Reboot the age of gaming

Chapter 222 Couplet (4500 monthly ticket plus update)

Half an hour later, Zhong Ming withdrew from "Yi Jian Tian Ya".

"I feel really old. I can't play this kind of game anymore."

Zhong Ming said a few words with emotion.

Of course, old refers to the psychological age, and the more you play games, the more picky your taste in games will become.

Is "The End of the Sword" fun?Intellectually speaking, it's quite fun.

After all, it has gathered a group of the best talents in the entire Lightwing Interactive Entertainment. Whether it is design, programming or art, they have done a good job, which should be regarded as top-notch at the moment.

But after playing for half an hour, Zhong Ming felt a little tired.

It's not to delete the game, nor to say that there is anything particularly dissatisfied with the game, but I just can't play it anymore.

Thinking about it carefully, all aspects of this game seem to be good, but there seems to be nothing particularly brilliant or fascinating.

From the screen, I was really surprised at the first glance. After all, it is a new game, using the best engine, and there is nothing to be picky about in various details and dynamic effects, but the screen is only exquisite, as if nothing is wrong Too much style.

The game does have an original plot, but it’s a more conventional one. It’s nothing more than fighting monsters and finding things to run errands. From a small village to a small city, you can basically guess what you will do in the next 10 levels.

And the most important point is that Zhong Ming didn't feel the high degree of freedom advertised by the game.

The slogan of "Yi Jian Tian Ya" is: "Wonderful martial arts dream", although there are indeed some martial arts stories in it, but the core gameplay is to collect tasks, get rewards, and challenge dungeons.

The slogan itself seems to have no major problems, but I always feel that something is missing.

For Zhong Ming, this game is a bit tasteless, it is a pity to eat it, but it is tasteless to discard it.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later."

Zhong Ming put the game aside for the time being, and went racing in the driving simulator. Sure enough, the stimulation of instant feedback was more exciting.

Of course, while Zhong Ming was playing, he also set a personality for the game.

The monthly turnover is estimated to be around 4000 to [-] million, which is no problem. If you want to go higher, it depends on your luck.

Although Zhong Ming can't keep playing, there are still many players with less picky tastes in the game market. As long as this kind of game has survived the first five or six hours and formed a habit, there will be no special reason after that. Pit.

Of course, as a large-scale end game, such a monthly turnover can only be regarded as barely passing. After all, the research and development funds of such a game are estimated to be tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, and the monthly net income can only earn 2000 million, it may take half a year or a year to pay back, which is really not good.

……

Finally, the last halo prop was also used up by Zhong Ming.

And the previously set position has been overfulfilled!
原本预定招聘17个岗位，最后招了21个人，多招了2个前台程序、1个功能设计师、还有1个运营人员。

The 17 positions are the basic needs, but I happened to meet a satisfactory one during the interview process, so I recruited them together.

The two front-end programs are proficient in the Ure3D engine, and some 2D engines are also available. They are recruited in advance to prepare for the development of 3D games in the future.

There is also an operator who is responsible for connecting with various game platforms, and by the way, responsible for maintaining the official Weibo of Weiguang Studio, organizing lucky draws, and regularly giving players some small peripherals such as Chanel figures.

Zhong Ming was very satisfied with this recruitment result.As a result, Weiguang Studio has 25 employees, which can be said to be a substantial expansion compared to before.

Of course, the resulting problem is that the monthly expenses have also risen sharply. The fixed expenses such as the basic salary of the personnel + rent have reached more than 30 per month.

If it is a relatively poor studio, raising more than 20 employees basically means burning more than 200 million yuan in half a year, which is too much pressure.

Of course, for Weiguang Studio, these expenses are completely acceptable, after all, the three games are still making stable profits.

Now other companies are already holding annual meetings one after another and giving out year-end bonuses. After returning from the holiday, there should be a wave of resignations.

The time Zhong Ming set for them to join the job is the 10th of the year after the year, and there are still about two weeks left.

During this time, Zhong Ming also planned to take a good rest.

Chinese people in this world also celebrate the Spring Festival.Although it is not as lively and solemn as Zhong Ming's previous life, it is still one of the most important festivals.

Moreover, the Spring Festival in this world is not only celebrated by Chinese people, but people in the entire pan-Chinese cultural circle basically celebrate it.After the war, various regions of the world continued to integrate, and Chinese people spread all over the world, so the Spring Festival naturally spread along with the Chinese people.

Large shopping malls in many cities celebrate both Christmas and Spring Festival. Different festivals have different decorations and celebration content.Even in many Western games, the Spring Festival is celebrated as one of the most important festivals.

"Everyone, hurry up and deal with the work at hand today, and we will be on vacation tomorrow, and come back next year." Zhong Ming said to the other three people.

Jiang Wanna was startled: "A two-week long vacation??"

Zhong Ming nodded: "Yes, anyway, there was no work plan before the year, everyone went back to their respective homes, so go and do what you should do."

"Tch, it's boring. I still want to continue working." Zhou Sen said arrogantly.

Zhong Mingyile: "Then you can come to work. Anyway, you can get in with your fingerprints. Remember to take pictures every day to share your overtime experience."

Zhou Sen quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, I can't violate the company's regulations. I'd better go on vacation reluctantly. Working overtime or something is not suitable for me."

"Hey, I suddenly thought of a question." Jiang Wanna said, "It's Chinese New Year, does the company have to post Spring Festival couplets?"

Brother Dahui: "It's a good idea, buy a pair?"

"Buy? What to buy? Is it reasonable to buy Spring Festival couplets when I am here?" Zhong Ming directly found the hand-painted board and pressure-sensitive pen, "After writing it out, just go to custom print it."

Zhou Sen clapped his hands and said, "That's good! Before the New Year, let's hang up the Spring Festival couplets first, with cards! But... what should we write?"

Zhong Ming thought for a while: "Shanglian, this requirement is very simple; Xialian, I don't care how to achieve it. Hengpi, it will go live tomorrow."

Zhou Sen turned black in an instant: "It's too much, it's too much! Let me tell you, if you hang up this Spring Festival couplet, our company will never have peace."

Zhong Ming thought about it again: "Then this one: Uplink, write codes with package liver diagrams, employees work overtime and be willing to be public servants for selfless dedication; Downlink, recharge krypton gold to draw boxes, players sell blood and kidneys to donate money and love is boundless; horizontal comment: I Lost again!"

"puff."

"Hahahahahaha what the hell!"

"Zhong Ming, you are going too far!"

Jiang Wanna was also very happy, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not suitable: "I feel that although it is very interesting, it does not match the style of our studio? We are a conscientious game developer, and we have never made krypton gold games."

Zhong Ming smiled: "It's okay, that's it! Although we haven't achieved it yet, this is a good wish."

Pick up the pressure-sensitive brush and write little by little, send it directly to the printing shop in the building, print it out in the way of making a poster, and then cut it out, a pair of couplets is ready.

After finishing, Zhong Ming strolled downstairs, fetched the couplet, and pasted it on the door.

Zhong Ming looked at the couplet carefully and expressed his satisfaction!
