Chapter 339: The status quo of mobile games and Andy'
Blair looked at the cheeky red face, said the elated Tory Black, and looked at the smiling boss with a questioning expression, but only saw the boss shaking his head and spreading his hands. , Looking at Tory Black again became a little different.
"Yes, I can think of these suggestions. It's really good. Tori, if you have any good suggestions after playing the game, you can tell me directly. I won't save the reward." Andy smiled at Pu Fan. Tory with long eyelashes encouraged.
"Yes, boss, I will work hard." The young assistant smiled with emotion.
"Oh, Miss Black is really amazing. At first I thought it was the boss who showed you the planning documents. I didn't expect that you could think of these points just by playing a game. Why not come to our company as an experience officer. I think it will be helpful for the upgraded version of the game ... "
"No ... No, I can't do it. I just play blindly. I feel too stupid to go through the level before thinking about cheating ..." The little assistant hurriedly shook her hands, explaining a little embarrassedly.
"Ha ha..."
Andy watched Blake teasing little assistant silently. For Tory, she felt an unexpected surprise. Whether it was because she was lazy or trying to make tricks, she could come up with these suggestions. The power is also good. If you can still put forward some ideas for building Xing, you can be qualified for the position of experience officer, but that is a future thing.
The car quickly arrived outside the mocking bird game company's building. After getting off, Andy took a group of people straight to the company's conference room. The employees along the way looked at him with adoration and greeted him . Andy nodded.
"Everyone has a good spirit," Andy said with a smile to Blair.
"Of course, the latest third-party agency evaluation report has come out, and our company's valuation has doubled again. Everyone is very excited, and you are even more impressed by the boss." Blair took a moment to take a shot fart.
Andy shook his head and laughed, "It's inseparable from your efforts ..."
Heading into the well-organized conference room, everyone stood up and greeted Andy.
Andy nodded with a smile, walked to the top of the conference table and stood, reached down and pressed down, and said lightly, "Everyone sit down."
"Seeing that there are more new faces, we laugh at Bird Company as a new company and a fast-growing company. It is very hungry for talent. I think you can sit here now, and your ability is at least acquired. The human resources department recognizes that in the future work, I hope you will not let me down. You are welcome to join us to witness the growth of a great company. "
As soon as Andy's voice fell, applause broke out in the conference room. Both old and new employees have no awkward feelings about the great company that the boss said. You should know that at this time last year, the predecessor of this company was facing bankruptcy. After the boss bought it, through 8 months of hard work, The company's asset valuation has reached $ 600 million, which has been called a miracle by many media.
If there are no surprises in the middle and the follow-up products are still excellent, it is only a matter of time. Its growth rate is really amazing.
"The reason why I held this meeting today is that I now have two more game ideas, and I want to make them as soon as possible." As soon as Andy's words fell, I felt the atmosphere in the conference room condensed. Except for the Toby group who is still working on "Under the Legend", everyone else looks at the boss intently.
The success of Andy's previous three game ideas has convinced the boss of the company's talents. Take a look at the two development teams of "Zombies" and "Minecraft", even if the percentage is small, let this The members of the two development teams have learned a lot, after all, the two games are selling well.
Whoever doesn't want to make more money, the boss's new game ideas naturally make everyone excited.
As for developing two new games at the same time, there is no one to worry about burning a bit of money. The owner is the youngest billionaire, and it is not bad money.
Besides, the two games, "Zombies" and "Minecraft", are getting better and better with constant advertising, and they are almost ready to become banknote printers. Even the "Happy Farm" game will bring more than one million yuan to the company every month. With the increase of Facebook users, its revenue will only increase.
To be honest, the location of the mocking bird game company is still not close to Silicon Valley, but after intentionally revealing the company's earnings this year, it immediately made it a very eye-catching company. The media scrambled to report, well, there are also Part of the suspicion of the hype.
However, at least the reputation of Laughing Bird Games has begun to become known.
