Reboot 2003

Chapter 313 093: Two Agreements (Three in One)

Bing Frog was not happy when he heard this. He talked endlessly to A Yue about his design ideas for these things. He first talked about the original settings of his Dota, and then talked about the overall art style. If A Yue couldn't recognize it after typing, he would go on his own. Recently, Google’s newly released translator has machine translation, and things like Nordic legends and steampunk are popping up in a mess...

After listening to it for a while, Ah Yue felt that this really made sense.

"Chen Qin, why do you think this is not good?" she said, "I know what you just said is right, but since it is an e-sports game, there should be some other requirements, right?"

But Chen Qin said: "That can't be done like this." Chen Qin pointed to the abstract dark sage on the screen, "No matter what, everyone won't like this kind of pitch black thing. Generally speaking, games are made to be dark. It’s to reduce the exposure of the details of the scene. He doesn’t lack funds at all now, so he just makes such a big small map. What’s the point of doing this?”

A Yue asked back: "Then what kind of character do you think is better here?"

"Of course she is a beautiful beauty." Chen Qin gestured to her with his hands seriously, "She has big breasts."

Ah Yue was stunned and subconsciously wanted to retort: ​​"But a game can't only be like this."

Then he found a reason: "For example, in the transplanted version you made, in fact, only the Persian dancer is very beautiful. The others are the old king, the warriors wearing helmets, and the Jiedushi of the Tang Dynasty. Even if they are taller They are not very good-looking, but some look majestic, some look very wise, and even the clown’s expression is vivid. I think this will make the game look better and not overwhelm the protagonist.”

Chen Qinyi said righteously: "You are right, but there can be only a few female characters, but there cannot be no female characters; even the original version has ice girls and fire girls. Look at what he is doing now..."

Ah Yue was still unconvinced: "But it is available now."

Chen Qin simply called to others:
  "Everyone, come here!"

After shouting, Guo Yang and a few brothers who were sitting over there and messing with the computer came over: "What's the matter?"

"Do a little research." Chen Qin asked, "Do you think it's better for girls in the game to have big breasts or small breasts?"

Everyone laughed, and Ah Yue protested: "How could you ask that!"

Chen Qin asked: "Okay then, do you think it's better for girls in the game to have big breasts, small breasts, not so beautiful, or not having them?"

Two options were added, but the brothers could no longer hear anything else. Since Chen Qin asked so seriously, a brother immediately answered straightforwardly: "The big one is good."

Xiao Gao has recently prepared to start a family, and his emotional intelligence is a little higher than everyone else: "The younger one is also very good."

Someone asked Guo Yang: "Where are you, Xiao Guo?"

Guo Yang was still a little embarrassed: "I think it's okay."

The brother agreed: "Yes, I think it doesn't matter. I pay more attention to the legs."

Another brother finally thought of business: "But it must not be without it."

"Correct."

Chen Qin asked again: "There are so many characters in our transplanted version, which one do you like best?"

This time everyone said in unison: "Emerald!" This was the name of the Persian dancer.

Finally, Chen Qin turned the screen over and opened the Dota 2 avatar of the fire girl with her hair on fire, while also bringing up the original high elf avatar: "Which one do you think is better looking among the two?"

Everyone said together: "This is from Warcraft!"

The conclusion is obvious, but Ah Yue still has an opinion, saying that since you mentioned she is a beauty, no one will think about looking like a beauty without it... But that's it for now, he also knows what Chen Qin means by that. Got it.

She finally began to seriously persuade Bingwa to add a big-breasted beauty to his game... Oh no, in short, he wanted to make the art more palatable. Bingwa was quite insistent at first, but A Yue was in the same situation as him and could be considered a potential partner. , I can’t say that the level of both sides is almost the same, but they probably do have something of their own. Since they both want to set up a separate company, he will still listen to A Yue’s opinions to some extent.

Of course, now that the problem has been discovered, Chen Qin will definitely have a good chat with Moyou.com later.

Now he remembered that the art of Dota 2 was quite poor before. He originally thought it was V Club's fault, but now it seems that it is entirely Ice Frog's fault.

