Friday 3 February, 10 a.m.

Pei Qian came to the Handong University store of the fishing Internet café, and after breakfast, he ordered a cup of coffee, and asked the waiter to bring his laptop, and continued to consider the work arrangements of various departments.

"Hey, the recent revenue data of the end Chinese network is still rising steadily."

"Is this broken website really thriving and getting better and better?"

"No, we can't let it go any longer, we have to make good arrangements when we have time."

Pei Qian simply flipped through the revenue data of several departments and found that although the end point Chinese network is not the most profitable, it is the most stable and steadily increasing profit.

Judging from various data, more and more authors have joined the terminal Chinese network, and the entire website's library is constantly expanding.

For similar online websites, content always comes first, as long as the end Chinese website can maintain the attraction of authors and always provide competitive works, then the future development will definitely be smoother and smoother.

Pei Qian had too many things to worry about before, and felt that the end point Chinese network did not make much money, so there was no need to pay attention to it. But now that I look at it, I can't pay attention to it, and if I continue like this, I'm afraid that I will have to raise tigers.

But...... How can we curb the development of the end Chinese network?

It's a technical job, and you have to think about it in the long run.

Pei Qian couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He was thinking about it when he suddenly saw a familiar figure outside the door of the Internet café pushing the door in.

"Teacher He?" Pei Qian was a little surprised.

The person who came was none other than He An.

He An was also a little surprised when he saw Pei Qian, probably because he didn't expect to really meet by chance, so he went straight to the vacant seat opposite Pei Qian and sat down.

"Teacher He, why did you come to Jingzhou?" Pei Qian asked.

He An smiled: "I haven't had anything to do recently, come to Jingzhou for a walk and relax." ”

"By the way, Mr. Pei, your game ...... How's it going? ”

This "game" of course refers to "Mission and Choice", and the birth of this game has a deep relationship with He An.

Since He An proposed to Mr. Pei, he has always felt worried in his heart, for fear that he will really lose 500 million yuan by then, so won't he cheat Mr. Pei?

Therefore, He An has been thinking about this matter, and this time he came to Jingzhou to relax and saw Mr. Pei, of course, he wanted to ask more.

Pei Qian was silent for a moment: "Uh...... I don't know very well. ”

He An: "? ”

You don't know if it's okay?

This is a game project that burned 500 million!

The game has been in development for more than four months from the official project to the start of production, and some small projects may be almost completed by now.

"Mission and Choice" is a big production, and the development time does have to be extended, but in more than four months, how can you make a semi-finished product with Tengda's development efficiency, right?

As a result, Mr. Pei himself is not very clear?

A project with an investment of 500 million yuan has been done halfway, but the boss doesn't even bother to ask?

Can it be a little more?

Or is it ......

Mr. Pei was joking before, he felt that this project must be a blood loss, so he stopped the project after doing it for a while? Don't continue to develop?

He An looked at Pei Qian's eyes full of suspicion: "Mr. Pei, do you think that this project must be losing money, so it has not been developed at all?" ”

Pei Qian immediately shook his head: "How is that possible!" ”

"The development must be normal development, according to the schedule, it should have been more than half done, right? It's just right, why don't you go with me to have a look? ”

He An was even more confused, and he didn't understand what medicine was sold in the gourd at all.

Let's say that Mr. Pei doesn't attach importance to this project, he has invested so much money and so much manpower; Let's say that Mr. Pei attaches great importance to this project, it has been developed for four months, and he can't even ask?

Even the progress of the development has to be guessed?

It's unreasonable to think about it!

He An nodded: "Okay, I'm also very curious about the current situation of this game. ”

Pei Qian finished drinking coffee and walked with He An to the nearby Tengda Game headquarters.

This is the first time He An has come to Tengda's office area, and he is as surprised by this spacious and luxurious office area as everyone else.

He An couldn't help but sigh: "I have been working 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 the office environment was very good, but the work enthusiasm of these employees was also very high, everyone was engrossed in their work, and even when Mr. Pei arrived, no one stood up to say hello.

Only Hu Xianbin saw Mr. Pei's arrival and hurriedly stood up: "Mr. Pei! ”

Pei Qian smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just here to see how the development of "Mission and Choice" is going." ”

"This is He An of Mengguo Games, Mr. He."

