Chapter 107: Chapter 105: New Game?!
Trantor: 549690339
In the virtual world of “Assassins’ Alliance”, it was still that familiar cafe.
As soon as he sat down, Randall asked impatiently, “Boss, the multi-tform version of ‘Traveler of the Wind’ , are we pushing it to next year or the year after?”
In Randall’s view, the longer it can be dyed, the better. Ideally, it would be dyed until the sales of Mirage ceasepletely.
As for the dissatisfaction of the yers, as time drags on, this topic would be just another daily post in the yer’s circle.
There would be anger, but the impact would not be significant.
“Oh, you guys don’t need to worry about that, just leave it to me. It won’t take more than a few days.” Lincoln responded casually.
“Huh?” Randall and Little Chun widened their eyes, looking at him with surprise.
“Boss, this might reduce the sales of Mirage, you know that, right?” Even Randall, who had been very confident in Lincoln’s wisdom, couldn’t help but doubt.
Do you really need to be this honest?
Even if you value promises and have vowed to do what you promised to the yers, there’s no need to rush, right?
Being this honest will make you an easy target for others!
“I know. Rx, I’m well aware.” Lincoln assured them with a nod, indicating that he was fully conscious.
“Then why are you in such a hurry? By reducing the sales of Mirage, aren’t you just falling into other people’s traps?” Randall was genuinely confused.
“No matter who arranged this, um, I think it’s most likely NetDragon’s doing. Even though I have no evidence, let’s assume it’s them. Do you guys think they will stop if they don’t achieve their goal?”
“They probably…won’t.” Randall’s face darkened.
“Right, they won’t sit by and let us muddle through by dy tactics. As long as their goal is not met, they won’t stop. If they see an opportunity, maybe even more bigpanies will join in to tarnish our reputation.”
“So you would rather lose some potential sales of Mirage, in order to wrap up this matter as soon as possible?”
“It is indeed necessary to release the multi-tform version of ‘Traveler of the Wind’ as soon as possible, but to wrap up the matter?” Lincoln let out a disdainfulugh, “Are you joking? Do I look like the kind of person who would just quietly ept a loss?”
Without thinking, Randall muttered to himself: I don’t know if you would ept a loss or not, but you are definitely not the silent type…
Whoever messes with you will be first hung on the public shame pole of the
Inte.
Even Randall felt that Lincoln’s biggest pleasure was this, exceeding the oue of the matter itself.
He easily gave people a feeling of, “As long as I can humiliate you, I don’t care about winning or losing.”
Just, very hard to mess with.
“So what is your n?” Little Chun butted in. “Give them a reason, a reason to definitely buy Mirage!”
“What reason?”
Lincoln pped the table, “This.”
With Lincoln’s p, the material of the desktop changed, quickly changing from wood to ss.
Then, images began to appear on the ss.
In the middle of a forestposed of pure white giant trees, a small patch of greennd appeared in the lingering clouds. In the middle of the green area, there was a small pink and purpleke. Countless paper airnes lined up, flying from the depths of the forest, circling the smallke, and then returning to the depths of the forest.
In the very middle of the smallke, two little figures, one in a yellow and the other in a green cloak, raised their arms and looked up at a burning candle in the sky.
It was the light of the candle that illuminated this forest.
Finally, two words slowly emerged in the middle of the image — “Light Encounter”.
“What is this?” Little Chun, looking at the two little figures in the picture, immediately fell in love with this adorable art style.
“A new game?” Randall also asked with interest.
“Yes, a new game. The sister-title of ‘Traveler of the Wind’, ‘Light Encounter’.” Lincoln was straightforward about it.
“Its gamey and core principles continue in the vein of ‘Traveler of the Wind’ , but with a stronger focus on long-term operation, diverse gamey, enhanced social elements, and stickiness that far surpasses. The goal is to get yers hooked, to want to keep ying and to want to invite friends to y along, potentially for several years.”
Lincoln turned to Little Chun, “I can create the framework for the map, but this game is different from ‘Traveler of the Wind’. While the gamey follows in the same vein, its core pleasures are different. We need to design a lot of different outfit appearances, special actions, toys, furniture, decorations, special sound effects, etc. The importance of these factors is by no means lesser than the map.”
“What do you mean?” Anticipation shone in Little Chun’s eyes.
“I hope you can take charge of this project, Cloud Dream will provide you with full support, feel free to develop it as you will. For technical issues, you can consult with the technicians, and if they can’t solve them,e to me. For staffing issues, you can get in touch with Old Qin, or directly recruit new talent through Sister Qiao. We can recruit in the virtual world, and if there isn’t enough talent avable, we’ll train interns. We’ll ensure you have enough personnel.”
“No problem!” Little Chun agreed instantly and seemed ready to start immediately.
But Lincoln stopped her, “Hold on, I haven’t finishedying out my requests.”
“Go on.”
Lincoln was solemn, “You’re not allowed to work overtime, especially at the cost of dying physical rehabilitation and treatment. Or else Old Qin is going to hate me.”
Randall, sitting next to Little Chun, gave a bitter smile.
Little Chun stretched out her hand,fortingly patting Randall’s hand.
“Don’t worry, I want to spend more years with Yun Song too, I’ll definitely be careful.”
Yun Song was the nickname and username Randall went by in his student years, and Little Chun was already ustomed to referring to him by that name.
“Alright then. You’ll be the chief nner for this game, and I’ll have Sister Qiao allocate personnel for you as soon as possible.”
Still not entirely convinced, Lincoln added, ‘You should primarily y a coordinating and managerial role. Delegate as much of the work as possible and don’t stress yourself out.”
“Don’t worry,” Little Chun agreed readily, “Where’s the n? Can you give it to me now?”
“This is much better than a n.” Lincoln handed over a portable console to Little Chun after he finished speaking.
Little Chun looked perplexed as she took the console.
The console has beenpletely marginalized in this world. Except for a very small circle of enthusiasts _ it’s scarce in one anywhere else
She awkwardly manipted the console, opening the only game on it.
After he announcedst night, Lincoln decided to develop this game.
But he was too busy to handle it, and while Mavis’ help made sorting out the environment map easy, “Light Encounter” and “Traveler of the Wind” are different. It’s a strongly social, long-term operational game that requires a constant output of novel toys, good-looking appearances, etc.
Moreover, it needs to shift from the mobile tform to virtual reality, and most things require adaptation.
The most direct impact: Many simple actions have be meaningless.
Are yers themselves incapable of waving, bowing, embracing or lying down that they need to buy these actions from you?
Are you going to restrict yers’ actions first and then sell those actions back to them?
If you dare to do that, be ready to be scolded to death by your yers!
Clothing is also a big problem; the clothes for the characters in mobile games and the clothing for real people arepletely different and must be designed from scratch.
At best, it could draw some inspiration from them.
Lincoln neither had the time nor was good at these things, so it was preferable to delegate it to the professionals.
He immediately thought of Little Chun. Little Chun and the new beautician had long finished their work on “Assassin’s Alliance”.
Nowadays, they either perfect the amusement park when they feel inspired, or wander around aimlessly in the world of “Assassin’s Alliance” when they don’t, checking to see if they can add something new.
She is perfectly suited for this task!
So, with Mavis’ help, he quickly created a console version of the game. This allowed them to have a reference during production and prevented the project from going awry..
