In the Internet age, who still makes traditional games?

#103 - Isn't this a hit?! (Seeking monthly tickets)

Chu Yi heard that Zhumeng was developing a new game, and Fei Zhiyuan became very nervous.

The ancients said, "A scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at with new eyes."

In the past two months, he had truly experienced this!

Initially, Zhumeng was not an opponent in his eyes at all.

A company with a boring game, a shortage of funds, a naive team, and no operational skills, how could it be a rival to their Moyu Games?

It was just a case of taking a different approach and seizing the first-mover advantage.

Once Moyu's new game was launched, it would inevitably crush them!

But now, no one dares to mention this topic in the company—why, are you bringing it up to mock the boss for his lack of vision and being slapped in the face?

Fei Zhiyuan no longer had the confidence to surpass Xu Meng in a head-on confrontation.

That's why he was even more sensitive to this topic.

In between, only a little over a month had passed.

And this was the achievement Xu Meng had made on an old game with a fixed framework.

Now that he was neither short of money nor people, and had no restrictions, if he started developing a new gacha game from scratch, what level could he reach?

Wouldn't he be directly challenging the position of "Abyss of Gods"?

So he was very nervous.

He was even mentally prepared to use any means to trip up Zhumeng and sabotage them.

But... all of this was based on the new game still being a gacha game.

But what did Chen Peng say?

Zhumeng was going to make a buy-to-play game?

After realizing this, Fei Zhiyuan almost laughed out loud!

He relaxed completely:

"Buy-to-play game?"

"Is that the kind of game that requires a frighteningly high investment, needs hundreds or thousands of people, takes years to develop, and after all the hard work, if you're lucky, you can earn the monthly revenue of a mobile game, and if you're unlucky, you lose everything?"

Chen Peng opened his mouth, speechless.

He used to think so too.

—Many people in the industry thought so, especially the bosses of game companies.

Because that was the reality.

But the experiences of those people who had gathered in the meeting room just now, and their enthusiasm when discussing buy-to-play games, made it difficult for him to laugh along with Fei Zhiyuan.

In the end, he just echoed a couple of times: "Probably... yes."

With the intention of sabotage, even an ordinary employee can cause serious negative impact.

Previously, the task Fei Zhiyuan gave him was to sabotage the "Frost and Snow Project".

But now...

Fei Zhiyuan flatly denied: "No! Don't do that!"

"We wanted to attack the "Frost and Snow Project" because the "Frost and Snow Project" is in direct competition with us."

"But buy-to-play games... let Zhumeng do it."

"It's best to let them see hope, transfer all the elite employees over, and let Xu Meng put all his thoughts into it—it would be best if they could abandon the "Frost and Snow Project"!"

"Then should I resign in a few days?" Chen Peng asked again.

"Don't!" Fei Zhiyuan denied again.

"You stay there, work hard, and wait until you've determined the general situation of this project before leaving. If there's anything important, you must tell me as soon as possible."

Chen Peng sighed, "Okay, I understand."

At least it was double the salary, and occasionally there might be extra money, so he would stay if he had to.

He hung up the phone and quickly left the rooftop.

Before he even reached the office, his phone vibrated—the bonus Fei Zhiyuan had promised had already been credited to his account.

So Chen Peng went to the bathroom to wash his face, concealing the sweat on his face, and then sat down at his workstation, opened the unfamiliar office software, and looked for the test demo.

He was indeed an industry elite with very comprehensive abilities.

Now that he had decided to stay and develop this project, he would go all out!

Chen Peng downloaded this 【King of War miniDemo】 with a somewhat funny name from the intranet and entered the game with his employee number.

The first option was:

【Single Player】/【Multiplayer Online】

Chen Peng chose single player.

As soon as he entered the game, he was a little dumbfounded—

The screen only showed a narrow rectangular window, and outside the window was a gently sloping terrain, with a beach further away, and troop transport ships were landing.

Before he could react to how to play this game, the landing troop transport ships began to rapidly pour out soldiers and vehicles, charging towards his position.

A tutorial prompt appeared: [Single Player Mouse Left Click to Fire]

Chen Peng subconsciously clicked the left mouse button, and with a "boom", the screen vibrated violently, and the arc of the cannon barrel briefly appeared on the right side of the rectangular window.

The shell hit the ground, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.

After the smoke cleared, only a large pit remained.

Obviously, he had missed.

A new tutorial prompt popped up:

[WASD keys control the hand control device and the elevation mechanism]

Question marks appeared on Chen Peng's head:

What is a hand control device? What is an elevation mechanism?

He tried pressing and holding the W key, and the cannon barrel slowly raised, appearing on the right side of the rectangular window, but the crosshair appeared in the center of the field of vision.

—Still a rather complicated crosshair.

Then there were the A and D keys, and the cannon barrel and crosshair moved horizontally together.

He then realized that these two things were for controlling the aiming of the cannon barrel.

