Game Entertainment Empire

Chapter 1: Real dream

   ‘It’s still interesting at the beginning, but the follow-up empty game content, the cookie-cutter dungeon monster, I don’t quite understand what kind of story the author wants to tell. ’

   ‘Vintage pixel style is very flattering, the first half of the game is quite fun, but the boring combat system, with the chaotic numerical design, and endless bugs, people have no patience to play. ’

   "Monster Dungeon" game star rating: 3.0

   Player reviews (41)

   ‘boring plot, boring combat design, but in this era there are people who do retro pixel style, and I don’t know what they think. ’

   ‘Pixel-style screen, it feels a bit interesting, but the game is also boring, and wasted 45 oceans. ’

   ‘I want to make a great game. ’Yang Chen, who had just entered the business, once issued such a bold adverb.

  However, when the truth is placed in front of it, it is still too cruel.

"Ugh……"

  Last night at 12 o'clock in Shanghai's rental house, Yang Chen looked at the glare on the computer screen and scored 3.0 with a red mark and gave a sigh.

   This is more than the first time he has read this review. Actually, the score of 3.0, I am afraid that there will also be credit for the company’s pre-reported public relations.

   The game priced at 45 yuan only sold less than 5,000 copies. After deducting the channel revenue and the share of subsequent player refunds, the real profit to him was only about 50,000.

   And the cost of the entire game, he invested 300,000.

   Yes, he is the creator of this game.

  Yang Chen graduated from Shanghai University of Political Science and Law. He majored in Chinese Language and Literature, a major he didn't know why he chose.

   Finally, he successfully graduated, just like most people, embarked on a path that has nothing to do with his major, a path he heartily likes.

He chose the path of game production, from the initial plot planning, to the self-study of related programs and arts, and then to leaving the business, he spent almost 3 years, not a long, but not a short time .

  Take out his savings for the past three years, recruit troops, and buy a horse. In order to save costs, there is no way to rent a business office building. Only the rough house in the community can be selected as the office location.

In the market research, in the face of various popular elements at the moment, Yang Chen chose the retro pixel style. After all, as an independent gamer, there is something that can attract people’s attention. Retro is the gimmick that Yang Chen wants to create. Too.

After confirming all his work, one year later he took an adventure pixel game "Monster Dungeon" that he developed into the market. Originally, he thought he could be as blockbuster as the novel, and then became the domestic game industry. A dark horse, and finally created a gaming entertainment empire.

   But reality gave him a mallet.

   Game development is not as easy as he thinks, the team's running in, project development, including the difficulties encountered in the development process, and the dilemma of funding.

   Even at the end of the game development, only Yang Chen was left in the whole team. The rest of the employees chose to resign because they felt that the project had no potential.

  The last month includes game optimization, bug testing and patching, all Yang Chen is responsible for.

   And now, obviously those employees who choose to resign, their choice is right, this is a failed game.

   More than a year of game development is normal for independent gamers, but under the operation of today's pipeline, the elements that were popular a year ago are no longer attractive.

   And because of personnel and funding issues, all the work will be done by himself in the later period, which leads to a lot of problems including numerical values ​​and even optimization.

   And these small problems are mixed together, it is a bad game experience for players.

   "Ah..." Closed the page, Yang Chen sighed softly.

   Just as the sigh fell, a coat draped behind him.

   "Still thinking about failure?" A playful voice rang beside his ears, with a warm face and a pretty face next to himself, Wang Yaliang embraced Yang Chen's arms with both hands.

   "Hmm... Did you wake you up?" Yang Chen froze for a moment, looking at Wang Yaliang who was next to him, and said with some apologies.

   This is his girlfriend. He is two years younger than himself. Since high school, the two of them have been together. The secretive underground love affair, usually meets the same as the previous underground party.

   At that time, he went to the third year of high school, Wang Yaliang, and then went to the first year of high school. Then, because he was a few points away from the university he wanted to take the exam, he chose to repeat it.

After that, he came to Shanghai. Only on the weekend, he had the opportunity to chat with his mobile phone, talking about the interesting things he encountered in Shanghai, and the troubles she encountered in the third year of high school, but it seemed more vulnerable. The love affair has not faded as most people think, because in the second year Wang Yaliang also came to Shanghai and came to the same school.

   "The bed is very cold, can't hold you and I can't sleep coldly." Wang Yaliang smiled and smiled at Yang Chen.

   "Yes, yes, someone last night, grabbed the quilt and almost kicked me off." Yang Chen rolled his eyes, and then reached out to hug Wang Yaliang in his arms. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

"My mother called me at night and she knew what happened to you." Putting her head in Yang Chen's arms, Wang Yaliang mimicked the tone: "My mother said: Xiaoliang, if you can't do it, don't stay here. It’s good to go back to the county. You can tell Xiao Yang that your dad is a little bit in the bureau. Let him read a book when the time comes. When he is open for recruitment next year, he will get an interview score. I will be able to make a decision, and your boss is not too small. It is 26 for the New Year."

   "My mother meant urging marriage." Wang Yaliang looked up with a smile in his eyes.

   "What do you mean?" Yang Chen hugged the man in his arms.

   "I don't care, anyway, don't even think about running in your life." Wang Yaliang said with a smile, reaching out to pinch on Yang Chen's face.

   "Of course you don't run, and finally you find a stupid girl. If you run away, do you have to hit a bachelor for a lifetime?" Yang Chen smiled and freed his right hand to hold the mouse and shut down the computer.

   "So what do you say? Or will we go home at the end of the year?" Wang Yaliang laid his head against Yang Chen's chest and said softly.

   Hearing Wang Yaliang's words, Yang Chen froze for a moment, looked at the computer next to it, and thought of his experience over the past few years.

   Perhaps, I am really not suitable for playing games.

  After two seconds, Yang Chen nodded: "Okay, let's go back at the end of the year."

   Hearing Yang Chen's words, a smile appeared on Wang Yaliang's face and raised his head to pinch Yang Yang's face.

The two made a fuss in bed for a while, then turned off the lights and covered the quilt, and laid down. Yang Chen, with her eyes closed, heard a slight snoring sound from the side, and then a few minutes, or more than ten minutes, a trace Sleepy, he slowly fell asleep.

   But the difference with the past is that this time Yang Chen had a dream, a very real dream.
