Build a game empire from scratch

Yunmeng replied!

[Qianshan Studio], founder Liu shouted excitedly and almost jumped out of his chair!

The dozen or so friends in the office immediately jumped up and rushed over without saying a word to surround Lao Liuli on three floors and three floors outside, vying to look at the boss's computer.

Lao Liu ignored the crowds and nervously opened the reply email from [Cradle Project], and immediately shouted with joy:

It's done! We passed!

The big guys who came around were also very excited:

Awesome!

It must pass! Are we bragging about our strength?!

That's right! If you ask me, we should be included in the first 10 spots!

Stop talking nonsense and tell us the development requirements! The demo will be ready for competition, so time is tight!

…

There is no lack of confidence in their words, and this confidence is naturally supported by their works.

After Lin You pioneered a casual game avenue in the Daxia gaming circle with Journey, there were many teams in the Jade Bird League that followed suit.

They are not the fastest, but they are the most successful——

Their work Birds not only followed the path and style of Journey, but also made its own innovations - greatly enhancing the environment and item interaction, enriching the player's gaming experience.

This has been highly recognized by players, so much so that even though it collided with Yunmeng's Minecraft announcement and its popularity in the player circle was ridiculously small, it still relied on word-of-mouth and sold more than 2.7 million copies in total!

Compared with Yunmeng, this number is really not worth mentioning.

But if Yunmeng is excluded, this sales volume is worth mentioning in the global gaming circle! Even a special reporter from Daxia Industry Observer came to interview them.

To put it more bluntly: It’s not that they can’t do it, it’s that Yunmeng is too outrageous!

After the launch of Minecraft [Module Sharing Platform], they were among the first batch to shift their main battlefield, switching from independent games to module production, and launched three modules.

It is a bit exaggerated to say that each model is very popular - after all, competing with global developers on the same stage, the competition is too fierce, but the income is indeed considerable, and it also has a group of user groups that can be called loyal players.

Therefore, they are very confident about the remaining 10 places in the [Cradle Project]!

Ahem! The boss of the studio coughed twice, and everyone immediately fell silent.

——It’s not to give him face, but everyone wants to hear [development requirements] as soon as possible.

“In principle, Yunmeng does not restrict developers’ choices in game development direction, subject matter, gameplay, and style, but it does have requirements for the underlying world view, long-term operation, and charging methods.

Bottom world view:

In principle, the game developed by [Cradle Project] requires that the story takes place on other planets in the solar system besides the earth, including stars, planets, satellites, and asteroids.

We do not insist on 100% compliance with reality, as long as we retain the identifiable characteristics of the planet, and do not impose any requirements on fantasy proportions.

The time when the story takes place is not limited to modern times. Ancient times, super ancient times, the future, ultra-future, parallel universes... are all decided by the developers.

Mode of operation:

In principle, the games developed by the [Cradle Project] need to make long-term operational plans in advance and coordinate with the [virtual world interstellar ecological environment] planned based on the giant space station.

This requirement does not impose requirements on game design and development. It only requires that the game content produced by the development team should not cause irreconcilable conflicts with [Interstellar Passenger].

Charge method:

In principle, the charging method for games developed by [Cradle Project] will adopt a two-track system——

Players who have not entered StarCraft can directly log in to the game location after purchasing online.

Players who have entered the interstellar space will drive an interstellar spaceship to log into the planet in the game area. After the spacecraft lands, the airport staff will collect the fee.

Note: Interstellar passengers may land at any location, please consider the possibility of player stowage and force attack in advance.

at last……

After reading this, Lao Liu suddenly stopped.

Everyone who was listening attentively stared at him immediately:

Keep reading!

When have you ever been so secretive?!

Hurry up! If you don't know how to read, change it to someone who can!

Lao Liu was a little wronged because he was not trying to sell things off.

He was simply too surprised, because the content behind this [demand] was:

If there are special requirements, the demo quality is good enough and can be discussed within the earth or outside the solar system, as well as the operation method and charging method.

“The only requirement is that for the sake of fairness in the competition, the project will be adjusted to the second phase [Cradle Project] release.”

After hearing this, everyone's eyes widened in shock.

Does this mean that as long as you are good enough, everything is negotiable?

As expected of Yunmeng!

But as soon as everyone had this idea, Old Liu continued reading in an extremely shocked tone:

If the quality of the demo is [outstanding], all the above requirements can be ignored.

The founders of Yunmeng will listen to your needs.

Yunmeng will also provide all necessary assistance.

Lao Liu's speaking speed became slower and slower, and the last two sentences were almost word for word.

Then, the office suddenly became a place where people could hear it.

Everyone felt an extremely pure power from these last three simple sentences.

Yunmeng sets the rules, but Yunmeng is also willing to break all the rules for outstanding works!

No one doubted whether this was an act.

Because the final masterpiece and elegy of VR games - Last Hour is an unmistakable example.

The outside world may not understand it yet, but everyone in the circle knows that Lin You took the initiative to announce the release of Minecraft in advance, and then postponed the open test of Battlefield to make room for the announcement of Last Moment.

After the official release of Last Moment, Lin You played the game all night and gave it a perfect evaluation.

Then, Zhong Chang led people into Feihu headquarters that day.

Everyone knows what happened next: the virtual reality reset version of Last Moment logs into the virtual world!

Last Moment thus became the first virtual reality game not produced by Yunmeng.

During the entire development process, Yunmeng contributed not only technology and manpower, but also channels and servers, but in the end it still took the initiative to give up most of the profits to Feihu.

This is hardly a wise move in business terms.

But it was this incident that completely established Lin You's position in the Daxia game development circle.

Since then, no one has doubted Yunmeng's sincerity towards the game.

Just like at this moment, no one would doubt these last three sentences.

Not only did everyone not doubt it, but they felt extremely strongly the sincerity and power behind these three sentences.

——With the power of Lin You and Yun Meng, all necessary assistance is really a very scary promise.

Of course, the only two bold words in the entire development requirements - [Outstanding], must represent ridiculously high standards.

After a long silence, Old Liu finally spoke:

Damn, you are indeed Yunmeng! Awesome!

Everyone nodded silently, it was really awesome.

After Lao Liu finished saying this, he was silent for a while, and then suddenly said:

How about we make a demo of Bubble World and submit it?

Before the release of Cradle Project, their team was planning to make a module of a game that had been in Liu's mind for a long time, even before the studio was established.

It was a world completely different from Earth, where all life lived in a thick stone shell from birth to death.

Pioneers and pioneers, conservatives and rebels, survival and development, technology and fire, history and future... everything is nurtured and developed within the world.

All of them have high hopes for this project and believe that this module will hopefully become a new milestone for [Qianshan Studio] and their own careers!

But now, Lao Liu was moved by Yunmeng's sincerity towards the game, and the fire of idealism was once again ignited in his heart!

Do you want [outstanding] works?

OK! Then come and see - whether our works are outstanding enough!
