Chapter 368 Europa’s Game Exhibition! Of course you have to drive "Euro Truck" to participate!
"It's a game show in Europa! Of course I have to drive "Euro Truck" to participate!"
Just as Gu Sheng was chatting with Sanshang Shinji in Neon.
At the same time, in the first conference room of Nuyan Company in Zhongjing, China, director Li Xiaofeng also said with a smile!
good!
This time, the game that Golden Wind and Raging Flame collaborated on was none other than "European Truck Simulator", which was known as "Car" among the "Last Four Masterpieces on Steam" in Gu Sheng's previous life!
As Gu Sheng said.
It is indeed a race that is not a race.
The game is played from the perspective of a truck driver, from car rental at the beginning to truck purchase in the future.
You will drive world-renowned heavy-duty trucks such as Scania, Mercedes-Benz, and Volvo, speeding through the streets of Europe.
From London to Rotterdam, from Milan to Vienna.
Earning commissions by transporting goods is your ultimate goal in the game.
The scenery along the way and the music coming from the radio are good medicine to heal your restless soul.
ification)
This is all about how to play this game.
Indeed, in this game, it is difficult for you to experience the thrill of racing. Even if you choose the online mode and join forces with friends, what awaits you is endless traffic jams on the highway.
There will be no opponents nipping at your butt, and no timers frantically urging you to go faster.
Only the delivery of goods and the settlement of commissions are the purpose of your game, as plain as water.
But it is precisely because of this characteristic that gives Ouka the most unique experience.
Although in this game, Golden Wind will team up with Fury Games to contact as many heavy truck manufacturers as possible to obtain the most authentic data and restore and present them one by one.
But what can be imagined is that during the journey, players will not pay special attention to their dashboards, but will look out the window as much as they want -
There is the bank of the Seine River where the sunset is full of golden color, there is a bright sunflower field on the outskirts of Padua, and there is a dreamlike ocean of Provence lavender.
At the same time, you can also choose to synchronize to a local radio station and listen to an evening music program in the quiet night—
“It’s ten o’clock in the evening Beijing time, the night is quiet, and the years are the same. Welcome to listen to today’s..."
Although it is a rush, it is a haven of tranquility.
It is a soothing medicine in the noisy city, and is also good news for many patients suffering from electronic wilt.
Driving games are not just about furious motor roars.
Put your hands on the steering wheel, open the windows, and enjoy the artistic wind of Florence. It may be an unforgettable journey in your life.
only…
“…Is this really racing?”
After listening to Li Xiaofeng’s introduction, Zhang Ling, the head of Qingmiao Studio in charge of this project, hesitated and raised his hand:
“There seems to be no precedent for such a game, right?”
Zhang Ling felt a little unsure.
You need to know! This is not the first time he has participated in the Europa Exhibition!
What kind of games are there at the exhibition?
Sports car! Beauty! Wild rally! Extreme equation!
That is a display stage where strength and skills are combined, and it is a super track where adrenaline surges!
Let's...bring a bunch of trucks to the exhibition?
The rule of racing has always been to see who can stimulate players' adrenaline better.
But there has never been any manufacturer whose game purpose is to allow players to feel tranquility and enjoy the scenery!
Will players really buy it?
In fact, about this!
Li Xiaofeng doesn’t know either, and he can’t guarantee it.
but!
“Besides this, do we have any choice?”
Li Xiaofeng sighed slightly and looked at Zhang Ling.
Speechless.
Zhang Ling was silent, and so was the entire Qingmiao Studio.
They have no choice.
As a company that started out as a racing game and has always been focused on this track, every designer and programmer working in Rage knows that—
In today’s racing games, creativity has long since dried up and we have entered an era of industrial arms race.
Speed racing, speed is king, and the principle remains unchanged.
Whether you are a single player or online.
Hand on the gas and cross the finish line, this is the final destination and core gameplay of all racing games.
Under this situation, all manufacturers can do is to continuously improve the industrial quality of games.
Make the picture more and more realistic and make the somatosensory feedback more and more immersive.
But.
In terms of industrial technology, how could they be Yunwei's opponents?
The scene was silent!
Sato, who had been sitting next to him, spoke:
“Gentlemen, I think we should have more confidence in ourselves.”
good!
Since it is a cooperative development, Sato, Yuki, and Okura, the three chiefs of Steel Chain Fingers, naturally temporarily joined the Raging Flame and led the project development as the "golden reinforcements".
Hearing that Sato, a neon man, spoke so standard Mandarin, everyone in Nuoyan couldn't help but be a little surprised and looked at him one after another.
Just listen to Sato say:
“Before Left 4 Dead, no one thought that guns could be aimed realistically,”
“Before PUBG, no one thought that a shooting game could also have a battle royale mode,”
“Before PT, we had never heard of the concept of psychological horror,”
“Before Escape, we had no idea that a cinematic game could be so powerful,”
"The extreme sports trend started by "Apex Kingdom", the pinnacle of cooperative games by "Two for Two", and the myth of casual farming by "Stardew Valley","
“All of this is our creation from scratch,”
“This time, we will still use the creativity of Golden Wind and the rich experience accumulated by Fury Games for ten years to create a new racing game category as before,”
“Yunwei, we have fought before,”
“Their end was not very pleasant,”
“This time, it’s the same.”
Some words!
Speaking bluntly, everyone present was excited!
yes.
Their partner this time is Golden Wind!
This company has created countless myths in the gaming industry since its establishment!
And the project in their hands at the moment is the handwriting of Gu Sheng, the chief game designer of Golden Wind and the top game designer in the country!
Yunwei is indeed powerful.
But precisely because of its power, they had to take the wrong approach!
Today!
Before them, there is no more choice, only the word "believe"!
