Zhou Qian joined Phoenix Company, first after a short training, and then left Tokyo to recruit people from the second week.

She would call Meng Huo every few days to report the situation, but the situation was not as smooth as the two expected, and after two weeks, only three people were willing to participate in the construction of the comic street, and readers who had no money, no interest, and no plan book would not participate.

In particular, the proposal is the most important, some readers have money and interest, but if they want to go to an unfamiliar place to start a business, and they still don't know what to do, and they don't know what the market environment is, these people naturally choose to refuse. No one would decide to open a store and start a business so seriously, and most of the people with economic strength chose to sit on the sidelines, which led to very few participants.

This result inevitably made Meng Shu feel disappointed, but as he expected, he asked Zhou Qian to continue working, but at the end of a phone report, Zhou Qian suddenly asked curiously: "Why don't you regret the teacher, I heard about the game of "Pokemon"...... It seems to be called "Pokemon", right? It's about to sell, isn't it? ”

"No, I didn't hear from that." Meng Huo frowned and asked, "Where did you hear that?" ”

"As your fans said just now, the news has spread." Zhou Qian replied strangely: "The source of the news is quite reliable, it seems that someone inside the company said it, why don't you know the teacher?" ”

Meng Huo really didn't know about this, and after ending the phone, he immediately called Jose to ask.

The result is a little different from what Zhou Qian said, "Pokemon" is not about to be sold, but about to be completed. "Pokemon" ended the main work a long time ago, and it was only forced to delay because Meng Huo transferred people to produce "Gundam Seed", and Sakura expanded its staff some time ago. The people in the game production department returned to their original jobs, they moved to Suhua City, and now they are working on "Pokemon", which will be completed in a short time.

The news leaked out by Phoenix was that "Pokemon" was about to be completed, but after it got out. It soon became a soon-to-be sale in the mouths of readers, causing many people to misunderstand.

"Jose, can't you do a good job of secrecy?" Meng Shu sighed: "That game hasn't been tested yet, but now it's good, everyone else knows about it." ”

"There's no way around this, why don't you ...... teacher" Jose's voice looked helpless: "Pokemon has been open for a long time. has long been revealed, and I can't hide it if I want to...... But speaking of testing, we've got a beta version of it now, teacher, do you want to try it? ”

The voice behind her grew expectant again.

"Is the beta ready?" Meng Shu nodded: "Then you send someone to bring it over, and I'll see how the game works." ”

He is looking forward to the Pokemon game experience, and Jose is also very fast. The next day, people found Meng Shu with a handheld for testing. Meng played seriously for a few days, compared other handheld games, and then let a few employees of Sakura play them, and came to a disappointing conclusion - unqualified.

The disqualification was Meng's conclusion, and the demo version of Pokemon was unanimously praised by other employees, but it was still unqualified because the employees appreciated the game. However, I don't think Pokemon is much more fun than other games on the handheld, and everyone has the same reviews - the graphics are excellent, but the playability is similar to other games.

Meng Huo has the same feeling, according to the average company standards, "Pokemon" must be a very good work. But for Meng Huo, this is a bad work, it can't be separated from other games, how can it be compared with the "Pokemon" in the previous life?

This game has to be reworked! Meng was given this order, which caused an uproar in Phoenix's game production department, and some artists and programmers could not accept it.

"Why? It was a success. Why go back to the furnace and rebuild! ”

"What is our efforts this year!"

These people looked lost and angry, and when the news spread, readers were also in an uproar, the production of this game has actually been leaked for half a year, and many "Pokemon" viewers are looking forward to its sale. But just after the news of the sale, there was a sudden big turn of the year and said that it was going to be rebuilt, and everyone was a little incredulous.

"Isn't it already a success?"

On the forum of the House of Regrets, the layout of "Pokemon" was even more noisy.

"Why go back and rebuild? Doesn't that mean it's great? ”

"What the hell is going on, and what is the teacher thinking?"

The restlessness on this forum, even Meng Shu can feel it in the extreme east, but the last time he saw it was a rare forum, he saw all the voices of questions, so he deliberately set up a post to explain.

