"Good! Very good!"
As soon as Gu Sheng said the name, he heard the little Nezha sitting at the top of the conference room cheer, followed by applause!
Gu Sheng was frightened.
What the fuck is good about this?
Is this a wonderful name?
The conference room froze for half a second, and then thunderous applause broke out.
Crash——
“Okay, okay…”
'OK……'
"What a nice name..."
"Mr. Gu is amazing..."
"…No? Why are we applauding?"
Amid the applause, Dajiang looked dazed and lowered his voice to ask Lu Bian, who was smiling, clapping and nodding beside him.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Lu Bian's expression remained unchanged, and he lowered his voice without moving his lips:
"How the hell should I know? If Mr. Ou claps, we'll clap along. But if the big boss claps, why don't you join in?"
"oh--"
rational!
Dajiang nodded.
For a moment, there was thunderous applause in the conference room, as if Overwatch had become a huge success.
Then, Shen Miaomiao raised her hand, and the conference room became quiet again.
"Mr. Gu,"
Shen Miaomiao looked at Gu Sheng:
"I have a little idea about this project. Can I mention it?"
"Well… …"
Gu Sheng was very surprised. He obviously didn't expect that the little Nezha, who always said yes to the company's projects, would have his own ideas this time:
"certainly."
joke!
After all, Little Nezha is the president of the company!
Have you ever seen a president who has to seek the vice president’s approval before making suggestions on a project?
This is also thanks to the fact that there are no outsiders at the conference table, otherwise who knows what people outside would say about me!
Seeing this, Shen Miaomiao grinned and then opened her notebook.
Crash——
The little bastard who turned over the pages!
final.
Shen Miaomiao's hand pressed on the latest page of the notebook.
Gu Sheng, who was standing next to him, also raised his eyebrows slightly.
It's amazing.
But see!
In little Nezha’s little turtle notebook, the latest page is filled with all kinds of notes!
Juanxiu's notes were neatly arranged, just like the key notes she took in high school, densely packed.
Look at your own records!
Shen Miaomiao is full of confidence and feels a great sense of accomplishment!
Ha ha!
This is the secret recipe for losing money that I compiled after staying up late at night!
As she thought about this, Shen Miaomiao secretly glanced at Gu Sheng who was very interested.
Humph, Old Gu, you don’t know that every time when it’s late at night and everyone is asleep, I will sneak into the studio while you are asleep to look up all kinds of information and reviews about "Garden Warfare"!
Although my dream is to be a salted fish that lives in peace with the world.
But before becoming a salted fish, you still have to roll it up!
For this project, I read a lot of information and reports, as well as reviews from various media and comments from senior game industry insiders!
and!
The most important point!
This time, I have fully mastered my attribute of “the more I want to lose money, the more money I make”!
History has proven countless times that every time I think about making a game lose money, the ideas I come up with will become the game's big selling points!
Like the vampire survivor game mode, like the weapon-free setting in Phasmophobia.
And the opposite of that.
The more she wants to make money, the more likely the project is to lose money!
For example, the sequels that she had thought of before but denied by herself.
This feature has been confirmed countless times in the past three years.
I'm such a reverse engineering genius!
After Shen Miaomiao understood her own characteristics, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
so.
This time, Shen Miaomiao directly used reverse thinking!
As long as I try my best and leave no stone unturned, I sincerely want to make this project a huge profit!
So!
This project will most likely result in losses because I’m trying too hard!
If the project loses money...
Hehehehe.
Ten billion, ten billion, you can’t spend it all in your lifetime!
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao's little face was filled with an expectant and satisfied smile:
"Then I will simply tell you what I think."
"Of course, I'm not a professional either. If Mr. Gu has any different opinions, we can discuss it."
Speaking of.
Shen Miaomiao looked towards Gu Sheng, her eyes emitting a wise light with a hint of pride.
I will retire after I finish this job, so I'm sorry, Lao Gu, you have to use my foot washing water!
"Hum,"
After clearing his throat, Shen Miaomiao looked at his notebook and said:
"First, let's talk about the core shooting mode of the game,"
"In Garden Warfare, we still continue the setting of the second-generation FPS, but through variations, we make the second-generation FPS aiming mode more cartoon-like,"
"In general, the settings are good. After all, they are what we are good at. There are no problems with the adjustment and smoothness of this system, but——"
Speaking of this.
