Chapter 384: Work hard for me from now on

"The style of "The Bird Flies First+" is completely different. Doesn't it mean using more beautiful and more exquisite art and special effects to express the effect of the original version? This is similar to what we just discussed."

One of the interviewers asked, "For example, we used pixel art style before, and later we will change it to a more refined comic style, or cel style..."

"So, what do you think is the core selling point of "The Bird Flies First"?"

"Hmm... I think it should be an easy-to-use side-scrolling jumping game?"

"This is indeed its selling point, but it is not core enough."

Mei Fang explained, "To sum up the successful nature of "The Bird Flies First", it is actually a social game. In terms of gameplay, we should not be limited to the simple performance of horizontal jumping. In fact, it is essentially a parkour and a rhythm game. In essence, it is a parkour and a rhythm game.

"Subway Surfers" is not much different from "Temple Run" that we have often played recently."

"The reason why I feel that Simultaneous Gameplay + is not suitable for the stupid bird to fly first is because it will abandon the original problem of simple getting started."

As Mei Fang spoke, he took out a small blackboard to demonstrate to everyone, "This is the well-known perspective of Temple Escape. Our first generation was pixelated and 2D. The second generation can completely refer to Temple Escape for 3D and back perspective.

"

"This perspective... looks completely different."

Under Mei Fang's explanation, everyone was gradually attracted by Mei Fang's ideas, "But in terms of gameplay, do we still have to do a jump? It feels like jumping from this perspective is not so comfortable."

"You are right, there is absolutely no need for us to continue to do the same jump, because in the final analysis, "The Bird Flies First" is not a game that succeeds based on how fun the horizontal version of jumping is, but because it is easy to get started."

"Since it is easy to get started, following this idea, we can use the gyroscope of the smartphone, or the left and right sliding operation method similar to Temple Escape, to design a new bird-first-fly game."

"But this is very different from the original version. Will players really buy it?"

"We can leave it to market feedback to evaluate whether we are willing to buy it, but the answer to this question is definitely not to complicate the existing bird-fly-first gameplay, add additions, and make it more refined. What do you think?"

The students in the same group as Mei Fang looked at each other for a while. After everyone nodded, they unified their opinions and views. The student in charge of timekeeping said: "There is not much time left now. I think everyone will

Let’s recommend a speaker who summarizes the gameplay to the interviewers.”

"Then, let Zhang Ming do it..."

"Classmate Zhang Ming's analysis is very thorough, I believe he is right."

But when everyone's expectant eyes fell on Mei Fang, Mei Fang waved her hands and smiled: "I see that everyone took a lot of notes when summarizing their opinions and ideas. I want to leave this opportunity to others here.

I wonder if anyone is willing to take the initiative to take on this responsibility?"

The scene was deadlocked for a while, and then a girl who looked very quiet raised her hand timidly, "I... I want to try."

She had been unable to speak during her speech just now, but she listened very carefully, and the logic she expressed when she spoke alone was relatively clear. This feeling made Mei Fang involuntarily think of herself in her previous life. Before anyone else spoke to her, Mei Fang

Fang took the initiative to answer:

"I think we can let classmate Wang Meng give it a try. I feel she can integrate everyone's opinions very well."

"I agree."

"No comments."

Mei Fang's statement, which easily became an opinion leader, naturally attracted many people's follow-up. Wang Meng also glanced at Mei Fang with gratitude, then stood up from his position and tried his best to pose towards this side.

The upright examiners raised their hands.

"Senior, we are ready to make a report."

"okay."

Chengzi calmed down the depressed mood just now, tried his best to smile appropriately, then raised his hand and said in greeting: "Please start the presentation of our group."

Faced with such unconventional answers to the report, the newcomers who were interviewing were all uneasy, but what they never expected was that the three examiners in front of them were actually far more nervous than these newcomers; after all, the newcomers were doing internship interviews.

But you can also go to other companies. If they don't perform well, they will be fired on the spot by the big boss.

First of all, the big boss’s face must not be compromised. The gameplay will be whatever he says;

But don’t act too licky, otherwise it will be deceptive, and the big boss may be unhappy;

After carefully listening to everyone's statements, the experienced Bai Ge carefully commented on the performance of each student, commenting on the shortcomings and excellence; and when it came time to comment on the big boss Mei Fang, Bai Ge

There was a slight pause.

"First of all, Zhang Ming, as the person who finally turned the tide and changed the team's point of view, has made a great contribution to the team's cohesion. As the last speaker, you can put forward a completely different point of view from everyone in front of you. This is a great thing.

It takes a lot of courage.”

"There is no doubt that your final performance of turning the tide was wonderful, but I also hope you can reflect on the risks involved. If your views as a planner at the same level are not recognized by the previous people, the team will have huge conflicts.

, will that affect the final unified statement? I think the result is excellent, but the process is still very risky."

