Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

A week after Lin Baicheng left RB, Miyamoto So and Yamada Hideyoshi came to Xiangjiang with five talents from the game industry. Lin Baicheng personally went to pick them up and cleanse them.

The next day, Lin Baicheng asked five employees to sign contracts with the company. Of course, their treatment could not be compared with Miyamoto Sou.

Afterwards, Lin Baicheng took them to the office rented by the company, which was downstairs from Yum Securities.

The equipment ordered from IBM had been delivered the day before yesterday, so when Miyamoto and the others arrived, they could immediately get into work. However, before the development of the game begins, Lin Baicheng still needs to explain to them the game to be developed.

Lin Baicheng did not know Japanese, so he arranged for Yamada Hideyoshi to return to RB. Fortunately, Lin Baicheng had already thought of this. He hired a Japanese translator a few days ago and also worked part-time as his Japanese teacher to teach him Japanese.

"Miyamoto, and you guys, the game I want to develop this time I will name it "Pac-Man"."

"The gameplay of this game is mainly for the player to control the protagonist of the game, the elf, to eat all the beans in the maze without being caught by the ghosts in the maze."

"In my setting, there are flashing props in the four corners of the maze, which I call Dali Pills. After eating the Dali Pills, the elves can eat the ghosts in turn for a certain period of time. During this time, the ghosts will Avoid the elves, but the speed of the ghosts will be slower. If the ghosts are eaten, they will die and resurrect in the haunted house after a certain period of time to chase the elves again."

"Of course, as time goes by and as the beans are gradually eaten, the effective time of Dali Pill will become shorter and shorter, and the speed of the ghost will become faster and faster."

Lin Baicheng paused after each sentence so that the translator could translate it in time.

The shooting game that was originally planned to be developed could no longer be developed, but Lin Baicheng still had many options. In the end, he chose the game "Pac-Man" because he remembered that this game was also developed in the early 1980s. I don’t want to miss this pretty good game again.

"President!"

Miyamoto raised her hand, and after Lin Baicheng motioned for him to speak, she said, "Wouldn't it be good if the game only has beans, a prop that can be eaten by elves? I think it's a bit too monotonous, and we can design more for elves. Food props.”

"Miyamoto, you made a good point, but I have already thought of this."

Lin Baicheng nodded appreciatively and said: "I am going to design several props based on oranges, bananas, grapes and other different fruit types. Eating these props can earn a lot of points. As for how many types of these props to design, each We will discuss it slowly during development as to how appropriate the props are."

Miyamoto Sou praised: "President, you have really thought carefully."

"Everyone can put forward any ideas they have."

Lin Baicheng said with a smile, and then continued: "I set an exit on each side of the maze. The elves can go to the other map to eat beans from the exits on both sides, but the beans on the first map are Before they are all eaten, the ghosts will also follow the map, which means there will be more and more ghosts.”

"This setting is good!"

After hearing this, Miyamoto said immediately: "This can give players more novel experiences. This setting of the president is great." He was not flattering, but sincerely praised.

"Do you have any ideas about how to clear this game?"

Lin Baicheng nodded and asked the six people including Miyamoto Sui. Of course he had already thought about how to pass the level, but he wanted to see what Miyamoto Sui and others would think and let them use their brains. This was also training for them.

"How about setting a certain prop, and the elf will pass the level if it eats the prop?"

"I think it's better to set a point value. After the elf controlled by the player gets a certain number of points, it will pass the level."

"How about setting up multiple ways to pass the level?"

"..."

Six people, including Miyamoto Sou, expressed their opinions, and it was good to have some ideas in a short period of time.

"It's not urgent. We can set the conditions for clearance while developing the game."

Lin Baicheng did not say his decision right away. It would be better to let Miyamoto and the others think about it more. Maybe they would have better ideas.

Lin Baicheng did not develop the game "Pac-Man" according to the original version. He only copied part of the settings and gameplay. After all, this was just an arcade game in the early 1980s, and there were many better settings in later generations.

Of course, Lin Baicheng will not bring out the truly classic settings, but will put them into other games. It is very uneconomical to bring out too many good settings at once.

Time passed slowly during the discussion between Lin Baicheng and others. At the same time, under Lin Baicheng's guidance, they also knew the general outline of the game "Pac-Man" and what effects the game developed, which could save a lot of time. time.

The reason why Lin Baicheng said all this is because he has asked lawyer Chen Gao to apply for patent copyrights such as game images, so he is not afraid of being copied.

"Dingling bell~~~"

Just as he was talking, the phone in the office rang.

"Hey, who is this?"

Lin Baicheng went to answer the phone.

"Mr. Lin, it's me, Liu Yihui."

The call was from Liu Yihui. He called to tell Lin Baicheng the good news. There was finally news in the United States. There was an agent who was very optimistic about the game "Xiangjiang Cube", so he wanted to come to Xiangjiang to work with the company. Interview.

I don’t know exactly what employees on the American side are talking about. The agent didn’t say anything. What’s more important is that the American agent is coming to Xiangjiang today and has already bought a ticket for two hours.

The agent is from Los Angeles. The time difference in Xiangjiang is about 15 hours ahead of Los Angeles, and it takes about 15 hours to fly between the two places.

But don’t worry about the time difference for now. If the ticket is two hours later, and the flight takes 15 hours, then the other party will arrive in Xiangjiang in 17 hours, which is around three or four in the morning tomorrow.

For Lin Baicheng, this is indeed good news, but he is not too happy, because Lin Baicheng has long decided to wait for the game "Pac-Man" to be developed and go to Los Angeles to participate in the October event with both games. trade fair, where agents from all over the world will go.

This trade fair is not specifically held for the game industry. Games, toys, electronics and other industries can attend and showcase their products.

For Lin Baicheng, the arrival of the agent is just the icing on the cake, but it is more or less good news.
