Chapter 240: A masterpiece! But abstract!
“As for the main project, our cooperation agreement with MOSIA came into effect this week and the first payment has been made.”
"Okay, we'll pay on time. What did they say?"
"The other party had no objection, saying that they understood our current situation of needing to accumulate funds to impact medium-sized game manufacturers, and said that the subsequent project payments could be appropriately delayed, and that they would resume payment on schedule after we officially announced the medium-sized game manufacturers."
"Mr. Moriya is very respectful, and MOSIA is also very considerate. We can become long-term partners in the future... What about motion capture?"
"In terms of motion capture, Kenji Tani's team has signed a contract with MOSIA. Although in theory they will not directly , considering the special nature of the project, Mr. Kenji Tani still hopes to have a video call with you to discuss the motion design plan. The preliminary date is tomorrow morning. What do you think?"
"Okay, this is a priority project. All issues will be paved the way for Sekiro. Tell them I have time."
"Okay, and Mr. Yan Shengyan from Yiyou Technology hopes to talk to you this afternoon to discuss the overseas market deployment plan for the somatosensory warehouse next quarter."
"Haha, they discussed Yiyou's overseas deployment plan with us at Golden Wind. If this gets out, I don't know how many people will be confused. Mr. Yan is really... I guess he has been holding it in for a long time. Reply and I'll call him this afternoon."
"Okay, and the development of Garden Warfare is basically complete. I need you to determine the release date."
"Ask Jiang Yun to come to my office at ten o'clock so I can discuss this with Brother Yun."
"Okay, these are the main issues. I'll go and contact them one by one right away..."
Monday morning!
In the president's office!
Shen Miaomiao watched Sister Chuchu and Lao Gu asking and answering questions at an incredible speed. The fried dough sticks in her hand were about to fall to the ground, and her mouth opened wide.
Oh my goodness!
Sister Chuchu must have mentioned a hundred things!
Lao Gu can not only analyze and process things in an orderly manner, but he can also make corresponding arrangements and carry out them according to plans.
Is this the processing speed that the human brain can achieve?
Did my parents install a fake CPU for me?
Why can Lao Gu achieve a processing speed of 16 cores, but I can't even reach 6 cores?
Back then, when Lao Gu went to Japan to produce Silent Hill PT, he was in charge for a while.
The feeling of trying hard to restrain herself from letting information pass through her mind without leaving a trace, and her brain boiling and burning brain cells trying to make arrangements, is still fresh in her memory today.
At that time, she was wondering what kind of life Lao Gu lived every day. He had to deal with so many things every day but his life was not messy at all.
Now, she witnessed it with her own eyes.
I have to say.
The job of being at the helm is not something that everyone can do.
Just as she was thinking, Chu Qingzhou turned to look at her: "Boss Shen, do you have any other instructions?"
“I…I…”
Shen Miaomiao opened her mouth and pointed at the soy milk in front of her:
"Is there any sugar? I...the soy milk isn't sweet enough."
Chu Qingzhou: ...
"...I'll bring you a sugar cube later."
Chu Qingzhou was speechless.
There is a sense of disconnection, as if I had just finished playing the role of a top workplace elite and now I have to turn around and make pancakes.
"Besides that?"
Chu Qingzhou hopes Miaomiao can give some constructive opinions and suggestions.
Shen Miaomiao blinked her eyes:
"I want to eat tofu pudding tomorrow, is that ok?"
Chu Qingzhou wanted to slap himself twice.
I really have nothing better to do. After such a long time, I still have such unrealistic fantasies about the young lady.
"Okay...I'll buy it for you tomorrow,"
Chu Qingzhou sighed in his heart:
"More garlic juice and chili oil, right?"
"Yes!" Shen Miaomiao gave a thumbs up, her big eyes shining: "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Chuchu!"
Chu Qingzhou almost vomited blood.
Fortunately, we have Mr. Gu!
Thinking back to when Gu Sheng first applied to join Golden Wind, I actually had some doubts.
Let’s look at it now.
This home——
…
"...Without Xun Teng, he will be gone."
Afternoon time!
Gu Sheng and Yan Sheng held a conference call.
Gu Shenggui is now the vice president of the company, so Yan Sheng basically contacts Gu Sheng directly for all matters, big or small.
Neither of them was the type to waste time, so after a brief greeting, they got straight to the point.
Nothing else .
