Game Design: Is that okay, CaiGou?

Chapter 352: Unique Culture of the Tactical Team: I am Shark Arm (Subscription Request)
Taipingdao, headquarters building.

Lanny entered the elevator, pressed the button, and prepared to rush to the top floor reception room to report to Cai Gou.

Just as the elevator door closed.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute."

Xu Lai hurriedly ran in from the distant gate.

Seeing this, Lanny reached out and pressed the door open button, welcoming Xu Lai into the elevator.

"Thank you."

Xu Lai ran in panting, looked at Lanny and nodded in thanks.

"You're welcome. Which floor do you want to go to? I'll help you press it?" Lanny asked.

"what?"

Xu looked at the button and smiled, "I'm the same as you, I'm also going to the top floor living room."

Those who can enter the Taiping Dao headquarters are undoubtedly Taiping Dao employees.

However, the reception room on the top floor is generally only accessible to project leaders, except for meetings. Ordinary employees cannot enter.

Lanny glanced at Xu Lai's outfit, a brown plaid shirt with black casual pants and a pair of black sneakers. The overall outfit was consistent with his stereotype of a game designer.

The only difference was that the man in front of him was holding a briefcase customized for the top executives of Taiping Dao.

and many more!

A custom briefcase?

On the same level as me?
The elevator door closed and slowly rose.

Lanny slapped his forehead and said, "I guess you are the director of the Taipingdao Xumi Game Equipment Factory, Xu Yuanliang, nicknamed Qiaohu?"

Xu Lai smiled and nodded, but his eyes were full of doubts. He had a very low presence in Taipingdao Company.

His home base is at the Xumi gaming equipment manufacturing factory, and he rarely comes to the Taipingdao headquarters on weekdays.

However, Xu Lai was no stranger to the senior executives of Taiping Dao, such as Zhong Chu, Fei Yangyang, and Zhu Pingan. Some of the senior employees of Taiping Dao also recognized him.

But judging from what this foreigner in front of me said, it seemed like this was the first time he saw me too?

and many more!

Foreigner?
Xu Lai smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you are Sima Yi, nicknamed the Tomb Tiger, who is currently in charge of the Tianming platform of the Taiping Dao?"

"It's me! It's me!"

"Nice to meet you!"

Xu Lai took the initiative to reach out and shake Lanny's hand.

After these years of training, especially in the Xumi gaming equipment manufacturing factory, I have become independent.

Although Xu Lai is still introverted, he has grown a lot in dealing with people.

At least in his position, he is already very familiar with the necessary social etiquette.

"Are you here to report your work to President Cai as well?"

There was a hint of curiosity in Lanny's tone.

Xu Lai nodded and said, "Yes, the general called me yesterday and asked me to come over today."

After the conversation, the two became more familiar with each other, but in fact, from the conversation, one could also hear their qualifications in the company.

Because senior employees generally like to call Cai Gou "General Tiangong", or at least a general. Only new employees will call Cai Gou "General Cai".

However, apart from this, there are a very small number of Taiping Dao senior officials who would call Cai Gou "Brother Dog". Of course, this is a very rare case.

The elevator reached the top floor and two people filed out.

"Knock knock!"

Lanny knocked on the door and walked into the reception room, followed closely by Xu Lai.

At this moment, Cai Gou was sitting on the sofa drinking tea with Wu Xiu, the chief steward of Taiping Dao. Seeing the two people coming, Cai Gou asked them to sit down.

"Everyone, take a seat. You're welcome."

Lanny sat on a sofa that could only accommodate one person, while Xu Lai sat with Wu Xiu.

Cai Gou glanced at Lanni and Xu Lai and said with a smile:
"I originally thought I needed to introduce you to each other. Now that I see you all come in together, I guess you all know who the other person is, right?"

Lanny nodded and said, "Xu Yuanliang is in charge of the daily work of the Xumi Gaming Equipment Factory. I have heard of your great name for a long time."

Xu Lai said modestly: "I just follow the general and do some trivial work. Your Sima Yi's Tianming platform is the explosive news in the gaming circle recently."

"Okay, both of you stop being so modest." Wu Xiu said, "The Taiping Dao cannot do without anyone."

Cai Gou said, "Since you two know each other, I won't bother with the small talk. I called you two here today because I want to ask you a question."

"It has been three days since the launch of the Tianming platform. How are Jiegan No. 3 and the Tianming platform doing recently?"

Once the topic got serious, even Wu Xiu, who usually loved to joke, stopped smiling.