Believe Mr. Gu! Believe in the golden wind! Trust the steel chain fingers!
As Sato said—
Yunwei once had a fight with the Golden Wind. The Golden Wind alone was weak and even gave Kaunik a bruise on his nose and face.
And this time, the result will be no exception!
Seeing his soldiers nodding their heads!
Li Xiaofeng sincerely admired the confidence and tenacity of Golden Wind’s studios and clapped his hands:
“Since everyone has no objections, Director Sato, please tell me about the specific arrangements of the project, starting with the budget.”
唰— Everybody looked at Sato.
Sato was slightly startled, as if he was a little unfamiliar with this word: "Estimate?"
Hence Amaterasu!
He hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously asked: "How many...do you have?"
"ah…?"
Now, it was Li Xiaofeng’s turn to be confused:
“How much of what? Director Sato, what do you mean?”
"At once…"
Sato spread his hands and seemed a little embarrassed:
“How much funds do you have at your disposal right now?”
quiet.
Deathly silence!
Li Xiaofeng’s mouth was slightly open, his eyes were even a little trembling, and there was deep fear in his pupils!
Gan!
What the **** is he asking?
What is he going to do?
What is the amount of disposable funds we have?
What's going on?
I want to ask you now: "How much do you want?" Do you want to answer: "I want as much as you have"?
“You…excuse my presumption…”
Li Xiaofeng stared blankly for a long time before he slowly spoke and asked tentatively:
"That is...in your Golden Wind, how are amounts such as this budget determined?"
Hear the words!
In full view!
Sato slowly shook his head and opened his mouth:
“We generally don’t go out of our way to determine budgets,”
“Just...uh...well...how much money you have..."
As soon as this statement came out!
The whole place was completely silent!
ah? ? ?
Indeed!
As colleagues in the Chinese game industry, everyone here has heard for a long time that Golden Wind has always been known for its all-out investment and never cares about the development cost.
But they never expected that—Golden Wind not only didn’t care, they didn’t make a budget at all!
Just spend it!
The best thing is to show the momentum of "the cost is only the upper limit of the company's capital pool, not the upper limit of our game"!
At this moment, Li Xiaofeng suddenly realized!
No wonder these guys are always able to come up with games such as "PUBG", "Titanfall", "Sekiro", "Two Players" and "Resident Evil 7" whose investment does not match their size.
They are just throwing money at it like this without even leaving a way out for themselves. They don't make big moves frequently!
“Because…our Director Shen said before…”
Sato showed an awkward yet polite smile and explained:
“What we have always pursued is to make the game as good and refined as possible within the limits of what the company’s funds can bear,”
“In Director Shen’s view: cost is linked to the imagination and creativity of employees, and is directly related to the quality of the game,”
“If we don’t even dare to think about it and are hesitant to spend money, we won’t be able to make good games and we won’t be able to produce good games,”
“After all…well…”
“Golden Wind is a game company, not a cost budgeting company,”
“Money matters...are not what we need to consider...”
Original words.
The conscience of heaven and earth!
Sato grinned secretly in his heart.
This is not something I made up. This is what our Director Shen said at the meeting. These are all her original words!
Li Xiaofeng also believes in this.
Shen Miaomiao, who is that?
That is the outstanding young entrepreneur whose net worth has grown most rapidly in the past ten years!
ˆ She is the daughter of Shen Wanlin, the head of Shen Capital Group!
Is it possible that someone is short of money?
But...what the fuck...
Li Xiaofeng's legs were a little weak, so he held the table and sat at the head of the conference room, feeling so embarrassed that his toes were on the floor.
I can’t do it! !
We just seem to be larger than you and have more assets. That’s because we’re listed on the stock exchange. We’re very successful!
You really want me to dig deep, don’t blame me, even we CEOs don’t have this right!
For a moment, the scene was awkward!
Li Xiaofeng didn’t even know what expression he should use when facing the stunned and envious looks of everyone in Qingmiao Studio!
It felt like tears of envy from Zhang Ling and the others were about to flow from the corners of their mouths!
Unlimited budget!
Housel Crab, is this **** real?
“Ahem!”
Half a day!
Yuki felt that the atmosphere was really awkward and finally couldn't help but speak:
“Uh, that…otherwise…”
“Director Li, let’s first talk about the planning of the “Oka” project?”
“As for the budget, we will finalize the plan later...and then do the calculation?”
——
“Ah, okay, okay! No problem, no problem! This is the best!”
Hearing this, Li Xiaofeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thanks to this beautiful beauty girl, I was finally rescued from being grilled on the fire.
However, he didn’t wait until he finished speaking.
Hearing Yuki chuckle softly, nodded and said:
“First we have to go to Europe to shoot the scene on location.”
Poof—! !
Li Xiaofeng felt a tightness in his heart, and he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. He wanted to cry but had no tears!
Golden wind?
The trend of burning money! !
Steel-forged fingers?
Hand out your money finger! !
What the **** are reinforcements here? A bunch of money-burning machines are here!
This is it!
He has to apologize!
Private Marseille woo woo…
This way!
Li Xiaofeng was wailing in his heart, feeling the slight shock from the golden wind.
On the other side, a shocking storm started by the golden wind and sweeping the world is also coming!
The shocking nuclear network conspiracy has begun!
A modern war symphony intertwined with blood and fire has begun!
In the middle of November!
Golden Wind's first 3S-level shooting game masterpiece with an investment of more than 300 million US dollars - "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" - is here as promised!

PS: Embarrassing, something suddenly came up that needed to be dealt with, so let’s move one chapter to the 30th. A total of 18 chapters will be updated from the 25th to the 30th, which will be a lot, but the transition has just happened to be completed. I will enter the game tomorrow.
