Chapter 8: Set up a studio
""Born to Death", a love letter from the dead to the living."
"Highly recommended, a thousand years of loneliness, just for your arrival."
"It's fun, no explanation."
"Game The only drawback is that it is actually a horror game. Well, the game is a bit short, which is really scary."
"Alpha, my daughter!"
"Upstairs, you are my father-in-law!"
"Get out! You cybernetic. Copper addiction!"
"Get out! Alpha is thousands of years older than us!"
"The game producer Fang Cheng is definitely a genius, but he also shows his unparalleled bad taste. "The Second Son of the Forest" has already shown its A genius in scene construction, "Born to Die" shows its excellence in plot. However, the name of the former can be called a tragedy, and the type of the latter is simply a disaster. But if I say, such a genius of bad taste , the more, the better."
On the bed, Fang Cheng looked at the comments on the steam platform and felt a little incredible.
Tens of thousands of recommendations directly pushed the game to the "Specially Positive" position, which shows that most players find the game very fun.
The Water Vapor platform even gave a small space, which can be regarded as a free promotion.
But...
what he wants to do is obviously a horror game!
Huge behemoths should bring an indescribable sense of oppression, the helpless climbing process should be full of danger and oppression, and frequent failures should make players frustrated.
But why...
do you think this game is healing and the characters are cute?
Is it really so difficult to unify our understanding of fun?
Just when Fang Cheng was frowning and thinking, a call came in.
Finding it was Teacher Shen, Fang Cheng answered the phone and heard Teacher Shen's excited voice.
"Fang Cheng, I really belong to you!"
"Teacher Shen, I..."
"I thought you wanted to make a horror game, but I didn't expect to make a platform jumping game. You still have a little humor, but next time Don't do this again."
"I do..."
"You can't waste your talent. Let that stupid guy die because he has no vision. A guy who is only thinking about money is not qualified to manage a genius like you. I'm going to say Dong Tianyi will set up a new studio, and you will be the producer."
"But..."
"Don't want to go? Oh, I understand, it's really uncomfortable to work for others. So, I'll help you apply for an office, and you can go by yourself Open a studio. I still have some respect for loans and so on. I can help you apply for an interest-free loan, which is considered to be a support for newcomers. It’s okay if you can’t pay it back. I’ll help you pay it back."
"..."
"Go and recruit more. Personally, I want to make a big one. And don’t make free games. You have to charge money for the game."
Fang Cheng finally found an opportunity and quickly asked: "Why do you need to charge money?"
Fang Cheng could feel it through his mobile phone. to the other person's confusion.
Half a minute later, Teacher Shen said, "You can't dig other people's roads."
After Teacher Shen's explanation, Fang Cheng finally understood.
Games are actually very expensive.
Even though AI technology is very advanced, art costs money, programming costs money, planning costs money, and the cost of trial and error in developing a gameplay is also money. Some people can use love to generate electricity, but most gamers regard games as a job, and normal free services will not affect their jobs.
But Fangcheng is an exception.
Ultra-high game quality will impact the game market and create a not-so-good effect.
When a new game appears, others will point to Fangcheng's game and say: "There are no free games to play, how dare you charge money?"
Although some junk games will be delisted as a result, more than 90% of gamers will be finished as a result. , ultimately a devastating blow to the gaming industry.
"If the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the people are upright, there will be no disciples. The same goes for playing games. Proper bubbles are healthy, do you understand?" "I understand
." Fang Cheng was convinced.
If we don’t say that the older generation of gamers are great, they understand the principles of economics clearly.
Teacher Shen acted vigorously and resolutely. Not long after, he was asked to go to the bank, and half an hour later, an interest-free loan of 500,000 yuan was credited to his account.
In order not to put too much pressure on Fang Cheng, Teacher Shen did not pay directly, but applied for a loan.
This is not only a mentoring relationship, but also the expectations of the older generation of gamers for the new generation.
In addition, Teacher Shen also helped Fang Cheng apply for a two-year rent-free office building. The location of the floor is a bit coincidental. It happens to be opposite Tianyi's empty studio, so you can see each other when you look up.
After knowing this, Teacher Shen was still a little embarrassed. After calling Fang Cheng, he said that if he didn't like it, he could change it. You were welcome.
But Fang Cheng didn't care and declined.
The office building is ready-made. Although Fang Cheng said it would not be as big as a whole floor, Teacher Shen said it would be free and he would use it first.
The computers were also from Teacher Shen’s previous studio. These computers were 80% new. They were said to be borrowed, but in fact they were given. They even sent a batch of computer desks and gaming chairs, which was equivalent to Fang Cheng getting a free whore without spending a penny. A studio comes out.
Although he is an immortal, Fang Cheng still feels that the gift given by Teacher Shen is too heavy.
For the time being, he couldn't think of a way to repay him, so Fang Cheng simply planted a batch of spiritual grass, bottled it into tea and sent it to Teacher Shen, and then asked sincerely: "Teacher Shen, who do you think you don't like and want to give him retribution?" What? If the other party is extremely guilty, I can't kill him, and I can guarantee that no one will notice."
Teacher Shen burst into laughter, patted Fang Cheng on the shoulder and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite humorous, Xiao Fang. Don't think about it. There are too many, and I have selfish motives."
"Then two?"
"Okay, don't be ridiculous. Domestic games are declining. Many games can only be used to enclose their own territory, or they are just selling feelings. It hurts to watch. We Although you are only in your forties, your thinking has solidified, and you cherish your feathers so much that you don’t want to move. Now that I see you are such a good young talent, it’s time to cultivate you.”
“Teacher Shen, I really haven’t understood why games are played yet. It's fun."
"I don't understand either. Who can say that they have completely understood the game? Games are really art. You have no idea when or how your game will touch others and make them feel interesting. Thoughts. In short, don't put too much pressure, try to go your own way and find your own way."
"...Thank you."
After sincerely thanking him, Fang Cheng took out his tea leaves and said to Teacher Shen: "I don't have any other gifts for this visit. I grew these tea leaves myself, and I asked the teacher to accept them. Drinking a little every day can strengthen your body and help with hair loss." "I
grew them myself... Then I won't You're welcome, it has nothing to do with hair loss or anything."
After sending Fang Cheng out, Teacher Shen took out the tea leaves in the jar, put it under his nose and smelled it, and immediately felt the fragrance.
Take a little and brew it with boiling water, and you will see a full cup of green tea, as if the whole spring is contained in it.
After taking a sip, the fragrance left on the lips and teeth immediately, and Teacher Shen couldn't help but sigh: "What a good thing."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but after drinking a cup of tea, Teacher Shen felt refreshed, and his remaining hair was shiny. A lot.
