Game Development: Start by Driving Crazy Players

　　"Being content with the status quo and refusing to move forward is equivalent to slow death for a game company!"

　　As the deputy general manager of Jiaying Game Company, Han Shiyu naturally knows a lot about the game industry.

　　The game industry relies on a large base of players, and players' interest in a game is time-limited.

　　If a game company doesn’t think about how to develop new games and continue to attract players, it will be forgotten by players sooner or later and eliminated by the market.

　　After all, the game industry is changing with each passing day, so many new works are born every day, others are making progress, but you are standing still. Han Shiyu can't see any hope for such a company.

　　Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

　　After listening to Han Shiyu's words, Fang Zheng applauded sincerely.

　　The game industry is different from other industries. It changes quickly. Once a game company can't come up with any popular works, it will soon be forgotten by the player group.

　　Therefore, if a game company wants to remain competitive enough, work that can stand up is essential.

　　Just like Blizzard's "Diablo", "StarCraft", EA's "Battlefield", "The Sims", etc., if you want to be famous, then phenomenal works are essential.

　　And there must be enough stamina. As Han Shiyu said, you can't stop because of the popularity of the game. You must always develop new works and maintain vitality.

　　Fang Zheng agrees with Han Shiyu's point of view.

　　To be honest, Fang Zheng already had an idea in mind after hearing Han Shiyu's answer.

　　"Miss Han, today is an interview, so I won't talk much. I have read all your information, so I don't need to introduce myself. I have a question. If you answer to my satisfaction, then Congrats, if it doesn't satisfy me, I can only say sorry."

　　Fangzheng's words were straightforward, without any sloppiness or politeness, and went straight to the topic.

　　Han Shiyu nodded when she heard Fang Zheng's words.

　　Since she left Jiaying Games, she has also interviewed many companies, big and small.

　　First of all, she wouldn't consider a company with chaotic shares, and she didn't want to go to a company that was chaotic and waited to die, so after half a month, she never found a job that satisfied her.

　　Just when she was resting, "FlappyBird" caught fire.

　　And yesterday, Talent Network sent her an invitation by chance. Han Shiyu was already tired of looking for a job and planned to take a break.

　　Instinctively, she wanted to refuse the invitation, but when she saw Fang Zheng's name, she hesitated.

　　The game "FlappyBird", which she has played herself, is undeniably a quality game with novel ideas.

　　Han Shiyu was a little curious about Fangzheng, so she accepted the invitation, and that's how today's interview came about.

　　Although she had only been in contact with Fang Zheng for a few minutes, she was keenly aware that Fang Zheng was different from the managers of other game companies. This young man would never settle for the status quo!

　　Although she can't say that she knows more about Fangzheng, she has such an idea.

　　"Mr. Fang, please come up with a question!"

　　"Suppose I have two game projects, one is a small stand-alone game, and the other is a large-scale online game, which one do you think is suitable for development?"

　　Fang Zheng looked up at the clock hanging on the wall of the box, and said with a smile, "You have ten minutes to think about it."

　　Han Shiyu lowered her head, her brows were slightly wrinkled, and she didn't make any statement about Fang Zheng's words. It was obvious that she had already started to think about the answer to the question.

　　As time passed by, Han Shiyu's expression became more and more confident.

　　"I think Mr. Fang should develop a stand-alone game!"

　　"reason?"

　　"There are three reasons. First, Mr. Fang's reputation is a problem. Although Mr. Fang relied on "FlappyBird" to make a big hit, it is still difficult to support a large-scale online game with this popularity."

　　Han Shiyu looked at Fangzheng, her expression confident and indifferent, and she talked eloquently.

　　"The second is Mr. Fang's economic situation. I don't know what Mr. Fang's economic situation is, but I think it's not particularly abundant, or else I wouldn't ask this question."

　　Fang Zheng was silent, his funds are indeed not very abundant. If he has enough funds, he can directly develop online games. There is really no need to ask this question.

　　"Online game development, although with the help of editors, still requires a lot of money. The amount of money is directly related to the quality of a game. Therefore, it is better to make a small stand-alone game instead of making a budget-constrained online game."

　　"Finally, there is the issue of company strength. There is no lack of malicious competition in the game industry. Although the relevant departments have regulations to prohibit this kind of unhealthy behavior, it has been banned repeatedly. I think with Mr. Fang's current strength, I am afraid that it will be difficult to turn over under the pressure of those big companies. , so instead of doing this, it is better to make stand-alone games and temporarily avoid those companies with strong capital."

　　Han Shiyu pondered for a while, and explained all her answers and reasons.

　　Hearing Han Shiyu's answer, Fang Zheng leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes, keeping silent.

