Chapter 258 Resurrection! My ass!
Let’s focus on the one that can lose money!
Shen Miaomiao shouted in her heart.
You should just take pity on me!
Yes, I used to always look forward to being a monster and thinking about losing a lot of money.
Isn’t that because our company was weak at the beginning, with a small scale, low investment, and an insufficient number of player groups?
For example, in our first game "Cat Leo", the total investment was only 10,000 yuan, and a loss of ten times would only be 100,000 yuan.
As long as one copy is not sold, I can get a full rebate and earn more or less.
But now!
Our situation has improved!
The company has been promoted to a medium-sized company, with more players and higher investment.
With an investment of hundreds of millions or even billions, I don’t need to make huge losses or lose all my money on the game, and I can still get massive rebates!
Just like "Garden Warfare".
Sold 718,900 units in a single week, which was only a little less than the expected 731,000 units. It already gave me a rebate of nearly 10 million!
Although everyone says that you have fallen from the altar and your former glory is no longer there, everyone knows that it is just a joke from the players.
After all, look at which game can easily pay back its investment in half a month, or even within a week!
In terms of sales volume and capital recovery speed, we are already the only one in the world!
This is not just nonsense from Shen Miaomiao. You can check it out. Ever since the concept of 'game company' was invented, who can grow from 500,000 start-up capital to 1 billion in just three years? Control net worth.
This means that we will not go public, otherwise the market value will be in the billions or even tens of billions.
And this time!
I hold a thousand-fold rebate card in my hand and see the plan of financial freedom right in front of me.
A little calculation, even if we only produce a game with an investment of 100 million yuan, I will lose one-tenth of the money within the specified time.
10 million, multiplied by a thousand times.
That’s 10 billion!
Ten billion!
Spent three to four billion to buy a private luxury yacht, and the remaining money would be enough for the two of us to live and work on the sea for several lifetimes!
not to mention!
This will not have much impact on the reputation of your old supernova and the reputation of the company's quality!
Even after I get this money, I can tell you directly that I don’t want this system anymore, and you can produce whatever works you want in the future!
Let’s engage in publicity and marketing, with great fanfare and loud gongs and drums!
Isn’t it delicious? !
Isn’t this a win-win situation? !
Lose some money! Lose some money! Let you be cute and kind-hearted, but you just want to be a boss who is as beautiful as a flower and salted fish, so you will lose some money!
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao took a deep breath and prayed that Lao Gu could give her a satisfactory answer.
And her so-called "satisfactory reply" was nothing more than selecting one of the five games that had lost money to develop a derivative sequel.
Among these five games, there is only one that she likes the most.
That’s—
“I’m going to make a first-person shooter game based on Garden Warfare.”
Gu Sheng said.
good!
Gu Sheng has already prepared for the game he will develop next.
Even, "Garden Warfare" was made as a pre-experimental version of it!
In Garden Warfare, Gu Sheng specially designed two innovative FPS competitive modes: "Push Cart" and "Seize Points".
The purpose is to pave the way for the next game.
It is worth mentioning that in Garden Warfare, Gu Sheng also experimented with an alternative second-generation FPS design—
Similarly cancel the virtual crosshair, and then shoot with a fun-like mechanical sight.
For example, the peashooter's bean anvil hole, and the Corn Captain's corn leaf optical sight.
but.
It turns out that this kind of game is not suitable for mechanical aiming design after all.
After all, everyone has a variety of firearms. Rifle-like firearms can be used for machine sighting, but firearms such as grenade guns and launchers are not easy to use for machine sighting.
It will affect the overall smoothness of the game and the immersion of the fun experience.
And if you want players to better experience the feeling of combining skills and shooting, it is definitely not possible to blindly stick to the "second-generation FPS" setting that you have pioneered in this world.
Although Golden Wind’s shooting games have never used the ‘virtual crosshair’ setting.
Even in the eyes of the outside world, the ‘virtual crosshair’ to Golden Wind is just a remnant of the old era and is not worthy of landing on the big ship of somatosensory cabin games in the new era.
But this time!
Hearing Gu Sheng groan, he said:
“And this time, in order to balance the gameplay and player experience, I am also planning to cancel the second-generation FPS camera setting that we have always made good use of, and enable a virtual crosshair design to make the game rhythm smoother.”
