Almighty Game Designer - Chapter 74
Lin Zhaoxu returned to his seat and the phone he left on top of the table is impressively showing 《I am MT》 on the screen.
A VIP12 account.
The friend icon lit up again, and Lin Zhaoxu opened and saw that it’s a new friend request, he received a large amount of friend request everyday and although Lin Zhaoxu deletes friends that have lower level every day, he still couldn’t leave enough space.
Lin Zhaoxu tapped on his phone’s screen while deep in thought.
A knock came from the door.
“Come in” Said Lin Zhaoxu.
A young man in his twenties came in, he wore a casual dressed and his hair was a bit messy, and appears to be a bit sloven.
The young man then sat down on the sofa across the desk, opened a bottle of water and drnk it without any reservation at all.
Lin Zhaoxu smiled, “So you have come.”
The young man was dissatisfied and placed his feet on the coffee table, “You called the three of us for a meeting just for a mobile game of a C-Class Game Designer, what is it for?”
Lin Zhaoxu didn’t mind the behaviour of the young man, and just smiled, “This person is not just an ordinary C-Class Game Designer, and this game is not just an ordinary mobile game.”
Lin Zhaoxu walked over and handed him the phone to the young man, “This game is only released in the offical App Store, and its first month’s turnover is 20 million, and from the number of its download, it can be estimated that its next month’s turnover will be more.”
The young man frowned, “20 million?”
Lin Zhaoxu nodded, “That’s right, and the game is free to download, and all its profit depends on value-added services.”
The young man became a bit interested and took the phone and began playing.
The young man frowned throughout the process. Obviously, it is due to 《I am MT》’s simple combat system and its graphics that made him felt like his eyes stung.
After looking at the combat system, he then focused on the VIP system and rewards, as well as the friends on the account of Lin Zhaoxu.
The young man was silent for a while, and said, “Hmm, although it feels like that the design concept is outdated, but I have to admit that its strategic layout is advance. If you think that I said something wrong, then have someone else do it.”
Lin Zhaoxu smiled and said, “The three of you have been doing VR games for too long and have neglected the mobile game.”
The young man handed the phone to Lin Zhaoxu, “Don’t expect me to do this dirty work.”
Lin Chaoxu nodded, “I gave this task to Qiu Bin, and within two months we should be able to see the result.”
The young man nodded, “Alright.”
Lin Zhaoxu asked, “Have you taken a look at ‘Azeroth Universe’?”
The young man nodded, “I saw it. I feel that Chen Mo’s ‘Azeroth Universe’’s should be for something else. After all, it has a lot more things than just it being for a mobile game and anime.”
Lin Zhaoxu said, “Erm, how is it after seeing it?”
The young man shook his head and said, “It’s useless. No need to think about it because it can’t be copied.”
Lin Zhaoxu smiled and said, “Don’t rush in denying it, you can discuss it with them more. By the way, the three of you will direct this meeting and I will not attend.”
The young man frowned slightly, “Why?”
Lin Zhaoxu smiled, “It’s now the world of you young ones. While me, I will just make a decision on critical moments. In normal times, I’m unable to keep up with your thinking and if I go, I will just limit your thinking.”
The young man stood up and said, “Alright, I understand. However, you don’t have too worry too much, there will always be these so-called ‘talented game designer’ once in a while. Therefore, there is nothing to be surprised about it.”
Lin Zhaoxu smiled, “Of course.”
The young man left the office of Lin Zhaoxu and went to the large conference room on the same floor.
The young man’s name is Qin Xiao, and he is one of the three S-Class Game Designers of Emperor Interactive Entertainment and he is also the person Lin Zhaoxu trusted the most.
Although the game designers under Emperor Interactive Entertainment are its subordinates, but they spent most of their time in their own experience shop or studio, and they generally do not come to the company’s headquarters, unless they encountered some special circumstances, such as needing to report their work or having an important meetings.
And this meeting was initiated by Lin Zhaozu, and he hoped that the three S-Class Game Designers can work with a few A-Class Game Designers to study the game, 《I am MT》, and the world view hidden under its anime and the Azeroth Universe.
After all, Emperor Interactive Entertainment had suffered a loss due to this game, and it is impossible for them not to sum up this experience and lessons at all.
Qin Xiao entered the meeting room, and the others have almost arrived.
There are three main seats on the conference table, which are Qin Xiao on the left, a man in his thirties in the middle, and a 27-year-old beauty on the right.
Yan Zhenyuan, Qiu Jiang.
These three are S-Class Game Designer, who are also under the banner of Emperor Interactive Entertainment. They usually could only meet each other a few times a year, and only on such special occasion can they attend at the same time.
Around the conference table, there are more than 10 A-Class Game Designers, all of whom are sitting in all seriousness.
Qin Xiao leaned back on his seat and turned a half circle and placed his feet on the conference table out of habit, “Alright, Lin Zhaoxu won’t come. Therefore, let’s start the meeting.”
Yan Zhenyuan felt a slight helplessness, “He is not coming again, this sly old man. Every time he encounters this kind of stuff, he will just push it to the three of us.”
Qiu Jiang put out her cigarette in the ashtray, “This is not the first time. I won’t participate, so you can start talking about it.”
Yan Zhenyuan looked at Qin Xiao, who is currently playing with his phone on the left, and at Qiu Jiang on the right, who is currently holding a mirror and a make up. He started having a headache.
“Alright, let’s start.”
Yan Zhenyuan arranged the report materials on the table, which were prepared by his assistant in advanced. The above are the analysis of the anime of 《I am MT》, its mobile game, and some contents of the Azeroth Universe.
“The content of this meeting is very simple. There are three issues that needs to be discussed.”
“The first issue is whether the successful model of the mobile game of 《I am MT》 can be replicated”
“The second issue, why did Chen Mo make the ‘Azeroth Universe’ and did he create such a huge worldview just for the anime of 《I am MT》?”
“The third issue is whether we can find something that we can use.”
“For the first issue, President Lin has arranged someone to verify it, and I also think that the successful model of 《I am MT》 can be replicated. Therefore, there is no need to discuss it.”
“We will mainly discuss about the latter two issues, it is also the problems that we haven’t thought clearly, it is about the ‘Azeroth Universe’.”
“Alright, you are all free to start speaking.”
Yan Zhenyuan finished and looked at the other A-Class Game Designers.
The A-Class Game Designers started looking at each other, and they had basically made some preparations, but they felt a bit pressure to speak in front of the three S-Class Game Designers.
Finally, a 30 year old game designer cleared his throat and said, “Let me speak about it first.”
Yan Zhenyuan nodded, indicating that he could speak.
This game designer, Tang Dagang, is also a senior game designer of Emperor Interactive Entertainment. However, his thinking is rigid and he doesn’t have many brilliant works, and he also belongs to the kind of game designers that often does the “dirty work” of Emperor Interactive Entertainment.
Tang Dagang said, “I think Chen Mo has released the ‘Azeroth Universe’ for two purposes. First, it is a trick to build the momentum for the mobile game of 《I am MT》. Second, he his ambitious to turn this into a super IP to prepare for future games.”
Yan Zhenyuan nodded, “You can talk about it in more detail.”
