Game production, I entered the Star Iron shooting CG

Spread just went through a big update, so there will be new content soon?

Even the pigs in the production team didn’t dare to give birth like this!

This time, An Yi was unusually secretive about the update content, leaving countless players scratching their heads.

Baby, you weren't like this before.

In the past, you were always straightforward and never kept people in suspense.

It's happening all of a sudden now, baby, I'm so scared, do you have someone else outside... ah, no, did you learn bad things from those bad guys? !

Netizens had a heated discussion surrounding Mihoyo’s update announcement.

"Wuhu, cheer up! Mihoyo has never rested for a moment because of the explosive popularity of the explosion mode. The next thing coming to "Spread" is an unknown limited-time mode!"

"Is it true that Mr. An has no creative bottleneck? Even the donkeys in this production team are not so productive?!"

"Now I finally don't have to climb over the firewall to play other people's games. I heard that players from other websites are crazy about climbing over the firewall to play "Spread" here."

"Zhao, so that's what's going on. I was wondering why I always run into high-frequency fighters these past few days. Turns out they are international friends. They want to play blasting even with hundreds of pings. It's so funny."

"As long as Spread goes abroad, it won't be surprising if people come to play their games directly."

"I don't want to say more. I just want to keep the old thief An in suspense. What exactly is the limited-time mode?"

Because Mihoyo's information management is very complete and there are no uncles or insiders on the Internet to reveal the information, most of the netizens' speculations seem to be reasonable and well-founded, but most of them are just for fun.

However, amidst the harmonious speculations of netizens, there was also a very hostile voice.

[A new mode? Going abroad? Mihoyo is a fucking traitor! Why is Mihoyo's technology so good? Does Mondi know? It's all from licking their boots! FPS games are popular in Europe and America, so Mihoyo made them. They don't care about their reputation just to lick their boots! And they still want to go abroad? Ugh, disgusting, disgusting! ]

He is the new chief planner of Penguin Games, Liu Jiaqi.

From the players' surging discussions, he could only sense the fear of being dominated by Mihoyo, and the deep distress.

He took over this position after his old boss Lan Yu resigned.

However, his first task after taking office was to make a game to compete with Onmyoji.

Emmmm unfortunately, he failed.

However, with his refined skill of shifting the blame, Wu Zhiqun did not lose his position.

After all, Wu Zhiqun knew that time was short and it was enough to make a decent game, so he couldn't ask for too much.

Besides, it’s just a small mobile game, it didn’t cost much money, so it’s not a pity to waste it.

In addition, there were many manufacturers involved at the time, and the scene was chaotic due to the large number of people.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wu Zhiqun immediately hired a large number of internet trolls to praise his competitors' games, and then directly announced a full refund of the vouchers for his own game and removed it from the shelves for rectification.

With his move of selling out his teammates and running away, Onmyoji players successfully pointed the finger at the manufacturers. Penguin Games was not negatively affected.

However, those manufacturers who listened to Penguin but were sold out in return are somewhat dissatisfied.

However, this dissatisfaction disappeared after Wu Zhiqun promised that his own channels would give their games a certain amount of exposure.

Of course, the real reason why Wu Zhiqun didn’t hire Liu Jiaqi was because of the shortage of manpower. No one really wanted to hire him…

It's almost the end of the year, where can we recruit people? !

Now even a screw or a piece of toilet paper must be left for him.

The new task that Wu Zhiqun gave to Liu Jiaqi was to revamp the business models of its old games, especially those that were greatly impacted by other games on the market, which needed to be given special attention.

As for who was impacted and which games were impacted, Wu Zhiqun did not say because he still had some dignity to save.

Liu Jiaqi naturally knew this very well, and he spent a long time studying the variant gameplay of "Spread" and its derivative gameplay, the pursuit mode. He then spent several days working overtime to copy it and added his own variant modes to several shooting online games under Penguin.

And, you know what, this actually works!

With the support of new gameplay, several shooting online games of Penguin Games have also seen a rebound, and the number of online players has even surpassed the previous peak.

Although some players came to find a similar substitute because there was no shooting gameplay when it first spread.

But it’s okay as long as the number of people actually increases!

Who cares why he came.

As long as the modes of "Spread" are not complete, Penguin will happily accept these hardcore shooting players.

For this reason, Wu Zhiqun also gave Liu Jiaqi some bonus as an encouragement.

Having tasted the sweetness, Liu Jiaqi has made up his mind to do this in the future!

I have to say it, this reference is great!

From now on, I will just follow the path of "Spread"! I will follow whatever mode it comes up with! It will make it mad!

However, the good times didn’t last long…

He was in spreading explosion mode, and blew Liu Jiaqi's beautiful dream to pieces.

All the players who had returned earlier ran away, and the remaining players had a hard time finding matches, so they also ran away.

And I don't understand it this time.

If you understand how to play, you can copy it.

The economic system is a bit troublesome, but if you study it carefully, you can copy it.

What about the matching maps?

You know, it takes a lot of time and effort to design an excellent map.

Liu Jiaqi wanted to copy it directly, but he couldn't because in this world, specific designs like maps cannot be copied and are protected by law.

For the previous mutation mode maps, since it is an asymmetric mode, map balance is not that important. You can just modify the map resources in the previous game and put it online.

The explosive mode is different, and the fairness it requires means that the map design must ensure this.

It is necessary to ensure the balance between both players in map design, not favoring one side, and pay attention to the dynamic links between various locations.

Map boundaries, vision, spawn points for both teams, bomb sites, choke points, connecting paths, and cover...

