That afternoon, Mingyan strolled over to the nearby Morning Star Incubator.
During afternoon tea time, employees sat in twos and threes in the break room, some taking a nap and others having fun.
Of course, there are also many workaholics who are still working at their desks.
Zhuo Yu, who is in charge of the "Pictionary" game, is currently adjusting the formula for the score values in a table.
Mingyan watched him from behind for a while, and when she spoke, she startled him.
Ming Yan: "Are you interested in the Assassin's Way series?"
Zhuo Yu almost jumped up from her chair: "What?!?!?!"
A moment later, the two sat facing each other on the sofa and sipped their coffee.
Mingyan explained to Zhuo Yu, and then said, "This should be considered a spin-off of the Assassin's Way series. It shouldn't be very big, but the budget is still sufficient."
Zhuo Yu, who was very cautious in this regard, carefully asked, "Does 'sufficiently enough' mean one hundred million?"
Mingyan said in surprise, "No, I meant one billion. If you still think it's not enough, you'll need to apply for more."
"???" Zhuo Yu said, "You guys on Earth call this 'sufficiently enough'?"
Mingyan paused for a moment, then asked, "What do you call this?"
Zhuo Yu coldly replied, "Mountains of gold and seas of silver."
Clearly stated: "..."
This is where the difference between the two teams becomes apparent.
The team that Zhuo Yu had previously built up was often in dire financial straits because it was initially invested in by cruise capital, but was later gradually swallowed up.
Whenever Zhuo Yu wanted to apply for more budget funds, she had to be humble and ask the person in charge of cruise capital for permission.
As time went on, he got used to it and realized that this was "a common hardship in life for adults."
Then suddenly, upon arriving on Earth...
Zhuo Yu: This is outrageously extravagant! Absolutely outrageous!!!
Facing Zhuo Yu's accusing gaze, Ming cautiously asked, "Would you be interested in leading this 'gold and silver sea' project?"
Zhuo Yu calmed down and pondered for a long time before saying, "This is a series that you created single-handedly. The first work has accumulated such a high reputation and popularity. Do you really want to hand it over to someone else to manage?"
Mingyan laughed and said, "There are too many series, I definitely can't handle them all. To be honest, the Assassin's Way 2 project is currently being handled by other people."
Zhuo Yu: "..." Incredibly extravagant!!!
It's clear that Zhuo Yu is struggling internally.
Most importantly, he came to Sixth Star Province for vacation! What's going on now?
While on vacation, I casually played a little game at the Morning Star Incubator...
That's one thing, but are you also going to make a AAA title on top of that?!
Zhuo Yu: I want to go on vacation!!
Mingyan: No, you don't want to :)
People who truly love games can't hide their passion.
Mingyan could see the passion in Zhuo Yu's eyes, but Zhuo Yu was still holding back. His past experiences had left him disheartened, and he dared not try again easily.
He said clearly, "It's alright, this project is estimated to start next year. You can think about it some more, my promise always stands."
Zhuo Yu swallowed hard.
He made it clear: "Including that 'mountain of gold and sea of silver,' I'll save it all for you."
Zhuo Yu: !!!
With such great sincerity, Zhuo Yu's persistence was practically on the verge of collapse.
Mingyan added casually, "If you're not comfortable working here on Blue Star, you can set up your own studio, and I'll entrust new projects to you directly. By the way, you might not be very familiar with Sixth Star Province yet, so I'll kindly lend you a villa to settle your team in; it's fully furnished."
Zhuo Yu: "………………"
Why?! Why can Chief Designer Ming be this extravagant, even though we're both game developers?!
That afternoon after get off work, Mingyan drove his car to pick up Zhuoyu to check out the surrounding area.
This villa is located next to a lake. The villa area is very quiet, with only about a dozen households.
There's a commercial street and a food court just two blocks away, making life very convenient.
Open the window and you'll see the beautiful scenery of the lake district.
A gentle breeze blows, and the water remains calm; it would not be an exaggeration to say that this is the dwelling place of a recluse or hermit.
The villa has three floors, with an underground garage, while the third floor is semi-open-air and has a small barbecue area.
The second floor is mainly a living area, while the first floor is a work area.
All the electronic devices needed for the game are provided.
There are also small, dark rooms and meeting rooms specifically for planning purposes, with the Blue Star logo displayed on a 3D projector.
