Only after I was reborn did I realize that I had green plums.

Chapter 449 Livehouse debut
While his wives were busy chasing their careers, Mei Fang focused on the construction and expansion of Similu studio this autumn.

Since the concept of independent games was redefined and launched by Meifang, Meifang has absorbed a large number of domestic independent games into its own game layout with the help of the TABTAB program and the gamejam developer competition
This includes studios that were more famous in the previous life, but are still unknown at this time:

The Fallen Leaf Island project team is preparing to release "[-] Days of Love in the College Entrance Examination", which is the first domestic gal;
Phantom Blade Network will bring their proud meta-game concept action game "Ash" to the market for the first time;
At this time, the three small partners of Hunter Studio are recruiting the first batch of test users for their independent work "The Lost Castle";
In addition to these studios, Mei Fang also invited Heluo Studio, which is already well-known in the Chinese market. At this time, Zhulong Studio was in a lot of turmoil due to the resignation of the main creator, Mr. Mei. Fang Mei helped the company stabilize a little through financing and cooperation.

Some of these works are still in production, and some have been officially released on the domestic TABTAB platform. Because Mei Fang has the support of independent games of the level of "Journey in the Cloud", these young people with new dreams have plans for Mei Fang They all have a good impression.

The above-mentioned studios Meifang have obtained their exclusive publishing status in TABTAB through arrangements, negotiations, cooperation and angel investment. These products will continue to output works as the backbone of Meifang’s domestic independent game empire.

As for the domestically produced Three Swords, Mei Fang has taken the initiative to propose cooperation, but Daewoo and Xishanju are big groups with a strong family background. It is not easy to get the exclusive release status. Mei Fang couldn't accept it, so he gave up.

When communicating with these long-established domestic stand-alone producers, Mei Fang can feel their game design talent, but also feel the arrogance in their bones. He is very disgusted with some current game design concepts and even Sneering attitude.

There is no way to keep up with the changes of the times, or you have too much prejudice against certain changes. This is probably the key point why some domestic stand-alone games cannot keep up with the times. So far, the tide of version numbers has not even come, and some of their works have been eliminated by the market.

Ok……

So it's better to chat with young people about games!

However, Mei Fang also has the experience of later generations to achieve such inclusiveness, and he himself has no way to say that he is too good.

As for overseas, Mei Fang basically relies on his own memory to find some works for local distribution cooperation.

This includes Cherry Studios, which he has always been thinking about, which is the producer of the most famous Metroid Castlevania game "Hollow Knight" in later generations.

At this time, the studio is crowdfunding on the well-known platform Kickstarter. "Hollow Knight" also released a basic version 1.0.0, which is about to be released on Steam. Mei Fang directly took over the Chinese localization work of Steam. , and TABTAB's publishing agency.

Originally, the Cherry Group planned to raise 80 US dollars before they began to have a DLC development plan for Bumblebee. Now they have only raised 30. Two of the three developers, the main creators, Pellen and Gibson, took a plane overnight to Pengcheng to meet with Mei Fang and asked the sponsor's father, Mei Fang, what requirements he had for the future development of "Hollow Knight".

"The requirements are not very demanding... Bumblebee, you can give up the idea of ​​​​a DLC expansion piece, and just open the next generation of new works."

Mei Fang thought for a while, "But you have to complete the development of this sequel before 2020. This is a rigid requirement for you."

The two enthusiastic and cheerful Australian friends immediately applauded excitedly when they heard that Mei Fang had given four full years of development iteration time.

"It's very simple, May, my friend. It only took three years for our "Hollow Knight" to reach the current level of completion, and the new work will definitely not need three years to complete!"

"You guys are the best!"

Mei Fang's sudden annoyance made the two main creators of the Cherry Group a little confused, but this is understandable, after all, they didn't know how many years Mei Fang had waited for "Silk Pigeon" in the previous life, and even waited until Mei Fang's sudden death. See it coming.

I have to say that Kickstarter is really a good thing. Mei Fang only needs to go through the works he is familiar with according to the rankings, and he will know which works are of sufficient quality for him to sell.

"Into the Dungeon", "Transistor", "Azure", "Shovel Knight", "Into the Battle", "Slaying the Spire" and other works, as long as Mei Fang takes a fancy to the ones he has played, he will vote.

