Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

The press conference of "Monkey King: Reincarnation" ended in complete success, and the entire game gained huge attention right from the very beginning.

People have placed extremely high hopes on this game, which has an investment of nearly a billion dollars.

Of course, many people also used this to @Xia Yuan, because many people remembered that Xia Yuan had recently established a game company. Although there was no large-scale publicity, judging from Xia Yuan's current level of attention and popularity, there are quite a few people paying attention to him, and even more people who know about it.

"Why hasn't Xia Yuan made any moves yet? Hasn't he already established a game company? Since he has established a company, he must be developing games, right? But why hasn't there been any progress on the game yet?"

"I don't know, but I always feel that what Xia Yuan creates will definitely not be simple. From movies to TV series to comics, when has anything he created been simple?"

"Some senior bosses have predicted that Xia Yuan and He Ye are likely to develop AAA products instead of online games."

"Fuck, I'm really looking forward to it! Although 3A games don't perform well in the domestic market and can't make as much money as other online games, don't forget that Heye has never cared about the market performance of a project. Even if they know it's a dead end, they will move forward. And the amazing thing is that they can always find the right path in the end and make a lot of money."

"I don't think Heye will develop 3A. After all, this is different from the projects they did before. The projects they did before were basically real-time projects with very short cycles. The longest cycle was making a movie. But this time they are making a game, which is completely different. The development progress of the game is very long, especially this kind of 3A game, which often requires extremely terrifying details to be polished and has a longer development cycle. Any rush will cause a deep decline in quality."

"I don't think it will be 3A either. Even if Heye likes to go against the market, it won't do it this way."

There was a lot of discussion on the Internet, and their speculations soon came to fruition.

Soon, Xia Yuan and He Ye’s official social accounts released relevant news.

First of all, there is news that Heye Games is going to recruit employees on a large scale, targeting the majority of game development practitioners, and has posted the minimum salary.

The minimum salary is no less than 1.5 yuan! All the data are available!
In addition, those who are familiar with large-scale stand-alone game development will be given priority!
Those who know Unreal Engine 5 will be given priority!

"Those who understand Journey to the West culture will be given priority!"

These three priority criteria quickly sparked widespread controversy.

Although this was just a round of recruitment information, Xia Yuan did not even elaborate on their projects or directions.

But many details are enough to give people a glimpse.

One of them in particular: those who are familiar with large-scale stand-alone game developers will be given priority!

Large stand-alone game!

Isn't this a common genre for 3A games?

Although there are online games in 3A, most of the games that truly represent the concept of 3A are still stand-alone games.

Then combined with another point, Unreal Engine 5 will be given priority. This means that Heye Game's products are likely to be developed around this engine.

As one of the most popular and mainstream game engines today, Unreal 5 also undertakes the development tasks of many 3A masterpieces. Basically, a terrifying number of 70% of 3A masterpieces that do not have self-developed engines are developed by Unreal 5.

This detail is enough to explain many problems.

"What the hell? If you look at it this way, it really is a AAA masterpiece?"

"Ahhhhh, Heye is going to develop our own domestic 3A game for Hanxia? Holy shit, my brain is going to melt. Is Xia Yuan really keen on subverting everything he goes to? Is he addicted to saving the industry? First, the film and television industry lagged behind, and he directly reversed the overall quality of Hanxia's film and television in one fell swoop, and even represented it abroad. Then, he directly and forcefully intervened in the personal heroism comic theme that America is proud of. Then, he went against the top film industry capital and filmed an opening ceremony of the Olympic Games that would make Hanxia people proud. Now it's the turn of games?"

"Fuck! The minimum salary is 1.5 yuan, which makes me excited, but unfortunately, I don't know how to make games, and I missed the opportunity to change my life. It hurts! It hurts so much!"

"Another detail is that those who understand Journey to the West culture are given priority. Does this mean that the new game that Heye is about to develop will be based on Journey to the West?"

"It's probably like this. After all, as the first game, the topic is likely to be one with a high audience and a theme that can better represent the Hanxia culture. Then, as one of the four great classics, and a well-known IP worldwide, why not choose the Journey to the West IP? And the more critical point is that the four great classics have all passed the copyright protection period and are public IPs that anyone can use. After all, when Wu Chengen died, he didn't specify who would be the copyright beneficiary! There is no need to pay copyright fees, and there are audiences worldwide. Who else should we choose? Why not?"

While Heye was unable to suppress its plans to develop a 3A game, the construction work was in full swing within Heye Game Company.

Since the job announcement, Heye Games has been directly flooded with a large number of applicants.

There is no way. The unemployment rate is really too high now, all over the world. Haven’t you noticed that no country releases the latest unemployment rate data?
It is because the release of this data can really shake people's hearts.

Many people have not even been able to get enough food to eat in the past few years, which is a real low point in their lives, especially in industries related to the Internet. Many companies have even laid off 80% or more of their employees, retaining only a few technical experts.

There are really a lot of unemployed workers, and many of them are of surprisingly high quality.

Tang Ying was shocked when she saw the applicants with ability values ​​of no less than three stars flashing past her one after another.

The minimum starting point is three stars!
This made her swallow.

Wow, all the applicants here are of this quality. If this were normal, wouldn't they be furious?

Did I have such good luck all along? Did I only recruit people with high ability ratings?
However, this rating system cannot be fully trusted. It can only be used as a reference. After all, the system is just a program, at best an AI, and its judgments on many things cannot be taken seriously.

Otherwise, why would I only give it a one-star review?
Right? Just from this point of view, it doesn't make sense at all.

Does that mean she has a pointy head? Right?
Then let me ask you, are you a boy or a girl? Right? Then let me ask you, if you are a boy, then I ask you.
Therefore, the evaluation system cannot be fully trusted.

And I still have the "road to choose my destiny". (End of this chapter)
