Game Empire: Starting from Driving Crazy Players

Chapter 155 System Upgrade!Game Insights!
Time flies, in a blink of an eye, three months have passed.

During these three months, many things happened.

On the Internet, the release of "Overcooked Kitchen" has brought a very severe emotional test to countless players.

Many couples broke up after playing this game.

Good brothers, good friends, because of playing this game, they fight each other.

For a while, the prestige among the players of "Overcooked Kitchen" spread widely, and even many interesting memes were created by the players.

Like what.
"Want to know what kind of person is the Ta next to you? Welcome to Overcooked Kitchen!"

"The scumbag swears to pamper you? Just try "Overcooked Kitchen" and you'll know if it's true or not!"

"You say you're true love? Send me the all-three-star clearance record of Overcooked Kitchen, crab."

"."

All sorts of interesting jokes.

The ridicule of the players, coupled with a wave of reports from various media, the popularity of the game "Overcooked Kitchen" is vaguely showing the momentum of going out of the circle.

At this time, the comments of the players in the game comment area of ​​"Overcooked Kitchen",

Also from the very beginning, angry and cursing,
became.
"I heard that you are the hanging game that can break no matter how good a relationship is? Chunyilu Hu Ge and Huo Huajian come to challenge!"

"send!"

"Ten years of love, couples who are about to get married, come and challenge!"

"Nice. Divided."

"."

"Overcooked Kitchen" is so popular.

Naturally, it also brought countless traffic and popularity to Huanshi and Gamer platforms.

Back then, when Hui Ye and the major game companies targeted Huanshi, Gamer chose to support Huanshi under a lot of pressure and a big gamble on the future.

And now, Fantasy World has also passed the game of "Overcooked Kitchen" and its excellent results,

Gave the Gamer platform a satisfactory answer.

Because of the game "Overcooked Kitchen", Fantasy World originally chose to release it on the Gamer platform. Therefore, the Gamer platform has gained a huge profit just from the game's share of revenue.

Such a high popularity, such a high heat.

It's almost a sure-fire business,

Naturally, there are many other game platforms that contact Zhang Yi in various ways, wanting to obtain authorization for the launch of "Overcooked Kitchen".

But Zhang Yi naturally refused all of them without even thinking about it.

Back then when the fantasy world was in trouble, you guys ran faster than the other, lest you would be targeted by other companies for supporting the fantasy world, but now, seeing that the fantasy world is getting better, you want to get close to the fantasy world again?

Sorry,

I reject!
Of course, Zhang Yi can understand that these game platforms did not choose to support Fantasy World at the beginning.

After all, the living environment of these small game platforms is very poor. Once they are suppressed by major game companies, they will almost die. In order to protect themselves, it is indeed understandable.

but,
I understand you, but it doesn't mean I can let the past go.

For Huanshi, the final profits that can be obtained from the listing authorization of these small game platforms are actually very limited.

In addition, Huanshi is not as short of money as before.

The existence of "League of Glory" can bring a steady stream of profits to Fantasy World. Although now with the expansion of the staff of Fantasy World Studio, the money earned by "League of Glory" is basically spent on the operation of the studio. Down very limited.

However, the explosion of "Overcooked Kitchen" is to provide Huanshi with ample financial guarantee.

For Huanshi's cold rejection attitude, those small platforms also regretted it.

If I had known that this would be the case today, then they would have chosen to support the fantasy world at the beginning!

"Tsk tsk tsk, who would have thought of that?"

"Old Zhang, Dai Gaoyang has now been removed from power by Huiye Game Company, and now Huiye is basically in charge of Dai Gaoyang's father."

Fantasy world, in the chief designer's office.

Zhang Yi and Li Heng were drinking tea.

The sunlight outside the window slanted in. Although it was already winter, the sunshine was still warm. With a sip of hot tea, the day was quite comfortable and comfortable.

When Li Heng thought about what happened some time ago, he also expressed emotion frequently.

"You said that Dai Gaoyang's father is not easy. He was planning to retire slowly, and the company and other things were gradually handed over to Dai Gaoyang."

"Everything is going well in the first place."

"Unexpectedly, Dai Gaoyang came to such a place, and the old man had no choice but to come out of the rivers and lakes again."

last month.

A piece of explosive news came from Huiye Game Company.

Dai Gaoyang was removed from all powers, and all the company's current affairs will be temporarily handed over to his father, who is Kaguya's original chairman.

In other words, Hui Ye took back all the powers that were previously handed over to Dai Gaoyang.

Dai Gaoyang has now become an ordinary person.

This is the most exciting news in the game circle since the release of "Overcooked Kitchen".

