Berg finally walked out of Lin Muchen's office with a confused look on his face.

He remembered that he was here to discuss cooperation, but why was he suddenly about to be acquired?

But the conditions offered by Chenxing Technology are quite attractive.

After the wholly-owned acquisition, Carson changed its name to Chenxing Technology North America Branch and was fully responsible for the operation of the Xinghai platform and all Chenxing Technology software in North America.

In other words, they will be equivalent to the headquarters of Chenxing Technology in North America.

Although Chenxing Technology does not have a good reputation now, even though it is just a piece of cake that smells delicious, it is not actually eaten.

But Berg admitted that he was moved.

A company's regional headquarters always sounds much more impressive than a small operating company.

Again, although Chenxing Technology is currently only a small company with little reputation.

But in life, isn’t it all about gambling?

Besides, the financial backers behind them are impatient and will definitely be very happy to get rid of this hot potato.

Berg declined Lin Muchen's invitation to have dinner and hurriedly caught the last flight.

He is going to persuade the sponsor and Kuttner.

What just puzzled him was that Lin Muchen asked him to help find a game cracking team called "Ant Nest"?

I don’t know what the future new boss is thinking.

......

Lin Muchen didn't know what Berg was thinking.

As for the Anthill team...he really wants to recruit people.

If a cracked game can recruit a mature talent team that can complete localization, then in the long run, the deal is quite worthwhile.

After settling the foreign affairs, he summoned the members of Lingmei Studio together.

"First of all, congratulations to everyone for your hard work. The popularity of the game is obvious to all. At its peak, the number of people online at the same time exceeded 50,000, and game sales are still rising!"

"Bah bang bang..." Everyone applauded.

Some people shout "boss cowhide"!

"Don't belittle yourself. This is everyone's credit. I couldn't make "This War of Mine" by myself."

After the joke, Lin Muchen said seriously: "However, we can't rest on our laurels, we still have to play games."

Lu Luoxin's eyes lit up: "Boss, what is our next game? Is it the survival and construction game you mentioned before?"

Lin Muchen nodded: "In order not to increase the difficulty for you, let's make a 2.5D survival game step by step. I named it "Famine"."

Everyone was stunned.

"Don't Starve? Does it sound like a game that you can't eat enough?"

Lin Muchen laughed: "In a sense, that's true. Let me briefly introduce the gameplay..."

The background story of "Don't Starve" is very simple. It is the story of an adventurer's survival in a strange continent full of magic and science.

The gameplay is also very simple, just collect various materials, make various things, explore various maps, and fight various monsters...

But as an open-world stand-alone game, it does not lack gameplay depth. Whether it is a variety of imaginative Easter eggs or the fighting skills of "hit two and retreat one" and "hit three and retreat one", this game is

It’s not as simple as it seems.

For example, with the spider monsters in the game, experts can clear the level 3 spider lair without any damage, but novices will find it difficult to defeat the level 1 spider lair.

There are also groups of wild dogs that appear every once in a while, which is a nightmare for countless novice players.

Moreover, the game adopts an open world with no guidance at all. Players can do whatever they want. "Pick the fruits and pull out the weeds" is a true portrayal of countless new players.

In general, "Don't Starve" is almost the pinnacle of 2.5D games. From 2013 to the present, it is still loved by countless players.

Unlike "This War of Mine", "Don't Starve" has a slightly complex combat system, which requires the production team to pay attention to numerical adjustment to ensure that it is within a reasonable range.

After Lin Muchen's explanation, everyone finally understood it, but Lu Luoxin still hesitated a little on one point: "There is no guidance? Is this really okay?"

Even "This War of Mine" only provides as few guidelines as possible, not none at all.

Without guidance, how do players know what to do?

Lin Muchen shook his head: "Having no guidance is one of the fun things about "Don't Starve". Players can do whatever they want and explore the world at will. If guidance tasks are added, it would be superfluous."

"Okay, I'll listen to you... Do you have a draft plan? We can start work immediately." Lu Luoxin asked impatiently.

Other members of the production team are also gearing up, looking like they are going to do something big.

After all, "This War of Mine" became a hit online, which gave Lingmei Studio a lot of confidence.

"Here's the plan, but don't rush into it yet. The painting style of "Don't Starve" is a bit... weird. In short, it is far from the realistic style of "This War of Mine". It tests the artist's imagination more, which is just right.

It also gives our newly established art department an opportunity to exercise and test."

In fact, weird doesn't fully describe it. Perhaps the word "weird" is more appropriate.

The proportions of the character's head and body are unbalanced, the eyes are empty, and the composition lines are rough, which makes people feel chilly. This style of painting is not acceptable to everyone, but it is undeniable that it brings more fun to the game.<

/p>

Lin Muchen paused and then said: "If you can make this game perfectly and meet my standards, no matter what the market performance is, our next game will be your unfinished pixel game."

"So, come on!"

......

"Chi——"

The champagne bubbles are bursting, and the air is filled with the smell of "victory".

"Dad, your trick of finding someone to make pirated games is really great, why didn't I think of it?" Yang Tong smiled and said as he approached Yang Tao.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

According to their news, pirated copies of "This War of Mine" have become popular overseas. Although the game has received continuous praise, it has not brought any revenue to Chenxing Technology.

The reason why pirated games spread so quickly is not only because the games are so popular in China, which arouses the itch of countless foreigners, but also the news that Chenxing Technology is at odds with two major game operators has also added fuel to the fire of pirated games.

.

Now even if Chenxing Technology turns around and tries to develop overseas markets, it probably won’t have any good results.

What's more, according to their investigation, the cracked version of "This War of Mine" has a tendency to penetrate into the country.

In other words, the domestic sales of "This War of Mine" may not be guaranteed.

"You can think of everything, why don't you come and sit in this seat."

Yang Tao rolled his eyes at him, and then said to Tong Hao: "By the way, how is the game platform going?"

"It's already under development and will be online soon." Tong Hao quickly replied.

"Hurry up and let them finish the domestic version and quickly make the foreign version. The game will also launch an overseas version to open up overseas markets as quickly as possible."

"Understood."

"By the way, Dad, look at how much money "This War of Mine" has made, should we also set up a stand-alone game development department?"

Yang Tong suddenly became eager to try.

Yang Tao frowned, thought for a while, and did not agree: "Don't think about it. Lin Muchen just got lucky. The sustainable profitability of stand-alone games is definitely not as good as online games. If you don't believe it, just wait for his next game to come out."
