National Game Producer

182 Can I play this game in advance?

A few days later.

He Jiu received the invitation from the senior sister a few days ago and followed him to the place where the game club usually gathers.

Before that, he specifically asked Yu Suai and Liu Xiaoji what they thought. When he learned that none of them were interested, he had to shoulder the responsibility of being a senior and a coach for the seniors alone.

"By the way, after our former coach knew that you were coming, he came to our club activity room to wait for you."

When we were about to arrive at our destination, my senior suddenly mentioned something.

The two had exchanged names and contact information when they first met.

The senior student’s name is Qin Mengjia. She is a junior at the School of Psychic Applications. She is also the main person in charge of the game club. She is usually responsible for handling various matters within the club, large and small.

"The most powerful professor of applied spiritual power at Qingda University?" He Xun asked.

"Yes." Qin Mengjia nodded.

"What does he want from me?"

"Maybe I just want to see you?"

"..."

He Jiu was silent for a moment and asked, "Does Professor Lu have so much free time?"

"Whether he is free or not depends on who he wants to see." Qin Mengjia smiled.

"Hmm..." He Jiu pondered and stopped talking.

If a professor from the college came to visit him in person, it would probably not be as simple as just wanting to see him.

...The other party most likely wants something from him.

To be honest, he has encountered similar situations no less than ten times in the past three months.

If those elders in the game industry just wanted to provide him with some simple game production suggestions, that would be fine.

But the suggestions made by some elders, or things they wanted him to do, were really outrageous.

To describe it simply, those people probably think that "Firebringer" has become the first person to create new types of games in the gaming circle. He must strictly regulate his game content and should make games like "xxx", and

Games like "xxx" should not be made.

——To this day, they are still thinking of using the same methods as before to restrict the current gaming circle.

It seems that no matter how the gaming industry develops, people like this will never disappear.

Perhaps, this is the diversity of human beings.

He Ji no longer wanted to pay attention to these people.

However, Professor Lu is a member of the college after all, and he will have to give him some face.

Moreover, for professors at well-known universities, the possibility of thunderstorms is ultimately much smaller than under normal circumstances.

'I hope he will be a professor who is easier to talk to.'

He groaned silently in his heart.

One minute later.

The two walked into the club activity room of the game club.

There were only six people in the activity room.

——Three men, two women, five young people, and a fat middle-aged man with a kind face.

When He Zhen entered the door, he saw five young people chatting and laughing with a fat middle-aged man.

It seemed that their relationship was far more harmonious than he imagined.

And this Professor Lu seemed to be younger and easier to get along with than the ordinary professors he imagined.

"Are there so few people in the club?" He Xi asked curiously.

"They are preparing to participate in the competition. If others come together, the activity room will be crowded..." Qin Mengjia said as he walked forward and introduced both parties.

Professor Lu, a slightly fat middle-aged man, took the initiative to walk up to He Xu, stretched out his hand, and chuckled:

"I was so excited to hear the news that you came to our college that I didn't sleep well for several nights... If I hadn't happened to have some things to deal with a few days ago, I probably couldn't help but come to you when you first registered for school.

is you."

"Professor, you are too polite." He Xu smiled and shook his hand.

"You're not being polite."

Professor Lu shook his head and said with a serious look, "In terms of making new types of games, I am indeed not as good as you... There are a lot of things I can learn from you."

"Professor, so are you." He Jiu agreed.

no way.

He could only answer this way.

The other party knows him well, but he knows nothing about the other party.

If you ask him to praise the other person's merits, isn't that making things difficult for him?

"You guys can talk first, we will discuss our matters later." Professor Lu smiled and stepped aside very consciously.

He Ji nodded and turned his attention to the remaining five students.

The five students couldn't help but become nervous.

Originally, although they admired He Ji's achievements in the current gaming circle and had no objections to letting him be the game coach, before today, they were somewhat undisciplined and would unconsciously regard this matter as a

It was a joke, treating He Xiu as a young junior student who could hardly correct his mentality.

However, after seeing Professor Lu's enthusiastic and proactive attitude and hearing the other party's somewhat outrageous and humble speech, they were completely confused.

Who is the professor and who is the student?

Why does a freshman deserve to be treated with such an attitude by a university professor?

Has the status of the "Fire Bearer" in the circle really reached this high level?

"When does the game start?" He Xin asked.

"January." Qin Mengjia replied.

"Years ago?"

"right."

"Where is the competition place?"

"Pingbei."

"Sure enough, we are still in Pingbei..." He Xu couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.

"We still have nearly four months, should it still be late, right?" Qin Mengjia asked.

"It's probably still too late, right?"

He Xu looked at her with confusion, "Why do you ask like that?"

"Well..." Qin Mengjia pursed her lips tightly, not knowing how to speak.

He Ji turned his attention to the five students.

The five people avoided sight one after another.

He Ji: "?"

Are these guys okay?

Is this question difficult to answer?

"Cough~"

Qin Mengjia coughed slightly, raised his hand and scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment, "Actually... in the competitions in the past few years, we couldn't even qualify for the division, let alone go to Pingbei to participate in the finals."

"You can't even qualify for the division?"

He Xu was slightly startled, "How many participating teams are there in a competition area, and how many qualifying spots are there?"

If the qualifying conditions are too harsh, they can't be blamed for this.

"There are about forty to fifty participating teams in our competition area, and there are only ten qualifying places." Qin Mengjia replied.

"only?"

He Xu was completely confused, "This is a one-fifth chance of qualifying!"

Qinglin University is one of the top fifty prestigious universities in China.

...How did you manage to fail to qualify even one of the five choices?

