The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 256: You don't even know how to swing a sword, and you still want to be a hunter? (Seeking monthly votes)

Lu Ming never expected that Xu Meng would suddenly say such a long list of names.

This is obviously not a normal game name.

——It’s more like a game collaboration expansion pack or something like that.

He quickly responded, "Boss Xu, have you not decided on a name yet?"

The game had no name at the beginning of the project, only a code name, and the name was not determined until the middle and late stages of development - it was even renamed halfway through the early promotion.

This is nothing new in the gaming world.

On the other end of the phone, Xu Meng sighed: "Okay, you guessed right."

"I have trouble coming up with names. Sea of ​​Thieves, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Big Blue, Across the Ocean..."

“They all seem to be about the same.”

"Once the project is officially launched, let the development team discuss it or vote on it."

After saying this, he quickly skipped the topic of names.

"When I first saw the sky island you designed for the priestess Laerna, I felt that you were very suitable for this project!"

"DreamBuilding's cloud gaming technology is advancing by leaps and bounds. Players can also use PC games, which are much more powerful than mobile phones. If you want to create any content, you can do it freely."

"It's nothing more than changing from designing an "empty island" to designing a real island! I believe this won't be difficult for you."

"How about it? Do you want to take this job?"

Lu Ming was very excited. "Last question: This game's profit method is not to draw cards, right?"

"Of course not, it's still a one-time purchase game." Xu Meng assured him.

“At most, when we update the big map later, we will consider releasing paid DLC.”

"Great!" Lu Ming's last doubts were also dispelled.

"Boss, please let me do this project!"

"Give me a little more time, and I will definitely bring the best level designers here!"

Lu Ming's heart was pounding and he had already called his boss.

He no longer talked about taking a break and going back to work after the New Year.

If he didn't have to finish the work on "The Divine Bird" and it would take time to persuade his subordinates to leave together, he would have wanted to pack up and start working immediately!
"I will do it as soon as possible!"

"It's not that urgent. You can collect your year-end bonus first."

Lu Ming thought about it and realized that it was true!

It's December anyway.

Fei Zhiyuan also decided to use the character Sese to "brush up data".

Then just take the last year-end bonus first!
After hanging up the phone, Lu Ming immediately opened the office software, looked at the employee list, and began to think about which people he could take with him.

He still has feelings for "The Divine Bird" and spent the most crucial years of his life in Konjac Games, and he is grateful in his heart.

Therefore, there is no plan to dismantle the "Bird of Prey" team and accelerate the collapse of the game and the company.

——Even though he has the ability.

He only planned to take 6 to 8 developers with him.

According to Fei Zhiyuan's current thinking, even if these level design talents do not leave, they will gradually be marginalized.

Even if you are lucky enough not to be marginalized, you will never have the opportunity to design freely again.

Instead of doing that, why not pursue your dreams with yourself!

And they will definitely be willing!

——My colleagues in the domestic gaming circle, everyone envies Zhumeng!

……

……

The next day, Lu Ming's plan encountered a setback.

It wasn't about manpower - he was pulling people in very smoothly.

The frustration comes from the year-end bonus.

——To put it simply, he felt that the year-end bonus might be gone.

An administrative document jointly issued by the Ministry of Culture and the General Administration of Press and Publication of the Xia Kingdom suddenly appeared!

It was very lively yesterday, with everyone competing with each other for splendor. You released a character PV, and I released a Christmas costume. But the second-game manufacturers suddenly became quiet.

It was like a complete silence.

The worst-off was a studio called Green Fox.

Just one minute before this document came out, they just released their new product——

[New Year's Eve special offer - double sweetness at Christmas midnight! ]

This is a sound work.

They found two voice actors to play the characters in the game and recorded their voices using human microphones.

It simulates the effect of waking up in bed at Christmas midnight, with your lover whispering in your ear and telling you sweet nothings.

It was only a slight risk.

After all, even the completely pure companion-type sleep-inducing services have been criticized on Pilipil, to the point where all the keywords could not be searched.

But the demand is still there, and after the hype has passed, audio content quickly made a comeback.

But the standards have been consciously restrained a lot, and the review has become stricter. If you want to listen to something with a higher standard, you can only use a proxy to buy it on the Internet.

Manufacturers are naturally more careful when producing this type of content.

But unfortunately, after its peers rolled up, for the sake of revenue and year-end bonuses, Qinghu Studio couldn't help but take a step forward -

In this special, two characters appear at the same time.

It is a binaural version in which both the left and right ears speak at the same time!

