Rebirth of the big era of online games

Chapter 157 The key is to have talent! (400 orders plus update)
(400 orders plus update)
Before the college entrance examination, Fang Jie operated the MUD game for a few months, and he had already focused on some future and even some current big players in the industry.

The reason why I didn't do it was mainly because I didn't have time and energy.

Another reason is that in order to officially start the core business of the game, there is a lot of preparatory work to be done in the early stage, so that in the future, the result will be half the effort and the effort will not be cramped.

Whether it is using text MUD games to make the first pot of gold, or making a lot of money in overseas stock markets, buying domain names in a large number of preemptive registrations, registering Boiling Company in Hong Kong, opening online payment, deploying Internet cafes, spending a certain price to control Tencent, and investing in 51job , or the establishment of 51wan and 51 cards... etc., etc., all of which are preparations for the core game business.

Hmm...Accidentally, he did so many things in half a year, Fang Jie also sighed a little.

In short, making games, especially PC games, needs to be bigger and stronger. It’s not like the protagonists in some online novels, just slapping their heads, relying on a little creativity, just grit their teeth, and then all kinds of YY, in the Internet. In an underdeveloped era, a large group of players suddenly flocked to the game, and in the end they became a big success, counting money until their hands cramp—that’s nonsense!
At least Fang Jie thought he had no such ability.

If you use the "five-element theory" to explain it, in terms of high-level telecommunications, you need to have a good relationship and a long-term cooperation. Otherwise, if someone farts, your game network will collapse on the spot, and the loss caused is absolutely unimaginable.

Upstream developers involve talents at the three levels of planning, technology, and art, not counting administrative personnel.

Not to mention the art talents who have not yet been filmed, nor the technical program codes, just a lot of planning copywriting, it is not something he can handle alone, even if he is a great all-rounder, all these require a lot of Talent assists.

Midstream operators are mainly involved in various operation and maintenance and server management, and he can't handle it alone.

Operation and maintenance, although there are only two words, but it is too complicated to elaborate here, just briefly list the operation and maintenance types of end games: IDC operation and maintenance, system operation and maintenance, network operation and maintenance, business operation and maintenance , on-duty operation and maintenance, development operation and maintenance, etc.

And for each of these, there must be at least one working group.

For example, on-duty operation and maintenance, fixed personnel must be arranged to watch the monitoring every hour of 24 hours, and call the relevant department at any time if there is a problem. System compatibility, ports, distribution, etc... then don't mention it.

This is just the operation and maintenance part, server management, and a lot of subdivided jobs, each of which requires relevant technical personnel.

Of course, in many cases, one person can take on multiple roles. For example, a technician can also work overtime on duty, and even help run back and forth in various computer rooms as a coolie to resist U2 servers, switches, and various accessories.

But even so, there cannot be too few people, and this kind of behavior of squeezing employees cannot last long.

Downstream distributors, although this can be entrusted to others, Fang Jie does not want to entrust this lifeline to others.

It's like making a movie. You spend a lot of money to make a movie, and the theater doesn't do anything, just because you have the land and channels, but you want to split the big ones. Who can justify this?

This is how Citigroup's "DreamWorks" fell, even though it made many classic movies.

The same is true for games. After being developed, they can operate normally, but the channel provider is not strong enough, and they still have to share most of the profits. Why?
Others don't have that ability and have to rely on others. As a reborn person, Fang Jie is of course unwilling to do so, so the channel business must be in his own hands, so that he can remain invincible.

Tencent, 51wan, and the 360 ​​navigation website that has not yet been vigorously promoted are based on this.

Grass-roots Internet cafes are a supplement to downstream channel providers. In case other channels are not strong enough except their own channels, they can adopt the tactics of encircling the city from the countryside, bypass the channel providers, and directly sink to the grass-roots Internet cafes. It is equivalent to adding a sales insurance.

Further expansion, Internet cafe management systems, diskless workstations, etc., must be developed, which will greatly help the Internet cafe chain, but this thing needs to form a team. With Fang Jie alone, it is difficult to run around the country all day long. Make a system for Internet cafes?
In addition to the "five yuan", the layout of online novels and entertainment circles is to create big IP copyrights.

A novel can be adapted into a game, and a game can also be adapted into a novel or animation film and television in turn. It is not only the source of IP for the game industry, but also the periphery of the game industry. Of course, it must be laid out.

In a word, making games is really not as simple as most people imagine.

Previously, Fang Jie was adding bricks and tiles to the MUD game with source code, and then further changed it into the "Idle" game on this basis. In fact, it is not game development in the true sense.

Including wanting to buy "Legend" directly from South Korea, and "Millennium" already in hand, it's all just opportunistic, so it seems very simple.

If you really want to make a serious end game, it is definitely not a matter of doing it once or twice.

In order to implement all strategic layouts smoothly, the key is to have talents, and a large number of talents.

Art and so on, you can put it aside for a while, wait until you go to university, and directly cultivate and dig from it. Anyway, there was a ready-made graphics end game "Millennium" before that can lay a foundation, and the problem will not be big within half a year.

For game planning and program development, it is necessary to find talents now, and it must be early, lest some of the big names he knows be poached by others, and that would be too sorry for the reborn self.

So starting from the night of Friday, August 8th, he conducted a week-long recruitment campaign in the MUD game. In addition to the public recruitment, he also contacted some game talents who he knew the details or thought had potential in private.

There is only one sentence in the job advertisement: "I have decided to set up a game company, with the goal of becoming the greatest game company in the country and even in the world. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a large number of game and related professionals. Those who are interested in this are welcome, through the game submission system, Send your resume to Ben Shen! Once hired, the treatment will be favorable!"

This recruitment message may seem simple, but its significance is historic.

As soon as the recruitment advertisement came out, there was a huge wave!

Not only in the game, but also in the entire domestic game industry. After all, at least one-third of the players in his MUD game station are people in the industry or related to the Internet, such as those big players mentioned earlier. Cattle.

Of course, the big cows in the game are not just those few.

I heard that Lord Tianshen wants to set up his own game company, not to mention these people in the game, even people outside the game industry have registered to enter the game after hearing about it, and secretly sent their resumes to Lord Tianshen behind their backs.

Maybe others don't understand the ability of Lord Tianshen, but how can they who are familiar in the industry not understand?
Lord Tianshen has invested in Tencent, 51wan, 51ka, and 51job. Many people actually know about it, right?

Even if you don't know it, just looking at the various gameplays and settings in "Wangjin MUD", the black technology that has been produced in the past few months, and the number of online players, you know that Master Tianshen is very powerful and has made a lot of money. Less money, okay?

Spending almost all day in the game, LOVE, one of the top ten stars and currently the number one player in the game, sent Fang Jie a resume immediately.

"Wei Qing, male, 22 years old, majoring in computer technology at Huaqing University, junior..."

When Fang Jie first saw this name, he was taken aback. He thought it was the CTO of Microsoft China in later generations, but he realized it should be the same name after looking at his age.

However, even if it wasn't Wei Qing from Microsoft, this guy seems to be a very awesome person...