He aimed by feeling and clicked to fire again.

But the cannon didn't move at all.

A system prompt popped up:

[Press G to leave the gunner's seat and reload]

So Chen Peng pressed the G key.

The perspective automatically zoomed out, rotated, and locked onto a stack of shells on the left wall of the compartment.

Clicking the left button, two arms reached over, picked up a heavy shell, and then found the breech according to the system prompt and manually loaded it.

After loading, he returned to his previous position, and he finally saw the hand control device and the elevation mechanism he had operated before.

Pressing the G key again, he returned to the gunner's seat.

"Is it so troublesome to fire a shot?" Chen Peng couldn't help but complain.

"No wonder even a minidemo requires online multiplayer, how can you play without someone reloading?"

As he spoke, he also completed his second aiming—he didn't understand the parameters on the scope, so he simply used the arrow in the very center to aim.

The newest novels are at 69shu.com!

The moment he fired, a deafening cannon sound rang in his ears.

The screen vibrated violently, and fine dust fell from the top of the window.

Probably because the troop transport vehicle had approached, this shot directly hit the target!

With one shot, the entire troop transport vehicle exploded directly, and fragments flew everywhere like garbage, and even the nearby infantry were affected and fell one after another.

This shot actually cleared a small area of the enemy!

"爽!" Chen Peng subconsciously clenched his fist to celebrate.

But looking at the enemy forces quickly approaching from other directions, he started reloading non-stop.

—At this time, he had already realized that to have a good experience, he had to find teammates.

He just didn't know if the tank could be driven, and if it could, there would have to be at least three teammates—

One to drive the tank, one to control the cannon, and one to reload.

The scariest thing was: this was already a reduced configuration!

He vaguely remembered that during World War II, a tank crew had 5 people!

He planned to try again, and when the tank was blown up, he would quit the game and find new colleagues to team up with.

But when the enemy finally approached, the game actually popped up another prompt—

[Press F to exit the tank]

"There's infantry gameplay too??" Chen Peng was surprised.

—He thought that Zhumeng, with only 20 people and half a month of work, would be very powerful to make a "Tank Tower Defense" or "Tank War".

But there was even more?

He pressed F in surprise, and the perspective changed as expected, with his hands holding a rifle appearing outside the tank.

There really was infantry gameplay!

It's just that the gun model... was really a bit rough!

While he was stunned, dense bullets hit the thick armor of the tank, and before he could react, he was shot through the head and died on the spot.

"Ah?" Chen Peng looked at the death replay, and he was completely stunned.

—He was killed by a stray bullet ricocheting off the tank's outer shell!

While Chen Peng was searching for colleagues to team up with and try the game because he was unconvinced, Fei Zhiyuan had just finished instructing Gong Feng.

Gong Feng was able to become the team leader of the "Mirror World Story" project group because he had merit and was trusted by the boss.

Fei Zhiyuan delegated many of the things that were not easy to do openly to him.

Today was the same.

After Fei Zhiyuan hung up the phone, he called Gong Feng and asked him to check the important members of Zhumeng's "Frost and Snow Project" to see if there were any points that could be attacked, even if it was old news.

If there were no main characters, he would go and find black material on ordinary employees—Zhumeng had just expanded its team recently, and he didn't believe he couldn't find any black material.

Or he could start with the users and try to cause some trouble for the "Frost and Snow Project".

In short, he couldn't let the "Frost and Snow Project" go too smoothly.

—Previously, he had sent Chen Peng to do this, but Chen Peng had unexpectedly fallen into the new project and had no time to hinder the "Frost and Snow Project", so he had to let Gong Feng make up for it.

The stumbling block in his eyes was always the "Frost and Snow Project".

Watching Gong Feng leave the meeting room, Fei Zhiyuan picked up the comprehensive evaluation report of "Divine Bird's" new character on the table and started reading it.

There was this report because "Divine Bird's" new character would be a girl with very little clothing and an extremely high level of sexiness.

—"Mirror World Story" was good, but it was too far away after all.

Friendly merchants were already scrambling to catch up with the craze Zhumeng had set off, and they couldn't wait to release sexy characters to make money.

Many people had even already gotten a taste of the meat—although they hadn't eaten as much as Zhumeng, they had eaten it after all!

Fei Zhiyuan couldn't wait any longer.

Therefore, "Divine Bird" had to keep up with the trend!

And he was quite confident!

—You Zhumeng can earn this money, and your colleagues can earn it, can't I Moyu earn it?

He had even invited Okamoto Ryosei, the "Izumo Great Artist" who was now gaining popularity in the Xia Country gacha game circle, to draw the character's original art.

The player base of "Divine Bird", the marketing strength of Moyu Games, plus the high-quality character design of the famous Izumo artist.

Wouldn't this be a hit?!

With so many advantages here, he couldn't figure out how he could lose!