After all, Hui Ye, as a leading company in the domestic game circle, has already attracted the attention of many people. Before that, Dai Gaoyang took over the company's affairs in his early twenties, and managed the company in an orderly manner for a long time , known as a genius boy by countless insiders.

In addition, Kaguya's suppression of Fantasy World during that time.

The collision of two flows.

Naturally, it has attracted the attention of countless people.

right now,

Dai Gaoyang's power was taken back, which was equivalent to putting an end to Hui Ye's suppression of Huan Shi.

"If you think about it that way, you're superficial."

Hearing Li Heng's exclamation, Zhang Yi smiled and shook his head:

"If you pay close attention to all the movements of Kaguya in the recent period, you will find that the style of handling things at Kaguya's company has not changed much. That is to say, on the surface, Kaguya Now their chairman is fully in charge, but in fact, Dai Gaoyang is still in charge of all the company's affairs."

"It's just that Dai Gaoyang has retreated from the front of the stage to behind the scenes."

Now that Hui Ye's chairman is getting old and wants to retire as soon as possible, and his son Dai Gaoyang has the ability to manage the company.

Is it the chairman's re-emergence or the power continues to be in the hands of Dai Gaoyang?

all the same.

Li Heng was stunned for a moment. He really hadn't carefully studied Hui Ye's recent movements. Moreover, Hui Ye seemed to have returned to silence recently, and didn't make any moves?

So he asked Zhang Yi suspiciously:

"How did you know?"

After asking,

I saw Zhang Yi took a sip of tea calmly, and then said slowly: "I asked Dai Gaoyang."

Li Heng:.
I couldn't help but start complaining.

If it came out of the question, why don't you just ask the question directly? With so many twists and turns, I thought it was so profound.

But of course he didn't dare to say these words directly, but continued to ask:

"Then, what is the purpose of Dai Gaoyang retreating behind the scenes?"

Li Heng didn't want to mention it.

At the beginning, Dai Gaoyang teamed up with various companies to suppress Huanshi, but changed his mind halfway, so there was a scene where he directed and acted and used public opinion to put pressure on himself.

I thought this matter would end when Kaguya announced that he would no longer suppress Huanshi.

As for Hui Ye's news that Dai Gaoyang was held accountable by all the directors of the company, Li Heng only took it as a reason for Hui Ye to stop suppressing Huanshi, a step up.

Unexpectedly,
In the end, Dai Gaoyang actually put himself in it.

Although it was said that Li Heng and Dai Gaoyang had only met each other a few times and could be regarded as an acquaintance, but they were both children of wealthy families in the game circle, and they knew each other relatively well.

Li Heng knew very well that Dai Gaoyang was definitely not the kind of person who did things without calculating the consequences.

Hear this,

Zhang Yibai glanced at Li Heng and shook his head helplessly.

"Now I know why your family never considered letting you take over the Gamer company."

Li Heng was taken aback, and immediately said, "Of course it's because I don't like it."

"Do not."

Zhang Yi shook his finger:
"It's because you are too insensitive to these things. If Gamer falls into your hands, I'm afraid it will be late."

"Tch, even if my dad begs for it, I won't hesitate to ask for it."

The two are already very familiar.

Teasing each other, bad mouth and so on, they don't take it to heart.

"Did you forget that I told you that Kaguya wanted to integrate all the resources of the game circle as much as possible?"

Li Heng frowned, quickly remembered, and asked suspiciously: "I remember, but what does this have to do with Dai Gaoyang's dismissal?"

Zhang Yi said:
"Hui Ye's future will definitely be handed over to Dai Gaoyang, this is the premise of everything."

"And since Hui Ye wants to integrate resources now, it is inevitable to suppress other game companies, or even let them go bankrupt and withdraw from the stage."

"In this case, there are three advantages for Dai Gaoyang to retreat behind the scenes and let his father preside over the overall situation on the surface."

"Firstly, Dai Gaoyang's father is getting older, does he still have the energy and ambition to integrate resources that he had when he was young, from the outside world, it may not be."

"This also reduces the chance of Kaguya being exposed in the early stages of the plan."

"Secondly, Dai Gaoyang's retreat behind the scenes reduces the attention of the outside world to him, and his work is less likely to be exposed. The benefits are the same as the previous one."

"Third, even if things develop out of control in the future, his father will be responsible for the sky falling. As Hui Ye's future successor, Dai Gaoyang can still take over the company without being greatly affected. This is a guarantee hope."

Hearing Zhang Yi's analysis, Li Heng probably understood.

did not expect,
Dai Gaoyang's retreat behind the scenes has so many profound meanings.