The reason why Cai Gou founded the Tianming platform was because Taiping Dao wanted to use Jiegan No. 3 to enter the game platform field.

Now, the Tianming platform has been launched and the response has been very good, but it is also time to consider the future path.

Lanny took out a document from his bag and answered first: "Let me start by answering Mr. Cai's question. So far, the market share of Tianming platform has reached 32%."

"This is due to the sufficient market supply of Jiegan III, and the free tactical team redemption event after the game was launched on the Tianming platform. Of course, the most important thing is that all the games of Taipingdao are exclusively available on the Tianming platform."

"We are the only gaming platform that has a sense of unity. The current stage is still a period of rapid market expansion for the Tianming platform. With the launch of the Minecraft free giveaway today, our market share will further increase."

"Even though Leon in the Steam platform's domestic region has formed an anti-Taipingdao alliance and has been fighting back, the effect is not great. Besides, your killer move, which is the highlight of our Tianming platform, has not yet been revealed."

"I think in the near future, at least in my estimation, in one year, the Tianming platform will become the only holistic gaming platform in China. Give me three to five years, and I am confident that the scale of the Tianming platform can be expanded to the whole world."

Cai Gou nodded upon hearing this.

Wu Xiu, who was standing by, read some remarkable information from this passage and asked curiously:
"Lanni, what's the killer move you're talking about?"

"Oh, this question?" Lanny shrugged and said, "You should ask Mr. Cai himself."

Wu Xiu and Xu Lai both looked at Cai Gou at the same time.

Cai Gou said briefly, "Didn't I go to the Entertainment Bureau's gaming office a while ago? It was about the Tianming platform."

Although Cai Gou did not reveal what his trump card was, everyone present understood from the information revealed in his words that Cai Gou had a backup plan.

Cai Gou doesn't want to say anything at the moment, so naturally no one will ask him about it.

"Xu Lai, tell me about your situation!" Cai Gou waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, Xu Lai quickly picked up the document he had prepared long ago and said seriously:

"At present, the Xumi gaming equipment production plant has entered the third round of factory expansion. In addition to the existing inventory, the Jiegan No. 3 can basically meet the current market demand."

"With the launch of the Tianming platform and its expected popularity in the future, the daily sales of Jiegan No. 3 are bound to usher in a long period of growth, and our Xumi Game Equipment Factory has made sufficient preparations for this." "Of course, during this period, Xumi Game Equipment Factory not only did not forget the general's instructions to expand production, but also increased the research and development of the subsequent series of holistic game cabins."

"Our current research and development focus is to provide extreme enhancement of a single sense for different user groups. For example, users with hearing loss and visual loss may be able to restore their hearing and visual experience in the game world in the future."

"Well, well done!" Cai Gou made a key suggestion:
"In the next period of time, the employees of Xumi Gaming Equipment Factory will likely have to work overtime frequently, and their welfare benefits must be adequate!"

"In addition, the ultimate upgrade of the single somatosensory function is related to Taipingdao's subsequent plans and cooperation with the Entertainment Bureau's Game Office. It is the top priority for Taipingdao in the next three to five years."

"For this research and development, Taipingdao will provide money and manpower if needed. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. You must keep an eye on it personally on weekdays."

"Don't worry, I understand." Xu Lai looked serious and nodded heavily.

He knew in his heart that if he successfully developed an extremely upgraded version of the single-body gaming cabin, it would have a huge impact on the entire gaming industry and even the entire society.

As one of the main persons in charge of this project, he will become an indispensable figure in the history of games and even the history of the industry.

After discussing work, the four of them gathered together and chatted about light topics.

Wu Xiu said with a smile: "Brother, you may not know yet, but some players have specially counted the most frequently appearing words in tactical teams. Guess what they are?"

As soon as this topic came up, everyone present became interested.

Cai Gou replied: "It should be Lao Liu, right?"

As we all know, there are only two types of people in the tactical team——

Lao Liu and Lao Liu who is about to become Lao Liu!

Facing Cai Gou's answer, Wu Xiu shook his head and said, "Yes and no."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Lanny asked curiously.

Wu Xiu explained: "According to statistics from players, the most frequently appearing word in the tactical squad is "double yolk egg". In addition to "Old Six", there is another word that is tied for first place with "Old Six", and that is "idiot."

Cai Gou: "???"

Lanny: “!!!”

Xu Lai: "..."

The three asked in unison: "Why this word?"

