Chapter 1558 The Meaning Behind The Guardian Game
After this a.n.a.lysis, everyone’s confusion turned into excitement and antic.i.p.ation.
“So Boss Pei is really far-sighted. He asked us to develop a monopoly game not because we thought about it, but because we thought about it carefully?”
On further thought, this game was indeed the most suitable for the designers of the independent game incubation base to make because it was different from ordinary AAA games.
Ordinary AAA games were mainly focused on the gameplay, plot, and game mechanism. They required the various departments to work together and achieve the best of many details. However, this game’s first navigation game was more like an independent game’s hodgepodge.
Since it had to cast multiple devices at the same time, the functions and overall graphics level it required would naturally not be too high. Otherwise, the mechanism of the main computer might not be able to hold out when it cast multiple devices at the same time.
Using various small gameplay to link the entire game together so that more people could experience the fun of this small gameplay together. This was similar to independent
games!
Every small gameplay was an idea that depended on the imagination of independent game designers.
If it was just a designer, it would be too difficult to think so much. However, if many designers worked together, and even everyone came up with a plan, they would choose the best plans. That would ensure the quality of every small game and small segment!
On top of that, there was a special meaning to getting the producers of the independent game incubation base create this game.
Everyone knew that this was Tengda Games’ first gaming console. Players would not be surprised even ifTengda Games were to personally create the in-built game. Instead, they would have high expectations for it.
However, a game console could not be sustained by just one company! The advantage of a system unit lay in the game’s ecology, in its huge and outstanding game library.
A new system unit might not have such a huge game library for the time being, but it had to create expectations for gamers: many outstanding games companies would definitely join this platform in the future. gamers could play many outstanding games on this system
es
unit.
Players’ purchasing power would be fully stimulated only by establis.h.i.+ng such expectations!
Many foreign computer manufacturers did not have many outstanding games when they released the system units. However, gamers still bought them crazily because they knew that this system unit would definitely release many outstanding games in the future.
Thus, if the producers of the independent game incubation base worked together to create such a protective game, they could convey a special concept to all players: This system unit was not only Tengda Games’ back garden, but also the shared stage of Dawn Games platform, all the game developers who worked with it, and all the producers in the independent game incubation base!
Since independent game designers could work together to develop such an outstanding Guardian game, they would naturally develop more outstanding games in the future to provide to players.
There was no need to talk about Tengda Games. It would definitely be released on this game console.
That way, gamers would have high expectations for the game console. Once that expectation was established, the sales of the system unit would not have to worry!
Wu Zhicheng said excitedly, “This project is very meaningful. I’ve decided to join!”
The other independent game designers nodded.
“We have received a lot of favors from Boss Pei. If Boss Pei and Boss Qiu had not found us and provided us with funds, we might not have been able to survive until now. We were forced by life and had no choice but to leave the game industry. Boss Pei allowed us to continue in the independent game industry and provide better works to players!” “We naturally cannot s.h.i.+rk our responsibilities now that Boss Pei needs it!”
Previously, the game designers had felt hesitant. The main reason was that everyone did not know what to do. They felt that they were not capable enough and might not be able to handle this project. In the end, they had ruined Tengda’s reputation and let Boss Pei down.
However, after this a.n.a.lysis, everyone felt that this game really belonged to everyone!
What’s more, with a clear direction, the creators’ imagination was stimulated. All sorts of game ideas surfaced in their minds. They could not wait to create these ideas!
Qiu Hong was elated. “Very good, everyone is very motivated! However, we cannot let our guard down even though Boss Pei has already given us a clear direction. We have to treat it seriously and do every detail well.”
“How about this, Xi Hao, you and Wu Zhicheng briefly organize the framework of the game and think about the background story and general style of this game.”
“After that, we will publicly ask designers for ideas in all independent game incubation bases and integrate the ideas and gameplay that we think are suitable under the large framework.”
“Once we have roughly finalized the design ma.n.u.script of the game, I will unify the development of the basic structure and the finalization of the game style. The independent game designers that we selected will be able to develop different gameplay on this framework and piece it together into a game.”
“Lastly, optimize its screen display function so that it can better adapt to the usage of this system unit!”
“If we can achieve these goals and perfectly meet Boss Pei’s requirements, I believe Boss Pei will definitely be proud of us!”
The independent game designers were very excited and even eager to try.
Most of them did not have any projects on hand for the time being and were worrying about what to do for the next independent game.
Independent games were very creative. Without suitable ideas, independent games would have no advantage.
However, Boss Pei had given them an idea. Everyone could use their abilities to their heart’s content under the framework of this idea. How could they not be excited and excited?