If you don't copy these things, Liu Jiaqi won't be able to copy them even if you force him to death.

There was no point in being anxious, so Liu Jiaqi could only bite the bullet and ask Master Huang Liang for advice, but because Master Huang had called too many times in the past few days...

The clay Buddha still has some temper. The honest man Huang Liang has now also learned their two sets of tricks, one set for the front and one for the back.

Isn't it just a joke? Who can't do that? Do you really think that honest people deserve to be bullied?

In short, due to various reasons, Liu Jiaqi's progress in the blasting mode was extremely slow.

Up to now, I haven’t even come up with a map.

Chapter 166: Don’t contact me anymore. I’m afraid Mr. An will misunderstand.

With work progressing so unsatisfactorily, Liu Jiaqi's mood was naturally not very good.

And today, Wu Zhiqun repeatedly urged him to update the blasting mode as soon as possible, and to complete it before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is the end of the New Year holiday.

This means that if you can’t figure it out, forget about taking a vacation.

I have to stay in the company and work overtime even on New Year's Eve.

It’s no wonder that Wu Zhiqun is anxious.

Because today, he learned some bad news.

At first, the contract between Mondi and Penguin Games expired. When negotiating the renewal, the other party was not very interested and even put forward many outrageous conditions that Penguin would never agree to.

It doesn't sound like something that could be thought of by someone who is sincere in cooperating.

Feeling that something was wrong, Wu Zhiqun used his connections with higher-ups and found out that Mondi's people had already contacted Mihoyo.

After more careful inquiries, it turned out that Mondi noticed the huge market for "Spread"'s blasting mode in Europe and the United States, and wanted to use Spread to advertise among the player community.

This is incredible.

Wu Zhiqun was unhappy at that time.

Yes, our Penguin games are not playable abroad, but Spread, as a shooting game with unique gameplay, really hits the sweet spot of European and American players.

But we are the number one in China. Are you planning to give up the domestic market?!

Wu Zhiqun appealed to Mondi's negotiating representatives with emotion and reason, hoping to influence them.

However, although the other party seemed to have listened to me, he did not intend to change his mind. He just replied: "Mr. Wu, you are right. The previous cooperation was very pleasant, but... well, if you can also make a game similar to Spread, we will reconsider cooperating with you."

Mondi's representative swallowed his reason halfway through his speech and only made a symbolic verbal promise.

There are two reasons.

One reason is that Mondi has been suppressed by N Card in the overseas market recently.

Because N cards and the game manufacturers there have reached a cooperative relationship of varying depth, the manufacturers' games will have special optimizations for N cards.

Just this one operation has captured the majority of the player groups.

By the time Mondi reacted, all foreign game manufacturers had become friends with Nvidia, and it was too late to contact them.

They have already pulled up their pants. It's saintly time. No matter how you tempt them, it won't work.

There is no other choice but to seek help from outside the world.

Fortunately, there is always a way out. They discovered the game "Spread" from the Chinese region. It is really difficult to find games that can enter the European and American markets in this area.

After a more careful investigation, it was found that the Star Iron that went viral on the Internet some time ago was actually produced by a company called Mihoyo.

So what are you waiting for? The natural thing is to throw away the useless old thing and embrace the new love.

Secondly, we have been cooperating with Penguin for several years and both parties know each other well.

What are the games in your home like? Don’t you have any idea about the AC number?

Let's part ways in peace, give each other some face, and stop delaying me from finding another partner, okay?

It’s best not to contact us in the future. I’m afraid Mr. An will misunderstand.

The first reason is that it is difficult to say, and the second reason is that saying it out loud would hurt feelings.

But to Wu Zhiqun, these words were a signal to win back an old love. After sending off Mondi's representative, he immediately urged Liu Jiaqi to work hard on the BLASTING PLUS version.

But even a good cook cannot cook without rice, let alone Liu Jiaqi who is not even a good cook.

Originally, Liu Jiaqi had been thinking about how to copy the blasting mode these days, and he was almost having a nervous breakdown from thinking about it.

At this time, Wu Zhiqun put him under another wave of pressure.

He couldn't hold it back any longer and was ready to explode, but it didn't seem appropriate to explode at anyone.

Attack Wu Zhiqun? Stop it.

Go to Old Huang? No, I still have to count on him now. He is Master Huang now.

It's not appropriate to scold the employees... They are working according to his instructions. Why do you blame them for the failure? They are all grown-ups. They have been working hard for several days and nights. I'm afraid they are more resentful than him. What if they hit him when they get angry?

But he couldn't not vent it out, it was so uncomfortable that Liu Jiaqi's face turned green.

Damn blasting mode, you made such a good thing, how can I copy it!

You are the only one who doesn't understand! Mihoyo!

There is a type of person who will never blame themselves for their failure, they will only put all the blame on others.

It's not me who's wrong! It's the world!

Therefore, in Liu Jiaqi's eyes, the existence of Mihoyo suddenly became unforgivable.

He just opened a small account and went to Mihoyo’s official account to criticize it.

Then he saw the update trailer for "Spread".

What? I just stopped for two days and I haven't finished copying the blasting mode yet. You want to force me to death, right?

Come on, then don’t live anymore!

Take one of my moves and heaven and earth will be united!

Didn't Mondi want to cooperate with you? European and American players are optimistic about it, right? Then you are worshipping foreign things by making shooting games! In short, first label Mihoyo as a traitor, grab the moral high ground, and then start to criticize it.

Unexpectedly, this tried and tested trick was of no use at all among the growing group of players.

There wasn't even a single voice agreeing with Liu Jiaqi.
