Hao Yun! ! !
The moment the name was read out, a smile appeared on Meng Shuhui's face, but Xu Qianshi, who was gloating at the side, had his smile frozen on his face.
Wang Mingfeng who walked backstage was also stunned.
Zhou Zhenyu, who was sitting in the infield, and Li Zongzheng, who was not far away, were also stunned.
There are also anchor Zhang Xiang standing inside and outside the court, and many players behind him...
Mr. Hao from Yunmeng Group!
What the hell? !
Isn’t Yunmeng Games’ entry “Cultivation Simulator”? ?
"Damn it! It's actually the boss!" Li Zongzheng was completely stunned and sat there motionless.
"Mr. Hao..." Liu Ye was also stunned. He didn't expect that the person they had been discussing for a long time was actually the boss of his company!
"It saves trouble now," Du Ziteng said with a subtle expression, "We all work for him, so we don't have to think about how to lure him into our company."
"I didn't expect Mr. Hao to be able to design games..." Jiang Lecheng said with emotion.
"I'm not surprised by this... Do you know about 2048? It was designed by Mr. Hao." Du Ziteng sighed and continued, "I just didn't expect that the magic tower was also designed by him."
The players in the audience have gone crazy.
“The CEO of Yunmeng Group also participated?!”
"Paralysis! The first three and two are from Yunmeng Games!"
"This is going to dominate the rankings! Damn it!"
"Foul!" Zhou Zhenyu yelled desperately, the expression on his face was almost crazy, "Repeated participation in Yunmeng Games! This is naked cheating!"
The assistant sitting next to him didn't dare to say anything, with a desperate expression on his face.
Ruined.
It's not just the Dragon King who's on the street.
My boss is also crazy!
Meanwhile, on stage.
Hao Yun walked to the stage and stood still.
Facing the confused eyes in the audience and the doubts coming from afar, he smiled shyly after taking the microphone from the host and spoke in a gentle tone.
"First of all, I have to say sorry to my employees... I didn't tell anyone about my participation this time. It was purely out of my personal interest."
"Many players standing here probably know me because of 2048. In fact, I have always considered myself a game designer, and I have always felt that designing games is what I really love compared to being a chairman or president. cause."
"So, this time I signed up to compete in my own name."
Meng Shuhui, who was sitting at the judges' table, nodded and said with approval.
"The rules of the competition do stipulate that the same production team can only submit one entry, but it does not restrict game designers who participate in the competition as individuals... as long as the work he submits meets the exhibition standards of the game show."
This sentence settled all the controversy.
Even Zhou Zhenyu, who was full of anger, had to accept this result.
After all, the man who said this is arguably the father of modern video games, and the source code he provided is used in almost all engines used in games today.
In terms of ability and influence, Master Meng is a veteran figure in the entire Xia Kingdom and even the world's gaming industry, far beyond the reach of a game producer with only a few years of experience.
Hearing Meng Shuhui's voice, Hao Yun turned around and nodded slightly, smiling and expressing his respect to the old man.
"First of all, thank you, Teacher Meng Shuhui, for your evaluation of me!"
"Actually, to be honest, I feel that my work is far from as exaggerated as Master Meng said. At most, I have done some detailed work in numerical design. Magic Tower is an excellent game, but it is not perfect. There are also many visible shortcomings, and I believe that many players who have experienced countless games know this better than me."
As he spoke, Hao Yun looked at the players in the audience, paused for a moment, then smiled and continued.
"To be honest, I didn't prepare an acceptance speech. To be recognized by the Golden Keyboard is probably more of an accident than a thrill."
"To thank everyone for your support, I will put the official version of Magic Tower on the official website of Yunmeng Games for free, and provide free update services."
"In addition, I will open the 'Creative Workshop' function in the official version."
"Welcome all players to come to our community and contribute to building our own magic tower!"
Damn it
The magic tower doesn’t require any money
The game producers and players in the audience all had surprised expressions on their faces.
What is this operation? !
Many people were still discussing before that if the Magic Tower released the full version directly on the official website of the Shanghai Game Show, wouldn't the sales of the official version be overwhelming
As a result, people don't want money anymore, which has surprised countless people.
Xu Qianshi, who was sitting on the judges' bench, his eyes lit up slightly, and he secretly praised "Master" in his heart.
Although he didn't know what this creative workshop was, he could tell at a glance that Yunmeng Games planned to operate this game based on Internet thinking by directly releasing the official version for free.
Just like 2048 at that time.
When the game's traffic reaches a certain level, the method of monetization is not just "pay one hand and deliver the goods". Whether it is leeks that increase daily activity and cut off users through advertising fees, or directly package and sell leeks to listed companies to cut off shareholders, it is a more imaginative approach.
"Not bad," Xu Qianshi nodded secretly and said in approval, "It seems that this guy is also making progress!"
While I am learning the creative ideas of Yunmeng Games, I am also learning my own Internet thinking.
Xu Qianshi subconsciously regarded Hao Yun's move as being influenced by him, and at the same time, he silently increased the target price of Yunmeng Games by 100 million.
Although he knew that even if the other party paid 600 million, it would be impossible to sell it, this did not prevent him from using valuation to rate the companies he was optimistic about.
Sometimes this feeling is better than daydreaming.
At the same time, on the other side, Li Zongzheng frowned and touched his chin thoughtfully.
Noticing the expression on Mr. Li's face, Du Ziteng, who was sitting aside, reached out and poked his arm and asked curiously.
"Mr. Li, is there still time for our team building trip to Sanya?"
"Yes," Li Zongzheng looked back at him and asked strangely, "Why do you ask?"
"It's nothing. Just seeing the solemn look on your face, I thought our team building was cancelled." Du Ziteng said with an embarrassed smile.
"It's really superficial. Is this kind of thing worth thinking about?" Li Zongzheng shook his head and continued, "I was thinking about what the boss said."
Jiang Lexeng asked curiously: "Which sentence are you referring to?"
"The creative workshop," Li Zongzheng said thoughtfully, "allows players to freely use their creativity to build magic towers... This idea seems interesting, and it seems that it can be used in our immortal cultivation simulator."
Jiang Lecheng was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully.
"We are originally a sandbox game, and the selling point is to create your own world."
"No, you didn't understand what I meant," Li Zongzheng shook his head and continued, "What I mean is that we can do it more thoroughly, not only opening up the existing functions, but also adding the function of editing games. Open to players. Whether it’s the plot, character modeling... or even the game function itself.”
After hearing this, Liu Ye, who was sitting aside, hesitated for a moment.
"Is this okay?"
The current results of the Immortal Cultivation Simulator are already very good. Taking advantage of the current popularity, it is directly put on the shelves for sale. There is almost no doubt that it will be a big seller. If such a big change was made to the game now...
It's hard to say whether it will have an impact on the game's sales by then.
Li Zongzheng sighed, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"I do not know either."
"Let's talk to the boss when we get back."