"A lot of people say that Pokemon is a success, and I don't deny that, I played the demo version with my own hands, and it was indeed a successful game. But this success, just in the general sense, the Pokemon I wanted was not a game in the general sense, and I had higher expectations for it, so I decided to make it come back to the furnace and remake. ”

"I think it failed, but I don't want to blame anyone. Pokemon is different from text adventure games in that it is not a game that can be done well with a script and character settings. For Pokemon, the fun and playability of the game are paramount, and this reinvention is all about making it even more fun. It's not a happy thing for me to get Pokemon back to the furnace, and I hope you and all the staff in the game production department can understand. ”

With this explanation, the situation quickly subsided.

Meng Shu regretted that the failure of Pokemon was the result of his negligence, and during the time he left, although he occasionally asked about the progress of the game. But in fact, he didn't have much contact with the Phoenix company, and most of the time he focused on the comics, and unconsciously, the people in the game production department moved this game closer to an ordinary game.

He has to go back to the furnace to rebuild, and this time he has to supervise the production of the game, but unfortunately he doesn't have time now, so he can only put it aside.

"I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to make a game."

Meng Wei underestimated the game.,The real game is different from ga1game after all.,Provide story scripts and image music to follow the game theme of lì zuò,Maybe there is only one ga1game.。 Originally, Meng Shu was still thinking about making the World of Warcraft one day, but now he felt that it was simply an unattainable dream.

"If you want to play in the future, it's better to continue to make ga1game......"

Thinking about it like this, that night, Lin Mingzhe called him and was talking about it.

"Since Pokemon has failed, how about you make a new text adventure game? Why don't you regret the teacher, it's easy for you, right? ”

The reason why Lin Mingzhe called was because Meng Huo planned to let the game production department take a collective holiday, and "Pokemon" needed supervision, and he was not available now, so he could only give the employees a holiday.

But no one wants to give up income, so Lin Mingzhe wants to give these employees a paid vacation with a reasonable salary - just kidding, this group of men has spent a year making failed works, and now they even have to take paid vacations, of course Lin Mingzhe refuses to accept it, rather than let them take a vacation, it is better to let them do ga1game.

"It's a pity that Mr. you said at the celebration that you want to let the three winners dub in the new work, right, then your new work is about to come out, the text adventure game is good, the exhibition of this kind of game is like flying, and now many game companies are ahead of us. What a pity, teacher, you will launch another high-quality product to stabilize our position in this market! ”

Lin Mingzhe seemed very enthusiastic, Meng Xu was a little strange why he was so enthusiastic, but he still replied: "I want to make an animated film, if you don't want them to take a holiday, then I will arrange them to help in the animation department......"

"No way!"

Meng Huo's mention was interrupted by Lin Mingzhe, and after the financial director was excited, he sighed and revealed: "What a pity teacher, animated movies are movies, movies cost too much!" You have to think carefully, the company is under a lot of financial pressure right now...... If you're launching a new game, comic and text adventure games are the lowest-cost options, and the game allows people to make the most of it, I hope you give up on the idea of a movie for now. ”

Lin Mingzhe told Meng that Phoenix is now facing huge financial pressure.

Phoenix is not a listed company, and its main capital comes from two shareholders, Meng Shu and Xu Jing, and the profits are used for business development. In recent months, they have acquired Sakura Animation, then the sudden explosion of business and employee growth after the collapse of Manten, and the integration of resources throughout the Far East, Phoenix has been investing, and the capital chain is likely to have problems.

It is difficult for them to support another big expense, and they will have to market the Suhua area in the next few months, which will also require a lot of money, and Lin Mingzhe hopes that Meng Shu will stop for the time being.

"......" Meng Shu was speechless, he patronized the expansion and didn't pay attention to the finances, and he didn't pay attention to it for a while, although the Far East region is only a region, but the expansion here has indeed made the Phoenix Company reach the limit, he asked: "When will the financial situation get better?" ”

"Our investment in the Far East will take a year to recover at the earliest, but if the financial pressure is only reduced......" Lin Mingzhe paused, he looked at the report, and replied after a long time: "About three months, now we are running in the resources of the Far East, and we will see results in a few months, and then the financial pressure will be much less." ”

"If you want to make an animated film, it's better to continue after three months."

Trimester...... According to this time, Meng Huo can indeed only do ga1game to be cost-effective, Phoenix Company has enough experience in making zuòga1game, and it can be completely baked in three months by providing text scripts and character designs.

"Cheng, then I'll prepare a game first......"
