Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 682 The new book will be on the shelves soon; the problems brought about by the background of technical experience

For the mobile game development team, after the 10-day vacation ended.

"Develop another mobile game. After finishing, you can go back to school."

Tian Moyun looked at the group of young people and smiled: "You all performed very well, this internship is considered a complete success."

After all, they are just interns, not regular employees.

An internship period of about three months is enough, and after that, they have to continue to go to school and prepare for many things near graduation.

In the fall of next year, they will be a group of graduates.

"Then can we work here after graduation?"

One of the girls asked in a low voice, this should be something that all of them are concerned about.

"Hard to say."

Tian Moyun smiled: "On the one hand, it depends on the company's talent needs, and on the other hand, it also depends on whether your overall performance is up to standard."

"A few of you make me happy, but most of you need to wait and see."

"The few people who satisfy me, I will give suggestions to the company's HR department, and they will invite them to conduct the interview process."

"Others who have not been invited can also go through the regular application process and decide whether to recruit according to the review mechanism of the HR department."

"From now to graduation, you still have more than half a year to prepare and improve yourself."

"Of course, even if you fail the application assessment in the end, I still think you will have a very good future."

"The three-month internship experience in [Happy Game] will be a very exciting addition to your resume. I believe that no company will reject you easily."

heard.

Everyone looked at each other, curious about who "those people" were.

They knew very well that if Tian Moyun gave suggestions to the HR department, these people's interviews were really just a process.

But others have to compete for a position with countless competitors through the normal way of applying for a job, which is extremely difficult like a thousand troops crossing a single bridge.

They were all very curious about who Tian Moyun would be optimistic about, but Tian Moyun didn't say anything, and it was not easy for them to ask, that would be too lacking in emotional intelligence.

"Stop talking about that."

Tian Moyun smiled: "Look at your last work arrangement here, this is the design draft of the new game."

As he spoke, he motioned for everyone to open the document in front of him.

"New game - "Defend the Carrot"!"

……

"Defend the Carrot", an extremely classic and popular mobile game in the previous life.

One of the giants of tower defense alongside Plants vs. Zombies.

The gameplay is similar to "Kingdom Defense", but compared with the latter, "Defend the Carrot" has higher commercial value and is more in line with the "all ages" standard.

Not long ago——

"Plants vs. Zombies" and "Angry Birds" set off a boom in casual mobile games.

The subsequent "Temple Run" and "Kingdom Defense" were also limited to the category of "boutique mobile games" and failed to become popular.

It was not until the appearance of "Ski Adventure" that it barely qualified to become the "successor" of the two best-selling masterpieces.

But in Tian Moyun's view, it was still a little bit worse.

Among the leisure puzzle mobile games, besides "Plants vs. Zombies" and "Angry Birds", the third one should be "Defend the Carrot".

In the previous life on Earth, if it wasn't for the fact that the food was so ugly that the word-of-mouth completely collapsed, this game would definitely become an eternal classic in the minds of a generation.

……

"Which platform will the new game be on?"

Tang Tang asked.

"[Starry Sky OS] and [Dragon Map OS] are both done."

Tian Moyun said casually: "In the future, when we make games, there will be no distinction between platforms. It's meaningless. The money will be made by those who follow suit. It's better to make money on two platforms."

"..."

Everyone was speechless.

Think about it, this is true.

Tian Moyun has several single-platform games. He has no plans to develop dual-platforms, but many game manufacturers have seized the opportunity and developed games with similar gameplay on another platform... Although due to rush work, it caused In the end, the quality was a bit worse, but still made a lot of money.

It's depressing to say the least.

I set up a platform monopoly by myself, but in the end it helped others.

Then why do you still do it?
It’s okay to have platform exclusives before, and if you develop games later, you simply don’t engage in platform exclusives, and go directly to dual platforms.

certainly--

It's just a dual platform.

If the Big Three also launch a smartphone system, Tian Moyun will never let his game land on that system platform. Not only that, he will try his best to fight each other to the end, including but not limited to providing game manufacturers with " One of two" choice.

Or, choose the Big Three and the old four.

Or, choose [Thunder Game], [Dragon Scale Game], [Starry Sky OS], [Dragon Map OS].

Anyone with a little brain should know how to choose.

……

The mobile game development team took action quickly.

They are still a group of energetic young people.

It seems that they want to show off in front of Tian Moyun. They are very enthusiastic about the new game, just like treating the goddess they are pursuing.

Careful, heart-pumping, sincere and infatuated...

Young is so good.

The architecture design of "Defend the Carrot" is not difficult for them, because they have the development experience of two similar games before, so they are familiar with it and the efficiency is very high.

in later time.

While Tian Moyun stayed in the "mobile game development team" to supervise the workers, giving them advice from time to time, he also took a notebook and sat in Su Qiong's office typing on the keyboard.

