Let you make games, you directly shoot blockbusters?.

Chapter 209 Can this be abducted?

"Mr. Chen, I want to ask, what is the specific direction of our new game this time?"

After Chen Lin's voice fell, someone asked immediately.

"The direction."

Chen Lin rubbed his chin: "Because the Liming team is going all out to make Red Dead Redemption, only the Liming and online game teams have manpower, so it can't be a game with a long production cycle."

Quality is the main thing, not necessarily how high the picture quality should be.

But the overall content of the gameplay is better, unlike those garbage games that just change the skin and come out to make money, and don't think about making progress.

Say it hard.

As long as the game you make is fun.

Players are willing to pay even if they pay.

"Recently, it seems that platform battle games like Zhanqi are very popular. Several manufacturers have grown up relying on this type of game. How about we make one too?" Lao Li opened the topic first.

Although he has been busy with the follow-up operation of the game, he has also been paying attention to industry trends.

Especially in the past few months, there have been many outstanding games that have become popular in many game categories, and platform battles are one of them.

"Platform battle?"

Chen Lin fell into deep thought.

The first thing he thought of was moba games.

When he seized the online game market before, it's not that he didn't think about making these games.

But after careful consideration, I temporarily gave up.

The reason is simple, plagiarism!

Once he actually makes these games, Penguin and other big companies that occupy the online game market may soon copy one.

Because this kind of game is too easy to copy.

With Honghuang's current player base, although there is no need to be afraid of penguins anymore, the huge number of users of penguins cannot be ignored.

Once it is copied, it is really not certain who will win.

If they enter into a protracted tug of war, it will be even more unfavorable for them with weak capital, and it will only be a wedding dress.

So now is not the best time.

"This type of game is really popular recently, but there are a lot of people doing it, so it's not a good choice."

As if seeing Chen Lin's hesitation, Lao Song on the other side spoke.

After the two big shots finished their speeches, the others started talking one after another.

"The battle flag is actually a derivative of the card. We already have the Slaying Spire, and we just released Yu-Gi-Oh. Wouldn't it be good to make this kind of game?"

"I think it's better to be conservative, so what if you have done it? At least there is an audience, as long as the gameplay is different."

"Won't making another similar game affect the sales of other games?"

"This kind of worry is completely unnecessary. The total number of players of the two games combined will exceed one, and there will always be different audiences."

"us."

In a blink of an eye, the entire conference room became lively.

Employees have a variety of opinions.

Cards and open worlds continue to gain popularity.

RPG, FPS mainstream route.

There are even unpopular love affairs and criminal investigation games.

In short, there are all kinds of things, and Chen Lin couldn't help laughing when he heard it.

He likes this kind of environment where everyone can speak up when they have opinions, which can not only enliven the atmosphere, but also brainstorm ideas.

"Xiao Li, why don't you tell me your opinion?"

At this time, Lao Song suddenly noticed Xiaoli who was writing on the side and was responsible for recording the content of the meeting.

"Huh? Can I give my opinion too?"

Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Chen Lin.

"They all participated in the meeting. Is there anything I can't say? If you have a good idea, you can mention it even if it's not from the production team." Chen Lin said with a smile.

"Uh, this... Actually, I don't have any ideas."

Xiaoli scratched her head with a pen in embarrassment: "That's right. I heard someone say criminal investigation games just now. I think it's good. This kind of game is mainly brain-burning, so it shouldn't be difficult to make?"

Criminal investigation game?

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words.

Especially the team leader who proposed this kind of game made a face.

He just said it out of the mouth just now, wouldn't someone really play this kind of game?
You know, there is not even a game like this on the market.

Yes.

None!

It's either dead, or nobody does it.

No matter how well done it is, it doesn't matter how well designed the case is.

Because the audience is too small!
On the contrary, it is the classification of brothers, puzzle-solving and exploration games that have lasted for a long time, and many games have become popular.

The type of purebred criminal investigation that is as cold as the Arctic Ocean, unless there is a huge innovation, there is no way to bring fire.

"Sister Li, aren't you hurting me? I was just joking just now"

The group leader's entire face fell down.

Seeing this, the others also laughed out loud.

"Don't say it, although this category is a bit cold, it really doesn't have any competitors."

"If others can't do it, it doesn't mean we can't do it."

"That is, you have to have confidence in yourself!"

"Since you want to bring about changes to the market, then be bold and directly do the most unpopular one!"

"Hahaha, stop teasing him."

Laughter kept echoing in the conference room, full of strong ridicule.

But as they talked, they stopped laughing.

Recalling the words that blurted out subconsciously.

Be able to do what ordinary people can't, do what ordinary people can't do, and break new ground.

Isn't that exactly their prehistoric purpose?
And not so long ago.

They just talked about bringing changes to the market.

Those inspiring words, even now, echoed in their minds, causing them to gradually come up with a bold idea.

"Mr. Chen."

Suddenly, a group leader looked at Chen Lin: "Why don't we try it?"

As soon as this remark came out, there was no further objection.

As if there was some kind of tacit understanding, Qi Shushu looked at Chen Lin with anticipation in his eyes.

Yes.

What no one else can do, if they do.

Doesn't it mean that they are stronger than others?
This alone is enough to make them heartbroken.

Anyway, it is only a transitional product, and the investment will not be too much, so it is most suitable for this kind of innovative attempt.