Considering that Dota 2 later added treasures, it did look much better, and the map art was adjusted several times later. Even if you say "this is the aesthetic of ghosts", LOL has not been unpopular in North America because of the wrong cartoon style, so now Just do it in one step, especially big-breasted beauties, you must have more...

Anyway, that was settled. After saying that, Chen Qin sat back on his computer to read the news.

However, after Ah Yue agreed, she still seemed to have some doubts: "Chen Qin, you are saying that beauty is more important now, does that mean that no matter how you restore it, some players will not be able to accept it, so why not make it look better?"

"Yes, that's the reason."

But A Yue actually asked another question: "Then do you think I should agree to them..."

"Ah?" Chen Qin was confused, "What did you promise?"

A Yue held her chin with her hand and said seriously: "It's Fota. Of course I won't go there myself, but they want my map to be moved there. I think this may be difficult, but it is still a way. "

Chen Qin reminded her: "But changing the platform of your game will definitely be much more troublesome than their Dota. If those problems can be solved, then it will make no difference if you go to your Uncle Li and make another game, but now it's just those copyrights Can’t the problem be solved?”

A Yue said: "But now Dota wants to be independent even though it knows that it will lose the vitality of the community. I think they are also considering the future. After all, Warcraft 3 was a game many years ago. In another two years, the graphics may not be the same. Not on."

He added: "Besides, there seems to be a plug-in that can modify our gold coins recently. Even if the community doesn't trust commercialization, it shouldn't be impossible to follow Dota now."

Chen Qin understood what she meant.

His answer is, of course, just do it and be happy. Chen Qin said the same thing yesterday.

But now that Ayue thinks so...she has her reasons.

When it comes to commercialization, for a third-party game, most situations are a good thing.

When it comes to creative resources, commercialization is of course not just about collecting money or advertising. Generally speaking, the quality should be improved. Ayue has made commercial games before, so of course she knows the benefits.

So today when I saw a series of trade-offs made by Dota and others in changing platforms, I naturally thought of my own Fota.

Thinking of this, Chen Qin said: "It makes sense, but what I mean is that this is not a problem you should consider; as for what to do if the platform falls behind, this is the platform's problem, not your problem."

A Yue didn't understand what he meant, but she was still a little depressed: "Okay, anyway, I just thought about it. There is nothing I can do if Blizzard doesn't pay attention to third-party maps now..."

"What I mean is that you can just leave this matter to me." Chen Qin said in an all-round way, "Logically speaking, in our relationship, it is my responsibility to provide the infrastructure for your game. Now Fota is ours. We did this together, you want to relocate the platform for the sake of the players, it’s my job to help you find a way to do this.”

A Yue was talking seriously about the problem when Chen Qin suddenly said this. She looked up in surprise——

"Then what are you going to do? Your mobile phone system can't be accessed anyway," A Yue asked. "Otherwise...we would have moved it to your mobile phone a long time ago."

She lowered her voice for some reason and hesitated for a while when she said the word 'we'.

Chen Qin said: "There is nothing we can do now, but we can think about it slowly."

"All right……"

Ah Yue seemed a little disappointed. Chen Qin scratched his head, but did not tell her the solution. It is not difficult to think that although Warcraft 3 will be outdated, it will take at least three or four years to officially go downhill. Not to mention that there will be arcades in the future. When Dota 2 comes out early, Blizzard will also start to pay attention to these third-party maps, so Ayue's problem is not a problem at all. As long as there are many people playing it, Blizzard can just ask Blizzard to incorporate it when the time comes.

Just thinking about this, Chen Qin can't help but think about the development of the Chinese e-sports circle in the next four years - Dota2 attaches great importance to Chinese players, and LOL is made by Penguin. The development of world e-sports in the next 10 years is inseparable from the Chinese gaming industry.

To say it's good...of course it's good, but it's definitely not perfect.

Commercialization has gone too far, and by then there will be few people who play games seriously. Events are becoming more and more popular, but players are not as good as each generation.

Of course, this is nothing to complain about. If the e-sports circle becomes what it is in the future, we can’t blame the players for making too much money. Valve doesn’t advocate the professionalization of e-sports. Doesn’t it sound like a community? In fact, I just want to treat people as hard workers without taking responsibility. In the end, I don't see any better than fists.