It was "The Legend of Heroes of the Three Kingdoms"!
While typing on the keyboard quickly, he silently complained in his heart that there is no lower limit for Dingdang's watering.

357 words!
The original "Three Kingdoms" is only 64 words, okay?
You are a little white cool version, and it swelled nearly 6 times, the water is too much.

"I understand that online novels must be filled with water. Otherwise, the number of words will not be enough, readers will not like it, and the website will make less money, so it will not be promoted in the later stage, and the author will not be able to make money. It will be difficult to adapt the IP if the novel has no grades..."

Tian Moyun complained silently in his heart: "But the problem is, I don't need these. As the big boss behind the web platform, do I still need to go through the normal process? "The Monkey King" is only a few hundred thousand words, and I can give it to you. Is it difficult to do it again as the top IP with the most successful adaptation?"

He seriously suspected that this little Ding Dong made "Three Kingdoms Heroes" down to 357 million words in order to deliberately torment himself.

"Host, that's not what you said when you stayed up late reading novels and screamed excitedly."

The mechanical sound of the system tinkling sounded.

Tian Moyun: "..."

You know a der.

……

Su Qiong didn't know this, she only thought Tian Moyun was very powerful.

Watching him type on the keyboard for a whole afternoon, except for drinking water and going to the toilet, he almost never heard it. Isn't this too smooth?

Su Qiong has nothing to do with the writing circle, but her relationship with Tian Wenwen is still very good.

Therefore, she often heard Tian Wenwen say that her Caven, either there is a problem with the detailed outline, or she deviates from the outline, or a new character pops up out of nowhere...

Anyway, there are various problems every day, either in depression or on the way to depression.

Moreover, the girl's hand speed is surprisingly slow. I heard that she only writes about 2000 words in an hour, so she can't cook anymore.

Looking at Tian Moyun's hand speed, he doesn't look like a married person at all.

"How much can you write in an hour?"

Su Qiong watched for a long time, and when he saw him put down his notebook to drink water, he couldn't help asking this question.

"About 6000."

Tian Moyun responded casually: "The main reason is that my typing speed is too slow, otherwise I can make it faster."

This is really very honest, after all...

Copy it, and you don't have to use your brain.

The system panel has prepared the text, and adjusted it to his favorite font and color, copying directly with the notebook in hand, can the speed be slow?

"You are so amazing."

Su Qiong said sincerely.

……

When "The Legend of the Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" was first released, the plot had not yet fully unfolded, and it received many doubts.

After all, the "Great Sage" is not a top-level writer with senior qualifications, and he has no books under his name except for "The Great Sage Equaling Heaven".

And "Monkey King" is a bit far away from the present time.

Although it is a masterpiece... But after such a long time without writing, the author still has some strength left, and who knows if he can still control the current trend of online writing.

The pure readership is fine, there won't be too many doubts.

The old readers accumulated in the era of "Monkey King", they still have quite confidence in the author, and they are looking forward to the exciting plot that will gradually unfold later.

New readers, whether they are interested or not, see that the website platform attaches so much importance to it, and think that the content behind this book should not be bad, so they add a bookmark, and then leave it alone.

The number of words is too small, and there is no motivation to read it. Save more and update it, and wait until you are "fat" before reading it.

But the author group is not so peaceful——

A newly released book directly got the top recommended resources on the whole network, and they were more or less jealous.

It's fine if the novel is wonderful, but if it's not exciting enough, or if there is a bug somewhere, they will definitely kill you.

For example, "That's it? I can do it myself", "It's just that there are many recommendations, otherwise the grades will not be as good as mine", and so on.

Although the opening chapter of "Three Kingdoms Heroes" has no so-called poisonous points, it is still a little bland.

Provoked the cordial greetings of many colleagues.

But as the plot gradually unfolded, the protagonists with flesh and blood appeared one after another, which made the rating of this book gradually rise.

The doubts began to decrease, and those newcomers who had just entered the industry finally realized that this book was not as "unbearable" as they thought.

The update speed of "Three Kingdoms Heroes" is very fast.

This is due to Tian Moyun's fast "creation". During this period of time, he was not very busy and spent a lot of time on code words.

He wants to finish writing quickly, after all, 357 million words is not an easy task.

……

A chapter of 3000 words, 3 updates a day, a total of 9000 words.

The opening Chapter 12 was uploaded on December 6.

By the end of December, it had been updated to 12 words.

"Is it going to be on shelves in early January?"

Li Qiuya sent a message to ask: "I read the chapter content up to here, it is very suitable for card points."

The so-called stuck point is to choose the time when the "expectation value" of a plot is the highest to charge, so that readers have the urge to continue watching, and complete the first payment of the VIP chapter.

