The Boss Behind The Game Chapter 12
Chapter 12: There’s An Inside Story?
Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
It was simple for Wu Guoyi to make a suggestion, but they would have to incur expenses to hire
someone topose music and write songs for them, not to mention the heavy expenses of inviting a
big artist. It was absolutely impossible for Lu Wu to afford the expenses based on his current budget.
Therefore, Lu Wu decided to abandon the n for the time being. He will consider the theme song
when he is flush with cash after the game development grows in magnitude.
Wu Guoyi was very surprised to hear that Lu Wu had no intention to create a theme song and the
background music for the trailer’s battle scene. However, Lu Wu was doing it for the purpose of giving
an honest-to-goodness experience for the yers.
Wu Guoyi had nothing much to say about this, he simply thought that Lu Wu had quite a different way
of thinking and never would have thought that Lu Wu was simply doing so because he didn’t have any
money.
After all, in his opinion, although the game development team did not have ample funds in creating a
game of such scale, they could not have been short of money to create a theme song.
After hanging up the call, Wu Guoyi logged in to the admin page of tform173 and went through the
fifteen games that were selected and given a score of more than eight by the game evaluators.
Among these, there were three games that had been given a higher score than 9 by the game
evaluators.
They were Battle Online – 10, Natural Evolution – 9.2, and The Rise of Protoss – 9.1.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.
The look on Wu Guoyi’s face said he had expected it when he saw that Battle Online was at the top of
the rank. All the eight game evaluators had given a perfect score, unanimously believing in the
potential of this game.
Since the evaluation was out, Wu Guoyi made the decision right away to let the yers vote and rank
the yer Killer charts for these fifteen games, starting from tomorrow.
On the first day of the promotion event, they would obviously start with the three games that received
the highest score andplete the promotion event of all fifteen games in five days. After that, they
would have to wait for half a month for the final evaluation.
Of course, Wu Guoyi had informed Lu Wu in advance about the news, leaving Lu Wu and Bei Li
excited. They believed that, based on the quality of the game, they would absolutely gain many die-
hard fans.
……
Meanwhile, in the general headquarters of Tamron Game Studios, downtown Shenkai City.
“Boss, look, the game evaluation on tform173 is out!” a small man with spectacles said excitedly
while looking at the message on the ount on tform173.
“Holy shit, boss, we got a score of 9.2!”
The man who was known as the boss quickly walked over to the monitor upon hearing that, and a grin
rose onto his face when he saw the number 9.2.
It had taken them a total of seven years toe out with Natural Evolution. They had invested an
enormous effort in the game.
Whaty behind the score was their painstaking efforts of working against the clock, day and night.
“It seems like the number one game…” the man was just about to say that the number one ranking was
in the bag before he realized that there was actually another game above his game.
“Battle Online, a score of 10!” the smile on Li Tianxia’s face suddenly froze.
He sent away the employee and sat in front of theputer with an uncertain expression on his face.
Li Tianxia was of the view that the game developed by his game studio would be ranked first for sure.
However, there was actually another game that received a perfect score. Li Tianxia was unable to
ept this for a while, he even suspected that there was an inside story behind this activity. He could
not believe that his game would lose to another!
He opened the homepage of Battle Online to have a look. It further affirmed his spection that there
was an inside dope when he saw the brief introduction of the game that received a perfect score. It was
written almost 100% real in the introduction.
Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks
He took out his phone immediately, flipped through the contact list and gave Wu Guoyi a call when he
found his number.
Ring… ring…
The phone got through after a while.
“Younger Brother Li, we haven’t gotten in touch for a long time, howe you have the time to call me
today?” Wu Guoyi’s joyful smile could be heard from the phone.
“Older Brother Wu, I treat you as my brother and participated in the game evaluation activity that you
nned, but you manipted from behind the scenes instead. You seriously have no regard for me at
all!” Li Tianxia said in a low tone while suppressing his anger from bursting out.
Wu Guoyi was stunned at first when he heard about that, then a fire of anger rose inside him. He
thought the person in charge of the activity that he nned was manipting under the table, which
was something that he absolutely could not tolerate.
“Tell me what’s going on, Younger Brother. I will definitely give you an exnation if there’s really
something wrong on my side!”
Li Tianxia’s anger reduced after Wu Guoyi gave him the promise, he then opened his mouth and said,
“You should know that our team spent seven years developing Natural Evolution, right?”
“Of course, how can I not know about the treasured-sword that your Tamron Game Studios have spent
seven years to sharpen? I remember that your game was ranked in the top ten game expectations
chartst time.”
“Since you know about it, can you please exin to me what’s the matter with the game, Battle Online!”
Wu Guoyi suddenly came to understand the reason why Li Tianxia called him. He did not know whether
to cry orugh in his mind, “Younger Brother Li is saying that you feel unjust and is not convinced that
Battle Online should be ranked first?”
“I would be convinced if the game was well-developed, but the game has a total size of 800 megabytes
with an introduction saying that it is almost 100% real, yet you rank it the first and even shamelessly
gave it a perfect score. I just want to know how much benefits this game has given to you that you have
to promote it in this way. Aren’t you afraid that this will ruin the authority of your tform?”
Li Tianxia spat out everything he wanted to say in one breath.
Wu Guoyi burst into loudughter at this moment, “Younger Brother Li, I finally understand why you’re
being so angry. Alright, since all the games in the top three will be released to the homepage of the
tform for promoting them, why don’t you download the game and try? If you’re still of the opinion that
this game doesn’t deserve the score of 10, I’ll take it down from the tform myself and put your game
as number one. What do you think?”
“I’ll leave the discretionary power to you. I’m showing a lot of sincerity, right?” Wu Guoyi smiled and
continued saying.
Li Tianxia intended to raise hell to Wu Guoyi at first but was left in confusion, “Older Brother Wu, what
exactly do you mean?”
“You won’t believe me no matter how much I say. The game will beunched on the tform tomorrow,
just give me a reply after you have experienced the game yourself. That’s it, I’ve got something else to
do. I will hang up now.”
Li Tianxia’s eyebrows were frowning after Wu Guoyi hung up the phone.
He could tell from Wu Guoyi’s tone that he seemed to have no suspicions about this ranking. Besides,
apparently he had a lot of faith in Battle Online that he even told him to experience the game. Li Tianxia
was unable to make sense of this situation.
Nheless, Li Tianxia did not believe that the game developed by his own team would lose.
He would feel better if he were to lose to The Rise of Protoss made by Devil Wolf Studios. After all,
many yers were anticipating this game when it was still in the development stage. Besides, the
public oftenpared these two games as they would beunched at the same time to see which
game was better.
Li Tianxia was in aplete disbelief as he had lost to a game with an introduction that looked
extremely unreal, and that was never heard before. This was mainly owing to the reason that all the
games with big productions would have been advertised publicly beforeunching.
“It’sunching tomorrow, right? I would like to see how excellent this game actually is!”
