Chapter 136: G Fat, when will you release 3?
After Ma Huateng hung up, he immediately called Qin Shaoyan and said with a smile: "Oh, Mr. Qin, you are very strict about confidentiality. Why don't you tell me the good news? ?”
Qin Shaoyan was stunned for a moment, then thought quickly.
What does Xiao Ma mean by this sentence?
Are you picking on me and urging me to fulfill the contract quickly?
This tone doesn't sound like a sinister tone, does it?
Qin Shaoyan calmed down and said calmly: "It's just a small advancement, not really good news."
"Mr. Qin, I already know it." Ma Hua Teng said happily, "Mr. Xiong has told me everything."
What did Xiong Xiaoge tell you?
“I heard that the game demo you showed to Mr. Xiong was quite good. Mr. Qin’s production capabilities are unparalleled. He is worthy of being the number one game producer in China. Mr. Xiong said it was good after seeing it.” Ma Hua Teng immediately asked, "When will Mr. Qin let us Penguin people open their eyes?"
"Oh, this is about it." Qin Shaoyan was perfunctory while thinking about how to fool him, "The demo is still very rough and nothing interesting. When the developers from V Agency arrive, we will improve it and let Mr. Ma take a look."< br>
"Okay, okay!" Ma Huateng agreed quickly with a smile, "I am looking forward to Mr. Qin's new work. Let's do this. I will send the new CEO Ren Yu to the capital. If Mr. Qin needs Penguin's help, please , just contact Mr. Ren directly."
"Welcome!" Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "I won't be polite if you have any requests."
"As long as the project goes smoothly, you will be welcome. No matter what your needs are, we will do our best to meet them."
Qin Shaoyan's face darkened after hanging up the phone. Unexpectedly, Brother Ma also sent a supervisor over.
This is a bit troublesome.
Why does Xiong Xiaoge have such a big mouth?
Why do you say everything to others?
After Ren Yuxin arrived in Yanjing and ran here every day, his secret would definitely be exposed. This is a stand-alone game, which is completely different from an online game.
We must find a way to fool the Penguin people as soon as possible.
...
At night, Qin Shaoyan picked up the phone and called Fatty G with a smile.
“Congratulations on the sales of Half-Life 2 exceeding five million units.” Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, “Gabu, this is not only the success of Half-Life 2, but also the success of the steam platform!”< br>
“This shows that Steam is on the right track, and we can completely get rid of the exploitation of those publishers.”
“Gabe, you succeeded!”
G Fat was also very happy to accept Qin Shaoyan's congratulations, and responded with a smile: "I didn't have much confidence before, but the successful sale of Plants vs. Zombies gave me hope. I should thank you, John, for this."
“The success of steam is inseparable from your efforts. It is you who make it better and more perfect.”
Qin Shaoyan immediately said, “Let us toast to steam.”
"Honor Steam!"
Qin Shaoyan took a sip of Coke and continued to ask: "How many steam users are there now?"
"There are already eight million users, and this year it will exceed 10 million users." G Fat said that the steam platform felt even happier, "It will be more convenient for us to release games in the future."
"The steam platform wants to To develop better, in addition to having more games to fill the library, there must be hit games every once in a while." Qin Shaoyan pretended to be unintentional and asked, "Gabu, when do you plan to release Half-Life 3. "
"..." G Fat suddenly started to talk about him, "Well, I have started to contact other game studios and recommend them to publish the game on steam. We will continue to improve the steam platform. "Gabu!" Qin Shaoyan raised his voice, "I'm not too worried about the number of games now. What I'm talking about now is quality. We will launch a hit game every one or two years." . ”
“For example, games like Half-Life and Plants vs. Zombies have sales of more than five million. Only this kind of work can attract more users. ”
G Fat thought for a while and agreed, "I agree with you."
"So, when will you make the third part?" Qin Shaoyan continued to ask.
“Well, I have already started preparing DLC, there are two in total.” G Fat seemed a little embarrassed.
"That is to say, there will be no new works released for at least two years, right?" Qin Shaoyan asked.
G Fat hesitated for a long time and finally nodded, "Yes."
Qin Shaoyan sighed, "Gabu, you know that Steam needs hits, right?"
"I know." Fatty G was a little embarrassed, "John, you are also a producer, you know." "Making games It requires inspiration and cannot be produced like an assembly line, especially for hit games."
"You're right," Qin Shaoyan agreed, "But I did it recently. A very good game.”
“Huh?” G became interested, “How great is it?”
"As cool as Plants vs. Zombies and Half-Life." Qin Shaoyan said very confidently, "I think it is the next hit game that steam needs."
"Walt?!" G Fat was a little surprised. He couldn't believe it and continued to ask, "John, are you talking in your sleep?"
"You will know if you are talking in your sleep." Qin Shaoyan said with a confident tone, "And it's still Your favorite FPS type."
"Wait for me, I'll be there right away." After that, Fatty G hung up the phone in a hurry.
It’s done, the big fish is now hooked!
Qin Shaoyan put down the phone with a smile, walked out of the office, looked at the employees who were still struggling late at night, and clapped his hands.
"Everyone look at me, I have something to announce!"
Everyone present took off their headphones with a blank look on their faces, and all looked at Qin Shaoyan.
"People from the campus network don't need to look at me." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "You go about your own business, everyone from the game company is here!"
Hong Fei came over with a group of strong men. , asked with some confusion: "What happened, Mr. Qin? Does the new model feel wrong?"
Qin Shaoyan glared at Hong Fei, "Where is Fan Xiaoqian?"
"He left right after get off work and said there was a performance at the bar tonight." Hong Fei asked tentatively, "Do you want me to call him back?"
“No need.” Qin Shaoyan looked around and said slowly, “Now I want to announce something. The boss of V Agency and the producer of Half-Life, Gabe Newell, also known as G Fat. He will come to our company for inspection soon.”
The company was immediately in an uproar. Hong Fei and others took a breath, and then became excited.
G Fat, that’s a famous producer in the game industry, a real big shot in the industry.
Such a game master can actually come to us. Mr. Qin has such strong connections.
“The main purpose of G Fat’s visit this time is to take a look at our FPS game.” Qin Shaoyan said seriously, “The core developers of the Half-Life game will also come to exchange and learn together.”
“You must hold up the situation for me, and we must not let our foreign colleagues underestimate our strength.”
“I estimate that it will only take two or three days, let’s demo it first. Repair it again." Qin Shaoyan thought for a moment, "Don't be embarrassed if something goes wrong."
Hong Fei patted his chest excitedly and promised, "Don't worry, Mr. Qin, we can do it. , I will never let you down!”
Others also nodded, looking high-spirited.
"Then let's work together to see if there is anything that needs improvement." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "Let's go back to work."
Everyone in the FPS game development team followed I felt like I was getting a shot of blood, and I returned to my workstation excitedly.
Fix bugs by fixing bugs, fix models by fixing models, and strive to be the best.
Qin Shaoyan stayed up all night with him, and after dawn he simply slept in the office.
Until the morning, Qin Shaoyan was awakened by the ringing of the landline phone. He got up from the sofa in confusion, pulled the receiver and asked.
“Who is it?”
An English greeting came from the phone, “John, it’s me, Gabe, I’ve arrived in Yanjing, where are you?”
< br>What the hell? !
Qin Shaoyan was shocked at that time, you must be too fast.
Today’s situation is not good, there is no third chapter