Then, you can start the journey of defrauding money that you like to hear and see.

Of course, the readers are a group of cute and good children, and it is too unconscionable to cheat children of money, so the content of the VIP chapter should be carefully written.

It’s okay to drink water once in a while, but if you drink water every day, readers are not fools, so they can continue to let you cheat money?
"Just put it on the shelf if you think it's appropriate."

Tian Moyun tapped on the phone screen and typed a reply.

Afterwards, he sent the manuscripts he had "created" in the past few days to Li Qiuya, and asked the other party to update them on his behalf, saving time and effort.

There are about 24 words in total.

Tian Moyun has been really diligent during this time, copying 2 to 3 words a day on average, and has already handed over 90 words to Li Qiuya.

"Mr. Tian, ​​you are going too fast!"

Li Qiuya was a little shocked.

"so so."

Tian Moyun typed quickly: "It's only 90 words a month. What's that? I just take the time to write it. I believe that any qualified online writer can write 80 words a month. If you work hard If you write a little bit, you can write two or three million words a month..."

Anyway, it’s blowing!

"..."

Li Qiuya replied with a series of ellipses.

Thus ended the awkward conversation.

"Are you fooling her again?"

Standing behind him, Su Qiong saw the content of his chat with Li Qiuya, feeling a little helpless: "I hope she doesn't take your words seriously, otherwise, those contracted authors of [Apple Literature Network] will be miserable."

"is it?"

Tian Moyun was a little happy after hearing this.

……

The development of the new game "Defend the Carrot" has also been completed.

Tian Moyun tried it out, and it feels pretty good, similar to the original version.

"Okay, your internship period is over."

Tian Moyun clapped his hands: "Congratulations to the 35 juniors and juniors here who have successfully completed their internships. I hope that the three months here will bring you a lot of gains, not just in terms of pocket money, but also after returning to school. Keep working hard and hope to see you in [Thunder Group] in the future."

"Thank you, senior."

Tang Tang's eyes were slightly red.

she doesn't want to go...

It's not that she doesn't want anyone, but...

How can the school food be as delicious as here?
How can the school's accommodation treatment be better than the high-end apartments here?

The school's wireless network is so slow, it's far worse than here?

the most important is--

You have to pay for your own food and shopping at school. How nice it is to be here. In [Thunder Restaurant], you have free meals, free accommodation, and monthly living allowances.

Although the work is a bit hard, compared with these benefits, it is not a problem at all, okay?
Not to mention, there is a basic salary of 3000 yuan per month.

In this era when the average monthly salary of key university graduates is less than 2000 yuan, and they have to be responsible for their own food, clothing, housing and transportation, a company with a monthly salary of 3000 can almost save and live well... Where can I find it?

The three-month internship period is too short, and she wants to ask if it can be extended for another six months?
……

Of course, I don’t want to give up, but I still have to go.

The three-month internship period was negotiated in advance between the company and the "Emperor Capital University". It would not be appropriate if they kept their students.

Moreover, it is useless for the company to continue to keep these interns. It increases expenses and does not get much return.

As for continuing to develop mobile games?
Of course mobile games still need to be developed, but...

[Happy Games] Here, the development of "Breath of the Wild" has been successfully completed, and there will be enough manpower to be responsible for the development of mobile game projects, and no interns will be needed.

……

The dual-platform version of "Defend the Carrot" is ready.

But Tian Moyun didn't take it out, but decided to hoard it for a spare, and let it play when it is really needed.

now-

Tian Moyun is going to experience the most fun game in the world - "Hyrule Continent"

wrong, do it again.

The most fun game in the world - "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild"!
"Thank you for your hard work."

Tian Moyun said with a smile.

He likes this game very much, and it can even be said that this is one of the games he is most looking forward to in the past two years.

It's a pity that when he edited the game design draft and participated in the game development, he was too familiar with this game, which led to the loss of a lot of freshness.

When experiencing the game, he always subconsciously looks at it with the scrutiny of a designer, instead of exploring the continent with the pure mentality of a player.

This is an irreparable regret.

Perhaps this is the sadness of being a game designer, making a game that countless players love, but running counter to the players and drifting away.

……

"Perhaps, after finishing some recent work, I need to rest for a while."

Tian Moyun said suddenly.

"You don't want to continue playing games?"

Su-joon knows him well enough to quickly figure out why he said that.

It's not that I feel tired from work, but that... I'm a little tired of making games.

"It's not that I don't want to, I just need a little rest."

Tian Moyun smiled: "I want to forget the identity of a game designer, to breathe fresh air, to play some adventures that I have never played before, and finally, to play games as a player, to feel the charm of video games again... …I’ll come back and continue making games after I’m tired of playing all this and feel that it’s not interesting anymore.”

"pretty good."