Other rich bosses buy luxury goods and luxury cars. Mei Fang is frantically looking for agents here, and basically throws them directly to the overseas marketing department after confirming the work, which makes these departments work overtime every day. The one below scolded the eighteenth generation of Mei Fang's ancestors in their hearts, which of course was something Mei Fang didn't know about.

In addition, Mei Fang is also focusing on the excavation of some domestic producers. Among them, he also paid a lot of money to recruit the famous Zen game designer Chen Xinghan who once worked for Sony. He hopes that Chen Xinghan can join his team. Help yourself to participate in the development of that 3A open world work.

Chen Xinghan's work "Journey in the Wind" is also one of the most important reference works of "Journey in the Cloud", and it is also one of the mentors who made Mei Fang pursue games as the ninth art. After some exchanges with Chen Xinghan, Mei Fang has More game experience, but also gave up the idea of ​​letting Chen Xinghan lead the development of 3A open world works.

Therefore, Mei Fang decided to build a new studio for Chen Xinghan and his team, preparing to complete the work design of "Code Name: Light Yu".

Mei Fang, who is also a game producer, has a lot of his own opinions on the work. If the producer and the boss have different ideas, it is easy to cause a lot of quarrels.

Because of suffering in his previous life, Mei Fang will not forcibly interfere with the work of the producers in his studio, but he also hopes that the works he leads will not be disturbed.

Just like the game "The Last Lily", the three parts of the script (designed by Mei Fang), art style (designed by Guo Yun), and music style (designed by Liu Xiaoyu) are all completed by Mei Fang himself. .

Mei Fang ensured that the visual expression of the atmosphere of this work is similar to the previous works, but in terms of level design, numerical control, and action design, because the company has enough manpower, Mei Fang can make a smoother experience, while the previous work is on top There are big loopholes in the three articles, and the previous bad reviews are also concentrated here.

Moreover, compared to the 15-hour skit-level plot experience in previous works, Mei Fang incorporated more world view content through level transformation, added additional hidden plots and BOSS, and made the whole story more complete and full. The 100% completion of the weekly goal can be pulled to about 40 hours.

"This will be a soul-based work that Two-dimensional users like-at least, they like to watch."

This is Mei Fang's evaluation of "The Last Lily".

"The Last Lily" will be officially released in a week, but before that, in addition to being busy with pre-release preparations, Mei Fang will also participate in a livehouse performance - but Xia Yuan/Lin Wanwan are not sure about this pleasure.

"You're so busy recently, why do you still want to see our performance... just go up and sing four or five songs and then come down, what's so interesting!"

"This is our Wanwan junior's first show, how could I, as a senior, not go to see it!"

"It's not that I don't want you to watch it... One is that you've been busy releasing games recently, and the other is that we're just testing the waters, and I'm sorry if the performance fails... I hope I can show it in front of you... in front of the seniors It has to be perfect, can't it?"

Lin Wanwan put her arms around Mei Fang's neck and kept acting coquettishly, but she kept trying to persuade Mei Fang not to watch it.

Mei Fang couldn't resist Lin Wanwan, so she could only verbally agree to let her go.

"Okay, okay... I won't go..."

"You must count your words. If I find out that you are here, I will not be with you."

As Lin Wanwan spoke, she took a sip of Mei Fang's face, then got up and licked the orange. At this moment, Lin Youxi handed Lin Wanwan's guitar to her and said, "A Fang can't go, and neither can I. Can I go?"

"Well... it's best not to come, anyway, it's... pretty embarrassing."

"I don't believe...it can be more embarrassing than someone's performance in bed?"

"Yes!"

Xia Yuan stomped on the little Jiojio with a puffy face, "I've been really busy recently... A Fang just used it to decompress. It's true that I didn't make out properly. It will be fine after a while, for sure!"

"Okay, okay... let's not talk about you."

Lin Youxi handed the guitar bag to Xia Yuan, "I've checked everything for you, and put some food in the bag. If you feel a little flustered then, just eat some bread to fill your stomach, and eat it tonight." It’s much less than usual, it seems you don’t have much appetite.”

"Woo...thank you, sister Youxi!"

As Lin Wanwan spoke, she hugged Lin Youxi and gave her a big hug.

"I've been really busy recently, and I haven't had time to meet and play with you for a long time. When I'm done rehearsing during this busy period, I will accompany you well."

