Say Yes To Making Bad Games, What the Hell is Titanfall?

  Chapter 154 Axed Milestone

   "Comera?"

  Shen Miaomiao leaned on the boss chair, picked up the fax on the table, a little surprised.

  Comera she knows.

   After all, it is also a world-class comprehensive digital entertainment manufacturer that traverses the East and the West.

   She has heard of it.

  In the early years, Ke Meila started his business by relying on pachinko, and accumulated primitive capital with small steel balls.

  Afterwards, it blossomed in full bloom. Starting from a small pinball game machine, it gradually opened up its own ambitious dominance in the game circle.

  Now, Comera has become one of the largest comprehensive digital entertainment manufacturers in Neon, and its main game and motion cabin business spans the world.

   It can almost be called the existence second only to the "Yunwei-Vivendi" United Digital Entertainment Group.

  Nowadays, Ke Meila plays with his left hand and the motion sensor cabin with his right hand, and sits down in Pachinko with majesty.

  In Asia, it can be said to be above ten thousand people.

Of course.

   This information was only learned by Shen Miaomiao after she joined the game industry and became the president of Golden Wind Games.

   It is reasonable to say that a small company like Golden Wind is not considered a first-class game company in Huaguo.

  Shen Miaomiao didn't understand how Ke Meila would find them.

   "It's Director Gu,"

  Chu Qingzhou who came to report said:

   "Komeira wants Director Gu by name."

  Shen Miaomiao:...

   There was silence for three seconds.

  Shen Miaomiao gritted her silver teeth, and creaked: "Ha Mabo—the little devil won't give up on me, I'll go find Old Shen! This time, I want to say anything..."

  Chu Qingzhou opened his mouth: "They came to seek cooperation..."

  “…Let them see what it means to be value for money!!”

  Shen Miaomiao who stood halfway sat down again.

   "Sister Chuchu, can you finish the conversation in one go in the future?"

  Shen Miaomiao took a sip of water, and finally swallowed the breath.

  Chu Qingzhou shrugged: "You didn't wait for me to finish."

   "It's true..."

  Shen Miaomiao scratched her head, then put down the fax, too lazy to read:

   "So what kind of cooperation are they looking for?"

  Chu Qingzhou is also used to Miao Miao's salty fish style of being lazy when she can be lazy, so she opened her notebook and reported:

   "Two and a half months later, at the beginning of November, the Neon Tokyo Game Festival, one of the four major international game exhibitions, will open,"

   "At that time, 507 game manufacturers from all over the world will participate in this exhibition,"

   "Among them, local neon manufacturers occupy half of the seats,"

   "Among these neon manufacturers, Big Brother and Comera will naturally not be absent,"

   "Affected by the expansion of the somatosensory cabin market in recent years, coupled with the fact that Komera is currently the world's largest manufacturer of somatosensory cabins,"

   "This year's Video Game Festival, Comeira will further increase the proportion of game promotion in the somatosensory cabin to 80%,"

   "They have already made preparations for the three categories of shooting, racing, and sports,"

   "But apart from that, they are also planning to try more in other game categories,"

   "Like—"

  …

   "Horror game."

  Two weeks ago.

  The meeting room on the top floor of the Neon Dongjin Kemeila Co., Ltd. building.

  Toruya Moritani, who is the managing director of Comera’s game business, said:

   "The somatosensory cabin market is getting bigger and bigger today,"

   "And we, Comera, as an international first-tier manufacturer that combines games and somatosensory cabins, this time the Dongjin Video Game Festival will naturally come out on top,"

   "Today, the three major game categories have been developed in an orderly manner under the arrangement of Director Uesugi of the Game Division,"

   "In addition to the three major categories, I think we can also make corresponding plays,"

   "Strive to make our somatosensory cabin game category more comprehensive,"

   "After all, this time, the focus of our exhibition is the somatosensory cabin game,"

   "So, I suggest that we look back properly and try horror games again in the somatosensory cabin."

  After listening to Executive Moritani's words, all the executives of Komera looked at each other and nodded.

   "I think this proposal from Director Moritani can be discussed..."

   "Indeed, the degree of fit between horror games and the somatosensory cabin should be very high..."

   "And this time we will focus on the somatosensory cabin game, the category of horror games, and it can indeed be considered..."

   "It is indeed a suitable timing..."