Shen Miaomiao changed the subject:
"I also learned from many media reviews and player feedback that in such a fast-paced small-map game with a wide variety of guns and supplemented by skills, the second-generation FPS setting will actually cause a certain burden to players,"
"Mr. Gu has mentioned this before,"
“So I suggest that in this game, we should abandon the second-generation FPS that we have always been stable in, and re-enable the virtual crosshair setting of the first-generation FPS to make the rhythm of the game smoother.”
Wow——
As soon as these words came out!
There was a quiet commotion in the conference room.
In fact, at the beginning, when everyone heard Mr. Ou was going to speak, they were basically 30% serious and 70% respectful.
It means to respect others, to analyze others, and to agree with others.
Don't ask me whether I listen or not, just see whether I respect you or not.
After all, in the past three years, Mr. Ou has attended only a handful of meetings, and everyone knows that Mr. Ou doesn't know much about game project design. On weekdays, he is basically a mascot that everyone loves.
Therefore, everyone did not prepare too seriously for Shen Miaomiao's speech at first.
Leave professional matters to professionals.
Ultimately, the project still has to be in the hands of Mr. Gu.
but!
I never expected it!
Today, Mr. Ou spoke!
It actually hit the sore spot of the project, pointed out the problems with the shooting mode in "Garden Warfare" in just a few words, and boldly enabled the virtual crosshair setting!
hiss--
Everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Swish.
Jiang Yun opened his notebook and took off the pen cap.
All of a sudden, the sound of notebooks being opened could be heard.
All the senior executives of the entire Gold Experience Group frowned slightly and listened attentively to Mr. Shen's analysis and guidance.
There’s something…oh no…a lot of something!
Mr. Ou is serious today!
She obviously came prepared!
Seeing this, Shen Miaomiao was very satisfied, nodded, looked at the eager expressions of the Golden Experience executives, and continued:
"Of course, as a sequel to Garden Warfare, we have to change some of the shortcomings of Garden Warfare, but at the same time, we also want to continue to carry forward and pass on the advantages of Garden Warfare,"
"For example, in the game modes 'push cart' and 'capture point',"
“These two modes, whether based on our in-game statistics or the voices of players, are a successful innovation of the current inherent FPS game mode,”
“We have to keep this in mind.”
“We will still use them as the basic modes of our Overwatch project, but we will actively expand the map pool to avoid players’ gaming experience being too repetitive.”
Rustle, rustle——
No one spoke in the conference room. Jiang Yun and others were taking notes seriously, hoping to integrate and fully implement the leadership's requirements during the game development process.
And Shen Miaomiao continued:
"The third point is the picture style,"
"Recently I've seen political correctness in Europe and America become very popular. Regarding the skin color of the game characters, and even the question of beauty and ugliness... there are huge disagreements and it's caused a lot of controversy,"
"And at this point, I see a lot of opposition from players,"
"I think that originally white people should not be painted black, and beautiful characters should not be drawn ugly."
"Deliberately catering to correctness is actually the greatest discrimination,"
"I couldn't agree more with that,"
"I also hope that everyone will not give up the pursuit of aesthetic standards that are pleasing to the eye just because of so-called correctness."
Rustle, rustle——
Rustle, rustle——
Now, not only was it a golden experience, but the steel chain finger team headed by Sato also made records in their notebooks.
"at last,"
Shen Miaomiao looked at her notebook:
“That’s also the most important point!”
Hearing this!
Everyone pricked up their ears and focused their eyes on Mr. Shen's face.
Shen Miaomiao put on the pen cap and said solemnly:
“Never try to teach a player to play a game.”
That’s it!
The meeting room was silent for a moment.
Then, applause suddenly broke out.
Snap, snap, snap——
Crash——
Gu Sheng nodded repeatedly and led the applause!
Suddenly, warm applause broke out in the conference room!
Every word is precious!
At this moment, all the executives couldn't help but stand in awe of Shen Miaomiao who was sitting in the upper seat!
Who said Mr. Shen is just a mascot?
Who said Mr. Shen only sells salted hairtail?
Listen! Listen!
This is a game plan that takes the best from the rest!
This respects the guidelines of players catering to the market!
It turns out that Mr. Shen, who seems to be idle and slacking off every day, has actually been quietly paying attention to the project and the market!
The saying "great wisdom appears foolish" is exactly what it means for people like Mr. Shen!
