Build a game empire from scratch

Lin You adhered to the principle of "win and run" and resolutely refused to give Fan Rui a chance to make a comeback.

After leaving a full set of development materials and technical backup, he immediately ran away.

Even if Fan Rui upped the ante and said, "If we lose, I'll wear it for a week, and you can choose the clothes. If you lose, we'll pretend we never made this bet," Lin You didn't agree.

The remaining employees began to experience and discuss the new gameplay developed by Lin You.

This gameplay is still some way away from being fully mature - after all, Lin You only spent half a day on it, so it can't be perfect.

But it is not unusual for the boss to show the way and the employees to be perfect.

Moreover, this gameplay already has a framework and prototype, which is much better than just leaving a few keywords and letting the plot planner lose his hair like crazy...

With less than an hour left, everyone tried to play a few more rounds after getting familiar with Lin You's gameplay.

In the first round, 1 versus 10.

One [Flying Instrument Master], fight 10 [Cybomorphs] and [Mechanical Warriors].

——In order to facilitate communication, everyone has temporarily given code names to the three strengthening routes.

As a result, after sniping and killing three people at a very long distance, the pilot was killed at close range, and then he was beaten so violently that he almost called his mother.

In the second round, substitutions were made, 1 versus 5.

The flying instrument master was beaten violently again.

In the third round, another substitution is made, 1 vs. 1.

After careful preparation, the result of the flying instrument master was even worse - he was successfully attacked by the modified man and was captured directly.

In the fourth round, substitution, 1 vs 1.

The flying instrument master ran and fought at the same time, without appearing in front of the weapon warrior during the whole process, and was crushed without any injuries.

…

After rounds of actual battles, everyone determined two things:

First: [Flying Instrument Master] is full of uncertainties, the upper and lower limits are outrageous, the playability is extremely high, and the difficulty of getting started is also extremely high.

Second: The boss may really not be a human being.

After personally experiencing the battle of the Flying Instrument Master, they were astonished by Lin You's control accuracy, thinking speed, information processing ability, instant judgment, and instantaneous calculation power!

Considering that it took him less than half a day to conceive, design and practice this style of play, it is even more outrageous!

I can't think of any other adjective besides "not a human being".

After that, everyone began to discuss how to increase the lower limit of [Flying Instrument Master] and the upper limit of [Cybomorph] and [Mechanical Warrior].

This is also one of the concepts that Lin You has said: If in a game, you find that a certain profession or a certain gameplay is very strong, and it is not because of a bug, then instead of mindlessly weakening it, it is better to reasonably strengthen the weak one. .

This is especially true for stand-alone games.

Although the same goal is to seek a "balance", the players' feelings are completely different.

Looking at the busy development team, a sneaky figure quietly disappeared into the development world of "Cyber ​​Chang'an".

5 minutes later, Yunmeng official Gui Ye Xiaohe released an update——

"Big news!

Our boss was very dissatisfied with the "Chang'an" development team and beat up the backbone of the team!

Just now! One person shoots 20! The whole team was made to doubt their lives!

The boss was also hit in the face with a brick during the conflict, and his face was covered in blood!

So scary! "

——

When netizens saw this news, they all had question marks on their faces.

I don’t know whether to blame Ye Xiaohe for being too bold in spreading rumors and Lin You, or complaining about her carelessness in spreading rumors, and how dare she make up outrageous lies like 1 against 20.

Some people also speculated whether this was some kind of novel propaganda technique.

Until Lin You suddenly appeared in the comment area and asked Ye Xiaohe: "Are you very free?"

Ye Xiaohe was trembling with fright.

Not because of Lin You's comments, but because Lin You suddenly appeared behind her, patted her on the shoulder and asked this sentence.

"Is the game ready?"

"Have you thought of a name?"

"Is the trailer finished?"

The three deadly questions made Ye Xiaohe almost speechless.

He would just nod his head and say, "It's coming soon."

Lin You shook his head, picked up Silly Dog Milkshake from behind her, and went home with Xiao Meng.

*

No one believed that "Lin You had a physical conflict with his men".

Because that afternoon, someone photographed Lin You, who was "hit with bricks and his face was covered in blood." He walked out of the company door without even a hair being injured.

Players can only guess: whether the inner ghost Ye Xiaohe is hiding some "code words" and wants to secretly convey some secret news.

But by the next morning, no one was discussing this "rumor" at all.

because--

A surprising piece of news came out, instantly overpowering everything else!

# Kinshasa Mecha

The video that He Peng showed to Lin You on Monday morning suddenly spread explosively after being delayed for one day!

This was much later than Lin You expected.

——He thought it would explode yesterday afternoon.

After all, this is the reality of mecha combat, and it happened on the streets of a country's capital, and it achieved crushing combat results.

It perfectly possesses all communication elements.

It only took a day for the news to spread, which already surprised Lin You.

But now that it has exploded, the heat of discussion can no longer be concealed.

Netizens from all over the world are hotly discussing the combat capabilities of the mecha and discussing more modification possibilities.

Some people also suggested that the country form a mecha army and put them into service as soon as possible. They also said that they had many hours of actual combat driving experience and that if they were to drive themselves, they would definitely be stronger than the real driver...

Had a great time chatting.

[Titan Manufacturing], which had long been prepared, also quickly issued a statement, declaring that "weaponization modification seriously violates the user agreement", "runs counter to [Titan Manufacturing]'s philosophy of pursuing peace", and "refuses to perform any maintenance on this mecha" and all after-sales services including maintenance”, and will “impose stricter restrictions on buyers of medium-sized mechas”…

He said a long series of words to express his "unsupportive" and "unhappy" attitude.

But the specific punishment measures only have five words:

Your after-sales service is gone.

The only effect of this statement is to add a new topic for netizens to talk about.

Not only has the popularity of related discussions not decreased, but it has become more and more heated.

Together with the sales of "Pacific Rim" and the number of players online in real time, they have also increased.

This outrageous "advertisement" completely exceeded the expectations of the development team and made everyone look confused.

In the game world of "Pacific Rim", small and medium-sized mecha battles, which had been tepid before, suddenly became a fanatical pursuit.

Before lunch, various "classic reproduction" videos appeared in the evening.

Many netizens and bloggers reproduced the appearance of the mecha in real life, found street scenes that were very similar, and called friends to reproduce the battle.

Almost fake.

By the afternoon, various "story re-creation" videos based on this battle began to pop up like mushrooms after rain.

Everyone’s creative enthusiasm is gushing out, and there’s no stopping it!

Finally, there was even a completely unexpected impact——

At 12:30 noon the next day, that is, 8 a.m. Persian time, Yunmeng received an official email from the Persian Ministry of Commerce.

They expressed in the email that they hoped to negotiate with Yunmeng about lifting the ban on Mirage and entering the virtual world into Persia.

Lin You was quite surprised when he saw the email.

He still has some general ideas about the server stationing in America, but there is really no way to deal with Persia, and he has basically given up.

But now, Persia actually came to discuss this matter!

This is an obvious sign of concession.

But why?

Why did the other party's attitude suddenly change?

Lin You was a little confused.

But I still can’t figure it out. Since the other party took the initiative to extend an olive branch, let’s accept it first!
