Holden smiled bitterly, seeing the boss keep staring at him, and said helplessly: "Boss, if it is an idea we have come up with together, or everyone will come up with various new ideas. But now the boss you are putting a The game is clear from the background story, the involved game characters, props, and levels. What we want to do now is to show the boss your game plan as soon as possible, and there will be additional difficulties to add obstacles. "

Andy pumped the corners of his mouth, Nima, this was a slap, and finally turned into his own. However, Andy also understands Holden's concerns. After all, the first project arranged by the new boss, if it is not possible to let When the boss sees the results, it is really possible to get fired.

In this mood, Andy understands that he was also a game developer before, and the boss's arrangement is the most important. Being able to develop the game to such a trial level within a few months cannot be said that Holden is really working hard.

Andy groaned and shook his head and laughed: "Maybe I was too anxious, but just seeing you develop the demo version to this extent, I always want to hurry up, and then we push the market to make the company profitable. This Only a few months, I know you have worked hard. "

Andy's words fell, and the members of the development team of "Zombies" returned to normal, but they were scared just now.

"Nevertheless, I still have to make a request. I need everyone to brainstorm. Not my planning content is the most suitable and complete. What are your good ideas to say. After the game is sold, I wo n’t save money of..."

Andy encouraged the "Zombies" development team, and Holden said he understood, then turned to look at the "Minecraft" development team led by Bill.

In Andy's mind, "Minecraft" is the most important, much more important than "Zombie Planting." Those tech enthusiasts in the previous life, dug "Minecraft" to a stunning level .

Some people can complete a tall castle in five years. The internal details of the castle are shown one by one, which requires much love and persistence.

Microsoft bought the Minecraft development studio for $ 2.5 billion. Developer Sanders Marcus spent four days developing the sandbox game and brought him $ 1.75 billion in cash.

In just six years, from the sole development, to the release of an internal beta, to the establishment of a studio, and then the acquisition, Marcus cost only $ 5 to buy the initial version from an unknown person. Speaking is almost like a fairy tale.

And the acquirer Microsoft? It only took two years and basically relied on this game to recover the 2.5 billion US dollars spent on the acquisition of the Minecraft studio at the time. Developer Marcus spent 70 million in Los Angeles to buy a mansion. One year later, he regretted selling his game studio. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.

This is undoubtedly a gold mine. Andy will not sell it like the developers of previous lives. It will be the biggest cash cow in Andy's hands.

Bill motioned for the team members to pull the curtains, and the meeting room immediately went dark. A member who was an expert in playing the game in the group demonstrated on the computer and synchronized to the projector in the meeting room.

Familiar blocks, familiar oceans, mountains made of blocks, various plants, trees, everything is so kind.

To be honest, "Minecraft" has been called by the media as "unless such game masters and creative people can enjoy the supreme joy of this game." It still makes sense.

And most players enter the game to do more destruction, trouble, killing animals everywhere with a saw, well, anyway, Andy did this before, let him build a simple small house and pay.

Think about the various majestic buildings constructed by players, such as the city of the sky, such as the Great Wall. Whether it is an imaginary building or some buildings in the real world, they have been restored in the game by the players. Andy watched When it comes to photos or videos, it is truly admiration.

As the demonstration continued, various landscapes of rainforests, deserts, villages, and abandoned mines all appeared on the curtain one by one. The staff member began to show the game mode. At present, there are only three modes of this beta version: creative mode, Survival mode and spectator mode.

The game was demonstrated for about half an hour. Although it was only a rough look, Andy understood that it was hundreds of times stronger than the previous beta version of Marcus.

After the presentation, the curtains were opened, and the meeting room was bright. Andy applauded first, and everyone began to applaud. Bill and his team were excited and pleased on their faces. After several months of hard work, Received recognition.

When applause subsided, Andy looked at Bill and asked, "Can you start selling the beta version now?"

Bill frowned and looked at Andy, saying, "It can be, but it needs to be constantly updated to release new things to players and increase the appeal of the game to the players. . "

Andy set his sights on the company's CEO Blair, Blair said with a cough: "I have made the company's original website a new page, I can post game patches on it, and let players download updates."

Andy nodded in satisfaction, and Bill said, "Then there should be no problem now?"

Bill gritted his teeth and nodded and replied, "We have no problem, we will make simple improvements, and we can make game discs for sale."

Andy looked at Blair with a smile and said, "You are an expert in sales, are you okay?"

"Of course, we also need a promotional animation, which takes a while, it is best to take a lot of scenes from the game, let the player know the game at a glance, and come up with a few classic architectural scenes to increase the appeal." Blair answered confidently.

"That's it." Zombies "needs further development. Don't worry, don't put JING forces on each level. Think about what elements you can add now. After all, there are always setting levels. At the end, only infinite combinations can make infinite possibilities. "

Andy paused and saw that the "Zombie" team was listening carefully, after all, as the game planner, the boss has the deepest understanding of the game.

"This game requires players to have both brain wisdom and cerebellum response. After having the right tactical thinking, they also need to implement strategy by tactics. The tactics include a wide range, the combination of plants, Formations, plants and zombies are battles or defenses. This is all a tactical category. The correct tactics are the key to the player's victory in the battle. Choosing the right tactics requires analyzing the situation before making a decision. So improving the tactics Improve the ability to analyze the situation. "
