Game production: I created Mihoyo

In mid-October, the summer heat gradually faded.

Except for the art team, everyone in the Penguin mobile department was working overtime.

《It is very simple to imitate the art materials of"My World". It took less than a week for more than a dozen people in the art team to complete it.

However, the development team can only rely on overtime to catch up with the progress, and if they work overtime, the planning team can only stay to work overtime. If there is something wrong with the planning case and no one can be found, it will be a big problem.

After a month, this group of people are full of fairy spirit.

The leader of the planning team always feels that he can fly while walking. When he was sitting in his seat and was confused, he received a document sent by Ma Zhiyuan.

A paid design document for a new game.

He opened it and looked at it for a while, and was dumbfounded.

1. Classify the blocks. High-level blocks can only be used by paying or monthly card users.

2. The game adds a monthly card. After purchasing the monthly card, all blocks in the game can be used within the monthly card time limit. The monthly card is priced at 30RMB.

3. Add block experience card props. Use one prop to experience one block in one game.

4. Add a skin system, which is divided into common, rare, epic, and legendary skins, which can increase the character's movement speed and other attributes

……

Among so many words, he could only see two words - outrageous.

The team leader shed bitter tears after reading this ridiculous statement.

Can such a game be played without paying? The entire game is fragmented.

And this is even in the presence of competing products, which is forcing the game to a dead end.

Damn, this guy surnamed Ma doesn't think this is the era when Penguin was the only one in the market, right?

When this plan goes online, he will be the one scolded by the players, and he will be the one to take the blame if the game dies.

"It’s still better to use the old Mr. Wang. He is very professional and at least he won’t do such outrageous things."

This thing must not be put online! The team leader got up and ran to Ma Zhiyuan’s office.

**

"Is there a problem?"

"Mr. Ma about the paid design just now……"

The team leader was stuck in his words, and he couldn't just say that the design was worse than a dog's.

So he hesitated for a moment and then said,"The design is very good! It's just that our game may not be suitable for it.""

"Why is it inappropriate?" Ma Zhiyuan's face obviously turned cold.

The team leader said stiffly:"With this design, you need at least 30 RMB to experience the complete game, which is suspected of forcing krypton. How about we directly change it to a 30 RMB buyout, and then add in-app purchases such as skins?"

"Do you know how much money we will lose?"

"But at least we have to ensure the most basic gaming experience.……"

Ma Zhiyuan interrupted him forcefully:"Do you know the game"Out of Fire"?"

The team leader nodded in confusion.

This is a PC FPS game, and it is also one of the games that made Penguin famous. It is said that at its peak, it made 8 billion yuan a year.

"I designed the charging system for this game. When I wanted to launch hero-level weapons, I was opposed by everyone. But I pushed forward and launched the hero-level weapons. In the end, the hero-level weapons became a big hit. Do you know how much extra money I make for Penguin every year?"

The team leader was speechless after hearing what Ma Zhiyuan said.

"But……"

"Players can afford 666RMB or 888RMB, so can’t they afford a monthly card for 30RMB?"

"but……"

"If you feel that you can't do it well, I can send someone to replace you."

The team leader gave up. He really wanted to grab Ma Zhiyuan's clothes and yell,"Sir, times have changed."

But he didn't have the courage to do so. In the end, he could only walk out of the office with his head down.

**

Three days later, Ma Zhiyuan decided on the name of the game,"Mini World".》

"Mihuoyou? Your traffic is mine, your players are mine, and your income is mine. Let me see how you fight me." The first trailer of the game was released that night. At the opening, a small island appeared, and a cube man was building a building with various cubes.

【This is your world】

【Here you can play as you like.】

【The gameplay depends only on your imagination】

【And you can play with multiple people】

【Call your friends to join the mini world together】

This promotional video immediately caused an uproar as soon as it was broadcast.

The players responded very enthusiastically.

"The penguin logo was photoshopped into Mihoyo's, and there is absolutely no sense of incongruity. Isn't this the promotional video for"Minecraft"?"

"This is an old traditional skill of the Antarctic beasts. They can’t make games without copying, right?"

"I want to play"Minecraft" so badly, it's not impossible to use"Mini World" instead"

"Mihoyo, you better hurry up, Penguin is about to release it after copying it"

"Strongly resist"Mini World"》！"

Players were cursing at every news item.

But the strange thing was that the media seemed to be blind to such an obvious plagiarism incident, and no media stood up to speak out.

Not only that, some media started to praise"Mini World", from the UI to the gameplay, and finally praised the online creative mode of"Mini World", while also implicitly mocking that"Minecraft" only has a single-player gameplay.

"Games are only fun when played with friends. I still choose"Mini World"》"

"Hi, this kind of game must be produced by a big manufacturer with guaranteed"

"Looking forward to it, whoever comes out first will be the one to play."

In this way,"Mini World" relied on the same gameplay to get the traffic of"Minecraft", and sent a large number of water army to clean up the market, becoming the most popular game at the moment.

While the players were disgusted by Penguin's actions, they all began to stare at the official account of Mihoyo, looking forward to what kind of response Mihoyo would make.

However, what the official account of Mihoyo sent out surprised everyone.

‘《The first digital CD of"Honkai Academy 2" is about to be released. The CD includes the theme song"The Songstress of the Collapsed World", Seele's character song"Black Night Snow", Theresa's character song"The Day the Stars and You Disappeared"》……’

Everyone: ???

Penguin blatantly plagiarized and promoted it, but Mihoyo didn't say a word when it mocked them?

"Mi Huyou, you better be more careful!"

"It's over. I feel like Mihoyo is afraid of Penguin."

Even Ma Zhiyuan began to believe that Mihoyo didn't even have the courage to fight Penguin.

"A small company with such courage is worthy of being a rival to Penguin? Wang Xiansheng, Wang Xiansheng, you are such a loser."

At this time, the version of"Mini World" has been completed and passed the internal regression test, so he is ready to launch the game directly.

Ma Zhiyuan happily hummed a little song and made arrangements.

**

At a meeting at Mihoyo Company, the operation girl asked,"Brother Shuo, Penguin copied our game, why didn't we do anything? Some people on the Internet said that we were afraid of Penguin."

Su Rui, who was sitting in the corner, had already started to imagine: the strong Penguin pushed the skinny Mihoyo down roughly, and the weak Mihoyo endured it silently but dared not say anything.

Xu Shuo said calmly,"Don't worry, you have to find the right time to kill him with one blow."

Xiao Lin asked,"What time?"

At this time, Xu Shuo's mobile phone vibrated slightly, and he took a look at the pushed message and raised the corners of his mouth slightly

"The time has come."

He pushed his phone in front of everyone, and a piece of news appeared on it.

——"《mini world will be officially launched on the 24th of this month."

Su Rui continued to imagine: Penguin was about to do something bad to Mihoyo, but found that Mihoyo's was much bigger than Penguin's, and finally Penguin was forced under him.
