Chapter 184 The Internal Controversy of SUPERCELL (Part [-])
Pananen continued: "Does taking a risk mean accepting failure?
With all due respect to your point, taking risks somehow means that we are moving fast.

It doesn't matter even if it really fails, Miss Miku Mikami is from the financial industry.

It should be clear that the probability of failure is much higher than that of success.

We haven't experienced any failures in super cells in the past year.

Doesn't this mean a kind of sadness in a certain way?
Without taking risks, there can be no big opportunities.

I do hope that, in the future, we will have more failures than successes.

If you're lucky, there's probably a [-]/[-] chance of success. "

(ps: The above is not completely fabricated. Pananin has made similar remarks on many occasions, and it has been properly processed.)
Mikami was completely speechless for a long time.

Sure enough, these people in the game industry are crazy.

But Mikami Mikami's long career is doomed that she cannot accept failure.

He looked at Pananin who was about to leave the office.

Mikami gave up the hypocritical etiquette for a long time, and said anxiously: "Mr. Pananin, according to your thinking, your current risky acquisition is an investment in the future. Sorry, I don't quite understand that it involves a casual game. How does the acquisition of you relate to investing in future vehicles.

You'd better explain clearly. When it comes to the game "HILL CLIMB RACING", I have serious reasons to suspect that you are involved in an insider transaction.

Don't make me bring this up to the board of directors, it's not good for everyone, the reason I'm so serious is because I don't want any stains on my career. "

After hearing this, Pananin stopped in his tracks.

secret deal?Fortunately, this lunatic can also imagine it.

But when things got to this point, Pananin had to explain.

Although according to the normal rules within the company, he does not need to explain.

But the charges involving "insider trading" are serious crimes.

Those accused of insider trading in the EU/EU may even face more than five years in prison.

Pananin said: "I can explain, but after I explain, you better apologize for your rude behavior.

And don't bother me with such trivial matters in the future. "

Mikami said for a long time: "Okay, if your motives are really reasonable, I will apologize for my rudeness."

Pananin said: "First of all, have you ever played the game "HILL CLIMB RACING" developed by Gray Forest?"

Mikami said for a long time: "Of course I have played it. You don't think that I have not even played the game "HILL CLIMB RACING" before raising doubts, do you? I still understand the truth that if you don't investigate, you have no right to speak."

It seemed that he was afraid that Pananin would not believe it, so Mikami also clicked on the game "HILL CLIMB RACING" in 5s to show Pananin.

Pananin really took Mikami's mobile phone and looked at it, then Pananin shook his head and said:

"The game HILL CLIMB RACING on your phone is the original version.

No wonder you don't understand the essence of this game developed by GRAY FOREST.

I suggest you try the latest version of the game "HILL CLIMB RACING".

Believe me, as long as you experience the latest version, you should easily understand why I value the value of the game HILL CLIMB RACING so much. "

Mikami searched the Apple App Store soon after, and found that the game "HILL CLIMB RACING" has indeed released a new version.

But what does this mean? The game "HILL CLIMB RACING" has only been uploaded for a few days.

For a casual game, what difference can there be between different versions that are only a few days apart?
It didn't take long for Mikami to feel that Pananin was playing tricks.

However, in line with the attitude of breaking the casserole and asking the end, Mikami Miku is still going to download the new version and try it.

However, just as she was about to do so, Pananin handed over another 5s mobile phone.

The phone appears to be purpose-built for gaming testing.

Pananin said to Mikami: "Don't bother, it just so happens that this phone has the latest version of the game "HILL CLIMB RACING", and you have the old version on your phone.

You might as well try to play both versions at the same time, and carefully understand the difference between the two versions. "

Although it is not clear what the hell Pananin is doing, Mikami has not been willing to try for a long time.

After about 10 minutes of trial play.

Mikami felt that there seemed to be some differences between the two versions of the game "HILL CLIMB RACING".

But Mikami didn't know exactly what was different.

For a moment Mikami felt as if he had been tricked.

Mikami Mijiu felt that the reason why he felt the difference was most likely because of the difference between the two versions implied by Pananin's words.

Under this kind of psychological suggestion, even if there is no difference, there is a high probability that Mikami Miku will notice the difference.

Mikami said to Pananin: "It's just that some new paints and character images have been added to the game. It's not a big change, is it?

I admit that this batch of paint jobs is a little more pleasing than the previous batch of paint jobs.

But that's all. IMHO, these new paints are not even as amazing as those in the previous version when they first appeared.

If what you say is that these changes make you think that this casual game has a value of more than [-] million US dollars, I don't agree with you. "

Pananin sarcastically said: "This is what you found after playing with it for 10 minutes?

Please forgive me too, although your resume is fairly glamorous.

But if it wasn't for the relationship with the benefactor behind you, it would be unqualified for a vase like you to be an ordinary game experiencer.

Not to mention working in a game development company with an excellent past like Supercell. "

After Mikami entered the workplace for a long time, the word he hated to hear the most was "vase".

Is this world so unfair?

People in the same position with good looks are said to be "vases".

On the contrary, those who are ugly are considered to be genuine talents.

Simply outrageous.

Although Mikami suffered from Pananin's cynicism for a long time, Mikami did not retort.

Mikami thought for a long time that the reason for Pananin's cynicism was most likely because he was taken to a pain point, and he was speechless.

If this is the case, then Pananin's hard days are coming.

If you can't explain the deep-seated reasons for this merger.

Even if Paananen will not be implicated in the "insider trading" charges.

It will also be questioned about its capabilities on a wider scale.

