Chapter 66: Project Confirmed, the Unsinkable Dream Ship
"Mr. Chen, are we really going to implement this plan next?"
In the office, Lao Song and Lao Li were sitting opposite Chen Lin and couldn't help but ask.
What was projected on the big screen at this moment was the plan that Chen Lin had sent to them yesterday, which was also the culprit that made them unable to sleep well all night.
"Yes, let's see if you can do it first."
Chen Lin has a lot of plans in his head, but he can't create a game out of thin air. It depends on whether his employees can do it.
If even Lao Song says it can't be done, then no matter how good the plan is, it will be useless, so he has to listen to their opinions.
"If it's done, there won't be any problem, but... the investment might be a bit high."
Old Song and Old Li looked at the picture being played on the screen.
It was a huge cruise ship sailing on the sea.
It looks like a white palace floating on the water, or like a shining pearl under the night sky.
To use Lao Song’s words.
This cruise ship is simply a work of art.
Even the word "luxurious" cannot describe it one ten-thousandth of the time!
After being stunned for a long time, he took a deep breath and said seriously: "Leave it to us Liming, I will make it no matter what."
"It's the same for us at Dawn." Old Li immediately responded.
"That's good." Chen Lin finally smiled. "The most difficult part of this plan is modeling, so I hope that your two teams will work together and do their best to restore the scene on this cruise ship to its true form."
"Don't worry. We at Dawn have never lagged behind in modeling. How about we leave the optimization of the details to Poxiao?"
"Okay, leave it to us."
The two of them talked back and forth and quickly divided the work between them. Then they discussed the various production issues and the porting of VR equipment on the spot.
Two full hours.
Finally, everything was arranged properly.
The printed paper plan also has dense red marks and some precautions on it.
Although they didn't sleep well the previous night, Lao Song and Lao Li were still energetic and not sleepy at all.
Because they can't wait to make this game.
"By the way, Chen Lin, what is the name of this game?"
Before leaving, Lao Song suddenly turned around and asked .
"Name?"
Chen Lin glanced at the design on the screen, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Titanic, its name is Titanic."
That’s right!
This is the solution he came up with after much thought.
Make the movie into a plot-based puzzle game.
He wants players to experience the desperate tragedy that takes place in the icy sea from a first-person perspective!
This is also the reason why he suddenly decided to make VR games.
"Titanic, the unsinkable dream ship..."
Old Song murmured the name in a low voice, with an unprecedented light flashing in his eyes.
He didn't say much, but just tightened the plan in his hand, turned around and left the office, and went outside to gather the employees.
…
"Hurry, hurry, I heard that the new game plan has been finalized, and Boss Song wants everyone to come over for a meeting!"
Outside the meeting room.
The production team members who received the news quickly gathered together, their faces full of tension and anticipation.
Because it is almost the end of the year.
The more projects they undertake and the better the sales, the more year-end bonuses they can receive, so naturally they hope to take on more projects.
Especially the newly established Dawn Team, which is now gearing up to do a big thing.
"I don't know what kind of game it will be. It makes me a little nervous."
"I just saw Mr. Chen and his team discussing this in the office for the whole morning. It must be a big project."
"You can tell just by looking at it. Both the Dawn and Breaking Dawn teams have been called over. This is quite a big deal."
"Okay, okay, the bigger the better. I'm just worried he won't come."
"I can smell a big bonus already."
Compared with other manufacturers, Honghuang’s welfare benefits are already top-notch.
As long as you work hard, you can get more bonuses.
The rewards are entirely dependent on your efforts.
And with the precedent of Lao Li, it is obvious that this is a hint that their boss likes internal promotions, which makes them feel that there are huge opportunities for promotion.
Who wouldn't be willing to work hard for a company like this?
“Here it comes!”
Suddenly, a shout came from the crowd.
The tightly closed door of the conference room opened, and Lao Song and Lao Li walked in from outside holding documents.
Seeing the solemn expressions on their faces, all the employees were shocked and the entire conference room became quiet in an instant.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get down to business."
Old Song continued to act in a swift and decisive manner, and got straight to the point as soon as he stood still.
Old Li sat aside and followed his speech.
In order to maintain confidentiality, they did not reveal the entire plan, but only announced the division of labor among their respective teams and the subsequent production plans.
But even so.
The employees below were still shocked by the sophisticated hull structure, and there were exclamations in the conference room for a while.
"What a complex structure! Does this game really have to be so detailed?"
“The 3D rendering of the boiler room alone would probably take several days to complete!”
"Oh my god, what is this? An engine assembly? You want to make this?"
"There are 15 displacement tanks. How big must this ship be?"
" Boss are you sure we are playing a game?"
Everyone couldn't believe their eyes.
They had never even seen such a plan, let alone implemented it.
It’s not that it can’t be done, but the investment and the return are completely disproportionate. The picture alone has reached movie-level precision, and the cost is extremely high.
Only because they have the powerful Honghuang self-developed engine can they dare to take on such a project, but they also have to increase investment in equipment.
"Yes, you heard it right." Old Song said seriously.
"This project is related to our first quarter financial report next year. I promise here that as long as it can be successfully completed, everyone's bonus will be increased by one month."
One month bonus!
Everyone's heart was shocked, and a gleam of light suddenly flashed in their eyes.
When we looked at the design plan again, we suddenly felt that it was much more pleasing to the eye, and no one questioned it anymore.
Less than an hour.
The meeting ended successfully.
Everyone took the assigned work and hurried back to their workstations.
Old Song and Old Li stood aside, watching them busying around, their eyes full of emotion.
"I'm afraid Mr. Chen will brag too much at this developer conference."
“I just hope the game can be successfully developed. After all, this is our first VR game and we don’t know how the market will respond.”
In fact, Old Song is very unsure now.
Although he is very optimistic about this plan, he does not have the final say in the market.
Whether it will work or not depends on whether the players will buy into it.
This is how it is in this business, you never know if the game you make will be a hit, it's like a gamble.
"By the way, didn't Mr. Chen just say that we still need to recruit some extras?"
Suddenly, Lao Li thought of something and said.
There are quite a few characters in the movie Titanic.
Especially with regard to the appearance requirements for the male and female protagonists, it would probably take a lot of thought to find candidates who meet the requirements.
But Lao Li's mind was obviously not here, and he continued to ask: "Boss Song, what do you think of me playing the captain's first officer?"
"First mate? You?" Old Song glanced at him. "You're more likely to play the part of the boiler room guy, the first one to be drowned when the ship sank."
Lao Li: ???
