Time flew by, and a week quickly passed.
80% of the employees of the Dream Game Company had committed to the development of Jumping the Line of Fire.
The remaining 20% of the employees were mainly responsible for the maintenance and updates of the previous three games.
As for Real Battlefield 2, no one mentioned it anymore.
Although the Dream Game Company had only been established for four years, it had already formed its own corporate culture. The company was focused, professional, and driven to move upward. Xu Zhi admired this kind of work culture.
In just a week, the framework of Jumping the Line of Fire had been established. At this rate, one month would be more than enough time to develop the game.
In fact, compared to Real Battlefield 2, which required a year’s time to develop, developing Jumping the Line of Fire was like playing at beginner’s difficulty.
Even many of the codes for the Real Battlefield could be used directly on Jumping the Line of Fire. In addition, the requirements in the art aspect were not high, and the guns were extremely simple, so progress was rapid.
Xu Zhi was also constantly helping to solve various problems. With his advanced thinking, he could correct some small mistakes in time.
Working with Xu Zhi was almost like having the wind in their sails. There were no problems in the research and development process. All they needed was a little bit of time.
In fact, the development of a new game carried a certain risk. However, Xu Zhi who had traveled through time knew how to avoid this risk to a great extent.
In his opinion, the success rate of this new game was close to 100%. Moreover, the trial cost was not high.
Low investment, high return. Anyone would be tempted with results like this.
This week, Xu Zhi not only paid attention to the development of the new game, he also put forward his own opinions on the three previous games of the company.
For Saber 777, launched a nostalgic update under Xu Zhi’s instructions, which allowed players to experience the classic, older version of the game. There was no need for any research and development for an update like this. Once this was launched, the server was full, and the revenue that day exceeded three million.
The company’s employees were dumbfounded. It was also the first time that they realized that nostalgia could be used as a marketing tool and that it could be used for games.
For Ghost’s Dream, Xu Zhi used the experience he gained from his past life and launched a few interesting activities in the game. For a time, it actually stopped the declining trend, and there were even signs of the gaming starting to warm up again.
For Real Battlefield 1. Xu Zhi’s team cut down the quality of the game’s graphics. Although the number of players dropped for a short while, it increased again after a time.
In just a week, the revenue for the three games started to increase. There was much less discussion and gossip about Xu Zhi after that.
Xu Zhi also transferred people from the operations and marketing departments and set up a new promotion department. He himself was temporarily the head of the department. Without wasting time, he was already in contact with various promotional channels.
Xu Zhi was planning to invest a large sum of money in advertising for Jumping the Line of Fire.
…
The gaming circle was not very large, and at the same time, it could not be said to be small.
The other gaming companies also heard the news of Dream Game Company’s change of leadership this week, and some of the well-informed ones even knew that Dream Game Company was going to launch a new game.
Four-nine Gaming Company.
In the dining room, a few department heads were eating and discussing.
Just like Dream Game Company, they were also located in Xijing and were about the same size. Hence, they knew a lot of insider information about Dream Game Company.