Even the conservative Lao Song surprisingly did not refute this time, but analyzed: "It is indeed suitable to establish our reputation by classifying the unpopular, but the risk is a bit big."

"Ah."

Chen Lin nodded: "That's a good idea. Sometimes unpopularity is just a way of saying it. Maybe it will work in another direction."

It's rare that the employees below have their own ideas, so he naturally doesn't want to refute their independent creativity.

Anyway, I don't plan to make too big a game, even if I lose money, I won't lose much.

If it succeeds, they will also become the first manufacturer with fire classification.

Make sure you don't lose.

After thinking about it, he directly made a decision: "Since this is the case, then it has been decided to make a criminal investigation game! And to be innovative, you all talk about your ideas."

After speaking, he threw the question back again.

The theme is determined, and the next step is much simpler. The employees put forward their opinions while thinking:
"The main reason why this category is cold is that the gameplay audience is too small, and the threshold is too high, so I suggest using a knife on the gameplay."

"Indeed, there are those failure cases. The gameplay of running around to solve the case is obviously not feasible, because various character controls will distract the player's attention, and it will be very tiring after a long time."

"Then why not cancel the outdoors and focus on mental analysis as the main gameplay?"

"In this case, won't it become a boring stand-alone computer sitting on the table reviewing documents and looking for clues?"

"Single-player won't work, so let's do it with multiple people. It's always possible for multiple people to solve the case, right?"

"Multiple people solve the case? Good idea! Why don't we just explode a little bit more and let one or two players play the role of the murderer, and the players pinch each other to increase interaction?"

The employees talked more and more vigorously, as if they had discovered a new world, and their eyes lit up.

Even Chen Lin was shocked by their thoughts.

Isn't multiplayer online, player murderer, and online chokehold the werewolf killing method he is very familiar with?
How the hell can this turn over there?
Sure enough, the decision to let them play freely was the right one.

"not bad!"

Chen Lin spoke directly, admiring.

Everyone stopped discussing after hearing the words, and looked at him with puzzled faces.

"Mr. Chen, have you thought of a good idea?" Lao Li asked.

"I didn't think of it, but the gameplay you just mentioned, I think it's very good."

"You mean multiple people solve the case online?" Lao Song followed up and asked.

"Yes, this is it."

Chen Lin had a smile on his face: "Based on what you just said, I thought of a suitable way to play, multiplayer voice online group rounds, players get random identities and corresponding skills at the beginning of each round, and only you know it, and vote by taking turns to speak Finding the murderer in this way is a kind of board game.”

"board game!?"

Everyone was shocked, but they hadn't thought about it.

After all, the current board games are basically Mahjong, cards and chess.

After recovering, they were all pleasantly surprised.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that!"

"Since you don't want to play outdoors, wouldn't board games be the most suitable?"

"Board games with case-solving, this gameplay is perfect!"

"If you use online voice, you can also increase the interactive attribute!"

"The player directly becomes a victim or even a murderer, using language to deceive and hide his identity. Isn't this sense of substitution and tension directly full?"

The more they talked, the more they discovered the merits of this gameplay.

If it can be done, it will definitely have a huge impact on the board game market, and even change the current board game pattern!

"Not bad, not bad, it's rare that you can give such a good opinion."

After figuring out the key points, Lao Song couldn't help admiring.

Because this kind of gameplay has never appeared before, maybe it can really bring the subject of fire criminal investigation.

"A good idea indeed."

Although Chen Lin didn't know how compatible the world was with werewolf killers, being able to raise this opinion showed that these employees still had some skills.

After confirming the gameplay, he didn't talk nonsense, and began to discuss more detailed settings and some production issues.

It was not until near noon that the meeting finally came to an end.

The team leaders left the meeting room excitedly with the design plan, and started to prepare under the arrangement of Lao Li.

Making a werewolf game is not difficult.

The only thing to do is to set up a voice platform, write rules and role codes.

So in order not to waste manpower, Chen Lin directly waved his hand and asked them to make a 3D version of the cartoon camp scene, surrounded by a bonfire in the middle, and added scene switching and character appearance selection, as well as day and night special effects.

But even so.

It's been less than two weeks.

The news that the game was finished reached Chen Lin's ears.

Then not long after, a new announcement appeared under their official account.

[Honghuang Studio: We tried to make a new game called "Werewolf Killer", a criminal investigation theme board game, which has been launched on the steam platform. If you are interested, you can check it out]

There were no signs and no publicity.

This announcement appeared in the field of vision of the players very abruptly, and they were all stunned when they were discussing "Red Dead Redemption".

WTF?

new game?
Honghuang has released a new game?

It's only been half a month!

"No, big cousin hasn't finished it yet, so he ran to make other games?"

"Grass! I just went to check it out, and there really is this game!"

"Criminal investigation theme board game, what kind of outrageous combination is this?"

"There are still people making criminal investigation games?"

"When you're free, you're going to start the show again, right?"

"Werewolf, I'm still Cinderella, I want to see what kind of game this is."

Now in order to urge the update of "Red Dead Redemption", the players' resentment is very great.

Seeing that Hong Huang didn't play games well, he even went to get some board games, which were so cold that even his mother didn't know the subject matter.

All of a sudden, they were so angry that they ran to the steam platform to search for this game.

As a result, a search really found it.
