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

Soon, inside the meeting room.

A group of people sat in a row.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Shanghai Game Show has already garnered a lot of attention."

"To better serve the event and the players, my idea is that we could bring another new game to the event!"

Jiang Bo looked around at everyone and shared his thoughts.

"A new game?"

"Mr. Jiang, do we have any new games?"

After Ma Shangfei finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and his eyes showed a hint of anticipation.

"President Jiang...do your ancestors still have any finished games?"

"No..."

Jiang Bo answered very decisively.

The light in Ma Shangfei's eyes immediately dimmed by half.

"So... are you planning to create a concept project that can be shown as a trailer at the exhibition, or are you planning to actually make a full-fledged game?"

"We might not be able to finish the full game in time; the expo dates are too close. This expo can only serve as a channel for promoting our new game!"

"For a new game, this exhibition is just the first time it's been publicly revealed. We'll set the direction first, and then we'll proceed with development as needed."

The group exchanged glances, understanding Jiang Bo's meaning.

First, set up the project and announce it at the exhibition, then develop it gradually afterwards.

Bringing just one item isn't enough; you need to bring two. It's like giving a gift; you can't go empty-handed.

Zhou Guangqi thought for a moment, but still couldn't help but remind him:

"President Jiang, isn't this time too rushed?"

"It's really rushed."

Jiang Bo nodded calmly.

"Time is tight and the task is heavy."

That's why I called everyone here to brainstorm ideas.

"Regarding this game, I haven't decided on the genre yet, but I have a few ideas I can discuss with you first."

"First, the theme should be familiar to the vast majority of players."

"After seeing it, players don't need to read a ten-minute introduction first. Even if they haven't played similar games before, they can quickly understand what it's about."

"Secondly, it must have a strong sense of growth."

"For example, what a player has when they first enter the game must be significantly different from what they have after playing for several months."

Shen Zhaozhao seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.

"President Jiang, so you're thinking of making a simulation game?"

"Developing a habit is one aspect of this."

Jiang Bo did not give a direct answer, but continued speaking.

"Third, this game needs to have a long enough lifespan."

"The exhibition was just the first appearance. After the game is officially launched, we will also be able to add new characters, new content, and new gameplay."

"It has to be able to withstand long-term operation."

The meeting room fell silent again.

These three requirements seem simple, but meeting them all is not so easy.

If the subject matter is too familiar, it's easy to fall into clichés.

If the character development content is too complex, the entry barrier for players will be raised.

Long-term operation also means that the game must leave enough room for expansion from the very beginning.

Zhou Guangqi thought for a while and then spoke first.

"Well... if that's the case..."

"Actually, we don't necessarily have to create entirely new themes."

"Chaoxi already has several mature games, so we can directly make sequels, and the issue of brand awareness will be solved immediately."

Upon hearing this, Ma Shangfei instantly regained his composure.

"The Great Anglers 2!"

"This is the most suitable!"

"President Jiang, we've only developed far less than 1% of our inherited code!"

"Such a large database of fish behavior models is just sitting there."

"Sea fishing, ice fishing, night fishing, deep-sea boat fishing, and a large aquarium."

"Isn't this perfectly acceptable?"

As he spoke, he remembered the new way he had recently come up with to play.

"Furthermore, I've recently come up with a completely new idea: cave diving fishing!"

"Players delve into complex and dark caves, creating an experience that combines adventure with a rich cave fish system!"

"It can even effectively make up for the regret of not being able to fish at night during the day!"

Everyone: "..."

Goodness, the older employees are really thinking long-term! They're making the kids feel stifled!

However, the idea itself is sound, and Zhou Guangqi even agreed with it.

"Don't tell!"

"With inherited code, development speed is indeed fast!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Bo did not immediately express his opinion.

If that's the case, Great Anglers 2 does indeed meet most of the requirements.

Players are familiar enough with the fishing theme, and Chaoxi has a complete logic of fish behavior, so if they were to make a sequel, the development difficulty would be much lower than that of a completely new project.

But this opportunity is too special...

opposite.

Shen Zhaozhao also thought about it for a moment, and then analyzed it carefully.

"Great Anglers 2 is a good fit."

"But it was placed at the same exhibition as 'Love Requires Talking to People,' and the vibes were too similar... the styles overlapped somewhat."

"Both projects require players to sit quietly and experience them slowly, which lacks a bit of contrast."

"I've noticed that players these days face a lot of pressure in their lives, and many like to find a sense of companionship in games. So... I feel that simulation games are a great option! Something like raising a baby or nurturing an idol."

"Players act as the mentor or manager, watching their characters grow from clueless newbies into dazzling stars. This sense of accomplishment from witnessing a character's growth is incredibly addictive!"

Pei Qianqian shook her head.

"But there are too many idols being made now."

"If we show it at an exhibition, players might immediately think that Chaoxi is also following the trend."

"What about keeping pets?"

As soon as Zhao Zhibai finished speaking, he denied it himself.

"Forget it, there are already a bunch of animals over there with 'Love Talks with People.' Putting two games together at the exhibition would be too redundant."

"What about 'No War Tomorrow 2'?"

After the name was mentioned, the reaction in the meeting room became noticeably more serious.

"No War Tomorrow 1" was once one of Chaoxi Games' highest-grossing and most influential projects.

Even though "I Have a Sword" later surpassed it in every way, its status in the hearts of veteran players has not declined.

Making a sequel will naturally guarantee high popularity.

"That works!"

"I have a feeling that as soon as Chaoxi Games announces 'No War Tomorrow 2,' veteran players will be able to push the pre-registration charts to the top on the same day."

"The world-building, combat system, and player reputation of the first generation were already well-established."

"The second generation can take over a completely new war zone, and we'll bring air combat directly to it! We'll add new units and campaigns. Showing a concept trailer at the expo will definitely have a great effect."

"..."

Hearing this, Jiang Bo still did not immediately agree.

"No War Tomorrow 2" is indeed the safest choice.

New battlefield, new weapons, new storyline.

If the quality is high enough, players will naturally like it. But for Jiang Bo, this game is more suitable for careful planning, complete production, and then releasing at a truly appropriate time.

It's a bit of a waste to use this brand name now, just to fill the second spot at the Shanghai exhibition.

"Both of the sequels I just mentioned can be included in our future plans."

Jiang Bo finally spoke.

"But this time, I want to make a completely new game."

Ma Shangfei immediately showed a pained expression.

"Good grief! The family heirloom code is useless again!"