The designers immediately took action and began collecting materials, conceptualizing, and walking briskly in the direction that Boss Pei was looking forward to!
April 9th, Tuesday. Qiao Liang slammed the table in anger. “Why are Waiwai Live-Stream and Wolf Fang Live-Stream still working so hard? They’re not done poaching our live-streamers!”
When he held the Safe and Civilized Driving Compet.i.tion last month, Qiao Liang followed Boss Pei’s instructions and expressed to the outside world that Bunny Tail Live-Stream would not start a poaching war or restrict other platforms from live-streaming Tengda Games.
Initially, this was a magnanimous act that attracted netizens to like. However, Wolf Fang Live-Stream and Waiwai Live-Stream actually treated this as a safety statement and started to intensify the live-stream of poaching Bunny Tail!
He had just started work this week when Qiao Liang realized that the three streamers on his platform had been poached. What’s more, they were all streamers who had just made a name for themselves.
Compared to the previous frequency, it was even faster!
Qiao Liang said angrily, “These two platforms are really shameless! I really think Boss Pei is too kind to them!”.
“We should ban all Tengda Games from broadcasting when dealing with such a hooligan company. We cannot leave them any face!”
Qiao Liang did not dare to disobey Boss Pei’s orders even though he was angry.
After all, Boss Pei was the leader of Tengda. Most of the time, he made different decisions from him. Perhaps he had a deeper intention for the overall situation.
Qiao Liang calmed down a little. He felt that as one of the people in charge of Tengda Corporation, he had to seriously follow Boss Pei’s requirements and work hard to a.n.a.lyze the deeper meaning behind it. Or he could take another path and think of other solutions outside of Boss Pei’s restrictions.
Qiao Liang looked up at the work desk opposite him.
Boss Ma had not come. It seemed like the seclusion was not over.
Qiao Liang heard that Boss Ma’s graduation thesis might be handed in on the 10th. That meant that Boss Ma might come to inspect this week. He could not continue to be so deserted!
What he was doing now might be what Boss Pei wanted but Boss Ma might not think so.
In the workplace, not only did he have to meet the requirements of the big boss, but he also could not ignore the requirements of his direct boss. Otherwise, if one of his own leaders were to go against him, he would definitely not have a good ending!
Qiao Liang felt that he should do some substantial work before Boss Ma returned. Otherwise, it would be difficult to report to Boss Ma when he asked.
However, what could they do in the current situation? Many roads had been blocked by Boss Pei. They could not fight a price war with other platforms and forcefully poach live streamers who had huge default fees. They could not have any thoughts on the game and could not prohibit Tengda Games from broadcasting two live-stream platforms.
What cards could he play at the end of the day? The entire Bunny Tail Live-Stream did not have any good attack methods.
Qiao Liang switched on his computer and briefly searched for news about the live-stream platform.
He did not have much expectations. After all, these large platforms were not stupid. They should not leave any direct evidence. However, Qiao Liang’s eyes lit up when he saw
it.
He saw a news article about the live-stream platform! It was a huge breach of contract with a big broadcaster! Waiwai Live-Stream and Wolf Fang Live-Stream had been competing for a long time. Naturally, there were conflicts.
The reason for this was that a popular live-streamer jumped from Waiwai streaming platform to Wolf Fang live-stream. After jumping s.h.i.+p, he received a penalty of up to a hundred million yuan.
However, Wolf Fang Live-Stream did not intend to help him fork out this sum of money. Waiwai Live-Stream had a contract written in black and white in its hands, so it directly made a complaint and banned this big broadcaster.
Wolf Fang Live-Stream might have the idea of protecting him, but there were clear legal rules after all. They could only wait patiently for the trial to be opened. From the looks of the current situation, the possibility of Wolf Fang Live-Stream paying 100 million yuan for this streamer to breach the contract was negligible. Once the trial started, this streamer would most likely be defeated.
Thus, the broadcaster quit and began to complain to the netizens, especially encouraging his fans to put pressure on Waiwai streaming platform. However, Waiwai streaming platform would also be affected by such small scenes. They had seen many storms. What could an ordinary streamer do?
Should he encourage his fans to criticize the application? Waiwai streaming platform was not afraid of that.
Thus, according to this script, Waiwai streaming platform would probably make a hundred million yuan in the end.
The live-streamer might not have money to pay. If he had money to pay, he would pay. If he did not have money to pay, he would become a beggar. He could not continue live-streaming at Wolf Fang Live-Stream to earn money. He could only slip back to Waiwai Live-Stream to work and pay his debts.
