October 10th, Wednesday …
Yu Fei sat at his desk. On his computer screen was information related to Ghost General. In his hand was a small notebook filled with scribbles.
His face was filled with despair.
What a scam!
He had no clue at all!
After the meeting on Monday, Yu Fei was forced by Boss Pei to carry out the initial design work for Ghost General 2.
This was Yu Fei's first time participating in Tengda's new games creative sharing meeting. It was completely different from what he had imagined!
As a fan of Repent and be Saved, Yu Fei had always been interested in Tengda Games. He was originally very curious about how these classic games were designed.
However, when he really came to Tengda Games and even participated in the research and development as a substitute chief designer, Yu Fei suddenly realized that this was very different from what he had expected!
What was the difference?
There might be many differences, but the most outstanding point was the style!
He had a feeling that he had opened it the wrong way. He should not be in Tengda Games but somewhere else.
One had to know that Tengda Games could be said to be very famous. It was like thunder to one's ears.
In the games industry, Tengda Games could be said to be the best of the best in the domestic games industry. They had succeeded so much that their hands were sore. What's more, the game genre was not the same.
This was mainly due to Boss Pei, the genius designer. However, the employees of the games department could not be underestimated to be able to achieve Boss Pei's ideas to such an extent. Any one of them would probably be able to beat the producers of other companies.
Within Tengda, everyone knew that the people in the games department were the best of Boss Pei's direct subordinates and the best of the best. Outstanding employees would be sent to other industries once they were nurtured.
Huang Sibo, Lu Mingliang, and the others were in the same situation.
However, he realized that something was amiss after entering a department with so many halos.
Yu Fei felt that as a layman with no experience in game development, it was ridiculous enough that Boss Pei had entrusted him with such a heavy responsibility.
Now, Boss Pei actually asked him to be in charge of designing and developing a fighting game?
What was he thinking?
Of course, doubts were just doubts. Yu Fei, who had repeatedly told himself that he had to stand on the last shift, finally gave up struggling and began to work step by step.
His idea was to do as much as he could since the task had already been given to him. It would be normal if he did not complete it. He would do more or less and be worthy of the salary that Boss Pei was giving him.
Repent and be Saved had already been negotiated with the official platform for free. The official platform was very supportive.
After all, Repent and be Saved had a Chinese-style story background. It was also a rare high-quality game in the action game category. It was completely in line with the official platform's purpose of promoting traditional culture and promoting the development of the game industry.
But this news had not been officially announced yet, because the official platform had said that there would be a big event!
If a game like Repent and be Saved was to be free, they could not just change the price and be done with it. That would be too embarrassing.
What's more, Tengda had taken the initiative to request a refund for players who had recently purchased the items. The refund limit was different for players who had purchased the items at different times. This had to be considered in the long run. They had to perfect the relevant functions and allocate the profits for each period.
Thus, the official platform decided to prepare for a period of time. They would officially announce this news next week and open the official refund channel.
At the same time, they also promised that they would package the free Repent and be Saved and Eternal Reincarnation together and put the best recommendations for a month in an eye-catching position!
Of course, they had to make a big deal out of such a good thing. They could not let a good company like Tengda contribute silently.
Of course, Yu Fei had no objections.
In his opinion, Repent and be Saved was free. Even though the official platform would lose a little share, its influence was huge. Whether it was to attract traffic to the platform, expand the player base, or promote traditional culture, the hidden benefits to the official platform were extremely considerable. It was much more than the small share.
Under such circumstances, wouldn't it be normal for the official platform to give some good resources to publicize it?
Thus, this matter was considered to have come to an end. Yu Fei handed the matter of connecting to the others in the department and began to rack his brains to think of the design plan for Ghost General 2.
As for why he did not ask others …
He tried, but there was no result.
The other people in the games department had the same tone: They could not help!
This was not because they were indifferent. Everyone had good reasons.
First of all, this idea was suggested by Yu Fei. Different people had different thoughts and could not provide opinions.
Everyone in the creative industry knew that different people had different thoughts. Thus, it was easy to become a 'stitched monster' by giving random opinions. Take writing for example. If an author finished an outline and handed it to another author to create, the results would definitely be unrecognizable.
Since Boss Pei had adopted Yu Fei's idea, no one else would be able to think about this problem for him.
Second, Boss Pei had specifically asked Yu Fei to be in charge of this matter. This meant that Boss Pei must have seen something shining about him that was directly related to the game.
Yu Fei could only think of a way to dig out this shining point himself. If others helped, they might do bad things with good intentions, causing Yu Fei to not be able to dig out this shining point.
Finally, there was another important reason. The others did not know much about fighting games!
