MTL - Game Designers: You Don’t Understand Charity-Chapter 25 Xie Xing's end
In the Penguin game development department, dark clouds shrouded.
Before the desk, a slightly shy figure slowly reported to Xie Xing.
"Currently, the number of online players in Fantasy Island can reach three million, and the number is still losing."
"On the Internet, apart from the players lost under the Rainbow Island competition, the remaining players are full of criticism."
"The paid items in the mall have increased several times, and there are very few buyers."
"It is estimated that within three days, the revenue of Fantasy Island will completely stagnate."
"Well, I see." One after another of heavy news, but now it can't change Xie Xing's color, and he replied numbly.
As if relieved, the personnel who reported earlier returned to their seats in desperation, hiding their presence to a minimum.
In the entire office area, it was as if there was dead silence, and there were very few sounds of typing on the keyboard.
Looking at this depressed scene, Xie Xing raised his eyelids slightly, and a trace of self-mockery flashed in his eyes.
Different from their project, which is so thin today, after the game effect of Rainbow Island was detonated that day, the popularity skyrocketed and became unshakable.
It was originally a plagiarized project, and now it cannot catch up with the other party in all aspects, and even the cost of free opening is even more heavy for VR.
As expected by Xie Xing, after the situation was confirmed, Penguin Headquarters could not help but send a letter of suspension.
The game resources of Fantasy Island were completely cut off, and they were ordered to try their best to squeeze out the oil and water before closing the server, so as to get back as much as possible.
So, under the double pressure from the headquarters and Qian Fang these days, Xie Xing could only break the boat and reproduce the methods used by Wang Qiming in the game in a slightly concealed manner.
But even so, under the penguin's ugly appearance, the already crumbling Fantasy Island naturally couldn't keep many players.
Watching that the game he had carefully improved was once again in a mess, like a mess, Xie Xing was heartbroken and finally numb.
The new version of the celebration he used to pressure Rainbow Island has long since become a joke, and it has also become the ultimate grave for burying Fantastic Island.
"Team Leader Xie, Minister Qian is calling you" Xie Xing was awakened by a timid voice, dragging his heavy body, Xie Xing walked towards Qian Fang's office.
The door opened, the door closed, and the room was quiet. Qian Fang, who was sitting at the desk, also had a bad expression.
"Minister, is there an order from the headquarters?" Xie Xing asked. The only thing that can move Qian Fang these days is the order from the Penguin headquarters.
Speaking of which, as a minister, he is the one most affected by the situation.
Looking at Xie Xing coldly, it was really hard for Qian Fang to show a good attitude towards him, Xie Xing was successful or defeated, if it wasn't for his ability, Qian Fang would have kicked him out like Wang Qiming.
"The headquarters sent a message, asking us to fight for the market on Rainbow Island." Qian Fang said.
"Market? But Fantasy Island is gone." Xie Xing was taken aback, but Qian Fang abruptly interrupted him when he wanted to say something.
"I know." Qian Fang was a little impatient.
"So now the headquarters is planning to take Rainbow Island and Fengyun Studio into their pockets." Qian Fang is more or less a high-level person, and he has a very good understanding of the meaning of Penguin.
Xie Xing also understands that now that Rainbow Island is in the limelight, even if he follows the gourd painting, he can't make a better competing product, not to mention that it will take a lot of time to completely reproduce Rainbow Island.
To be honest, it has always been an unsolvable mystery in Xie Xing's eyes that Yunfeng and others were able to develop Rainbow Island within three months.
And since there is no way to compete, there is only annexation.
Penguins have done a lot of this kind of thing over the years. The current monopoly position has been formed by continuously suppressing and annexing those competitive companies and studios.
"Minister means" Xie Xing was a little hesitant, a little enlightened, and his heart was pounding, but he still asked.
"Xie Xing, there are only two of us here, so I won't say anything." With his hands behind his back, Qian Fang got up from the table and walked slowly to Xie Xing.
"You and I both know that this dispute between the two games, in a sense, was started by you!" Qian Fang sighed softly.
Xie Xing twitched his face, and the other party really talked about this.
Qian Fang is the only one who knows his own roots, penguin up and down.
Qian Fang patted Xie Xing on the shoulder, speaking earnestly, "The planning and launch of Fantastic Island have achieved such good results, you have contributed a lot, but you should not be ignorant of the inside story of the rise of Rainbow Island on the other side! "
The conclusive words made Xie Xing silent.
Rainbow Island is huge in scale, complete in system and interlocking. Both Xie Xing and Qian Fang couldn't believe that Fengyun Studio didn't make any preparations at the beginning, and completed this computer game in three months.
Xie Xing couldn't explain it, and Qian Fang obviously wasn't settling accounts after Qiuhou. After walking around Xie Xing, Qian Fang slowly walked back to his seat and changed into a comfortable position.
"In this case, it's up to you to intervene in this matter." The tone was slightly cold, with an unquestionable meaning.
Xie Xing looked up, what matter, naturally it is the acquisition of Rainbow Island and the merger of Fengyun Studio.
Even if he could bear it no matter how much he didn't care about other things, it would be embarrassing for him to face Yun Feng and the others again.
At the beginning, without saying a word, he silently left Fengyun Studio, which was standing trembling in the fragments, for nothing but a bright future.
And now, for the sake of this so-called future, he has to go back to that starting point and control everything as if it were almost destroyed.
"I understand." The cold atmosphere surrounded the room, and Xie Xing did not refuse after all.
He knew that this was his last chance.
Bang, the door was closed tightly, Qian Fang murmured faintly from inside the door, but Xie Xing no longer deliberately listened.
On the seat, Xie Xing took out the long-used briefcase from the locker next to the desk, and it was no longer dusty.
Since he came to Penguin, his clothes and appearances have been replaced with brand-new ones. People are like this, what kind of clothes should match what kind of height.
But this briefcase, because I no longer have to run around like I did in Fengyun Studio, and throw it away, I have no intention of changing it.
Didn't expect it would be useful one day, Xie Xing was silent.
While packing things on the table, he realized that there was really nothing to take with him.
Compared to when I left in a hurry, I carried most of the materials or things that I thought were indispensable to work, but now, for some reason, they have long been useless and there is no room.
Xie Xing finally left the building that was several times more magnificent with the empty briefcase in hand.
There was no inquiry, no watching, and the silence in the cold studio became even worse with Xie Xing's departure.