　　To be honest, Han Shiyu's words made Fang Zheng a little unwilling. The large-scale online game he was talking about was "LOL" that he had been thinking about for a long time.

　　This game is definitely a popular work, a phenomenal work, and it is definitely a tool for making money.

　　But Han Shiyu's words calmed him down.

　　The average person is innocent, but he is guilty of the guilt. As Han Shiyu said, the game is a good game, but he may not be able to withstand the pressure of capital and keep his work.

　　Call ~

　　For a long time, just when Han Shiyu thought her interview was cool, Fang Zheng opened his eyes and said with a smile.

　　"Miss Han, congratulations, if you don't dislike my studio, you are welcome to join!"

　　PS: I beg the big guys for more support, please! ! ! ! .

Chapter 29

　　When Han Shiyu heard Fang Zheng's words, her face was a little surprised.

　　He stood up, looked at Fang Zheng and said.

　　"Mr. Fang... oh no! Dong Fang, so I passed?!"

　　"Congratulations!"

　　"What position can Dong Fang offer me?"

　　Hearing this, Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment, then looked at Han Shiyu a little embarrassedly and said.

　　"General manager, the studio is currently starting up, just you and me."

　　Two people, my chairman, your general manager!

　　Emmm~ very reasonable!

　　General manager?Just two people?

　　Han Shiyu suddenly felt a thunderbolt explode in his mind.

　　She looked at Fang Zheng who was smiling in front of her, and the first thing she thought of was whether this person was making fun of herself~!

　　But when she saw the contract that Fang Zheng handed over, she was already convinced.

　　The young man in front of him, the game designer of the popular "FlappyBird", is really not kidding!

　　Han Shiyu looked at the contract in her hand, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

　　"Oh, seriously, your answer just hit me a little bit, but I'm very optimistic about you, come on!"

　　Fang Zheng changed the subject awkwardly and wanted to skip this link.

　　As for the establishment of the studio, it's not that Fang Zheng doesn't want to go through it, but that he really doesn't know what procedure to follow.

　　Although it is said to be a studio, it is actually the same as the establishment of a company.

　　It's just that the establishment of a company requires a certain amount of proof of the company's fixed assets, but obviously, he can't come up with so much money now.

　　Helpless, I can only set up a studio first and make a transition.

　　And this is also the only way for most designers. After all, not everyone can take out the funds to set up a company at once.

　　So the steps to set up a studio are very cumbersome.

　　Fangzheng was an ordinary wage earner in his previous life, how could he understand this.

　　"Fang Dong, I take the liberty to ask, what step is the studio now?"

　　"Does a registered trademark count?"

　　puff!

　　Han Shiyu was so depressed that she almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood, registered trademark?

　　Feelings, you set up a studio and just applied for a trademark registration on the Internet? !

　　This is the simplest and most basic, okay? !

　　On the pirate ship!

　　Han Shiyu looked at Fang Zheng's smiling face and shouted in her heart that she was fooled.

　　But despite this, Han Shiyu still didn't intend to give up. Now that she had made up her mind, she no longer hesitated and simply signed her name on the contract.

　　The contract is in duplicate, and she and Fangzheng each have one.

　　She likes a challenge, so starting a company from scratch can be fun.

　　Han Shiyu reached out to Fang Zheng and said.

　　"Director Fang, please advise!"

　　"I don't dare to give advice, everyone will be a family in the future."

　　Fang Zheng shook hands with each other, and then the two sat down again.

　　"Since Miss Han has joined my studio, I'll call you Shiyu, don't you mind?"

　　Han Shiyu shook her head, indicating that she didn't mind.

　　"Then Hao Shiyu, your first task is to recruit people, support the backbone of the studio, and find a suitable office location. You are more professional than me, you can do it."

　　Fang Zheng has read Han Shiyu's information, Fang Zheng's evaluation of Han Shiyu is a professional talent.

　　Of course, this practice is only relative, and it does not mean that Han Shiyu will not lead the company forward.

　　In fact, when Han Shiyu was in Jiaying Game Company before, many decisions were full of momentum, and the reason why Fangzheng called Han Shiyu a professional talent was just because the other party was not so reckless and aggressive.

　　Many of Han Shiyu's decisions will be made steadily. She will always lead the company forward, but she will not make big mistakes because she is too aggressive.

　　Maybe this kind of character can't make the company soar, but it won't push the company into the abyss.

　　Instead, move forward steadily, one step at a time.

　　This is exactly the talent that Fangzheng needs most. Fangzheng does not need Han Shiyu to worry about the company's future planning. Han Shiyu only needs to ensure the company's interests.
