Say Yes To Making Bad Games, What the Hell is Titanfall?

Chapter 102: The Real Cooking Game

Is Golden Wind a small game company?

Calculate.

There is no doubt about it.

But their current status in the game circle, are they small game companies?

no.

This is where Winds of Gold abstracts.

They are using the form of small game companies to do things for large and medium game companies.

Therefore, for a while, even Yan Sheng was not very good at defining what kind of company Golden Wind is.

If you want to say it hard:

"Forget it..."

Yan Sheng nodded, and then said:

"But isn't it a bit..."

It's a little too bullying.

To know!

The last time I participated in the Mini Game Festival, Golden Wind beat all the game makers of the same level with a "Vampire Survivor"!

Even before the final results came out, they were already uncrowned kings!

now!

After a year of hard work, Golden Wind has begun to emerge in Asia, and even began to wrestle with the domestic first-line veteran manufacturers!

You said you still want to participate in the Mini Game Festival?

this……

Yan Sheng's expression was a bit complicated, and he felt that Gu Sheng was somewhat stinky and shameless.

But how did he know!

Gu Sheng's participation in the Mini Game Festival this time is definitely not a prank to bully the small!

But to collect emotions!

Now, facing the pressure of the three mountains, Gu Sheng has no other way, he wants Yi Dashan to overthrow Xunteng and fight his way through the siege.

Can only take out TTF2!

And among the games he hopes to win, only TTF2 has the scalability of multiplayer projects while taking into account a good story!

According to his estimation, by the end of next month, which is the latest development start time of the Escort masterpiece, the emotional value that PUBG will bring to him should be around 900,000.

The difference is one hundred thousand.

He needs to fill it with a small game that is enough to arouse people's emotional value.

He hasn't figured out what game to use to fill it, but he has to occupy this spot first.

Yan Sheng pondered for a moment, but finally felt that it was inappropriate for Golden Wind to participate in the Small Game Development Festival now.

So he said, "Otherwise, let's do this, Director Gu,"

"Because your company's current reputation and status are here, it is a bit too much to participate in the small game festival... Overqualified and useless,"

"In order to give other normal small and medium-sized game companies a fair chance to participate, let's make a compromise and see if this works,"

"As a specially invited manufacturer of this mini game festival, your company will participate in our online opening ceremony,"

"Also, at the opening ceremony, present your work,"

"Also, your company's works are not restricted by the 14-day free period, and they are sold in advance, which can be regarded as a warm-up for the Mini Game Festival,"

"Enjoy the fixed recommendation on the homepage of the Mini Game Festival, but do not participate in the ranking of the Mini Game Festival list,"

"Is this appropriate?"

Gu Sheng thought for a moment, then nodded.

no problem.

After all, he just wanted the mini game to get a promotional opportunity so that more players could play it.

Even this time, he didn't even care about making money, he just wanted the game to earn him enough emotional points to unlock the core resources of TTF2.

Yan Sheng's proposal fully meets the requirements, and it is even more beneficial than including them on the list.

If there is such a good thing, Gu Sheng will certainly not refuse:

"Since Boss Yan attaches so much importance to him, why should we be disrespectful?"

"Should be, should be,"

Seeing that Gu Sheng agreed, Yan Sheng heaved a sigh of relief, smiled and waved his hands:

"Director Gu is too modest."

Another greeting!

Yan Sheng bid farewell to the two and left the company.

...

After seeing Yan Sheng off, he checked the time, and it was already half past ten in the morning.

The timing is embarrassing.

Too early for lunch, too late for breakfast.

Simply, Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao strolled to the leisure area, ready to grab some snacks.

Yes.

"Grab" snacks.

In order for the employees to enliven the atmosphere, relax their minds, and broaden their thinking (Shen Miaomiao said so).

Mr. Shen made a drastic move and carried out a wave of "reforms" on the company!

With a wave of his little hand, he directly replaced the snack rack that was originally on the shelf with a claw machine.

A total of more than ten claw machines are placed in a half circle around the leisure area, and there are all kinds of snacks inside.

Needless to say, there are potato chips and shrimp crackers, as well as jelly and preserved biscuit sticks. They are rotated every week, and the supermarket on the first floor of the shopping mall next door is responsible for changing them.

Moreover, these snack claw machines do not need to be coined, as long as you want to catch them, you can stand here and catch them for a day.

but!

Anyone who has played with a claw machine knows that the claw machine can be adjusted, and the strength of the mechanical claws is completely based on the settings.

At this moment!

Here comes Shen Miaomiao's wisdom——

She adjusted the grasping force of the claw machine to a moderate position, which is about the same as the one in the mall, and one can come up after twenty or thirty times of grasping.

If you want to eat snacks, just stand here and catch me!

Effectively increase fishing time and shorten working hours!

