The Creator of the Second Dimension

The first three episodes of the "Classic Literature Club Series" were soon completed. Xu Rui stopped the pen in his hand, stretched, and then prepared to go to the Hatsune game headquarters next door.

It started to rain lightly outside the window. It was a continuous drizzle, moistening things silently. After Xu Rui greeted the girl at the front desk, he took a transparent umbrella, opened it, and walked quickly to the office building of Hatsune Games.

It is still busy here, "Bloodborne: Curse" is preparing to start swimsuit activities in July and August, and the swimsuit versions of each character are being drawn urgently to catch up with the publicity. These swimsuit characters are not skins, but brand new, with their own independent The new role of skills, so the design work is very complicated.

After Xu Rui greeted Holofer, he came to the reception room with him.

There are already two men in suits and leather shoes waiting here.

"Hello, I'm Shi Dao from the game development department of Suoren Interactive Entertainment, and this is my colleague Li Zhen."

When they saw Xu Rui coming in, they got up immediately, and the man standing in front stretched out his hand to Xu Rui.

Several people shook hands before sitting down.

Shi Dao's hair is slightly longer, with a bit of artistic atmosphere, and he has a mustache. Li Zhen is younger, with a crew cut, and looks capable and shrewd.

Taking the other party's business card, Xu Rui glanced at the title. Shi Dao is the director of Suoren Interactive Game Console Development Department, while Li Zhen is the person in charge of the third development department.

"I won't say much about greetings, let's get straight to the point."

Xu Rui put away the business card and looked at the other party.

"Hatsune Games is going to develop an exclusive console game on the SN platform of Suoren Interactive Entertainment. I hope your company can provide some development machines and some technical support."

Hearing Xu Rui's words, Shi Dao froze for a moment, then asked.

"I originally thought that you would entrust our company to develop games."

After receiving news of the business cooperation of Hatsune Games, the game department of Suo Ren Huyu still attached great importance to it, and immediately sent the person in charge of the console and the boss of the production team over. They felt that Hatsune Games and Xu Rui are currently holding hands With several big IPs, whether it is the hot "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" or "Bloodborne: Curse", there is enough content to support an adapted game work, and now seeking their cooperation must be entrusted to develop.

"If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely choose to cooperate with Suoren Interactive Entertainment to develop a game, but first I want to set up my own console game development department."

Xu Rui smiled and said, since the beginning of the year, Xu Rui has asked Holofer to recruit console game developers, from art to modeling, from programming to numerical values. It has won many awards on the Internet, and this high-quality web game has also entered the field of vision of many practitioners. It is not difficult for Holofer to recruit people.

"Own game development department?"

Li Zhen's eyes widened slightly. To be honest, he had seen many people who spoke similar words to Xu Rui. These people had made money in the mobile game circle and wanted to "go ashore" through console games. However, due to the inertial thinking of mobile games and the lack of experience in game development in the console field, these production teams have suffered miserably without exception.

However, Li Zhen has played "Bloodborne: Curse". In his opinion, it is still an excellent turn-based game, even if the krypton elements such as drawing cards are discarded. Many of the designs are hard to think of even in the mainstream game industry.

In fact, after the fire of "Bloodborne: Curse" in August last year, some independent game production teams also "copied" the game mode of "Bloodborne: Curse" and developed their own games, which caused several waves. Controversial, but most of these games sold beyond expectations in the end, which shows the exquisite game design of "Blood Source: Curse".

"Yes, although Hatsune Games started as a web game, I am also a loyal console player. I also play games with my family during holiday breaks. As the first step for Hatsune Games to enter the console market, I think Be as perfect as possible."

Xu Rui explained.

"That's true. Although there are several well-known freelance studios in the industry, their schedules are quite tight."

Shi Dao sighed.

For example, Golden Studio, which previously helped the game department of Tomato Video Network develop the console game "Iron Magician: Magic Mark", is a game studio established by several game producers who were independent from Hat Game, and inherited Hat Game's expertise. Based on the characteristics of action games, Golden Studio also focuses on the development of action games.

However, Golden Studio itself has great ambitions, but its development capabilities are slightly insufficient. It has appeared before that it cooperated with another console developer, Hardcore Software, to develop a game. As a result, half of the development was abandoned due to lack of technical skills. scandal.

If it weren't for the well-known producers of Golden Studio itself, action games are second only to hat games, and few companies are likely to be willing to find them as OEMs.

"Suoren Huyu has strong technical strength. Of course we know that, so we want to seek technical support from you. We can also share the benefits of this game."

What Xu Rui means is that Suo Ren Huyu will take technology as a shareholding and participate in the development of this game, and everyone will share the money when the time comes.

Shima was lost in thought.

In fact, the IP of the Hatsune game is exclusively on the SN of Suoren Huyu, which is already a victory. Suoren Huyu is now competing fiercely with hardcore software in the console market. There is a 50-50 split on the Internet. Although the SN mainframe is portable and has good graphics, but the white box relies on hard-core software to buy out the studio's works with huge sums of money, and spends money to promote the installed capacity. market.

As the hottest game development last year, Hatsune Games was able to stand on the side of Suoren Huyu, and Shi Dao was already very satisfied.

"Well, our development department can't make a decision on this business. It still needs to be decided by the business cooperation department and the big boss. I will convey this intention to the past, hoping to reach this cooperation."

Shi Dao paused and said.

"To be honest, Mr. Xu, you made your fortune from an animation company. As long as you set foot in a certain industry, a certain industry will cause a storm. Now I am a little worried, whether I have brought the devil into the house."

Of course he was joking, but it might also be Xu Rui's plan. Who knows if Xu Rui will also set up his own game console company and sell his own game console after the game is successfully produced.

"Haha, don't worry, I don't have the energy to tinker with the host platform market anymore. It is my greatest wish to be able to make some games that make players happy."

Xu Rui was telling the truth. He was not interested in developing a new console for the time being. First, the investment was too much and it was thankless. Second, the current console platform was developing very well, so there was no need to forcibly intervene.

"Having said that, can I ask curiously, which IP game Hatsune Games plans to make?"

Seeing that the discussion was almost over, Li Zhen interrupted and asked.

"No, I'm not planning to make an existing IP into a console game, at least not yet."

Xu Rui replied without thinking.

"You mean new IP?"

Li Zhen was really frightened. It was the first time Hatsune Games set foot in console games, so he had to do it himself, and he didn't plan to rely on the popularity of the old IP. He no longer knew whether it was arrogance or self-confidence.

"Yes, Mr. Li, I am going to make a movie-like game."

Xu Rui said slightly mysteriously.
