Chapter 53: Boss Pei’s Smile
Zhou Muyan was up next.
This was the final segment of the sharing session where Zhou Muyan would give them a simple introduction to the FPS game that they were creating!
Assistant Xin had worked to ensure that this was the most critical segment of the schedule.
Even though this was said to be a sharing session, the difference between Sun Strike Studios and Tengda was clear as day and it was obvious who was learning from the other.
Since Sun Strike Studios was creating a FPS game and Ocean Stronghold was also a FPS game, Tengda would stand to benefit by learning from Sun Strike Studios’ advanced knowledge in terms of FPS games!
Huang Sibo and the others were listening intently as well, hoping to gain some insights from Zhou Muyan so that they could improve on Ocean Stronghold when they returned.
Zhou Muyan was suave and confident.
“The game that we’re working on right now is a FPS called Bullet Hole and our aim is to surpass Counter Strike!”
“The most important aspect of FPS games is the hand sensitivity portion. Most players of FPS games are veterans and we’ve done our research. Most players of Counter Strike enjoy spending a long time practicing their shooting and aim. In fact, they would spend days trying to convert it into muscle memory!”
“For those gamers, every slight detail would serve as a deciding factor for whether or not they would choose to play a game!”
“Therefore, in terms of the hand sensitivity aspect, I can assure you guys that Bullet Hole is at least 90% similar to that of Counter Strike’s! This is an extremely difficult goal to hit for any domestic FPS games but we did it!”
“At the same time, we’ve been putting in a lot of work for the art design. Be it in terms of the guns or outfits, we’ve adhered to the original image of overseas special forces. In fact, we’ve even hired military specialists to check through our work so that any army enthusiast gamers would not find any issues with it.”
“Not just that, we intend to migrate our successful paywall model from our MMORPG into Bullet Hole using a model where the game is free to play but the equipment would require money. It will be a unicorn in the FPS genre for making money!”
After hearing Zhou Muyan’s explanation, Huang Sibo’s expression changed slightly.
‘This is bad!’
‘Ocean Stronghold is screwed!’
‘Our thought process for Ocean Stronghold is completely opposite with Bullet Hole!’
‘Bullet Hole focuses on the experience of veteran gamers and follows the hand sensitivity aspect of Counter Strike to its fullest! Not just that, it’s even replicating the guns and outfits with military specialists giving advice!’
‘Even though both of our games charge through equipment, Bullet Hole has the advantage through their experience of their MMORPG’s payment model! Ocean Stronghold has nothing at all!’
‘What would that imply?’
‘It meant that the veteran gamers of Counter Strike would find Bullet Hole much more enticing!’
‘Even though Counter Strike is still extremely popular, it’s already an old game and it’s not considered an online game. Most companies creating FPS games these days are trying to make a pure online game so that they can bring over the fans of Counter Strike.’
‘But the answer is obvious. If a Counter Strike gamer sees Bullet Hole and Ocean Stronghold at the same time, they’d definitely pick Bullet Hole!’
‘With these two games clashing, wouldn’t Ocean Stronghold be doomed from the start?’
Huang Sibo was getting unnerved; the more he heard, the more he felt that Ocean Stronghold was going to fail!
What should they do?
He looked at Pei Qian unconsciously.
However, not only did Boss Pei look unworried, the smile on his face was even getting wider!
Why was that?
Huang Sibo was perplexed as to why Boss Pei would be delighted after knowing that Bullet Hole and Ocean Stronghold differed so much.
Could it be…
Suddenly, Huang Sibo realized.
That was Boss Pei’s smile of confidence!
Clearly, Boss Pei also viewed Bullet Hole as their greatest competitor and that was why they were here at Sun Strike Studios – to understand more about Bullet Hole’s current situation!
But despite the differences between Bullet Hole and Ocean Stronghold, Boss Pei’s smile only meant one thing – he was sure that Bullet Hole was bound to fail! That was why he could smile with such open confidence! It was because he knew Ocean Stronghold would succeed!
