Number One Game Designer

In his previous life, Fang Xi had always liked Guan Yiwu's famous saying: "Canglin knows the etiquette for the real, and knows the honor and disgrace of the food and clothing."

This sentence can be extended to explain that when you don't need to run for food and clothing, you have the time to consider what is etiquette and what is honor and disgrace.

For people in modern society, the truth is similar: when you don't need to worry about money, you have the time to consider what is art and what is spirituality.

It is also applicable to the game industry. Many game planners in the past life didn't know that they were doing garbage money-swindling games. Did they plan garbage krypton scam activities? No, they are planning themselves. They know it better, but the superiors want KPIs and the bosses want annual reports. The whole company is thinking about how to make more money. Planning is to be able to make good food for themselves. Don’t you still have to plan junk games and cheat. activity.

It can also be said that the domestic game industry in the previous life still stayed in the hard work of "cangling real", and because foreign countries have developed for nearly half a century, they have long since broken away from the era of making games only for the sake of chafan. Began to have the ability to pursue art and make video games the ninth art.

Therefore, in his previous life, Fang Xi smiled and didn't say anything when he saw tearing posts about domestic games on the Internet. Here is a brief look at the timeline:

In 1972, Atari launched the first game console.

In 1976, Jobs and Woznick, who worked at Atari, developed a classic brick-and-mortar game. (The two were later founders of Apple.)

In 1992, Atari failed to compete with Nintendo for the market, and Atari began to decline.

And what about Nintendo, another giant in Japan?

Nintendo was founded in 1889 as a factory that made dominoes and playing cards.

In 1949, Yamauchi took over Nintendo and founded the game department.

In 1964, Nintendo and Disney reached a cooperation.

In 1977, Nintendo launched a video game for the first time, which was a great success. In the same year, Shigeru Miyamoto joined Nintendo. (Shigeru Miyamoto is the producer of Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda, and is known as the father of modern video games.)

In 1983, Nintendo launched a red and white machine.

In fact, there is no need to squeeze the timeline afterwards, because it was not until almost ten years later that there was a small overlord in the country, and ordinary people had the opportunity to contact the red and white phones, but the price at that time was still high, almost until after 2000 At that time, the children only had cheap red and white machines to play in the same year, and the generation gap was almost fifteen years. This is the game gap between China and Japan and the United States. People are directly ahead of you by a generation, take the lead? Fortunately, until Fang Xi's accident, the country finally started to have good games, so he never participated in any tearing in his previous life, because Fang Xi believed: We can't make good games, we just need time.

Fortunately, Fang Xi has the opportunity to rewrite all of this when he lives again for the rest of his life. nonexistent! I am the difference between the two worlds!

When leaving get off work, Fang Xi also announced to the employees the salary increase plan he discussed with Gu Qin:

The basic salary is raised by 20% to 50%, and everyone is given one month's salary as a bonus. This move naturally won the support of all employees.

Seeing the cheers of the employees, Fang Xi was a little dazed for a while. I wonder if Hongyi, under his leadership, is ruling an era like Nintendo? It still rises like a comet like Atari, and disappears like a comet.

Seeing Fang Xi by his side fell into a trance, Lu Wanqi hesitated for a moment, and quietly tugged at the corner of Fang Xi's clothes.

Fang Xi, who was in a daze, looked at Lu Wanqi strangely. What does this little Nizi want to do? Lu Wanqi snorted towards the office area, reminding him that the employees are still waiting for him to follow.

Finally remembered Fang Xi who hadn't finished speaking, smiled awkwardly, and continued randomly:

"In order to celebrate the great success of our closed beta, the Aegean Restaurant is up tonight, and Mr. Fang pays for the entire consumption."

"Oh~~~~ Long live~~~~~~" Salary raises and bonuses are a one-stop treat. At this moment, Hongyi is caught in a sea of ​​joy, and this is nothing more than the New Year.

Among the crowd, Fang Xi looked at Lu Wanqi beside him: "No arrangements for the evening, right?"

Lu Wanqi put her arms around her chest and asked a little vigilantly: "Why?"

Fang Xi smiled awkwardly: "Don't think too much, I'm asking if you have time for dinner at night."

"Okay." Lu Wanqi nodded and agreed.

"Well, follow me later, I'll drive you there."

"When did you buy a car? Why don't I know?"

"I don't need to report everything to you." Fang Xi rolled his eyes. "But this car belongs to my dad. He and my mother are still at ease in Southeast Asia, so I will drive out for a ride."

Facts have proved that dating a girl has always been a patient work. When she set off, Lu Wanqi gave Fang Xi a sentence, "Wait for me, I will go to the bathroom to fix up some makeup." Then Fang Xi lay on the sofa and fought seven fights against the landlord. Only waited until Lu Wanqi.

Lu Wanqi, who put on light makeup, made Fang Xi look at her twice, sighing in her heart that this girl is indeed too good-looking. By the way, are the people who mocked the star map all gay? Otherwise, such a talented planner can let it go and put it here, even if Lu Wanqi is a vase, she will be willing to raise it.

Beautiful girls always seem to be particularly sensitive to their gazes. Fang Xi took two more glances, and Lu Wanqi went over with an eye knife:

"What to look at, I'm just putting on polite makeup, and I will resign tomorrow if you look at it!"

"Well, I won't watch." Fang Xi reluctantly raised his hands and surrendered: "Let's go, you must be happy. Our company is now forty or fifty people, and we are all counting on you to sell the game."

"Poor mouth." Lu Wanqi said so with a smile on her face.

Fang Xi exclaimed: Girls are so cheating!

After driving on the road for three minutes, Lu Wanqi was a little confused:

"This is not the way to go to the Aegean restaurant."

Fang Xi nodded: "Let's go to the Sutang Club. The lambs over there are delicious, and they are also a must in Beiyang City. Don't you like to eat that."

Suddenly changing from a company party to a party of two people, Lu Wanqi was a little panicked:

"But you, you, your company still has so many people, what if you don't show up tonight."

"I explained to Tao Junyi and Qian Shasha that they will spend the evening with the company's accounts, and then I will reimburse the company. Besides, they will be happy. It doesn't matter whether I appear or not."

"Then... Then other people will know if I don't see me anymore, I'll come out with you..." Lu Wanqi's voice became smaller and smaller afterwards.

Fang Xi was a bit funny. He had known that Lu Wanqi, who had been out alone, was so cute, he must have done it a long time ago!

"What's going on with me? I'm not a playboy, but I'm an overbearing president who guards me like a jade." Fang Xi laughed and teased himself.

Fang Xi, who saw Lu Wanqi's little face about to cry, shook his head and said:

"Anyway, they misunderstood the first day you went to work, otherwise you thought why they called you two days ago and asked you to call me off work. Relax. Today, I really just want to thank you very much. Everything I have done recently has no other intentions."
