Chapter 3 Faith
The top priority is to find a job first, and finding a game that can move bricks is secondary.

I found the phone number of the IEC studio on an online recruitment website. They are indeed accepting newcomers, but the monthly salary is only 4000 yuan. A company that makes games in Shanghai can only offer 4000 yuan a month. Money can only be described as shabby.

And most people would not choose to come to this studio.

The money is too little.

There are very few people in this world who are willing to pay for their dreams, but unfortunately Jiang Xun knows very well that he himself is such a person.

It doesn't matter if you earn 4000 yuan a month, the big deal is to move bricks in online games and earn a second salary. You should go crazy while you are young, although his age can't be considered that young.

Call and make an appointment for an interview.

The strange thing is that the phone didn't get through, and it has become an empty number.

"Could it have closed down? Or was it acquired?" Jiang Xun scratched his head.

At this time, Jiang Xun found that someone was looking for him on his Penguin account.

It's from the "Glorious Age" studio.

At that time, when Jiang Xun became No.1 in the online game "Glory Era", he and the official had added friends on Penguin Software, and Jiang Xun was also a person in the mixed game industry. We were able to chat, but later, as the game deteriorated year after year, the people in the "Glory Age" studio didn't know where they went, and they were often offline.

"Here?" asked the person from the "Glory" studio.

Jiang Xun typed and replied: "Yes, what's the matter?"

"Our new game "Faith" is about to launch." The person from the "Glory" studio said: "Are you interested?"

"Is it fun? Is it fair?" Jiang Xun asked first, and then asked, "What subject matter?"

"It's fun." The person from the "Glory" studio replied: "Fair, the traditional online game theme of Western Fantasy can be regarded as Dungeons and Dragons (DND). We don't need other people to recharge and it is not a buyout game. There are other ways to make money. Road."

"By the way, we are cooperating with DND to create the game. We are also with IEC Studio, CY Studio, and Dragon Age Studio." The person from "Glory" studio added, " You are a very capable player and know a lot about the game, so I hope to see you when "Faith" is released."

What the people in the "Glory" studio said aroused Jiang Xun's interest.

"So many studios?" Jiang Xun asked, "Four domestic studios, two in mainland China, one in Hong Kong, and one in Taiwan. Isn't DND spending too much money?"

"There are some others I don't know, who are also in this circle, but they are all studios in other countries. At least more than 20 studios work together." Humanity of the "Glory" studio: "Learn from people in other studios. to a lot of things.”

"Then the question is, what kind of equipment is this game on?" Jiang Xun asked: "Computer or VR virtual helmet?"

"Universal." The humanity of the "Glory" studio.

Now it is 2031, which is the era when computers are transitioning to VR virtual helmets. Most games have begun to switch from other devices to VR virtual helmet devices.

But there are still many players who are not very comfortable with the virtual helmet equipment.

Because a very important point of the virtual helmet is that it cannot be online for a long time. For three hours online, it must be forced to go offline for exercise. If you want to stay up late and play games, you must configure a nutrition cabin.

The cheapest nutrition cabin also costs 10 yuan.

The top-level nutrition cabin is even more expensive.

Jiang Xun has always made money playing games, and it is impossible for him to spend money.

"Universal? Has your technology reached this level?" Jiang Xun still admired.

"Generally speaking, since they were acquired by DND six years ago, they have been preparing for this game. Before we came, they had been working on the game for three years. Together with the efforts of more than 20 studios, ten In a few years, this game has almost been built." The humanity of the "Glory" studio said: "By the way, let me reveal an important piece of information for you, the first expansion piece, if you are interested, try to become one of the players. No.1, there will be surprises."

"You guys expect too much from me." Jiang Xun typed, "I just hoped that I would be No.1 among the players."

"No way, this time the game is open to the world, not only domestic players, but also players from other countries. You should know the influence of DND company in foreign countries. At that time, a large number of foreign players will pour in, and masters will inevitably gather. , If our country doesn’t have some powerful characters, it will be difficult to deal with it.” The person from the "Glory" studio added: "DND company has no publicity ability in our country, so when the time comes, it will be our small studios. Propaganda in the country, there is likely to be a vacuum period in the country, so we found you."

Jiang Xun said: "I'm very confident in my skills, and I'm sure I can take a place in your online games, but I have a request, I don't know if I can talk about it."

The person from the "Glory" studio asked, "What's the requirement? It's not too much."

"Can you open an official private server of "Glory Age" for me?" Jiang Xun asked along the way.

Private server, that is, a private server, Jiang Xun hopes that the "Glory" studio can get him a server that can continue to play "Glory Era". This game is of great significance to Jiang Xun.

"You can become the No. 1 ladder reputation or ordinary reputation in the expansion pack. I can make the decision for others and agree to this request." The people in the "Glory" studio were silent for a long time and finally gave an answer. To be honest, they felt very sad when the service of "Glory Era" was discontinued. For the game manufacturers who really make games with their heart, these finished products are their painstaking efforts. destroy.

"Thank you for your love for Age of Glory."

Jiang Xun saw that the other party agreed, and typed: "Then, this ladder's reputation No. 1, I will take it?"

But he sighed in his heart. Competing for the first place with players from all over the world is not easy. The other party's rhetoric is actually a polite refusal of his request. With his current situation and conditions, it is too difficult to win the first place. Take it, forget it if you can’t get it.

"We'll wait and see, I can't reveal any more, and I'm leaving." The people in the "Glory" studio left as soon as they said, and before saying goodbye, they turned into gray heads.

