Game Dynasty

Chapter 42 Cheng Jun Visits

The completion of the engine gave Liu Xiang hope. 【】This once again made Liu Xiang feel that Xi Xiaoding is indeed a talent, but then Xi Xiaoding's lion mouth made him roar again and again...

Not counting the investment in hardware, Liu Xiang's heart aches just for raising those people in the development department. Most of those bastards earn more than six figures a year!Of course, Liu Xiang will not really feel sad... As long as it is a talent, Liu Xiang's attitude is very clear, try to find it!If you are capable, I will be paid!

Under Liu Xiang's policy, Xi Xiaoding really lived up to his expectations and recruited two classmates from the United States. Otherwise, the engine would not have been completed so early.Of course, the annual salary of these two Yankees is also the highest among all.

At this point...Liu Xiang really understands why it takes tens of thousands of dollars to develop a game...

With the joy of successful engine development, You International ushered in the New Year's Day of 2002.

So far, the tourism market has begun to show a state of contention.In view of the factors of market share, several old games are still standing on the verge of faltering, while new games rely on fresh elements to try to get a share.For example, Phantom Ranger, which has now entered the public beta.

As it turns out, the cartoon version of the game has a huge following at all times.The popular public beta of Phantom Ranger made the operation department, which had been in a state of relaxation, tense up.

As a result, Fatty Zeng has become the busiest person in recent days. The online and offline activities on New Year's Day are very popular. At the same time, new servers are constantly being opened. So far, the number of online users has stabilized at around 20.The highest number of online users also exceeded 30.

Of course, Liu Xiang didn't panic because these shares must be lost.No one can force the player to make a choice.What an excellent game developer can do is to attract players with services and high-quality games.

Through the expansion of enrollment, the number of GMs has also reached an unprecedented 150 people!Even so, these 150 people can only meet the more than 60 servers that have been opened.

Looking back on the history of Legend, Liu Xiang knows that the current achievements of Legend have far exceeded the performance of the operation under Shanda.

Looking at the financial statements, Liu Xiang had a big headache.Although You have always advocated saving as the foundation, but after the money is spent in a reasonable manner, the savings in the book are no longer much.Fortunately, there is still money to pay South Korea's share.However, once the share money is transferred, the remaining money will not be enough for Liu Xiang to carry out his next activities...

According to Liu Xiang's plan, as a grand gift for employees during the Spring Festival this year, the new office building and dormitory building in the high-tech zone will break ground after the New Year.However, there are only less than two months before the new year... and the 3-engine set promised by Liu Xiang is probably ready to start at this time.

In the history of the game, the 3 engine is the most beautiful and authoritative, it is the unrel and quke series, the former has achieved countless classic r

g game, while the latter has achieved the famous quke and other No.1 shooting games.At the same time, in the game industry, the most famous means the best. This is a relatively correct theory.

However, it is not to say that other than these two engines, there are no bright spots.On the contrary, except for players who pursue the ultimate picture, as long as it is the effect rendered by the 3 engine, in the eyes of most players, especially domestic players, if the engine is not as bad as BMW and Alto, no matter what engine, Players are acceptable.What's more, Liu Xiang also knows that domestic players' pursuit of fluency is far greater than the pursuit of effect.The pursuit of beautiful characters and equipment is far greater than the pursuit of whether a grass on the side of the road is real...

Recalling the history of game development for several years, the moment Liu Xiang made up his mind to develop his own game, he set his sights on Meteor, a small working group in North America!

This small workshop-style working group with only 5 people developed a 3-engine for a year, and finally announced the disbandment of their semi-finished engine due to lack of funds, and no company was interested in acquiring it.After disbanding, two of its members joined Blizzard, and the other two joined e

The company is also the manufacturer of the famous Unrel engine... Since then, the model named Meteor has gradually been forgotten.

The capital market is always bloody and the most speculative.When Liu Xiang appears out of thin air, the meteor will become a star.

According to the schedule, at this moment, the Meteor team should be about to fall into distress and start looking for venture capitalists. Of course, this is doomed to fail.No adventurer wants to risk money on an engine with less than any promise.And Liu Xiang knew the power of this engine, after the Meteor team disbanded, they published their engine source code on the Internet and announced that it was completely shared, perfected by others, and made the game.

When Liu Xiang was worrying about funds, Cheng Jun came to bother him again.

Without any phone calls beforehand, on the first day after the National Day, Cheng Jun stepped into the gate of You International with his briefcase alone.

Seeing Liu Xiang's surprise and slight embarrassment, Cheng Jun laughed and waved his hand, "Brother, you are not welcome?"

"Welcome, welcome... of course welcome!" Liu Xiang signaled Zhang Jiajia to pour tea for Cheng Jun, then went to the reception sofa and sat down on Cheng Jun and rubbed his hands, "Why didn't Brother Cheng call in advance? Arrange it."

"Didn't you call a long time ago?" Cheng Jun smiled, "Don't talk nonsense, today the eldest brother came to beg for food from his brother."

Liu Xiang was taken aback, begging for food?Cheng Jun is never someone who begs for food.Immediately Liu Xiang smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, you are making fun of my younger brother."

"It's not a joke, it's true." After laughing, Cheng Jun took out a stack of documents from his briefcase, "Brother, this is the business situation of my brother in the past few months."

As he spoke, Cheng Jun handed the document to Liu Xiang as expected.
