American Fortune Life
Chapter 1351: My legend doesn't stop there!
"Marvel Infinite", to a large extent, Andy borrowed certain features of the game "Grand Theft Auto". Under the open world map, it integrates driving, gun battle, fighting, yang and even business elements. A game featuring superhero super powers.
After reading a lot of unlimited web posts, Andy naturally knows how to improve the game's playability. The game settings will be in each round, allowing the player to land as a trespasser through special subways and airplanes. Method, throw 1 player into the Marvel world scene, hot weapons and props appear randomly, do missions, kill points to win, and get rewards.
Maybe in the end, after the players have become superheroes, the sky and steel battle suits fly around, one hundred Hulks demolish the city, fifty captains of the United States and fifty winter soldiers fight each other. Alas, the picture will be beautiful!
Everyone in the conference room of Laughing Bird Games Company understands that this game is a new work that their big boss attaches great importance to, and after discussion, everyone also finds that this game is very exciting, no one is a fool, all are in the industry Elite, naturally understand that once this game is on the market, it can make a huge profit.
And everyone also knows that their company's dividends for the development team are also very tempting. Look at the three development team members of the current "Minecraft", "Angry Birds" and "Zombies", it is really profitable earned a lot.
At Laughing Bird Games, every programmer hopes that the game in his hand can be sold, and then live a good life driving a sports car and living in a luxury home. Therefore, the development right of this "Marvel Unlimited" has become the most The hottest battle for goals.
Andy looked at his subordinates, staring at each other with a burning gaze, shaking his head and laughing.
"Even if the team has a project in hand, this game will develop the PC version first, and because it involves copyright issues, it needs to get authorization from Marvel Group, and in a cooperative way, it needs to give Marvel Group some share ..."
With Andy's explanation, the emotions of the people in the conference room gradually calmed down, especially those groups with game items in their hands, they knew they were out of play.
"It's up to you, Blair."
After hearing the words of Big Boss, Blair, as EO, smiled and nodded: "No problem, boss, I will convene a team as soon as possible to start the project."
"Well, that's fine. When we decided to invest in developing our own 3d engine, we undoubtedly took a very correct step." Don't restrict the development of the game because of the 3d engine. This makes Andy very pleased. With its own technical characteristics, there is really no future at all.
"Do n’t let the development of the second-generation game engine fall. We need to make the picture more delicate. Let the game picture give the most direct intuitive feeling, such as the texture of leaves and grass, the texture of various firearms, the bo pattern on the water surface, and the near vision. The transformation of light, special effects of light and shadow, and the interaction between characters and scenes must be pursued, which is richer and more delicate, more in line with the perception of the human eye, and more realistic. This will make the player's sense of substitution stronger. "
Hearing the suggestions and requirements from the big boss, the person in charge of the development of the 3d game engine nodded solemnly and seriously, they, the engine engineers, sincerely admire the boldness and excellent vision of the big boss. Since professional commercial engines have become popular Except for a few established game companies, no company will invest a lot of human capital to develop a dedicated game engine, and they will spend some money to buy ready-made commercial engines to develop games.
Of course, this can save a lot of money, but it also restricts the development of game companies. There are no characteristics, and some even sacrifice image quality to ensure the smooth running of the program, and the commercial engine design mode is relatively monotonous and concise. Most of the games made are similar.
A conference lasted for more than two hours, not only to hear the recent situation of each project team, but to have a more comprehensive understanding of the operation of the mocking bird company. Of course, the big boss had a big brain and a new game was made. After the meeting, the company's plan spread throughout the company.
The development and listing of one game is hot, and no one doubts that the planning of the big boss will be successful throughout the company. After all, the games planned by the big boss are classic, and all of them are money-making tools!
At the end of the meeting, Andy did not stop at the game company. Instead, under the leadership of Blair, he took a car to inspect the construction site of the new headquarters building that mocked the bird game company.
Although there is nothing beautiful and dusty on the current construction site, Andy is standing in front of the headquarters design renderings and looking at the very distinctive and impressive pixel building. The mood is still very good. The company that has developed at hand is still the first to start building its own headquarters building. Laughing at Bird Games is undoubtedly his most valued high-quality asset.
After a round on the site, Andy left the site with satisfaction. At noon and mocking bird game company, the main person in charge of the Free City app store, said after a hearty work meal, at 2: 3 pm, Andy brought a small assistant and appeared in front of him in charge of the acquisition of "Los Angeles" The Times' negotiating team rushed to the headquarters of the Forum News Group.
On the podium illuminated by flashlights, Andy looked indifferently holding the incredibly extravagant pen on the document and signed his name, while standing in the "Los Angeles Times" among the crowd at the side of the press conference. "The publisher and CEO Eddie, although his face is serious and indifferent, but the slightly trembling fists and the excitement in his eyes, still betrayed how excited he is at this moment, and at the same time he breathed a long breath.
This time, from the top to the bottom of the Los Angeles Times, in order to find a good way to force the parent company to make a choice through a strike, it is undoubtedly taking great risks. To be honest, as a professional manager, Eddie ’s The behavior is undoubtedly a betrayal. Countering his own parent company, whether successful or not, will bring an indelible stain to his resume and career.
I remembered that when I met with Andy Smith, the new boss who will take over the Los Angeles Times, the other party had a profound look, a cold expression and a tone. At the same time, the heart was covered with haze, but it was also extremely bitter.
"Relax, it's okay, I believe Mr. Smith will understand, after all, we are compelled."
After hearing the subtle words of comfort, Eddie turned to look at the editor-in-chief of John beside him, and smiled bitterly: "Our new boss ... hey, by now, it's useless to say anything, hope ..."
The editor-in-chief John did not hear the words of Eddie's hope, because the press conference scene was already filled with warm applause, and flashes of light lit up the podium. Andy Smith smiled with a smile and the chairman of the Forum News Group Shake hands, exchange the transaction contract in hand, then shake hands and take a photo with the press seat.
"The 12-year-old Los Angeles Times has changed hands again, and where do we go from now? What does it mean for the American newspaper industry and the global newspaper industry?
Will the Los Angeles Times remain valuable the next time it is sold? "
Andy sat on the podium with a calm expression, calmly facing the eyes of many reporters who were like wolves and tigers on the stage, and spoke a series of interrogative sentences, which quietened the already noisy scene.
"Some people say that my constant acquisition of newspapers is like going back a hundred years ago. At that time, a small number of rich people controlled the influential media." Finally Andy smiled and shook his head in disappointment. Continued: "Perhaps, unfortunately, holding a newspaper now does not bring a rich return. From the decision to buy a newspaper, I knew that the newspaper industry today would not be as profitable as it was decades ago. The current Profits are low, and they are getting lower. "
The scene became extremely quiet, and each reporter looked at Andy Smith, who seemed to be laughing at himself, shaking his head and laughing, listening carefully to him and continuing to say, "We need newspapers, we need upright intellectuals, This work is full of passion for authors and editors.
At this point, I would like to tell my Los Angeles Times employees that the dilemma they have been in for 2 years starts today and ends, and I will make sure you have enough tools and resources to produce the high-quality news that readers need and rely on. Our legend doesn't stop there, our new legend is beginning! "
