Chapter 78: These words sound so familiar

The rest area of Nebula Games.

During lunch break, Ruan Ningxue and Yang Xin were leaning on the massage chairs, while people like Qin Yi and others next to them were playing with the claw machine.

"The company's benefits are getting better and better!" Yang Xin said happily, holding a cup of milk tea in his hand.

"The main reason is that the company's capital is getting stronger and stronger, and there are more and more new colleagues. It's really hard to adapt. We are already a big team, right?" Ruan Ningxue also sighed with emotion.

Looking back now, she still feels a little unreal.

This time last year, she was still drawing notebooks at home.

"It's not a large team, it's still a small and medium-sized team," Yang Xin said.

"By the way, Sister Xin, I heard that we are going to attend a gameplay exhibition next time?" Ruan Ningxue said.

"Well, I heard Sister Lin mentioned it, and didn't Mr. Chen go to the exhibition before?" Yang Xin said.

"I have been there before, but only as a spectator. Now we can be the hosts!" Ruan Ningxue said with excitement.

At this time, Qin Yi and others, who finally gave up competing with the claw machine, joined in.

"We are also going to participate in the exhibition, but it will only be about two months. I wonder if Mr. Chen will have any new projects?" Qin Yi looked forward to it.

New projects, this can be said to be something that all employees at Nebula Games are looking forward to.

From a psychological and spiritual level, it is a full sense of accomplishment to create new projects and watch players give various feedbacks.

In terms of material conditions, every new project will be a great success.

The bonuses are huge!

After the success of "Escape" two years ago and "Kitchen" next year, Chen Xu gave them a large bonus.

"It feels like it might be a little too late in terms of time, right?" At this time, a new employee said.

"Yes, two months may be a bit far-fetched, but maybe it is an exhibition after all and not an official sale." The new employees were also discussing.

"You are too young. When the time comes to start the project, you will understand why Mr. Chen was able to succeed!" Qin Yi looked at Fengyun with a smile on his face.

"That's right!" The old employees next to him looked full of admiration.

"Escape" and "Naughty Kitchen" were released in two consecutive games. The unique game development experience, almost the same development efficiency and team management as a bug-free machine program.

It can be said that all the old employees who have experienced all this are about to become Chen Xu’s NC fans.

Everyone was still chatting, but at this time Yang Xin's surprised voice came.

"Look at the work group! We have a meeting in the afternoon to talk about new projects!" Yang Xin waved the hand holding the phone.

"It should be for this game exhibition, right?"

"I wonder what type of new project it is?"

"Will it be a multi-person type? We talked about the company's development direction during the previous meeting?"

"Who knows? Follow Mr. Chen on everything. We'll find out in the afternoon."

Opening the work group and looking at a notice issued by Chen Xu, everyone became excited instantly.

They all speculated about what kind of project they would develop next.

… … …

In the afternoon, employees clocked in one after another.

Chen Xu also brought a laptop and called everyone into the conference room for a meeting.

"I believe everyone has heard some news. This time we will also participate in the gameplay exhibition in May, and we will be the headliner in the sixth exhibition area."

The exhibition area is about 500 square meters, although it is not as big as that of big manufacturers.

But it is also compared to some medium-sized game manufacturers.

This is mainly due to the fact that "To the Moon" previously received an official tour activity, and subsequently launched two very popular games.

After hearing Chen Xu's words, everyone nodded, with a little excitement on their faces.

Chen Xu smiled, and then three folders appeared on the big screen.

They are marked with three different numbers: 1, 2, and 3.

"We have to bring some new things to meet players at this exhibition, but the task may be quite urgent." Chen Xu looked at everyone: "This time, we have to develop two games in a row, and during this period we have to prepare for the follow-up games. A truly masterpiece, and a promotional animation was rushed out.”

"ah!"

Yang Xin, Ruan Ningxue, Qin Yi, and other senior employees of Nebula Games all looked confused.

As for the new employees who have just joined Nebula Games after the new year, they have an expression on their face that looks like you are kidding us.

Two months to produce two games, and also take care of a promotional animation for a masterpiece.

Although everyone knows that the so-called promotional animation for a masterpiece is different from development, this does not need to be included in the scope of work. Most of them just need to design a simple scene, then find a CG animation company, and then produce it.

But the key is two games in two months. How is this possible

The donkeys in this production team can’t produce anything!

Old employees including Ruan Ningxue, Yang Xin, and Qin Yi, who knew Chen Xu's work efficiency well, were also full of doubts.

If it is just a trial DEMO at an exhibition, this is still possible.

But from Chen Xu's tone, it feels like he wants to directly develop all the game content.

Can it be done

Everyone listened to Chen Xu's explanation of the two new games they were about to develop this time with questions.

"The first is the first "Three Kingdoms". This is a strategy card battle game. I have completed the main rules and gameplay. You can take a brief look at it first."

Following Chen Xu's words, the corresponding rules of "Three Kingdoms" appeared on the big screen of the projector.

It also comes with sketches of some generals and cards.

"The game is divided into four different camps: the lord, the rebels, the loyal ministers and the traitors. At the same time, players can freely choose the corresponding Three Kingdoms generals. Each general has specific skills."

"At the same time, the game is divided into three types: basic cards, equipment cards, and tips cards."

Chen Xu briefly explained the basic rules and content of "Three Kingdoms" to help everyone better understand the game.

Due to limited time, Chen Xu did not analyze too much.

However, everyone present was not a novice who didn’t know anything.

Including Ruan Ningxue, she has participated in several projects from last year to now. During this period, she also had a period of recharging. After working with the design draft, she can almost understand it.

Everyone quickly figured out how to play this game, although they still didn’t know what the game experience was like.

But the only thing that can be understood is that this game basically does not require much effort.

The main time-consuming aspects are the dubbing of the game and the production of art materials.

And these can be outsourced.

If one outsourcer can't drive it out, then use two outsourcers.

The development difficulty of "Three Kingdoms" is close to zero. The key point lies in another game and the so-called masterpiece mentioned before.

Everyone looked at Chen Xu and waited for him to announce his next project.

Looking at everyone, Chen Xu had a smile on his face: "The next game will be a game that allows players to relieve their stress and feel unparalleled happiness. It can be said to be quite harmonious and loving."

If the world were a comic book world, then a row of black question marks would have appeared on the foreheads of Ruan Ningxue, Yang Xin, Qin Yi and others.

Why do these words sound so familiar
