Rebirth of the Evil Life

"Mr. Wu, how is the development of those three web games going?" Lin Feng asked expectantly. (Read novels) According to Lin Feng’s calculation, these three web games should be almost in the final stage.

Unexpectedly, Wu Zhaopu was stunned.

"Boss, the development of these three games is not easy. Originally, the development cycle of web games should be the shortest. It only takes 2-3 months for an average game company to develop a simple web game, or even shorter. And the investment is not big, usually 500,000 to 1 million yuan can be done. However, boss, although your three web games do not have many requirements for the graphics, their functions and connotation requirements not only exceed those of any web page in history. The game even surpasses many RPGs and reaches the heights of many stand-alone games. Boss, in order to ensure the quality of these three web games, it will probably take several months before they are officially launched," Wu Zhaopu explained helplessly.

Lin Feng frowned slightly, but then he thought about it, although the longer it takes to develop a game, the better the quality is not necessarily (after all, "Blizzard"'s reputation of ten years of hard work is not suitable for all companies, more companies It’s like “grinding an iron rod into an embroidery needle”), but if the time is too short, it’s definitely not a good game.

"Yes, but we must hurry up. Also, Mr. Wu, for web games, the picture is by no means the most important. Especially for the two web games "Gundam" and "Three Kingdoms", what players pay attention to is definitely not the picture. "For them, game performance is far more important than graphics. The core competitiveness of web games lies in its playability and durability," Lin Feng warned.

Lin Feng was really afraid that the "Eleventh Game Development Department" would focus all its energy on the game graphics, which would really be a waste for web games. After all, no matter how good the graphics of web games are, can they compare with large-scale role-playing online games? Moreover, the higher the graphics, the higher the requirements on players. The more information is loaded every time they log in, and the longer the players have to wait. And this loses the meaning of client-free web games.

Wu Zhaopu nodded heavily.

"By the way, how is the recruitment process for the 'Eleventh Game Development Department' going? The director is sure there is none. If so, let him come and meet me." Lin Feng asked with concern.

Wu Zhaopu smiled.

"Boss, I'm about to introduce you to the director of the 'Eleventh Game Development Department'. Guess who he is?" Wu Zhaopu chuckled.

Lin Feng felt suspicious for a while. Judging from Wu Zhaopu's "evil smile", it is obvious that the "Eleventh Director of the Game Development Department" has a good background and should be a well-known figure in the gaming industry. But who is this person?

Fortunately, Lin Feng didn't wait long. Five minutes later, the doubts were solved.

“Boss, this is Josh Sawyer, the producer of the famous ‘Black Island Studio’ in the gaming industry.

He has now joined our company and currently serves as the director of the ‘Eleventh Game Development Department’! "Wu Zhaopu introduced the blond middle-aged man in front of Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's eyes lit up.

Black Island Studio, a game group under the famous game production and publishing company Interplay, is famous for designing RPGs (role-playing games). The studio has designed many games including the "Fallout" series, "Baldur's Gate" series, "Icewind Dale" series, etc. It can be said that only in terms of RPGs, it has an unshakable position in the minds of European and American players. Of course, the most famous is its "Fallout" series.

"Fallout" is a game with a high degree of freedom. You can create gods and roam around the game world at will, without being restricted by the plot. This game contains a large number of side tasks and hidden elements, which can be called extensive and profound; in addition, the designers have added many spoofs and splays of famous books and celebrities into this game, so discovering these contents has become a great pleasure for players; It is worth mentioning that the dialogues or soliloquies of the characters in the game are quite funny, and from time to time you can see amazing words appearing on the heads of the characters. It can be said that as an RPG player, if you have never played "Fallout" in your life, it will definitely be a big regret in your gaming life.

However, the game world of "Fallout 2" is a world full of ugliness. Here you can see profit-seeking politicians, tyrannical bandits, profit-seeking villains, and extremely greedy villagers... not to mention those who live in the streets. Thieves, prostitutes and animals deformed by nuclear pollution can be seen everywhere. Generally speaking, after playing "Fallout", players feel very heavy. I wonder if it is true that "people are born with evil nature"? However, it will also give most players a sense of cherishing the present and being kind to the people in front of them.

