My game, you have no right to award

Chapter 50 is not the first one (please read it later)

Zhou Kuang turned to look at Lin Mufan beside him. The other party was looking at him with a slightly nervous but more expectant look, waiting for his evaluation.

Ma Tu stood aside with his arms crossed. After more than two months of working on the demo for Netherworld Mountain and Sea, and through their in-depth collaboration, he and Zhou Kuang had a deeper understanding of each other.

Ma Tu knew clearly that what he had produced under the leadership of Qingyan Studio in just one month was definitely not perfect.

For example, he would often test the game halfway through and the game would crash.

Programmers and game engineers have not had time to find these optimization issues, and are focusing more on improving the game mechanics.

But the current game content can definitely meet the requirements Zhou Kuang put forward at the beginning.

His requirement was to make a playable game demo within one month, but he did not require the entire game to be completed and optimized within one month.

As expected, Zhou Kuang did not hide his joy at all. There was a smile on his face and his eyes were full of approval and satisfaction.

"Everyone has worked hard during this period, and I am very satisfied with the current results."

“I hope you will continue to work hard in the future.”

Lin Mufan showed a look of surprise when he heard it. The boss's straightforward praise caught him off guard.

The employees around also cheered, releasing the joy of being recognized for their hard work.

"Ma Tu come here."

Zhou Kuang stood up and waved at him. Ma Tu nodded and immediately followed him.

Zhou Kuang took Ma Tu into a more private small meeting room and closed the door.

As soon as the door was closed, Zhou Kuang and Ma Tu relaxed a little.

"Old Ma, thank you for your hard work."

He smiled kindly and patted Ma Tu's shoulder.

"hey-hey!"

He scratched his head, with a hint of fatigue in his eyes, but he couldn't hide his pride.

Since Ma Tu came to Qingyan Studio, not only has his salary almost doubled, but he has also been given the title of "General Manager of Kuangshi Independent Games Co., Ltd." in addition to the titles of producer and chief planner.

The power is also much greater than before.

He doesn't know whether the current game will be successful, but he thinks that at least the game type is quite novel.

Although it seems that it is just a few adjustments and additions to the previous rougulike games, it is very addictive to play.

After a rational analysis, Ma Tu believes that "Vampire Survivor" has the potential to become popular.

This time, the planning proposal was another complete plan put forward by Zhou Kuang. Ever since he read the planning proposal of "The Netherworld Mountains and Seas", he knew that Zhou Kuang was definitely a super genius who was ahead of his time.

And this time the planning of "Vampire Survivor" once again confirms this point.

"Hey! I didn't do anything."

"It's mainly because the plan you gave me, Brother Kuang, is awesome."

"Hahaha! Let's stop bragging about our business!"

The two looked at each other and smiled heartily at the same time.

"Let's get back to the point." Zhou Kuang said, and Ma Tu straightened his expression. "I plan to show this demo to the people at Antarctic Interactive Entertainment. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Ma Tu touched the stubble on his chin and thought for a moment, then looked up.

"Isn't it too early? I think we can wait until it's more complete before showing it to them." "I don't mind. The main thing is that Niu Tieming said he wanted to bring it over to show their senior management."

As the person who made the final decision to reach an agreement with Kuangshi Games, Niu Tieming naturally has to bear some internal responsibilities.

Some people within Antarctic Interactive Entertainment think that getting only 5% of Megvii Games' shares but having to provide technical support for the Unreal Engine, help with game promotion, offer some channels, etc., may be a disadvantage.

Therefore, Niu Tieming really hopes that they can produce some results as soon as possible, even if it is an independent game that has nothing to do with "Youming Shanhai".

Based on the fact that Niu Tieming was very supportive of them, and that he had also insisted on making many concessions on various matters, Zhou Kuang thought he could help.

Anyway, he is confident in the quality of "Vampire Survivor". He believes that as long as the people at Antarctic Interactive Entertainment are not blind, they should be able to tell whether the game is good or bad.

Besides, even if Antarctic Interactive Entertainment feels that the quality of the game is not good enough, it will be Niu Tieming who will ultimately bear the pressure. What does it have to do with Zhou Kuang?

The contract for the transfer of 5% of the shares has been signed long ago. Can they still go back on their word?

The only thing Zhou Kuang was worried about was whether Antarctic Interactive Entertainment would relapse and open its Sharingan to make a copy.

After thinking it over again and again, Zhou Kuang felt that instead of worrying about this, it would be better to go to bed early.

Because Antarctic Interactive Entertainment will see this game sooner or later. After all, they are now a shareholder of Megvii Games and the two parties have a cooperative relationship.

Niu Tieming also repeatedly assured that only a few people of higher rank than him or at least senior figures would see it.

This limits the reach of the game.

Naturally, they wanted to maintain a good relationship with Antarctic Interactive Entertainment's investment. How could they fall out over an independent game that they thought was "unprofitable"?
That's just water in the brain.

And the most important thing is that Antarctic Interactive Entertainment invested in them because they were optimistic about the project "Netherworld Mountains and Seas", but now this project has not been released yet!

If we want to fall out, we should at least wait until "Netherworld Mountains and Seas" is released!

Therefore, Zhou Kuang believes that the probability of Antarctic Interactive Entertainment doing this is very low.

If such a low-probability event with a probability of less than one in ten thousand really occurred, then for Zhou Kuang, it would at most be a matter of eating one more bite of cake or one less bite of cake.

With the quality of "Vampire Survivor" itself, even if Antarctic Interactive Entertainment releases a copy first, it is hard to say who is the real one and who is the fake!
So it was decided that Zhou Kuang and Ma Tu would go to Antarctic Interactive Entertainment's headquarters the next day to make a simple presentation.

The demonstration was mainly conducted by Ma Tu, and Zhou Kuang just watched from the sidelines.

……

……

……

On the other hand, the recruitment of employees for the "Youming Shanhai" project team is nearing completion.

Feng Qi and Yang Ji personally interviewed a number of employees and selected those with outstanding abilities to join the project team.

Since Zhou Kuang limited the number of project team members to about 100, they had to screen the applicants extremely strictly.

Many talented people with outstanding abilities are rejected by them due to their shortcomings in certain aspects. They only select the barrel-type talents who have no shortcomings at all.

That is to say, you can do any kind of work, rather than being limited to the work that you are good at.

The advantage of this is that for a project team of 100 people like theirs, there will be very little waste of resources.

After all, they are not like those teams with more than a thousand people on a single project who can waste manpower at will.

Although it is a pity for some of them, they do not lack candidates to choose from. To this day, resumes are still flying into their mailboxes and official websites.