Su Qiong nodded slightly.

She thinks this guy may be caused by too much force recently, and it's good to take a rest and relax your brain.

"By the way, have you finished the game you are in charge of?"

Su Qiong changed the subject.

A few months ago, when Tian Moyun was preparing for the new year's console masterpiece, he reorganized [Phoenix Game], and then personally led the team to start making a console masterpiece.

The name of the game is - "God of War"!
"not yet."

Tian Moyun shook his head: "[Phoenix Game]'s foundation is too bad, and now it's barely finished one-fifth of it...I thought about it, and it's probably useless to count on them. With their efficiency, I want to finish "God of War", at least It will only be possible in the next year.”

That's not bad either.

Su Qiong thought silently in her heart.

Of course, she didn't say that, otherwise, someone would definitely talk to her in the tone of "you don't seem to have seen the world".

"What are you going to do?"

Su Qiong tactfully skipped the question of whether the efficiency is high: "Do you want me to form a development team here to help?"

"Need not."

Tian Moyun shook his head: "The development team here at [Happy Games] has just finished "Breath of the Wild", and they are already quite tired. If they are transferred to work on "God of War", they will definitely not be able to change their minds...... A small vacation, let everyone rest for two weeks to recover."

"As for God of War—"

"Let [Phoenix Game] do it slowly first, and cultivate their experience and ability to develop console masterpieces. After [Storm] is done, let Xia Yu and the others participate. [Storm] originally It’s really good at making games like this.”

Su Qiong thought about it, and it seemed to be the same.

……

The entire team of [Happy Games] is basically producing a series of games for all ages such as "Mario", "Zelda", motion-sensing games, casual online games, etc. The technical experience and background in this area are very good. Powerful, it can be regarded as the number one among many game companies in the world.

But in the background of such games as "Dark Soul", "Blood Curse", "God of War", etc., it seems very weak.

Not to mention compared with the strongest [Storm] in the industry, even the three companies [Cooling], [Blazing], and [Zhaoyang] are far stronger than [Happy Games].

Development experience and technology accumulation are the soul of a game company.

It is precisely because of the continuous accumulation and accumulation of experience and technology that a game company can always keep up with the pace of the times.

【Happy Games】The positioning itself is "making fun games that everyone can play", that is, fun games for all ages.

The positioning of [Tempest] is a fighting RPG game with "strong screen special effects, comfortable combat feel, awesome character modeling, and invincible dubbing/plot".

In addition to these two, the four top game manufacturers in Daxia also have their own characteristics.

Such "features" can almost be said to be the signature of a game manufacturer.

When the words [Happy Games] are mentioned, what players subconsciously think of are those family gathering games that are very interesting and have cute cartoon pictures.

When the words [Storm Game] are mentioned, what players think of is a series of fighting masterpieces such as "Dark Soul", "King of Fighters", and "New Street Fighter".

This feature is the soul of the game company, and it is also the continuous and powerful accumulation of the game company.

[Happy Games] Can't make a fighting masterpiece like "Dark Soul", and [Storm] can't make those interesting leisure/parent-child educational games that can be accepted by "Bao Ma".

It doesn't mean anything, and it doesn't explain anything.

……

And the reason why [Phoenix Game] is so inefficient under the leadership of Tian Moyun...

That is also impossible.

【Phoenix Games】When it was acquired, they only had experience in making 16-bit games. It took a long learning process for them to move from 16-bit to 64-bit.

Not only that, the [Phoenix Game] development team was severely understaffed, and Tian Moyun recruited a lot of people halfway through, and it took time for the two sides to work together.

This caused the development progress to be so slow, even if Tian Moyun personally led the team, it was still not ideal.

The lack of accumulated technical experience was far more serious than Tian Moyun expected.

and so……

We can only let this side stand up first, and then let Xia Yu and the others come to take over after [Storm] is done.

However, when will [Tempest] finish its work?
……

"I think [Storm] may also need to rest after being busy."

Su Qiong's gaze was a bit strange: "They are developing two super masterpieces at the same time, and they are also responsible for updating and maintaining the content of several online games under them... It seems that they are much more tired than [Happy Games]."

"...If you don't tell me, I'll forget."

Tian Moyun slapped his forehead.

Xia Yu was indeed a little busy.

League of Legends and Bloodborne...

The development process of any game is extremely complex.

Not only did they have to produce two models at the same time, but they also had to complete them within a limited period of time. The work pressure was not small.

This is [Storm] awesome, the world's largest game production company deserves its name.

If it were replaced by any top manufacturer, it would not be as strong as [Storm].

　Writing this chapter was a bit of a headache, the transitional plot, it was so difficult to write, and it was very stuck... The foreshadowing is almost here, and I am ready to finish.

　　
　
(End of this chapter)
