Wang Xiaobin pondered for a moment. "Of course, we will not shirk our duty if our brother's department needs it."
"What's more, changing these client-side games to mobile games would definitely bring more income to Shang Yang Games. It would be beneficial for us as well."
"However … we have limited manpower. We still have the development of 'Fitness Battle' on hand. It's hard to guarantee the construction period."
"When will this cell phone be released?"
Jiang Yuan said, "The cell phone news conference is tentatively scheduled for June. There's still more than three months."
"If there's enough time, it would be best to announce these mobile games at the same time as the cell phone is released. If there's not enough time, we can only wait for the cell phone to be released before updating. "
Wang Xiaobin roughly estimated the construction period and the manpower on his side. He said, "We don't have enough manpower. However, Tengda Games might be able to help us share some of the burden. "
"The development of Mission and Choice should have entered the later stages. Once this game is completed, they will be able to free up time to develop the mobile version of Ocean Stronghold. It shouldn't be a problem for us to be in charge of the mobile version of The Lonely Desert Road. "
"However, these two games will definitely have to be modified to a certain extent if they are to be made into mobile games …"
Jiang Yuan was very happy. "I don't care about that. You guys are professionals. You can decide how to change it."
Wang Xiaobin nodded. "Alright, leave this to me. Don't worry."
After sending Jiang Yuan off, Wang Xiaobin began to consider how to change these two games into mobile games.
Strictly speaking, Ocean Stronghold and The Lonely Desert Road were not particularly suitable for mobile games.
Ocean Stronghold had a huge capacity and a lot of plot content. On the other hand, The Lonely Desert Road's driving time was a few hours long. It was completely at odds with the fragmented time characteristics of mobile games.
After some consideration, Wang Xiaobin decided that he had to modify it slightly.
According to Tengda's habit, the client-side game would definitely be changed to a mobile game. For example, if players had already bought the 888-yuan Red Kilin in Ocean Stronghold's client-side game, they would definitely have to exchange data when they reached the mobile game.
This was what Boss Pei had repeatedly ordered. He would never change it.
This might reduce a lot of income, but it could increase the stickiness of players and make it harder for them to lose players.
When gamers were tired of the client-side game, they could go to the mobile game to relax. When the mobile game was tired, they could go back to the client-side game. Of course, be it GOG or Ocean Stronghold, as long as it was a game with competitive elements, the client-side and mobile games would have separate matching systems to ensure fairness.
At the same time, data interoperability could also provide better guidance when mobile games are released.
Many veteran players were used to playing client-side games. If the mobile game did not inherit the client-side account, these veteran players would definitely not want to play again. However, after inheriting the client-side game's data, most of these old client-side players would try it out when the mobile game was released. Perhaps some of them would stay.
As for the income from the game … As long as the players stayed, there was no need to worry that they wouldn't spend money.
Therefore, Wang Xiaobin began to think about how to modify the two games under the premise that the client-side and mobile games were interconnected.
Apart from the most basic operation changes, the gameplay also had to be slightly modified.
Ocean Stronghold cut off all the story mode and only kept the battle mode. At the same time, the art resources were compressed appropriately. Under the premise of ensuring the image quality on the cell phone, the game capacity was greatly reduced so that it would not take up too much space on the cell phone of players.
On the other hand, The Lonely Desert Road compressed the game time from the original eight hours to two hours. After all, two hours of playing on the cell phone was painful enough.
After that, he would make a few racing maps for The Lonely Desert Road. Each map would take about three to five minutes to allow gamers to race freely. Otherwise, most gamers would be tired of the original gameplay. No one would play it again and would not be able to help Otto Technologies.
After these two games were changed to mobile games, they would still be interconnected with the client-side game data. What's more, they were all free games. When Otto Technologies' cell phones were released, GOG and these two games could be tacitly agreed.
The game characteristics of G1 cell phones could be highlighted.
Wang Xiaobin immediately began to sort out the design documents and began to arrange the development of these two mobile games.

February 27th, Monday …
Pei Qian had just arrived at the office to check on the work of the various departments when Old Ma knocked on the door.
Ma Yang looked very happy. "Brother Qian, the website for Bunny Tail Live-Stream is almost done. The basic functions have been completed. It has also been tested repeatedly. It's almost time to release the promotional video!"
"However, only the basic functions have been completed at the moment. More detailed functions are still being done. What's more, there are no live-streamers in the live-stream for the time being, so there's not much content. "
"Brother Qian, do you think we should release the promotional video now, or wait for some time to find a batch of live-streamers before releasing the promotional video and officially releasing it?"
Pei Qian immediately said, "There's no time like the present. There's no time to lose. Let's release it now!"
Pei Qian was very satisfied with the development speed of Bunny Tail Live-Stream.
The reason why it was developed so quickly was mainly because Bunny Tail Live-Stream was only doing the basic functions at the moment. That was to ensure that the audience could see the live-streamer's image and record the replay. The other more complicated functions had not been developed yet.
What's more, there were not many live-streamers. That was because many people did not know that Tengda had created a Bunny Tail Live-Stream.
How could there be live-streamers without popularity?