The chain reaction triggered by a crisis of confidence is often huge.

Before long, Mikami wanted to see how long Pananin could be so arrogant.

Mikami said: "Mr. Pananin, since you said that I am a bad game experiencer.

Do you have any unique insights into these two different game versions? "

Pananin still had a cold tone: "I can't talk about unique insights. I just discovered some problems that ordinary game experiencers should discover."

Mikami Miku: "You mean I'm not even as good as an ordinary game experiencer?

You are ignorant of this. Before I came to Supercell, I received specialized and systematic game studies in rb.

Some specific understanding of the game may not be comparable to that of a god-level figure, but it can be regarded as a small gain. "

Pananin: "Well, it turns out that you have studied systematically.

So it seems that your island country's game level is not very high.

I originally thought that a country where game developers like Nintendo were born had deep insights into games! "

Mikami Miku: "You can question me, but you can't slander my country, you are too much!"

Pananin: "Am I too much? I can only say that you are really discrediting your country.

What I said earlier was just stating objective facts, Mr. Noble Supervisor, it is really not very good to measure your level from the perspective of a game experiencer.

Haven't you noticed that the game scenes of the two different versions of the game "HILL CLIMB RACING" are very different after trying for so long? "

Hearing this, Mikami laughed: "The scenes you said have changed a lot, do you mean the night scene, rooftop scene, and rainbow scene that appear in the new version of the game?
The reason I didn't mention it on purpose is that I don't think it's a huge difference.

I admit that GRAY FOREST, the developer of the game "HILL CLIMB RACING", is very active in his thinking. , In addition to the Mars scene, three new scenes were conceived.

But what can this explain?

I don't see anything wrong with these new scenes! "

Pananin said: "That's why I said you are useless.

If you don't notice any problems with the newly emerging game scene, it can only show your incompetence.

I sincerely suggest you to work in another industry.

The gaming industry doesn't belong to you.

You plausibly look like a medieval witch.

And the way of gesticulating is like a clown with a clumsy performance. "

The clay figurine was also very angry, humiliating Pananin over and over again.

Mikami couldn't take it anymore.

Just as she was on the brink of eruption, Pananin spoke again:

"Forget it, I'm not in the mood to play decryption games with you.

Since you mentioned the night scene, don't you think the night scene in the new version of the game "HILL CLIMB RACING" is very unusual?

You who became a monk halfway may not be very clear about it.

In the current mobile game development industry, when it comes to some darker scene areas in the game.

Except for high-quality games, general game developers usually avoid these scenarios.

When it comes to editing scenes under low-light conditions, fine-tuning development is very difficult.

Not to mention the almost completely dark scenes like night, it is not easy to develop corresponding game content even in low-light scenes with moonlight.

Maybe you think I am playing tricks, but you can easily know after careful market research:
Except for some main depression or adventure games, the current mobile games rarely engage in these thankless dark scenes.

But in the new version of the game "HILL CLIMB RACING", GRAY FOREST has launched such an alternative scene.

And it's released for free, don't you think it's weird? "

Mikami Miku: "What can this explain? Does it mean that Gray Forest is a maverick developer?"

Pananin: "Ms. Mikami Miku, can your brain circuit be normal?
The reason why game developers avoid dark and light scenes is because they are limited by the game engine.

Dealing with light issues in mainstream game engines is often pretty lame..."

Before Paananen could speak, Mikami interrupted Pananin: "Could you tell me that Gray Forest has a powerful game engine?"

Pananin said, "Why not?"

Mikami Miku continued: "That's why you took the risk and concluded this seemingly loss-making deal with Gray Forest.

Is it because you contrived this brand new game engine? "

Pananin said: "First of all, according to the previous assessment of the financial department, the five-year turnover of the game "HILL CLIMB RACING" can reach 1.4 million US dollars.

Even if the transaction price is 1.1 million US dollars, it is not a loss.

In addition, the conspiracy is too ugly.

I think that if it is true that Gray Forest has a powerful game engine that is ahead of its time.

Then we can work more closely with that person. "

Mikami Miku: "Mr. Paananen, your idea is indeed very groundbreaking.

If Gray Forest really has such a powerful game engine, it is still a wise choice for you to cooperate with him.

But is it possible?
I also know a little about GRAY FOREST.

I have the impression that GRAY FOREST is an individual developer.

Individual developers who want to handle the game engine by themselves are just wishful thinking.

I also learned a lot about the game industry before.

Taking the most common 2D game engine as an example, it must at least include a scene management module, an animation management module, an image display module, a resource management module and other modules.

As far as the scene management module is concerned, this module will provide the management of game entity scenes, and distribute event responses and drawing commands for each scene.

The animation management module is responsible for the analysis of animation resource files, the generation of animation and the flexible control of animation, etc.

In short, generally speaking, when it comes to the development of game engines, it is impossible for an ordinary developer to handle it. "

Pananin said: "Of course I know that even if a professional game engine developer wants to get a brand new game engine, it will take years and months. I know this.

But everything is not certain, maybe there are other technical teams behind GRAY FOREST to support it. "

Mikami Miku: "The dark night scene that appeared in the game "HILL CLIMB RACING" you mentioned earlier.

Most likely it's just that GRAY FOREST just happens to be good there.

And the reason for making it free may just show that this person is showing off his skills.

It does not mean that the development of Gray Forest is supported by a powerful game engine.

I think your statement that Gray Forest has game engine support is very unreliable.

I don't know why you have this idea? "

Pananin said: "Because not only the dark night scene in this game is strange, but also many scenes are very different from other games."