At first, everyone was trembling.

Until one day, everyone watched Mr. Shen accompany Jiang Shan, the deputy director of art, standing in front of the claw machine with biscuit sticks for a long time!

The boss is taking the lead in fishing!

Only then did everyone feel relieved, and threw themselves into the ranks of catching snacks.

And it's not over yet!

Some people are impatient, and may not have the patience to fight wits and courage with the claw machine. They have to stick the strength of its claws and adjust the angle of the target snacks, which is troublesome!

I just want to grab it and eat it right away!

also!

Shen Miaomiao contacted the manufacturer of the claw machine and got a batch of game coins. After inserting the coins, the claw machine's claws will reach the maximum strength, and one catch will be accurate.

As for how to get game coins, it’s also very simple——

Shen Miaomiao replaced all the cameras in the company with her own money and upgraded them to facial recognition.

As long as the employees clock in and leave work on time, and no longer appear in the company during the period from 5:00 pm to 9:00 am.

It is considered that the attendance is qualified, and one game currency can be obtained every day, which can be collected from the financial lady every month.

Under such a two-pronged reverse attendance system!

All of a sudden, the wind of gold and fishing was rampant, and the off-duty time was extremely accurate!

Even Gu Sheng couldn't help admiring: If you put your mind on the content of the project, our company has already been listed...

"Old Gu, I want to eat this."

As soon as she came to the leisure area, Shen Miaomiao found that the items in the snack machine had changed.

The outermost snack machine holds her favorite coconut-flavored lollipops.

She knows Lao Gu's craftsmanship. The old claw machine is a professional, and he can get 1 out of 10 without coins, which is very awesome.

"Lollipop, this is a bit difficult..."

Gu Cheng smacked his lips and rolled up his sleeves.

It is difficult for the claw machine to catch small objects. Coupled with the slippery lollipop, it is theoretically difficult to catch it without inserting coins.

"let me try."

With that said, Gu Sheng came to the snack claw machine, tapped the start button, and began to move the joystick.

While trying, he opened his mouth and said: "The matter of escorting Dazuo..."

He wanted to follow up on what he hadn't finished at the meeting just now, and tell little Nezha his ideas.

Including how to deal with this challenge, what kind of ideas you have, how much the total investment will be, and so on.

Of course, there is the most important point——

He wanted to tell little Nezha not to worry, he had enough confidence to let Jin Zhifeng turn the tide of the battle and come out on top in this "Tian Ji Horse Race".

Yi Dashan may not have a chance of winning, but no matter what, this game will definitely not lose.

But!

Shen Miaomiao thought that he was going to raise some objections!

Dang even stretched out his small hand to cover Gu Sheng's mouth, and his tone was full of overbearing charm:

"Shhhhhh—Old Gu, you don't need to say anything, I believe in your ability, you just have to let go and do it,"

"Now, it's your job to concentrate on grabbing that coconut lollipop for me."

As he said that, he added a sentence in his heart:

It's a loss anyway, nothing to worry about.

In the case of an inferior horse playing against the three generals, the total investment amount of the two sides differs by dozens of times.

In this case, don't talk about making money.

It would be nice to keep the underpants.

The first attempt to grasp failed, Gu Sheng rolled his eyes, and slapped Shen Miaomiao's little hand away:

"Don't mess with me, just say you don't understand and it's over."

That being said.

But he was still very moved.

If this is a small project, one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand, little Nezha will ignore it, it may be because she is lazy and salty.

But this is a billion-dollar project.

It is Golden Wind's first project with a nine-figure investment, and it is also a watershed that determines whether they can take root in the Huaguo game industry.

If you pass this hurdle, then Golden Wind can successfully become a medium-sized game company.

But if you can't make it through, it's a small matter to start from the beginning, and the company will disappear immediately.

After all, there are already countless such lessons learned in the market.

It is completely unimaginable in other companies that Xiao Nezha can actually let go of such a key project and delegate authority.

This not only means that little Nezha has extraordinary courage, but more importantly——

She really believes in herself, in the project department, and in their ability to create miracles.

Gu Sheng understood.

Buzz——

The claw machine's claw rests on the coconut lollipop.

Gu Sheng began to shake the joystick left and right to let the mechanical arm swing up. He was going to change his mind and let the paw sweep the stick into the delivery port while shaking.

"That's fine,"

A warm current surged in his heart, Gu Sheng joked:

"You can't blame me if you screwed up?"

Hearing this, the eyes of Shen Miaomiao who was sitting next to her were shining brightly!

"Hey—Old Gu, what are you talking about? We are a family, a family does not speak two languages!"

Shen Miaomiao almost laughed out loud and tried hard to hold her expression:

"Don't be under pressure, with you playing the game, we will never lose money in this game!!!"

