Reborn Game Pioneer

Chapter 317 Take Your Own Path
Gu Feng has actually considered an issue carefully. Nowadays, the scale of Chuxin has been several times that of before. Logically speaking, with the current scale of Chuxin, it is normal for other companies to directly separate ten independent game project teams. However, if the original intention is to be the same, then the company will inevitably recruit a few more chief designers.

But after Gu Feng thought carefully for a long time, he gave up this plan.

The original intention is actually different from the path taken by most game companies. The reason why big game companies such as Longteng and Huanyu take the path of multiple projects and even have many outsourced projects is because they themselves are in the field of broadcasting. Net's idea, to put it bluntly, is to raise Gu.

If you want to say whether these companies have made excellent games, of course they have. If we talk about the technical capabilities these companies have, they are naturally at the level of the top few in the industry. After all, they only recruit the best from prestigious universities. of those people.

But how good these companies are at making games is really open to question.

What do most of their projects look like?In fact, they are all very similar to "Garden Game". Depending on which game or type of game makes money relatively easily and has low risk, just arrange a project team and follow suit.

After all, the biggest variable in a game is whether players can buy into the creative gameplay. As long as this is proven by the market, technical capabilities have never been a concern for large companies.

Under this kind of operation, it is inevitable to have an overturn like "Garden Fun", but what does it matter? Isn't the purpose of casting a wide net at the beginning just not to expect that every project can be completed? It is expected that some projects will make money and some projects will lose money. As long as the profit exceeds the loss, this goal is always fine.

Although Chunxin's entry has indeed brought many changes to the industry ecology, and companies such as Longteng have indeed begun to try self-innovation, but unless their self-innovation can have as stable a rate of return as Chunxin, behind the innovation projects , there are bound to be many pipeline-style games to cover it up.

This is not determined by technical capabilities, but by design level.

The biggest difference between Chuxin and them is that Chuxin takes the high-quality route. Not to mention that Gu Feng’s own vision of the game market is far better than others. With the help of trial and error with travel cocktails, Chuxin can completely publish a game. to minimize the uncertainty faced.

Since the positioning is different, you don't need to care too much about other people's paths in your original intention. You just need to be down-to-earth and follow your own path. Only what suits you is truly the best.

With such a guarantee, Gu Feng does not need to follow the current situation. Judging from the current situation, adding a new project team will divert more of his energy. Today, this small but precise strategy is exactly the strategy that is most suitable for the original intention.

There are actually only six games that have been launched today that require long-term updates and operations: "Happy Match", "Dancing Line", "Pokémon Battle", "Xianlu", "Overwatch", and "League of Legends" ", other games will just regularly modify the bugs reported by players.

For these six games, "Happy Xiaoxiaole" has a dedicated team of five people responsible for care and updates. The five people are all members of the group of Niu Gan who joined the company before the expansion of recruitment. This task will occupy the five people almost every week. There is a fixed workload, but their main job is not this. As long as there are new projects, their focus will shift.

The current project leaders of "Dancing Line" are Gu Lan and Clivia. Although they may not be that familiar with other games, no one except Gu Feng can match their understanding of Dancing Line.

As one of the golden signs of the original intention, Dancing Line has extraordinary significance. Its value is not just as simple as being popular all over the world, but its non-replicability.

No company that makes music can make games, and no company that makes games can make music better than I originally did. "Dancing Line" is a game in name, but in fact it has produced many good songs that have spread all over the Internet. , in the game circle, it has actually long been like an existence that has jumped out of the Three Realms and is not in the Five Elements. It is completely meaningless to compare it with other games.

Up to now, in addition to game fans, because of the special existence of dance line, Gu Feng, Clivia and Gu Lan all have a group of pure fans who do not play games. These people got into dance line because of their love for music, and gradually from then on A special circle has formed, and they even look forward to the day when Chuxin can hold a grand concert.

The number of levels in Dance Line now exceeds 60, and it is basically updating one level steadily every month on average. Naturally, there is a music team to assist Gu Lan and Clivia in the music part. As for the game content, Gu Feng also arranged for them to have a dedicated person to handle it. .

For "Pokémon Battle", "Overwatch" and "Xianlu", Niu Gan is now the chief designer responsible for project management. The working relationship between him, Gu Feng and Wen Meng is similar to a kind of Party A and Party B. Gu Feng and Wen Meng will provide him with design plans, and all he needs to do is to implement them according to the good design plans provided by them.

The main designer of "League of Legends" is still Gu Feng himself for the time being. If he wants to completely get rid of this project, Gu Feng estimates that he will have to wait at least until the S1 World Finals is over. There are few version updates and hero updates. You don’t have to worry about it during the year, just take it step by step and you’ll be fine.

Naturally, he has to be the chief designer of "Deep Sea Trek" himself. What Gu Feng wants is to let Wen Meng work on this project with him. As for Wang Chen, he has been in the company for such a long time, and Gu Feng plans to also give him the job. This is an opportunity for him to design a game independently and test the progress made in the past two years.

Thinking of Wang Chen's character, Gu Feng decided to talk to him in advance to see what he thought.

Early the next morning, Gu Feng called Wang Chen to the office.

When Wang Chen heard that the visitor said that Gu Feng asked him to go to the office alone, he didn't think much about it. On weekdays, it was normal for Gu Feng to talk to him, Wen Meng, and other people alone about work matters. He has long been accustomed to this.

After knocking on the door politely twice, a voice came from the door: "Come in."

Wang Chen has been with Chuxin for so long, his body is stronger than before, his complexion is obviously much better, and his relationship with Li Xiaoqi is also very good.

In fact, there are many people like him. After staying here for a long time, gradually, they feel like home here. For them, sometimes doing work feels more like doing housework. Everyone Everyone performs their duties and does their part of the housework, keeping this big family in order, comfortable and warm.

"sit."

Wang Chen didn't refuse, nodded, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Wang Chen didn't manage his expression very well. Although it was obvious that he wanted to appear calm, Gu Feng could easily see the doubts in his heart even without the gift goggles.

Seeing his appearance, Gu Feng remembered some things from the past. He heard that Wen Meng blocked Wang Chen's game account in order to prove his identity. Every time he thinks about this, it still makes people feel interesting. Those Everyone said that Wen Meng learned bad things from him, isn't that nonsense?When Wang Chen's account was blocked, Wen Meng had only been in the company for a few months. It was obvious that this woman was inherently evil.