But what if we really want to take a path that is completely non-commercial, or is opposed to commercialization to a certain extent?
  Chen Qin couldn't imagine it. He could only copy homework, but he couldn't understand without homework.

But now that A Yue has this game... there is really no need to rush to commercialize it.

In short, we can take a look first before talking, Chen Qin thought, but Ah Yue added: "But that's right, anyway, we can think of ways slowly. We don't have enough experience now, maybe there will be opportunities to rely on you in the future Galaxy software is changing platforms."

Chen Qin said: "Well, it's not limited to the company's methods. We ourselves will also grow. I guess there will be other methods by then."

Of course he had his own meaning. For some reason, Ah Yue was very happy after hearing this: "Then I'll work hard too. By the way, I've been playing your transplanted version recently."

Chen Qin nodded. She had put forward a lot of opinions just now.

Ah Yue said: "I saw the production list said 'Special thanks to Xiaoyue'..."

"You are the original author. Who can you thank if you don't want to thank me?" Chen Qin laughed. "You are also a minor celebrity now. It is unreasonable to hang you here. What's more, you already have a 'Special Thanks to Xiao Chen' on your own map. 'Well."

"I thought you didn't see it." Ah Yue's little face was flushed. I don't know how excited she was about such a thing. "I always feel that I am still far behind you. Although you still need me now, but……"

At this point, she seemed to want to say something belittling, but she changed her words and said: "But I will continue to work hard. You are thinking of ways to build my platform, and I will work hard. If there is an opportunity in the future, You must have more places to hang my name.”

Chen Qin laughed: "Well, since you said that, I will give you more homework in the future. Don't be tired by then."

"it is good!"

A-Yue nodded vigorously, and then started to update her map with great motivation. Chen Qin pulled her by the back of the neck to stop her from getting so close. Thinking of impulsively taking on a task for herself, it seemed a bit unnecessary, but Since he has made it now, it is probably time to review today's technical tools; since it is a relationship between ecology and platform, it is also a relationship of mutual supervision and growth together, so it is no problem if you think about it.

An aunt happened to come to deliver food, but it seemed to be a relative of A Yue's family who lived nearby - A Yue rented a house nearby. It is said that the Gu family helped look after the house, but her mother hired a family member to take care of A Yue. Yue, Auntie discovered that the food she brought was missing when she arrived.

But Chen Qin said: "It's time for me to leave. You can eat."

I want to give A Yue more homework, but let’s talk about it tomorrow anyway. The aunt stayed here, and A Yue didn't mention going home. She still had a lot of work to do tonight, so Chen Qin went home alone.

After going out, Chen Qin breathed a sigh of relief. What did he come for today? As a result, she ended up chatting with Ayue about her games. Of course, I thought of the last conversation just now, and at this moment, a special memory from the past two years appeared inexplicably. It was probably two or three years ago. I seemed to be watching a movie at that time...

"Hey!"

Someone suddenly patted him from behind. Chen Qin looked back and screamed: "Wow!"

This time I was really shocked. I turned around and saw Xu Lingling wearing her baseball cap and T-shirt from the summer vacation. They looked exactly the same.

Chen Qin felt a little guilty: "Didn't you say you don't need to bring food? I'll be back soon..."

"I know." Xu Lingling said casually, looking around, "That's why I came without food. Are you hungry?"

Chen Qin swallowed, thinking that what was supposed to come would eventually come, and tentatively said: "Not yet, I also have something to do temporarily, and I have finished it now."

Then he asked: "Want to go up and take a look?"

Xu Lingling said: "No, we haven't eaten yet. You said you would be back soon, so grandma has prepared a meal and is waiting for you."

Chen Qin didn't turn around for a while: "Then you can just eat first. You don't have to wait for me."

"Because I'm leaving tomorrow." Xu Lingling said, "So I want to go for a walk with you, can't I?"

Under the dim light, the girl seemed to be smiling at him in the night. Chen Qin quickly said yes, and then the two of them went home normally.

It was only on the way home that Chen Qin came to his senses and vaguely noticed something...