"Haha..." Wu Xiu smiled mysteriously: "Look at the limerick on the top of the Taipingdao Tactical Team section, and then look at the comments in the section community, and you will understand."

Cai Gou was aroused by Wu Xiu's curiosity. He took out his mobile phone and entered the Tactical Squad section of the Taipingdao Community APP. What caught his eye was the top doggerel:

【Big Idiot Song】

[It is recommended to open the microphone, team action, and enter the game, all of which are silver coins. ]

[Start the game and run a marathon. I am a lone wolf, fighting one against a hundred. ]

[Leaving the team, I am the most awesome. Lying on the ground, wanting to be the sixth. ]

[I've been shooting for a long time, but no one is in sight. Where are the people? Get up and charge.]

[He was shot dead after running only two steps. Learn from experience and follow the captain closely.]

[I am a dog, I will hit wherever I point. If I am not careful, I will kill the captain.]

[Thoughtful captain, much appreciated. Fuck you, you are an idiot.]

[Fuck you, you are an idiot. Apologize quickly, or you will be kicked out. ]

[Bloody battlefield, serious study. Eight hours, entry-level and advanced. ]

[Bullshit, you haven't even seen the door yet, look at the comments and see what the big guys say. ]

[Several dozen hours in, and I’m still a newbie. The game is great, but I’m just a noob.]

[No more nonsense, let's play another round. I am very confident and proud. ]

[I am the captain’s favorite——big idiot!!!]

"Hahaha, quite interesting." Cai Gou said:

"No wonder players are called the fourth scourge. It's only been a few days since I noticed it, but the players in the tactical squad have already developed their own gaming culture."

Cai Gou became more and more curious, and swiped his finger down to check other people’s community messages——

"Very friendly to newbies. In the first game, the captain affectionately nicknamed me "Big Idiot"!"

"I planted a C4 and blew up the captain, and the captain praised me for being an idiot!"

"It was very funny. The captain praised me as a big idiot. I killed the captain and the commander with a mortar, but the captain didn't complain. Instead, he communicated with me patiently and wished my family good health!"

"This game is very friendly to newbies. I saw a lot of newbie servers when I first started playing. When I joined the team, my teammates were also very friendly. They gave me a nickname called idiot!"

"This game is fun. Everyone who enters has their own code name, such as Heavy Gun, Flight Plane, Special Shooter, etc. Every time I enter, the captain gives me the code name Idiot. I feel very friendly!"

"That night, like everyone else, I was born at the base and was about to go to the front. We were sitting in the car, and the driver said he didn't know how to drive. The teammate next to him taught him how to start the engine and move forward. A whole car of people accompanied him in the online course. At this moment, a missile flew from nowhere and sent everyone to the west. Is this what war looks like?"

Cai Gou laughed so hard that he fell backwards. These players were so talented. Each one of their comments was more eloquent than the other. The community atmosphere was very harmonious.

A technical expert who shares his technology in the community.

A player who likes to play memes and make fun of others in the community.

Ordinary players, ask questions in the community.

Enthusiastic players provide answers in the community.

Nowadays, the game ecology of Taiping Dao has formed a perfect closed loop after being launched on the Tianming platform.

Among these, the most important thing for Taipingdao is not the Tianming platform, but the Taipingdao community APP established at the beginning of the establishment of the Taipingdao company.

After years of development, with its harmonious community atmosphere, it has firmly won over a large number of Yellow Turban Army players. With them, the future of Taiping Dao will surely be prosperous.

Cai Gou raised his head, looked at Wu Xiu, and asked, "Brother Wu, it's almost noon. Once you have completed the process of attracting new players, you can immediately claim Minecraft on the Tianming platform."

"What kind of gaming culture do you think Minecraft will generate among the player community?"

Wu Xiu frowned upon hearing this and thought for a while before answering:

"The reason why the game culture of Tactical Squad has developed so quickly is due to the launch of the Tianming platform, the gimmick of the first holistic military war shooting game, and the free collection of many factors."

"Minecraft is just a mobile and computer game, and the size of the game is not comparable to Tactical Squad, and there is no support for the overall sense of the game cabin."

“The gaming culture among players shouldn’t be created so quickly, right?”

Cai Gou smiled and shook his head: "Wu Ge, you are too small. You have no idea of ​​the power contained in my world."

"I bet the chain reaction caused by my world will be beyond your imagination!"

"Oh?" Wu Xiu also became interested: "Then I'll wait and see."
