Every Idea Deserves Respect

After reading through the material and understanding the big picture, Xu Zhi buried himself in his research.

After two hours, Xu Zhi looked up from his research. He roughly understood why Dream Game Company's revenue had fallen so drastically.

In order to verify his idea, he turned on Qin Zishu's computer and played all three games once, confirming his judgment even more.

Saber 777 was the company's first game. It was similar to the Saber 9999 created by Zachary Games in his original world before he transmigrated to Bluestar.

When it was first released, it attracted a lot of attention. However, this game did not have any barriers to entry. After Dream Game Company made money from this game, other game companies immediately started to copy it. Although Dream Game Company kept updating the game, this year, Saber 777's monthly revenue was less than one million yuan.

Xu Zhi had just played for a while, and other than the screen full of flashing treasures, there was nothing outstanding about it.

After placing down the report on Saber 777, Xu Zhi did not pay much attention to this game.

The novelty of the players had long been washed away by a large number of similar games. Even if he released another game called Saber 888, it would be difficult to replicate the initial explosive success.

Meanwhile, the company launched Ghost's Dream the next year. Even Xu Zhi, who had seen too many games, had a surprised expression on his face.

He did not expect his wife to be able to make this game back then.

In Xu Zhi's view, this game was a little similar to the one in his previous life, Backfire Chill. However, due to the current quality of the graphics, this game did not reach the level of the games in his previous life. However, this game had earned a lot of attention back then, in the second year after it was launched, it became even more popular. It also allowed Dream Game Company to reach 1.1 billion yuan in revenue in just three years.

However, this kind of game was a novelty to play. After two years, this year's revenue dropped significantly. Even Dream Game Company's results were extremely dismal. However, they could still contribute 30 million yuan in revenue every month.

Xu Zhi had just tried it out, and he did not have too much critique. It could only be said that the decline in revenue was because the game's lifespan curve had exceeded its peak.

As for Dream Game Company's latest release, Real Battlefield, in Xu Zhi's view, it was a huge problem.

In short, Dream Game Company was using the web pages to run a shooting game. As he expected, it was easy for things to go wrong.

Xu Zhi had just tried it out. It was clearly a shooting game.

After entering the game, he carefully counted it and found that there were dozens of character values. This was not the end. The differences between the various firearms were extremely fine, it would probably take him at least a week to familiarize himself with the game.

This was not a big deal. It could attract a large number of die-hard fans, but this game was too focused on the quality of the graphics. The players' computers generally could not keep up with it. In fact, most internet cafes could not play it. In order to attract players, the company tried to compress the game,. In the end, there was only one game mode, which greatly reduced the interest from the target audience.

Although the game attracted a wave of attention in the first month of release, the revenue for the following months was decreasing. Today, there was only five million in monthly revenue, which was already beyond redemption.

These three games were all the treasures of Dream Game Company.

They might have been glorious in the past, but in Xu Zhi's eyes, they were like fallen leaves that had been hit by frost.

If there were no more new games in Dream Game Company, the company might not be able to last until next year if they only sustained themselves with savings. The company would have to lay off employees.

However, Qin Zishu had already set up a new game plan.

It was called 'Real Battlefield 2'.

Xu Zhi picked up the new game's information report and looked at it. His head immediately started to hurt.

"Still pursuing realism? Still adding data? Still adding guns? Adding new accessories??"

Looking at the information of the Real Battlefield 2, Xu Zhi did not see any appeal to it. The game only tried to emphasize on creating a realistic experience, just like the game's name. They even planned to deliberately increase the difficulty for the sake of realism.

This was simply taking a wrong path.

One had to know that the players in front of the game were all living people. Dealing with the real world was already tiring enough. They wanted to play games to relax. Yet, you made the game even more difficult to play than the real world.

Players were just looking to shoot some enemies, but in the end, you tell the players that they had to match seven or eight types of accessories with their guns first. If they matched incorrectly, the attributes of the guns would also be reduced. Was this not deliberately making things difficult for players?

A good game should make the players feel relaxed. They should simply carry their guns and attack, not make things difficult for the players.

In Xu Zhi's view, who was ten years ahead of this world, it was impossible for this Real Battlefield 2 to succeed.

Putting everything else aside, if it was so difficult to even shoot, were you trying to tire the players to death? Not to mention how long it would take for the players to learn. Even if it was developed by a good company, how many players would accept a game like this in the current market?

Perhaps in the internal view of Dream Game Company, this game needed to constantly pursue realism and constantly increase the various data in order to be successful, but Xu Zhi did not think so.

The game was more about providing the greatest entertainment value for the players. If the players were to play your game and laugh, be happy, and be excited, then your game would be successful.

The quality of the graphics should never have taken the first priority in the game!

In his previous life, there was a simple game about shooting paper aeroplanes. However, it was extremely popular. There were even many simple word games that became popular overnight.

Moreover, the quality of the graphics of Real Battlefield 2 was not very good in Xu Zhi's eyes.

After putting down the information about Real Battlefield 2, Xu Zhi rubbed his eyebrows. He was thinking about how he could use his ideas from his previous life to use it in this world.

As for Real Battlefield 2, Xu Zhi had already completely rejected it.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Xu Zhi's mind, and glanced at a file cabinet in Qin Zishu's office.

He opened the file cabinet and inside were game proposals from previous years. These were the proposals that were rejected by the company.

In other companies, these kinds of abandoned proposals would have been thrown into the trash, but Qin Zishu still kept them in her office.

In a corner of the filing cabinet, there was a row of beautiful words: 'Every idea deserves respect!'

"Good wife, you're so kind."

Xu Zhi gave a thumbs up to Qin Zishu, who was about to arrive in Shanghai.

From the filing cabinet, he pulled out all kinds of rejected proposals. They formed a pile that was almost as tall as a person. Xu Zhi simply sat on the ground and flipped through them one by one.

Compared to writing them himself, Xu Zhi still wanted to explore the potential of Dream Game Company first.

He read them very quickly. He wanted to find a game that could capture his attention. He wanted a game that could tickle his heart.

However, to Xu Zhi's disappointment, many of these proposals were not worth reading.

Just as Xu Zhi was thinking about whether or not he should write one himself, he suddenly saw a title.

'Jumping the Line of Fire'.

This made Xu Zhi suddenly think of a popular shooting game in his previous life. It was the signature game of the Tengda Company, and it supported Tengda Company through difficult times.

Would this plan have the qualities he wanted?

Xu Zhi was looking forward to it.

He flipped it open and looked at it carefully. A smile gradually appeared on his face.

He said to himself, "It's time to hold a meeting."