"I first talk about the first game plan. Some time ago, Blair told me that the company's 3d game department has perfected the game engine. At that time, I was thinking of designing a 3D game. After all, the North American home console game market It ’s very big. We ca n’t stop eating this piece of cake, so we have this 3D game plan for Devil's Soul. ”
Then Andy motioned for people to close the curtains and lights, and started to show some sketches in the hands with a projector to everyone. The main line of the story was also roughly explained. The specific content is to talk to the people in the 3D game development department. Discussed it again.
The people in the conference room, especially the 3D game development department, were very excited looking at the sketches. Since being acquired and split and reorganized, these people are worried about their future while improving the game engine. After all, the new company is a company that produces computer games, and the games they mainly developed were console games. For the uncertainty of the future, the 3D game department is still a little disturbing.
Now it ’s okay, looking at each one is not very beautiful, but in their eyes are such cute sketches, and that little worry deep inside disappears with it.
The 3D game directors and engineers, programmers, listening to the boss ’s game introduction, one by one, from excitement to face to face, they are all seniors, very clear that if you follow the boss ’s game settings, players will definitely be abused to death. Everyone looked at the handsome face of the boss with a smile. Under the light of the projector, it seemed that the shadow behind him had turned into a smirking big devil, who was holding the players in his hands and playing with it. . .
"Well, this is the general content of the console game. The next game is the second one. Before that, I will give you some confusion." Andy raised his hand to signal the staff to turn on the light, and he turned it off. After the projector, put his arms around his chest on the conference table, looked around the conference room for a week, and then said.
"Maybe everyone is a little curious about the new colleagues who have recently joined, and the new ones will inevitably feel a little hesitant. After all, this is a game company. Why is it recruiting some mobile phone programmers?
Now I will tell you why, in San Francisco some time ago, Steve Jobs released the crazy mobile phone, everyone should know, you should also read in the newspaper that I am optimistic about the future of smart phones, so my second game The plan is a mobile game based on the touch screen of Apple iphone and Apple's ios mobile operating system-"Fruit Swordsman". "
Andy's words made the people in the conference room frowned slightly. After all, the previous mobile games were not really seen by those who made computer games and console games. The main thing was the profit. kind.
Especially the group of mobile game programmers is not large, programmers who have basically switched to online games, or else they will not let a "greedy snake" dominate the mobile game market for many years.
In fact, there are still a lot of games on the mobile game market, but because of resolution reasons, such as racing or something, there are still many transplanted games like Super Mario. However, the mobile game market is basically preempted by the handheld. Machine is the current trend.
The boss now says to do mobile games, don't you know the popularity of PSP handhelds? Well, even if Apple's iCrazy phone is good, it will have a place in the market, but how can the mobile game produced be promoted and sold? On what platforms? This all needs to be considered.
Another person must say it, of course, it is sold on Apple's application store!
Don't tease, Apple's app store will not be available until July 2008.
Hey, this has to make Andy talk about something, not only Nokia and Microsoft look down on the iPhone, even Apple itself looks down on the iPhone. Apple developed the iPhone simply because of the success of the ipod.
To be honest, Apple's idea is really simple, just to consolidate the iPod Walkman's territory, by the way, in the presence of Microsoft and Nokia two big brothers just a chicken leg. Before Apple launched the AppStore in July 2008, there was no software or game running on the iPhone.
Andy looked at the conference room in a weird atmosphere and sighed in his heart. He knew that his mobile game plan was contradicted by everyone, especially some old employees who came all the way from the edge of bankruptcy. It is nervous, good computer games do not do, do hair mobile games!
"Boss, is this matter under consideration? After all, we haven't done mobile games ..."
Andy watched Barabara talking to executive Blair to himself, clearly seeing that everyone around him nodded in agreement.
Resistance. Andy encountered resistance for the first time, not because his subordinates wanted to rebel, but because their vision was limited. Of course, they were also responsible for the wealth of the boss. Once they failed, the capital invested was basically equal to Drifted. As a subordinate, you will naturally do your best to prevent the boss from making the wrong decision.
