Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 1062: Chapter 979: Boss, it’s Time to Fill in the Pit!_1 Chapter 1062: Chapter 979: Boss, it’s Time to Fill in the Pit!_1 Randall and Fred successfully dissuaded Lincoln, which left no other issues to address.

The game’s development was already coming to an end, and this game had quite a few restrictions for players—

It was not like before, where players could wander around the world at will; rather, the players’ abilities and activity areas were limited, so the amount of effort required in the later stages was much less than the previous two games.

The only problem was the concern about difficulty.

Now that Lincoln had taken their advice, other problems weren’t problems anymore.

So, Lincoln turned to the third matter.

Mavis also drew a line through “Chang’an: Dark Soul” on the paper.

“Next is another new game, which might be beyond your expectations.”

Everyone present turned their attention to him.

Lincoln continued—

“Gravity, a relatively hardcore space survival game.”

Everyone around the small conference table widened their eyes and exclaimed:

“What??”

They all thought that Lincoln was going to talk about [Pandora].

But…

What the hell is “Gravity”?!

“Gravity?”

“Space?”

“Survival?”

“Hardcore?”

Little Chun, Randall, Fred and Jason each repeated the word that intrigued them the most.

“Yes,” Lincoln nodded, “The basic storyline is that the player carries out tasks in space, repairing a space telescope located in low Earth orbit.

But the spacecraft is severely damaged by space debris.

Under such circumstances, players must find a way to survive, eventually managing to safely land back on Earth.”

“After the meeting, I will open up the internal testing permissions, so everyone interested can try it out.”

After summarizing the storyline, he started assigning tasks: “This game is already quite refined, with a straightforward process, no need for extensive testing.

During the testing for ‘Chang’an’, we can invite a few players to test it.

”

“However, remember, this process has to be kept secret, because I plan to let the players decide the game’s release date.”

“Huh?”

Fred was confused again, “How can we let the players decide?”

“You all know about those space-time fragments formed during the [Multidimensional Spacetime Tunnel], right?”

“Of course.” Everyone nodded in agreement.

“One of them is a fragment from the ‘Gravity’ world.

I will tweak a few details to make it possible for players to survive.

Once someone manages to log in and survive, we will timely release the game trailer.”

This offhand idea, though lacking in business logic, did not meet any objections in the room.

Everyone, already used to their boss’s unconventional approach, accepted the arrangement without any hesitation.

They ended the meeting in high spirits, eager to experience the new game and see what intriguing gameplay Lincoln had come up with.

Only Samuel, focused on his job, asked about the publicity: “Can we collaborate with Daxia Space Center?”

As a supervisor of the Operation Department, Samuel had to be concerned.

However, once launched, Lincoln usually didn’t involve himself in the game anymore, leaving it to the Operation Department to handle the follow-up responsibilities.

Lincoln first nodded, then shook his head.

“??” Samuel was a bit confused.

Fortunately, Lincoln quickly explained: “We can do some superficial collaboration, but not too deep.”

“Many details about the Space Center are confidential, including many of the training projects.

That’s why I gave up on incorporating all the projects into the game to let players experience.”

Lincoln sounded somewhat disappointed.

But Samuel and the others were speechless—

The whole world was engaged in a space race, with rockets being shot into the sky.

The Daxia Space Center, being a special unit that maintained complete confidentiality, would be strange if they did not need to keep secrets at this point, right?

Samuel shook his head and said, “That’s enough, as long as we can get a real astronaut who has been to space to play the game and interview them briefly.”

“That’s simple!

I’ll get the commander from our last mission for you.”

“That would be great!” Samuel was thrilled.

Due to the enormous attention Lincoln’s space mission received, netizens were quite familiar with the commander, Stacy.

Having him in the advertisement would be a perfect fit.

As for whether “an astronaut publicly endorsing a game” might violate any rules or regulations…

Samuel chose to trust in his boss’s influence.

“Next up, the new project development.”

“‘Pacific Rim’ differs from our previous projects because it needs a lot of maintenance and updates, so the team should not rush to split up.

After completing the round of rest, let’s start with a small project to fill in the gap.”

“Remember the spaceship we left in the wilderness after the New Year’s activities in ‘Hunter’ game?”

“I remember that!” Jason responded hurriedly, “That spaceship shot a beam into space, I’ve always been curious what would happen next…”

Not just that, he also thinks about the [Rift in Time and Space] on Dinosaur Island from time to time.

Each time, he gets restless, wondering what kind of content the boss is going to add.

But Lincoln didn’t mention it, leaving him frustrated!

Lincoln nodded, “Right!

The mission we’re doing this time follows that clue.”

“A group of alien monsters follow the signal issued by the spaceship to Earth, bringing disaster and destruction.”

“They move as fast as lightning, and their bodies are impervious to swords and guns.

Although they lack vision, their hearing is extremely acute, and they harbor extreme malice towards humans.”

“Humans have almost no power to resist them.

The only thing they can do is [Stay Quiet] and [Hide for Survival].”

“So …” Jason quickly grasped the key point, “A horror-themed game?”

“Right.” Lincoln confirmed, “The name is — ‘Silent Land,’ I’ll send you some clips.”

For this game, he does not plan to get his hands dirty.

After all, for the Cloud Dream now, this level of game is really just a “small project”.

Ɲοѵǥᴑ.сο

It’s something the team unveils during the transition phase to fill in the schedule.

Once ‘Pacific Rim’ is fully settled, this game should be done too.

Then the team can merge again and start working on a big project.

Jason nodded in understanding.

But, seeing the topic moved towards “filling the hole”, Samuel promptly asked: “Boss, when will the rift on Dinosaur Island be filled?

Players are asking every day, it has never stopped.”

“That…” Lincoln scratched his chin, looking towards Little Chun, “Sister Tung, how is the progress of your DLC?”

“It should be done in half a month.” Little Chun replied without haste.

What they’re talking about now, is not the [Pokémon] DLC, but the one after that — the [Night Parade of One Hundred Demons] DLC.

After Lincoln demonstrated how to draw [Shuten Douji], a new world was opened for those beauticians, and they were now eagerly drawing all kinds of erotic monsters.

The fact is, they had all drawn erotic pictures before during their learning or practicing process, but the degree of eroticism varied.

They just never thought they could draw erotic pictures openly and serenely at the company…

Now their work process is to first draw an erotic version of the monster, share experiences with each other, then slowly tone down the eroticism.

The final product is a monster that’s cute but still erotic, without a hint of scariness.

Little Chun was surprised.

She was one of the few in the team who hadn’t drawn much erotic art…

“Since you’re about to finish, would you be interested in developing a ‘muscular man’ game?”

“A muscular man game?” Little Chun was a bit puzzled.

“It’s about a group of muscular men and women, hunting various large fierce beasts with huge weapons.” Lincoln explained.

“An expansion of the hunting island gameplay?

The content after the rift?”

“Yes.” Lincoln nodded.

Switching from cute little monsters to wild, muscular men is undoubtedly a huge gap.

But Little Chun didn’t hesitate at all, she bravely took on the task: “Very interested, leave it to us!”

Not only was Little Chun interested, but her team members were also very excited and couldn’t help but whisper amongst themselves.

“Alright, you guys continue with [Night Parade of One Hundred Demons].

After you’re done, let’s discuss the new project together.”

This time, of course, Lincoln wasn’t going to throw out a movie and wash his hands of it.

The reason is simple —

The movie “Monster Hunter” is simply indescribable!
