"What kind of game did I play …?"
Lin Wan closed her laptop screen and fell into deep thought.
This game was called Bloody Battle Song. It had completely changed her understanding of games.
How could such a trashy game exist in this world?
Although the game had been updated and changed, the changes were mainly to the gameplay and design.
No matter how much they changed, Bloody Battle Song was still a web-based game. Lin Wan found countless reasons to dissuade her from playing it.
The graphics were terrible, but they were still filled with the aesthetic of the last century. The characters in the game were all wearing patterned armor that had no sense of design. Their bodies were wrapped in exaggerated and vulgar golden effects, and they had a pair of colorful wings on their backs.
This was especially true for the main cities. A large number of players were clustered together, and every one of them wore colorful equipment. Above their heads were their IDs, Guild names, titles, and a series of other information. The entire scene was a complete mess.
The game was very considerate and provided a function to block other players. Once it was turned on, it was easy to find one's own location.
However, the problem was that the entire game immediately revealed its true colors. It looked very cold and cheerless, and the unrefined scenes were clearly displayed in front of the players.
The game's music and sound effects were filled with the flavor of the last decade. It was not terrible, but it made the players feel like they were in a movie.
Most importantly, this was a web-based game.
Thus, most of its art resources had to be downloaded from the internet.
Every time players entered a new map or a new scene, a small progress bar would appear on the screen because the art resources had not been downloaded completely. It would say 'Loading Resources'.
What's more, all the players had become black figures. The map and scenery would take some time to load.
In some places where the scenery would change frequently, each change would make players feel like they were going to collapse.
The gameplay was even more old-fashioned and monotonous. It was nothing more than killing monsters, leveling up, completing missions, and the like. Calling it 'old-fashioned' was a little too much.
Lin Wan pinched her nose and played for five minutes. She only had one feeling.
LOW！
Even if she had to pay for this game, she would not want to play it.
Lin Wan felt a little regretful.
She trusted Boss Pei too much. That was why she did not think too much before accepting the mission.
She vaguely knew about Shang Yang Games. She also knew that this company had produced a rather lousy game.
But she had never imagined that she would fail to such an extent!
In Lin Wan's mind, the so-called flop was probably a few levels lower than Sun Strike Studios' Bullet Hole.
However, when she saw Bloody Battle Song, she realized that it was not a matter of a few levels lower. It was a matter of a few years' difference!
This game even made her feel as if she had returned to ten years ago.
After trying out the game, apart from feeling a little uncomfortable, Lin Wan also had deep doubts and confusion about Pei Qian's decision.
Boss Pei … why did he want to acquire such a game company?
No matter how one looked at it, there was only one ending for this game company: being eliminated from the market.
This company should go bankrupt on the spot, and the designer who designed this game should find another job. If no company wanted him, he might as well change careers.
Judging from the situation of this game, its main designer should not be in this industry!
However, Boss Pei still bought over the company. What's more, he personally promoted a newcomer and gave suggestions for improvement.
What Lin Wan was seeing now was the version that Boss Pei had modified.
However, it was obvious that this was still a long way from being a game that could generate profits.
Lin Wan was a little hesitant. She did not want to go.
Wouldn't it be better to develop Repent and be Saved at Tengda Games?
With Boss Pei at the helm, the game would probably receive rave reviews and sales would explode. As a member of the production team, Lin Wan would also feel proud and elated.
However, now that she was developing Bloody Battle Song at Shang Yang Games, the script was completely different!
Even if she could successfully develop the game, she would probably end up being despised by mainstream gamers.
Lin Wan would be too embarrassed to tell her friends and classmates that she had created such a game.
However, considering that this was Boss Pei's arrangement, Lin Wan felt that there was a deeper meaning behind it.
After all, Boss Pei had high hopes for her when he handed this task to her. She was the 'link' and the 'conveyor' of his spirit '.
If she backed off just like that, she might not be able to understand Boss Pei's true intentions.
The key to becoming stronger might be hidden in this.
Lin Wan thought about it for a long time and finally made up her mind.
In any case, Tengda was still keeping her workstation. She could go back anytime. She could use this opportunity to challenge herself at Shang Yang Games. It was a good opportunity.
…
…
At Shang Yang Games …
In the conference room …
Ye Zhizhou, Wang Xiaobin, and the others nervously peeked at Lin Wan, who was sitting on the other side of the conference table.
Lin Wan, who had just arrived at Shang Yang Games, held a small notebook in her hand and looked like she was humbly learning.
However, to others, Lin Wan's constant recording in her notebook made them feel even more pressured.
Everyone was nervous and uneasy about this leader who had been parachuted in from Tengda.
Most importantly, they could not guess what Boss Pei was thinking.
Did Boss Pei trust Shang Yang Games or not?
If he did not trust Boss Pei, it was because the new game's design plan had been done by Shang Yang Games. The new chief planner, Ye Zhizhou, had also been promoted from Shang Yang Games' original project. The company's original structure had not changed much.
However, if he wanted to trust Boss Pei, what did he mean by parachuting a new leader in now that the new game was about to be developed?
According to Boss Pei, Lin Wan's position was the development director. It was basically the same as a producer.
However, the role of a detail director did not seem like she would be in charge of specific matters. Instead, she was more like a supervisor.
At the moment, Shang Yang Games could be seen as having three key positions: Ye Zhizhou, who was in charge of the game's creativity and overall planning; Wang Xiaobin, who was in charge of the game's design and implementation; and Lin Wan, who had veto power over all important decisions.
Originally, Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin had already completed all the planning work for the game. They could have just reported it to Boss Pei.
However, now, between Ye Zhizhou and Boss Pei, there was an additional development director, Lin Wan.
Many people even privately guessed that Ye Zhizhou had not been able to turn losses into profits after taking over as chief planner. That was why he had lost Boss Pei's trust. Was that why Boss Pei had parachuted someone in from Tengda?
At that moment, the entire Shang Yang Games was shrouded in a shadow of uncertainty.
At first, Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin had intended to let Lin Wan take over all the work. However, they did not expect Lin Wan to reject it.
His speech in front of everyone was also very brief. He only said a few insignificant words to slightly appease everyone's emotions, and then he quietly listened on the side.
Thus, the meeting proceeded according to the usual procedure. Ye Zhizhou explained the design of Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version to everyone.
Lin Wan listened and jotted down notes in her notebook.
Then, one question mark after another appeared in his mind.
What is this?
What is this?
