Otherworldly Architect

The black "Soul of Mortal" is absolutely black and unmoving, especially during the Blue Star Carnival, the popularity of players is simply unparalleled.

It's impossible to play "Pioneer of the Herd" at all.

This game has only been released for about a month, and it is already cool and thorough, and even the reputation of Tingxi Studio has slipped all the way to the bottom.

Inside the cruise capital, not so good voices have begun to appear.

Several capital bosses originally took a fancy to Zhu Wenshu's "talent" and wanted to make his game more commercialized to make money.

But now let alone money, even the most basic enthusiasm is owed, which makes people doubt Zhu Wenshu's ability.

Zhu Wenshu wandered around in the company and did not hesitate to sell a property he had invested in. Finally, he managed to please a certain immediate boss and agreed to give him another chance.

But this time, there is less room for him to play.

The dead order above is: no matter what the subject, no matter what the background, as long as you make money!

If the profit reaches the company's expectations, we will give Zhu Wenshu the investment to continue to announce; but if it fails to meet the passing line, then the entire Tingxi studio will be cut off and reorganized, and Zhu Wenshu will be assigned to other teams and other projects. work to earn a living.

In short, in terms of Zhu Wenshu's arrogant character, he would never accept the latter ending.

At this time, Zhu Wenshu was already in a panic.

Ask himself, he doesn't actually know what kind of game can make money... He didn't know how to make a game like "Grip of the Empire" before, and he didn't realize it.

It was because of his instant popularity that the name "genius" was too loud, which made him think that he was really talented, and that he could play any game he really did.

But now he knew - talent? He doesn't seem to have talent! Otherwise, how could the results of "Pioneer of the Herd" be so dismal?

so what should I do now?

If the next game doesn't make money, he will reveal his true self. Then, let alone become famous, what to do with the gambling agreement with Cruise Capital...

That's more than three million in debt!

When it comes to the word "making money" -

Zhu Wenshu turned his attention to Tulong Baodao Studio, where the industry-famous "God of Wealth" is located.

Since the launch of "Idle Hero" last year, Tulong Baodao has successively acquired several small projects to operate.

With their good operational capabilities and good relationship with major platforms, these small projects still have good results, but they are not as dazzling as the results of "Idle Heroes".

Although there are already many people who are deliberately imitating them, they just can't learn the money-making skills of the God of Wealth.

After playing a few games, many local tyrants will sigh: "It's still a good game made by Tulong Baodao! It's cool if it's cool, and it won't be sloppy!"

But recently, Dragon Slayer Sword is said to have another project of its own.

Their chief designer is also used to being mysterious, and no one knows what he is thinking about and what the next game is going to do—if he knew, I am afraid that not many people will swarm to squeeze this outlet together.

But this is not absolute.

The so-called "money can make a ghost run the mill", if the money is for the sake of cruise capital, then many secrets are not secrets.

Although the cruise ship has not been able to find the identity of the God of Fortune so far, they have bribed an intern of the Tulong Baodao studio and obtained some internal secrets about the new project.

- Dragon Sabre Studio is currently searching for talents in 2D level production!

When they heard the news, everyone was equally shocked.

It is already the interstellar age, and there is very little two-dimensional entertainment. Only special nostalgic themes will use it.

Two-dimensional games are basically impossible to VR, and even if they are played on mobile phones, they lack a sense of substitution.

After all, the current trend is "the more real, the more fun"...

No, that was the trend three years ago.

Since the birth of Blue Star and Tulong Baodao Studio, many people in the industry have not been able to tell what the trend is.

The purpose of Tulong Baodao Studio to find 2D talents is very obvious. Their next game will definitely be a 2D horizontal version. This is confirmed by internal information.

Cruise Capital also successfully photographed a manuscript—

The manuscript of the legendary "God of Wealth"!

After all, it's a candid shot, and the shot is a little blurry, but it can still be seen that this is a level design.

The features of the horizontal version of the game are all available, and a matchstick villain in the middle should have graffitied the image of the protagonist.

This manuscript, in just a week, spread throughout the cruise capital and game-related business units.

Everyone held it in their hands as a guide, as if trying to get some truth out of this manuscript.

It's really hard work for Zhu Wenshu to get this picture.

Because everyone is not willing to spread too much!

All the owners of Cruise Capital are secretly competitors, and no one wants to hand over such "martial arts secrets" to their opponents.

But Zhu Wenshu had a hard time getting this drawing.

