The game is only half finished, and the entire internet is begging for an update!

? ? ? ?

A brand new project?

Ma Shangfei was stunned for a full two seconds before he finally reacted, and his voice even rose a little.

"President Jiang! You mean the new project?"

"Isn't this the full version of 'I Found the Imperial Seal of the State!'? Not a sequel? Not DLC?"

Jiang Bo nodded.

"That's right, a new project."

Ma Shangfei almost fainted.

No.

General Jiang.

How exactly does your brain work?

The entire internet is clamoring for the full version of "I Found the Imperial Seal of the State!", and now you're telling us that the sequel is off, the full version isn't available, and you're going to start a completely new project?

This is like a guest sitting at the table, already holding up their chopsticks, looking forward to the main course.

As a result, the chef poked his head out from the kitchen and said that this meal would not be served for the time being, as he was preparing to open a new restaurant.

Is this reasonable?

This is clearly unreasonable!

I ordered beef offal, and you served me male prostitute!

Can these be the same?

Sheng Tinglan was also a little taken aback.

She just suggested that Jiangbo temporarily postpone making the full version because the company currently lacks funds and its cash flow cannot support the expansion of large projects.

Not making a full version doesn't mean starting a new project immediately.

Does money for new projects no longer count as money?

These tens of thousands of soldiers are still starving at the village entrance!

Are you going to leave them hanging to start a new project? Isn't that like throwing the fish you just caught back into the water?

You can't do that!

A group of people began to object.

Ma Shangfei felt he couldn't stay calm anymore; he was genuinely anxious.

"President Jiang, let's not talk about anything else for now."

"You mean a new project? New projects also cost money, don't they?"

"We were just saying that the company only has so much cash on hand right now, so making the full version is unrealistic."

The more Ma Shangfei talked, the more convinced he became of his point.

"In any case, 'I Found the Imperial Seal!' has already proven its market success, and players have accepted the concept. If we continue, we at least have a user base."

"But what about the new project?"

"A new project starting from scratch!"

"Who knows if players will buy into it?"

"What if it flops? Wouldn't all the buzz we've built up with the Imperial Seal be wasted?"

The atmosphere in the office became a bit more serious after this series of questions were asked.

It must be said that Ma Shangfei's words this time were very realistic.

For any normal game company, once the first game has just gained momentum, the safest option would be to strike while the iron is hot and continue to push forward with the existing projects.

Even if the full version isn't released immediately, a preliminary plan should be presented first to reassure players before gradually developing subsequent content.

Isn't that how all the great works are made?

But their own boss turned out to be the problem.

No appeasement, no filling of the hole.

You start a new project right away? Do you think you're writing a novel?

However, Jiang Bo remained remarkably calm in the face of Ma Shangfei's questioning.

He even reached for the water glass on the table and slowly took a sip.

This action made Ma Shangfei even more anxious.

Boss, say something!

The fact that you're drinking water now makes me look like I was enthusiastically hawking my wares at the entrance of a morning market.

Jiang Bo put down his water glass before slowly speaking.

"Old Ma, you're still narrowing your thinking. Your perspective is too limited."

Ma Shangfei: "?"

Again.

Jiang Bo looked at everyone, his tone neither hurried nor slow.

"The game 'I Found the Imperial Seal!' is indeed popular now, and players are definitely urging for more updates. But we can't rest on our laurels just because a game has achieved some success."

"The industry trends are constantly changing."

"Today players call you an old thief, tomorrow they might be calling someone else their godfather."

"Today they're urging you to update in the forums, but tomorrow, as soon as a new game is released, they might turn around and go to someone else's comment section to claim kinship."

"The world waits for no one!"

"Players' attention waits for no one."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the office was stunned for a moment.

To be honest, what the boss said actually made a lot of sense.

In the game, players are like Lu Bu, always ready to have a godfather. This may sound a bit unconventional, but it perfectly reflects the current mindset of players.

Sheng Tinglan nodded thoughtfully.

"Does Mr. Jiang mean that we can't rely on just one project to capture players' attention right now? We need to take advantage of the fact that Chaoxi Games has just gained recognition from players and continue to release new titles to make players remember the name Chaoxi Games?"

"That's right."

Jiang Bo gave Sheng Tinglan an appreciative look.

"Xiao Lan has hit the nail on the head."

"What players remember about 'I Found the Imperial Seal of the State!'"

"But what we need to do next is to make players remember Chaoxi Games."

"If a project becomes a hit, it just means we're lucky."

"If the next game can surprise players, then Chaoxi Games will hold a different place in their hearts."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Guangqi's eyes gradually brightened.

This approach is indeed different.

If "I Found the Imperial Seal of the State!" was a breakout hit, then the new project is meant to prove that Chaoxi Games is not just a flash in the pan.

Sure enough, the boss's vision was much longer than theirs!

President Jiang has such a broad vision!

The boss's words are like a Manchu Han Imperial Feast!

Ma Shangfei was a little confused. He admitted that Jiang Bo made sense, but he still felt that something was wrong.

"President Jiang, I understand the reasoning."

"But what exactly will the new project be about? We can't really make a matching game, can we?"

"Of course not."

Jiang Bo smiled.

"This new project won't be too big."

"We're making a casual game!"

"Of course, you can still start with simple single-player games!"

Upon hearing the words "leisure type," Ma Shangfei's tense expression relaxed slightly.

Casual style is good.

Casual games are typically small in scale, have clear mechanics, and have relatively controllable costs.

Sheng Tinglan also breathed a slight sigh of relief.

As long as it's not about expanding half the city every now and then, she's still willing to listen.

Zhou Guangqi immediately asked, "President Jiang, what specific type of leisure activity is it?"

Jiang Bo didn't keep them in suspense and said directly:

"fishing."

The office was silent for a second.

Ma Shangfei: "?"

Sheng Tinglan: "?"

Zhou Guangqi: "?"

fishing?

New project?

Leisure type?

No.

General Jiang.

You just said that we can't rest on our laurels, that the world waits for no one, and that players' attention waits for no one. It sounds as passionate as starting a second business.

And then you turn around and tell us the new project is a fishing game?

Isn't this a bit too much of a difference?

Ma Shangfei looked at Jiang Bo with a complicated expression.

"President Jiang, is the fishing you're talking about the kind of fishing I understand?"

Jiang Bo nodded.

"That's right."

"Food preparation! Cast the line! Wait for the fish! It bites! Reel in the line."

Ma Shangfei fell silent.

This description is too simplistic.

Zhou Guangqi thought about it seriously for a moment, then cautiously asked, "President Jiang, is there anything special about this fishing game?"

"Of course."

Jiang Bo stood up, walked to the whiteboard, picked up a marker, and wrote a few words.

"The Great Angler"

"That's the name of our new project."
