Number One Game Designer

For a long time, even in the world, the game has quite a bit of meaning not to be on the table.

In fact, Fang Xi was interested in games for a long time, so he still remembered some things clearly, such as what kind of monsters the society regarded video games as in the first place.

Some of them were extremely sharp, he didn't want to recall, but he couldn't say that these never existed.

And America, the savior of mankind touted by modern times, has almost experienced a similar routine.

For example, the early news once arbitrarily came to a conclusion: the proliferation of shootings in the United States is because these young people played shooting games when they were young, and became criminals in shootings when they grew up!

In terms of game preferences, Europe and the United States have always liked shooting games, so this accusation seems to be unquestionable: those who like shooting games do seem to develop an interest in shooting... shit!

In order to counter this claim, the Electronics Association of the Americas later released a short film full of irony:

In the short film, they simulated the fierce battles of World War I and World War II. When everyone shot each other with guns in the short film, suddenly an old man stood up and suddenly realized: Why do we shoot each other? We have no reason to shoot each other! Because video games have not been invented yet!

So, you see, all human beings in the world are actually the same, being radical and cowering in the face of the unknown.

The same is true in the treatment of games. Although the overall evaluation of games has been steadily improving in the past two years, if you say that games are also an art, most people only agree with it on the surface but disagree in their hearts.

Fang Xi felt very deeply when he was in school before: When your relatives came to your home, the relatives asked what hobbies you usually have?

Answer A: Playing ball, running, swimming and fitness.

Answer B: Physical Chemistry, English endorsement.

Answer C: The king of the alliance, the **** of the chicken and the spear, the Asian server has just the gun, the king of the national server, the carry king.

Fang Xi believes that there is no need to say the correct answer to these three options. From this, we can actually see what the current environment is towards the special hobby of games.

It is precisely because he knows and has experienced these things that Fang Xi has been walking on thin ice about Hongyi's prestige since he took over Hongyi, for fear that someone would accidentally turn the game into a mouse on the street.

And these feedbacks have also benefited all players. They found that the environment in Haifang City is different. When it comes to the game, they know more about Hongyi than these players. This city seems to have fundamentally eliminated this kind of game. Strange discrimination.

"Hongyi is a good company. They make money to help people in Beiyang City, and they have also invested in several universities." Speaking of Hongyi, the uncle in front of Qi Muyi talks endlessly. If it wasn't for his age, he would definitely Would suspect that this uncle took Hongyi's money to promote it.

"Moreover, Hongyi has been able to see Beiyang City help everyone in the past two years. Beiyang people are not the kind of people who forget to dig wells!"

Well, Qi Mu chuckled his lips inwardly, after all, he still received the benefits of Hongyi, although not directly.

But he also understands that the people, in fact, most of the time the idea is simple: if you let him live a good life, he will sincerely think about your good, and changing his views is not done overnight by propaganda. When it arrives, publicity is a necessary means, but only if you have to do something.

Watching another uncle go away, Qi Mu sighed, coming to Beiyang City this time, his plan is to clarify all the previous backlog of doubts. For example, what is the core profit group of the mysterious company of Hongyi, what is the ultimate goal of this behemoth, and the ultimate helmsman of this behemoth, the mysterious producer Fang Xi, he also wants to really meet and understand.

For Qi Muyi, the past few years have been a few years of drastic changes. His life trajectory is somewhat similar to that of Lu Tao, but in the end he is completely different from Lu Tao.

He graduated with an excellent grade and entered a start-up company in Wangjing at that time. The boss of this company was a planner who left Donghuang and determined to produce an excellent plot game that could surpass Donghuang's game.

Now Qi Muyi remembers that when he started working, his boss cordially met him, talking from life to ideals, from ideals to games, as well as the aesthetics of games, and the division of game plot blocks. It can be called a free talk. Now Qi Mu thinks back Still feel very lingering.

Until he started to take over the company’s project at that time, the experience was very good. He was very optimistic about the company’s secret new project. The plot made him linger and the UI made him full of praise. He believed that the boss at the time could realize him. The dream of Wangjing is no longer just one Donghuang. Qi Muyi also believes that he can realize all his values ​​in this company, regarding ideals, art, and pursuit.

Then, upheaval came.

No one expected Dong Huang to fall so quickly.

It took time for all Beiyang City's actions to spread to Wangjing City, and then until Donghuang Game, the behemoth that had been invincible before them, suddenly collapsed, Qi Muyi and his boss were a little confused.

The environment has changed, so what about the life trajectory set before?

After a week of chaos, the final boss decided that the RPG game in his hand would still be produced! Regardless of the so-called "new games" of the Hongyi genre on the market for the time being, they must make every effort to safely complete their scheduled projects.

Then... Then there was a period of time that Qi Muyi didn't want to think about now. They stumbled and submitted an outdated answer to the market with full uncertainty about the future.

The final answer can be imagined: three years ago when the myth of Donghuang was shattered, it was also the time of Hongyi's momentum. They very unfortunately caught up with the market at that time. Unfortunately, I ran into a game that Hongyi put on the market. That game was called "Left to Survive".

Now Qi Muyi still remembers the day when "Legend to Survive" was released, because he played all night that night, and when he arrived at the company the next day, almost no one spoke at the morning routine meeting.

A young startup company, a group of young people with dark circles whose dreams have dried up, were silent.

The worst thing in the world is not misfortune, but tells you the time that is not good, and then you can't change it if you struggle in vain. In the end, all you can do is welcome it helplessly.

Qi Muyi experienced despair in the short four months after graduation.

This despair is unforgettable.
