Chapter 166: Bad reviews are a big stage, come if there is work!
After the two of them went out,
Lu Ming looked at their backs, thoughtful.
The future of Jingyue may gradually emerge from this group of young people who are neither crazy nor stupid but have brilliant imaginations.
Every stroke, every punch, every palm, every set of unguarded and wonderful ideas.
"A small investment can also be exchanged for a lot of criticism..."
He whispered to himself, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Turning to look at Lao Zhou, he sighed:
"Old Zhou, you really teach well."
"This negative review training class was really not in vain."
“Neither of these projects is a template.”
“I really have an idea.”
“People can’t just talk about feelings, they also have to look at the output.”
"Your training class just started, and you already have two projects. One is innovative, the other is explosive and violent. Both can be used to fight, roll, and create a lot of discussion."
“I feel great!”
Zhou Yizhou couldn't help laughing.
"Mr. Lu, I also think that these two are really promising."
“Most importantly, it’s easy to do.”
"Look at Acong's "Who Owes Whom?", which mainly focuses on social structure, human relationship design, and plot triggering system. Our tool chain at Jingyue is already very complete.
Moreover, the project teams of "More Than Just Sunny Days" and "Time Journey" have a lot of advanced experience that can be applied here!
Whether it is the NPC's logical feedback, intelligent dialogue, or communication, there is no problem!
As long as he gets a few people to help him apply the template and build the system framework, he will probably be able to produce a prototype soon."
"Even though Firecracker's 'Hong Huang Bu Xiang Fang' is a 3D fighting game, as long as the combat, special effects, and art and action resources are refined, it will definitely be a hit."
"This type of project doesn't require a complex plot or an open world, so the development speed is very fast."
"It's just that the special effects are a bit more troublesome. I estimate that it will take at most a month for these two projects to be up and running."
Lu Ming nodded without saying anything, but tapped the table with his fingers and his eyes became more determined.
The game project is like this, one link after another!
The better you lead the team, the better they will fight!
With the current technical level of Jingyue’s game team, it is definitely in the first tier!
“Yes, very good!”
"This shows that our negative review training class has begun to show results! We need to make it more popular in the future!"
"This is a big stage for bad reviews. Come if there's work! Once this is over, it's time to expand our training classes!"
"As for these two new projects, as you said, we'll mobilize resources from the entire company to help."
“Although it’s a small project, we must do it seriously!”
"Anyway, I have the money ready, it depends on how you adjust it."
"Give them some more people! Forget about the payback period, focus on the content density first! They're all new, it's not going to be easy!"
Zhou Yizhou nodded in agreement and said softly:
"Okay, Mr. Lu, I'll arrange it right away."
Soon, Jingyue’s internal project was officially completed.
Two game studios have been established.
The art team was transferred from the "氪命修仙" team, and the test team was borrowed from the "时间苦旅" team to fill in the position.
The data system is led by Zhao Qiliang, and the copywriting script is supported by the copywriting team of "More Than Sunny Days".
Two project teams officially started!
…
Time flies, and it is late March.
The wind in Shanghai carries the moisture of spring, and the sun appears and disappears from time to time.
Lu Ming sat in his office, feeling relaxed and happy. Just a few days ago, his house was officially sold.
Although the 50 million has not yet arrived, the sales speed is already very fast.
There are still many rich people in Shanghai!
Now, there is no need to worry about the initial funding for "Misguided Path to the Wilderness".
Moreover, Lu Ming also took out two million from his own account and invested them in Liang Cong and Firecracker's projects respectively.
But what Lu Ming didn't expect was that the cost of these two games was consumed very quickly.
Two million is not enough!
The development costs of these two games completely exceeded expectations!
A game's special effects are too expensive!
A game of intelligent dialogue, logic-driven training is too expensive!
If it weren’t for the experience of the previous games, this game would have been difficult to launch!
But there is no way, the money still has to be spent!
I have already promised them!
Otherwise, what will other people think of the training class if you give bad reviews in the future?
Even if it costs a thousand gold to buy horse bones, the money must be spent.
What's more, Lu Ming really thinks these two games have great potential!
Therefore, after detailed calculations, Lu Ming put the 30 million he could directly use into these two games!
Lu Ming originally planned to keep this money for "Mistakenly in the Wilderness"!
But there is no way now. Things have come to this point and I have to spend the money!
A few minutes later, Zhou Yizhou walked into Lu Ming's office and handed him the latest report.
On the "Misguided Path" side, the early basic framework has begun to be built.
The combat system, destiny system, heavenly variables, logic of the path, map compression circle... are all under intensive development.
Many project teams have also added a lot of people.
The entire Whale Leap team now has a lot more people than before!
The office is almost not enough again!
In the office, Zhou Yizhou looked at Lu Ming and spoke again.
"Mr. Lu, the first prototype of 'Who Owes Whom' and 'Primordial Undefended' has been almost completed."
