[Mr. Meng, what’s wrong with your... horror-shooting type? Is there any problem? ]
Manager Lian asked doubtfully. She was curious after hearing Meng Shu's laughter. She immediately thought there was something wrong with such a combination of types.
"No problem, I think it's pretty good. I'm sorry for being a little out of control."
After Meng Shu finished laughing, he immediately returned to his usual expression.
He picked up his coffee, walked to the window, stared at the traffic below, and drank quietly.
[Really? Actually, I personally feel that there is nothing wrong with this type of style, but it’s just a little weird. People on the Internet have also said that shooting games are mainly about relaxing and releasing stress, while horror games are based on your standards and are scary and depressing. The two are obviously in conflict, and I think it's a bit counterproductive to force them together. ]
Manager Lian paused and hesitated when he said something.
But after thinking about it, he still asked.
[...After all, even you have never done this. Except for "Dark Forest", all the released games have chosen between shooting and horror. ]
After Meng Shu heard this, he took a sip of coffee.
He shook his head at this statement.
"Director Lian, this type of combination is indeed okay, so there is nothing to comment on. I just laughed, but I just think their innovation is too late. Although it is a bit aimed at us, I personally admire the idea of Jiyou of."
As he spoke, he looked at the distant scenery, looking at the dark clouds in the sky with a calm expression.
"I hope they can make the game as scheduled. In this way, it can be regarded as a contribution to the game industry and promote the market of this horror game."
Manager Lian was stunned on the spot.
What is this nonsense?
As a boss, if you don't prioritize your own interests, why are you speaking out against your opponents?
[Mr. Meng, I don’t quite understand what you mean. Judging from the new games currently announced by Jiyou, they are unique combination innovations on the market. This alone has attracted the support of many players. This is strong competition for us, and it is likely to affect the sales of your next game! ]
Meng Shu raised his lips when he heard this.
"To be honest, as one of the top game manufacturers in China, if Giyu cannot even enter the horror market due to its own hard power, then I really think highly of them."
With that said, he sat back on the office chair and put down the cup.
"As for the sales problem, if it really affects them, it only shows that they are really capable. Let their works speak for themselves and win the reputation of players with the quality of their works. I have nothing to criticize."
Manager Lian was immediately dumbfounded.
She has always felt that this boss Meng is different.
But I didn't expect it to be so different.
People are targeting you secretly, but you still praise them for their abilities. Aren't you worried that their games will affect the sales of your next game?
If it were Mr. Liang of his own company, faced with this kind of thing, he might have asked the publicity department to announce the game content in advance to fight back!
From the perspective of myself and others, no matter what, we must not allow competitors the opportunity to seize market benefits.
Once they make a move, fight back immediately!
This is a businessman!
This is what makes money!
Therefore, Manager Lian sometimes really feels that Mr. Meng takes things for granted.
However, since he entered the industry, he has always been eccentric, doing things that are niche and unpopular, and relying on his skills to forcefully promote the horror genre that no one cares about.
Therefore, this Mr. Meng is not the kind of person who only knows fantasy, but a person with real ability and vision.
So far, Director Lian can’t understand Mr. Meng’s behavior.
Every time I communicate with him, I gain new insights.
[Mr. Meng, that’s it. We don't know about your new game yet, but it seems like you're already working on it. I would like to ask, can the combination of horror and shooting be realized in the next game? ]
After a pause, she answered immediately.
[The game studio of our Infinite Entertainment headquarters has rich experience in FPS development, so I would like to inquire whether it is possible for us to conduct a joint development. Using your level of horror game production and our experience in shooting games from Infinite Online Entertainment, can you add such a mechanism to your next work? ]
Hearing such words, Meng Shu refused immediately without even thinking about it.
"Director Lian, this is not a technical problem. Our company is the only one in the world that is doing VR. Our game engine took ten years to develop. We have strong technical capabilities. Don't worry, so there is no need for joint development."
"Our first two VR games didn't have a combat system. It's not because it can't be done, or because it's difficult. It's just that we don't want to do it, and we don't want the combat to ruin the overall atmosphere and rhythm of the game."
"However, my next game will also include a shooting mechanism, but it has not been announced. Consumers don't know about it, including you."
