Chapter 251 New Job Tenth Update

"Pajitnov, I have the boss's phone number. He's calling from Japan!"

In the company headquarters of China Real Games, all the employees have been quite relaxed recently.

Zuo Zhen took some people to Japan to discuss game development and acquisitions while playing.

If those who stay in the company are interested, they can use the game development kit to create their own original content.

If the original content is good enough, Zuo Zhen will also give certain rewards.

If you don’t have this interest, you can still play games every day.

At this time, the company headquarters didn't look like a company at all. Instead, it looked a bit like a game arcade.

Han Hongkun has been coming here very frequently recently because he often gets stuck while playing Three Kingdoms Overlord, so he came here to personally ask the developers if they had any strategies.

Of course, with Han Hongkun's wealth, he would definitely give him money.

Just when they were about to turn the company into a game arcade, Zuo Zhen called from Japan.

The person who answered the phone was a junior student of Zuo Zhen. Zuo Zhen asked him to call Pajitnov over because he had something to arrange.

The junior did not dare to delay and immediately ran to find Pajitnov who was busy at work.

At this moment, Pajitnov is studying with Xu Junwen whether the current compiler has more room for optimization.

The more he studied this hybrid compiler, the more Pajitnov felt that Zuo Zhen was simply a genius in program development.

He thought he was talented enough, but Zuo Zhen was beyond his imagination.

There are a lot of very advanced programming development details in this compiler.

Just looking at the source code can shock Pajitnov again and again.

"The boss is looking for me?"

Xu Junwen said from the side: "Lao Pa, you go ahead, we will discuss it later."

"OK."

Pajitnov then stood up and walked to the phone.

"Hey boss, what's the matter with you?"

"I have... Huh? You can speak Chinese well now."

"Haha, I'm already quite skilled at it."

"Okay, okay, let's communicate in Chinese. I'm in Japan now, and I just negotiated the acquisition of a game company. The game company I acquired happened to have a game development plan, and I plan to do it next. Our task is to develop this game."

"Huh? What's it like?"

"It's a role-playing game called Final Fantasy."

"In the end... huh? Boss, I remember that this game seemed to compete with us before?"

"Yes, this is the company, and now they have been acquired by me."

Pajitnov couldn't digest these contents for a while.

Why did the relationship that was originally a competitor suddenly become a colleague?

This identity changes a bit quickly.

"Boss, don't we already have a role-playing game?"

Zuo Zhen said: "We still have a lot of side-scrolling adventure games, and there's nothing wrong with more role-playing games."

There's nothing wrong with that.

Originally, games developed by large companies sometimes had a lot of flaws.

For example, Ubisoft has recognized the canned potato format and stuffed everything into a canned open world game.

Square also developed many role-playing games in its early years.

What about Chrono Trigger, Romance SaGa, and Legend of Mana?

These games are also quite classic.

Of course there are some adjustments to the gameplay, but the most important adjustment is the world view setting of the game.

From steampunk to science fiction, to fantasy, sword and magic, etc., we intend to use role-playing as a genre to catch all audiences from different cultures.

Looking at Nintendo itself, wouldn't it also launch 2D versions of works, 3D versions of works, etc. from the Mario series as expansions of the same type?

Therefore, it is quite normal for a company to develop multiple series of one type.

"Boss, what do you want me to do when you contact me?"

"Not only you, but also the team here at the headquarters must take action. This time I plan to cooperate in development between Japan and China. However, due to regional communication problems, the two sides are responsible for different large parts. In the early days, there was no There are too many intersections, we will summarize them later.”

"Cooperation between the two places..."

This is the first time Pajitnov has heard of this form of development.

Zuo Zhen is actually just an attempt.

He knows that this form will definitely become mainstream in the future, but whether it can work now needs to be verified.

In fact, if the Internet was open now, then there would definitely not be much of a problem in cooperating between the two places to develop games.

But this will have to wait a few more years. Even Japan did not have commercial Internet until the early 1990s.

"Get ready first. I will send you the general concept and framework settings of the game by fax, and then the work will officially start when I get back."

"Okay, I know."

Zuo Zhen has made his decision, so he, the big-headed soldier, can just obey the orders obediently.

After hanging up the phone, Pajitnov returned to the bustling office area.

"Hey, hey, you don't want to play with me, you can't put me in a corner."

"Who cares about you, as long as you win."

"Okay, okay, you're playing like this, right? Then when we drink in the evening, I'll drink it for you."

"No, no, I was wrong, okay?"

In the office area, a few left-behind employees were happily playing games.

At this time Pajitnov cleared his throat.

"Well, everyone, please put aside what you are doing now. Our boss just called and we have a new job!"

"new job?"

Everyone who was interested in playing put down their games and looked in Pajitnov's direction.

"What does the boss want us to do?"

"There is a new game. This new game is special. It is also a role-playing game."

"Ah, the boss has come up with a new game again. How is the boss's brain so long? Why can he always come up with all kinds of new game ideas?"

Pajitnov said: "Ahem, this is not the same. The new game the boss plans to develop this time is the original development plan of the game company he just acquired. The name of this game is Final Fantasy."

"Final Fantasy...this name sounds so familiar."

"You have a bad memory. Isn't this the game that competed with us and was highly publicized by NGS?"

"Oh, yes, but what's going on? Why did you suddenly acquire it?"

Pajitnov is also confused now, but the tasks assigned by Zuo Zhen must be completed first.

"Let's not discuss the acquisition of this company for now. After all, this is something that the boss has to consider. What we are thinking about now is how to make the game that the boss wants as soon as possible."

"Then the boss is in Japan now. Has the specific development been explained to you in the phone call just now?"

"That's not true."

"Tch~ What's the point of talking so much here, Old Pa?"

"But the boss said he would send a fax..."

"Oh, that's okay."