To be fair, the manuscript of "God of Wealth" is too abstract!

There is only a little matchstick man, standing on a two-dimensional level, with three floors up and down, it is estimated that he has to jump through the level.

There was a circle on the top, I don't know what it was, and there was a circle of weed-like things growing on the ground below.

Who knows what this is?

Zhu Wenshu locked himself in the study for a night and studied, but in the end he didn't realize anything.

I can only be sure that those things with arrows drawn should be some traps... right?

Zhu Wenshu looked at it, really wished he could vomit three liters of blood, found the "God of Wealth", and shook his shoulders: "I beg your manuscript to be clearer! Who knows what you have in this way? Inspiration!"

But even if you don't understand it, at least the tone of this "2D jumping adventure" can be determined.

The next day, Zhu Wenshu reported the subject to the contact person of Cruise Capital.

"The Dragon Saber is going to do this, it must be the next outlet!"

"The God of Wealth does not see a rabbit but not a hawk. So far, there has not been a game that has not made a lot of money. We have also investigated the market for two-dimensional breakthroughs. Now the core games are in short supply, and the player circle is also scattered. If This game is done well enough, and it is really possible to unify the world of two-dimensional games and make a hit directly."

"...Copy his level design? No, no, it's hard to imitate a ghost's way of thinking."

- Not only is it "difficult to imitate", it is simply impossible to read the manuscript.

Zhu Wenshu bit the bullet and explained: "We can combine this theme and make our own things. I think we can refer to the combat system of "Grip of the Empire", so that the new game has the weaknesses of both."

New games have to be successful.

This is about to make Zhu Wenshu stunned.

He is now pushed to the end of the cliff, and one step back is the abyss.

For this reason, he let go of all his pride, swallowed his voice, acted in a low voice, and even did the most shameless act of his past—

Yes, he not only copied the game system that he had succeeded in in the past, but he also completely accepted the design concept of others.

He completely lost confidence in his own judgment, but he was willing to believe that the "God of Wealth" who slaughtered the dragon and the treasured sword was the truth and the iron law.

After reading Zhu Wenshu's new plan, the person in charge of the cruise was half-smiling.

No blatant sarcasm, but his eyes were already very contemptuous.

- What game design "genius"? In the end, it is not exactly like everyone else, who crawls under the feet of capital for money, and becomes a **** with no professional ethics.

He said: "The new game is a horizontal version, right? I want to tell you in advance that there are dozens of project teams in the cruise ship, as you know, and there are countless people who have the same idea as you. This month's new opening You are already the fourth in the side-scrolling game project. If you don’t make your own characteristics and achievements, the headquarters will not treat you differently because of the manuscript of the God of Wealth.”

I wish Wen Shu understood what he meant, hurriedly showed a flattering smile, and repeatedly invited him to the evening dinner.

These days on the cruise, he was not good at anything else, but he became more and more skilled at eating, toasting, and flattering.

…

At this moment, Tulong Baodao studio, in a conference room.

Mingyan's avatar, sitting at the top of the conference table, talked freely about the manuscript on the screen:

"…To sum up, the focus of the new game will be on viewing and entertainment. This is a brand new attempt. According to my estimation, the volume of "Iwannagohome" will not exceed 100MB, including a total of three levels, Eleven horizontal maps and three bosses.

"A total of 8 people are present, which is all the main personnel of our game project. In theory, it should only take up to two months to produce results. So the price of this game-"

"I'm going to set a price of 1 yuan."

In the conference room, everyone discussed with each other in a low voice.

Chaoyang Alliance's 1 yuan is still quite cheap. Some people see it on the road, but they don't bother to bend over to pick it up.

"Minecraft" is already very surprising at the price of 6 yuan, it is simply a model game of high quality and low price.

Unexpectedly, the new game "Iwannagohome" is still going to be 1 yuan! This is almost free for players!

Rao is so, and no one has doubts about the God of Wealth.

Unlike in the Bluestar Studio, everyone in this conference room looks at "money".

Before the chief designer made a mistake, here was his talk, and no one would say anything about his decision.

Because so far, the chief designer has not said that he has missed a single time!

He said that the price of 1 yuan can be earned, so this is the right thing to do.

The only marketing person here even lowered his head and began to think of the corresponding advertising words.

At this time, the chief designer of the first one smiled and said, "By the way, let's contact the relevant live broadcast platform. Let's just say that our new project is very suitable for cooperation."
