Reborn Game Pioneer

Chapter 15 Encounter with Long Teng
In the evening, of course, I want to treat guests again to thank Clivia for her great help. This time, I chose a well-known online celebrity Chinese restaurant in the imperial capital based on Gu Lan's recommendation.

As the saying goes, once it's new, it's the second time it's familiar. Being caught in the middle by Erlan again, Gu Feng's face turned red and his heart stopped beating.

Although the two siblings were both talkative and quiet, with Clivia around, it was impossible to remain silent. The three of them ate happily and chatted happily.

"Hey! Junior Sister Jun?"

The three of them followed the sound and happened to see a man in a plaid shirt who looked to be in his early thirties walking over with a surprised look on his face.

"Senior Du, what a coincidence, you're here to eat too?" After seeing the person clearly, Clivia brushed her hair from her forehead and stood up.

At the same time, Gu Lan also stood up and said hello with the same smile: "Senior Du."

Gu Feng had no choice but to stand up.

"Haha, isn't this game going to be online in a month? The project team is having a dinner together." He pointed at a group of people not far behind him who were waiting for the waiter to share a table.

Gu Feng glanced slightly sideways, and saw that the group of people were all men except for two women, and they were also looking at them with great interest at the moment. Gu Feng could reach them even if they were separated by seven or eight meters. Clearly see the gossip, envy, and jealousy in their eyes.

Coincidentally, Gu Feng saw that Zhang Qiang was also inside. Of course, the other party also saw him, but the two of them were in a tacit understanding and had no intention of saying hello.

He knew clearly about Longteng's people.

"I see, can you tell me what kind of game it is?" Clivia's eyes seemed to be shining with curiosity.

This senior Du was also very upright and said without any hesitation: "I don't want to disclose anything. It's an ARPG game. I won't say the name. Anyway, it's definitely better than our company's previous action games. I definitely won't let anyone know about it." Junior sister, you are disappointed." [Note 1]

"I still believe in Senior Du's strength..."

The two looked familiar and chatted a lot.

"How many people do you have in your project team? I thought that for a big company like you, any game project team would have dozens or hundreds of people."

Senior Du laughed: "What a shame! Of course it can't be just a few people. It doesn't matter if I tell you. The people coming to dinner tonight are all from the design team. Today the boss gave us a new task, asking us to make a model similar to " It’s a competition with games similar to “Happy Xiaoxiaole”. Anyway, it’s to celebrate the upcoming launch of the new game, and it’s also a kick-off party.”

"Ha...it really looks like Dragon Teng's style. There are very few games that are my own creation." Clivia made no secret of her disdain for this kind of behavior.

Senior Du shook his head and was not angry at all: "This is normal. Strong funds are Longteng's advantage. Innovation means risk. Longteng can innovate, such as the new games we are about to launch, but it is impossible to innovate them all because this is not in line with businessmen. The thinking of a businessman is to use more capital to learn from the successful works on the market to make a better quality game and beat the original! This is the thinking of a businessman."

"The reality may be a bit cruel. There are very few adventurers who are dedicated to making independent games. Most of them are followers behind the first adventurer. For example, think of Happy Xiaoxiaole as A leopard has just caught its prey. At this time, there must be many people watching. They are not willing to hunt by themselves. They would rather make a match-[-] game similar to Happy Xiaoxiaole and eat as much as possible. Happy Xiao Xiao Le eats the leftover meat, they are like a group of vultures. And Long Teng is a lion, it is not willing to spend a lot of energy to hunt, it will drive away the leopard and occupy the land that the leopard has not yet had time to eat. All food."

"This is also the reason why I gave up making independent games. After all, individuals can't fight against capital. Society is not a play house. Players don't care about what comes first, they only care about who is more fun."

"Xuemei Jun, I have to go over first. When the game comes out, I will definitely be the first to tell you. Please give me your support."

When Du Jianghai returned to his colleagues, a group of people immediately started joking.

"Brother Du, that's cool. Your girlfriend is really beautiful, even more beautiful than those stars on TV."

"Yeah, not to mention temperament, proper goddess level."

"Brother Du, is the other beautiful woman your girlfriend's best friend? Is the man next to her her boyfriend?"

"Okay, Jiang Hai, you've done a good job keeping the confidentiality secret. In our industry, it's not easy to find such a beautiful girl." Han Taoyan said insincerely. He is still single in his 30s, and he thinks that his looks and income vary. He is steadily better than Du Jianghai in all aspects. Seeing Du Jianghai has such a beautiful girlfriend, he is so jealous that he almost loses his mood to eat.

Du Jianghai was very pleased with everyone's praise. He waved his hands and explained: "Don't talk nonsense, everyone. I really want to, but for the time being, he and I are just good friends."

Hearing this, everyone smiled politely, and even laughed out loud in their hearts.

"Huh? She's not a girlfriend. That's a shame."

"It's okay, sooner or later, the relationship is very good at first glance."

They said it insincerely.

Zhang Qiang was disdainful, so he said how could the goddess like this guy? He didn't look good, and he was more hypocritical than him. He didn't like this guy very much on weekdays.

But in comparison, Gu Feng, who was obviously eating at the same table as the goddess, was even more annoying.

Thinking about the ranking mode mentioned by Gu Feng, he hesitated to speak, and finally decided to find a chance to tell the boss alone.

the other side.

Clivia's mood also dropped a lot.

"Senior sister, you don't really believe what that guy said, do you?" He didn't call the other party Senior Du, but referred to him as that guy. There was no way, the other party stood in front of him and said he was going to make a game to kill Xiaoxiaole. , it would be too difficult for him to ask him to look good to others.

"He is actually right. This is how the game industry is. It is right for players to choose better games, and it is even more right for independent game designers to design games carefully. However, large manufacturers learn from or acquire small manufacturers or independent game designers. From their standpoint, it’s in the company’s interest, and rightly so.”

Her tone was low: "Perhaps this is why there are so few good games. After all, the power of individuals cannot resist capital."

"Ha." Gu Feng accidentally laughed out loud. When he realized what he was doing, it was already too late to regret it.

Clivia raised her head and looked at him, frowning slightly, a little unhappy. She could tell that Gu Feng was obviously disdainful of what she just said: "Why are you laughing?"

Seeing her expression, Gu Feng panicked inexplicably, and quickly explained: "Sister, don't get me wrong, I'm not laughing at you."

Clivia stared at him coldly, waiting to hear what he had to say.

"I don't quite agree with his statement. After all, any individual can't compete with capital. It's just an excuse for not being able to make a good game. Capital has advantages of capital, such as capital, talent, and channels."

“But capital also has flaws. For example, the purpose of every game from the beginning is to make money. For example, designers’ ideas are severely restricted. Even if they have good ideas, they may be forced to shelve them because their superiors disagree. For example, many people do game development, testing or other jobs just for work, not for love."

"Take Xiaoxiaole, for example. In the eyes of most people, the whole game can be seen at a glance. It is very simple, but is it not easy to copy? In fact, it is absolutely impossible for Happy Xiaoxiaole to achieve such success. It's not as simple as they think. I won't reveal the specific reason yet. The senior sister will just watch it. If you want to be more happy than happy, it's up to them, haha." Gu Feng glanced sideways at the location of Long Teng and everyone, disdainfully A smile.