But, thinking about it, Li Heng suddenly clicked his lips again, and said with a smile: "Then his father is not easy, at such an old age, he still has to come out to help him take the blame."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Heng was taken aback suddenly.

It reminded me of another major event that happened recently.

"Hey?"

"According to you, the decline of Tianci Game Company in the past two days was not due to the operation problems of Tianci Game Company, but because of Dai Gaoyang's secret actions?"

Just two days ago.

Tianci Game Company, the former leading company in the game circle, suffered from operational problems and the pressure of public opinion caused by the release of the game.

Completely fell out of the level of the top game company, and fell into a slump.

Even recently, in Tianci Game Company, there have been frequent news of layoffs and various assets of the company have been sold off, showing signs of imminent bankruptcy.

Originally, Li Heng didn't see anything unusual about the poor management of Tianci Game Company. Even all the media on the Internet and the players didn't see anything extraordinary about it.

As a game company that constantly sells feelings, Tianci has not innovated for more than ten years, and has long been disgusted and disgusted by players.

can continue to this day,

It all depends on his background as the number one game company back then, he sighed
Even if it goes bankrupt now, in the eyes of the majority of players, it is a very reasonable thing to do.

However, Li Heng heard what Zhang Yi said now.

I just felt that something was wrong.

Hui Ye wants to integrate resources, and Dai Gaoyang retreats behind the scenes. Then, Tianci will not go bankrupt sooner or later, but at this time, it is about to go bankrupt?

What a coincidence!

"Ah."

"Tianci's bankruptcy should be caused by Dai Gaoyang behind the scenes."

When the two of them said this,
There was a knock on the office door, and then Wu Xiaohua walked in from the door, wearing a suit and looking good.

"Mr. Zhang, the latest news!"

"Tianci Game Company has unconditionally transferred the 'Aurora Game Platform' under their name to Huiye Game Company in order to continue breathing!"

Wu Xiaohua's current mood is both happy and complicated.

On the one hand, no matter how bad Tianci Game Company is, it is after all the place where he has struggled for most of his life.

And also reached the top position,
Seeing that his old club was about to go bankrupt, he naturally felt an indescribable regret.

But after thinking about it, when he thought of the disgusting face of the chairman when he left Tianci, he felt extremely relieved now.

"That guy Zeng Lewen, I'm afraid he's so angry that he wants to kill someone now?"

Wu Xiaohua is glad that she listened to Dai Gaoyang and left Tianci.

I'm also glad that Fantasy World gave me a chance.

Otherwise, he really doesn't know what to do after Tianci goes bankrupt.

On the other hand, in that coffee shop back then, he had completely overheard the conversation between Zhang Yi and Dai Gaoyang, and Dai Gaoyang had said it very clearly back then.

The Aurora game platform under the name of Tianci, Huiye will give it to Huanshi as a gift for cooperation with Huanshi in the future!

And now,
The Aurora game platform is already in Hui Ye's hands.

In other words,
Fantasy World will soon have its own game platform!

This is definitely great news for Huanshi who is about to register a game company!
Huanshi no longer has to worry about being suppressed and targeted by other companies. As long as there are no internal problems, the future development of Huanshi will basically be stable.

"Tianci gave the Aurora game platform to Hui Ye unconditionally, why are you so happy? He didn't give it to us in Fantasy World."

On the side, seeing Wu Xiaohua's excited appearance, Li Heng was puzzled.

Li Heng didn't know the conversation in the coffee shop.

Wu Xiaohua has strong social skills.

Now in Huanshi studio, things are going well, and he is familiar with everyone.

As for the public relations department that Zhang Yi asked him to recruit, Wu Xiaohua didn't play any tricks, and found suitable personnel seriously.

"Almost something."

Regarding Li Heng's doubts, Wu Xiaohua said so.

heard,

Li Heng, who was already puzzled, became even more puzzled.

"Okay, I see." Zhang Yi nodded, and then said to Wu Xiaohua: "Go help me and ask Shen Heng to come in."

In the past three months, the fantasy world of "The Kitchen" was released, and naturally it was not idle.

Immediately put all my energy,
Focused on the design and development of the new game "Escape".

As before, Zhang Yi expressed the game plot and general content of the game "Escape".

Then the fantasy game production team,
You only need to make the game according to the information given by Zhang Yi, and that's it.

Seeing that three months are about to pass, and the Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer. According to Zhang Yi's original plan, after a while, Huanshi will release the game and register as a company.

After Wu Xiaohua left the office, Shen Heng walked in soon.

"Boss, what's the matter?"

"How is the production progress of the new game "Escape" now?" Zhang Yi asked directly.