Of course, he did not want to think that Wolf Fang Live-Stream was losing out. That was because Wolf Fang Live-Stream also had a list of live-streamers that had been poached by Waiwai Live-Stream. As long as they went to court one by one, they would be able to obtain a lot of penalty. Wouldn’t it be perfect if you sued my streamers on the two platforms and I sued your streamers to earn the penalty?
Logically speaking, this matter had nothing to do with Bunny Tail Live-Stream. That was because the contract for Bunny Tail Live-Stream did not restrict the streamer from jumping s.h.i.+p. Waiwai Live-Stream and Wolf Fang Live-Stream were accurate.
However, Qiao Liang suddenly realized that this seemed to be a good opportunity!
The poaching war between the two platforms was indeed very intense. It looked like a fight between immortals, but in fact, they were pecking at each other!
It looked like a fight between immortals because the amount of money spent to poach people was very high. Millions, tens of millions of yuan in annual salary, and tens of millions of yuan in penalty fees sounded terrifying.
In fact, it was just rookies pecking at each other because such poaching people were completely through deception! As long as streamers had some legal consciousness and studied the terms in the contract more, they would not be deceived, be sold, and still count the money for.
However, the key was that the streamers really did not have any legal consciousness!
The people from the platform had been hoodwinked into the other party’s platform without obtaining a clear, black, and white agreement. They had even wishfully thought that the other party would really solve the problem of the contract for them.
In the end, he had to bear all the penalty.
He had thought that his annual salary was very high, but when something really happened, he realized that it was not even a fraction of the penalty!
Qiao Liang suddenly thought of Lu Mingliang’s idea.
Back then, Lu Mingliang had criticized Nie Yunsheng in his live-stream. He had dug out all the information about Shengyun Corporation, causing a strong reaction from netizens.
Everyone was on Lu Mingliang’s side. It could be said that they had achieved great success in public opinion. At once, Upwind Logistics stood on the high ground and suppressed Shengyun Corporation.
Since Lu Mingliang could do it, why couldn’t Qiao Liang?
The live-stream industry also had insider information that could be dismantled!
What’s more, after Lu Mingliang conducted such a debate, Meng Chang even took the lead and created a program called “The person-in-charge said”. It was specially used to fight public opinion.
Guo Licheng produced a video about the gym model, which was equally popular. Rui Yuchen later released an a.n.a.lysis of Fish-Catching Take-Out and take-out business models, which also caused a good response.
As it turned out, the person-in-charge’s segment was indeed effective!
However, it happened to clash with the activities of the person-in-charge that Boss Pei had planned. The segment “The person-in-charge said” naturally broke off.
That was because the people in charge had already gone to the basic level to work. Those who should deliver packages, those who should be branch managers, how could they have the energy to record such programs?
What’s more, after they went down to the foundation level, they would not be the person-in-charge. They would not be in charge of the direct business of the department. They would not be able to record the person-in-charge.
Qiao Liang felt that this should be a coincidence. However, no matter what, the ‘person-in-charge said’ segment was Tengda’s key weapon in defeating public opinion. It could not be stopped like this!
He was now the person-in-charge, but he was also the person-in-charge. He could also record this program!
At that thought, Qiao Liang immediately called Meng Chang
It was a little strange to say. As the person-in-charge of the advertising and marketing department, Meng Chang did not have a lower base like the other person-in-charge. It seemed like Boss Pei had given him special permission. He did not know what special meaning there was.
The phone call was connected in no time. Qiao Liang briefly explained his thoughts to Meng Chang, hoping to record such a video and continue as the follow-up segment of the person-in-charge’s Talk. He wanted to dismantle the tricks of Waiwai Live-Stream and Wolf Fang Live-Stream, especially the strategy of poaching people. That was because most viewers and streamers had not understood the real problem of this trick up until now. Qiao Liang felt that as the subst.i.tute person-in-charge of Bunny Tail Live-Stream and the streamer of Bunny Tail Live-Stream, he had the responsibility and duty to explain it to everyone!
On the other end of the line, Meng Chang was silent for a moment before saying, “I also think that we can’t stop working on the ‘person-in-charge’ segment. At first, I was wondering if we should let the subst.i.tute person-in-charge partic.i.p.ate in the recording. Now that you’re taking the initiative to approach us, we can think of the same thing!”
“How about this? You make some preparations. I’ll make a rough video plan.”
“I don’t think we can say it drily this time because the person-in-charge’s speech alone might not be very convincing. I think we can also get a few live-streamers of Bunny Tail to talk about their personal experience. Your a.n.a.lysis would be more convincing if we combine it.”
“We’ll start recording soon and try to release the video on Thursday!” Qiao Liang nodded, completely agreeing. Of course, the sooner this video was released, the better. After all, the live-streamers might be poached by the other two platforms every day!