He really wanted to ask this question, but he really couldn't.

The other party is already in such a miserable state, so why should he use irritating words anymore?

I guess even the other party feels that it is embarrassing for him to be like this, right?

"Our level is indeed not very good." A boy said weakly.

He Xu turned his head and glanced at him, was silent for a moment, and then turned his attention to Professor Lu beside him.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Professor Lu was a bit dumbfounded, "Although I also want to take all the responsibility on myself, the main responsibility for this matter is really not on my side. At most, I bear a secondary responsibility."

"...Then who has the main responsibility?" He Fu hesitated for two seconds, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"them."

Professor Lu raised his hand and pointed at the students next to him, "The main reason is that they are too bad."

Students: "..."

Professor Lu, are you polite?

"Um……"

He Chu pondered and looked away, then changed the subject and said, "In other words, our initial goal is not actually to win the championship, but just to qualify in the competition area?"

"Well, actually, it's not impossible to set the goal in the direction of winning the championship." Qin Mengjia said softly.

"Can I really do something that even Professor Lu can't do?" He Jiu really didn't have much confidence.

"Actually, Professor Lu...well, he usually doesn't have time to teach us." A girl explained aloud.

"Oh..." He Ji nodded thoughtfully.

Does this mean that not only the players are bad, but the coaches are also bad?

It would be a shame for a team like this to qualify!

Everyone continued to exchange a few words about the competition, and finally entered the free time.

Several students began to practice playing games; He Jiu walked aside and started chatting with Professor Lu.

"What game are you planning to play next?" Professor Lu asked bluntly.

"One is a first-person sandbox game that has been prepared for a long time; the other is an action game with shooting elements." He Chu also answered without hesitation.

"Sandbox? Shooting?" Professor Lu felt that the amount of information was a bit large.

"Shooting games shouldn't require any more explanation from me, right?"

He Xu smiled and said, "If you really can't imagine it, you can refer to the design of "Portal"."

After a slight pause for half a second, he continued, "Let me focus on explaining the sandbox game."

He found a chair and sat down, "The core gameplay of sandbox games is creation, which means using the basic objects provided in the game to make something of your own, and then use it to slowly change, influence or even create.

A world.

"The game basically does not have a fixed plot flow. The player's main goal is to survive, explore and build, until finally creating a unique game world of their own."

"Is it like "The Forest" without the main plot?" Professor Lu quickly reacted.

He Xu was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "It's almost the same, but our new game is much more free than "The Forest"... At least, in our new game, players can run back and forth between countless islands.

, without having to worry about being blocked by an air wall, let alone being restricted in the activity area by the main mission.”

He paused for two seconds and said thoughtfully, "Or, you can imagine this world as an open world similar to the real world... You can go wherever you want; you can create whatever you want to create.

what."

"Open world..."

Professor Lu was immersed in imagining such a game in his mind, then swallowed his saliva and looked at him eagerly, "When can I play this game?"

"This month."

"When exactly?"

"Not sure yet."

"Can't you tell me in advance?"

"Um……"

He Xu pursed his lips slightly and asked, "Why don't you ask, 'Can I play this game in advance?'"

Professor Lu's expression was slightly sluggish.

Yes, the producer of the game is right in front of him!

He can obviously skip the "waiting for release" stage and directly obtain the new game from the other party in advance!

Maybe this is the benefit of having a relationship?

"Then can I play this game in advance?" Professor Lu asked.

"No." He Ji shook his head.

"..." Professor Lu looked at him with a complicated expression.

If he were not an old professor who needs to take into account his personal image, he would definitely be in a hurry with the other party.

He Ji showed an apologetic expression: "The game is not completed yet, and when the game is completely completed, we should put it on the shelves immediately, and there won't be much time left in between, so..."

"Understandable."

Professor Lu nodded and said calmly, "Then I'll just wait for it to go on sale."

"Feel sorry……"

He Xu bowed his head sincerely, and then brought the topic back to the beginning, "You asked me about the next game. Do you have any ideas or suggestions?"

"Yeah, I almost forgot the most important thing!"

Professor Lu reacted and corrected his expression slightly, "Well... I just want to ask you, do you plan to make an online social game with a weak plot in the future?"

"That's the next game."

He Xu replied nonchalantly, "Why do you ask this?"

"Oh, then you should do it well, but don't let others block this type of game." Professor Lu nodded.

He Ji: "?"

Professor, can you please speak properly and stop being a Riddler?

As if he understood the unkindness in his eyes, Professor Lu explained with a smile:

"Someone came to me a few days ago and said they wanted me to help them focus on how to design and produce a weak plot online social game. I said I would think about it and give them a reply after a while."

"Research on weak plot online social games..."

He Xu frowned slightly and vaguely thought of a possibility, "Who are they?"

"People from big companies."

"big company?"

"A big, big Internet company."

"oh……"

"So you have to work hard!" Professor Lu said seriously.

"We will."

He Ji nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Professor, will you agree?"

"I want to see your new game first," Professor Lu replied.

“And learn from it?”

"...Have you always had such a bad character?"

"The main reason is that Professor you are too kind." He Xu said shyly.

"The subtext is that I'm easier to bully, right?"

Professor Lu smiled helplessly, and then replied seriously, "The purpose of watching your new game is to determine how much potential you have in this area. If I feel that you are equally invincible in this area, I will probably agree."

Their invitation...at least this will not make the gaming industry go astray again."

After a pause, he added, "Then I can also get sufficient scientific research funds."

"Understood." He Jiu nodded.

Studying weak plot online social games...

What is supposed to come will come anyway.
