Chapter 173: Game Data Leakage
"I outsourced the production of this animation a long time ago, and it just happened to be used in this recent game, so I took it out."
On the phone.
Chen Lin explained using the words he had prepared long ago.
It is precisely because the anime "Yu-Gi-Oh" is too long that it has to be released in advance.
Otherwise, if we wait until the comic convention to show it, it might take three days to finish.
And the rules used in this anime are the same as those of the game.
This is a good opportunity for players to understand the rules of the game in advance and pave the way.
After listening to the explanation, Su Peng finally came back to his senses and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I see, Mr. Chen is really generous. The price of a super long animation is not low. How do you plan to cooperate?"
"Sign a profit-sharing contract. The sooner it is released, the better."
"Are you sure?" Su Peng asked in surprise. "The profit-sharing contract completely determines the income based on the subsequent broadcast of the animation. If the broadcast data is not good..."
"Sure, our focus right now is on publicity, and we can relax a little on other things."
What a joke. The revenue from selling card packs of Yu-Gi-Oh! in a year is many times more than the revenue from an anime.
Would he care about such a small profit?
The most important thing now is to set up the stall quickly.
Su Peng also acts decisively.
After a moment's hesitation, he replied, "Since Mr. Chen has said so, I will inform the Audit Department right away. You can send someone to hand over the video file to us and confirm the contract."
"Okay, then I'll trouble Manager Su."
After saying that, Chen Lin hung up the phone and continued to deal with other things. By the way, he asked the administrator Xiaoli to book a flight to Qizhou in advance.
…
at the same time.
Miracle Company Headquarters.
A man sits in the shadows of an office, holding a phone.
"Are you sure this information is about the game you are currently developing?"
"Yes, we started making it two months ago. It took me a lot of effort to get this information. Don't forget what you promised me."
The voice on the other end of the phone was obviously flustered, as if he was avoiding something.
What was open on the man’s computer was the project information of the new Honghuang game.
Although it is only the initial version, it records a lot of basic information about the game and the development progress in the first half of the month.
"Don't worry. I will give you the promised liquidated damages and position. However, your information... is too limited. It's basically just some external information."
The man tapped the table lightly.
The voice came through the phone and made the person panic.
"It's not easy to get this information. It's usually not open to the public. Only a few high-ranking officials have access to the core information!"
"I know that it's not easy to get the core information, and I didn't say I would break my promise." The man smiled calmly, "With this information, at least we know what to do next. Remember to notify me if there is any new situation."
"good."
Seems afraid of being discovered.
The man responded and hung up the phone.
The man glanced at the communication interface, erased all the call records and traces, and looked at the information on the computer again.
"A card battle game?"
As he murmured, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
If it was any other type of game, it might be a little difficult for him to handle, but as for a card game, doesn’t their subsidiary have one that is currently being developed?
Then, he picked up the landline phone next to him and dialed the internal number on it: "I'll send you a document, add the above gameplay design to the game, and complete it as soon as possible before the exhibition."
After hanging up the phone, he casually opened a page and sent out several encrypted emails.
After doing all this, he lay lazily on the chair and waited patiently.
Not long after.
New announcements suddenly appeared under the official accounts of Miracle and several game manufacturers.
…
Bang!
The office door opened.
"Chen Lin, something terrible has happened! Miracle and several other companies just released an announcement, planning to launch several card battle games at this exhibition!"
Old Song hurried in from outside.
Not just him.
Now the entire player community is caught up in a wave of discussion because of this incident. No one expected that the manufacturers would release news about new games at this time.
And what a coincidence, the type of the game also coincides with the new game that Honghuang is developing.
"Yes, I have seen it."
Chen Lin, who was sitting behind his desk, was also staring at the message that had just appeared on his phone with a serious expression.
If this is a coincidence, it is too much of a coincidence.
Not only is the time the same, but even the game type is the same. No one would believe that it wasn't intentional.
These manufacturers are obviously coming for their new games and want to occupy their living space.
"Do you think there could be a traitor?" Old Song said with a gloomy face.
"That's possible." Chen Lin nodded silently. "We have always done a good job of keeping secrets, but now Miracle knows about the game information before we release it. There must be a data leak."
Stealing company secrets.
This kind of thing is very common in business competition.
Miracle and those manufacturers obviously don't want them to continue to grow, so they did this.
We plan to strike them hard when they are short of funds, making it impossible for them to recover.
This eliminates one future competitor.
"They think they can bring us down like this. They underestimate our game."
Chen Lin sneered and was not too worried.
In comparison.
What he cared more about was who leaked the information.
Although I know this day will come sooner or later, it still makes me feel a little unhappy when it really happens to me.
"I think I know who it is."
At this time, Lao Song suddenly spoke.
He frowned and looked at his phone.
"who?"
"Someone under me just sent me a message saying that two employees on probation resigned this morning without even asking for their salary for the past few days."
"Is it the new batch we recruited before?" Chen Lin raised his eyebrows.
Previously, due to the expansion of the online game team, a group of people were recruited in a hurry, so it is not surprising that there were omissions in the character screening.
"Yes, it's them. I've asked someone to check the surveillance footage and their criminal records. I'll hold them accountable when the time comes."
Old Song took a deep breath and rubbed his brows.