   "It can be regarded as enriching our game categories..."

   "But the problem is that in the somatosensory cabin, the word-of-mouth and player interest of horror games are not very satisfactory. This is a difficult objective factor..."

   "And we don't have any good horror game themes to use right now..."

  As the executives raised difficult objective questions one by one, everyone frowned.

   Today's somatosensory pod horror game market is not friendly, this is a certainty.

   At this point, they have suffered a lot.

  Since the mass production of the motion sensor pod started, Comera has released five motion sensor pod horror games.

  Two profit, one break even, and two loss.

   But considering the investment of these five games, one is higher than the other.

  So overall, they are still losing money in the field of somatosensory pod horror games.

  How to make profit?

   This is the core of the core, and it is also the most concerned issue of Ke Meila's President Keiko Joe!

  Jie Yueke is fifty-eight years old this year. Although he is thin, he has a very tough style of acting and puts interests first.

  The way he runs Comera is very simple—

   Profitable projects are supported, money and people are needed, but the project is not allowed to be terminated casually, even if it is rotten, its last vitality must be squeezed.

  As for those projects that are not profitable and continue to burn costs.

  A large character—cut!

  Don't talk about artistry, am I doing business for art?

   It's good to have good applause and a lot of seats.

  But if you have to choose one of these two.

   Then Yue Yue Jingzheng will definitely choose the latter without hesitation, putting profit first.

   And now!

  Although the proposal of managing director Toruya Moriya is very good.

  But before he can guarantee profitability, he still has great doubts about this project.

   "So, do you have plans for the horror game Moritani?"

   With the president's voice ringing!

  One time!

  All eyes were on Moriya.

However!

   Moritani was already prepared!

  I saw him pull out a stack of thin documents from his meeting book, and handed it to Joe Kagemasa:

   "Yes, please take a look."

   After receiving the document from Moritani, Keiko Joe was looking at it intently.

   This turned out to be a game project proposal.

   However, when you open the business case, you can find that it is not complete, and even has only one basic setting and structure.

  I don’t know whether the relevant content in it was not written well or lost.

  Closing the project proposal, Joey let out a deep sigh:

   "Serendo...Hello?"

   "Silent Hell," Moritani nodded: "Silent Hell."

   "This is a project proposal ten years ago,"

   Moritani introduced:

  “Ten years ago, the team leader of TeamSilent submitted this business proposal,”

   “But because we were focusing on another game at the time, we cut the budget for that game,”

   “And the cost scale of this game is very large in the early stage,”

   "So, with the unanimous consent of the board of directors, the project was put on hold indefinitely,"

   "The main creative team, TeamSilent, also disbanded shortly after,"

   "It took me a lot of effort to find this project proposal, but unfortunately, only the first few pages are left."

  After listening to Moritani's introduction, Joetsu Kei was thinking about it.

   It's been too long.

   It seems that there was such a project back then, but it didn’t make any waves after all, so it was naturally cut off.

  Now, Moritani has found out this project proposal again.

   "So," Joey asked, "in your opinion, is this project very promising?"

   "It was hard to say before,"

   Moritani replied:

   "But now, I think it's time."

"oh?"

  Hearing this, Shang Yue raised his eyebrows with interest:

   "Why?"

   "This," Moritani pointed to the key words of the game on the first page of the project proposal: "adventure, horror, psychological suggestive fear."

good!

  In this world!

  Silent Hill, which was supposed to gain fame and become a milestone in horror games, has never been officially released!

  By chance, it became a stepping stone for a certain game project of Comera!

  The reason why Moriya turned it out today is because of the following words—psychological suggestive fear!

  As the managing director of the game business!

  Toru Moriya is of course well aware of some changes in the game industry!

   Among them, the "psychological fear" created by the golden wind is included!

  This idea is almost the same as the idea of ​​the Silent Hill abolition case, it coincides with the idea!

   "Furthermore, through the market test, Golden Wind has also proved that such a game format can advance bravely. When the main body of the horror game in the somatosensory cabin is in a bad situation, it is still popular and well-received,"

   Speaking of this, Moritani opened his notebook:

  "According to historical data survey, the multiplayer online horror game "Phobia" brought by Wind of Gold"

   "The cost was paid back in a single week, and the net profit in a single month was more than twice the cost."

