Game production: I really have landed

Chapter 22 Mediocre!

"This is impossible! How could I lose..."

The devil looked at the brave sword passing through his chest, his eyes were full of unwillingness,

But following the final roar of the young warrior with gorgeous blond hair in front of him, in a holy golden beam of light, the Demon King was completely reduced to ashes.

The brave once again defeated the devil and restored peace to the entire continent...

The CG is slowly disappearing on the computer screen, and the story of "Legend of the Demon World 2" has come to an end here.

All the personnel present who participated in the security test stood up from their seats and clapped their hands vigorously.

"Congratulations, Old Tang."

"Congratulations, Director Tang."

All kinds of compliments spewed out from these insiders and professional players who participated in the confidential beta, as if the success of "Legend of the Demon World 2" was already a certainty.

Tang Yunpeng also smiled in the same way, immersed in the joy of project completion just like everyone else.

But when he sent everyone away, the original smile on his face gradually calmed down.

Looking around, Tang Yunpeng was also a friend who participated in this confidential internal test and was left behind by him in advance, and asked bluntly:
"Old Lu, what do you think of "Legend of the Demon World 2"?"

Lu Maru turned his head to look at Tang Yunpeng, and smiled slightly:
"Everyone is boasting."

"Our friendship, is it interesting for you to play sloppy with me here?" Tang Yunpeng was a little upset, and kicked on the pulley chair that Lu Maru was sitting on.

Lu Maru hooked the table with one hand so as not to let himself be kicked too far, raised his head and said:

"You know what's on your mind and still ask me?
Old Tang, what did you do, you skipped tickets for a month and a half, and you made such a pile of shit?

Who are you fooling with this?Seriously, if I hadn't taken the money, I would have to turn into a land key fairy when I go back today! "

"How did you speak?"

In addition to Tang Yunpeng, Lu Maru, and other developers of the "Legend of the Demon World 2" team were left behind.

How can I say that this project is also a painstaking effort that took them almost a year to come up with, and some people were sent to the hospital because of this project.

It was clear that everyone was all boasting just now, but how could it become worthless in this person's mouth.

And scolding so badly.

"Just listen!" Tang Yunpeng gave his subordinates a hard look, and by the way, glanced around the audience.

Seeing that everyone else shut their mouths, he looked at his old friend with a wry smile:

"Is it really that bad?"

Although being scolded was bloody, Tang Yunpeng didn't show any anger on his face. It was because the two were friends that Lu Maru could tell the truth.

"Of course it's not bad." Lu Maru shook his head, his tone full of gunpowder.

"After all, you are the one doing the work, and the whole game is top-notch in terms of plot, action system, art, and music.

but……"

Tang Yunpeng breathed and frowned, knowing that the big one was coming.

"But are you a little innovative?"

Lu Maru frowned, looked at Tang Yunpeng in front of him and asked:
"You know what it's like for me to play this game all the way down?

In the first half an hour, I was quite excited. I felt that you were paying tribute to the previous game and taking care of us old players who like the legend of the devil world.

When I played for an hour, I started to get a little bored. I could see through all the secret rooms at a glance, and I could figure out the action patterns of the monsters I encountered within 2 minutes.

When I played for two hours, I really wanted to slam the controller to strike.

The more I played backwards, the more angry I became, and I wished I could just pull you over and let you try for yourself what a mess you made. "

Lu Maru stared into Tang Yunpeng's eyes and asked disappointedly:

"Are you "Legend of the Demon World 2"? Don't you just put "Legend of the Demon World" on a skin and then sell it?
If this is the case, why don't you just call this game "Legend of Demon World Remastered Edition" instead of "Legend of Demon World 2", Old Tang. "

Tang Yunpeng was a little speechless by Lu Maru's words.

Doesn't he want to innovate?As a developer who already enjoys a high reputation in the industry, challenging his own upper limit is what he should do.

But no way.

Due to the collapse of the mobile game market, the entire Tianxing Company urgently needs a game to boost market confidence and preserve its stock price.

If the first version of "Legend of the Demon World 2" is still somewhat innovative, then with the appearance of the first major BUG, ​​Tang Yunpeng had to give up the first version and directly cover it after the ticket bounced.

Only in this way is the safest realization mode.

"Old Tang, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Lu Maru looked at the speechless Tang Yunpeng, shook his head and said with a bit of hatred,
"If you don't talk about the ip of "Legend of the Demon World", this game is enough to be called an excellent work. Once this game is released, Tianxing's publicity is overwhelming, and you can definitely earn money.

However, the ones you offend will be all the old players of "Legend of the Demon World". "

Lu Maru laughed at himself:
"Of course, there are not many old players like us.

After all, the younger generation is the main force of consumption. Our group can't provide much sales, and we are nothing in the eyes of capital.

But Old Tang, by then, your reputation will be rotten.

You think about it. "

After leaving these words, Lu Maru didn't stay longer, patted Tang Yunpeng on the shoulder, and he left without looking back.

Looking at the back of Lu Maru going away, Tang Yunpeng shook his head with a look of disappointment.

As the veteran of Tianxing, he also owns a certain amount of shares in Tianxing, and has a relationship with the company that both prospers and loses.

Right now, protecting the interests of the company is what a qualified adult should do. As for reputation...

Ha ha.

Just when Tang Yunpeng was about to announce that the development of "Legend of the Demon World 2" was officially coming to an end and the game was ready to be launched immediately.

But when he turned his head, what he saw was the unwilling eyes of his team members.

"Boss... Are the things we make really so bad?"

It was a young man who spoke.

He stared at Tang Yunpeng in a daze, his eyes brimming with dissatisfaction.

Tang Yunpeng knew this kind of look, it was called "young and frivolous", and he had it before.

This is a group of young people, or in other words, programmers themselves are young people's professions, especially young people who have nothing to do with games.

They can endure 996 and squeeze, but they can't bear the fact that "efforts can't be rewarded".

In their view, they worked so hard to complete "Legend of the Demon World 2", this should be a game that can satisfy players.

"What we make is not bad, at least better than 90.00% of the games on the market."

Tang Yunpeng said.

"Is 90.00% enough?"

Tang Yunpeng's breathing was stagnant.

Why doesn't he want to make "Legend of the Demon World 2" better?

"But we don't have time, innovation is not a simple matter, you don't have to pay too much attention to my friend's words.

Even if we take our first version of the game, I don't necessarily think that innovation will be any better than our current finished product. "

As he said that, Tang Yunpeng also saw the disappointed eyes of his group of young team members. He paused and added:
"Of course, if you have brilliant ideas, you can make an exception."

The scene suddenly fell into silence.

An idea that is brilliant enough, but how brilliant is it?

If they have this ability, do they still need to stay here?
Seeing that everyone's emotions have calmed down, Tang Yunpeng nodded slightly in satisfaction.

"That... Boss, would you like to watch this video?"

Suddenly, a hand raised in the crowd attracted everyone's attention.

Tang Yunpeng frowned and walked forward quickly.

With just one glance, he was overwhelmed by the beauty in the video that seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

And as the progress bar slowly moved backward, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Genius! Masterpiece! Work of art!"

Tang Yunpeng muttered to himself.

He seems to be able to keep his posthumous name.
