Chapter 509: The prototype is out
Translator: 549690339
Feng yingwan felt that things weren’t good. Chen Mo didn’t seem to be following the rules at all.
If this continued, not to mention not being able to obtain any information, even his ident.i.ty might be exposed.
Just then, the elevator door opened and a young man walked out.
“Manager,” Qian Kun said to Chen Mo,”we’ve been talking about creating a new hero for Overwatch. We don’t have enough people right now. What do you think …”
“Oh.” Chen Mo thought for a moment,”then we can put the Overwatch on hold and make a new game first.”
Qian Kun was a little hesitant,”also, there are players on the internet urging us to release the ranking compet.i.tion mode. What do you think …”
Chen Mo said,”let’s focus on the new game first. It’s an important part of the game’s layout and has the highest priority.”As for Overwatch, there were no strong games to compete with for the time being, so he did not have to worry too much. The other companies ‘games won’t be released until at least two months later, so it won’t be too late for us to start the qualifying mode then. ”
Qian Kun nodded.”Alright, manager. We’ll get back to the new game.”
The two of them didn’t speak in detail, but Feng yingwan could still hear some clues from it.
Chen Mo was busy with the new game and had put the development of Overwatch on hold.
Indeed, this explained why Chen Mo still hadn’t released the ranked mode for Overwatch.
It was because he felt that it would take at least two months for the other companies to develop a game similar to Overwatch, so he was not in a hurry.
Moreover, it seemed like Chen Mo placed a lot of importance on this phone and the games that came with it, which was why he put all his energy into it and didn’t place much importance on Overwatch.
“That’s right, this is very useful information. Chen Mo doesn’t know the actual speed of our development, he’s only estimating it based on normal speed.”
Feng yingwan was extremely excited in her heart, but on the surface, she still pretended to be completely uninterested, as if she was really a player who had nothing to do with it.
After chatting with Chen Mo for a while, Feng yingwan realized that she couldn’t get any useful information out of him.
It wasn’t that Feng yingwan didn’t want to ask Chen Mo about the Overwatch, but Chen Mo was very cautious and would always change the topic whenever it came to the topic.
Also, Feng yingwan didn’t dare to ask too deliberately. If Chen Zhao found something and suspected her, it would be bad.
After chatting for a while, Feng yingwan pretended to be an ordinary game enthusiast and went to the PC experience area to play League of Legends for a few rounds before leaving the experience store.
Although the harvest of this spying trip was not big, they had collected some useful information.
Feng yingwan truthfully reported this information to Jin jieguang.
There were two main pieces of information. One was that Chen Mo placed a lot of importance on the new handheld game and game, even transferring the people in charge of developing the later versions of League of Legends and Overwatch to take part in the development of the new game. This caused the update speed of the other two games to slow down.
The second was that Chen Mo estimated that other video game companies would take at least two months to complete their Overwatch. Therefore, during this period of time, he was not in a hurry to update the content of the Overwatch or go online for ranking matches.
Jin jieguang carefully judged the authenticity of the two messages. The final conclusion was that it was highly credible.
Everyone knew how much Chen Mo valued mobile phones. This time, it could be said that he was challenging everyone’s common sense and had obviously received a lot of criticism.
A person like Chen Mo who loved face slapping wouldn’t be able to stand being slapped in the face by others, so it was normal for him to put in a lot of effort into making this phone and the game that came with it.
On the contrary, it would be a problem if Chen Mo wasn’t interested in the phone.
As for Overwatch, it was still considered a pioneer in the related field and was still in the stage of expansion. Other game companies were also trying to make games similar to Overwatch, but their progress was not as fast.
Chen Mo’s estimate of the time was completely accurate, but Emperor dynasty entertainment was different.
Emperor dynasty entertainment already had a solid foundation. They had the leftover materials from the fps game Wolf Soul and the MOBA game ancient catastrophe. Many of these were ready-made. In addition, Lin chaoxu placed a lot of importance on this project and allocated a lot of manpower and resources to it, so the development was very fast.
In other words, Chen Mo had originally estimated that these new games would only be released in two months, but in reality, gunfire could release a ranked version in five weeks.
Jin jieguang felt that it was a great opportunity for Chen Mo to release the ranking tournament before Overwatch, but Chen Mo didn’t seem to realize it.
After receiving this information, Jin jieguang felt more at ease. Gunfire history had entered the final stage of development and fine tuning. Whether or not the humiliation of ancient catastrophe could be washed away depended on this one move!
……
Zhou Jiangping’s office.
Chen Zhao sat on the sofa. A staff member placed a white box in front of him.
“Mr. Chen,” Zhou Jiangping said,”open it and try. See if there’s any difference from what you’ve expected.”
The first Switch prototype had been produced, and it had gone through many adjustments. Many of the technologies were completely different from the ones Chen Mo used in his previous life.
However, from the outside, it didn’t look too different from the Swtich from Chen Mo’s previous life. After all, it was made according to Chen Mo’s drawings.
It looked lighter than the Switch in his previous life, with a smaller frame, and a stronger back and screen. It was estimated that the drop resistance performance was also very good.
The size was the same as the Switch in his previous life, but because the black edges of the screen were smaller, the screen was actually slightly larger than the Switch screen in his previous life.
Zhou Jiangping handed the card to Chen Mo with a complicated expression.””It is indeed very bitter …”
“Huh?” Chen Mo was amused.”You really licked it?”
Zhou Jiangping didn’t say anything. His pained expression had already proven everything …
“That’s a boss indeed,” Chen Mo said emotionally.”He can do what others can ‘T. I’m impressed.”
Zhou Jiangping felt that Chen Mo’s words seemed to have an unspoken meaning, so he asked,””President Chen, did you lick it too?”
“No, I’m not stupid.” Chen Mo laughed.
Zhou Jiangping was speechless.
These cartridges were also custom-made, and there was a special machine that could write game content into them. This card contained a demo of “super Mali Odyssey.” There was only one scene to test the operation of the game.
Chen Mo removed the left and right controllers from the Switch and started the game to try it out.
It was mainly to test out various operations, including jumping, flinging the hat, adjusting the angle of view, and so on. Apart from that, Chen Mo checked the vibration and body sensitivity of the game controller, and concluded that it could meet the requirements of the game.
After all, this machine was checked by Zhou Jiangping and Lehui’s related technical personnel, so there would definitely be no problems with the quality.
Zhou Jiangping couldn’t possibly use a completely underrated handheld device to fool Chen Mo.
Chen Mo played for a bit more and tried out some basic controls, then nodded in satisfaction.
However, he also gave a few suggestions for improvement and hoped that Zhou Jiangping could further optimize the machine in the future.
“By the way,” Chen Mo asked,”director Zhou, about the follow-up proposal I told you about last time, are there any technical problems?”
