Number One Game Designer

Chapter 216: "The Octagonal Woman"

Fang Xi coughed awkwardly:

"The tentative name is "Octogonal Traveler", not an octagonal woman. Qiulin, you have to change the dialect when you are excited."

Then Fang Xi also gave a formal introduction:

"Shao Qiulin, our deputy director of R&D at Hongyi, is also the person in charge of the "October Traveler" project. Young people, audacious. Don't blame everyone, Qiulin sit down and eat meat."

The atmosphere was a bit cold for a while, whether it was Shao Qiulin's outburst or Fang Xi's aggravated words "energetic", it all showed that Fang Xi was not satisfied with them.

At this time, Shuiyuan, who had cut the mutton next to him, walked over and looked at a table of people staring at each other, and only Fang Xi was still cooking the mutton calmly. He pulled a towel and wiped his hands:

"This is the apprentice I took when I was still playing games, Cui Yue."

"Cui Yue, Teacher Fang is now one of the top designers in the world. I wonder if I have to look at others' results before."

Fang Xi was too embarrassed to say anything after others had given face. After looking at Shao Qiulin, who was still angry, Fang Xi stopped his chopsticks.

"Brother Shui, you should have a room available here, right?"

Shuiyuan nodded, and pointed to the opposite side of their shabu-shabu:

"There is my usual study room, which is not used much, but it is cleaned all the time and it is fairly clean."

Fang Xi glanced, half a yard away from them, it was not bad, Fang Xi faced Shuiyuan:

"In this case, look, Brother Shui, their young people are not convinced with each other, they might as well go to the house to have a good chat, either quarrel or be reasonable, anyway, this contradiction is resolved, this is much better than keeping it in my heart, right? "

Looking at Shui Yuan with his strange gaze, Fang Xi also knew that this proposal seemed meaningless. The difference in concept could be solved by a short conversation. Fang Xi scratched his cheek and said:

"Actually, it's because the script of the "Octogonal Traveler" I wrote is quite satisfactory, so I might as well let them communicate with the juniors. I think it should have good results."

Shui Yuan nodded, Fang Xi said that he was on this point, and he couldn't refuse:

"Cui Yue, you go to my study with Teacher Fang's disciples, and you two will have a good exchange of your experience of playing games."

The teacher is dead, Cui Yue stopped saying anything, stood up and snorted to Shao Qiulin:

"follow me."

Shao Qiulin also stood up unconvinced and followed.

Shaking his head, Fang Xi also felt that this kind of young mentality was quite good. He had the courage to tear, and now he felt tired when he saw this. He looked at the group of middle-aged people left at the table, Fang Xi Smile:

"Those elder brothers and juniors will solve the problems of the juniors, let's eat meat, come~"

After Shuiyuan sat down, the atmosphere finally became a little lively. I don't know who took out a bottle of white wine from where, fresh meat and strong wine, the atmosphere became another three minutes warmer.

Looking at Shui Yuan, Fang Xi whispered:

"Brother Shui, haven't you played games lately?"

"I definitely want to do it." Shui Yuan shook Ou and took a bite of the dish.

"It used to be because Donghuang was blocking there. Several of us were full of enthusiasm at the time. We just wanted to play the game. As a result, Donghuang came from other industries and occupied the distribution channel first. We can do the game. Come out, but there is nowhere to sell."

A few words, lightly speaking, but Fang Xi can also appreciate the helplessness.

"In the back, I was the two of my apprentice Cui Yue. They printed the CDs and sold them on the street with their backs on their backs. Now that I think about it, it is quite happy for a while." After saying that Shuiyuan drank a small cup of wine, his face turned a little red .

"But later...I asked you to call out, Brother Fang."

Fang Xi nodded and said he didn't mind.

"Brother Fang, you should also understand how big your monopoly profit is and how strong your influence is when your company is bigger now."

This Fang Xi has a deep understanding, and now he is almost a monopoly in digital distribution. Honghu platform has new games on the shelves every day, and there is also an eternal and survival path to suppress the market. In this case, if Fang Xi wants to maliciously suppress It’s simply not too easy to break other manufacturers, such as reducing their own commission ratio, giving new games a period of free promotion, etc., so that the Honghu platform still has huge profits to make, but other new platforms basically have no money and methods. Those who fight this kind of battle can easily squeeze other platforms down. It is not ethical, but it is very effective.

On the other side, Shuiyuan took a sip and was still telling:

"At that time, we relied on our own burning CDs to sell, which is considered to be a bit famous, but soon the market is full of pirated versions of our games. We burned by ourselves, and the cost of the single game alone was more than ten yuan. Thirty yuan can make some money. But those pirated copies are five yuan a piece, and all the games we make ourselves are all packed in a compact disc."

Shui Yuan became more and more angry when he said that, Fang Xi hurriedly filled another glass of wine.

"It only costs five yuan! Five yuan can pack all the games that we have made. This is what Donghuang and the others do. They have their own processing plants. They only lose a little money, and they can force it. We have to leave the field directly. It’s hard to settle~"

Shui Yuan let out a long sigh at this point, and several other people also let out a long sigh.

They are not without dreams, but their dreams were choked to death by others from the beginning.

Not to mention dreams, everyone is also human. If you are hungry, you have to have money to eat. If you are tired, you must have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. As a result, playing a game not only does not make money, but also loses money. This is more bullshit. After all, everyone is for their dreams and for filling their stomachs, but not for charity.

Seeing a table of frustrated people, Fang Xi shook his head, filling up the drink one by one:

"It didn't work before, what about now? Now Dong Huang is faltering. Their biggest reliance on physical distribution is nothing now. Have you ever thought of coming back and continuing to play games?"

Speaking of this, the four were silent again for a while, but Shui Yuan still calmly filled himself with a glass of wine, then raised his head and worked, and said with a wry smile:

"Playing games, of course, I think about it in my dreams, but now that we have been out of the market for ten years, we dare not think about how much the whole world has changed. The game industry is naturally the same."

"What are we now? A group of losers come out again to make old-fashioned games for people? When we did it, we were still in 2D, let alone 3D. I have seen your Hongyi's CG, and what we are doing now can be said to be yes. What can we do if we go out with the fake?"

Fang Xi smiled and filled Shuiyuan's wine again:

"Retro style is still popular in the art world, who said that the game world is not good?

Fang Xi drank a glass of wine confidently, and pointed to the study at the other end:

"We might as well see how the younger generations are talking."
