Chapter 006 Super Dream Editor
"'The Last Embers'?"
The first reaction of the responsible persons was that the name was a bit difficult to pronounce and understand.
Chen She smiled slightly. He came up with such a name and story background for a reason. Of course, he had a purpose.
The name is a little difficult to pronounce, which can discourage players who see it to some extent.
And the background of this story should serve as a certain suggestion.
Chen She hopes that this Mewtwo can, to some extent, make the resistance fighters accept the current desperate fact, realize the weakness of their own power, and thus suppress their will to commit suicide to a certain extent.
It’s not that you can’t play, but in a situation where you are at a disadvantage, you still have to develop steadily first.
Therefore, Chen She cannot appear too naked. If a shooting game is used as the background, it will only make the resistance fighters more united in their hatred of the enemy and their will to fight will be stronger.
In the context of fighting with cold weapons, the resistance fighters will not immediately think of the suggestive effect of the mew dream, so Chen She can instill this concept into them in a subtle way.
Chen She explained: "The so-called embers are the state where the fire has not yet been extinguished after the fuel has burned out."
"This is a story set in the East. In the center of the map is a huge imperial city. In the imperial city is burning a blazing holy fire, and the holy fire burns the destiny of all people in the world."
"Once the Holy Flame is extinguished, all people in the world will be plunged into an ocean of suffering from which there is no escape."
"Everyone in the world is fuel to keep the sacred fire burning."
"Surrounding the Imperial City are several different kingdoms, such as the Kingdom of Swamps, the Kingdom of Nomads, the Kingdom of Buddha, and so on."
"All these countries want to seize the sacred flame."
"And the player who plays an ordinary person can freely take actions in this world."
"He can attack the surrounding countries. I will arrange some simple tasks in these countries. After defeating these countries, it will be equivalent to temporarily eliminating the surrounding threats for the central imperial city."
"Players can also directly enter the Imperial City to defend the Holy Flame. This is more difficult because they will face endless attacks from surrounding countries."
"There are also more extreme situations where players can directly enter the Imperial City and extinguish the Holy Flame."
"In short, players can take any actions they want. In this world where the luck is about to run out and the world is about to be destroyed, they must continue to fight."
In Chen She's view, the background of this story is a metaphor.
The player's situation in Mewtwo is actually the same situation as the rebels in reality, and they are faced with an almost impossible task.
If the resistance fighters challenge this Mewtwo in depth, they will naturally develop this feeling of frustration.
Of course, Chen She didn't think that this little frustration would have any fundamental impact on the rebel fighters.
Because after the resistance movement was extinguished, the resistance fighters who still persisted were all determined and indomitable. They were even ready to sacrifice their lives to attack the big consortium!
In this situation, it is actually a good thing to suppress their fighting spirit a little bit. It can avoid some meaningless sacrifices and let them settle down and develop steadily.
Try to persuade players to quit as much as possible and suppress the resistance of the rebels.
In this way, Chen She could survive for a while.
The responsible persons had no idea of the rich psychological activities in Chen She's heart. They only saw the determined and ambitious president of the group and the motivated captain of the resistance army.
The background story of this Mewtwo is not complicated, and the difficulty of production is moderate. The responsible persons can't find any faults, but they also have no reason to strongly agree with it.
The meeting reached a certain deadlock.
Chen She still had a determined expression. He knew that he had said everything he needed to say. If he wanted to promote this Mewtwo next, he could only rely on his iron will.
Anyway, as long as you appear confident, others will be the ones to give in.
After a brief stalemate, the leaders finally compromised.
Although they felt that this Mewtwo did not seem like it would make a lot of money, they did not have any better proposals that could convince Chen She.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Zhen said, "Mr. Chen, I have a small suggestion."
"If this Mewtwo is fully developed, it will cost a lot of money. Our company's current financial situation may not be able to support it."
"I think it's better if we make a small part of the trial version first and take a quick look at the online reputation and comments."
"If the reviews are good, we will continue to produce the rest of the series."
"And I think we shouldn't put all our eggs in one basket. We can also consider continuing to improve Desperate Confrontation, or developing a smaller Mewtwo at the same time as a double insurance."
"What do you think?"
Other leaders also expressed their agreement.
Apparently they all agreed that the risks of "Embers Are Going Out" were too high.
Once there is a loss, it will be the military expenses of the rebels that are lost, which is really painful.
Zhao Zhen's proposal was more prudent and easier for them to accept.
Chen She thought about it and nodded: "Okay."
On the one hand, he considered that if he pushed forward this Mewtwo and ended up losing money, his prestige in the eyes of the person in charge would be damaged, and it would be difficult to carry out his future work.
On the other hand, I also think that in addition to the inevitable money-losing Mewtwo "Embers Are Out", we can find a way to develop a smaller Mewtwo as a backup and make a small profit.
By then, if one of the two Mewtwo succeeds and the other fails, it will not only consume the rebels' financial resources, but also not damage their prestige.
Maintaining a dynamic balance in this way is most beneficial to yourself.
Chen She said: "In that case, I will think about the other Mewtwo when I get back."
"The main task of this Mewtwo is to achieve a surprise victory, to leverage a relatively large profit with as little cost as possible, and to serve as a supplement to "Embers Are Going Out"."
Everyone reached a consensus on this.
As for the details in the development of this Mewtwo, the other responsible persons have no right to interfere, so Chen She can give full play to his abilities.