Shen Heng replied: "It will be finished in two days at the latest!"

When talking about the truth about the next new game "Escape" in the fantasy world, Shen Heng also unconsciously showed a look of admiration in his eyes, and next to him, after hearing the truth about the game "Escape", Li Heng But with a frightened expression on his face, he swallowed and spit.

When Shen Heng got the design plan of "Escape" from Zhang Yi, to be honest, he was shocked.

Too much!
Really

This game is so well designed!

The plot of the game is awesome and very attractive.

The horror point of the game is also extremely exquisitely designed, and what's more, the setting of the whole game is simply a perfect horror game work!
Shen Heng asked himself,

Even if you give him another ten years,
I can't think of such an excellent horror game!
As for the game "Escape", compared with those works in the horror game market today, it can't be said that the gap is too big, it can only be said that it beats everything!
Yes,

Shen Heng has been able to foresee,

Once the horror game "Escape" is released,
It will definitely be the greatest and highest quality horror game ever made in this genre!

No one can beat it!

No other horror game can compare to "Escape"!
Recalling that when Zhang Yi said that the next game would be a horror game, Shen Heng still felt that the genre of horror games was not very good, and the production was too difficult and thankless.

Now, he just wants to slap himself.

high difficulty,
thankless,
That's for a game designer like him who is of average strength but not capable enough,

A genius game designer like Zhang Yi
Sorry,

What is the difficulty, have you never heard of it? !
When Li Heng next to him heard "Escape", the reason why he showed a terrified expression was because Li Heng was the first victim of the game "Escape".

Li Heng will never forget the day when he was invited by Shen Heng with a smile to participate in the "Escape" game experience.

What a fucking Kazakh!
Ask yourself,

As a game designer, Li Heng was also familiar with all types of games, including horror games.

However, having played so many horror games,
Li Heng has never encountered a game that can be as scary as "Escape"!
The thrill of being chased by monsters,

The sense of powerlessness that cannot fight back,

And the thrill of hiding under the bed and shivering in the closet,
It literally gave him cardiopulmonary arrest,
Not even breathing.

You know, what Li Heng experienced back then was only "Escape" with a design progress of 70.00%!
A lot of sound effects and so on have not been fully added.

Li Heng didn't even dare to imagine,

How desperately scary can a well-designed "Escape" achieve.

In fact, there is another aspect that can reflect how scary the game "Escape" is.

That is,
The security guards Zhang Yuan and Xiao Chun obviously found that when the employees of Fantasy World get off work recently, they obviously like to go home in groups.

Even when designing games in the studio,
The employees have also become much more lively.

At first, Shen Heng thought that everyone was fishing in troubled waters, but after a closer look, he discovered that it was because the game "Escape" was too scary, so everyone talked to each other more to strengthen their courage.

Not to mention those who need to test the game,
As a last resort, the staff who need to turn on the sound effects and wear headphones to experience the game "Escape" immersively.

Every day is complaining endlessly.

The number of times I go to the toilet every day is much higher.

"Two days?"

Hearing this progress, Zhang Yi frowned, because only the last five days were left before Huanshi's annual vacation.

If you want to register a company within these five days.

Well, first of all, the new game "Escape" needs to be released immediately after the production is completed. After the release, it must be registered as a company immediately, not to mention, it needs to consider that there will be rest days during these five days.

"In terms of time, it seems a bit too late."

"Is it only possible to register the company at the beginning of next year?"

Li Heng naturally knew what Zhang Yi was thinking at the moment, so he said, "If you want me to say, it's not impossible for us to come back next year and register the company again."

"Anyway, in a short period of time, if you register as a company, you won't see any clear benefits. It's better to wait for a while. There's no need to be so anxious."

Shen Heng also nodded: "Li Heng is right."

"Also, since our game "Escape" has been decided to be released at this time, it is better to postpone it for a few days."

"Just in time for the Lunar New Year stalls during the Chinese New Year."

"After all, every New Year's Eve is the time when players are most willing to spend money on buying games, because during the Chinese New Year vacation, players will have plenty of time to play games except for visiting relatives."

In this world, Chinese New Year is a bit different from previous life.

Due to the vigorous development of the game industry,
Players will also have longer time to play games during the Chinese New Year. After all, it is impossible to spend all the time even visiting relatives' homes for New Year's greetings.

Gradually, a very unique habit and situation emerges.

before the new year,

There will be a "New Year's Eve" time when major game companies are scrambling to release games.

Players will also choose one or several games among these games as the main games they will play in the next Chinese New Year.

Huge market.

That means more competition.

The annual "Lunar New Year File" is definitely the highest quality game produced by major game companies this year.

