Following that, Zhou Muyan took the stage.
This was the final segment of the experience exchange sharing session, where Zhou Muyan would briefly introduce the FPS game they were developing!
This was also a crucial part of the itinerary that Assistant Yan had arranged.
Although this meeting was called an experience exchange sharing, it was obvious which company should be learning from which—what was Tianhuo Studio’s scale compared to Tenda’s?
Since Tenda was currently developing “Sea Fortress,” which happened to be an FPS game, and Tianhuo Studio was also developing an FPS game, it would benefit “Sea Fortress” if Tenda could learn some advanced experience in FPS game development from Tianhuo Studio!
Huang Sibo and the others were listening attentively, hoping to gain some insights and experience from Zhou Muyan that they could take back to further improve “Sea Fortress.”
Zhou Muyan stood with elegant poise, exuding confidence.
“The FPS game we’re developing is called ‘Bullet Mark,’ and our goal is to surpass ‘Counter-Strike’!”
“For an FPS game, the most important thing is the feel. The vast majority of FPS game players are extremely hardcore! We’ve conducted research showing that most ‘Counter-Strike’ players are willing to practice techniques like recoil control and quick-scoping for long periods, even practicing day after day to develop muscle memory!”
“For these players, some details of the experience will directly determine whether they choose this game!”
“Therefore, ‘Bullet Mark’ has maximally replicated the feel of ‘Counter-Strike.’ We can guarantee that in terms of game feel, ‘Bullet Mark’ and ‘Counter-Strike’ achieve 90% similarity! This is an extremely difficult goal to achieve for any domestic FPS game, but we’ve done it!”
“At the same time, we’ve repeatedly refined our artistic style. Whether it’s weapons or uniforms, we’ve achieved absolute accuracy in reproducing foreign special forces units! We’ve even invited military specialists to verify everything, ensuring that military enthusiast players won’t find any flaws!”
“Additionally, we plan to transplant the successful item-charging model from MMORPG projects to ‘Bullet Mark,’ using a free-to-play plus paid items model to create a revenue miracle in the FPS genre!”
Listening to Zhou Muyan’s explanation, Huang Sibo’s expression slightly changed.
This was bad!
“Sea Fortress” was going to be a disaster!
How could Zhou Muyan’s “Bullet Mark” have a design philosophy that was opposite to “Sea Fortress”?
“Bullet Mark” prioritized the experience of veteran and core players, maximally replicating the feel of “Counter-Strike,” and faithfully reproducing weapons and uniforms, even inviting military experts for verification!
Both games implemented item charging, but “Bullet Mark” had a successful experience with the MMORPG item-charging model, while “Sea Fortress” had nothing!
What did this mean?
It meant that among veteran “Counter-Strike” players, “Bullet Mark” would be much more appealing!
Although “Counter-Strike” was still popular, it was an old game and not a true online game. Many companies developing FPS games now want to create a pure online game and steal all those “Counter-Strike” players.
It was predictable that if a “Counter-Strike” player saw both “Bullet Mark” and “Sea Fortress,” they would choose “Bullet Mark”!
If our two games collided head-on, wouldn’t “Sea Fortress” be doomed?
Huang Sibo grew restless; the more he listened, the more he felt “Sea Fortress” was going to fail!
What should they do?
He instinctively glanced at Pei Qian.
Surprisingly, Mr. Pei didn’t seem worried at all. The smile on his face was becoming increasingly apparent!
Why was that?
Huang Sibo was puzzled—why would Mr. Pei be so happy seeing that the design philosophies of “Bullet Mark” and “Sea Fortress” were opposite?
Could it be…
Huang Sibo had a sudden realization.
That was a smile of absolute confidence!
Mr. Pei also viewed “Bullet Mark” as their biggest enemy, which was why he came to Tianhuo Studio to scout out information about it!
And upon hearing that “Bullet Mark’s” approach was opposite to “Sea Fortress,” Mr. Pei’s smile indicated one thing: he was certain that “Bullet Mark” would inevitably fail and “Sea Fortress” would succeed, which was why he could smile so openly and confidently!
Huang Sibo couldn’t help but marvel at how unfathomable Mr. Pei was, and how cleverly cunning!
As for why Mr. Pei believed “Bullet Mark” would definitely fail and “Sea Fortress” would succeed…
Who could say? Mr. Pei had exceptional foresight, and his thoughts were beyond what ordinary people could comprehend.
It seemed that Mr. Pei’s understanding and knowledge of games far surpassed even Zhou Muyan’s, which was why he could display such a satisfied smile!
With this realization, Huang Sibo felt reassured, and his previous worries completely vanished.
With Mr. Pei so confident, “Sea Fortress” must be on the right track!
…
Listening to Zhou Muyan’s explanation, Pei Qian was delighted.
Indeed, great minds think alike!
According to Zhou Muyan’s perspective, “Sea Fortress” would be a complete failure!
Moreover, with “Bullet Mark” and “Sea Fortress” directly competing, the final result would undoubtedly be “Sea Fortress” getting crushed beyond recognition.
Tianhuo Studio had both the manpower and the money; whether in terms of game quality, visuals, or marketing promotion, they would completely overwhelm Tenda!
With “Bullet Mark” as a competing product, “Sea Fortress” was certain to lose money!
So Pei Qian couldn’t help but show a satisfied smile. After being anxious for so long, he could finally relax.
This time, they would lose money!
Soon, Zhou Muyan finished speaking.
Pei Qian shook hands with Zhou Muyan, and they exchanged pleasantries once more.
“That was truly enlightening. I’ve learned a lot,” said Pei Qian.
Zhou Muyan quickly responded with courtesy: “Not at all, Mr. Pei is naturally gifted and accomplished at a young age. I’m very envious.”
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they moved on to free activity time, where everyone could walk around Tianhuo Studio a bit and chat casually.
After that, Pei Qian and his group would depart.
“Mr. Pei, I have some other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now. Um… Sun Xi, please accompany Mr. Pei and make sure to host him properly.”
Zhou Muyan instructed before saying goodbye to Pei Qian.
Pei Qian and his group went to the coffee shop inside Tianhuo Studio, each ordering a drink, planning to sit for a short while before leaving.
At this moment, a young woman who had been observing the meeting came up to Pei Qian with an expectant expression and said, “Hello, Mr. Pei. My name is Lin Wan. May I take a few minutes of your time to ask some questions?”
Pei Qian was slightly taken aback as he sized up this young woman named Lin Wan.
She was quite pretty, with regular features and clear eyes. She wasn’t wearing makeup, but her fair cheeks still had a slightly rosy hue, making her look very cute.
“Sure,” Pei Qian nodded.
Lin Wan considered for a moment, then asked, “Mr. Pei, is the primary purpose of games to make money?”
Pei Qian was startled. Why start with such a profound question…
Is the primary purpose of games to make money?
For others, that might be the case, but for him… the primary purpose of making games was to lose money…
Of course, he couldn’t say that.
Pei Qian coughed twice: “Of course not. I believe the primary purpose of games is to bring joy to players.”
Lin Wan’s big eyes sparkled, instantly lighting up!
This was the answer she wanted!