After all, the last time Xu Lingling came here, she rushed in to look for someone without saying a word. Today, she waited outside for who knows how long, and then she didn't even think about going in to look for someone, saying she just wanted to go for a walk with him.

Why don't you want to go again? Don’t you know? I always feel like this is some kind of relatively new routine or something.

But she is indeed leaving tomorrow, but she just wants to accompany him for a longer walk...

Even the routine was a bit touching. Thinking of this, Chen Qin even felt a little ashamed. It was nothing, but just now he was reflexively worried about how to explain that she went upstairs. Thinking like this, he felt that his mood became a little bit... Inexplicably excited.

So when passing by an alley, Chen Qin felt that his brain was a little unclear, so he pulled her in and took a detour. In the dark alley, he put his arms around her waist, and then held her in his arms. inside.

Xu Lingling seemed to hum slightly, and hugged him naturally. Her little head rubbed comfortably against Chen Qin's neck, and her voice sounded very happy.

"What time will the bus arrive tomorrow?" Chen Qin asked her in a low voice.

"I'll leave in the morning. My uncle will pick me up after you go to school."

"Since you don't want to leave, then you can stay here for a few more days during the summer vacation." Chen Qin said, "But it's okay. If we come back during the National Day, we will always have time to play together."

As they said this, their hands hugged each other, their beating chests pressed together, but they seemed to feel a similar feeling of farewell.

Xu Lingling suddenly said: "What you said during the day mean that there will be a lot of money and investment coming in in the next two years, right?"

"Ah."

"Today my father told me that there is a friend of his in Lin'an who wants to film. He also said that the director and investors have been contacted. If I want, he can play a female role for me." She said, "This way I don't have to go back. Hong Kong."

"Filming?"

"Yes, I will play a youth school drama," Xu Lingling said, "but it will be a love story. They also said that I have good looks, so you can try playing the heroine for me. Do you think I am suitable?"

Chen Qin thought for a while: "It's suitable, but you said youth campus drama..."

"Well, he's the kind of person who falls in love with others. He seems to be able to do the kind of things we are doing now, and he might do it again."

Chen Qin felt something soft touch his face. The little girl was thin-skinned, so she only kissed his side cheek this time.

"That's all? Is there anything else?"

"What else do you want?"

Chen Qin in turn kissed her hard on the face. It was dark and he didn't know where the kiss was, but the smell was fragrant.

Xu Lingling chuckled and whispered: "Who knows, it's probably like this... But I don't want to act with others, so I just said I don't want to go, so I still have to go back to Xiangjiang tomorrow."

Chen Qin felt that his mind was getting more and more unclear, and he said at that time: "Why refuse? Maybe I will be the leading actor."

With that said, he really started to plan this way, but Xu Lingling asked: "Then do you dare to do this in front of your dad? If it is on TV, more people will watch it. That would be so embarrassing."

Lao Chen is still quite feudal, and he might get beaten if he goes too far. Chen Qin woke up a little, and then the two hugged each other secretly, and came out of the alley a few minutes later.

However, the previous topic was not over yet. The two of them kept their distance and pretended that nothing happened. On the last stretch of the way home, Xu Lingling asked: "Since this doesn't work, how about we sing another song."

"How to sing?"

"My dad said the same thing. If I want to have a career, I just need to sing my songs. I can also bring you along." Xu Lingling clasped her fingers in front of her, looked at Chen Qin and asked, "How about I write a song?" You write the lyrics, of course my writing is not very good. If possible, just like before, you write the songs and I sing them, how about this?"

"it is good!"

Chen Qin lost his mind again and agreed on the spot. Xu Lingling had to hook up with him and not regret it. If he continued forward, the gate of the printing factory compound was in front of him.

Anyway...this is how the new semester begins.

That night, the U.S. stock market plummeted. The bankruptcy of Goldman Sachs affected a large number of financial institutions. Only now did the Meridian government think of continuing to take cover, but it was too late. Then the stock market plummeted, and listed companies suspended trading one after another. Wall Street is full of chicken feathers, and unemployed homeless people are everywhere.

Chen Qin looked at the familiar curves and struggled to hold his hair. He vaguely couldn't remember what my plans were during the day.