Jiang Xun started searching for the game "Faith" on the Internet, and soon found it on the official homepage of DND Company. The opening time is August 8, which is two days later. over again.

The picture is well made.

The gameplay has not been revealed yet.

The cooperating studio is really the Eight Immortals crossing the sea and each showing their magical powers.

There are any studios.

There are DM studios that make RPGs, that is, traditional role-playing online games, T9 studios that make MOBAs, or multiplayer online tactical arena games, and AB studios that make FPS No. 1 shooting games. , It can be said that there are almost all kinds of game-themed studios. What will be the quality of the games produced by such a hodgepodge of studios?
I haven't played it, so I really can't define it.

However, Jiang Xun's interest has indeed been aroused. Most of these cooperative studios are well-known studios, and studios known for word-of-mouth have one characteristic, that is, they cherish feathers.

Not a good enough game, he doesn't make it.

Just make that kind of quality game if you want to do it.

Of course, enough money can make them 'submit' obediently.

But with so many studios willing to cooperate in the production of games, it is too difficult to spend money on them.

"This game, if my uncle is here, I will definitely look forward to it." Jiang Xun took a deep breath, and a trace of imperceptible sadness flashed in his eyes.

He moved the cursor of the mouse to the download interface, and downloaded the game on the computer in advance. Although the server has not yet been officially launched, the game is already open for download. It has a total size of 459G, and it is estimated that it will take an hour or two to download.

The computer version is different from the virtual helmet version. The virtual helmet version is generally dozens of times the size of the computer version, or even larger.

Jiang Xun is a person who likes to make full preparations before doing anything.

Because opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

If you are not prepared enough, you will not be able to seize the opportunity when it comes.

With two days left before the server opens, Jiang Xun intends to read all the games under these cooperative studios, and conduct research on the detailed strategy of the overall gameplay and various settings. The manuscript is densely filled with some details that he thinks are important and may be used.

"Om-"

The phone is vibrating on the table, why are there so many things today?
"Excuse me, who is it?" Jiang Xun asked.

"Hello, I'm an intern game planner at Shanghai Shenhu Network Development Co., Ltd., specializing in writing game plots." A young voice came from the other end of the phone. He spoke very quickly, a little hurriedly, as if he was afraid Others would interrupt him.

Jiang Xun paid enough respect, and didn't start talking until the other party's voice fell.

"I see, what's the matter?" Jiang Xun said.

"Our company is a company with ambitions and dreams. We don't want to simply become a part of the fast food culture. We want to create games that are well-known and powerful in China. Senior Jiang Xun, you are a well-known game planner in the industry. Our company I want to invite you to join us." The young man finished what he wanted to say in one breath.

"How did you get my phone number?" Jiang Xun casually mentioned.

The young man was a little nervous and stammered: "Uh, uh. When you resigned from Lianyi Internet Company two months ago, we have been looking for you in our own way. Yesterday, I accidentally found you phone number."

"Your answer, to be honest, I'm quite dissatisfied." Jiang Xun frowned and said, "I'll give you my Penguin number, and you add my Penguin, and share your company's ideas, ideas, development prospects, and what you hope to do." Send me a word about the concept of development, and after consideration, I will make a decision to join or not.”

"By the way, when I was at Lianyi Internet Company, I signed the contract of the employee confidentiality code."

The young man said excitedly, "Wait a minute, senior, I'll just take the pen."

Jiang Xun said, "3955"

When he reported the numbers, he was very slow, one number every two seconds, and his articulation was very clear.

"Do you remember clearly?" Jiang Xun asked.

The young man immediately repeated the number again, and after confirming that it was correct, he said, "Senior, can we talk about a private topic."

Jiang Xun said: "Try to summarize, I have some things to deal with here, sorry."

"Senior, the stand-alone game you made five years ago, whether it is the plot or the setting of the plot, is of a super-class production level. I like your work very much. I want to know, do you have any consideration for the sequel of that work?" Follow-up development?" The young man asked with excitement.

Jiang Xun thought for a while and said: "At present, the development of the sequel has not been considered. Although the word of mouth is not bad, the profit is far lower than the cost. After five years of release, the production cost has just been returned. The sequel If so, I haven’t considered it yet, now I am alone, without a team to help complete the sequel, and the copyright of the sequel is not with me now, unfortunately, the project is unfinished.”

The young man was a little disappointed, "Senior, when you join our company, I still have a lot of things I want to ask you for advice. By the way, when the time comes, can you sign me up?"

"I haven't agreed to join yet," Jiang Xun said.

"I believe that you will definitely join us." The young man said confidently, "I'll hang up first, see you later."

Jiang Xun put down his phone and fixed his eyes on the computer screen again.

The penguin hanging on the computer has an extra friend request.

The young man who called him just now sent a long string of words. Jiang Xun had the urge to blacklist or block people. This guy is really good at talking. Non-stop, but blocking or blacklisting, in Jiang Xun's mind, it is really disrespectful.

"You put what you want to say and the content into Word and send it to me." Jiang Xun said tactfully.

Only then did the young man stop the series of shells like a Gatling machine gun.

When the whole desktop was quiet, Jiang Xun could finally do his own thing quietly.

"We need to study the settings of DND. Later, we will find the forum of the online game "Faith" in China." Jiang Xun made a plan for what he should do in his heart. Any game has a forum. Yes, whether you are a rookie or a master, you will make some summaries or strategies of your own in the forum.

I don't know if "Faith" has an internal test, but it is always possible to take a look at other people's opinions, maybe there is something useful.

From the current point of view of "Faith", the part that attracts Jiang Xun the most is probably the four words that never give up.