Shen Miaomiao was going crazy.
This means that Gu Shengyuan is far away from Neon and not by her side!
Otherwise, she would definitely have to jump on the horse on the spot!
O blessed general!
With a clear understanding of the heart, isn’t it coming?
good!
Shen Miaomiao's long-favorite sequel is also "Garden War"!
After all, this was the project with the most losses in her history.
During the specified period of time in a single week, the net loss was 617,200.
Furthermore, in terms of rebates, it is also the project with the second largest loss rebate since she obtained the system!
Although in comparison, both the final rebate amount and the basic multiplier of the document are higher in "Legend of Survival". ("Road to Survival" has a loss rebate of 10 million, a multiplier of 100 times).
But the problem is, judging from the current status and reputation of "Land of Survival" in the gaming circle.
If Lao Gu really wants to release "Long 4 Dead 2", the sales of the game will probably not stop at all!
Let’s look back at “Garden Warfare” again.
You know, this is a work that made Lao Gu ridiculed as "falling off the altar".
It is also the only game of Golden Wind that is not [rave reviews]!
The most important thing is!
This time, Lao Gu actually wants to give up the second-generation FPS setting that he has always been best at and that is also the best for Golden Wind!
What is this called? Friends?
Shen Miaomiao almost burst into laughter!
Abandon your martial arts skills!
The shooting game of Golden Wind does not adopt the second-generation FPS setting, which is equivalent to Xiao Li Tanhua losing his knife, one-armed Guoer losing his eagle, Guo Jing forgetting the Dragon Subduing Palm, and Gang Leader Qiao forgetting to bring a big speaker!
Re-enable virtual crosshair?
It’s also a pity that they are not a listed company.
Otherwise, the company's stock price would plummet just as soon as this news was released!
After all, ever since their second-generation FPS, Golden Wind, became an instant hit, until now!
Over the past three years, there have been fewer and fewer virtual crosshair games on the market. Except for games like "FireWire" that are still persisting, the first-generation FPS has basically been eliminated by the market.
It’s better to be old!
It is obviously his own innovative model, but now he is abandoning his own strengths and exploiting his own weaknesses!
God helps me, I will not be at any loss to anyone!
“Okay! Good, good, good!”
“This is a great idea! Get up wherever you fall!”
“And this decision to re-activate the virtual crosshair also fully reflects that we at Golden Wind do not stick to conventions and have the courage to break the inherent stereotypes of the market and let the gaming circle see - whether a game is fun or not is not determined by the game mode, but by creativity. It depends on playability!”
Tsk tsk tsk!
Hearing this, Gu Sheng was speechless!
Look, look at our Mr. Ou!
This awareness, this awareness, this idea and open attitude!
Over the past three years, he has seen Xiao Nezha's improvement in his understanding of games.
From being ignorant at the beginning, to being very clear now.
Now, Shen Miaomiao can say that "whether a game is fun or not is determined by creativity and playability", which really makes Gu Sheng happy.
Our President Ou has grown up. Although he is not very smart and capable, his understanding of the game market and the origin of games has at least made great progress. “Mr. Shen Dayi!”
Gu Sheng cupped his fists and raised his hands:
“Then this is how the project has been decided?”
That’s natural!
Shen Miaomiao nodded repeatedly, fearing that Gu Sheng would regret it: "It's decided! It's decided! We will start the project as soon as you come back!"
I can't wait any longer!
Loss! This time I will lose heavily!
“Please be nice to you!”
Gu Sheng nodded solemnly!
After saying that, the two hung up the phone, and Gu Sheng was excited!
Although Caudik’s Blizzard is one of the top companies in the world, no less than Konami and Vivendi!
But there is no doubt that the Blizzard games of the past are absolutely outstanding across the world!
Especially today, the market for motion sensing cabin games in this world is booming.
With the blessing of full-sensory assistance and upgraded motion assistance, Gu Sheng was really excited at the thought of being able to touch his **** in the game... No, being able to dodge and move around in the game and fight fiercely!
�
Thinking of this, Gu Sheng couldn't help but take a deep breath and said:
“System, help me unlock—“Overwatch””
【Didi, the sentiment value is insufficient, there are still 168992 sentiment points missing】
Gu Sheng:…
Okay, not much difference.