Chen She said to Zhang Sirui, "I will stay in the company for the next two days to finalize the development of Super Dream. You can go out and pick a few locations for Super Dream Experience Stores for me."
"Once the company's affairs are settled, the construction of the Super Dream Experience Store will also begin simultaneously."
Zhang Sirui nodded: "Okay, Mr. Chen, leave it to me."
…
After the meeting, Chen She took a short rest in his room and briefly conceived another super dream plan.
It’s just that most of his inspiration was drained away by “The Last Embers”. Inspiration is not like water in a sponge that can be squeezed out.
Chen She racked his brains for a long time but still had no idea. He decided to go to the Mewtwo R&D department after lunch to learn about the specific rules of Mewtwo's development.
After I have arranged all the matters concerning "The Embers Are Going Out", I will think about it slowly.
Since its inception, games can be said to be an art of dancing with shackles.
Mewtwo is an advanced form of the game, but it also cannot escape this rule.
The so-called shackles here are actually the level of technology.
The gameplay content of the game will be limited by the technical level and investment. Only when the technical level is reached can many gameplays be produced.
An excellent designer should try his best to optimize the gameplay and content of the game within the limits of his technical skills.
Although the sensory experience that Mewtwo brings to players completely crushes traditional games and movies, its development is not without cost.
Likewise, the input-output ratio must be considered, and it must be considered which aspect of limited resources should be emphasized to have the greatest advantage.
With the same amount of money, you may become rich overnight, or you may lose everything. It is very exciting.
Overall, the solution for "Embers of Demise" is a sound one, and the cost can be high or low. Judging from the situation of "Out of this World", there should not be any difficult-to-solve technical problems.
However, if another Mewtwo that is being developed simultaneously wants to make a small investment and get the most profit with limited investment, it is necessary to deeply consider the production rules of Mewtwo.
Fortunately, Chen She has relatively rich theoretical knowledge, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to understand the production of Mewtwo in this world.
After lunch break, Chen She got up and went to the Super Dream R&D department.
…
When we arrived at the Super Dream R&D department, Zhao Zhen was already waiting there.
In Chen She's memory, there was no definite person in charge of the Super Dream R&D department.
The Mewtwo game "Battle of Despair" was conceived by the original owner and developed by Zhao Zhen.
Mewtwo can be used for daily training, and the members of the resistance army originally came from all walks of life, so there are many talents in the resistance army who know how to use the Mewtwo editor. Zhao Zhen gathered them together and developed "War of the Desperate Situation".
As for why Zhao Zhen took the lead, it was mainly because no one in the resistance army knew how to design Mewtwo. Zhao Zhen was relatively mature and considered things more carefully, so the original owner threw this task to Zhao Zhen.
But Chen She must be somewhat dissatisfied with the current structure of the Super Dream R&D department.
Because Zhao Zhen has too much say, after all, he is a veteran of the company. Chen She is worried that he cannot fool him as he pleases, and he has to replace him with someone who is absolutely obedient.
Thinking of this, Chen She said to Zhao Zhen: "Uncle Zhao, letting you take the lead in developing Mewtwo was just a temporary measure."
"As a senior executive of the company, you are responsible for all aspects of the affairs, which takes up too much energy. I intend to promote a new person in charge of the Chaomeng R&D department. What do you think?"
Zhao Zhen was not angry, but very happy: "Of course, Mr. Chen, I was just going to ask this question even if you didn't say it."
"But can we find the right person within our company?"
"Before, I was asked to take over temporarily because we couldn't find anyone with the talent for Mewtwo design."
Chen She glanced around and took in the entire Mewtwo R&D department.
He casually said, "I think we can let the little girl have a try."
Zhao Zhen looked in the direction of Chen She's hand and said with some surprise, "Are you talking about Lin Luxi ? She is our Mewtwo editor. She is indeed very skilled in using the Mewtwo editor, but she hasn't played Mewtwo much. In terms of design concepts... I'm afraid there are some shortcomings."
When Chen She heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
I am so lucky that I can just click on the most suitable candidate!
Her proficiency in the use of the Mewtwo Editor shows that she can create Mewtwo smoothly.
And Mewtwo hasn't been played much, and his gaming concepts are somewhat lacking, so isn't this just allowing himself to be fooled?
In fact, the reason why Chen She chose her was mainly because of this girl’s appearance.
This young girl named Lin Luxi has picturesque eyebrows and eyes, a bright look, and a pair of lively big eyes that are indescribably cute.
Her facial features are delicate and exquisite. Her chubby face seems to be wearing a smile and she has two shallow dimples, just like her name, like a naughty deer jumping across the stream.
Chen She solemnly declared that he is not a lolita complex.
Whether it's a cute loli, a cool queen or a domineering queen, Chen She actually accepts all of them as long as they are good-looking.
The reason why Chen She chose her at once was mainly because this cute girl stood out among the rebels.
There are many female rebels in the Chen Group, and there are also several leaders. But these heroic female warriors all look like heroines, and are not inferior to men at all.
Chen She wanted to pick someone with a simple mind who was relatively easy to fool to be the head of the Mewtwo R&D department. Lin Luxi won directly with his innocent appearance.
After being selected, Chen She found out that she was the super dream editor of the R&D department.
Isn’t this a coincidence ?
Chen She immediately made the decision: "Then it's her!"
"The lack of design concepts can be slowly developed. That's easy to say."