Of course, I am talking about the "Sekiro" project.
Gu Sheng was not surprised at Yan Sheng's accurate guess.
After all, as the helmsman of a comprehensive gaming company, Yan Sheng was able to create miracles in just two or three years and surpass Xun Teng in the market. In addition to having a keen eye for talent (yes, Gu Sheng was bragging about himself), a keen sense of smell and grasp of timing were also indispensable.
Gu Sheng didn't hide much, there was no need.
He laid out his ideas and related preparations in detail, causing Yan Sheng to gasp.
Motion sensing cabin action game, MOSIA motion capture studio, Kenji Taniguchi's team completed the action...
Each piece of news was secretly surprising.
More importantly, this will be the first “3S”-level masterpiece produced by Golden Wind since its establishment!
That is to say.
Once they announce that their disposable net worth exceeds 1 billion, enter the ranks of medium-sized game companies, and obtain tickets to the Tokyo Game Festival, the project will be fully launched.
By then, they would have spent all the billions they had just earned before they could even warm their hands to the sky.
This is another gamble that will empty the family's savings after "Titanfall"!
But it is more dangerous than the situation in "Titan's Fall" -
In terms of experience accumulation, before the development of Titanfall, Golden Wind had the foundation of two second-generation FPS works, Left 4 Dead and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
But "Sekiro" does not have this premise. Even looking at the global gaming circle, action games launched in the somatosensory cabin are rare!
As for the opponents, Titanfall was originally facing the three admirals of Xun Teng, and at best it was just showing off its power in the country.
But Konami is a dominant force in the global game market!
Such a life-threatening gamble!
It's really terrifying.
so!
Gu Shengcai proposed——
This time, Yiyu and Xun Teng will also need to form a temporary alliance.
Because only in this way can they barely get one-tenth of Konami's share in the motion sensing cabin market and provide sufficient platforms for games.
Yan Sheng definitely doesn't want to do that.
The temporary alliance formed with Xun Teng during the previous "Escape" project allowed Xun Teng's market share to increase by several percentage points.
Now that the "Sekiro" project is collaborating again, the gap is likely to narrow further.
"How about this, Mr. Gu?"
After a moment's silence, Yan Sheng said:
"In terms of commission, we can give an additional 5 percentage points, only 15%, but..."
Before Yan Sheng could finish speaking.
Gu Sheng interrupted him with a smile, waving his hands repeatedly:
"Boss Yan, Boss Yan, you misunderstood. I am not here to ask for concessions today. And our Boss Shen has also said before that you must confirm your company's commission rate and strictly implement the 20% standard."
Gu Sheng is not making this up.
This was something that little Nezha specifically instructed.
According to little Nezha, this move is to prevent Golden Wind from being criticized. Otherwise, if Yiyou makes concessions all the time, how will others view Golden Wind?
Backdoor? Connection? Acting like a big shot?
This isn't even the case with large-scale game companies, but they're already taking advantage of the platforms every day. If they really grow big in the future, what will happen?
Besides.
They are a company that has been officially praised. Wouldn't such behavior disrupt market fairness? How could they take the lead?
In this regard, although Gu Sheng felt that it was a bastard not to make money, but what little Nezha said seemed to make sense, so he took the opportunity to inform Yan Sheng.
This posed a big problem for Yan Sheng!
It seems that Golden Wind is determined to organize an alliance once again this time to officially start the battle with Konami!
Silence for a long while!
Yan Shengcai slowly opened his mouth and said:
"How about this, Mr. Gu, please give us some time,"
"Regarding the matter of uniting Xun Teng, I need to discuss it with the senior management and give you a reply as soon as possible."
"It's okay, no rush."
Gu Sheng also knew Yan Sheng’s concerns.
In fact, if the opponent this time was not Konami, or if the game they produced was not a 3S-level game, he would not have rashly raised this suggestion to Yiyou.
But special circumstances require special treatment.
After all, this battle is too important for them, Golden Wind.
…
This way!
Coordination and discussion on the "Sekiro" project are proceeding intensively.
And the other side!
Garden Warfare was also released unexpectedly on a Friday evening.
The reason why it is called "sudden".
The first reason is that its launch was not as grand as everyone imagined.
Even Golden Wind did not promote it too much.
Not to mention that it can't compare with the publicity and promotion of "Titanfall", "Escape" and "PUBG".
There isn't even the same level of publicity as To the Moon.
