Chapter 345 342. Can you stop looking for me?

"Hello, hello."

Gu Zefeng was a little flattered and quickly greeted him with both hands. The two of them shook their hands and patted their shoulders, and for a moment they seemed to be very intimate.

"It is our honor for the two Presidents Gu to visit us. It really makes the Bishe shine..."

Gu Zefeng smiled and said, "Mr. Cai, you have such a good relationship with our family, so you don't have to be so disgusted!"

"Haha, since Mr. Gu is so open-minded, I won't say anything on the scene, but what I just said is just the words from my heart, hahaha..."

The two met when they were young. They were the kind of relationship that snatched toys and beat each other to cry. After a few words, their relationship quickly heated up. The unwarranted smirks on each other's faces could freeze the tilapia.

Gu Yuqing glanced behind Cai Zhenyi, and several employees were following them in a regular manner. The stars vaguely supported Cai Zhenyi's C position, which was very ritual.

It can be seen that Cai Zhenyi did not rely on Gu Zongyan's approval and the relationship between the two families to be arrogant, and took the studio cadres out to greet her, giving her enough face.

At least it is much more particular than Chen Ya's guy who is truly "proud of favor".

But Gu Yuqing felt that this position... was a bit suspicious of ranking. For an IT industry company, the bureaucratic atmosphere is too heavy.

The employees on Chen Ya's side are more immature and not so slippery, giving people a more "geeky" feeling.

"Let's talk inside."

Gu Yuqing and his party entered the door together. Donghuang Qixing obviously gave high hopes in this studio and allocated 4-story single-family office buildings as office buildings for them, and the annual rent was estimated to be about tens of millions.

Everyone passed by the frigid front desk hall on the first floor. Because they didn't need to go to the elevator because they had to visit, they entered the stairs through the side door and stepped on the soft orange carpet, and went all the way to the second floor.

As soon as I arrived at the second floor, a heat wave mixed with the breath of many people came to my face.

In front of me are countless rows of long office desks, each row has more than ten computers, half of which are seated and the other half are empty.

Cai Zhenyi reached out and introduced as he walked:

"Our main office areas are on the second and third floors. There are 300 workstations in the two-story office areas. We are currently continuing to recruit people. The goal is to add 100 workstations based on the filling of these 300 workstations."

Gu Zefeng asked dumbfoundedly: "Mr. Cai's studio has 400 development teams!?"

"Yes," said Cai Zhenyi, looking quite proud. "Our Donghuang Seven Star has quite mature project management experience, and a development team of 400 people, I think it's appropriate for our game."

After seeing Cai Zhenyi, Gu Yuqing finally asked for the first time: "How long is the game development cycle for you guys?"

“One year.”

Gu Zefeng was surprised again and said, "A year? So fast?"

"Well, this is also the deadline we set in a responsible attitude to investors." Cai Zhenyi said.

"This game has a huge span for our past game types, and it is an adventure for both the company and me. We hope to let the headquarters and investors see the results in the shortest time."

Gu Zefeng said in a frustrated manner: "I can't wait to see what Mr. Cai's new game is like."

After visiting the entire studio, Gu Yuqing discovered that the title "studio" had left her a wrong impression before, which led to her underestimating Donghuang Qixing's determination this time.

With a development team of 400 people and an independent office building, a lot of money was invested in the early stage.

According to this situation, if the average monthly turnover of their game is not higher than 30 million, the studio head will have to apologize.

After transferring to the development office area, he went to the reception hall for a discussion. Cai Zhenyi invited a man with a buzz cut and said that it was the game master planner and asked him to introduce the game content.

The game leader looked at him forty years old, with a slightly dark face, looking quite honest, without much talk but concise, holding a laser pen in his hand, opening the projection and starting to speak directly.

He clicked on ppt, and several image designs and map designs of the protagonist appeared in the picture. The style is two-dimensional and looks quite exquisite.

"Our game is tentatively called "Heart of Gangniel". Of course, the name is only tentative. It will definitely be changed after it is launched. It tells the story of an adventurer traveling to the Kaladi continent of another world and gradually exploring the mystery of the world..."

Hearing this, Gu Zefeng couldn't help but yawn.

Cai Zhenyi interrupted the master's name and said, "Just just talk about the key points, there is no need to introduce the background."

The master story jumped two pages and introduced: "The core of our gameplay and profitability is to draw cards. We draw from "Zelda: Legend of the Wilderness" and "Original Sin of the Demon World" to design an environmental interaction system. For example, water and ice will freeze the environment, and wind and fire will cause the entire area to catch fire..."

Gu Zefeng nodded dullly. He knew nothing about these things and had no feelings. But Gu Yuqing was shocked.

This idea came to mind with Chen Ya.

The only difference is that one is the elemental reaction between characters, and the other has added a map interaction mechanism - more similar to "Legend of the Wild".

