The battle for the first pass is not even a problem in the eyes of Qin Songyun, Fan Rui and others.

Lin You is different. Affected by his status as a player in the original world, he will subconsciously feel that the first pass is very important.

Especially when it comes to cross-border competition, the importance of the first pass in the minds of players will increase exponentially.

Lin You secretly hoped that Daxia's players could win the first pass.

But he has no intention of cheating to help, and will even try to ensure fairness as much as possible in the future.

He believes that only a strong enough competitive environment can produce the highest level of players.

If they really lose - especially if they have a first-mover advantage, Lin You will only feel embarrassed for them!

In fact, his first reaction when he heard the news was——

"If you dare to lose, you will be dead!"

Then he began to think about another question, which was what this incident reminded him——

Transnational competition between players, and even historical conflicts.

According to Lin You's production philosophy, Yunmeng's game players will not divide servers according to regions.

Instead, it uses advanced virtual world construction technology to coordinate all servers and players' spare time computing power into a whole.

In this way, players will not be blocked by the system when playing the game.

Due to the special mechanical design of "John Wick", the free team formation and random automatic matching system are all unlocked after completing the game in one week. Players have not yet had any intuitive experience.

But in "Light Encounter" and "Paradise", many players from Daxia have actually encountered overseas players.

Moreover, in countries within the Daxia cultural circle, Chinese is the second language, so there is almost no obstacle to communication, and many people have made foreign netizens.

When a large group of "John Wick" players complete one round, many players will encounter them accidentally under the random matching mechanism.

But apart from making friends, there is also a relationship between players from different countries - competition and confrontation!

If it were just players from Daxia and players from other countries, it would be okay.

Although there were frictions and conflicts between the suzerain country and the vassal country in history, those happened hundreds of years ago and have completely disappeared in modern times, and there is no direct enmity between them.

But among the surrounding vassal countries, that's another story...

After a long history, it has become a lot of nonsense, and there are many countries that dislike each other.

Even Izumo and Baekje regard each other as enemies!

If these are matched together, it will be easy to start a fight directly.

And if someone dies for such an unexpected reason, the game experience will definitely be very bad!

This still does not take into account the situation in the future after leaving the Daxia cultural circle. By then there will be more countries and the situation will only become more complicated.

Lin You felt that Yunmeng needed to consider these things in advance and respond to them.

——Of course not trying to find a way to eliminate the hatred and bad feelings between them.

Such a grand proposition is not something that Yunmeng, a small game company, needs to consider for the time being.

What Lin You really considers is: Yunmeng needs a place where players from these countries can fight with each other!

Yes, not only did Lin You not intend to break up the fight, he even wanted to make the players from these countries fight together!

After all, grievances will not disappear out of thin air. Fighting in the virtual world is definitely better than fighting in the real world.

That's right! Lin You silently concluded in his heart: This is all for world peace! I am really a good person!

As for where exactly these players should go to fight -

Neither Metropolis nor Night City is suitable.

——These two cities are essentially designed for individual battles, and at most they are small team battles.

In the past, when the Metropolitan City held a free day, it was already very chaotic, with too many factors of luck and surprise.

For a game that emphasizes confrontation, fairness, controllability, and strategy cannot be ignored.

Besides, the firepower of these two cities is not strong enough.

Metropolis only has one tank and an armed helicopter. Night City doesn't even have these. It's just too petty! It's not fun to fight!

In fact, when Lin You thought about this, the answer was already very obvious——

Yunmeng needs a brand new, large-scale war confrontation game!

The choice actually appeared in his mind as early as four months ago, after following He Peng to see those heavy firepower weapons -

"Battlefield"!

And now that he thinks about it, he has a new idea - "Hell on Earth".

Or... want them all?!

Lin You's heart, of course, wanted to have it all.

However, after the previous precedent of "Minecraft" failing to integrate "Terriaria" and "The Witch" and having to settle for the next best thing, he felt that he could not make a hasty decision and still needed to discuss it with everyone.