Knowing a little about fighting games and being proficient in fighting games were two completely different concepts.
He could say that he knew a little just by making a few consecutive moves. However, the gap between this level and those truly proficient godly players might be even greater than the gap between gold players and king players.
After all, MOBA games could sometimes be mixed up and wait for teammates to carry. However, fighting games were purely based on one's own skills. If one could not win, one could not win.
Therefore, due to these complicated reasons, no one could provide any suggestions. Yu Fei could only fill his small notebook with scribbles in despair. Some ideas appeared in his mind, but they were quickly rejected by him.
Just as he was at a loss, he suddenly heard Min Jingchao's surprised voice. "Eh? Old Hu, you're back? "
Old Hu?
Hu Xianbin?!
Yu Fei stood up and looked at the door.
It was really Hu Xianbin!
After not seeing him for two months, Hu Xianbin was a little tanned and thinner. He was in good spirits, but the expression on his face revealed the inhuman treatment he had suffered during this period of time.
Yu Fei was overjoyed. It was not an exaggeration to say that he had survived a desperate situation.
Hu Xianbin was finally back after two months!
Do you know what I've been through for the past two months?
However, it was good that he was back. Old Hu was no different from a savior now that he was back.
Yu Fei knew that he finally did not have to kill his brain cells for Ghost General 2. He would be free after leaving this mess to Hu Xianbin and briefly explaining Boss Pei's request!
At that thought, he immediately strode forward. "Brother Hu, you came back at the right time!"
"Come quickly, I'll briefly explain the design direction of Ghost General 2 to you. Let's hand over the work, and then I'll go back and write!"
"Sigh, to tell you the truth, Brother Hu. I can't take it anymore as the substitute chief planner. If you came two days later, I would have been tortured until I broke down."
Yu Fei was overjoyed. He was beaming with joy as if he had finally managed to get a taxi after standing in the cold for more than an hour.
Hu Xianbin looked at him with a strange expression. He wanted to speak a few times, but Yu Fei was so happy that he kept talking to himself. Hu Xianbin could not find a chance to interrupt.
When Yu Fei was about to pull Hu Xianbin to the work desk to hand over the work, Hu Xianbin finally found an opportunity. He sighed softly and said, "Um, calm down first and listen to my explanation."
"Actually, I came back this time because the special training camp gave us a break. They asked us to rest and deal with the remaining matters of the various departments. They wanted us to prepare for our trip to Shennongjia."
"Therefore, it's not possible to hand over the work. I'm afraid you'll have to endure for another month."
Yu Fei's expression instantly froze. Although there was still a smile on his face, his eyes were filled with doubt.
"Shennongjia?"
"Why are you going to Shennongjia?"
"Hasn't a month already passed?"
Hu Xianbin explained, "Last month, we only did physical training at the special training base in Jingzhou. It's not considered official content. After the physical training is completed, we still have to go to Shennongjia to suffer for a month. "
"Previously, it was all a foreshadowing. This trip to Shennongjia is the main content of this event."
Yu Fei was dumbfounded. For a moment, he lost his ability to speak.
Hu Xianbin patted his shoulder sympathetically. "Believe me, I'm more upset than you …"
Yu Fei still refused to give up. "Must we go? Can't we make an exception? "
Hu Xianbin forced a smile. "Do you think I wouldn't try if there was a way to bend the rules?"
"You make it sound like I want to go to Shennongjia!"
"I'm so envious of you. You only have to think about the new game every day at work. I really have to suffer!"
"Why don't we switch places? You go to Shennongjia? I have no objections! "
Yu Fei's face darkened. "That's not necessary!"
"Sigh, how about this, Brother Hu? Since you still have a short holiday, why don't you help me think about the prototype of this game?"
"I'm mainly worried that I'm not capable enough. If I mess up the game and ruin Tengda Games' reputation, wouldn't I become a sinner?"
"I'm really not good at fighting games!"
Hu Xianbin sniggered. "What a coincidence, I'm not good at it either. I can't help."
Yu Fei: "… What should we do then?!"
Good lord, no one in the entire project team was good at fighting games. What should they do?
Boss Pei might be good at it, but he had long stopped doing such specific design work.
Should he learn and understand now?
It would be too late. How could this be learned in a day or two?
Hu Xianbin rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment before saying, "Actually, Tengda Games did have a big boss who was good at fighting games previously."
Yu Fei's eyes lit up. "Oh? Who is it? "
Tengda Games was indeed full of hidden talents. If Hu Xianbin had not revealed this news, he would not have known.
After a moment of silence, Hu Xianbin said slowly, "Brother Bao."
Yu Fei: "…"
Alright, it was as good as not saying anything.
