"As for the PVZ project, Brother Yun, you should worry more about it. We may not be able to give you too much support on the main project..."
"It's okay, Mr. Gu. The main project is important. I will ensure that I complete the task..."
"As for Sato-san, the reason why I want to transfer the main project to the steel chain finger is because our game style this time is more Japanese style, so you and Yuki need to pay more attention..."
"No problem, Gu Sang's steel chain fingers will definitely live up to their mission..."
"Okay, that's basically it for today's meeting. Everyone should go about their business. Make announcements and prepare as needed..."
"good--!!!"
There was a unified response, and everyone stood up.
"Oh, that's right,"
Halfway through the conversation, Dajiang suddenly remembered something and asked:
"Brother Sheng, what is the name of our main project? Or code name?"
Hearing this, everyone stopped and looked at Gu Sheng.
The name of the Plants vs. Zombies spin-off project has been determined, it is called "Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare", or "Garden Warfare" for short.
But Gu Sheng has not yet revealed the name of the main project.
"Oh, I almost forgot,"
Gu Sheng slapped his forehead:
"It's called 'sekiro: shadow die twice'"
"Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice"
The wolf is coming.
An unprecedented action game in this world is about to debut.
Although, in Gu Sheng’s previous life, the investment in this game was not high, and it was not even enough to be a 3A masterpiece.
But in this world!
Gu Sheng will rely on the motion assistance system to move it into the somatosensory cabin, allowing countless players to experience the thrill of personal blacksmithing!
They will face the huge and violent red ghost, the tyrannical and violent Yaxiao, the terrifying and charging fire bull, and the treacherous and eccentric monk who broke his precepts.
They would leap up from the castle tower, holding up the wind and lightning and thundering like a savage.
They'll maneuver through the reeds and compete with the sword masters in their prime!
The flames of war in Ashina Country have been ignited, and the loyal and brave wolves are about to wake up!
Should he die repeatedly and become a slave to his emotions that Gu Sheng can play with at will, or should he be reborn countless times and become a ninja who can cut off the immortality.
Everything will be revealed after this game is released!
What players don’t know is!
When one of them finally breaks the immortality, even greater challenges will be waiting for them in the future.
Because in faraway Lothric - the fire is about to go out, and the king is nowhere to be seen!
Three years!
Gu Sheng’s super masterpiece plan can finally be revealed!
Sekiro will be the first step he takes.
At the same time, this will also be the first time that Golden Wind will come into contact with a true 3S-level masterpiece!
They will travel to Japan to have their first real showdown with Konami!
Think of this!
Gu Sheng couldn't help but feel his heart pounding!
Looking around, little Nezha was also in high spirits, with his eyes shining!
There were only two people left in the conference room.
Gu Sheng smiled and said, "It's the first 3S-level masterpiece. Aren't you excited?"
Gu Sheng was very pleased to see little Nezha like this.
An iron rod can be ground into a needle!
Looking back to those days, little Nezha was still a gaming idiot and knew nothing about the industry.
And now, I heard that my company will also step into the international stage and develop 3S-level masterpieces, and I really started to get excited!
Isn’t this raising awareness?
Very good! Comrade Xiao Shen!
I feel very comforted!
"Ah...hahaha, so excited, so excited..."
Shen Miaomiao looked at the approving light in Gu Sheng's eyes and felt a little unworthy.
I mean, Lao Gu, our excitations may be different.
Indeed!
The first 3S-level work in the history of Golden Wind is about to be launched, which is really exciting!
But the loss prospects of the Garden War binary project are even more exciting!
Yes.
Shen Miaomiao was mainly excited about the Garden War.
That clever project that turns players into vegetables and dancing zombies.
The settings are ridiculous, the staff is understaffed, and the expectations are low.
The whole thing is just a tool project.
The father doesn't love you and the mother doesn't care about you, it's a good deal that loses money!
Expand the documents in your mind——
[Sub-project: Plants vs. Zombies - Garden Warfare]
[Project investment amount: 38 million yuan]
[Project settlement time: 7 days (+0 days)]
[Project rebate rate: 15 times (+0 times)]
[Current revenue amount: 0 yuan]
[Estimated rebate amount: 570 million yuan]
[Remaining settlement time: waiting to be opened]
The total investment is 38 million!
The original total cost estimate given by Gu Sheng was 35-38 million yuan.