Such a big thing happened in the studio, it was all due to his negligence as the director, which gave other competitors the opportunity to take advantage.
Moreover, those manufacturers were obviously well prepared this time. Even if they are held responsible, it would be a matter of compensation at most, which is just a drop in the bucket for a big company like Miracle.
This is the fierce competition in the gaming industry.
It seems that the big move of the previous game has finally made those big companies feel threatened.
"Don't think too much. After all, Honghuang has only been established for less than two years. It's not surprising that they think we are easy to bully. This incident is also caused by our own lack of operational experience."
yes.
Everyone comes this way.
No one can do everything perfectly from the beginning; it's just a matter of trial and error as we move forward.
"So what should we do next? Should we change the game plan?"
If several manufacturers announce new games of the same type in advance, they will inevitably take away a large portion of the traffic.
The best way at this time is to avoid competition and change other plans.
"No need." Chen Lin raised his hand. "The core information is in the hands of internal employees. I have been working on the AR and holographic projection equipment. They have only stolen some basic information at most."
"That's true. The core data can only be taken over by signing the highest level of breach of contract, and they are all the most trustworthy people. So our announcement will be released as usual?"
"Send it. It doesn't take too long anyway."
"Okay, I'll do it right away, and by the way, I'll hold those two people accountable!"
As he spoke, Old Song's face turned cold and he turned and left the office.
soon.
An announcement was also updated on Honghuang’s official account and official website.
[Official announcement: To welcome the arrival of the "Asia Anime and Game Expo", Honghuang will launch a new card battle game and hold a three-day trial exhibition at the exhibition. Everyone is welcome to come and check it out. ]
Below the announcement, there are also several beautiful card pictures.
Basically, we select the most two-dimensional anime characters.
For a moment.
The already extremely lively gaming circle has become even more lively.
"What's going on today? So many new game trailers popped up all of a sudden, and they're all card games."
"They actually dared to release a card game after Miracle. This is too reckless."
"I heard that they invested Do they still have money to develop new games now?"
"I've seen the sneak peek of the new game of Miracles. Many of the card images are original paintings. The quality is really top-notch."
"Need I say that? Miracle spent two years developing this, and hired many professional artists. It's said that they invested nearly 500 million yuan."
Various voices continue to appear on the Internet, discussing several announcements that suddenly appeared today.
Many people are not optimistic about Honghuang’s hastily released new game.
After all, it has only been a short time since your Honghuang was established.
The time it takes to develop a game is longer than the time your studio has existed, not to mention the huge amount of money invested.
Releasing a similar game at this critical juncture would be tantamount to seeking one's own death.
certainly.
Some people also smelled a different flavor from it.
After all, the game Miracle has been in production for such a long time, and there has been no sign of it being launched, but it was suddenly announced at this time.
This is a bit intriguing.
…
What is even more unexpected is.
A day later, something big happened on Bilibili.
The second film in the Resident Evil series was suddenly launched on the homepage that was originally used to promote the web game.
A moment.
A large number of netizens who received the news flocked in to watch the movie.
Many players of the "Resident Evil" game also rushed to the scene after hearing the news, feeling both surprised and shocked.
They didn't expect that the second part of Hong Huang would be released at this time.
Is it really the same as what they say outside?
Honghuang is very short of money now and urgently needs to recover a wave of funds?
Not to mention the anime section.
Netizens who were looking for anime also noticed the changes on the page.
I don’t know when, a super long anime was updated and it was listed in the scrolling list of anime to be watched on the homepage.
"Yu-Gi-Oh? What a strange name."
“Has this anime appeared recently at home or abroad?”
"Ah, when did you buy this anime?"
"Fuck! Episode 224!"
"Where? More than 200 episodes?"
"Hi! They really uploaded the entire anime!"
Exclamations rang out one after another, and netizens were stunned by the long playlist.
Is this the way to catch up on anime on station B?
Generally speaking.
Catch-up anime can only be regarded as a supplement to the anime series every quarter.
Basically, they are all completed anime or completed anime whose copyright has just been purchased. They are uploaded in their entirety and are not counted as new anime of the season.
But the problem is.
This situation usually only happens in anime that have been completed for a long time and are not very famous.
I want to pull it out and continue the popularity.
However, this anime series called "Yu-Gi-Oh!" is not on the list.
Because they have never heard of this name, let alone how famous it is.
This made netizens even more curious, and they clicked on the anime to watch it.
As a result, it didn’t take long before all the anime-chasing groups were in an uproar.
"Guys! I found a very interesting anime!"
"Fuck! How can this show be so childish!"
"It's so damn shameful, and the key is that he looks so crazy."
"Especially when summoning gods, the music is so mind-boggling!"
"It made the Chuunibyou spirit in me burn so hard that I almost screamed out loud in the subway."
"Is this an anime adaptation of some game?"
The anime "Yu-Gi-Oh!" is extremely shameful even for these middle school boys.
Such an anime that is both childish and shameful makes them unable to stop watching it and keep watching it episode after episode.
Especially the exciting card battles and duel cards with different effects made them fascinated.
It would be nice if there were games like this in the real world.
No matter how expensive it is, they will buy it all!
However, what is strange is that the introduction and label of this anime do not indicate the producer, as if it appeared out of thin air, which is very weird.
