American Fortune Life
Chapter 1332: More Than My Legend!
Marvel Unlimited, to a large extent, is a game that draws on some of the features of the Marvel Racer game, under an open map of the world, which features elements of driving, shooting, fighting, yang and even running, and features superhero superpowers.
Having seen a lot of unlimited web literature, Andy naturally knows how to improve the playability of this game. In game settings, players will be allowed to drop 100 players into the Marvel World Scene in a special subway and airplane parachute in each inning, randomly appearing thermal weapons and props, doing tasks, killing, winning, and winning rewards.
Perhaps in the end, after all the players became superheroes, the Iron and Steel suit flew wildly, a hundred Hulk demolished the city, 50 American captains and 50 Winter Troopers beat each other up, boom, the scene must be beautiful!
Everyone in the conference room at Mockingbird Gaming Company understands that this game is a new one that their big BOSS attaches great importance to, and after discussion, they also find that the game is very entertaining, no one is stupid, they are the elite in the industry, naturally understand that once the game is released, it can make a huge profit.
And everyone knows that their company's dividends to the development team are also very tempting, and look at the three development team members of my world, Angry Birds, and Planting Zombies, and that's a lot of money.
At the Mockingjay Gaming Company, every programmer wants to sell the games in their hands, then drive a sports car and live a wonderful life in a mansion, so the right to develop this Marvel Unlimited is the hottest competition.
Andy looked at his crew, staring at himself with a burning eye, and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
“If you have a team with a project in hand, the game will first develop a PC version, and because of copyright issues, you need to get authorization from Marvel Group, and in a cooperative way you need to give Marvel Group some share. ”
With Andy's explanatory introduction, the crowd in the conference room slowly calmed down, especially those groups that had game projects in their hands, who knew they were out of action.
“It's still up to you, Blair. ”
Hearing Big BOSS, Blair, as CEO, smiled and nodded, “No problem, boss, I'll get people together as soon as I can to start the project. ”
“Well, that's good, because our decision to invest in developing our own 3D engine was undoubtedly a very correct step.” Without restricting the development of the game because of the 3D engine, Andy was very pleased that a gaming company would really have no future without its own technical features.
“Don't let the development of 2nd generation game engines fall, make the scene more delicate, make the game scene feel the most direct intuition, such as the texture of leaves and bushes, the texture of all kinds of guns, the BO pattern of the water surface, the transformation of the outlook, the effects of the light shadow, the interaction of characters with the scene, etc. should all be pursued, more rich and detailed, more in line with the human eye, more authentic. In this way, the player's sense of substitution is stronger. ”
Hearing the suggestions and requests from the big boss, the person in charge of 3D game engine development should seriously nod their faces seriously, they engineers, that is sincerely admire the big boss's boldness and excellence, since the professional commercial engine has made its way, no company other than a few old brand game companies will invest a lot of human resources to develop the exclusive game engine, all spend a little money to buy ready-made commercial engines to develop the game.
This can save a lot of money, but, similarly, it also constrains the development of the gaming company, has no characteristics, some even for the smooth running of the program, directly sacrifices the quality of the picture to guarantee, and the design mode of the commercial engine is relatively monotonous and concise, and most of the games made are similar.
A meeting lasted more than two hours, not only listening to the project team, but also gaining a more comprehensive view of the operations of Mockingjay. Of course, the big BOSS brain hole opened up and another game was planned, and after the meeting, it spread to the company.
The development and marketing of a game is popular, the whole company goes on and on, no one doubts that the big boss' plan will not succeed. After all, the big BOSS plan game is a classic one, the one is a money circular instrument!
At the end of the meeting, Andy did not make more stops at the gaming company, but, led by Blair, came by car to inspect the site of the new headquarters building where Mockingjay Gaming had begun.
Although there is nothing to see on the construction site and the dust is still flying, Andy stands in front of the HQ design effect diagram, looks very distinctive, impressive pixel building, in a very good mood. As a company that has grown from his own hands, he is also the first to start building his HQ building, ridiculing the bird game company is undoubtedly his most valued quality asset, it's not true!
After a lap on the site, Andy left the site satisfactorily. At noon and Mockingjay Games, the chief of the Freedom City APP mall, said that after a rich working meal, at 2.30 p.m., Andy, with his assistant and the negotiating team in front of him for the acquisition of the Los Angeles Times, rushed to the Forum Newspapers Group's headquarters.
On the balcony lit by flashes of light, Andy brushed his name on the document with that incredibly luxurious fountain pen, and Eddie, CEO of the Los Angeles Times, who had been standing on the side of the press conference, despite his seriousness, slightly trembling punches and the excitement in his eyes, betrayed how excited he was at the moment, and at the same time, a long breath of relief.
The Los Angeles Times, from top to bottom, undoubtedly took great risks in finding a good way to force the parent company to make a choice through a big strike. To be honest, as a professional manager, Eddie's actions undoubtedly belong to betrayal and counteract his own parent company, with or without success, will bring indelible stains to his resume and career.
When I think about my previous meeting with Andy Smith, the new owner of The Los Angeles Times, they had a deep look and a cold, warm look and tone, and were overshadowed by shadows and bitterness.
“Don't worry, it's okay, I'm sure Mr. Smith will understand, after all, we had to. ”
Hearing a few words of comfort, Eddie turned to John, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper next to him, and laughed bitterly: "Our new boss... Hey, by now, it's useless to say anything, hopefully... ”
Editor-in-Chief John did not hear Eddie's words of hope, as the press conference scene was already filled with warm applause, and the flash lit up the entire podium, and Andy Smith smiled and shook hands with the chairman of the Forum Newspapers Group, exchanging the deal contracts in his hand, and then turned to the press gallery.
“Where do I go when the 128-year-old Los Angeles Times changes hands again? What does it mean for American newspapers and even global newspapers today?
Will the Los Angeles Times still be worth it the next time it's sold? ”
Andy sat on the podium with a faint expression, the gaze of the many reporters who looked like wolves under the stage, and said a series of questions that calmed down the scene that was otherwise noisy.
“Some say that I keep buying newspapers, as if I were back a hundred years ago, when influential media were controlled by a small group of rich people.” Andy finally had a laugh on his face and shook his head with a smile and continued: “Perhaps, unfortunately, holding a newspaper now is not going to pay off. From the moment I decided to acquire the newspaper, I knew that today's press would not be as profitable as it was decades ago. Profits are low now and will get lower and lower. ”
The scene became so quiet that every reporter looked like Andy Smith, mocking himself and shaking his head, listening carefully to him continue to say: “We need newspapers, we need honest intellectuals, we need writers and editors who are passionate about the work.
At this point, I would like to say to my Los Angeles Times staff that the dilemma we have been in since 2000 begins and ends today, and I will ensure that you have enough tools and resources to produce high-quality news that readers need and rely on. Our legend goes beyond that, our new legend is beginning! ”
