Chapter 172: Has the studio closed down? (Update 1)
The icon of this game has a white background with a black text: "Word."
"Word" is the name of this game.
Although it seems simple, this website is a platform for the competition to be displayed to the outside world. If the game does not have enough highlights, it will not be released.
The requirement for the competition is that there are highlights, but completion is also a required part. Unless some aspects of the game are particularly eye-catching, they will not be displayed here.
The icon of this game looks very simple. There is no vertical illustration in the game introduction. Even the introduction only has one sentence: "The world of words". It makes people seem to see a cold game producer silently giving away the game. Come up.
Clicking on the game, Qiu Yu saw that the screen went black, the title of the game appeared, and huge text "characters" appeared, and then got bigger and bigger.
This huge "word" actually contained a large number of other words. These small words were then shattered and scattered like raindrops, leaving only a "one" on the screen.
The visual effects shown at the beginning are quite shocking. Although it is just a bunch of ordinary words, Qiu Yu can feel a blooming self-awareness coming towards him. The author of the game changed from his previous aloofness and fully expressed his ideas, which brought a strong impact.
At this point, the game really begins.
Looking at the flashing "one", Qiu Yu dragged the text and saw that "one" began to be dragged out continuously, and then copied itself.
Later, when ten "ones" appeared, these ten "ones" suddenly combined with each other and turned into a new word "ten".
Seeing this scene, Qiu Yu murmured to himself: "Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things."
Trying to drag the previous one in different ways, Qiu Yu found that through different dragging methods, In fact, different Chinese character numbers can be combined.
And this is just the beginning.
Taking apart the ten, the original ten was directly split into "one" and "丨". The appearance of new strokes allowed him to combine more words and further expanded the words that could be combined.
And in the middle period, nouns appeared.
"Wood", "you" and "inch" can be turned into trees. After cutting down the tree, "leaves", "branches" and "roots" can be obtained. A slight combination of "leaves" becomes "sun", and the appearance of "sun" makes This black world is full of light, and "day" and "night" are born. As he
continues to try, Qiu Yu finds that he has combined more and more nouns. Although some nouns have no practical use, words with practical use are It changes its shape through deformation and other methods, so that it appears to form a mirroring relationship with its corresponding noun.
Two hours later, the whole world finally shined brightly. Mountains, rivers, sun, moon and stars, all kinds of common things in daily life, were restored one by one in the game, allowing Qiu Yu to feel the novelty while also gaining some insights.
Alan and the others will never be able to play this game.
This is a very personal game, and it is also a game that fully demonstrates your own personality. The gameplay of the game and the artistic conception of the text itself are integrated with each other, and finally a game that only Chinese people can understand is born.
The Taoist thought contained in it is also quite reasonable. It is not forcefully instilled, but through the combination of words one by one, it finally brings a mysterious and indescribable wonderful atmosphere.
Once most of the nouns are combined, the game is over.
After the game was over, Qiu Yu leaned on his chair and began to reflect on the feelings brought by this game.
Although many places are still a bit rough, the artistic conception of the entire game has been achieved, and the gameplay is complete. It is a very outstanding game.
The author of the game should be a producer who has a lot of research on gameplay. From the perspective of the overall game, he is slightly better, but from the perspective of gameplay, the other party should be much better than him.
After some comparison, Qiu Yu found that except for the game between him and this author, the other games were basically not interesting. The final first or second place should be between him and the other party.
After playing the game "Zi", Qiu Yu also had some new inspirations.
After closing the game and opening the document, he opened his own game and looked at it again.
"Flying Sword" is the game he made this time, but it is not the game he wants to play the most.
According to his idea, after he established his studio, he would use Feijianwen as his stepping stone to make his studio famous.
But what he really wanted to do was another one.
It was a game he had wanted to make when he was in college. The gameplay was relatively simple, and there was a krypton gold component, but not much. The main payment direction was content payment. Players could obtain materials through the game, and they could also use krypton gold to purchase resources.
Although the gameplay is simple, it has a high depth. The payment depth is not large but it can guarantee a monthly retention of about 10%. This also satisfies his desire for a game to be operated in the long term.
