed and laughed, "and you remember what you said at the time, even though it caused some discussion

, but the producers did not pay too much attention to the bad image..."

I'm very impressed with this complex but depthless game.

Su Jiu said seriously: "But your words have brought a lot of inspiration to you who are about to graduate. Relying on the concept of asymmetrical confrontation games described in this paragraph, as well as the concept of mecha warfare,

Design logic, you created that design draft with the attitude of giving it a try."

After a long time, Lin Muchen put down the design draft and said sincerely: "Yes, that design draft is quite boring..."

Wu Fa was taken aback by my reaction, but he still explained slowly: "Do you remember that a few years later, when you were talking to a reviewer offline, you revealed a game type: asymmetric confrontation.

Competitive games."

Su Jiu took a deep breath, stood up suddenly, said "Go get the design draft" and left.

In other words, only industrialized products require so few restrictions. For the game industry that requires imagination, those restrictions are undoubtedly a kind of restriction, and that restriction will in turn cause the games made by the producers to be different from their own.

Little different than imagined.

I just said it out of emotion, but it was also true.

At most, according to Lin Muchen's philosophy, a truly successful game should first make its creator hate it.

"The backend of this game is actually Lingmei Studio and the game that was exhibited at the Top 100 Game Show as an independent studio after being acquired by you. And you told him very responsibly that at that time

There are people interested in our booth.”

"You know what happened before. You were hired by Warwick, and the design draft has been gathering dust for two years."

Just when my soul was wandering, Su Jiu ran back panting, holding a stack of paper in her hand that was considered thick - but also considered thin.

Why does it have nothing to do with me?

"Bring it here? Take a look." Lin Muchen consciously picked up the water glass and took a sip of water.

"Seventh, does Chenxing have any rules about 'only those who make money are not qualified to put forward their own ideas'? There is no reason to listen to anyone, and listen to whose ideas are bad. To hell with these bullshit unspoken rules!"

Su Jiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Lin Muchen's memory suddenly went back to the time when he had just traveled to that world. Before the mecha battle of "Reverse War" was completed and offline, I did explain the characteristics of that game type from the Internet.
p>

Is it still possible to put things two years later into the present?

"A year ago, you should be very vague about what that game was like."

I didn’t have the time to comment: “You also know that you don’t have any achievements yet, and you can’t just change the design draft first, and then wait until the game you make makes money, and you are not qualified to apply for a new game...

..."

If you want to make a game that is both bad and popular, there should be few "rules".

Lin Muchen nodded, reached out to pick up the design draft, and read it carelessly from beginning to end.

Lin Muchen stared at me for a while and suddenly asked: "Does he still remember Terraria?"

Wu Fa nodded and put the design draft in front of me: "The outside part is not something you designed outside the school, and the most basic gameplay of the game actually has nothing to do with you..."<

/p>

How can a game that even its creators hate be disgusted by the players?

It seems that Lin Muchen’s words just now have deeply touched me.

"First, you are their most solid front shield. If they are afraid of a bad game, they will change it. He asked Lu Luoxin himself whether Terraria's backend was not that bad, but it turned out to be a big one.

Hot item?"

Su Jiu just sat across from her, quietly taking a deep breath to relieve the nervousness in her cerebellum, but she could still hear the slow beating of her heart.

Lin Muchen blinked and thought again and again: "How do you know that?"

Just like when making "Kitchen", I definitely hesitated to ask Lingmei Studio to abide by some "rules" and "authority" and follow my own design draft plan. The game will be successful, and it will also get a bad reputation.

But the sales volume may be a bit lower, and the honor of being reported by the official media for the previous sequel is gone.

Damn it, must I have thrown it out of the file pile again?

Su Jiu was stunned and knew that Lin Muchen had misunderstood: "That is what you are writing now, but it is a design draft that you and your friends wrote when you just graduated. I wrote two design drafts when I graduated. I originally wanted to

As soon as I found the owner, I tried to find ways to win project approval for them. As a result, the game produced by one of the design drafts made Warwick lose money, and the other design draft was stillborn..."
Chapter completed!