But for Shen Miaomiao, she always takes the bigger rather than the smaller.
If Gu Sheng hadn't been worried that the high costs would result in the inability to recover more than 20 million in revenue, she would have dared to raise the cost of this project directly to 50 million!
The more you invest, the more you lose.
Of course!
The cost of 38 million is not low.
Especially with the 15-fold rebate multiplier at the start!
One week of settlement time!
The maximum rebate amount is 570 million!
Although!
Compared with the 100-fold rebate of “A Way Out”, 15 times seems a bit too little.
But think about it carefully, in a 38 million project, even if the loss is only around 660,000, the rebate that can be obtained will be as much as 10 million!
Ten million!
The last time I saw a rebate of 10 million was in the "Left 4 Dead" project!
If only it lost a little more!
Let alone buying a yacht, buying a lifeboat on the yacht is definitely enough!
Just save up slowly!
Anyway, Golden Wind is now running on two cores at the same time, and the speed of producing games has doubled.
Gather a lifeboat today, an engine tomorrow, and lay a plywood to assemble a private helicopter the day after tomorrow.
Here we have a luxury yacht!
happy!
Shen Miaomiao was very satisfied.
She even dragged Gu Sheng to the supermarket after work to buy some ingredients and baked small cakes at home.
The sun sets.
Gu Sheng stood beside the counter, processing the ingredients in his hands.
With the sound of the oven beeping!
Shen Miaomiao's voice followed:
"Wuhu! Great success!"
As she spoke, Shen Miaomiao, wearing heat-insulating gloves, brought over a plate of steaming small cakes.
While exhaling, she took out various small cakes from the mold, stretched out her little hand to fan the hot steam, and carefully picked up a small star-shaped cake.
He blew on it: "Hoo-hoo-taste it!"
Gu Sheng opened his mouth to accept the feeding. The dense and soft thumb-sized cake was sweet and exuded the aroma of milk.
"How about it?"
Shen Miaomiao pinched her earlobe with her little hand, perhaps because the freshly baked cake was a little hot.
Her big eyes were full of anticipation and her little face was rosy.
"Um--"
Gu Sheng smacked his lips:
"I can't taste it. Have another one."
Shen Miaomiao didn't doubt him and made another one for Gu Sheng.
"Tsk, not deep enough, here's another one..."
"Hey, this is quite interesting. It would be nice if there was one more..."
Until the seventh one is fed!
Shen Miaomiao finally felt something was wrong!
"Are you Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit? You are about to eat all my cakes!"
Realizing that he had been tricked, little Nezha became furious and jumped onto Gu Sheng's back, shaking him and asking him to return the cake to him.
"Hahaha, it's delicious. Isn't it delicious? I just want to eat a few more bites because it's delicious."
Gu Sheng laughed loudly, swaying left and right:
"Come on down, I have to cook."
"I won't! Just cook like this! It's a good exercise!"
Little Nezha's fair and slender arms tightly clasped Gu Sheng's neck, his legs wrapped around Gu Sheng's waist, his pink feet clasped in front of him, like a koala, refusing to get off:
"You cheated me out of my little cake, so as a reward you have to be a shaker for me! Sing!"
Gu Sheng couldn't help laughing as he smelled the faint fragrance of peaches. He shook the little Nezha behind him while washing the vegetables: "A chicken in the left hand, a duck in the right hand, and a fat baby on his back..."
Before he finished singing, little Nezha pressed his nose:
"Cut the song! I'm not fat!"
The sun sets.
The golden-red light poured through the large glass window of the kitchen, illuminating the two faces that were snuggling and laughing...
…
soon.
News about "developing a Plants vs. Zombies spin-off" quickly spread like wildfire.
According to "confirmed gossip", this time, Golden Wind has taken a fancy to PVZ's global influence and will focus on the development of "Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare" as the main project. The game will be jointly produced by Golden Experience and Steel Chain Fingers.
The news is out!
There are constant discussions from all sides.
Some people think that the combination of the two keywords "FPS" and "Plants vs. Zombies" is a winner for Golden Wind.
After all, Golden Wind is best at shooting games. From "Left 4 Dead" to "APEX", they have created one myth after another and pioneered one innovation after another.
Add to that Plants vs. Zombies, the groundbreaking IP that sold seven million copies worldwide in a single week.
Such a combination must be the best of the best. If the cost and development time are in place, it might even be able to achieve the same success as "Titanfall"!
