I! game designer! Crying players all over the world!

"Is there any problem with the sales of "Black Myth" abroad?"

Lin Mo asked with a frown.

Xue Wen waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, it's not like this." It was a foreign player who formed a black society

," "Black Society, what is this?" Lin Mo wondered.

Xue Wen said: "It is a group of players who specialize in "Black Myth", and they called me today and said that they wanted to get background information about "Black Myth" from us. "

Hahaha...... It's kind of interesting.

Lin Mo laughed.

But he wasn't laughing, he was laughing happily.

Because of the fragmented narrative of Black Myth, players really can't get the full picture of the game's story.

However, they can make guesses based on the information they gather during the game.

This was actually done by Lin Mo on purpose.

Because of a game like Black Myth, analyzing the plot is also part of the game experience.

However, what Lin Mo didn't expect was that he initially thought that it should be the first player group to study "Black Myth" in China.

As a result, I didn't expect it to be the first to appear abroad.

"Who formed this Black Society?" Lin

Mo was a little curious.

Because it's a bit fast.

If no one is formed, it should be unlikely.

Xue Wen said: "A player named Arya, she is also a big streamer with more than 10 million fans around the world. "

Yo, it's pretty good, there are so many fans.

Lin Mo smiled.

"Then you can reply to them directly, the story background of "Black Myth" is based on traditional Chinese mythology, we don't have a specific story background, but they can find it themselves.

"Okay, I see.

Xue Wen nodded and turned to leave.

Lin Mo walked towards Shu Xingzhi.

At this moment, Shu Xingzhi was gathered in the middle of the crowd, with a kind smile on his face.

This time "Black Myth" was able to achieve such good results.

In fact, most of it is due to Shu Xingzhi.

If it weren't for Shu Xingzhi, "Black Myth" would not have been completed so quickly.

And Lin Mo didn't know how many detours he would take on this.

After all, Lin Mo has no experience in managing a large team.

He's just at the game design level, and he's very capable.

But when it comes to game production, Shu Xingzhi's experience is much richer than his.

But for Shu Xingzhi.

His heart was actually full of gratitude to Lin Mo.

After all, if Lin Mo made a move at a critical moment, he would not be satisfied.

"Old Shu, are you free?"

Lin Mo came to Shu Xingzhi's side.

Shu Xingzhi knew at a glance that Lin Mo was looking for him.

Of course, Shu Xingzhi would not refuse, nodded with a smile, and then followed Lin Mo to the balcony.

Lin Mo got straight to the point and said that he wanted Shu Xingzhi to come to the "War of the Gods" project team to help.

"No problem.

Shu Xingzhi readily agreed.

A smile appeared on Lin Mo's face.

He guessed right.

Shu Lao will definitely help him.

However, Lin Mo also promised that he would not let Shu Lao work overtime.

After all, he still has to take into account Shu Lao's age.

"By the way, Shu Lao, for this year's Game of the Year Selection, I have already applied with "Black Myth". "

Game of the Year......"

A hint of excitement flashed in Shu Xingzhi's eyes.

To be honest, he really hasn't won this award.

After all, this is one of the most prestigious awards in the gaming industry!

Generally speaking, only triple-A games are eligible to be selected for the Game of the Year award.

And now, "Black Myth" also has this qualification

! And there is a high probability that it will win the award

! Once it succeeds

! That is, it will make history

! Of course, the premise is that it can successfully evaluate 3A!

But ......

There shouldn't be any problem.

Lin Mo thought in his heart.

And just like that, a few days later.

Lin Mo's daily work is involved in the design of "War of the Gods".

Suddenly, he received a message from the Operations Department.

"What!"

"Game plot again?"

Lin Mo frowned.

The news sent to him by the operation department was mainly a discussion of the plot of "Black Myth" on the foreign Internet.

Just like before in China, major foreign media also feel that "Black Myth" has no plot.

"These people have a problem with their brains.

Lin Mo was a little speechless.

Once at home before, and now again abroad.

Really, if you want to invite the navy, please be better

! Why are even the black spots the same!

Lin Mo felt that he needed to explain.

Otherwise, if it affects the 3A rating of "Black Myth", it will be a bit bad.

So how to explain it......

"That's right, I registered the trumpet before, and the article I wrote, can't you use it if you translate it!"

Lin Mo couldn't help but want to praise his wit.

It's the best of both worlds.

One article can be used for two purposes.

Use once at home and once abroad.

But just after Lin Mo told Xue Wen his thoughts.

Xue Wen's face was a little strange, and he said, "Boss, there is already a translation of that article abroad." "

Ahh

What

is the situation? He hasn't translated it yet, so who translated it?