Oh yes... advertising, now we have to do advertising, and the layout and preparation are almost complete.

In fact, since this year, the advertising business has basically started. Now Galaxy Software can not only break even by selling advertisements, but also have some spare money for other things.

But because of this, there is nothing to do now - now that the window period of Internet media is gradually ending, the next step is to wait for the money to flow in.

So what to do besides that?

The first thing is to spend money, of course - advertising makes money, but he doesn't need a lot of money now. It's still an expansion period, and the money earned doesn't have to wait for dividends.

So on the one hand, we can continue to expand, and on the other hand, we can also directly spend money to buy equity. The so-called "others are afraid but I am greedy", this is probably what it means -

Of course, I have to wait until the stock market bottoms out next year before I return to stock trading, but if I want to buy something, I can probably start looking for someone now. It’s unlikely that a company like Facebook will be around in the future, but if you just leave your money, why not buy something useful? Anyway, the company’s investment department has already been established...

According to the original arrangement, this should probably be the case.

New semester, new challenges, new economic crisis...

Finally finding some ideas, Chen Qin began to think about business.

However, when he arrived at school the next day, Ayue said to him angrily: "Chen Qin, you always said that I want to learn programming. I think I will start to learn it carefully now, but there are so many programming languages, which one do you learn?" ah?"

It was Xu Lingling who sent him a message on Fetion on the train: "Chen Qin, what theme should we choose this time? Although the song last time was very good, I can't sing children's songs very well now..."

Chen Qin felt that something was wrong. At such an important time, why did it feel like he was taking on too many side tasks...

Of course, there is probably no problem now. Anyway, he was bragging to A-Yue - "I know quite a lot, but the current programming languages ​​have not yet caught up with my level."

He also said: "As a middle school student, you want to get started with programming. Why not learn some Python? This thing is less messy and is just right for middle school students to get started with."

I then wrote back to Xu Lingling: "What kind of song do you want to sing? Why don't you tell me a theme first, and I'll think about it if you have any inspiration..."

However, Xu Lingling inexplicably got into trouble again: "Actually, I already have a draft. I'll send it to you tonight to listen to. As for singing, I actually made something besides ringtones during the holiday this year. I don't mind it being troublesome. If so, I plan to try that one too..."

Chen Qin was confused: "What software?"

"You'll know then."

What kind of trouble is this? That night, Ah Yue followed Chen Qin to his house. After all, grandma was not as nosy as Chen Qin, so she went to the bedroom to watch a drama with a smile.

But then I went to the bedroom and took a look. My grandma was watching the recently popular "Breaking Bad".

Chen Qin took out a textbook from the bookcase and found a technical note from his elementary school notebook, intending to teach it to A Yue. Programmers have a habit of writing technical blogs, but he still has to go to school after all. So I could only write it on paper. I almost learned it from scratch, but it was just right for A Yue to use.

When I went out, I saw two volumes of posters on the desk, which Xu Lingling had brought before.

One volume is "Beautiful Things", which is a promotional poster she shot with Yao Nabei. The lead singer is Yao Nabei, and Xu Lingling is the foil, which accounts for a small proportion of the poster.

One volume is a two-dimensional anime character... Speaking of which, Xu Lingling's avatar was recently changed to an anime girl's avatar from somewhere. Chen Qin didn't care. After all, one of the stereotypes of Chinese programmers on Github in the future is two-dimensional. He had no problem with Xu Lingling liking the anime girl avatar. He also remembered that Xu Lingling mentioned watching late-night animation to him last year, but Chen Qin was busy with something and didn't care.

But when you unfold this poster, it looks like a girl wearing a Hanfu coat, holding a small fan, and her skirt is fluttering.

I hadn't looked carefully before, but the patterns and hairpins on this little girl's clothes all have elements of music notes, and there's also the artist's signature in the lower left corner. It seems like she's not a character from a new anime on the market, but an original character. Concept poster.

There was also the character's name next to the artist's name. Chen Qin looked at it carefully and muttered: "Yayin Gongyu? What the hell is this?"

　Since it’s hard to break the chapter, it’s even better if I add tonight’s supplement (
