In 2008, Fengji was leading "Asura" at Tencent, coincidentally another Monkey King game.
The game eventually lost itโs way as the focus shifted from fun to revenue.
Fengji believed that games should be โfun first.โ
In 2014, Feng Ji left with 7 colleagues to form Game Science.
They started with mobile games to pay the bills.
Their first two games ended up as complete flops.
Feng Ji held onto his dream of creating a single-player masterpiece. He was just waiting for the right moment.
By 2016, Steam's data showed 1/3 of its active users were from China.
Development skills has caught on. Chinese gamers craved high-quality experiences.
It was clear the market was ready.
Feng Ji said, "We're willing to burn ourselves, but we're not moths flying to the fire.โ
League of Legends saved Feng.
He forged a close bond with Daniel Wu. They became late-night gaming buddies.
In 2017, Wu bet big on Feng Ji's vision, buying 20% of Game Science for $8.5M.
Despite losses on earlier projects, Wu kept faith.
A true ride or die partner.
Feng Ji hated the mobile game model of in-app purchases and endless monetization.
He believed it killed the true essence of gaming.
This resulted to the company splitting into 2 teams.
One team to keep making mobile games, while he moved on to fulfill his single player dream.
On February 25, 2018, Game Science takes the plunge into AAA development.
The team went all in. They quit jobs, sold properties, and went 4-5 years without income.
Wu provided additional funding and contributed a "large chunk" of the $70M budget.
Black Myth: Wukong was born.
Feng Jiโs vision was clear: create a global game rooted in traditional Chinese culture.
- The team read the novel โJourney to the Westโ 100+ times.
- They visited countless cultural sites.
- Created 1.2 billion models for the Monkey Kingโs armor.
Authenticity was everything.
Creating Chinaโs first AAA game was no joke:
The team grew from 7 to 30 and couldnโt find required talent.
They faced challenges in adapting new technologies such as the Unreal Engine.
Wu and Feng called themselves โtwo drowning rats.โ
They were on the brink of failure.
August 2020 was the turning point.
A 13-minute gameplay trailer went viral.
2M views on YouTube, 25M on Bilibili.
โข 10,000 job applications
โข The team grew to 140 employees
โข Tencent bought a 5% stake
What was meant to be a recruitment video became a global sensation.
"When you are at the peak of confidence, you are also staring at the valley of foolishness."

China, Iran tap AI to influence U.S. election, warn experts
Deceptive online actors from Iran and China are trying to manipulate U.S. public opinion ahead of the presidential election, using artificial intelligence to craft appeals that sound more natural to the American audience, experts warn.

Superintelligence is within reach.
Building safe superintelligence (SSI) is the most important technical problem of ourโโ time.
We've started the worldโs first straight-shot SSI lab, with one goal and one product: a safe superintelligence.
Itโs called Safe Superintelligence Inc.
SSI is our mission, our name, and our entire product roadmap, because it is our sole focus. Our team, investors, and business model are all aligned to achieve SSI.
We approach safety and capabilities in tandem, as technical problems to be solved through revolutionary engineering and scientific breakthroughs. We plan to advance capabilities as fast as possible while making sure our safety always remains ahead.
This way, we can scale in peace.
Our singular focus means no distraction by management overhead or product cycles, and our business model means safety, security, and progress are all insulated from short-term commercial pressures.
We are an American company with offices in Palo Alto and Tel Aviv, where we have deep roots and the ability to recruit top technical talent.
We are assembling a lean, cracked team of the worldโs best engineers and researchers dedicated to focusing on SSI and nothing else.
If thatโs you, we offer an opportunity to do your lifeโs work and help solve the most important technical challenge of our age.
Now is the time. Join us.
