Chapter 305: freedom war

"Next is the question of winning and losing the game."

"On this issue, my team and I discussed for a long time. At first, we were prepared to define it by kill count; whichever side reached 100 kills first would be the winner."

"But if we did that, it would easily make players start fighting in the early stages of the game, or choose characters with high combat power."

"This way, the game would lack a lot of strategy and operations, and also lack a lot of gameplay variety."

"later, after constant revisions and rejections, we adopted the gameplay from Chinese chess: killing the enemy's general counts as a win."

"We made some changes to this general, turning it into a mechanism placed in front of the players' spawn point. At the same time, we set up many defensive mechanisms along the three lanes; they can assist players in resisting attacks from enemy players."

"If the enemy is too strong, players can hide under the mechanism."

"With this setting in place, the condition for victory is to destroy the main mechanism in the enemy's base."

"…"

Xu Yuan kept flipping through the PPT, explaining the gameplay of [freedom war] in detail.

Until she reached the last slide of the PPT, the entire game proposal had been fully explained.

Xu Yuan and the colleague assisting with the presentation bowed deeply to the many employees in the conference room.

"Thank you everyone, this is our game proposal."

The conference room was silent.

A moment later, extremely enthusiastic applause erupted.

Wei Yan slowly flipped through Xu Yuan's game proposal, recalling what she had just explained.

This game proposal, both in terms of creativity and level of detail, was far superior to the game proposal from Lu Ren's group.

From his personal perspective, he felt that Xu Yuan's game proposal was very good.

However, he didn't have a very deep understanding of games himself, so he still needed to see what others in the conference room thought about these two game proposals.

Seeing that Xu Yuan had returned to her seat, he scanned the people in the conference room.

"You have all heard both proposals. In a moment, please raise your hands to express which proposal you support."

"However, before raising your hands, I hope you will be objective. Do not vote for your own proposal just because it was made by your group."

"You should know that perhaps after this game is made, it will be managed by our group. If the game's performance is poor, it will also affect your own income."

"You all received the project bonuses during the New Year. If you want to receive such bonuses again, it is best to choose the game you think is better."

Wei Yan spoke slowly, his tone extremely serious.

He believed that after saying this, the people sitting there should know how to choose.

A good game could exponentially increase their income; this situation had already happened before their eyes, so it was impossible for them not to believe it.

After all, the project bonus during the New Year was very sweet.

Sure enough, after Wei Yan finished speaking, all the employees in the conference room looked at each other, their expressions shifting.

"Alright, that is all I wanted to say. Now it is time to make your choice."

Wei Yan looked at the changing expressions of the many employees and knew that his words had already taken effect.

"Those who choose to support the proposal from Lu Ren's group, please raise your hands."

As his voice fell, a few employees slowly raised their hands.

Wei Yan simply counted the number, recorded it, and continued speaking.

"Those who choose to support the proposal from Xu Yuan's group, please raise your hands."

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

One by one, the employees quickly raised their hands.

Xu Yuan looked at the people raising their hands, feeling very excited. With so many people raising their hands, there was no need to count; it was certain that more people supported their proposal.

Wei Yan looked at the number of people who raised their hands and nodded. It seemed his feeling was correct.

So many people thought the [freedom war] proposal was good.

"Alright, you can all put your hands down. There is no need to count this number. The final winning proposal is [freedom war]. Everyone, let's applaud to congratulate them."

Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap!

Enthusiastic applause rang out in the office.

The applause faded.

Wei Yan turned his head and looked curiously at Lu Ren not far away.

"Lu Ren, tell me, why did you raise your hand to support Xu Yuan's proposal?"

Just a moment ago, during the vote by show of hands, he had seen with his own eyes that Lu Ren raised his hand to support Xu Yuan's proposal.

This was something he found very puzzling.

After all, he was the main planner for the first project proposal, yet he had openly supported the other party's game proposal.

Lu Ren stood up with a smile.

"I decided that Xu Yuan's game proposal was better. Of course, I am not belittling the game proposal I made. I know that in the current game market, Xu Yuan's game proposal is very groundbreaking."

"The gameplay and innovation of this [freedom war] do not exist in the current game market. It is a completely new type of game. Just like [Extreme Survival], it is a type of gameplay that has never appeared before."

"Once this game is made and released, only two situations will occur: either it won't be accepted by the market and will be ignored, or it will become a hit quickly, just like [Extreme Survival]."

"Although this is a bit risky, I believe that as long as our project team members work together, we can definitely make this game well and reduce this risk infinitely."

"Of course, the most fundamental reason I chose this game is that it has the potential to become a hit like [Extreme Survival]. Once it becomes a hit, our project bonuses will certainly not be small. Who would turn down money?"

After the last sentence fell, laughter instantly erupted in the office.

That's right! Who would turn down money?

Hearing Lu Ren's words, Wei Yan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Professionals are professionals; the things they say are just different.

He only felt that Xu Yuan's proposal was better, but he couldn't say exactly where it was good; he just felt it was good.

But coming from Lu Ren, it was different; it was very persuasive.

"Alright, now that the proposal has been selected, does anyone else have a different opinion? You can speak freely now."

Wei Yan looked at the many employees in the conference room; there was no response for a long time.

"Since no one has any objections, this proposal is completely finalized."

"Then starting from today, we will collectively develop the [freedom war] game proposal. I hope everyone will cooperate with each other to develop a game that will become as big a hit as [Extreme Survival]."

Clap, clap, clap, clap!

Another round of applause rang out.

Seeing this, Wei Yan smiled slightly. Since his project team was established, it finally had a goal and could be considered on the right track.

He didn't know what the reaction would be like after this game was developed, or whether it would actually become a big hit.

He felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Hopefully, he won't disappoint President Chen.

Wei Yan sighed secretly. President Chen trusted him so much; if he developed a game that lost money, he would be unworthy of President Chen's trust.

The pressure is immense!
