I have to say that the report submitted by this employee really hit the spot for Nanaya.
The success of "Magic Record" has allowed [See Moon]'s game department to accumulate a lot of experience.
How to make a card game and maximize the capabilities of card games.
[See Moon] is very familiar with this entire process.
As the world's largest streaming platform, [See Moon] not only has a mobile game R&D department, but also has almost perfect publicity channels and a large number of [See Moon] website users.
It can be said that a mobile game goes through a lot of steps, from selecting an IP, to research and development, to promotion and distribution, to advertising to target users, and even to guiding user consumption.
All of this can be done within the [See Moon] platform.
When a project can be operated internally alone, a lot of manpower and material resources can be saved.
Combined with Nanaya's memory of FGO operation in his previous life, it would not be difficult to realize what this employee said, that is, to make a skin-changing game based on "Magic Record".
But then what?
What happens after you make this game?
Even in the golden age of mobile games that Nanaya is familiar with, when countless new mobile games were launched every month.
There are still many games that are forced to be removed from the platform.
Apart from some individual cases, there is only one reason why most games are shut down - poor revenue.
Not to mention that this is an era when smartphones have not yet become standard equipment for people.
Mobile gaming is a very competitive industry.
FGO has indeed made a name for itself with the Fate IP, but that is also based on continuous operational efforts.
If the FGO operation playing dead is not modified, then no matter how many sows there are, they will be constantly discouraged.
Although the operation of FGO has always been considered to be one of the worst among its peers.
But at least it is much better than some operations in China that like to play dead.
It can only be said that the differences between people are revealed through comparison, and this is particularly evident in game operations.
Of course FGO will do it, and it must do it.
After all, mobile games make so much money.
But it is obviously not mature enough to develop FGO now, as the right time, place and people are not in place.
As an extension game of a film and television IP, FGO is bound to take advantage of the popularity of the movie.
But now the first FGO movie has not been released, so this is not the best time to develop this game.
On the other hand, although "Magic Record" has achieved a good start, whether it can continue to operate in the long run is another matter.
Nanaya has seen too many games that had huge revenue in the first month after being launched, but became completely unpopular the next month due to the poor management of the operation.
Even with Nanaya's guidance, it is unlikely that "Magic Record" will be shut down before its first anniversary.
But immature operations will definitely lead to various problems.
No, it should be said that the problem has already broken out.
On the first day of the service opening, there were too many players, causing the server to freeze.
As a result, the operations team had no idea how to handle the situation, which led to a barrage of criticism online.
If Nanaya hadn't acted decisively, he would have first announced the suspension of the game service and asked the technical team to urgently expand the server.
Then, sufficient compensation rewards were given to all players in the name of the official.
In fact, in the first month of operation, there were really too many small problems of various kinds.
FGO is Nanaya's trump card that Type-Moon hopes will surpass Marvel and become a super IP, but the current team of [See Moon] will definitely not be able to do it.
Although Nanaya agreed with what the employee said, Type-Moon would definitely make money by releasing a mobile game.
However, Nanaya did not quite agree with the other party's claim that it was a reskinned game.
FGO and "Magic Record" are indeed both card games, and their styles are similar.
But they are still two games after all.
Although Nanaya has always wanted to modify the game mechanism of FGO to make it more interesting and convenient for players.
But it is definitely not possible to just copy it directly from "Magic Record".
Nanaya glanced at the employee's name.
It's not Ye Liangshu, nor is it Shiokawa Yosuke, and certainly not Shoji Kenjin.
In fact, it is obvious that this is impossible, because the company DELiGHTWORKS where those three work is a subsidiary of Sony.
Although Washimine Entertainment and Sony Columbia are currently in a honeymoon period, the two sides have even started the first round of negotiations on the issue of borrowing copyright for Spider-Man: Homecoming.
In the field of gaming, Sony and Washimine remain sworn enemies.
The employee who submitted the materials is named Yakumo Mitama, an ordinary Japanese employee in the [See Moon] game department.
Although the last name Yakumo easily reminds people of an old lady who is always 17 years old, I think it is just the same last name.
Nanaya pinched his chin, thinking about something quietly.
Looking up at the time, Nanaya found that it was almost ten o'clock.
Originally, Nanaya wanted to take a look at the resume of this person named Yakumo Mitama, but at this time, the human resources department of [See Moon] should have been off work.
[See Moon], which is headquartered in North America, has a majority of employees who are native Americans. Unless there are special circumstances, it is impossible for them to stay and work overtime.
