This game is awesome

......

There were a small circle of people sitting in the small conference room, including Gu Qingshi, Luo Jingcong, Li Xiaomeng, An Yan, Xu Qiusheng...

Now it was Luo Zhuce's turn to speak.

"To put it simply, Battlefield has sold 140 million copies. The online mode has been open for more than two weeks, and it still maintains an average of 67 online users per day. This is a very good result."

“How’s the server pressure?”

"New servers are being deployed, but it will cost money."

"Approved. I'll ask Director An to write a charter later. How is the completion of the game's eastern storyline?"

"It's still in production. The development of the online mode is wasting a lot of time."

Luo Jing weighed the report in his hand and put it down.

It feels great to be able to show off in front of an industry leader like Xu Qiu Sheng!

Luo Jing had only felt light and relaxed, and had never felt so comfortable before.

Battlefield has good sales and daily online users, and will definitely be a cash cow for the studio in the future. As the main planner of the Battlefield project, he has made an indelible contribution.

Gu Qingshi had no temper. Basically, if there was a demand and it was reasonable, he would approve it. If there was merit, he would reward it. He never held anyone back and always did things cleanly and neatly.

On the contrary, Xu Qiu Sheng, who was attending the conference for the first time, was not used to this straightforward style.

But to be honest, he doesn't hate this style.

"Director Xu, how is the expansion work of Development Department 2 going?"

Xu Qiusheng perked up and said, "It's done. A total of sixty-three people in the Development Department 2 have all joined the company."

Gu Qingshi nodded to show that she understood.

"Development Team 1 will continue with the development of the battlefield, while Development Team 2 can start developing new projects."

Everyone was concentrating.

An Yan and Luo Jing also knew that their boss approached Xu Qiu Sheng, a big boss, to develop new projects.

How powerful must the new game be to be able to attract a big shot like Xu Qiu Sheng?

An Yan and the others didn't dare to think about it.

"Mr. Gu, although we have sufficient manpower, my understanding of the DND worldview you mentioned is still a bit superficial..." Xu Qiu Sheng tried to choose words as reasonably as possible.

In fact, what he meant was just one sentence:

Boss, what you wrote in the plan is too little, the copywriter can't even write it based on the plan!

Baldur's Gate is not an original creation.

Although there is no DND in this world and fan creation can be very broad, Xu Qiusheng is very clear: when your boss comes up with a new thing and wants you to make it,

You'd better understand your boss's needs.

Otherwise, when you submit the results, you will face more than just minor problems like the client finding fault.

Gu Qingshi understood the hidden meaning in Director Xu's words and laughed out loud.

"Go to the University of Michigan library website later. I've put all the information about the Forgotten Realms and DND there. As for the board game rules... you can refer to the classic TRPGs of the past. You can learn from the Northern Icefield series."

"Northern Icefield" can be regarded as a parallel world version of DND. The rules are very similar, but it draws on Norse mythology rather than the Lord of the Rings. The specific content - such as the world view and monster design - is very different.

"The University of Michigan Library?"

Xu Qiu Sheng was puzzled by the name.

Gu Qingshi waved her hand and said, "I'll go to Director Li for details later."

Everyone in the conference room turned to look at the girl who was sleeping soundly on the table.

Normally she has nothing to do in meetings, so she usually lies down and takes a nap when she arrives at the meeting room, and only turns on her phone when the meeting is over and there is no sound.

A few faint laughs broke the silence.

Li Xiaomeng gradually woke up when she heard no one was talking. She rubbed her eyes and saw that no one was talking. She asked in confusion, "Is the meeting going to end?"

Suddenly the conference room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"The meeting is over today!"

Gu Qingshi made the decision and stood up, "Li Xiaomeng, you stay. I have something to talk to you about."

Chapter 106 [The Anti-Cheating Alliance’s Vision]

"Is something wrong?"

Li Xiaomeng blinked her big eyes and didn't seem to have a very high IQ.

Gu Qingshi was speechless. They specifically asked you to stay. Are you going to play the unspoken rules of the office?

"I have built a new website. Please pick a few people from the development team to do website maintenance and management. We also need to open a few physical stores. Please help us with that."

"Boss, do you think I'm stupid?"

Li Xiaomeng had just finished speaking when she saw Gu Qingshi throwing two punches at her. She immediately covered her head and crouched down to defend herself.

