It took quite a bit of effort for Lincoln to handle these old professors with the help of Lorin.
Young researchers took the stage next, studying the technical information and figuring out how to disassemble the large machine.
It couldn’t be helped; this prototype was too big and had to be disassembled to be transported.
Lincoln looked at the time and didn’t have the patience to wait any longer – he had a lot to do today.
He put aside the notion of looking after other people’s feelings, quickly disassembled the equipment into five parts, and then left.
Lorin failed to stop him in time.
Hitching a ride with Yue Pengju, Lincoln hurried to Dream Cloud Studio today was really going to be busy!
The finance staff recommended by Lorin, along with the newly recruited Marketing Department Director, would have to go through an interview with him personally.
As for which of the three financial staff to keep? That was a joke – would they lack that salary? Keep them all!
Divide and conquer, reduce work pressure, and supervise each other.
Although Dream Cloud’s current needs weren’t too large, future external collaborations were inevitable, so it was better to have a reserve of talents in advance.
The candidate for the Marketing Department Director was a man named Jerome. He went through the screening process with Mavis, Quentina’s review and interview, and finally reached the last stage of the boss’s interview, proving he was quite a rare talent.
If everything went smoothly, today’s interview would just be a formality, after which he could send the new hire to deal with the Southern Branch’s person in charge.
— Randall wasn’t sure what the significance was for other brands entering the game world, but in Lincoln’s mind, this was the beginning of e-commerce-entering virtual worlds !
As for ordinary interns, there was no need to get to know each one. There were too many people and there was no way to remember them all, and the Dream Cloud Studio was already filling up.
Lincoln was also planning to find a new headquarters, aiming to buy an entire building this time!
Of course, this wasn’t a 30-40 story tall building – signing and moving into such a skyscraper often takes a considerable amount of time, and Dream Cloud’s current expansion speed simply couldn’t afford to wait.
It wasn’t like everyone could actually stay at home and work in a virtual office, was it?
After handling these Dersonnel matters. Lincoln started watching the “Light
Encounter” trailer produced by Little Chun’s team.
The trailer began with the white-robed protagonist from “Traveler of the Wind” wearing a long rune scarf and taking off from pink sand, flying up into the clouds. The lens switched, and the long scarf gradually turned into specks of light in the glow and blended into the cloak.
The view shifted to a bird’s eye perspective, and the sand below had vanished, just as a small mountain peak appeared amid the vast sea of clouds.
Without the scarf and relying solely on the cloak for flight, the tiny character moved more gracefully and smoothly. The character’s style subtly changed as it dived toward the mountain.
The layout of the mountain appeared like an arrangement of large rocks, but only for a fleeting moment.
The images immediately switched to new maps, different costumes, accessories, amusing moves, wonderful interactions among players, and the colossal awe of the Abyssal Dragon…
Lincoln nodded in satisfaction, giving a generous thumbs-up: “Perfect! Sister
Tung, release this directly!”
“Alright!” Little Chun’s all-female army had expanded to eight people, with Camille Victoria also among the crowd, all clapping and cheering together. Little Chun looked at Randall, who was clapping his hands, with a smile on her face.
Then, Lincoln eagerly asked, ‘What about ‘Assassin’s Weekly’? Show it to me quickly.”
He hadn’t been able to pay close attention to the players’ activities due to his hectic days lately, so he was really looking forward to seeing it now.
But when he took the tablet that Randall handed him, what he saw was an…
electronic newspaper!?
With a stunned expression, Lincoln looked up at them and asked, “You made an electronic newspaper?”
“Right, what’s wrong with that?” Fred was a bit puzzled. Publicizing game data as a promotion is nothing new in the industry, and they’ve even done it themselves before.
Generally, it’s about announcing the game’s sales figures, breaking some records, letting players know that their game is great and that many people are playing it. Hurry up and buy, buy, buy!
So, when Lincoln mentioned the Weekly, they subconsciously replicated what they’ve done in the past, creating a “newspaper” and even conscientiously listing the player activity data he mentioned.
Lincoln looked at the tablet in his hand, speechless. You can’t say they didn’t put in effort – after all, they made eight different versions in just one day.
But when it came to praising their effort, he couldn’t get past his inner self.
“At least make a video! The data is a bit dull. It’s all sales figures, number of players at various levels, number of players who cleared the game, total number of player deaths… too dry!”
Lincoln thought for a moment, “Forget it, I’ll make the first issue myself and set an example for you guys.”
With that thought, he looked up, “Let’s release the trailer for ‘Light Encounter’ first. I’ll go work on the Weekly, everyone get back to your own tasks.”
Lincoln logged into the virtual world, and Mavis appeared by his side right away, happily hugging his arm and calling out to him, “Master!”
Lincoln responded with a nod, patting her head, and then took her to the Metropolitan TV Station.
There were indeed staff and two hosts here, but they wouldn’t really broadcast different news every day – their behavior was pre-programmed, and they would repeat the same thing every day.
As for the news broadcasted on the TV, most of them were pre-recorded. The production team produced a total of 126 news pieces, shuffled randomly and combined them to give players the illusion that the news is different each time they watch it.
Manv of them were also long-term broadcasted bountv news. making the repeated appearance of the news more reasonable.
In addition, Lincoln made a special mechanism: when a player was wanted, their news would also be automatically synchronized into the news broadcast.
This way, players could see their own wanted messages on TV while evading pursuit, adding a bit of immersion.
Lincoln came here because of the tight schedule and not having time for anything fancy. He decided to make use of existing resources to create a special “News Weekly. ”
On the other hand, many players were eagerly waiting for Cloud Dream’s update early in the morning.
Following tradition, Friday is the day Cloud Dream releases news and forecasts the number of Mirage Consoles available the next day. But this time, they waited until the afternoon.
Many players even began to comment under Cloud Dream’s last post, urging Cloud Dream to announce it quickly.
In the midst of all these calls, Cloud Dream’s Spiritual Rhinoceros account finally posted a new update.
But it wasn’t about the Mirage Console, but –
‘”Traveler of the Wind” sister piece – “Light Encounter”
— Let’s embark on a brand-new journey together!’
Upon seeing this update, the players were stunned. They couldn’t even bother to play the trailer, instead immediately opening the comment section to express their surprise.
“Where’s the promised console? Are you still selling it or not?” “What’s this? A new game? And it’s a sister piece to ‘Wind Traveler’?” “When did you silently develop another game?! Is this even human speed?!”
“So it takes others two or three years to make a game, but you only need two or three weeks ”
“I hereby suggest that the Flying Fox development team go to Cloud Dream Studio to learn advanced techniques. Even if they only learn a little bit, it won’t make ‘The Last Moment’ get delayed for the third time in a row!”
“Enough with the useless talk, I only have one question – where’s the purchase link!”
