Views:

The youpy exhibition this time is in the New World Expo Center in Shanghai. It is divided into three large areas: n area, area and e area. There are a total of 14 large exhibition halls. The relatively large game companies are concentrated in n1 to n3www..lā

There are Chinese game companies, operators, and foreign game companies here, as well as theme pavilions of game-related companies. Basically, companies that have a little bit of a relationship with games, influential companies are trying to find a seat to participate in this event. exhibition.

The exhibition booth arranged by the gaming committee for Chen Mo is in the n2 exhibition hall, which is basically the best area, and it happens to be next to Dichao Huyu.

Because the scale of Leiting Huyu is relatively small, and there are fewer games developed, the booth is much smaller than those of those big companies, but the location is good. Obviously, Minister Qiao has taken care of it specially, otherwise it would be impossible at this time. There is such a good position reserved for Chen Mo.

On the Internet, the staff sent the photos of the scene and the floor plan of the booth to Chen Mo for viewing.

"Just this area, let's see how it is arranged."

Chen Mo roughly looked at the floor plan of the exhibition hall, and said, "Okay, I have a general idea, how about this, I will come up with a plan for you later, and you can arrange it."

The staff replied: "Yes, but I mainly arrange some necessary equipment for you here, and irl can also contact you, but like sculptures, irl's clothing, etc., if you want to make something suitable for the game If you have special features, you have to prepare yourself.”

Chen Mo replied: "Well, of course."

He outlined another large booth in the same exhibition hall on the floor plan: "Is this the booth of Emperor Interactive Entertainment?"

The staff replied: "Yes, Emperor Interactive Entertainment is the largest game company in this area. It exhibits the most games, so it occupies the largest area, accounting for half of the entire exhibition hall. Zen Interactive Entertainment is in another hall, which also occupies most of the exhibition hall. a showroom."

Chen Mo nodded. Indeed, these two companies have too many games and occupy a very large area. There are also areas for various games, one for mobile games, one for end games, and one for vr games.

Moreover, judging from the photos at the scene, there are still a large number of staff busy arranging various posters, equipment and the like.

Chen Mo: "Okay, I probably know the layout of this booth, I'll give you a layout plan when I go back."

The staff replied: "Okay, by the way, I want to ask you, do you have any new games to participate in the exhibition this time?"

Chen Mo was taken aback: "New game?"

Staff: "That's right, because most game companies will arrange some new games that have not been launched at the exhibition for players to play in order to create a gimmick. If they are old games, then players have already played them, and they will definitely not be interested. .”

"Of course, old games are fine, and it's okay to open up some rare characters, cards, etc. for players to play, but it's best to have new games."

Chen Mo understood: "Oh, that's what it means. Okay, let me think about it."

The staff sent a "sweaty" emoji: "Think about it? You don't have a new game that you are developing right now? It's only a month before the exhibition will start, and it's too late for you to develop this game. A It’s difficult to even be a deo in a month, right?”

Chen Mo laughed, "You don't have to worry about that."

The staff replied: "Okay, then you should prepare well. Besides, if you have time, you should come to Shanghai to see for yourself. Some things can't be explained on the phone."

Chen Mo: "Okay, I'll go to Shanghai after I arrange things here, you make arrangements first."

After asking about the booth, Chen Mo first planned the specific layout of the booth, and then ordered some sculptures, spy clothes and so on.

In fact, going back and forth to the booth was just that. Although Chen Mo didn't have many games, all of them were high-quality games.

Especially "Warcraft" and "Onmyoji" are very suitable for booths. Chen Mo planned and divided his booth a little bit, mainly focusing on "Warcraft" and "Onmyoji". Games are the main thing, and the environment of the booth and irl's clothing are all arranged around these two games.

But what the staff said is right, the exhibitors really have to release some new games, otherwise the players will come over to see irl, you have to have games for the players to play.

But Chen Mo didn't have any new games on hand now, and there was only one month left, and Su Jinyu and the others had work to do, so they couldn't delay the recruitment.

With such a short amount of time, it would be difficult to even make a mobile game, let alone a blockbuster masterpiece.

Chen Mo thought for a while, let's make a casual puzzle mobile game for everyone to play.

Just do what you say, Chen Mo is writing design documents while arranging things for the booth. Anyway, this time it is a relatively simple puzzle game, and the difficulty basically lies in the level, so Chen Mo doesn't plan to bother Su Jinyu and the others, and he can do it by himself.

A month passed quickly.

During this time, Su Jinyu, Zheng Hongxi, and Qian Kun are basically busy recruiting. They have been recruited according to Chen Mo's requirements, and they are only a few big names away, but they should be coming soon. .

Although the candidate has been confirmed, the time until now is rather embarrassing. Many people are thinking about waiting until the next year, getting the year-end bonus, and leaving the original company after taking their annual leave.

It just so happened that Chen Mo didn't plan to make troubles here a year ago, so he arranged for everyone to join the job after the year.

The new office location has also been arranged, but the cafe next to it has been remodeled. The overall environment is very good, and it is no problem to use it as a temporary office space.

Experience the store.

Su Jinyu stretched her waist: "We are about to usher in a large wave of new colleagues, and we are still a bit uncomfortable. We will also be a large team in the future?"

Qian Kun said: "Yeah, the store manager is rich now, the three of us used to work too hard to make those games, it's better to recruit more people, so that it will be faster to make large-scale games in the future."

Wen Lingwei asked: "Hey, it feels like I haven't seen the store manager for a long time, what about others?"

Su Jinyu shook her head: "I don't know, he seems to have gone to Shanghai, I don't know what it is."

Chang Xiuya asked: "Speaking of Shanghai, it seems that in a few days it will be the youpy game exhibition in Shanghai. Are you going? Several of our classmates have already grabbed tickets."

Su Jinyu said: "Whether we go or not depends on whether the store manager will give us a holiday!"

Wen Lingwei said: "Then it must be a holiday. Now that you haven't developed any new projects, wouldn't it be appropriate to go to a game exhibition?"

Qian Kun waved his hand: "Don't think about it, I checked it two days ago, and the tickets were all sold out, and it's too late to buy now."

Chang Xiuya nodded and said: "Yes, my classmates bought the tickets as soon as they opened, there is no way, this exhibition is too hot, and there are many scalpers selling tickets, it is a bit late to buy tickets now .”

Qian Kun said: "If you don't go, don't go. Anyway, there are those routines back and forth, and there is nothing new."

While everyone was talking, Su Jinyu's cell phone rang, and it was from Chen Mo.

Su Jinyu quickly picked it up: "Hello? The store manager. Huh? Book a high-speed rail ticket to go to Shanghai? Participate in the youpy game exhibition?"

Everyone was in high spirits when they heard about the game show, and they said they were going just now, but Chen Mo really wanted everyone to play

"But the store manager, I can't buy tickets now. What, you have free tickets in your hand, and there are many more? Haha, store manager, why didn't you tell me earlier, okay, I'll book high-speed rail tickets for everyone right now!"

After hanging up the phone, Su Jinyu also became excited: "The store manager said that he has an official free ticket for the youpy game exhibition in his hand, let us take the high-speed train to Shanghai, and he will reimburse all expenses!"