Seeing that Gu Qingshi was not joking, she asked weakly:

"Boss, we are developers, why do we need a website and a physical store?"

Gu Qingshi asked with her hands on her hips, "Isn't it okay if I'm happy?"

Well, as long as you are happy! Money can't buy my happiness!

Li Xiaomeng did not ask any more questions and took on the task hummingly.

She's not that interested in any websites.

It’s just as she said: Fanxing is a game development studio with only two or three games under its umbrella, so there’s no point in making a website.

Most people just look at the manufacturer's page on NGI and don't care about the official website.

As for the physical store, that is even more ridiculous. Most players have played the game Fanxing countless times on their own machines. Why open a physical store? Is it to serve as a high-end Internet cafe for players?

Li Xiaomeng didn't understand and didn't dare to ask.

Gu Qingshi brought in two bottles of drinks from the tea room next door and asked, "How is the Gulang factory going?"

Gu Qingshi was talking about a peripheral factory under Gulang, which not only makes its own peripherals, but also accepts orders for OEM processing.

The overall profitability of the factory is not very good.

"It's a loss! Gulang wanted to use its brand effect to sell at a premium, but was ridiculed by players."

Li Xiaomeng gloated over other people's misfortune.

Gulang's peripherals have always been an 18th-tier brand with little fame, and their target market is poor guys who pursue cost-effectiveness.

——And you end up charging a premium?

Isn't this destroying your own reputation?

"Gulang is now looking for a buyer. Boss, if you act now, you can buy the factory and the brand together for seven or eight million."

"Take it down and let them continue to operate according to the original model. It doesn't matter whether they make money or not, as long as they don't lose money."

Li Xiaomeng nodded slightly and asked in confusion: "Then shouldn't we buy it?"

"Of course it has other uses." Gu Qingshi drank the happy water and burped for a long time.

"There have been cheats for Battlefield online recently. If we don't take good care of it, it will be very detrimental to our operations..."

.......

.......

Sometimes, Gu Qingshi really wanted to ask: "Do those who cheat in online multiplayer games have no parents?"

Cheating is a chronic problem in almost all FPS games.

Because of the different data transmission and processing methods, FPS games have always been plagued by rampant cheating and have been repeatedly banned. Even Tencent's sweeping of the disk, which is a means of taking advantage of the bottom, has heroes who can do it under the nose of the sweeping program.

The eldest brother carried his bag on his back.

At least CF is blocked by Tencent from time to time, but BF1 and BF5 next door have directly entered a state of anarchy.

EA is useless and an accomplice to the evil. In order to save money, it directly gave up the operation of the anti-cheating system. Because of its perfunctory attitude, it has always been said to be "cheating to protect the account."

This has led to a continuous deterioration in the environment of the Asian server, with cheating players flooding the official server, competing fiercely with the private servers that are equipped with anti-cheating plug-ins.

Later, a cyber war broke out: the hacking team provoked the player group and opposed it by attacking the server with hacking tools.

Later, a cyber war broke out in the controversial incident of "official servers adding anti-cheating plug-ins": the cheating team openly issued a "Letter to All Battlefield Cheaters" and a "Letter to All Green Players from the Battlefield Cheat Alliance", bombarding players on all major private servers and attacking private server servers, making it impossible for players to play the game normally...

And they claim in a high-sounding manner: "This is to protect the freedom of all Battlefield players."

In the end, this cyber war came to nothing, and everything returned to normal. The big brother was still acting like a god, and the green player was still hiding in the private server.

Gu Qingshi was stunned at the time. The thief cried thief!

Who are these people!

If you want to ensure the vitality of the player community and maintain the life of the game, then anti-cheating has to be put on the agenda. If necessary, you can even choose to sweep the market like Tencent did.

As for the surprise of friendly countries?

Our own people are suffering here, but you still care about the attitude of your friendly countries, right?

Gu Qingshi’s idea is to form a comprehensive FPS anti-cheating alliance from hardware to software.

Of course, it is impossible to keep all plug-ins out, but in the face of the high cost of plug-ins, the number of plug-in users and makers will inevitably be greatly reduced.

It is difficult to achieve this. It requires three-way cooperation among developers, hardware manufacturers and player groups. The cost is prohibitive for large companies like Yungong and Gulang.