Hu Xianbin showed a sudden expression: "Mr. He! You've admired your name for a long time, and you're also an old-timer in the gaming industry! Hello hello! ”

The two sides briefly exchanged two polite sentences, and Hu Xianbin began to introduce the development of the game "Mission and Choice".

At present, Tengda's game department is basically divided into two projects, some people are responsible for the development and daily operation of GOG, the person in charge is Min Jingchao, he has just returned from Los Angeles for a few days, and he is about to pack his bags and go back to Los Angeles to play; The other part is responsible for the development of "Mission and Choice", and Hu Xianbin is in charge.

"Mr. Pei, the current completion of the game is about six or seven percent, the basic gameplay and large framework of the game have been completed, and various game mechanisms have been almost completed, and the design of each level and some details of the game need to be adjusted slowly......"

Pei Qian listened carefully and nodded frequently.

He An was also listening carefully, but the expression on his face was unpredictable and a little exciting.

Because he found that Mr. Pei really didn't seem to ask about this project before?

It can be heard that the things that Hu Xianbin is reporting are relatively basic, including the development progress, preliminary preparations, gameplay settings, etc., if Mr. Pei has understood it before, then there is no need for Hu Xianbin to introduce it again.

There is no way or reason for the two of them to deceive themselves by playing a double reed here.

Could it be ...... Mr. Pei really didn't care about it after the project was established?

So confident?

Of course, He An would not think that Mr. Pei was not careful, because he felt that no one would be unconcerned about a project that invested 500 million.

So...... The only explanation is that Mr. Pei trusts his subordinates very much!

Mr. Pei believes that after he gives a design plan, even if he doesn't ask anymore, his subordinates can understand the design ideas well, complete the work satisfactorily, and finally come up with a finished product that meets their expectations.

But this raises a new question.

Mr. Pei is so confident, it must be because he put forward a very detailed and perfect design idea, which solved a series of problems that existed before "Mission and Choice".

But Mission & Choice is such a bizarre game, what kind of design approach does it have to be to make it successful?

You must know that at the beginning of the birth of this game, it was Pei Qian and He An who discussed the "most unlikely to succeed game plan at present".

Big investment, RTS games, sci-fi themes, poor balance, simple operation...... These are the "fatal flaws" put forward by He An.

He An believes that as long as Mr. Pei does what he asks, this game will never succeed.

What's more, Mr. Pei also used the name of the game and the background of the story, which was previously called "The Shame of National Travel", and even the slightest possibility of success was gone.

Now seeing Mr. Pei's confident appearance, He An is interested in this game, but he has more doubts.

After a brief introduction, Hu Xianbin said: "Mr. Pei, Mr. He, do you two want to try the DEMO of this game?" ”

Pei Qian immediately nodded: "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 okay, but the plot part is missing a lot. Because the plot is all expressed in the movie, but the movie is still being filmed, so only the pure combat part can be experienced at the moment. ”

Pei Qian nodded: "Okay, I know." ”

Then, he looked at He An: "It's better for you to try it out and give your opinions." ”

He An didn't shirk too much, sat 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.

Different chapters and levels have different plots, maps are large and small, and the troop configuration of both sides has also changed, and the overall 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 stage.

Mission & Choice uses the standard third-person perspective of a real-time strategy game, but unlike games like Star Ocean, Mission & Choice has a much higher degree of perspective freedom.

In a general real-time strategy game, you can zoom in and out of the screen, or you can lower the angle of view, but these operations are strictly limited and cannot be narrowed in indefinitely.

Because when players play this type of game, they are very busy most of the time, and they need to pay attention to all the units on the battlefield, whether it is operation or observation, they must pull the perspective to the highest.

Also, the accuracy of the model in the game itself is not that high, and the game graphics will look rough if the viewing angle is zoomed in too closely.

In terms of aesthetics and practicality, it is normal for a design to have a low degree of freedom in viewing angle adjustment.

However, Mission & Choice has a high degree of freedom of perspective, which can bring the picture closer, because the accuracy of the game, whether it is soldiers or other combat units, is higher than all the current RTS games on the market.

He An silently sighed in his heart, he did burn enough money, and he didn't have to pick this picture.

The models, movements, and details of each class are very well done, and the modeling design is also very unique, and the picture can be said to be very top-notch.

After all, after burning so much money, it has to have some effect.

The concept of the game should have been originally drawn by Ruan Guangjian's Halo Studio, and the modeling and action of the game are also responsible for the industry's first-class outsourcing company, which is absolutely impeccable in terms of art.