In terms of game connotation and life-saving content, the "Fallout" series is worthy of being the world's number one RPG game.

And right now, Josh Sawyer, the producer of the famous "Black Island Studio", has come to his company, which is a big help to the "Second World" and represents the future of the "Second World" There will be a series of blockbuster products that can be developed by God.

"Mr. Sawyer, nice to meet you. You know, I have great respect for 'Black Island Studio', especially "Fallout 2" developed by your studio. I am deeply fascinated by it. You know, there was a time , I forgot to eat and sleep because of "Fallout 2", and after it ended, I suddenly returned to reality, which was quite uncomfortable," Lin Feng said with emotion.

Josh Sawyer nodded. As soon as Lin Feng sighed, he knew that he was a senior Fallout 2 player, otherwise he would not have such a sigh. You know, he is also a hardcore Fallout player. But there is an embarrassing thing, that is, although he is a famous producer of Black Isle Studios, he is not responsible for the development of the Fallout series. On the contrary, he joined Black Isle Studios with the dream of developing Fallout 3. As a result, he went from an unknown ordinary game creator to a deadly producer in the industry, but Fallout 3 is still a long way off.

Hearing Josh Sawyer's explanation, Lin Feng smiled awkwardly. I didn't expect that I had made a mistake, but Lin Feng is now much thicker-skinned, so he just laughed it off.

"By the way, Mr. Sawyer, I wonder how many former Black Isle Studios employees followed you to the Second World this time? You know, I am very much looking forward to Fallout 3. If possible, I hope my company can produce Fallout 3." Lin Feng asked expectantly.

You know, the current position of "Second World" in the online game industry is temporarily unshakable, and in the stand-alone game market, real-time strategy has become the industry leader with the joining of "Blizzard", and strategy games are also one of the best in the industry due to the "NG Game Production Team" that produced "Heroes of Might and Magic", and first-person shooter games are also well-known due to the former "Vlave" "Half-Life" series. Only in the most important stand-alone game market - RPG, there is no game that is loud enough.

Although "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is very popular, it is only in China, and its international popularity is limited. If the employees of "Black Isle Studios" join "Second World", the company can develop "Fallout 3", which can be regarded as filling a major defect of the company.

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Josh Sawyer's eyes lit up. He joined "Black Isle Studios" to develop "Fallout 3", but his dream did not come true. When Josh Sawyer and some former members of Black Isle Studios decided to join the Second World, hoping to develop Fallout 3 again someday. Although they knew that this wish was very slim.

But he never thought that not long after he joined the Second World, Lin Feng proposed that they could develop Fallout 3, which was simply good news from heaven. For creators like them who regard games as their lives, Lin Feng's words are more powerful than any salary increase or vacation.

But there is a problem in the middle.

"Mr. Lin, although some employees and I came from Black Isle Studios, the copyright of Fallout 3 is not in our hands, but in the hands of the original company Interplay." Josh Sawyer said helplessly.

Lin Feng frowned when he heard this, and then smiled.

"Don't worry, it's just a copyright issue, it's simple, I just need to buy the copyright of Fallout." Lin Feng said with a smile.

"But Interplay may not sell the copyright of Fallout. After all, this game is so well-known in the industry that I don't think any company would be willing to sell its copyright." Josh Sawyer was still at a loss.

Fallout is well-known in the gaming industry. Since the dissolution of Black Isle Studios, countless game companies have been eyeing Fallout, especially Interplay, which is currently in a financial crisis. However, Interplay is not stupid and naturally understands the value of Fallout, so it is holding on to it. You know, once Fallout 3 is really developed successfully, the revenue will be hundreds of millions of dollars. You say, how can Interplay sell Fallout in this case? Unless a game company offers hundreds of millions of dollars in copyright fees, but it seems that no company would be so stupid as to offer such a high copyright fee. After all, everything about Fallout 3 is still unknown at present. It's stupid to spend so much money on copyright!

Lin Feng smiled.

"Then just buy Interplay!" Lin Feng said lightly.

Josh Sawyer was dumbfounded!

This boss is really awesome!