"Busy, everyone is busy, after all, they are all working hard for their careers..."

Lin Youxi smiled and shook his head, "But it's okay, you should do everything you want to do while you are young, and don't regret it when you run out of time later."

"Ok, I know."

Xia Yuan nodded slightly, she understood what Lin Youxi meant.

This is also the plan for the three of them to go to college.

During this period of college, I have done all the careers I want to work hard and the dreams that have not yet been realized.

Not only Xia Yuan, but also Lin Youxi.

So is Mei Fang.

When it's time to really start a family, career can't be the first priority.

Only this time is the time when you can go all out to chase your dreams.

In the future, I can only live a happy family life with financial freedom, woo woo!
"By the way, Ah Fang, senior, senior!"

Xia Yuan didn't forget to ask Mei Fang before leaving: "I asked you to write a song for Xiao Yu before. I didn't expect to be so busy recently, but I discussed it with Xiao Yu. If you don't have time, you don't have to write it. bother you."

"This... I have written the lyrics of this song, and I am thinking about how to compose the music."

"I'll go, why do you still have time to think about this?"

"After all, my wife asked me to, how could I not think about it."

Mei Fang stuck out her tongue at Xia Yuan with a smile, Xia Yuan hugged Mei Fang happily and took another sip.

"Okay, okay...Senior, you are serious, don't force yourself. I'm going to ride there with Xiaoxue and the others!"

"Bon Voyage!"

"Walk slowly."

Mei Fang and Lin Youxi watched Xia Yuan close the door and leave the house.

"..."

"..."

Mei Fang and Lin Youxi looked at each other.

Then they burst out laughing in unison.

"Why do parents have the feeling that they can take care of themselves after watching their daughter grow up?"

Mei Fang felt aggrieved and pretended to wipe away her tears, "It's not going to happen, I don't have a daughter yet, and now Yuanyuan is going out alone, and I feel so sad."

"Just treat it as if your daughter gets married after the rehearsal in advance, and you will feel better..."

"Although I don't want to be a perverted daughter-in-law, but just thinking about that scene makes me feel uncomfortable, woohoo—"

At this time, there was a group of cats meowing at Mei Fang's feet, and Lin Youxi also came over to let Mei Fang snuggle in his arms.

"Come... don't cry, don't cry, mom hugs—"

Lin Youxi and Mei Fang were enjoying mother-child play, when suddenly the door opened with a click, and it was Xia Yuan who hurried back.

"I-I forgot to bring my wallet, where is-"

Lin Youxi comforted Mei Fang in his arms, and pointed to the back room, "Go to the bathroom in the master bedroom. You like to put things aside when you blow your hair."

"I'll look for it... and I found it!"

Xia Yuan's voice came from the back room.

Xia Yuan held Wanbian Sakura's cute wallet, ran towards the door in a hurry, saw Lin Youxi hugging Mei Fang Qingqing there, after thinking about it, she rushed over to hold Mei Fang's cheek and kissed, then hurriedly ran out.

"..."

"..."

"So...Yuanyuan, has she really grown up?"

Just as Mei Fang wiped his mouth, Lin Youxi's attack approached again at this moment. While rubbing his ears together, he also began to whisper softly to Mei Fang:

"If you're worried, you can go and have a look..."

"But she said that I won't let me go to the livehouse. If I go, she will be angry, right?"

"Don't let her see it?"

Lin Youxi said, "And I heard that some livehouses are quite unsafe. It's the first time for them to go, so they have to go and have a look, don't they?"

"So you just want to go... just now you promised her not to go!"

"It was Lin Wanwan who Lin Youxi agreed to."

Lin Youxi put on her glasses as she spoke, and nodded her lips with a shy expression, "What's none of my business Xia Zaozao?"

"Yes, that makes sense! As long as you don't get recognized as the station master and the eldest lady, you'll be fine."

Mei Fang thought for a while, "You are Xia Zaozao and she is Lin Wanwan. Am I not the whole Meizhongzhong?"

"No, it sounds awful..." Lin Youxi shook his head, "I don't like it."

"I also think... we should stop thinking of a name."

"It's not too late, think about it on the way?"

"it is good!"

So Mei Wuwu and Xia Zaozao disguised themselves and took a taxi together to the livehouse, preparing to watch Yixia's band Lin Wanwan's solo debut.