Therefore, Nanaya had to give up the idea of contacting the Human Resources Department to find out the situation.
"That's all for today."
Nanaya let out a long sigh, but there was no response from Sera in his ears.
"Um?"
Nanaya looked back and found Sera standing motionless against the wall.
From her even breathing, it seemed that Sera was asleep.
[Are you a horse? You can fall asleep while standing. ]
Nanaya shook his head, he was a little bit unable to complain.
This maid, who is usually very serious, would actually do such a thing.
Although it is boring to just stand there and wait for someone, Sera probably fell asleep because she was too tired.
Nanaya did not give Sera the order to stand.
If Sera was really sleepy, she could just go to the sofa and take a nap.
But Sera forced herself to stand and fell asleep.
Nanaya didn't know whether to say that she was stubborn or confused.
Although the serious maid looked very cute in this state, Nanaya still decided to wake her up.
Even if she needs to rest, she cannot sleep standing up.
"Ahem."
Nanaya coughed twice, but Sera didn't respond at all.
"Really…"
This put Nanaya in a bit of a dilemma. If he made a loud noise, it would definitely wake Sera up, but it would definitely scare her.
But if you don't use sound...
Nanaya reached out and poked Sera on the shoulder.
"…"
Sera still seemed unresponsive.
Nanaya's fingers began to move towards the cheek, and just as his fingers were about to touch the other's face, Sera's eyes opened.
"Nanaya, what are you doing?"
Sera looked at Nanaya.
"Well..."
Nanaya withdrew his fingers awkwardly, "I just wanted to wake you up."
Sera's face flushed slightly.
It was clearly a dereliction of duty for a maid to fall asleep while her employer was working.
Even so, Sera said stubbornly: "I'm not asleep."
[I don't believe you! I'm almost drooling. ]
Nanaya curled his lips. He would not believe what the dead Sera said.
Sera also knew that Nanaya would not believe it, so she hurriedly asked: "Nanaya, are you taking a break? Do you need me to make you another cup of coffee?"
"No."
Nanaya stretched and stood up.
"The work is done. Let's go back. It's already past ten o'clock."
"Got it. I'll go get the car ready."
Sera nodded, then left the office before Nanaya.
In fact, Nanaya could go to the underground parking garage with Sera.
But now Sera just wants to be apart from Nanaya for a while.
Even if it's just driving the car from the garage to the road, it would be fine as long as it can ease my embarrassment.
Nanaya certainly knew what Sera was thinking. He took something out of the drawer of his desk and threw it to Sera.
"This is for you."
Sera took it and saw that it was a bottle of nutritional supplement, and it was the kind that was specifically for boosting energy.
"I won't fall asleep at the wheel."
Sera's eyebrows frowned slightly, she felt that Nanaya looked down upon her.
"I'm just concerned." Nanaya didn't seem to notice Sera's expression. "Isn't it hard for you to follow me recently?"
"...I see."
Sera unscrewed the bottle and drank all the drink inside, then threw the empty bottle back to Nanaya.
"Then I'll go drive."
When he reached the door, he paused for a moment and asked, "Would you like a midnight snack when you get home?"
Sera's big red eyes turned and looked at Nanaya expectantly.
[I always feel like you're smiling. Where's the three-no maid you promised me? And what's behind this smile...]
"Okay, please arrange it."
Nanaya twitched the corner of his mouth, but he was indeed a little hungry.
Although Nanaya really wanted to find a restaurant nearby to have a hearty midnight snack.
This is Manhattan Island. As the most prosperous commercial district in New York, there are naturally many luxury hotels here.
However, Nanaya believed that Sera would never agree, so he simply did not mention it to avoid being lectured.
The reason is very simple. Eating big fish, meat or greasy food so late at night is not good for your health.
Although the relationship between Nanaya and Sera is that Nanaya employs Sera.
But according to Sera herself, guiding her employer to develop good living habits is what a real maid should do.
Therefore, the midnight snacks that Sera gave to Nanayajun were always very simple and plain food.
"Today's midnight snack should probably be bread."
Nanaya guessed this as he took the elevator downstairs.
Nanaya was not wrong.
Sera actually prepared two loaves of oatmeal bread and... a bottle of nutritional supplements for him.
It was the same brand as the one that Nanaya gave Sera in the office, the only difference was that the one Nanaya gave Sera was for refreshing.
What Sera prepared for Nanaya was to aid sleep.
"She definitely did it on purpose." Nanaya said and drank the drink.