It's totally unlike the treatment a "major masterpiece" should receive.
Secondly, the development time of this project also surprised everyone.
Two months.
Not even close!
This speed couldn't help but raise a big question mark in the minds of media players.
In such a short period of time, let alone Golden Wind, even a big company like Konami would find it difficult to produce a high-quality masterpiece!
For a moment!
There was a lot of discussion in the gaming community, and everyone was curious about whether Garden Warfare was the "masterpiece" that Golden Wind was going to produce.
What will be the level of this "masterpiece"?
then!
Holding all kinds of questions!
Calling friends, Donggua called Eggplant, Liu Di and Xiaohei.
The former "Left 4 Dead" quartet reunited to experience the legendary official spin-off of the popular Plants vs. Zombies IP - Garden Warfare
“This cover…”
Come up!
Xiao Hei groaned inexplicably:
"It looks a bit cartoony, doesn't it? Is this... a masterpiece?"
On the left side of the cover, various plants look ready for battle!
Pea shooter, sunflower, cactus, big mouth flower...
And on the right side of the cover, there’s a lineup of zombies with very smart expressions on their faces!
Jelly Bean Shooter, Fat Worker, Crazy Doctor, Football Player...
Is it fun?
No doubt!
Very interesting.
But this thing...
"It looks like you can't do anything..."
Xiao Hei was very suspicious.
And the barrage is also full of emmmmm——
"No... this looks like... a 3D version of Plants vs. Zombies, doesn't it?"
"Yeah, it still feels like planting flowers and grass..."
"Isn't it an FPS game? Isn't this just using flowers and plants to kill zombies?"
"Maybe... the guns were replaced with plants?"
"Damn... holding a flower pot and fighting zombies? Isn't that too abstract?"
'It may also be to let you cosplay as a pea shooter to fight zombies (funny)'
"Hahahaha what a stupid setting! Golden Wind should hire you as a designer..."
'Looking at the tag, this game also has combat elements. Maybe you can even cosplay as a smart zombie (dog head)'
"That's possible, just like the PVP mode in the Left 4 Dead workshop, where players can play as special agents and fight against the main characters."
"I guess it's about turning plants into guns? For example, let the pea shooter's vines wrap around your hands and fire bullets."
"Hey——this guess does make some sense."
"Indeed, the one above that directly asked players to cosplay plants was too abstract. Even if Xiao Huang was more abstract, it would be impossible..."
The barrage ends here!
Before he finished speaking!
Then a scream was heard in the live broadcast room!
“Fuck – Winter Melon!!! I seem to have really turned into a Pea Shooter, damn!!!”
But see!
At this moment, Liu Di was standing in the game training ground!
Originally, he wanted to experience how to play the game first.
But I didn't expect that he would come in and lower his head!
I was completely stunned!
At this moment, he saw that he had already put on a "willow waist", with a vine waist as thick as a water pipe, and two leaves stretched out on both sides - they were his hands.
Look further down!
Below the enchanting waist of the vine were two thin roots that moved forward and backward with his movements.
Liu Di was stunned!
I walked to the 'changing mirror' in the training ground with a confused look on my face, staring blankly at myself in the mirror -
There are two tender buds on the smooth head, a pair of thick eyebrows full of fighting spirit, and a trumpet-shaped mouth pouting, looking serious and funny.
"I...I'm not fucking...?"
Liu Di has lived for thirty-four years!
I never thought that one day I would be able to see myself like this in the mirror!
There was silence for a full ten seconds!
Liu Di didn't know what was going on in his brain, as if there was a voice telling him that he had to do this.
He turned his head towards the open space in the training ground, shrank his neck slightly, and then suddenly leaned forward: "I - Bah!"
Pom!
With a crisp pop, a pea bullet shot out of his mouth!
The live broadcast room froze for two seconds!
then.
Explode instantly!
"Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!"
"I really like what the Golden Wind player said—"
'ah???'
'Haha ...
'The sound of the peas being fired is so crisp, hahahahahahahahahahaha... '
'HAHAHAHAHA I can't stand it! I really can't stand it! What a stupid game!'
"Is this made by a carbon-based organism?"
'I'll blow up the elephant tribe'
"Are you really asking players to cosplay as plants?!"
"This is really......"
"A 2B game I never imagined, hahahahahaha..."
'Great work! But abstract!'
"What a fucking abstract masterpiece hahahahahaha..."