If it was according to the practices of other live-stream platforms, they would definitely spend a lot of money to poach a group of live-streamers. Then, they would start to publicize and create popularity. The live-stream website's beta testing would also be accompanied by many big live-streamers' live-streams. That would be able to create popularity better.
However, Pei Qian wanted to do the opposite. He wanted it to be cool!
Bunny Tail Live-Stream only had basic functions. There were not many live-streamers and not many viewers. That did not matter. In any case, they would start it first.
When everyone saw how cool this live-stream platform was, they would form a preconceived impression that this live-stream platform was not good. It would be even more difficult for them to make a comeback in the future.
Thus, Pei Qian immediately decided to let Bunny Tail Live-Stream be released without any preparation!
Ma Yang did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. He left Pei Qian's office happily and went back to urge Chen Yufeng to release the promotional video so that Bunny Tail Live-Stream would be officially released.
…
Pei Qian stood up and went to the resting area to get a can of Coca-Cola. Then, he quietly refreshed Aili Island's website and waited patiently.
As expected, Old Ma immediately released the promotional video for Bunny Tail Live-Stream when he returned!
Pei Qian already knew the content of this promotional video. It was about 'two different lives of two people'. Those who watched live-streams wasted their time and achieved nothing. Those who did not watch live-streams used this time to enrich themselves, improve themselves, and successfully reach the peak of their careers.
This promotional video was Meng Chang's painstaking work. Pei Qian trusted his ability very much.
The audience would definitely be agitated and criticize Bunny Tail Live-Stream badly, right?
Pei Qian watched the entire video from beginning to end again. Then, he silently refreshed the comments section to see how the audience reacted.
"What does this promotional video mean?!"
"Is it advising us to cherish our time and not watch live-streams?"
"Isn't this a promotional video for a live-stream website? Is it defaming itself? "
"… As a lazy university dog, I seem to see myself in this promotional video."
"The scene of watching the live-stream in the dormitory is too real. It's so real that it makes me uncomfortable! I'm reporting it! "
"Who installed a surveillance camera here?"
"Isn't this deliberately disgusting? I'm just watching a live-stream to rest and relax. Why would I be labeled as' wasting time '? Aren't other entertainment activities also wasting time? "
"Is this Bunny Tail Live-Stream trying to create big news? Criticizing all their peers? However, it's also a live-stream platform … Isn't this scolding itself as well? "
Obviously, the audience was 30% angry and 70% confused.
Even though this promotional video did not say it explicitly, it still hinted that people who were addicted to live-streams were lazy dogs. It would definitely agitate those who usually liked to watch live-streams.
However, most of the audience's attitude was not anger, but confusion.
That was because what this promotional video said seemed to be the truth. If they spent a lot of time indulging in live-streams, they would indeed waste time and affect their studies or career.
However, the problem was, why would a live-stream platform publicize such a thing? This motive was really incomprehensible!
The audience's first reaction was that this' Bunny Tail Live-Stream 'wanted to create big news, create popularity, and promote their live-stream platform.
Being scolded was also a form of popularity.
Everyone had seen the tricks of live-stream platforms many times. They would do anything for popularity. Sometimes, it was better to be scolded than to be ignored.
Since it was to be scolded to increase its popularity, the best way was not to give it any popularity.
Thus, the popularity of this video was not very high after it was released. What's more, many people were scolding it, saying that Bunny Tail Live-Stream had deliberately filmed such a sensational video in order to gain popularity. It was ugly.
Pei Qian could not help but smile when he saw this situation.
Alright, Meng Chang was still something!
Not only did he not gain any popularity for Bunny Tail Live-Stream, but he was also scolded. Well done!
…
At the same time, Meng Chang, who was preparing to film an E-Sports promotional video, also saw the promotional video of Bunny Tail Live-Stream on Aili Island.
His face was filled with happiness similar to Pei Qian's.
The situation was great!
The promotional video this time was not very popular. Even if there were comments, they were basically scolding. He would definitely be able to obtain a huge commission according to his agreement with Boss Pei!
At the thought of the commission, Meng Chang felt his entire body filled with motivation. He could not wait to finish filming the E-Sports promotional video and have a double celebration.
However, Meng Chang suddenly saw a new comment after scrolling through the comments section a few more times.
"Everyone, don't be in a hurry to scold us. We've misunderstood! Bunny Tail Live-Stream's promotional video is not trying to gain popularity. This live-stream platform is completely different from other live-streams! Everyone, go to Bunny Tail Live-Stream's website and you'll understand! "
Meng Chang looked confused when he saw this comment.
What did this mean?
Why was Bunny Tail Live-Stream completely different from other live-stream platforms?
Meng Chang vaguely felt that something was amiss. He quickly searched for 'Bunny Tail Live-Stream', found the official website, and clicked in.
Then, he saw a white-haired, spirited old man on the homepage. He was using a very easy-to-understand method to talk about ancient literature, including some basic knowledge of ancient poetry and classical Chinese.
The background was a bookshelf that occupied an entire wall. There were all sorts of paintings hanging beside it. It was filled with an ancient charm. Obviously, it was the old professor's home.
There were not many people in the live-stream, but Professor Kong Zhemin did not mind. He smiled and spoke tirelessly as if he was teaching a new student.
