Chapter 1351 My legend doesn't stop there!
"Marvel Infinity", to a large extent, Andy borrowed some of the features of the game "Grand Theft Speed", and under the open world map, it combines elements of driving, gunfight, fighting, yang and even business, and is a game featuring superhero superpowers.
Andy, who has read many unlimited online articles, naturally knows how to improve the playability of this game. In terms of game settings, players will be sent to a player as a random invader through special subways and plane parachutes in each game, and hot weapons and props will appear randomly, tasks will be done, and the outcome will be decided, and rewards will be won.
Perhaps in the end, after all the players became superheroes, the steel suits were flying all over the sky, one hundred Hulks broke up the city, fifty Captain America and fifty Winter Soldiers fought each other, tsk, the picture must be beautiful!
Everyone in the conference room of Mockingbird Game Company understood that this game was a new work that their boss attached great importance to. After discussion, everyone also found that this game was very interesting. No one was a fool. They were all elites in the industry. Naturally, they understood that once this game was launched, they could make extremely generous profits.
Everyone also knows that their company's dividends for the development team are also very attractive. Looking at the current members of the development team "Minecraft", "Angry Birds" and "Planting", they are simply making a fortune.
At Mockingbird Games, every programmer hopes that the game he has can sell well, and then live a better life of driving a sports car and living in a luxury house. Therefore, the development rights of this "Marvel Infinity" have become the hottest target for competition.
Andy looked at his group of subordinates, staring at him with burning eyes, and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
"Forget it, the team with projects in hand. This game will first develop the PC version. Moreover, because it involves copyright issues, it needs to be authorized from Marvel Group. In the form of cooperation, Marvel Group needs to be given some share..."
With Andy's explanation, everyone in the conference room gradually calmed down, especially those groups holding game projects, who knew they had no chance.
"I'll leave this matter to you, Blair."
Hearing the big boss's words, Blair, who was eO, smiled and nodded and responded: "No problem, boss, I will convene a manpower to form a development team as soon as possible to start this project."
"Well, that's good. The decision to invest in developing our own 3D engine was undoubtedly a very correct step." There is no need to restrict game development because of 3D engines, which made Andy very pleased. If a game company does not have its own technical characteristics, it will really have no future.
"Do not leave the development of the second generation game engine. The picture should be made more delicate. The game picture should give people the most direct and intuitive feeling, such as the texture of leaves and grass, the texture of various guns, the bo patterns on the water surface, the transformation of long-distance and close-up scenes, the special effects of light and shadow, the interaction between characters and scenes, etc., to be more rich and delicate, more in line with the human eye's impression, and more realistic. In this way, players' sense of substitution will be stronger."
Hearing the suggestions and requirements put forward by the boss, the person in charge of the development of the 3D game engine nodded seriously, that the engine engineers really admire the boss's courage and outstanding vision. Since professional commercial engines became popular, except for a few old game companies, no company will invest a lot of manpower to develop exclusive game engines, and they all spend some money to buy ready-made commercial engines to develop games.
This can save a lot of money, but it also restricts the development of game companies. It has no characteristics. Some even sacrifice the picture quality to ensure the smooth running of the program. Moreover, the design pattern of commercial engines is relatively monotonous and concise, and most of the games they make are similar.
A meeting lasted for about two hours. It not only listened to the recent situation of each project team, but also had a more comprehensive understanding of the operation of Mockingbird Company. Of course, the big boss had a great idea and planned a new game. After the meeting, it spread throughout the company.
The development and listing of games are hotly sold. No one in the company doubts that the big boss’s plan will be unsuccessful. After all, all the games planned by the big boss are classics and are powerful tools for making money!
After the meeting, Andy did not stay in the game company for more time. Instead, under the guidance of Blair, he took a bus to inspect the construction site of the new headquarters building where Mockingbird Game Company had begun construction.
Although there is nothing good on the construction site now, and it is dusty, Andy stood in front of the headquarters design renderings and looked at the very distinctive and impressive pixel building. He was in a very good mood. As a company developed from his own hands, it was the first company to start building its own headquarters building. Mockingbird Games is undoubtedly the high-quality asset he values the most. It would be strange if he didn't care!
After walking around the construction site, Andy left the construction site with satisfaction. At noon, with Mockingbird Games Company, the main person in charge of the Free City App Mall, talked about a sumptuous work meal. At 2:3 pm, Andy took his assistant and the negotiating team responsible for the acquisition of the Los Angeles Times, and rushed to the headquarters of the Forum Newspaper Group with his assistant.
On the rostrum illuminated by the flash, Andy signed his name on the document with the extremely luxurious pen indifferently. While the Los Angeles Times publisher and CEO Eddie, who had been standing in the crowd on one side of the press conference, had a serious and calm expression, but his slightly trembling fists and the excitement in his eyes still betrayed how excited he was at this moment, and he also breathed a long sigh of relief.
This time, the Los Angeles Times, in order to find a good way out, forced the parent company to make a decision through a general strike, undoubtedly took great risks. To be honest, as a professional manager, Eddie's behavior is undoubtedly a betrayal. Whether it is successful or not, it will bring indelible stains to his resume and career.
Thinking of the previous meeting with Andy Smith, who was about to take over the new boss of the Los Angeles Times, the other party had a deep gaze, lukewarm expression and tone, and his heart was shrouded in haze, and he was also extremely bitter.
"Don't worry, it's okay, I believe Mr. Smith will understand, after all, we have no choice."
Hearing the subtle words of comfort, Eddie turned to look at the newspaper editor John beside him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Our new boss... Alas, until now, nothing is useless to say, hope..."
Editor-in-chief John did not hear Eddie's words after hope, because the press conference was filled with warm applause, and flashes illuminated the entire rostrum. Andy Smith smiled lights and shook hands with the chairman of the Forum Newspaper Group, exchanged the transaction contracts in his hand, and then shook hands and turned to face the press conference to take a photo.
"The Los Angeles Times, which has a 12-year history, changes hands again. Where should it go? What does it mean for the US newspaper industry and even the global newspaper industry now?
Will the Los Angeles Times still be valuable the next time it is sold?”
Andy sat on the rostrum, with a calm expression, facing the eyes of many reporters who were like wolves and tigers below the stage calmly, and spoke a series of questions, making the scene that was already noisy quiet.
"Some people say that I keep buying newspapers, it seems like I'm going back a hundred years ago, when a small number of wealthy people controlled the influential media." Andy finally smiled on her face, and she laughed and shook her head and continued: "Maybe, it's a pity that holding newspapers now does not bring great returns. From the time she decided to acquire newspapers, I knew that the newspaper industry is not as profitable as it was decades ago. The profits are very low and will get lower and lower."
The scene became extremely quiet, and every reporter looked at Andy Smith, who seemed to be laughing at himself, shaking his head and laughing. He listened carefully to him and continued to speak: "We need newspapers, we need upright intellectuals, and the author and editor who are passionate about this work.
At this moment, I want to say to my Los Angeles Times staff that the dilemma that has been in since 2 years has begun and ended today, and I will make sure you have the tools and resources to produce high-quality news that readers need and rely on. Our legend goes beyond that, our new legend is beginning!”