Xue Wen explained: "It is a special translation by foreign black societies to refute the remarks of those sunspots on the Internet.

Speaking of which, Lin Mo understood.

No wonder Xue Wen didn't come to discuss this matter with him personally.

After doing it for a long time, they didn't need to solve it at all.

People have already solved it themselves.

"Okay.

Lin Mo didn't care about it and left this matter behind.

The most important thing now is the layout in the field of esports.

It's not just Clash of the Gods that's still in development.

Including "Genshin" S2, it should also be prepared in advance.

However, Lin Mo didn't pay attention to this matter.

"What's going on? Didn't you say it was going to work out?"

"Yes, Mr. Auston, you promised us!"

"yes, I wouldn't have helped you." "

Mr. Alston, you must give us an explanation!" ......

At the moment, Auston is on video calls with many people.

His face became very ugly.

Or rather, he was actually ugly from the start.

But he didn't dare to be angry yet.

Because none of these people who are looking for him to explain the law are of any lower status than him.

There are even a few of them who have a higher status in the industry than him.

Because these people are from the top five game studios in the world!

They're all executives of these studios.

"Guys, I miscalculated, but we didn't gain anything.

"Auston made excuses for himself.

You know, he paid a lot of favors in order to find these people to help him.

As a result, now, not only did the goal not be achieved, but they were even questioned by them.

"Mr. Auston, I remember when you came to us before, you said that this was to suppress the Chinese game manufacturers, but now you are giving

us this result?" "Yes, you still say that there is a gain, so you tell us, what is your gain?" "

Auston, I used resources to help you this time under the pressure of many people, and now we don't get anything, how can you let me deal with the boss?".

"The most important thing is that your behavior now makes the game of Huaguo manufacturer more topical! If a world-class IP appears in Huaguo, it is definitely your full responsibility

......

!" Auston took a deep breath in the face of everyone's accusations against him.

Then, he said, "Everyone, although we failed this time, it also made us realize the game company Yanhuang Games. "

I've investigated the company Yanhuang Games before, and although they have only been established for less than two years, they have the strength to produce 3A masterpieces!"

"And this is all because of the founder of Yanhuang Games, a Chinese named Lin Mo.

"But according to my information, this Lin Mo has actually offended many people in the Chinese game industry.

"Whether it's a pig farm or a goose factory, you all know that these two are giants in the Chinese game industry.

"However, Lin Mo has offended these two families, but so far, these two families have not been able to completely suppress them.

"That's not to mention a few of us, who can be a world-renowned Internet company.

"So, I'm here to make a suggestion!"

Alston glanced at everyone present via remote video.

Everyone's expressions became serious.

Because they found out that Auston was really serious.

Sure enough, the next moment.

Auston told everyone about his plan directly.

......

......

Yada Studio, the boss's office.

"Five companies co-produce a fighting game, you're crazy!"

the boss of Yada Studios slapped the table, and the fat in his stomach began to tremble.

His expression was also very serious, as if he was very unhappy.

"Boss, don't worry, you listen to my explanation.

Auston had a smile on his face.

"Actually, I planned this from the beginning.

Then Alston laid out his calculations.

When Auston found out about the analysis and review of "Black Myth", he knew that his smear on the plot of "Black Myth" was useless.

But there's no way around it.

After all, "Black Myth" can be said to have no shortcomings.

Whether it's a unique style, or a theme, or a map level design, or even an overall prototype design, it's completely the standard of 3A!

The only thing that can be said is the narrative.

Fragmented narrative will lead to a less clear plot of the game.

Auston originally wanted to make a little bit of an article on this.

For this reason, he also found the other four major studios to create public opinion together.

But I didn't expect that someone else's article would break all of his own calculations!

The main reason was that Auston didn't know what was happening in Huaguo beforehand.

That's why he suffered this loss.

But after knowing that you can't do anything.

Auston quickly switched his strategy.

First of all, the 3A evaluation of "Black Myth" is already a sure thing.

And "Black Myth" surpasses "Dragon Country" in sales, then "Dragon Country" has absolutely no chance.

Although it was very painful, Alston could only accept this result.

However, the project of "Dragon Kingdom" is not a failure, it just did not meet expectations.

And this will definitely lead to a lot less resources he can get next year

! So, Auston persuaded the other four major

studios! He wanted to make a profit for himself

! That is, to integrate the IP of the five major game studios and work together to produce a fighting game!

This is an idea that has not appeared in the game industry before.

After all, a world-class IP can be developed with great value.

But if it's five world-class IPs, plus dozens of well-known IPs, to make a game and launch it, how much benefit will it bring?