And it is impossible to copy it completely, because the original "Battlefield" does not have the feature of "allowing players to fight against each other in groups based on countries."

Of course, you have to be more thorough when arching the fire!

Well, I have to think carefully about how to implement the idea.

——Hope it can be implemented.

After developing several games, Lin You has also understood: many times, the ideas at the beginning of game development are not always realized in the end.

Even with Yunmeng's technical capabilities, compromises and choices often need to be made when developing games.

Game production, after all, is to serve players, and the ultimate goal is always to have fun.

It's not just about showing off your technical skills, nor is it about filling the map with endless question marks.

Thinking of this, Lin You felt that he should talk to everyone as soon as possible, so he looked at everyone in the conference room.

"I thought of a new game project." Lin You said again, "This project can be the final game of our gun shooting series."

As soon as he finished speaking, seeing Fan Rui's suddenly widened mouth, Lin You quickly explained: "The sequel is of course another matter! Don't worry, "John Wick 2" will still be made in the future."

"And it doesn't mean that we won't make shooting-themed games in the future. It's just that after the first phase, our internal core focus will shift to other themes."

Qin Songyun was a little puzzled: "Shooting-themed games have always been the most mainstream and popular themes on the market. The "Assassin's League" and "John Wick" we produced, both in terms of sales and player feedback,

This has been proven, and you can definitely keep doing it, so why are you so eager to change the subject matter?"

Lin You looked at Qin Songyun who couldn't understand, as well as several supervisors who were a little uneasy here, and said calmly: "Everyone, the current situation is very different from a few months ago!"

He leaned back slightly in his chair and declared confidently: "Whatever we do now will be mainstream! Whatever we sell will be the most popular subject matter!"

"I don't want to appear too arrogant, but the fact is: we are already at the top of the industry in a substantial sense!"

"We have enough capital and room for trial and error to explore new areas, create new possibilities, and even try challenges that may fail. This is not only our freedom, but also our responsibility."

"If we, as the company with the strongest technology, the most abundant capital, and the most advantageous conditions in the game industry, don't have the courage to explore new game themes and create more and more interesting possibilities for players, then what qualifications do we have?

Standing in this position now?"

As Lin You spoke out his words, several employees present unknowingly straightened their backs and became solemn.

It was only now that a few people suddenly felt that their boss still had such a side!

But in the blink of an eye, it felt natural.

Yes, if Lin You is really as he usually behaves, lazy and fishing all day long with no ambition, how could he push Yunmeng to this height in such a short period of time!

Everyone here no longer hesitates, and even want to start making an unprecedented game right away that will shock the world’s jaws!

Even Zhong Chang, a pure migrant worker, was aroused by Lin You to have a sense of mission, and he felt that "I am in Yunmeng, and I am proud of it."

——Of course, he soon came to his senses again: "I'm not a game designer, I'm so excited!"

Then Zhong Chang relaxed his body, leaned firmly on the back of the chair again, and quietly watched his boss continue to perform.

Fortunately, Zhong Chang didn't support it, but others still did.

Not to mention a few game designers, even Qiao Nanyu and Ye Xiaohe, two department heads who have little to do with game design, were very supportive.

——Don’t say that Ye Xiaohe is not the supervisor, the director of the new media department is also the supervisor!

Even if you only have three human employees and the rest are cats and dogs, pet employees are employees too!

Ye Xiaohe is even learning Yunmeng's game development software in his spare time. After completing the course, he plans to apply to develop a game with "Cat" as the protagonist.

Originally, she was worried that her boss would disagree with such a non-mainstream subject matter.

Now when she heard her boss say this, it really spoke to her heart! She was as excited as a seal and kept applauding.

It made Lin You look a little sideways.

"Boss, tell me, what theme should we do next?" Qin Songyun is ready to face the challenge!

"?" Lin You looked at Qin Songyun strangely, "Didn't I say it? A gunfight!"

"Ah..." Qin Songyun suddenly felt excited too early...
To be continued...
