Chapter 302 Copycat (Second Update)
After watching the demo released by Fangcheng Studio, the executives of Druid Entertainment fell into deep thought.
Recently, the stock price of Druid Entertainment has been rising, and many investors who are waiting to see it have begun to buy, causing the stock price to rise further.
Although it looks prosperous, only the company's executives know that this is just the effect of good news.
Randyk has been saying recently that he has made preliminary contact with Fangcheng Studio (sent an email), and the other party is very interested in our proposal (has not read it back), and we are currently preparing to negotiate on the acquisition (single If both sides agree, it counts as agreement), and I believe substantial progress will be made in the near future (let’s talk about the definition of near).
Under a series of spring and autumn writings, the intelligence of Druid Entertainment's acquisition of Fangcheng Studio seems to have become a foregone conclusion. Beimi players have said that Randyk, your level of anthropomorphism is quite high this time, and you actually did something human.
But only the top executives know that these are all lies.
The acquisition was not on the agenda, and there was no shadow of anything. These were just Randyk's wishful thinking, and all the prerequisites were not met.
Now, after seeing the new game demo from Fangcheng Studio, some players who still have illusions about Druid Entertainment have begun to leave messages on Little Blue Bird:
[Landick, didn’t you say you were ready to acquire Fangcheng Studio? Why haven't you started promoting the new game yet? 】
[Please release at least some relevant information, we would like to see it. 】
[Yes, what is the specific gameplay, online or stand-alone, and is there any linkage with previous games? Why don't these guys announce it? 】
[Indeed, knowing that there is no news yet, you don’t have any idea of introducing it, right? 】
[Speaking of which, the ban has not been lifted yet. How did you negotiate? 】
There are more and more voices of doubt, and even criticism and criticism cannot be controlled.
If the quality of the recent demos is average, players will not have any expectations for a game of average quality.
However, even if the senior management of Druid Entertainment looked at this demo with various critical eyes, they had to admit that this is a game that is easy to get people interested.
Especially its carrier is the game cabin. This novel game method seems to be naturally suitable for this kind of highly immersive game. Using it to chop down trees is simply a ruthless destruction of other games.
After watching the demo, some senior executives were ready to buy one and take it home to have a look. After all, they had channels and could ignore the ban.
Faced with this situation, Landick had nothing to do.
On the one hand, he wants to stabilize the stock price, and on the other hand, he also wants to maintain the ban. However, the calls for lifting the ban are getting louder and louder, reaching a level that even Landick can hardly ignore.
However, he also knew that he really couldn't come up with relevant games, so he could only look at other executives and ask: "Do you have any good ideas?"
There was silence in the conference room. Everyone looked at each other in silence, unable to think of a single useful idea.
With a long sigh, Landick knew that he might have reached a very dangerous situation.
Most of Druid Entertainment belongs to him, so he can sit in the CEO position for decades, and it doesn't matter if he tries to commit suicide in the meantime.
However, if everyone's core interests are damaged, then Landick knows that he will definitely be the first person to be sacrificed to heaven, and there will be no other candidates.
Therefore, he must think of a way to bypass the current ban on the one hand, and on the other hand, he can make domestic players obediently get cut off, so that he can even make a small profit.
Unfortunately, the person in front of him was unreliable, so he had to come up with a good idea and do it himself.
Announcing the meeting, he asked his secretary to stay.
He personally poured a glass of rum for his secretary, and asked with concern: "Leon, are you married?"
The secretary took a step back warily, stared at Randyk and said seriously: "Randic, I must tell you, our relationship is not that close yet. If you invade my personal space like this again, I will consider calling the police. "
"...Last time you said you liked Chinese culture! So what's wrong with me trying to get closer to you based on Chinese culture!"
"I don't think it's necessary for me to get closer to you, and the part you used happens to be the part I dislike the least."
Looking at the young but upright secretary, Landick felt that he had chosen the wrong person.
However, he doesn't understand games, he only knows profits, so he needs someone who understands games to help him make suggestions and help him understand the current game environment.
Therefore, even if the other party is too straightforward, he can only hold his nose and admit it.
After coughing, he said to Leon: "You have seen the meeting just now. You also understand the company's current crisis."