In the past, this kind of game was not very realistic, because the monthly retention figure of 10% was very scary, and it was basically considered a hit. The monthly retention of normal games was only 3% to 5%.
His career plan has been arranged, and now everything is ready, all he needs is the east wind. As long as he gets the top three, he will be eligible to form his own team and start his own journey.
However, will it really go so smoothly?
Qiu Yu felt that his temples were beating hard, and he always felt a little uneasy.
And this premonition turned into reality three days later.
The results of the competition will appear on this day, but Tianyi will communicate with the individual in advance to check the situation and then make a decision.
Qiu Yu's "Flying Sword" won the first place by a narrow margin, while "Zi" won the second place.
The third place is an unknown in-company planner. The things he makes are quite satisfactory, but he is quite insightful in terms of numerical values.
The audition part of this competition is selected by various producers, while the finals are decided jointly by players and judges. The authority of the game is guaranteed.
However, the day before receiving the award, a problem really arose.
That afternoon, Zhang Ping specially called Qiu Yu to the office, and then said to Qiu Yu: "I'm going to the headquarters."
Qiu Yu looked at Zhang Ping in confusion, wondering why the other party specifically asked him to talk about this matter.
"You previously cooperated in the localization of "Magic Dynasty" and later participated in a competition and won a prize. Logically speaking, you should be assigned to a production team. However, the head office suddenly transferred me back. These promises should not be made by the new branch president. Admit it, I can only tell you in advance."
After understanding, Qiu Yu felt a huge sense of loss.
It was like a last-minute kick, and I was just waiting for cheers. Unexpectedly, the referee suddenly called the ball offside. You can imagine the feeling of disappointment in the middle.
Although his heart was full of regrets, Qiu Yu quickly cheered up and said with a smile: "It's okay, is there anything else?"
"I'm going to fire you."
"What?"
"Increase your salary before you are fired, so that you can get half a year's compensation, which is about 180,000 yuan. I am personally going to fund part of your start-up capital. Kongkong has also contacted me and expressed his willingness to invest in you. In addition, the competition Bonuses, project completion bonuses, etc. should be enough for you to open a personal studio."
Seeing Qiu Yu want to speak, Zhang Ping suppressed it, and then said: "I chatted with Huang Ping two days ago, and the other party's recent situation made me sad. I feel deeply. Big companies have the security of big companies, but now is a turbulent era in the gaming industry, and small studios are better off transforming. You have learned enough at Tianyi during this period, it is time to go out and have a try "And I have long seen that you are a rebellious boy and you definitely have your own ideas, don't you?"
Thinking of his true purpose, Qiu Yu smiled.
Zhang Ping also read Qiu Yu's meaning, waved his hand and said: "Okay, I know you have your own ideas. Let me ask you, are you willing? If not, no one can say anything about what is going on here today. If you are willing, If you do, I will give you a salary increase."
"Can I go back and think about it?"
Zhang Ping looked at Qiu Yu and said helplessly: "You have already thought about it, why do you have to deal with me? Tell me quickly!"
" Then... thank you, Mr. Zhang, for taking care of you during this time."
"Don't thank me, thank you Kong Kong. I didn't take care of you too much. Okay, get ready to hand over."
Just when Qiu Yu was about to leave, he suddenly Thinking of something, he looked at Zhang Ping and asked, "Mr. Zhang, will the second place accept the award?" "Why are you asking?" "I
always feel that he won't come."
"Indeed, the other party did not agree." Zhang Ping Rubbing his temples, he said, "The other party only left a phone number. After calling and telling him about the award, the other party just said 'I know' and then hung up. Since the other party did not want to accept the award, the third place will be postponed. If you get to second place, the people behind you will take the place."
"That's it, it's a pity. By the way, one last question, who recommended my game?" "
Same as "Zi", it was recommended by Fang Cheng and the others. Their vision is really good, and the games they recommend are all very bright. I can only say that an excellent team has a good vision."
"Indeed."
Zhang Ping was very fast, and Qiu Yu was fired just after raising his salary.
Six months' salary will arrive on the next pay day. The compensation of 180,000 yuan, together with Qiu Yu's previous accumulation, should be able to make a demo.
