Chapter 873: 500 million projects, don't care?

Friday, February 3, 10 am.
Pei Qian came to Moyu Internet Cafe Handong University Store. After breakfast and lunch, he ordered a cup of coffee and asked the waiter to bring his laptop and continue to consider the work arrangements of various departments.
"Hey, the most recent revenue data of ZDNet.com is still rising steadily."
"This broken website is really getting better and better every day?"
"No, you can't let it go anymore, you have to make arrangements when you make time."
Pei Qian simply looked through the revenue data of several departments and found that although the terminal Chinese website is not the most profitable, it is the most stable and steadily increasing profit.
Judging from the various data, more and more authors have joined the end Chinese website, and the library of the entire website is constantly expanding.
For similar web-based websites, the content is always the first. As long as the end Chinese website can maintain its attractiveness to authors and always provide competitive works, the future development will definitely become smoother.
Pei Qian had been worried about too many things before, and felt that the end Chinese website didn't make much money, so there was no need to focus on it. But when I look at it now, I can't pay attention to it. If this continues, I'm afraid it will be a tiger's legacy.
But... how can we curb the development of the terminal Chinese website?
This is a technical job, which requires long-term consideration.
Pei Qian couldn't help but fell into thought.
He was thinking when he suddenly saw a familiar figure pushing in outside the Internet cafe.
"Teacher He?" Pei Qian was a little surprised.
The person who came is He An.
He An was also a little surprised when he saw Pei Qian. Maybe he didn't expect to meet him by chance, so he went straight to the empty seat opposite Pei Qian and sat down.
"Teacher He, why did you come to Jingzhou?" Pei Qian asked.
He An smiled: "I have nothing to do recently, come to Jingzhou for a walk and relax."
"By the way, President Pei, how is your game...how is it doing?"
This "game" of course refers to "Mission and Choice". The birth of this game has a deep relationship with He An.
Since He An proposed to President Pei, he has always felt worried about it, for fear that he will really lose 500 million in blood by then, then wouldn't he have pitted President Pei?
Therefore, He An has always been thinking about this matter. This time he came to Jingzhou to relax and saw Mr. Pei. Of course, he had to ask more questions.
Pei Qian was silent for a moment: "Uh...I don't know too much."
He An: "?"
You are not sure, is it okay?
This is a game project that burned 500 million!
From the formal project to the start of production, the game has been developed for more than four months. If some small projects can't be customized, they are almost finished now.
"Mission and Choice" is a big production, and the development time really needs to be extended, but in more than four months, how can we make a semi-finished product with Tenda's development efficiency?
In the end, Mr. Pei didn't know him well?
A project with an investment of 500 million yuan was half done, but the boss didn’t even bother to ask?
Could it be more nonsense?
Or……
Mr. Pei was joking before. He felt that this project must have suffered a blood loss, so he stopped the project after working for a while? Stop developing?
He An looked at Pei Qian with suspicion: "Mr. Pei, don't you think this project is definitely losing money, so there is no development at all?"
Pei Qian immediately shook his head: "How can that be possible!"
"Development must be normal development. According to the progress, it should have been done more than half, right? Just so, why should the teacher come and have a look with me?"
He An was even more confused, and couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in the gourd.
Say that President Pei does not attach importance to this project, he has invested so much money and so much manpower; said that President Pei attaches importance to this project, it has been developed for four months, and he can't even ask?
Even the development progress depends on guessing?
It is very unreasonable to think about it!
He An nodded: "Okay, I am also very curious about the current state of this game."
After Pei Qian finished his coffee, he strolled with He An to the nearby Tenda game headquarters.
This was the first time He An came to Tenda's office area and was surprised by this spacious and luxurious office area just like everyone else.
He An couldn't help but sigh: "I have worked hard in the game industry for decades, and this is the first time I have seen an office environment like this."
He noticed that not only was the office environment very good, but these employees were also very enthusiastic about their work. Everyone was engrossed in their work, and no one even stood up to say hello when President Pei arrived.
Only Hu Xianbin saw the arrival of President Pei and hurriedly stood up: "President Pei!"
Pei Qian smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just came to see how "Mission and Choice" is being developed."
"This is He An from Mengguo Game, President He."
Hu Xianbin showed a stunned expression: "Mr. He! You have been admiring your name for a long time, you are also an old predecessor in the gaming circle! Hello!
The two parties made a brief polite statement, and Hu Xianbin began to introduce the development of the "Mission and Choice" game.