As a horror game, "Escape" was actually released at the time of "Lunar New Year". Compared with other games, it is relatively disadvantaged.

In addition, horror games are already unpopular, which makes them even more disadvantaged.

But no way,

As a horror game, if you want to take off directly, the best time to release it is during this "New Year's Eve".

Because the number of players who buy games is the highest during this time period!
large base,
It means that there are more players who are likely to like this game.

In normal time, it is difficult for horror games to achieve the popularity of "Cat Leo" and "Overcooked Kitchen".

"Ok."

It is really unrealistic to want to register a company years ago.

At the beginning, Zhang Yi really did not expect that the game "Escape" would be finished in two days even if the studio was fully fired.

Game quality is the most important thing.

It is absolutely impossible for Zhang Yi to sacrifice the quality of the game because he is in a hurry.

Speaking of this, Zhang Yi suddenly thought of something, and then asked: "By the way, is the game modification plan I gave two days ago, is it in progress?"

The release of Overcooked Kitchen has brought many new players to Fantasy World.

It also brought a lot of experience to Zhang Yi.

With the accumulation of these experience points, the system has finally reached the next level. This time, like last time, apart from the improvement of Zhang Yi's own game design ability, he also got a separate reward - game insight.

Game insight: As an excellent game designer, you can see the shortcomings in the game content and the areas that can be improved.

This reward is very useful for the current Zhang Yi.

Compared with the last "Music Skills".

It's not just a little bit stronger.

Now, Zhang Yi is the chief designer of Huanshi, and even Huanshi is about to register as a game company.

It has long been unnecessary for Zhang Yi to design games on his own as before, but to have a large number of people and a professional game production team.

in spite of,

There are all kinds of complete games in the mind.

Zhang Yi only needs to describe the content of the game, and then hand it over to the team below for development and production.

However, with the increase in the size of the game, there are more and more various details. Even Zhang Yi cannot guarantee that he can accurately remember every detail of the game content.

Then in this case,

It is very important to have the ability to see the shortcomings of the game and the areas that need improvement.

A few days ago, when Shen Heng took "Escape" with a game production progress of 90.00% to check for Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi, who had obtained the system enhancement, keenly caught the loopholes in the current game.

It is worth mentioning that in Fantasy World Studio, 90.00% game progress means that the game content is basically completed.

But it also requires testers to experience immersively and detect details everywhere.

Therefore,
The "Escape" that Zhang Yi saw at that time was a game that had already been produced, but there were still many areas that needed to be optimized.

Originally, if the staff were only asked to test one by one, it would take at least a week or so to complete the optimization.

However, because of Zhang Yi's insight.

He directly listed a lot of places that need to be optimized and modified to Shen Hengluo, which greatly saved time.

"The last dozen or so places are left."

Shen Heng answered truthfully.

When he got the game modification plan, he was shocked. Counting carefully, the modification points given by Zhang Yi turned out to be nearly one hundred!

tortoise,

Can you imagine Shen Heng's expression when he saw this proposal?
Although it is only 90.00% completed, as the basic finished product of the game, there are only some areas that need to be optimized.

In addition, Shen Heng is also very confident in the strength of the game production team he leads.

There is definitely room for optimization.

but,
Not so much, right? !
However, after Shen Heng carefully read every revision plan of Zhang Yi, he took a deep breath.

Every modification point given by Zhang Yi is indeed problematic!

Even, there are still many things that he thought were okay at first after seeing it, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized how amazing Zhang Yi's modification plan was!
Sometimes when optimizing the game following Zhang Yi's modification ideas,
Even Shen Heng sighed frequently,

original
The game can still be designed like this!

You really deserve to be the chief designer of Fantasy World!
"Okay." Zhang Yi nodded.

After finishing chatting about work, it happened to be here when I suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers outside. I don't know which house is hosting a wedding. The voice said whether it was near or far.

If it was normal, no one would think of it, but at this time.

Li Heng suddenly said with emotion:

"It's almost Chinese New Year."

"Yes."

Zhang Yi nodded: "It's almost Chinese New Year."

Shen Heng also smiled and said: "This is the first year our group of people have lived after coming to the fantasy world."

Fate is so magical.

Gather together a group of people who didn't know each other before and become best friends and brothers.

At this time, Li Heng asked:
"Old Zhang, will you stay in Tongchang City during the Chinese New Year?"

Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that his body in this world actually has family members, but it is not in Tongchang City, but in another small county near Tongchang City.

Because he was alone in his previous life, he never thought about this question.

"No."

Zhang Yi thought for a while and replied: "Chinese New Year, let's go home."