Other colleagues were in disbelief at the news of Qiu Yu's dismissal.
After all, his ideas have always been good, and the mini-games he handled are very popular. It is hard to imagine that a talent like him would be fired.
And besides him, some of the previous active and ideal planners were also fired one by one.
The specific inside story is unknown, but everyone is guessing whether they offended Zhang Ping and ended up like this.
Because of this incident, Zhang Ping's reputation began to decline, but Zhang Ping, who was already going to the headquarters, didn't care.
Holding his luggage, Qiu Yu left Tianyi.
Since joining Tianyi, he got off work at 5pm for the first time, and he was still a little uncomfortable seeing the sunshine outside.
Suddenly, the phone rang. It was Alan's.
After answering the phone, Qiu Yu heard the other party say in broken Chinese: "You resigned?" "
So."
"But you..."
"It is indeed a bit wrong to resign just after winning. But this is the path I chose. You don't have to worry about it. What about you, when are you going to go back to Gaul?"
"...Look at the back."
Qiu Yu turned her head in confusion and found Alan, a handsome blond guy, squatting not far behind.
Seeing Qiu Yu turning his head, he raised the shopping bag in his hand and said to Qiu Yu: "I bought wine. Let's get drunk tonight and celebrate your first step in your dream." "You
won't go to work tomorrow . ?"
"Work has come to an end for the time being, and I have taken annual leave. The others have gone back to be with their wives. I have nothing to do, so I will come to accompany you."
Qiu Yu took a step back: "You can't be..."
"I'm not from Britain! "
That's okay."
After breathing a sigh of relief, Qiu Yu walked with the other party, and then saw a few people walking out of the building opposite.
The young man at the head was very eye-catching, making Alan beside him look like an ordinary person.
Seeing the other party, Alan exclaimed in surprise, and then asked: "That person... must be Fang Cheng, right?"
"Yeah."
"Want to say hello?"
"No, we don't know each other."
Qiu Yu He turned around and wanted to leave, but when he passed by Fang Cheng, Fang Cheng suddenly stopped, looked at Qiu Yu and asked, "Are you Qiu Yu, the author of "Flying Sword Question"?"
Qiu Yu's steps were fierce. Stopped.
He felt his heart beating too fast, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "It's me." "
I'm Fang Cheng from Fang Cheng Studio. I like your game very much and I can feel the very good gameplay in it."
" ...Thank you."
"You're welcome, goodbye."
After saying that, Fang Cheng left directly without stopping.
He didn't have many thoughts, he just saw Qiu Yu by chance and wanted to tell him how he felt.
Qiu Yu also turned around and continued walking, and then heard Alan saying from the side: "I thought you would recommend yourself and try to join Fangcheng Studio." "
No, I don't have that idea."
"Hey, aren't you very good at it? Do you like the other party's game?"
Qiu Yu showed a relaxed smile: "Yes, so I want to be a good opponent."
Looking at Qiu Yu, Alan didn't quite understand the other party's thoughts, but decided to respect the other party's choice.
Raising the wine and ingredients in his hands, he said excitedly: "Don't worry about anything else, let's have a good meal together. I'll show you tonight what authentic Gallic cuisine is."
Before eating, Qiu Jade said she was looking forward to it.
But after eating, Qiu Yu said, you should cook something unauthentic for me.
Who said Gallic food is delicious?
Just as Qiu Yu was striding forward towards her dream, there were also people who, for the sake of their dreams and survival, mustered up the courage to come downstairs to Fangcheng Studio with their resumes and works.
After taking a few deep breaths, he stood downstairs at Fangcheng Studio, took a deep breath, and then slowly moved into the building and began to advance towards the third floor.
As she walked, she murmured to herself: "Lin Nan, it's okay, you can do it. Your work is already worthy of second place, and you can apply for the job successfully." By
constantly cheering herself up, she finally overcome Feeling the urge to escape, he stepped onto the last step.
Then he saw that the company's door was closed, and there was no one inside. Only a calico cat raised its head and looked outside warily.
After looking at each other for a while, Lin Nan lowered his head and entered text in the search bar of his mobile phone: "Has Fangcheng Studio closed down?"
After all, how could a game company get off work before nine o'clock?
