The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 2 Can it still be like this?

As soon as Xu Meng's doubts emerged, new information emerged again -

[Owned company: Dream Game Network Technology Co., Ltd.]

[The number of employees exceeds 100, and the task is exceeded]

【mission completed! 】

[Basic reward: 200 million cash value cryptocurrency]

[Extra Reward: Intelligent Collaborative Development Tools]

[Rewards have been distributed]

【Mission Update——】

[Luckily, you picked up a company; unfortunately, this company is about to disappear. ]

[Mission: Turn danger into safety]

[Mission Objective: Reverse the deteriorating reputation and revenue of "Frost and Snow Project" and save the company from bankruptcy crisis]

……

The light curtain disappeared.

Xu Meng was stunned for a moment, and then wanted to slam the table in disappointment.

Isn't this useless?!
200 million is not a small amount of money.

If he were still in the original world, he would be happy for at least a month.

After all, building a game company from scratch is mostly a studio model, with no more than 10 people.

200 million is enough to pay a year's salary.

But in building dreams, you can only extend your life by one more month.

The same goes for more advanced development tools, which simply improve work efficiency.

But the problem that Dream Building is facing now cannot be solved in one or two months - how to raise a substandard shooting game to a first-class level in two months?
Isn't this a joke? !

The media and peers have already sentenced Dream Building to death, and even the players have begun to give up.

Assistant Chen Mengling saw Xu Meng's unhappy face and thought he was angry about the hot search, so she quickly comforted him:

"Boss, don't worry. There are only two or three people who secretly submitted their resumes. Most of them are still very loyal!"

Xu Meng looked up at the assistant, and a question mark slowly appeared on his head.

If you can’t speak, you don’t have to speak!

If you, the assistant to the general manager, have heard the rumors, then the actual situation must be much more serious!
"I know, I know. You go and do your own thing first." Xu Meng waved his hand.

"Oh, okay." The assistant looked worried, but had no choice but to leave the office.

Xu Meng opened his computer with a headache and studied his own "Frost and Snow Project" to see what the situation was and whether there was any hope.

Judging from the initial project establishment, "Frost and Snow Project" saw that there were no [2D + shooting] type games on the market, and wanted to seize this relatively blank track.

The idea is good, but the final product...

Neither 2D nor shooting.

As for shooting games, it doesn't involve online multiplayer, competitive games, or serious research on the feel of shooting.

They are concentrating on studying how to block player resources and how to design BOSS and gun values ​​to force players to spend money.

Speaking of the second dimension, it didn't work hard on the character design and appearance of the beautiful girl, but instead created a bunch of unnecessary plots and paired the male and female characters in the game together...

The three female characters with the most important roles in the opening scenes - Tongque, Heyin and Xiao Ningxi, actually both have obvious favorable conversations with male characters!
Only little Ning Xi was left, and she escaped because of her young age.

——Even so, little Ning Xi also has a close master of the opposite sex, Yun Fei.

This made Xu Meng's mind full of question marks:

Are you sick?
Whose 2D design is like this?

Others make games by playing to their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses, but you play to your weaknesses and avoid your strengths. You use whatever is worst, right?
If you don't die violently, who will? !

Xu Meng only felt his blood pressure rising and his head splitting.

He suddenly understood why the game he developed in his previous life to take advantage of the popularity of the game was able to succeed.

——Although I am trying to take advantage of the popularity, I always think from the player's perspective when designing the game, studying how to make it fun and how to give players surprises.

So there are so many game designers who don’t care what players think?

What’s even more amazing is that now under his command, there are all these talented people!

Xu Meng was speechless and even wanted to laugh.

"Okay, okay... let's play it this way, right..." The best way to change a game's reputation is to improve its quality through hard power. Just forget about it, it's impossible in a short period of time.

"Then we can only...take an unconventional approach."

He has seen two-dimensional shooting games come back to life before.

Although the method is a bit unsavory and will inevitably be called vulgar by some moral guardians, it is better than the company going bankrupt, employees losing their jobs, and oneself taking out tens of millions of loans.

He then logged into the official account of "Frost and Snow Project" and started writing the announcement while thinking.

……

……

10 minutes later, Weiguang social platform.

The official account of "Frost and Snow Project" released an announcement.

Because the prediction of Game Observation’s bankruptcy became a hot topic, a large number of media and netizens were waiting for a response from Project Frost & Snow.

[Game Observation] Online arguments with the companies they predicted would go bankrupt are also a regular feature, and every time they do, they attract a large number of netizens to watch the fun, and this time is no exception.

Now that "Frost and Snow Project" has finally been accepted, netizens who want to watch the show immediately flocked to it.

Then, I saw something that was totally beyond my expectations.

“Thank you for your interest in Project Frost and Dream Building Games.

But this is just a small matter and it's not worth making a fuss about it or calling everyone in.

But since we are here now, I would like to take this opportunity to announce something so that your trip is not in vain.

The remake process of Project Frost and Snow has begun, and some of the changes that can be disclosed are as follows:
1. Plot changes:
All character CP settings have been deleted, and no such content will be produced in the future.

(Note: The writing team has been replaced by new blood. We sincerely recruit game writing planners and male harem novel writers to join the writing team.)
2. Character Dress-up:
All female characters have been completely re-dressed, and more costumes that can fully display the characters' figures and personal aesthetics will continue to be launched in the future.

Male characters that are not related to the main storyline will be deleted, and the relevant characters will also be changed to female characters.

(Note: We sincerely recruit original artists. All employees of Dream Building warmly welcome beautiful girl book artists to join us!)
3. Grading promotion:
We regret to announce that...

Due to the issues with character body shape, clothing, and action scale after the reset, the rating of "Frost and Snow Plan" will be raised from the original [12+] to [18+].

From now on, users under the age of 18 will no longer be able to register.

After the version update, registered users under the age of 18 will not be able to log in.

The refund channel for minors will be launched within a week.

More information about the changes will be gradually released later, so stay tuned! 」
-
Everyone who saw the announcement - whether they were editors of [Game Observation], colleagues in the industry, players of "Frost and Snow Project", or pure spectators on the Internet - were all shocked.

The same words kept running through their heads:

“What kind of operation is this???”

can't read!
I can't understand it at all!
Shouldn't you strongly refute the views of [Game Observation], angrily denounce their false data and fabricated rumors, demand that [Game Observation] apologize for the losses caused to Dream Building Game by its erroneous remarks, and threaten to resort to legal means, but in fact you can do nothing but make threats?

——Netizens can watch similar dramas seven or eight times a year, and they have become very familiar with them!
Why did the Dream Building Game suddenly go against the grain? ?

Not only are you not angry, but you also took the opportunity to issue an announcement?

and……

Do you want to see what you posted?

When netizens came to their senses, the comment section exploded:
"The copywriting team is sacrificing to heaven now?"

"Good death! So satisfying! But what's the point of recruiting harem writers?"

"Is this a hint that I can start a harem in the game in the future!?"

"I know a guy who writes harem novels. He writes really well, but three of his books have failed in a row and he can barely make ends meet. @转轮者, come and beg for food!"

"Gender reversal of roles? Awesome! I can only say it's really awesome!"

"Change clothes, 18+, book artist...are you going to take off your armor? Get better, brothers!"

"Genius! Two-dimensional games should have learned from hentai long ago."

……

……

It's not just the Internet that's buzzing.

Separated from the general manager's office where Xu Meng worked, the open office area quickly became noisy.

The most lively group among them is undoubtedly the copywriting team who slack off at work and make the most of their time.

As they were brushing their teeth, they suddenly found themselves fired...