As Chen Ya said, everyone is studying "Legend of the Wild", and their ideas will inevitably be the same.

"Then what is the meaning of your design like this?" Gu Yuqing asked.

The leader opened his mouth, but he didn't expect Gu Yuqing to ask such a question. After thinking about it, he said:

"In terms of meaning, from the perspective of gameplay, it encourages players to explore multiple ways to solve problems. Our game will have two elements of adventure and survival. In this process, different elements can be used to interact with each other to achieve the goal."

Gu Yuqing nodded, and the master plan continued:

"From an operational perspective, players need to have multiple characters to have enough means to solve various problems and play more 'comfortable', which in disguise increases players' desire to draw cards."

Gu Zefeng asked: "How much can it be improved?"

This question made him unable to correct the main strategy. He opened his mouth for a long time and couldn't speak. Cai Zhenyi waved his hand and signaled him to hand the pen to himself, saying:

"I'll just talk."

Cai Zhenyi, who took over the scene, raised his legs, sat on the sofa, pressed the ppt continuously, and finally froze on a table full of data, and said happily:

"I won't introduce the gameplay, mainly about the benefits. As I said just now, our 400-person team plans to have a one-year development cycle, and the benefits..."

Although Cai Zhenyi is a practitioner in the game industry, he is essentially more like a speculator.

He is not professional in professional fields such as gameplay and design, and he is not interested in it. All he is interested in is the benefits of the game.

How much investment, how much return is, how long the game life cycle is... His focus is all on these aspects.

In short, he just doesn't care about the game itself, he cares whether the game makes money or not.

Cai Zhenyi talked for a long time, and Gu Yuqing probably understood.

In Cai Zhenyi's game, there is a "Temple" similar to the temple in "Legend of the Wild".

Players can team up to challenge the "Temple Boss" together to obtain the exclusive weapons and skill fragments of the corresponding characters and develop characters.

Each version will launch a brand new temple. In order to pass the temple, players must use their liver energy to climb combat power every day.

Of course, krypton gold can improve liver efficiency and make the team take shape faster.

In addition, the "screaming" function in the game (the small speakers that speak on the World Channel), guilds, fashion, etc. all require krypton gold.

After listening to it, Gu Yuqing felt that this was an online game version of "Legend of the Wild", which was filled with krypton gold dots.

Like other games of Donghuang Seven Stars, it is also similar to online games of other major manufacturers.

Most domestic online games have this way of playing: forcing players to clear their physical strength and play dungeons every day, and use social interaction to stabilize and stabilize the player group. Each version launches new krypton gold points to lure players to consume.

After making profits through the previous version of Krypton Gold Points, then develop the next version with infinite iteration.

If old players gradually lose money, start a wave of activities, spend some promotion funds, and attract a group of new players.

Until the end, the player lost almost all his money and could not continue to operate, so he closed the server and disbanded it and started working on the next project.

This is the way of playing when Donghuang Seven Stars started, and it has been tried and done.

The difference is that this time they entered the "two-dimensional" field, which is completely different from the market people they faced before.

That's why Cai Zhenyi said that the company's decision this time was a risky act and they need to see the rewards as soon as possible.

This made Gu Yuqing think of Chen Ya. Compared to the playing style advocated by Donghuang Seven Stars, his concept of "paying for love" is more like placing hope on the feelings of players.

From the perspective of players, Gu Yuqing certainly hopes that the games are all developed by Chen Ya.

However, from the perspective of investors, Gu Yuqing thinks that Donghuang Seven Stars' method is more reliable.

Because the core of the concept of "paying for love" includes "can play without paying", from the perspective of the player, since you can play without paying, why should you pay?

It is human nature to be free.

Gu Yuqing frowned and was worried, while Gu Zefeng had fun with Cai Zhenyi and had a happy chat.

When the two left the Perfect Studio, Gu Yuqing suddenly turned around and asked Cai Zhenyi, "Mr. Cai, ask you the last thing."

"Yuqing, just ask, I know everything." Cai Zhenyi said warmly.

“What are your criteria for recruiting employees?”

Cai Zhenyi raised his eyebrows and said, "The most basic requirement is that Double First-Class graduates have priority in having employment experience."

Gu Yuqing asked: "Have you transferred from other game departments of Donghuang Seven Stars?"

"Of course there is." Cai Zhenyi patted the shoulder of the main planner next to him and said, "Like our planner Zhang, he transferred from the "Random Battle" project team."

Gu Yuqing nodded and said nothing. The Zhang Planner's expression seemed a little helpless, and she didn't know what was inside.

...

After Gu Yuqing handled the company's affairs, she turned around and went to Chen Ya's side and talked to him about the "enemy situation". After listening to the last sentence, after Gu Yuqing asked the other party about the standards for recruiting employees, Chen Ya smiled.

"Why are you still asking them this? Didn't you deliberately try to be a spy for me?"
