Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 205 Internal Disagreement
A meeting is currently being held in the conference room at the Nisso Entertainment headquarters in Nissan.
Sitting at the main seat of the meeting was President Kimura of Nissan Entertainment, and the main topic of discussion at this meeting was "H1Z1", which has been very popular on overseas game platforms recently.
The novel concept of battle royale is said to have originated from a genre in Nissan literature, and the Nissans also made a movie called "Battle Royale" based on this genre. The Nissans are considered the pioneers of this adrenaline-pumping, tense and exciting genre.
Because this genre was so popular with the audience, the West later began to create works based on this genre, resulting in literary and artistic works such as "The Hunger Games".
As the ninth art, the gaming industry is naturally unwilling to lag behind. After a game based on the battle royale genre, "H1Z1", came out from Nisso Entertainment, its refreshing game content accumulated a large number of player audiences around the world in a short period of time.
Today, "H1Z1" ranks among the top in overseas game platforms and is the most popular game for a while.
However, although it is a game produced by Nissan Entertainment, the person who created "H1Z1", the world-famous battle royale game, was someone else, not the Nissan people who pioneered the battle royale.
Instead, it was an ordinary bearded foreigner, Brandon Green. Now Brandon Green has not yet gained the reputation of "Father of Battle Royale".
But at this moment, Brandon was sitting in the conference room, looking a little uneasy.
It was a bit difficult for Brandon to listen to Nissan people giving work reports in authentic Nissan English, but after all, they are all working, and they should work hard to make money. This principle is universal.
"Last week, the new sales of our company's H1Z1 on the Steam gaming platform exceeded 100,000 copies, and the number of online gamers per day has steadily increased, ranking among the top on the current Steam platform..."
"Many players have shown strong interest in the 'Battle Royale Mode' that was later launched, and the player base far exceeds the original survival mode..."
The game "H1Z1" was originally a sandbox game focusing on doomsday survival, with popular zombie elements. It allows players to play the roles of humans and zombies to fight against each other. The survival mode also supported the early "H1Z1".
The addition of Brandon Green brought a new gameplay, the Battle Royale mode, and successfully took "H1Z1" to a higher level!
"Not bad results, thanks to the changes brought by Brandon. This battle royale mode is really eye-opening." President Kimura praised with a smile.
Brandon nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you for the recognition, Boss. But I think the current situation only reflects the potential of the battle royale mode, and it is far from the upper limit."
"If the focus of subsequent game updates can be placed on the development of the battle royale mode, I think our game even has the potential to dominate the Steam platform." Brandon said confidently.
However, some people expressed different opinions. "Although I agree with Mr. Brandon's statement, I still have to say that the apocalypse survival mode is the core of our game. Currently, the vast majority of our players are still fans of the apocalypse survival mode..."
The person who spoke was the head of the original project team of "H1Z1". Although the joining of Brandon Green brought new changes to the game "H1Z1", it also formed an invisible competition between the new and old factions.
Especially now that the battle royale mode is in full swing and has received higher ratings from players, the original project team of "h1z1" is under a lot of pressure. In order to fight for their own interests, the person in charge has to speak up.
And he really thinks so. After all, the main body of the doomsday survival mode was proposed and perfected by him. In his opinion, "h1z1" is his work, and the doomsday survival mode is the core.
The battle royale mode is just a small dessert after dinner or tea, which brings more excitement and happiness to players by virtue of its novelty, but in time, players will definitely return to the survival mode.
Where there are people, there will be struggles, and naturally there will be factions. But in the final analysis, it is still a struggle for interests. After all, the projects that everyone is responsible for also determine their bonuses and treatment.
President Kimura, who was sitting in the upper seat, gestured with his hand with a friendly expression, "What you two said makes sense. These two modes are an indispensable part of this game. Only when the two of you lead the project team to work together can this game become better..."
As a leader, President Kimura is well versed in the art of balance. Although he also feels that the battle royale mode seems to have great potential, Brandon Green is a newcomer after all, so it is reasonable for him to dampen his enthusiasm.
Brandon was not surprised by President Kimura's reaction. He just sighed and sat down without arguing. After all, such discussions had happened several times before, and the results were roughly the same every time.
Instead, the person in charge of the original project team breathed a sigh of relief and gave President Kimura a grateful look.
President Kimura enjoyed it very much and nodded slightly to him. At the same time, he felt very proud in his heart and said, this is the way to control people.
There was nothing worth mentioning about the content of the meeting afterwards, and it ended quickly. Brandon returned to his office and cursed after closing the door.
"Shit, they don't understand the potential of the battle royale mode at all. This is the future development direction of FPS games. As for the bullshit apocalypse survival, the outdated zombie elements should have been eliminated and thrown into the trash long ago."
Brandon cursed indignantly, but he could only talk about it in his office. Before joining Nisso Entertainment, he wanted to make use of this platform to make a big splash.
After arriving, he found that everything was not as smooth as he had imagined, and he was not comfortable here. The most important thing was that there was no way to perfect a battle royale type game that he wanted.
If he were fully responsible for "H1Z1", he would even cut out the doomsday survival mode and focus on developing the battle royale mode. In this way, "H1Z1" would definitely achieve more dazzling results than it is now.
But ideals are always so full, while reality is so skinny. Brandon Green felt helpless about this, but this idea had already taken root in his heart.
Brandon returned to his computer, turned it on, and prepared to vent his complaints on the gaming forum he often visited. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned on the computer, he was prompted that he had received an email.
Because people in Europe and the United States are accustomed to using email systems for work, they attach great importance to emails and will not ignore them easily. Brandon is no exception. He casually clicked on it and began to read the English letters above.
"Dear Mr. Brandon Green, the battle royale mode of "H1Z1" created by you is really fascinating. My old swan, in my opinion, this mode is the real core of "H1Z1", and you who created the battle royale mode, I would like to call you the 'Father of Battle Royale'..."
The series of highly complimentary words greatly benefited the depressed Brandon, who felt so relaxed that he felt as if the beard on his chin was smooth to the touch.
"Is this a thank-you email from a loyal player of the Battle Royale mode? That's really thoughtful." Brandon muttered .
After all, few players would think of thanking the game author for playing a fun game, just like liking to eat eggs does not mean you will know whether it is a rooster or a hen that laid the eggs.
