Chapter 2 Registration of Game Copyrights
The next day, Monday, William got up in the morning to freshen up, put on his clothes and bag, picked up a sandwich and went out, he still had classes today.
He is now a sophomore in the computer science department at the University of London, and he still has to take classes, or his mother, Lena Devonhill, will slaughter him. Thinking about the memory of his mother, in order to provide for him to go to middle school and college, he had to work two jobs, and he didn't even have time to have a boyfriend.
Although William was not Lena's son in his previous life, he completely accepted all the memories and emotions of William Devon Hill in this life, and the two of them have completely merged, and his feelings for his current mother have not changed at all, but he sincerely admires and appreciates Lina in his heart.
He was William Devonhill now, and he didn't want to see Lena sad. Besides, he can only stay in school to learn knowledge, there are too many technologies and technologies in his head that he can't understand, and he can still ask professors or go to the library to look up materials in school, and he hasn't figured out what to do.
It's 2000 now, even if he knew which companies and which technologies could make money in his previous life, but he had neither capital nor technology, he was still a poor dick, and suddenly came up with a super technology, and he didn't have to think about it to know that he would definitely not be able to keep it, and the capital and opponents would definitely try their best to suppress, threaten, and acquire the technology in his hands, and he didn't know if he would be arrested by the government for dismemberment.
As for magic, he doesn't dare to use it in front of people now, his current strength really can't protect himself, the power of firearms is still very great, and if he still wants to be a rich man above board, it is impossible to be an enemy of the government and society if he enjoys life, so it's better to be low-key and develop obscenely.
He can't rule the world without learning magic, so he still thinks about how to improve his life and that of his mother Lena.
January was the second semester of the year at the University of London, and William rushed to the comprehensive classroom of the computer department with a shoulder bag, and soon after entering, Professor Roy Stephen walked in with a cup of coffee in his hand and a few books in his arm.
In 2000, there was no cloud computing in computer science, there was no big data, and artificial intelligence was only in its infancy, and Professor Roy Stephen talked about William, who was reborn in 2019, was still basic, and William is now only a sophomore and has fully accepted the memory of his predecessor, and his brain is smarter than before.
After a whole class, William didn't have a hard time listening to the knowledge in the Marvel Universe system, and when the professor finished speaking, William still felt a little unfinished.
William hasn't figured out how to change his life status yet, it's not too difficult, it's not too advanced, it's better to be a game, so it doesn't have much impact on his current self, and no one will do anything to him because of a game.
After a day's lessons, in the afternoon, William sat on a bench on the edge of the grass in the school and looked at the grass in front of him in a daze, thinking about what he was going to do to make some money.
As he pondered, William heard two female voices passing by behind him.
One said that the zombie movie she watched yesterday was so scary that she was so scared that she didn't dare to sleep alone when she went back to the dormitory, and the other said that she was also so scared that she didn't sleep all night and didn't have the energy to go to class all day.
William turned his head to look at the two hot beauties, his eyes lit up, this is still January, he dares to wear a skirt, women in England are really bold and not afraid of the cold, but the figure is really good, no wonder he wants to wear a short skirt.
When the beauty was gone, William turned his head and looked at the dry grass. Suddenly something came to mind, what did I think of? Think about it again, looking at the grass in front of me, the big trees in the distance, and the zombie movie I just heard in my ears.
William suddenly had a flash of inspiration and slapped his head, yes, Plants vs. Zombies, I can do this.
Plants vs. Zombies game has long appeared on PC.,And it's selling well.,Wait until 08 years after the smartphone this game is really popular all over the world.,00 years to make a game should be no problem at all.,At most, make the pixels or something low.,CS Counter-Strike can fight against each other on a local area network.,It's definitely no problem to run a small game.。
The end of the 90s was the most popular time for single-player games, and Europeans and Americans preferred single-player games, unlike the Internet-based games that the Greater Chinese loved the most.
Stand-alone games have a very large market in Europe and the United States, and 8 years later, Plants vs. Zombies has proven the popularity of this game.
William can develop a stand-alone version of Plants vs. Zombies by himself, although it is a bit difficult to develop this game with William's current technical level, but who is he, he is a systematic person, what problems are there to learn directly in the system, and you can also ask the professor and go to the library to check the information.
William shouted happily, and the people around him hurriedly avoided William from a distance like a madman.
William didn't care at all, grabbed the bag on the chair and ran to his dormitory.
After entering the dormitory, William turned on the computer and crackled on the computer to write a plan. William checked that he had just finished writing the proposal, and after there were no mistakes or omissions, he began to program, stopping from time to time to learn the knowledge in the system in his head.
After more than ten days, William kept going back and forth in the library, classrooms, and dormitories, going to the professor more times than in his freshman year, and his knowledge was getting bigger and bigger these days, and he completed a game alone, and William understood this knowledge more and more.
Finally, the game slowly took shape in William's hands.
William looked proudly at the files on the computer, very happy, but now William's conundrum was how to promote Plants vs. Zombies. He had no money, no channels, and after thinking about it for a long time, William felt that the most important thing for him now was to register the copyright first.
First go to the copyright to register the story of Plants vs. Zombies and the game copyright, and then you can feel at ease when you promote, and you are not afraid of being hacked when you promote, don't think too well about capital, capitalists will not reason with you.
William found a phone booth with a yellow pages number at the school and called the copyright owner.
"Hey, hello, is it copyrighted?" asked William after the phone was connected
"Yes, sir, this is the copyright here, what do you call it, what can I do for you" A female voice came from the phone.
"My name is William Devonhill, and I have a game that I want to register the rights to, can you register the rights to the game and the rights to the story?" said William
"Yes sir, you can call me Katie, may I ask if your game was made by you, an original, or an adaptation," Katie said
"I made it original," William replied
"If it's your original, it's no problem, you can register the copyright of the story with us first, and then register the game copyright, it's best to organize the original manuscript of your story and the design draft of the game, which will help you review the copyright."
"Thanks, I see, Ms. Katie, what is the address of the copyright?"
"London, 11 Kevlin Street, is open from Monday to Friday, you can find out what you need to pay attention to on our official website, and you can make an appointment by phone now, and you can make an appointment as early as the day after tomorrow," Katie reminds
"Okay, thank you, Ms. Katie, then I'll make an appointment now," Katie said happily to hear William make an appointment
"Yes, sir, may I ask what your full name is," Katie continued.
"My full name is William Devonhill"
"Okay sir, I've made a note, you can copyright it after 8 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, and we will have someone to receive you after you put your name on it"
"Thank you, Ms. Katie, and have a nice afternoon"
"Thank you and have a nice afternoon, sir, goodbye"
"Goodbye" William hung up the phone, returned to the dormitory, William turned on the computer, and looked online at the submission procedures and precautions indicated on the official website of copyright ownership.
On the third day, William sorted out all the documents according to the registration requirements he had copied on the Internet yesterday, and took the bus to 11 Kevlin Street without classes this afternoon.