Now, sound is sensitive content, and it happened in bed at midnight.

There are still two of us. The risk is somewhat high.

Just one minute after they released the announcement, the joint document [Opinions on Regulating the Management of the Online Gaming Market] came out.

Qinghu Studio responded very quickly——

They deleted the update they just posted at the speed of light!
Some players saw the fleeting promotional pictures and texts and ran to ask Qinghu Studio what was going on.

But when I opened the homepage, I found that Qinghu Studio had simply closed the comment section and started playing dead.

It's not just Qinghu Studio that is feeling the pressure.

The smaller the company, the more it sells materials when there is no supervision, and the greater its reaction when supervision comes.

Many companies suddenly started to check the content they posted a few days ago and urgently deleted or edited it.

Lu Ming also subconsciously tensed up for a moment.

But I was only nervous for a moment.

Looking back, he was too lazy to think about how to respond. He directly opened the office software to find Fei Zhiyuan, forwarded the file and left a message for instructions:

"Boss, how do we deal with this?"

Whoever caused the trouble should clean it up!

……

……

This document unsurprisingly set off a censorship storm, and almost everyone began to examine themselves.

The gaming world is in chaos.

I don’t know how many people’s year-end bonuses have gone to waste.

In this storm, of course, there are companies that have remained upright and are sitting on the Diaoyutai.

However, among these companies that have sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, Dream Building stands out particularly!
——It’s okay for others, but you, Project Frost and Snow, are the one who started it all!
Why are you so calm?!
Colleagues didn’t understand and sent private messages to acquaintances who worked at Dream Building to inquire about the situation.

But no matter who I asked, the response I got was only eight words:

"Everything is normal, nothing happened."

This made my colleagues very envious.

It also made it much easier for Lu Ming to persuade his subordinates to switch jobs with him.

In just three days, he persuaded all eight people to go with him.

Even during this process, they were accidentally discovered by other people, causing the list to expand to 11 people.

After that, Lu Ming no longer hesitated and decisively went to Fei Zhiyuan's office with his resignation report.

Fei Zhiyuan was so busy with the sudden censorship storm that when he saw Lu Ming coming in, he thought he had a strategy to deal with it.

As a result, Lu Ming had no solution at all.

He also handed over a resignation report!
Looking at the resignation report in front of him, Fei Zhiyuan's face was full of disbelief.

"Are you going?"

"Now!?"

He couldn't accept it and tried to keep her.

But it's too late to think about this now.

Lu Ming was determined to leave.

That afternoon, the two chatted for a long time in the office.

But when Lu Ming walked out of the office, he only had one thing in mind -

[Countdown to leaving: 30 days]

These 30 days are just right for handing over the work of "The Divine Bird", and by the way, I can also spare more time to study the Sprawling City and conceive future pirate projects!

It feels amazing to be 33 years old and start chasing my dreams again.

He can't wait!
It was also on this day that DreamWorks released the second gameplay trailer of "Monster Hunter".

The first one attracted 1000 million followers across the entire network, which was achieved very easily.

On the day of completion, the official account of "Monster Hunter" released the second trailer.

That trailer revealed the gameplay of [Hunting Notes].

All monsters hunted by players will be recorded in a physical book called [Hunting Notes].

——Players can actually see and touch this book from a VR perspective.

And every page in the book is a record of his hunting of the monster.

At the same time, the names and some of the habits of the monsters that appeared in the first advance trailer were also revealed.

Afterwards, Dream Building launched its second challenge:

With 1500 million followers across the entire network, the second gameplay trailer was released.

And it’s guaranteed to be even more important than this time!

Now, the 1500 million goal has been reached, and the official account of Monster Hunter has released the third trailer as promised:

[Monster Hunter Multiplayer Gameplay | Eternal Hunting Grounds]
Huanyue ran over to watch immediately.

He still remembered his outstanding performance in [Age of Madness] and thought that this multiplayer mode should be an improved version of the behemoth hunting mode in [Age of Madness].

Team up and hunt monsters together.

He was looking forward to it.

But within 30 seconds of the video, he was stunned.

Two hunters met on a narrow road, one of them charged his greatsword and slashed out with one strike!
The hunter on the opposite side raised his spear and made an accurate block the moment the big sword was approaching!

Accompanied by a crisp "clang" sound.

The big sword was knocked away on the spot!
The hunter who lost his weapon looked down in shock at his empty hands.

When he raised his head again and wanted to say something, he was shot through the chest by his opponent!
