Hearing this, Uncle Page moved his eyes away from the computer screen and leaned back on the soft chair very casually.
Judging from his appearance, Boss Bai is the kind of handsome man that women like. He is in his thirties, has a bit of a beard, and exudes the charm of a mature man in his every move.
"Tell me."
Uncle Peppa picked up the mug from the table and took a sip of hot milk.
As an "old man" who has been in the workplace for many years, he prefers milk to coffee.
In the drawer on the left side of the office, two types of life cards are placed all year round.
[Refrigerating Storage Card] and [Heating Storage Card].
The functions of both can be compared to refrigerators and microwave ovens.
This configuration can ensure that Uncle Peppa can drink milk at different temperatures throughout the year.
"This time Carp Star Card House has launched two games."
The person who came in was Boss Bai's secretary, Wang Xitian, who had been working with him for many years.
Lao Wang's status within Page Game Company is roughly equal to that of vice president. If it were in the Qing Dynasty, the relationship between Bai and Wang would be a bit like the relationship between the emperor and his father-in-law.
"Two games?"
"Yes." Wang Xitian pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and continued, "According to their newly released posters, the two games are called 'Snake' and 'Minesweeper', and the two games should be sold in a bundle. On the star card."
As a leader in the gaming industry, Page is also sensitive to industry conditions.
The makers of Tetris are unknown in the gaming industry and have never even made a game before, but their debut game has become a hit in recent times.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
Essentially, the two companies' products are not the same.
One is a star power machine similar to a mobile phone, while the other is made of star cards.
But the two are games after all. To be more specific, they are handheld games, which can be regarded as the same track.
Ever since, Carp Star Card House, a rising star, has also become the focus of Page Game Company.
Boss Bai nodded and then asked: "Did they say the release time?"
"Three days later, that is, October 12th." Wang Xitian replied.
Although the Star Card House promotional poster had only been released not long ago, he had done enough homework and collected all the information he could before coming to report.
"Oh?" Uncle Page raised his eyebrows slightly.
October 12th is a relatively sensitive date for their company.
On this day, Page Games will also release a new game.
——Star Force 2.
"Yes, it coincides with the release date of our sequel." Wang Xitian said, the smile on his face was very relaxed, even a little playful.
If two companies release games at the same time, it will inevitably have an impact on the weaker party.
The warm-up of Star Force 2 has been going on for nearly a month. Other companies in the industry have chosen to avoid its edge and delay the release of new games, but only Carp Star Card House is different.
Uncle Page held the milk and said: "I have played Tetris before. As a new game company, this game is already a very good work. I just don't know what new game they can come up with in such a short period of time. "
Boss Bai has been working passionately in the Liangliang industry for more than ten years. It is impossible to say that he does not love games.
As a senior game fan, of course he purchased Star Card Game Console and Tetris, and had in-depth experience in these few days of free time.
The final review was, "Very good, but not hot enough."
Tetris, like Star Force, is a relatively advanced game in the industry, but its lack of content is ultimately a flaw.
In the later stages of the game, there is only unlimited speed-up, unlimited elimination of blocks, and shooting down of enemy planes, but there is no other content and cannot retain players for a long time.
But the difference between the two is that Tetris is the latest work of Carp Star Card House, while Star Force Fighter is already last year’s work.
In the past six months, Page Games did not release any game while the iron was hot, but concentrated on research and polished Star Force 2.
"Yes." Eunuch Wang, no, Secretary Wang pushed up his glasses, feeling a little regretful, "If it were more than half a year ago, they would have had a chance to fight Star Force Fighter, but the playable content of Star Force Fighter 2 is quite different. It’s much richer than the previous work.”
As a sequel, Star Force 2 still maintains the fast pace of the original, and adds a new "first-person mode" that allows players to immerse themselves in the excitement of traveling and fighting in space.
At the same time, in terms of gameplay, Star Force Fighter 2 also added a "transformation system".
Players can obtain materials and money by constantly completing levels. By consuming the two, they can install different weapons and armor on their fighter planes, allowing players to experience "growth" in the game and using this new target sequence to give players It gives them motivation to pass the level, instead of boringly grinding points to pass the level.
This "use your liver to become stronger" gameplay has been used to death in Lu Li's previous life, but in this cold world of the game industry, it is still quite groundbreaking.
In addition, the fan base accumulated from the previous game is also very large, and everyone in the company is confident in this sequel.
Once this sequel is released, it will surely kill gods and Buddhas.
"Should we say that they are newborn calves and are not afraid of tigers, and ignorant people are fearless, or..." Wang Xitian continued to joke.
To be fair, Carp Star Card House really has no chance of fighting against Star Force Fighter 2.
"I hope they come prepared. Only by competing with each other can more interesting games be produced." Uncle Page took another sip of hot milk. "In the past few years, the game industry has been a stagnant water. It really needs a little bit of competition." New people are here to add some energy.”
After releasing several excellent games, Uncle Page has already been close to financial freedom.
For him, money is no longer that important. He hopes that there will be more exciting games in the world.
"You should go back first and keep an eye on our production chain. We can do our best. As for the Carp Star Card House... let's have a fair showdown." As a game fan for more than 20 years, Bai Peiqi still has a childish innocence. Not lost.
In other words, a man remains a boy until he dies?
In short, while he loves playing games and drinking milk, he is also a little bit passionate.
...
...
At the same time, while Page Game Company was busy preparing for the release of the game, Lu Li came to the old campus of Xinghai University.
After nearly a week of closed training, the good news is that the Xinghai training team finally has a holiday. The bad news is that the holiday only lasts for half a day.
So Lu Li chose to come to the old campus to work with classmate Xiao Lin, and at the same time, he shamelessly followed a fat man behind him.
Geng Xiaowen came to Xinghai as an auditor, and he came to recruit talented people for himself. Hearing that his roommate knew a senior classmate, he naturally followed him.
"I'll treat you to this meal!"
The little fat man promised firmly.