Manager Lian was startled for a moment after hearing this.
The person on the other end of the phone opened his mouth, thought about it, and sighed slightly.
[Mr. Meng, since your development team can do it, you should announce the news as soon as possible. As a result, Jiyou has taken the lead and is the first to meet the expectations of players. Since we have had this innovative idea for a long time, we should talk about it first... sigh. ]
After Meng Shu heard this, he shook his head.
He felt very pitiful.
In this parallel world, both horror and shooting can become an 'innovation'.
This shows how barren the subject matter is in this industry.
There are obviously two types that already exist, but just combining them together makes them a new style?
After Meng Shu heard the news, besides laughing, he was also a little sad.
Laughing, I am laughing at the backwardness of this industry. It is really ridiculous that combination types can become innovations.
It's sad, it's sad about the development of this industry. Over the past few decades, we don't even know this. It's really sad.
Regarding the skewed development of this industry, Meng Shu did not intend to lead it even if he had the system and the ideas of the original world.
Meng Shu believes that if he wants to engage in 'innovation', he can do it easily.
Have people in this world ever seen zombies?
Do you know about Alien?
Have you ever experienced driving a mecha?
Have you ever enjoyed the feeling of traveling in the universe?
No.
So when it comes to 'innovation', Meng Shu can do it casually.
But he is just an ordinary person, and he cannot be the savior of this industry.
He just wants to play games and make money in this world so that he can be carefree for the rest of his life and enjoy his old age in peace.
He no longer wants to experience the overt and covert battles in the business world, nor does he want to have to worry about the company's market value and profits, nor does he want to participate in dinner parties where intrigues and intrigues are hidden behind the scenes.
Now, he runs a small company and plays niche games, which is comfortable, relaxed and stable.
Why don't you think about competing with other companies for this or that?
Haven't you had enough of the kind of life you had in the past?
No, he's had enough.
"Director Lian, let me tell you this. I make games just to entertain players. I don't want to compete with other manufacturers, and I don't have any idea. So it's good for you to announce it first, but it doesn't matter to me. "
"Moreover, it is a good thing for domestic companies to innovate."
"In recent decades, the development of horror games has been unsatisfactory. Both at home and abroad, everyone is following the trend and making mainstream guns, cars, and ball games. Even RPGs are rarely seen, which shows that most manufacturers just want to make quick money. Nowadays, domestic companies are having a hard time. I have my own ideas and my own innovations. It is the only game of a domestic company. Even if they have something to say, as long as it contributes to the industry and can drive the market forward, then I really have nothing to say."
"Although I am an entrepreneur, I am also a player. From the perspective of a player, I just hope that the entire gaming industry will flourish and be colorful. Instead of being monotonous and deserted, gun racing and ball games."
"This is also the reason why I focus on horror games instead of following the trend of shooting games and other genres. After all, other manufacturers will do it, and I don't want to compete with them."
"but..."
Meng Shu paused for a moment, watching the monkey in the computer developing the engine, and his tone became colder.
"As a leading domestic technology game company, if this new game tries to make a pure shooting game under the guise of a horror game, or it could be a shooting game mixed with the junk horror games from the past. If so. Sorry, the combination of terror and shooting..."
"...I want it."
...
...
After hanging up the phone, Meng Shu picked up the coffee again and took a sip.
Then I put it down, went to V-Bo, and saw the new game promotion of Jiyou.
When he saw the words 'certain manufacturers' and 'putting the cart before the horse' in the article, he couldn't help but laugh out loud again.
Jiyou, ah Jiyou, you are one of the best game companies in China in this world.
In order to enter the horror game market and open up this segment of players, you have successfully 'innovated'.
This kind of spirit and behavior deserves support.
I don’t know what your game is like, but it’s best to be as scary and refreshing as you say.
But if it is selling dog meat at the expense of sheep, focusing on shooting and half-heartedly focusing on horror, it will once again ruin the reputation of this market.
Then let me do your 'innovation'.
I'll let the gaming industry as a whole take a look.
What is the fear of not even firing a shot even if you get a weapon?
What is the panic of "having a gun but worrying about bullets".