I guess it will be enough for the players to defeat the red ghost...
…
《Golden Wind’s booth has reached a new high in popularity! 》
《Gagagaga! The number of somatosensory cabins at the Golden Wind booth is still in short supply after three rounds of replenishment! 》
"'Wolf Game' has become the hottest game word this week"
《Many well-known game evaluation media have given "Sekiro" evaluation scores close to full marks! 》
"The "torii" cannot be kept safe, and the "wolf" breaks out of the siege! 》
Two days flew by.
As said before.
Ever since the incident on the second day of the exhibition, no one at the Golden Wind booth dared to cause trouble.
Even the players queuing up have become more conscious.
As various data continue to rise, the terrifying "heat index peak: 277%" at the end undoubtedly made Golden Wind the most dazzling new star at this Dongjin Game Festival.
The voice of "falling onto the altar" is getting louder and louder.
The media dubbed Sekiro as "the most anticipated game of the year, comparable to or even surpassing "Escape"."
The review media are busy extolling how amazing, perfect, and fascinating the action system of this game is.
Players, while shouting "MAGA (Make ARPG Great Again, regard it as another comprehensive innovation of the somatosensory cabin game mode after "Long 4 Survival".
【Wolf】The call for the game is overwhelming.
It seems to be exactly what pew posted on the first day of launch.
What "Sekiro" created is by no means an ActionRolePlayingGame game that can run smoothly in the somatosensory cabin and perform more actions.
Its levels, its narrative, its combat logic and game presentation are all unprecedented in this era, and can even be said to have never been seen since ancient times.
It is the future of somatosensory cabin action games.
Now, the future has arrived.
“The ‘Wolf’ game will definitely become a major development branch of somatosensory cabin action games.”
At a small teriyaki eel rice restaurant not far from Comella's headquarters, Moritani Tetsuya took a sip of oolong tea and said:
“I wish “Sekiro” a great success, and may Gu Sang and Golden Wind make further progress.”
“Thank you Moritani-san,”
Gu Sheng smiled and nodded:
“But speaking of it, Moritani-san is really troublesome this time. Not only did he help us contact the motion capture team, but someone made trouble at the exhibition..."
“Hey—don’t talk about that, don’t talk about that,”
Moritani waved his hand to say you’re welcome:
“Gu Sang believes in me and is willing to tell me such an important plan, so naturally I will go all out,”
“As for the exhibition…”
Speaking of this.
Moritani sighed, obviously still grudged and very helpless:
“That’s what I should do, that’s what I have to do,”
“To put it mildly, even out of consideration for Comella, I had to take action at that time to prevent this vicious incident from happening,”
"Speaking of which, I have to thank Gu Sang. The adults don't remember the faults of the villains and let us go."
"Haha," Gu Sheng waved his hand: "Others can be said to be villains, but Moritani-san cannot be classified as such."
With that said, the two of them stood up one after another after eating and drinking, and then walked side by side outside the small restaurant.
Moritani proposed to send Gu Sheng back to the hotel, but Gu Sheng politely declined.
He lives not far from here, and he thought it would be just a short walk away.
So the two shook hands and said goodbye.
“Take care, Gu Sang, be sure to call me when you come back to Neon again.”
Moritani shook Gu Sheng's hand.
Gu Sheng also laughed:
“Definitely, come and visit China when you have time, and come by our Golden Wind to check it out.”
"Okay," Moritani looked very interested: "When this period of time passes, I will apply to the company and visit you on the spot in the name of inspection, and also learn about your management experience and working mode."
“Then I’ll just wait for the good news?”
"good!"
Say it.
The two waved goodbye.
Moritani started the car, while Gu Sheng strolled towards the hotel.
However.
What they don’t know is.
At the same time, in the coffee shop across the street, a man wearing a black windbreaker with an ordinary and unremarkable appearance silently put away his mobile phone.
Before locking the screen, I saw on the phone screen a scene of Gu Sheng and Mori Gu standing on the street shaking hands and saying goodbye, laughing harmoniously...

PS: I wrote that I found that the following wolf chapter is more suitable for a big chapter. It is connected with Gagen. It is estimated to be about 10,000 words, so I will update one chapter first, and the next 10,000-word chapter will be fixed and posted around 00:00.