At present, Tenda's game department is basically divided into two projects. Some people are responsible for the development and daily operations of GOG. The person in charge is Min Jingchao. He has just returned from Los Angeles a few days ago, and will soon be back to Los Angeles to play with his backpack; Some people are responsible for the development of "Mission and Choice" and Hu Xianbin is in charge.
"Mr. Pei, the current level of completion of the game is about 60 to 70%. The basic gameplay and the big framework of the game have been completed, and the various game mechanisms are almost completed. There is still a need for the design of each level and some details of the game. Adjust slowly..."
Pei Qian listened carefully and nodded frequently.
He An is also listening carefully, but the expression on his face is unpredictable and a bit exciting.
Because he found out that President Pei didn't seem to have ever asked about this project before?
I can hear that the things Hu Xianbin is reporting are relatively basic, including development progress, preliminary preparations, gameplay settings and other aspects. If Mr. Pei has already known it before, then Hu Xianbin does not need to introduce it again.
There is no possibility and no reason for the two of them to play a double role here to lie to themselves.
Could it be that... Mr. Pei didn't care about it after he really set up the project?
So confident?
He An certainly doesn't think that President Pei's performance is unconcerned, because he feels that no one will be unconcerned about a project that has invested 500 million yuan.
So... the only explanation is that Mr. Pei trusts his opponents very much!
President Pei believes that after he has given a design plan, even if he doesn't bother, his subordinates can well understand the design ideas, complete the work satisfactorily, and finally come up with a finished product that meets his expectations.
But this will lead to a new problem.
Mr. Pei is so confident, definitely because he put forward a very detailed and perfect design idea that solved a series of problems that existed before "Mission and Choice".
But the game "Mission and Choice" is so weird. What kind of design idea is needed to make it successful?
You know, when this game was born, Pei Qian and He An discussed "the most unlikely game plan for success."
Big investment, RTS games, science fiction themes, poor balance, simple operation... These are all "fatal flaws" put forward by He An.
He An believes that as long as Mr. Pei does what he requires, this game is absolutely impossible to succeed.
What's more, President Pei also used the name of the game and the background of the story that were previously called "National Tour Disgrace", and even the slightest possibility of success was gone.
Now that Mr. Pei is confident, He An is interested in this game, but he has more doubts.
After a brief introduction, Hu Xianbin said: "President Pei, Mr. He, would you two try the demo of this game?"
Pei Qian nodded immediately: "Of course."
Hu Xianbin immediately called up the DEMO of "Mission and Choice" on his computer, and then said: "Mr. Pei, the completion of the current DEMO is not bad, but the plot is missing a lot. Because the plot is all expressed in movies. , But now the movie is still being shot, so all you can experience at the moment is the pure combat part."
Pei Qian nodded: "Okay, I get it."
Then, he looked at He An: "It's better for you to try it out and give your opinion."
He An didn't refuse too much, sitting in front of the computer and began to experience the DEMO of "Mission and Choice".
As a real-time strategy game, "Mission and Choice" is of course also in the form of sub-levels~EbookFREE.me~Different chapters and levels have different plots, the map is large and small, and the configuration of the forces of the two sides also changes. The difficulty is from easy to difficult.
Although the map of this level is all on the surface of the planet, there is no battle in the space part, but the map size is not small, and it is estimated that it should be a level in the middle.
"Mission and Choice" adopts the standard third-person perspective of real-time strategy games, but unlike "Xinghai" and other games, "Mission and Choice" has a higher degree of freedom in perspective, and much higher.
General real-time strategy games can zoom in or zoom out the screen, or lower the angle of view, but these operations are strictly limited and cannot be zoomed in unlimitedly.
Because players are very busy most of the time when playing this type of game, they need to pay attention to all units on the battlefield, whether it is operation or observation, the angle of view must be maximized.
Moreover, the model accuracy of the game itself is not so high, and the game screen will appear rough if the viewing angle is too close.
Considering aesthetics and practicability, the low degree of freedom of viewing angle adjustment is a normal design.
But "Mission and Choice" has a high degree of freedom of perspective, which can bring the screen very close, because the accuracy of the soldiers and other combat units in the game is higher than that of all RTS games currently on the market.
He An silently sighed in his heart that he did burn a lot of money, so I didn't have to pick this picture.
The models, movements, and details of each unit are well done, and the shape design is also very unique, and the pictures can be said to be very top-notch.
After all burned so much money, there must be some effect.
The original concept paintings of the game should have been produced by Ruan Guangjian's Halo Studio. The modeling and actions of the game are also the responsibility of the industry's top-ranking outsourcing company. The art is absolutely impeccable.