"Yeah." Leon nodded, "I saw a group of self-inflicted guys thinking about how to make their mistakes less obvious. But it's like that stuffy fart in the elevator. No matter how well you hide it, Finally, you can still see the clues from your pants that are gradually turning yellow."
Landick's straightforward speech made Randy feel tight in his chest, and it took him a long time to calm down.
Taking a long breath, he said to Leon: "The current situation is like this. I hope to release a game that will make everyone think that this game is an upcoming game from Fangcheng Studio."
"You can go and get approval, but it's better to lift the ban first."
"I am also a respectable person, I should..."
"Pfft... I'm sorry, I didn't hold it in, you continue..."
"...I should use some gentle methods to maintain my dignity. And Fangcheng Studio will definitely belong to us in the future, so don't worry about the time issue. Back to the original question, this game is not made by Fangcheng Studio. But I need other people to think they did it.”
Leon looked at Landick: "You mean, you want to imitate this demo."
"You didn't understand what I meant. What I meant was..."
Raising his hand to interrupt Landick's speech, Leon said: "I'm pretty sure what you mean. The method is actually very simple. First, register a studio. The name is Fang Cheng Studio."
After writing the Chinese characters of these two words on the paper, Landick looked at them for a long time and then asked: "Isn't this the same word? What's the difference between Fang Cheng and Fang Cheng?"
"Very good, this is what we want. The second step is to extract the picture items in the demo frame by frame, re-analyze the modeling, and then make a similar game. According to the publicity, this is a farming game game, so we also made it a farming game.”
Hearing this, Landick was relieved: "Yes, you understand what I mean, that's what I mean."
Patting Leon on the shoulder, he said enthusiastically: "Very good, young man, I am very optimistic about you. Just follow this idea and I believe you can do it. I have given you the budget and the new studio director for this matter. You take control, I hope to see the finished product as soon as possible. Ah, I have a charity auction later, so I will go there first. This task is completed beautifully, let Fangcheng Studio have some color to see."
Putting on his suit, Landick hurriedly left here, but stopped at the door, looked at Leon and said: "Remember, we are creating a new game production method with Druid characteristics, not borrowing from it."
"…Okay, sir."
Watching Landick leave, Leon sighed and began to prepare his own plan.
The farming game is not too difficult, but the flow experience is the most important. This experience can be summarized as the rhythm of the game, and the rhythm of the farming game is the most important.
Modeling and other things can be found in the art material library of Druid Entertainment, and there are many related resources. You can let the game artists you choose to complete it together. The final product can be eight or nine points comparable to the games of Fangcheng Studio. similar. This gap can be fooled by the Beimi Agent Edition. As for how long it can be fooled, it is not a question that he needs to think about.
But the rhythm is difficult to reproduce, especially after Leon compared the relevant values of "The Second Son of the Forest", he felt more and more that the guy who could produce such values was definitely a genius.
I used to think that Fang Cheng was the only genius in Fang Cheng Studio, but now it seems that there are quite a few outstanding people there.
Thinking of this, Leon couldn't help but cover his head. He couldn't figure out how confident Landick was, thinking that he would definitely be able to acquire this talented studio.
But the mission has come, and there is no room to look back.
He had no choice but to continue working.
If it weren't for the high income from this job, he would have quit long ago.
Lyon knows that his innovation ability is insufficient, but he has one characteristic that is particularly suitable for making games.
His analytical skills are particularly good, and he can understand the logic behind many things after just looking at them. It's the kind of math competition where you can see three solutions to the last question at a glance, and you can even see a particularly simple, efficient and beautiful method.
After analyzing all the content in the demo, he used existing resources and ready-made templates to restore a value himself. As a result, he actually made the PC and Xbax versions of "The Jungle 3" in a very short period of time.
"Forest 3" was ready to be released before Fangcheng Studio, but just before the release of "Forest 3", he found Landick and said hesitantly: "Shall we do this?"
"There's nothing wrong with it." Landick trimmed his nails with a file and said nonchalantly, "My stocks have been cashed out at a high level. If I do this, the stock will rise sharply, but if it fails, I can also buy the bottom. I feel fine. "
"You, this rotten CEO, are really hopeless." Leon sighed.
"But this CEO can offer you a salary that you simply can't refuse." Landick said with a smile.
Looking at the confident Landick, Leon could only shake his head and prepare to release "Forest 3".
Life or death depends on fate, Leon thought helplessly.