"Actually, this... I have a similar view." Xiye, the chief planner of Coconut Juice Studio on the side, followed up and smoothed things over. "Your idea about the sequel is very original, but you can convince this unreasonable idea in a short period of time."

, in addition to sufficient arguments, it also requires a certain amount of courage... Of course, you can do a good job."

"Okay, I know."

Mei Fang nodded, smiled at Xiye, the chief planner of the coconut juice project team, and said: "In addition, I would like to ask senior, regarding this question, which is the sequel to "The Bird Flies First", is your company currently planning and considering it?

?”

"Well... we are considering the project of Stupid Bird 2, but as for parkour games——"

As Xiye was talking, he was pulled by the white pigeon on the side. He, who was always sophisticated, did not expect that he had made a stupid mistake this time because the person he was talking to was Mei Fang. When he realized it, he realized that Mei Fang's

His eyes have become sharp.

The company's internal strategy cannot be disclosed to outsiders who are still interviewing!

Xiye taunted a few words with trepidation, brushed off the topic, and then began to analyze the feasibility of the case from a planning perspective.

"It is true that this case has its own unique ideas. Compared with some of the same gameplay optimization answers we interviewed before, it is a different angle. However, from the iteration of gameplay to performance, it is easy to form a conclusion that this IP must be used.

The forced feeling of the sequel... After listening to everyone’s thoughts, I feel that in a sense, it is also possible to directly release a new game without the need for the IP of "The Birds of a Feather 2"."

"Actually, it's possible. If there are major flaws in the packaging design of Bird's parkour packaging and Stupid Bird Flying First, we can completely redesign it and replace the bird directly with a ball. Isn't it easier to get started?"

"The bird... turns into a ball..."

Everyone tried to imagine that scene, "Although it has become simpler, it feels... it really doesn't look bad!"

"An iron ball rolling back and forth in the gyroscope is a bit like the game I played a long time ago, "If you are a man, go down to the 100th floor"..."

Everyone gathered together to discuss the situation in full swing. It was obvious that the gameplay shown by Mei Fang had created some pictures in their minds.

However, such a design operation will not give Mei Fang a special sense of accomplishment. After all, his idea is based on the reference design of a very popular minimalist game in the Google Store in his previous life, called "Rolling Sky"

.

"Rolling Sky" allows players to control a small ball to reach the end point through various level obstacles. The gameplay is simple but very exciting. The implantation of its advertising incentive resurrection mechanism also makes the game particularly marketable and fits the rhythm.

The music is also one of the highlights.

In Mei Fang's view, whether it is combining it with the IP of "The Bird Flies First" or re-creating a brand new IP, it is a very, very good idea and concept for this planning project.

Xiye should be able to cooperate well with his work now...

Xiye is a chief planner who originally came from Goose Factory. He is over thirty years old and has eight years of game planning experience.

It’s only three years younger than Mei Fang, but it’s already very hot!

When Mei Fang founded Coconut Juice Studio, she had always been a bit over-the-top in management, often supervising and modifying the quality of Happy Xiaoxiaole over the head of Xiye.

Although Xiye usually didn't say anything to the sponsor's father, Mei Fang, Mei Fang could definitely guess how many times he had scolded her behind her back. After all, she was often interrupted by her boss's plans.

However, the boss in the previous life intervened because he didn't know anything and insisted on getting involved, but fortunately the ending was quite good.

Before the completion of TABTAB, "Happy Xiaoxiaole" was settled in Penguin Yingyongbao and completed its release. Driven by Penguin's huge traffic, "Happily Xiaoxiaole" reported over 100 million revenue in the first month, making enough money.

Coconut Juice Studio issued a large bonus. Now everyone in the studio fully understood Boss Mei's good intentions. From then on, the studio members, including Xiye, followed Mei Fang's lead.

After all, this boss's intervention is really effective and he really understands the game.

The newlyweds who had finished the group interview were told to go back to the waiting area to wait for news. When everyone was preparing to pack their bags and leave, a boy asked everyone to add their contact information. When they came to find Mei Fang, Mei Fang refused with a smile.

"Just add each other, and you should be notified of the interview results tonight."

"Ah, how did you know...do you have inside information?"

"That's right..." Mei Fang smiled and nodded. Obviously he was very satisfied with his growth in his previous life and this life. He had indeed changed by leaps and bounds.

“It’s really fun to attend the interview with everyone.”

"What's going on with you kid... You're so pretentious, but you don't even have contact information—"

The rebellious man who had been quarreling with Mei Fang at the table was about to talk to Mei Fang, but he was quickly pulled away by the boy who was keeping time - they seemed to be classmates in the same school.

"Okay, okay...it's almost done. Let's go back first."

"No, he has inside information, why don't you ask him to find out?"

The rebellious man was dragged into the elevator by his gay friend Timekeeper. Several newcomers who had finished their interviews were talking in the elevator, and the rebellious man felt very unhappy.

"What kind of inside information...that guy didn't even tell us."