Gentle, kind, broad-minded, receptive to good advice, able to appoint the right people to the right positions and trust people when employing them.
Although he is full of strategies, he never shows off. Although he is wise but appears foolish, he can give guidance and enlightenment at the critical moment.
If I don’t work hard for such a wise leader in my life, how can I repay Mr. Shen’s kindness?
Amid the roaring applause, Shen Miaomiao grinned a little embarrassedly and scratched her head——
I'm really sorry, everyone.
Although the above ideas all sound like profitable improvements and suggestions.
But actually... because they were all proposed by me... so...
By then, the performance of this game will definitely suffer due to various reasons.
Knock knock knock——
Shen Miaomiao was tapping a small wooden fish in her heart, trying to recover some of the merits that had been deducted from her.
When everyone is working hard, I am the only one slacking off; when everyone is moving forward, I am the only one falling behind.
The problem is that the rewards of this system are too tempting.
The loss rebate is more than a thousand times. Let alone me, even if my dad came here he would find a way to make a big loss!
Just this once, just this once...
Never again, never again...
Shen Miaomiao muttered silently in her heart.
This time, I put all my effort into it.
The market says the second-generation machine aiming is not good, I will change it!
Players said it’s fun to push carts to occupy points, so I’ll do it!
My art style caters to the masses and rejects political correctness, and my production attitude is to follow the advice and put players first!
This project! It looks like it will make a lot of money!
But for me, making huge profits means losing huge losses!
Just do this one order!
Once I complete this order, I will be financially free and can live a peaceful and secure life!
Think of this.
Shen Miaomiao looked at Gu Sheng again:
"Mr. Gu, do you have any additional comments or corrections?"
Now, all that’s left is the final nod from the manager, Mr. Gu!
Hearing this.
Gu Sheng shrugged.
Little Nezha’s performance today was a little unusual, exceptionally good!
Everything she just pointed out was pretty much everything he wanted to say!
Even at the end, little Nezha particularly emphasized one point - [Never teach players how to play games]!
This is so fucking crucial!
Others may not know, but Gu Sheng knows too well the importance of this sentence.
After all, in his previous life, the reason why Overwatch, a game that once amazed the entire gaming community in 2016, declined and even became a hot topic was the sin of arrogance committed by its developer, Activision Blizzard!
But now, the source of the sin of arrogance that once led to the destruction of OW has been cut off by Little Nezha before it even sprouted.
Gu Sheng no longer had to worry about anything. He just had to recreate the glory of his previous life in this world, or even surpass the glory of his previous life!
"I think...very good,"
Gu Sheng nodded:
"I will bring the project proposal directly to the next meeting."
bite--!
And then the manager Gu Sheng nodded!
Shen Miaomiao also heard a crisp sound in her mind at the same time!
[Sub-project: Overwatch (unlocked)]
【Project investment amount: 0 yuan】
[Project settlement time:? days (+0 days)]
[Project rebate rate: 15 times (+0 times)]
[Current revenue amount: 0 yuan]

[PS: Settlement time cannot be generated for unlocked documents, it will be automatically generated after locking]
Fifteen times.
The sub-project documents for derivative works were generated successfully.
Amidst the discussion, Shen Miaomiao silently retrieved the odds purchase voucher from the system warehouse.
[Ding! You have used the purchase voucher x1! Please select the rebate rate you want to purchase! ]
[Note: Once the rebate rate is locked, it cannot be modified. Please choose carefully]
Hiss——Hu——
Listening to the system's prompts, Shen Miaomiao took a deep breath silently.
The opportunity to be a salted fish forever is right in front of you!
At this moment, an inexplicable song suddenly rang out in Shen Miaomiao's heart: If the heart is there, the dream is there, it's just...
Hey hey hey!
Shen Miaomiao quickly shook her head and got rid of this unlucky song.
Then, make up your mind!
Thinking about how I, Shen Miaomiao, have been able to travel around the world for so many years, all I rely on is one word - recklessness!
It was like this before, and it is like this now!
How many chances do we have to fight in our life?
All in, is a kind of wisdom!
[Ding! You have used the purchase voucher! ]
【Consumption: 10.03 million yuan! 】
[Multiplier increase: 1003 times! ]
[Project rebate rate: 15 times (+0 times)] → [Project rebate rate: 15 times (+1003 times)]