But some people feel that the golden trend has shown signs of decline.
Not because of anything else, but because of the name of this game - Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare.
To put it nicely, this is a derivative work.
To put it bluntly, this is just relying on the capital gained from the previous work.
Perhaps this approach is understandable for other manufacturers, or even most manufacturers in the world.
But for Golden Wind, it is really worrying to blatantly quote the name of the previous work to the main project.
Because you have to know that before this, Golden Wind has always been known for "not being able to count to 2"!
Is "Vampire Survivor" popular? It created a genre!
No 2.
Is Left 4 Dead popular? The second generation of FPS is coming!
No 2.
Is Titanfall popular? It is a shooting game that goes beyond the ceiling!
No 2.
In the eyes of many people, the Golden Wind is like an eternally flowing river, and Gu Sheng is the source of its inspiration.
He has so many ideas! So many wonderful ideas that he wants to show the world!
So much so that he had no time to think about the sequel!
Even the only game that can barely be called a sequel, "APEX", was only released as a supplementary multiplayer mode for Titanfall!
That is to say.
Now, "Garden Warfare" is the only derivative work of Golden Wind that picks up the old capital and uses the IP of the previous work.
And it’s the main project!
what does that mean?
"Does this mean that the supernova is about to burn out?"
"Does this mean that Golden Wind is no longer able to innovate?"
"Or does it mean that the newly rising Chinese stars will repeat the same mistakes and become lost in the crowd?"
"Hahahaha, what the hell is this...you just write bullshit all day long..."
Office of the CEO of Yiyou Technology!
Yan Sheng browsed through the articles and reports about the pessimism of the gold trend by keyword, laughed, and threw his phone aside.
Then he leisurely picked up the teacup and took a sip.
On the opposite side was Vice President Lao Zhao who came to report the situation.
He came here because he noticed that the recent developments regarding Golden Wind seemed somewhat negative and wanted to report it to Yan Sheng quickly.
But unexpectedly, Yan Sheng was not worried at all after reading it.
Old Zhao was stunned:
"Boss Yan, Golden Wind is our top general, but there's something wrong with his current popularity."
"Hey, Lao Zhao, what do you mean by 'under our banner'? I dare not say that."
Yan Sheng waved his hand, signaling Li Xiaofeng to drink tea:
"Golden Wind and we have always been partners,"
"We don't have a studio like Xun Teng, so we can't say we're affiliated with it. Besides..."
Speaking of this.
Yan Sheng paused, then said:
"Although the rapid rise of Golden Wind is more or less related to our Yiyou,"
"But at this rate, I estimate that it won't be long before I have to run around a lot, give gifts to Mr. Shen, and treat Vice President Gu to dinner..."
hiss--
Hearing this.
Old Zhao was stunned, then asked:
"What Mr. Yan means is... we can trust Golden Wind and believe in their 'PVZ reputation + FPS genre' combination?"
However.
Hearing this, Yan Sheng paused, then burst into laughter:
"Big bomb? What the hell! It's just a small game with a small investment, and it's still in the somatosensory cabin. Where can it go?"
"ah?"
Yan Sheng's words obviously made Lao Zhao a little confused:
"Isn't this... Golden Wind's main project?"
"What is the main project?"
Yan Sheng waved his hand and pushed the tea bowl to Lao Zhao opposite him:
“If it was really a major project, why didn’t they say the cost?”
"If it's really a major project, why is it exposed as gossip?"
"If it's really the main project, why hasn't Golden Wind announced any signs of promotion yet?"
this--
Yan Sheng's series of questions left Lao Zhao speechless.
Too.
According to Golden Wind’s previous practice, once a project is confirmed for development, even if there is no publicity, at least Golden Wind’s official Weibo account and Gu Sheng’s personal social media account will mention it.
But this time.
The news about "Garden Warfare" seems to be just speculation among the public.
Golden Wind did not mention this so-called 'main project'.
"so……?"
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly came to Lao Zhao’s mind!
"So this isn't even their main project?!"
"Ha ha,"
Yan Sheng laughed out loud and gave an ambiguous and mysterious smile, as if he knew everything:
"Old Zhao, please clean up the projects we have on hand, organize them, and make arrangements,"
"If things go well,"
"As soon as the next quarter opens,"
"We have a tough battle to fight..."