   Moritani has worked in Comera for so many years, and he knows that it is useless to say anything. Only when the word "making money" is placed in front of Joetsu King, the president will pay attention to it.

   Horror game, Golden Wind made it!

  Psychological horror, try Golden Wind!

   Make money!

as expected!

  After hearing the exaggerated data Moritani said, his eyes lit up and he gasped!

   "Hiss—is that the company that defeated all opponents at the Asian Games with a cost of 50 million and took away the golden crown and scepter?"

"Yes,"

   Moriya nodded:

   “Since someone has already tried it and had success, I think we can follow up,”

   "United with the Golden Wind, and at the same time invited their soul to be the special chief game director of this project—"

  …

   "Cooperate with us? And ask me to be the invited director by name?"

  In Little Nezha's office, Gu Sheng smacked his lips.

  Comera's invitation.

   Tut.

   Gu Sheng was a little bit guilty.

  He was a little surprised.

  After all, with the current size of Golden Wind and his popularity in the game circle, he should not be worthy of being favored by a world-class comprehensive super game manufacturer like Komera.

but.

  Thinking that they once took away the golden crown from a group of powerful Asian enemies under the attention of the whole of Asia.

  It is not impossible to be able to enter Comeira's sight.

only…

  Gu Sheng was a little bit against the company of Komela.

   It wasn't because it had done anything to hurt him or the Golden Wind.

  It's simply because Ke Meila's name is too similar to that of the Fvking manufacturer with the same surname "Ke" in his previous life!

  Gu Sheng didn't have much affection for that game company.

  However, such a biased judgment is unfair. It seems that people look at this life with the colored glasses of the previous life.

  Gu Sheng grinned and his attitude was a bit ambiguous.

   "What kind of lane did they draw?"

   Gu Sheng asked.

   "Co-developing games," Chu Qingzhou said: "At the Neon Dongjin Video Game Festival in early November, Ke Meila is going to restart an IP called Silent Hill, and put it in the somatosensory cabin..."

"Hold on,"

   Before Chu Qingzhou finished speaking, Gu Sheng raised his hand to interrupt her:

   "Excuse me, Secretary Chu, what IP did you just say...?"

"silent Hill,"

  Chu Qingzhou repeated again:

   "According to Comera, this is a case that they once abandoned, but looking at it now, it will have a bit of psychological horror at that time,"

   "What? You heard something?"

   Hiss! !

  After hearing Chu Qingzhou finish speaking, Gu Sheng couldn't help but gasp in his heart!

  I have more than just heard about it!

   This thing is in my original world, but it keeps pace with Resident Evil. It definitely occupies a place in horror games, and it can even be called a milestone game!

  Before, Gu Sheng murmured that there is a biohazard in this world, but there is no Silent Hill.

   Now it seems!

   This world also has Silent Hill!

   Or, there should have been Silent Hill!

   However, due to various reasons, this project was shelved!

  This is really...by mistake.

   Gu Sheng thought secretly.

  Originally, as long as there is a slight bias, the name of the founder of psychological fear should not be his own, but Comera's.

  But Komera cut off the milestone work that should have been established.

  That's why I, a time traveler, won the title of the pioneer of psychological horror with a "Fear of Ghosts".

  Thinking of this, Gu Sheng couldn't help shaking his head and laughing secretly.

  In fact, strictly speaking, the work of Phobia did not fully express the psychological fear.

The reason why the players feel scary is that Gu Sheng added some flavor of Silent Hill to it, and secondly, it is because the level of the game industry in this world is higher than that of his previous life, and the innate sense of substitution in the somatosensory cabin is too strong .

   Therefore, it has its success.

   And now!

  Comera is here! Silent Hill rises from the coffin!

  A world-class game company across the water came to their door, wanted to restart the IP of Silent Hill, invited Golden Wind to co-develop it, and appointed him as the special chief game director!

  You asked me to do Silent Hill?

  Then players enjoy (zao) great (lao) blessing (zui) slightly!

  Gu Sheng felt that it was time for the players to understand what real psychological horror is!

but!

   After all, this IP belongs to Ke Meila's family, not Golden Wind, and Gu Sheng's first impression of Ke Meila is naturally biased.

   Therefore, before the cooperation, the relevant cooperation rules must be negotiated.

  You can play games.

  However, you have to think carefully about how to do it.