Truth be told, when Auston came up with the idea, the other four top studios were all tempted.

There are many times when something simple, no one can think of.

But once they thought about it, they were immediately enlightened

! This was the first person to eat crabs!

So, everyone went back to their own homes, trying to convince their bosses.

At the moment, Auston is also doing this.

The owner of Yada Studio frowned and asked, "Are you sure this project can be successful?"

"Of course!"

Alston said confidently: "In the past, the five of us did our own things and never cooperated.

"But the gaming market has evolved so far that there have been a lot of competitors.

"Even in Huaguo, there are powerful manufacturers such as Yanhuang Games at the game design level!"

"If we don't change, then the positions of the world's top five studios are estimated to be replaced."

"But the five of us, as long as we can join forces, even the three major game empires dare not ignore us

!" "The most important thing is that we can continue to control the existing game market! or even expand it to a certain extent!" "

Boss, you also know that the market share of our studio has begun to decline gradually in recent years.

"So what do you think of my plan?"

Auston said as he stared at his boss calmly.

And the owner of Yada Studio pondered for a while.

He said, "Okay, then the cooperation will be left to you." As for the other four owners, I'll talk to them. "

No problem!"

At this moment, Alston's eyes finally showed joy.

Naturally, he doesn't have to worry about things at the boss level.

But as long as he can reach a cooperation and the project is ultimately successful, then the income he can get from it will definitely make his pockets bulge!

As for how well this fighting game can be done......

Oh, their five studios, technical strength is no joke.

Even if you do it with your feet, you can make it into the world's top fighting game!

Yanhuang Game Group.

Lin Mo was having a meeting with Cai Mi, Duan Lan, Xue Wen and others.

"War of the Gods" has Shu Xingzhi watching over there, and Lin Mo can also relax a little.

So, he decided to push forward with the progress of the "Genshin" S2 event.

Because this event, it definitely can't be as simple as before.

It was just an attempt before.

But after the popularity of S1 across the network, everyone has seen the potential of game events.

So when Lin Mo proposed to hold the "Genshin" S2 event.

None of the people in the company had any opinions.

Unlike when the S1 event was held before, Duan Lan also came over and strongly expressed his opposition.

But now, in the conference room, Duan Lan doesn't mention more support.

"Boss, I've already calculated, the cost of this S2 is about 50 million!But I have negotiated some sponsors with Xue Wen, and it is estimated that the cost can be reduced to 20 million!"

"Yes, Sister Duan and I have talked to various sponsors, and they are also very interested, so there should be no need to worry about the cost." Xue Wen echoed on the side.

"Then what do you think should be changed in the holding of this event?"

Lin Mo glanced at everyone present.

Especially Xue Wen and Xiong Yi.

Because for example, when holding an e-sports event, the most important thing is to operate and publicize.

And Xue Wen and Xiong Yi's work in it is particularly important!

Although Xiong Yi is now working under Xue Wen's hands.

But in terms of ability, Xiong Yi is actually not much worse than Xue Wen.

You must know that "Wukong", which was supposed to be the first triple-A game in Huaguo, was Xiong Yi in charge from the beginning.

Whether it's looking for investment, recruitment, publicity, promotion, etc.

It's all Xiong Yi who is busy working in it.

Although the project failed in the end, the main reason was not Xiong Yi, but Yada Studio.

And Lin Mo actually wants to find someone who can be specifically responsible for the field of e-sports.

So now, when he raised this question, he was also testing Xue Wen and Xiong Yi.

Xiong Yi was thinking about it, and Xue Wen took the lead in saying: "Boss, I think we can still inherit the process of S1, or divide it into auditions, re-selections, and finals, but we can turn the re-finals into offline competitions."

"Yes, yes.

Lin Mo nodded.

Indeed, the online Shanghai qualifier must not be canceled.

After all, for a game like "Genshin", it is best to hold an event with the participation of all "Genshin" players.

Because only in this way can everyone have a sense of participation and pay attention to the follow-up games.

As for the semi-finals and finals, they can also be held offline.

After all, they don't have to buckle the cords anymore.

Not to mention the rest, first of all, the recent sales of "Black Myth" have brought at least more than one billion profits to Yanhuang Games!

And in the second half of this year, the sales of "Black Myth" will continue to increase.

After all, according to the publicity of major platforms, there should be no game comparable to "Black Myth" in the second half of the year.

So in terms of cost, "Genshin" S2 is not to be considered.

But at this moment.

Xiong Yi on the side suddenly raised his head and said, "Boss, my thoughts are different from Mr. Xue Wen's. "
