Game designer: I am making games, not charity

Soon a staff member in charge of "Diablo" walked in.

When he saw the game on Director Ling's computer screen, he was taken aback for a moment.

Director Ling didn't leave the office for most of the day, could it be that he was playing this game? !

Director Ling saw what the staff was thinking, and smiled lightly: "This game is very good. I played it all afternoon, and I feel very good. Such a good stand-alone game cannot be buried. You can tell Platinum Games to change the bloody scenes. After the drop, quickly get back online, well, try to get back online within a week."

"By the way, don't ask too much."

The staff was shocked, he had never seen Director Ling pay so much attention to a game.

In the past, if a stand-alone game violated the regulations, it would basically be taken off the shelf for rectification. As for when it can be put on the shelf again, it depends on the specific rectification situation.

As for the temporary rectification mentioned by the director, it was just a scene.

For example, the one that was taken off the shelves last time, the VR game called Beach Volleyball, has not been released until now.

After all, a game like this that easily affects the player's three views needs to be punished anyway.

Not to mention, the people in their management office don't have nothing to do. Even this employee's tasks are very busy, and it is common for them to delay for two or three months.

But now, Director Ling actually asked them to help Platinum Game Company to rectify as soon as possible, and they wanted to go online within a week? !
This is no longer banning, but trying to find a way to help others solve problems.

No game has ever been treated like this before.

But this employee also knew his identity, and without asking any further questions, he agreed without hesitation: "Don't worry, Director, I will definitely cooperate with the work!"

He has already made a secret decision in his heart. After get off work at night, he will play this game himself. Even Director Ling pays so much attention to it. This game must be really fun!

Director Ling lowered his head and took out a stack of documents from the drawer, handed them to the staff, and said with a smile: "In addition, our project, plus the list of Platinum Games Company, this company is very good, and you will pay more attention to it in the future. , if there is any problem, help their company solve it in time."

Ah this...

The staff lowered their heads and looked at the documents in their hands.

Because of this game, has the game company even started to pay attention to them?
In that case, what he has to do is not only to play the game well afterwards, it's as simple as that...

And you must know that the project that the director is talking about is not a simple thing.

To put it bluntly, if this game company is allowed to enter that project and really make some achievements, this company will definitely be prosperous in the future!

At the same time, there will be the official endorsement of the entire Great Xia Kingdom!

The companies that can join this project are all game companies with very high qualifications in Daxia.

However, this platinum game company has only been established for less than a year.

What ability does this company have and what a fun game it has made?

He was secretly startled, and while nodding in agreement, he decided that he must take advantage of this ban and rectification opportunity to establish a good relationship with the person in charge of Platinum Games.

……

"What?! The game is banned? Okay, I'll come to the company right away."

Luo Zhonghao, who was watching a movie at home and eating takeaway, suddenly received a call from Zhang Mengyao, the head of the technical department.

With a chill in his heart, he quickly put on his clothes, went out and went straight to the company.

At this time, the night was already deep, and it was chilly outside.

Luo Zhonghao was thinking about where the game violated the rules and how to rectify them.

After all, Luo Zhonghao is an experienced old game designer. When he was working at Goose Factory, he encountered several situations where the games he was in charge of were banned.

This situation is almost fatal for a stand-alone game.

Because the popularity of stand-alone games is very short-lived, unlike online games, because there are continuous players playing online, the popularity will continue to rise.

Stand-alone games are generally the most popular and sell the most during the period when they are just released.

When the heat is over, the sales of the game will plummet.

No matter how classic a stand-alone game is, it can still have a second spring of enthusiasm later on.

There won't be much growth in sales either.

Today, it is the most critical time for "Diablo", which is about to sell millions of copies to create a single-player game record.

And it can also take advantage of this wind to make the game known to more people and strive for greater benefits.

But at this critical moment, the game was banned!
This is really too deadly!

And more importantly, based on Luo Zhonghao's experience in the game industry over the years, if a game is banned.

It's really not that easy to let it out.

The first is rectification.

And this is when it consumes the most time.

After the game administration bans the game, it will only give a very general violation problem. The game administration has no time to tell you how to rectify and where to rectify.

Game companies can only speculate and try on their own, and then keep posting new versions, waiting for a reply from the game authority.

And each reply takes several days.

Therefore, once a game is banned, even if the company is extremely efficient, it will take at least a few months to unblock it.

But if you really have to wait so long, the sales of "Diablo" may be really cold!

In the end how to do?
"Mr. Chen is a college student who just graduated after all. Although he is very talented and understanding, and the games he makes are also very good, he must have no connections in the game industry."

"So Mr. Chen probably has no way to deal with this matter..."

"The rest of the company is also..."

Luo Zhonghao thought about it, except for him, the entire company was basically young people.

After a long silence, he could only sigh helplessly: "It seems that I must be fully responsible for this matter!"

"I don't know if the contacts accumulated in the game industry in the past few years can still be useful now?"

Luo Zhonghao was thinking worriedly, very anxious, and the speed of the car was also driving at the fastest speed that the city could accept.

When he arrived at the company, he opened the door of the company, only to see that Chen Feng was talking on the phone with someone at this very moment.

Although the matter was indeed very important, he was not in a hurry, but stood quietly by the side, waiting for Chen Feng to finish the call.

When he was about to go up and talk about the solution to this matter that he had thought of along the way.

Chen Feng turned his head, widened his eyes, and looked at him in surprise: "It's so late, why are you here?"