Shen Miaomiao made a fake appearance and patted Gu Sheng's shoulder.

Haha, I just said it like this, and you just listened to it like this, it's pure nonsense that you won't lose money.

If you can stabilize your Dao heart, then don't be fooled into doubting your life!

Hum——

Slap.

With a soft sound, the claws, as Gu Sheng expected, swept to the tail of the lollipop, and swept it slightly closer to the delivery port.

There is a door!

Gu Sheng's eyes lit up, and he continued to repeat the operation.

Then he asked, "What about the little game festival, do you have any ideas?"

Oh, right.

When Gu Sheng mentioned this, Shen Miaomiao remembered.

Just now, Lao Gu also asked about the Yan Sheng Mini Game Festival. He probably wanted to take this opportunity to earn more money to accumulate funds for the escort masterpiece that will be launched at the end of next month.

This project...

Shen Miaomiao was not very interested.

It's just a small game, and the production cost of the PC platform is lower than that of the somatosensory cabin. Coupled with the size limit, at best, it costs 100,000 to 200,000 yuan.

Even if it is a total loss, at best, the rebate will be two million.

It's not as much as returning one-tenth of the loss of the escort.

"What do you think?" Shen Miaomiao focused on looking at the lollipops in the glass cabinet that were getting closer and closer to the delivery port.

Gu Sheng flicked the robotic arm, and pushed the lollipop a little closer to the delivery port: "I don't have any ideas, so I'm asking for your opinion."

"What good advice can I have?"

Shen Miaomiao shrugged, and suddenly remembered Gu Sheng's game description before PUBG:

"I said let you really make a cooking game, do you want to do it, we will definitely lose if we make it..."

While speaking, Shen Miaomiao rolled her eyes.

Gu Sheng would definitely not agree to such an obvious loss-making project.

The voice has not yet fallen!

Click!

Under Gu Sheng's superb craftsmanship, the lollipop was finally swept into the delivery port, and fell out with a bang.

Gu Cheng smiled slightly: "It's not impossible."

"What's wrong?" Shen Miaomiao was confused by Gu Cheng's nonsensical words.

Gu Sheng squatted down, took out a lollipop from the delivery port and handed it to her, then said:

"Cooking games, it's not impossible."

Shen Miaomiao froze when she peeled off the candy paper, with question marks on her face.

"Brother, if I remember correctly, at the opening ceremony of the Asian Games, you said that this type of game is mentally handicapped, right? You are..."

Shen Miaomiao pointed to Gu Sheng, and then pointed to her own brain:

"Ready to challenge the lower limit of your IQ?"

"no,"

Gu Cheng couldn't help but shook his head.

"I said that before because this type of game is indeed not suitable for landing in the motion sensor cabin, let alone as an e-sports event,"

"But this time, what we are going to do is a small game, and it is a PC platform,"

"The preconditions change, and the viability of the game changes with it,"

"Just like who was the father back then,"

"When you're bored, call your best friend, preferably a lover,"

"Experience the smoke and gas, make exquisite cooking dishes, and let the customers who come to patronize eat and feel satisfied,"

"Friends deepen friendship, lovers strengthen affection,"

"A small game worth twenty or thirty yuan, if you can't buy it, you will suffer a loss, and you won't be fooled if you buy it,"

"Why not?"

oh--

Hearing Gu Sheng's description, Shen Miaomiao nodded repeatedly.

Co-op cooking game for two players.

It sounds like a pretty good idea.

And when I think of being busy in the kitchen with my best friend or lover, I get good reviews one after another.

That kind of inner satisfaction and sense of accomplishment must be very strong.

It can indeed promote friendship and enhance feelings.

Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao snapped at the lollipop: "It sounds quite reasonable, and it seems to be a type of game that I can also play."

"You sure can play,"

Gu Sheng smiled, moved to a machine next to him, and grabbed a bag of potato chips for himself:

"Otherwise, you can join me in the online live broadcast of the Mini Game Festival. I need a partner for a two-player game."

Shen Miaomiao's eyes lit up: "What a great idea!"

Anyway, she doesn't care about profit and loss in this game, it's better to give Lao Gu some confidence and let him make a lot of money this time.

In this way, to a certain extent, he found some psychological comfort for Lao Gu.

Standing up with a lollipop in her mouth, Shen Miaomiao patted Gu Sheng's shoulder and extended her thumbs approvingly:

"The combination of our two swords will definitely make this live broadcast full of wit and fun, and the game will be a hit!"

Seeing the high spirits of little Nezha, Gu Sheng smiled and thought to himself:

It doesn't matter whether you sell it or not, anyway, I focus on collecting emotional points. If it is not too obvious to sell for free, I can just give the game away, and it doesn't matter if you lose money. Escort masterpieces can earn back.

thinking!

Gu Sheng thought about it.
