Chapter 107: Chapter 105: New Ga?!
Translator: 549690339
In the virtual world of “Assassins’ Alliance”, it was still that familiar cafe.
As soon as he sat down, Randall asked impatiently, “Boss, the multi-platform version of ‘Traveler of the Wind’ , are we pushing it to next year or the year after?”
In Randall’s view, the longer it can be delayed, the better. Ideally, it would be delayed until the sales of Mirage cease completely.
As for the dissatisfaction of the players, as ti drags on, this topic would beco just another daily post in the player’s circle.
There would be anger, but the impact would not be significant.
“Oh, you guys don’t need to worry about that, just leave it to . It won’t take more than a few days.” Lincoln responded casually.
“Huh?” Randall and Little Chun widened their eyes, looking at him with surprise.
“Boss, this might reduce the sales of Mirage, you know that, right?” Even Randall, who had been very confident in Lincoln’s wisdom, couldn’t help but doubt.
Do you really need to be this honest?
Even if you value promises and have vowed to do what you promised to the players, there’s no need to rush, right?
Being this honest will make you an easy target for others!
“I know. Relax, I’m well aware.” Lincoln assured them with a nod, indicating that he was fully conscious.
“Then why are you in such a hurry? By reducing the sales of Mirage, aren’t you just falling into other people’s traps?” Randall was genuinely confused.
“No matter who arranged this, um, I think it’s most likely NetDragon’s doing. Even though I have no evidence, let’s assu it’s them. Do you guys think they will stop if they don’t achieve their goal?”
“They probably…won’t.” Randall’s face darkened.
“Right, they won’t sit by and let us muddle through by delay tactics. As long as their goal is not t, they won’t stop. If they see an opportunity, maybe even more big companies will join in to tarnish our reputation.”
“So you would rather lose so potential sales of Mirage, in order to wrap up this matter as soon as possible?”
“It is indeed necessary to release the multi-platform version of ‘Traveler of the Wind’ as soon as possible, but to wrap up the matter?” Lincoln let out a disdainful laugh, “Are you joking? Do I look like the kind of person who would just quietly accept a loss?”
Without thinking, Randall muttered to himself: I don’t know if you would accept a loss or not, but you are definitely not the silent type…
Whoever sses with you will be first hung on the public sha pole of the
Internet.
Even Randall felt that Lincoln’s biggest pleasure was this, exceeding the outco of the matter itself.
He easily gave people a feeling of, “As long as I can humiliate you, I don’t care about winning or losing.”
Just, very hard to ss with.
“So what is your plan?” Little Chun butted in. “Give them a reason, a reason to definitely buy Mirage!”
“What reason?”
Lincoln slapped the table, “This.”
With Lincoln’s slap, the material of the desktop changed, quickly changing from wood to glass.
Then, images began to appear on the glass.
In the middle of a forest composed of pure white giant trees, a small patch of green land appeared in the lingering clouds. In the middle of the green area, there was a small pink and purple lake. Countless paper airplanes lined up, flying from the depths of the forest, circling the small lake, and then returning to the depths of the forest.
In the very middle of the small lake, two little figures, one in a yellow and the other in a green cloak, raised their arms and looked up at a burning candle in the sky.
It was the light of the candle that illuminated this forest.
Finally, two words slowly erged in the middle of the image — “Light Encounter”.
“What is this?” Little Chun, looking at the two little figures in the picture, imdiately fell in love with this adorable art style.
“A new ga?” Randall also asked with interest.
“Yes, a new ga. The sister-title of ‘Traveler of the Wind’, ‘Light Encounter’.” Lincoln was straightforward about it.
“Its gaplay and core principles continue in the vein of ‘Traveler of the Wind’ , but with a stronger focus on long-term operation, diverse gaplay, enhanced social elents, and stickiness that far surpasses. The goal is to get players hooked, to want to keep playing and to want to invite friends to play along, potentially for several years.”
Lincoln turned to Little Chun, “I can create the frawork for the map, but this ga is different from ‘Traveler of the Wind’. While the gaplay follows in the sa vein, its core pleasures are different. We need to design a lot of different outfit appearances, special actions, toys, furniture, decorations, special sound effects, etc. The importance of these factors is by no ans lesser than the map.”
“What do you an?” Anticipation shone in Little Chun’s eyes.
“I hope you can take charge of this project, Cloud Dream will provide you with full support, feel free to develop it as you will. For technical issues, you can consult with the technicians, and if they can’t solve them, co to . For staffing issues, you can get in touch with Old Qin, or directly recruit new talent through Sister Qiao. We can recruit in the virtual world, and if there isn’t enough talent available, we’ll train interns. We’ll ensure you have enough personnel.”
“No problem!” Little Chun agreed instantly and seed ready to start imdiately.
But Lincoln stopped her, “Hold on, I haven’t finished laying out my requests.”
“Go on.”
Lincoln was solemn, “You’re not allowed to work overti, especially at the cost of delaying physical rehabilitation and treatnt. Or else Old Qin is going to hate .”
Randall, sitting next to Little Chun, gave a bitter smile.
Little Chun stretched out her hand, comfortingly patting Randall’s hand.
“Don’t worry, I want to spend more years with Yun Song too, I’ll definitely be careful.”
Yun Song was the nickna and userna Randall went by in his student years, and Little Chun was already accustod to referring to him by that na.
“Alright then. You’ll be the chief planner for this ga, and I’ll have Sister Qiao allocate personnel for you as soon as possible.”
Still not entirely convinced, Lincoln added, ‘You should primarily play a coordinating and managerial role. Delegate as much of the work as possible and don’t stress yourself out.”
“Don’t worry,” Little Chun agreed readily, “Where’s the plan? Can you give it to now?”
“This is much better than a plan.” Lincoln handed over a portable console to Little Chun after he finished speaking.
Little Chun looked perplexed as she took the console.
The console has been completely marginalized in this world. Except for a very small circle of enthusiasts _ it’s scarce in one anywhere else
She awkwardly manipulated the console, opening the only ga on it.
After he announced last night, Lincoln decided to develop this ga.
But he was too busy to handle it, and while Mavis’ help made sorting out the environnt map easy, “Light Encounter” and “Traveler of the Wind” are different. It’s a strongly social, long-term operational ga that requires a constant output of novel toys, good-looking appearances, etc.
Moreover, it needs to shift from the mobile platform to virtual reality, and most things require adaptation.
The most direct impact: Many simple actions have beco aningless.
Are players themselves incapable of waving, bowing, embracing or lying down that they need to buy these actions from you?
Are you going to restrict players’ actions first and then sell those actions back to them?
If you dare to do that, be ready to be scolded to death by your players!
Clothing is also a big problem; the clothes for the characters in mobile gas and the clothing for real people are completely different and must be designed from scratch.
At best, it could draw so inspiration from them.
Lincoln neither had the ti nor was good at these things, so it was preferable to delegate it to the professionals.
He imdiately thought of Little Chun. Little Chun and the new beautician had long finished their work on “Assassin’s Alliance”.
Nowadays, they either perfect the amusent park when they feel inspired, or wander around aimlessly in the world of “Assassin’s Alliance” when they don’t, checking to see if they can add sothing new.
She is perfectly suited for this task!
So, with Mavis’ help, he quickly created a console version of the ga. This allowed them to have a reference during production and prevented the project from going awry..