"The original artwork has already been sketched out, and I'm personally overseeing the system logic."
"The technical team has reported that the structures of the two projects are not complicated, but there may be a slight delay in the special effects resources."
"The main reason is that we are indeed short on game special effects, and we wasted a lot of time here."
“Everything else is planned.”
"That's good!"
Lu Ming nodded and continued to ask,
"What about Beishan?"
"We've been working on 'Misguided Adventures' for so long, and we've done some promotions, they can't be unaware of it, right?"
Zhou Yizhou shook his head:
"I know for sure, but there is no obvious reaction at the moment."
"But I heard from people in the industry that the new project in Beishan is still going online as normal, and the promotional materials are still being prepared."
"At the moment they seem... quite calm."
"Maybe in their eyes, we are not a threat!"
Lu Ming nodded.
What Lao Zhou said is actually correct!
Beishan has spent so many resources and invested so much money,
I've just started here.
What threat could that pose?
…
at the same time,
In the activity room of Liaodong University Animation Club,
The heater was gurgling, the snow outside the window had not melted yet, and spring was still on the way for the entire Liaodong University.
Vice President Tao Siying was looking through her own hand-drawn comics.
While discussing the update rhythm with President Yang Lingling.
"Sister Ling, I want to break down the storyboards for this episode of 'I Open a Supermarket in Snow Ridge, and All the Customers Are Monsters' even more."
"The 'Ula Grass Rampage Mode' in episode five is too fast. The pacing needs to be slowed down to build up the atmosphere before the supermarket opens. That way, the 'monsters rushing in to grab the ginseng' will make sense."
Yang Lingling was leaning on the soft sofa, peeling an orange while listening to her talk.
"That's the Changbai Mountain Demon King! A demonized Ula grass is trying to steal the ginseng. Why can't it just fly over the eaves and walls and break in?"
"You have to think about it. We're drawing light fantasy and light comedy comics, not trying to immerse ourselves in orthodox plots."
"Nowadays, the main attraction is outrageousness, regional flavor, and a mouthful of satisfaction! If you slow down the pace, the audience will easily lose interest!"
Tao Siying took the orange slice, took a small bite, chewed it for a while, and nodded:
"Sister Ling, you make sense."
"When I was painting, I was always worried that the pace was too fast..."
Yang Lingling glared at her: "Siying, don't be quick!"
“I love these things you drew!”
Tao Siying grinned, her eyes narrowed.
She really likes drawing these interesting things.
Especially those things that have both "middle school second year" and "hometown flavor".
In the comics she created this time, the protagonist is a socially anxious graduate who travels through a parallel world via a dump truck.
Once you travel through time, you will become a working ox and horse in the "Snow Ridge Spiritual Supermarket".
All day long I have to deal with all kinds of monster customers from Changbai Mountain:
The white-haired snow fox came to steal ginseng, the mountain ghost came to collect debts at night, and the immortal from Laoshan came to demand goods.
How down to earth!
"Sister Ling, how about... we really send it out?"
Tao Siying asked in a low voice.
"I've already finished the eighth chapter of my draft, and the story of 'The Case of the Root-Cutting of Changbai Ginseng' is almost finished."
Yang Lingling glanced at the draft on the table with a serious look:
"Send it! Must send it!"
"Our Liaoning University Animation Club is no longer the small club with a dozen members just hanging out together!"
"We are now one of the top ten 2D student clubs in the country!"
“It’s also the largest club in Liaoning University!”
"We should also produce some works!"
"I feel like now is the perfect time for your comic to come out. Publish it sooner rather than later and it'll take off easily."
Tao Siying smiled embarrassedly, but the pride in her eyes could not be hidden.
"Sister Ling, where do you think I can post this topic? The Yinlang section is too crowded, no one reads Weibo, no one clicks on the text account, and the forums are full of swearing..."
Yang Lingling shook her hair and spoke directly:
"Send it to the Deep Blue Platform!"
"ah?"
Tao Siying was stunned.
"Have you forgotten? Didn't the Deep Blue Platform just recently launch a 'Player-Made Comics Zone'? They even have a story workshop open, and didn't we even discuss the submission activity?"
Tao Siying was surprised:
"Can that person also publish 2D comics?"
"nonsense!"
Yang Lingling's voice kept rising.
"The platform is now focusing on interaction and co-creation, and it needs creative and imaginative comics like ours!
Look at the fan section for "More Than Sunny Days" over there, it's almost been flooded with the Junior Brother and the arrogant CEO. They're in dire need of some fresh blood like us!"
Tao Siying's head was buzzing.
She knew about the Deep Blue platform, but she didn't expect that this animation section has become so popular.
"And did you notice?"
"Behind the Deep Blue Platform is Whale Leap Games! You know that Mr. Lu, right? He's the soul of our 2D world. Games like 'Time Journey,' 'Kryptonian Cultivation,' and 'Out of Control Rhythm' are all from him."
"Big platform, reliable!"
