Lin Shu nodded and said, "That's it." Mr. Du, our game is not well-known, and I don't have any budget for publicity, so no one is willing to spend money to play it at the beginning, so we have to take the lead with 'free' first. When the popularity accumulates, we will draw the transaction tax...... That's the long-term payoff. Unless someone makes a better system of its kind, we can collect money all the time. Even if someone makes a better system of its kind...... Then we will also have the capital. ”

This form of charging for stand-alone games has never been seen by Du Sitong. She is not Lin Shu, she can predict the future development, and she is a little apprehensive about this too novel plan. As a result, Lin Shu thought about it and said, "Do you know about ordinary original literary websites? ”

This Du Sitong must know.

Lin Shu said: "In fact, what we do is no different from that kind of original network, but it is like an online novel, as long as you can read and write articles, you can write, and creating a zào game requires some programming foundation." We're just using the engine as a medium to lower the threshold of the game system, so that it goes from having a threshold to a threshold, and everyone is doing it. Of course, there will be some limitations to using existing engines, but compared to most of today's open engines, this one is already a world away. It's sure to be a big hit...... What we want to do is to build the world's first original independent game publishing platform while there are no similar products. ”

Du Sitong blinked when he heard him say this, and felt that what Lin Shu said seemed to be quite the same thing.

She said, "I'm a little excited when you say that. But can it really work? The world's first original indie game publishing platform or something, sounds amazing, can the two of us do it? ”

"Well...... Lin Shu groaned for a moment and said, "Let's take it step by step." You can't become fat in one breath, so let's find a way to save the money for the server first. ”

Du Sitong asked, "How much does the server cost?" ”

Lin Shu said: "It's just a platform...... In the early stage, we don't need to be too good if there are few people, tens of thousands of yuan are enough. We can't afford it, we can still rent it. Then he put his finger to his face and thought for a while, and said, "Its practical rent may be better, so that when the traffic increases, the loss of our replacement server will be smaller." The cost of renting and maintaining such a connected site can probably be pressed to less than 3,000 yuan. ”

Du Sitong was quiet for a while, and suddenly said, "If it's less than 30,000 yuan...... I have. ”

Lin Shu looked up at her in surprise.

Du Sitong doesn't look like the kind of girl from a good family. She is a college student who is about to graduate, and she has an internship salary of two or three thousand yuan in elementary school, and she actually has a deposit of tens of thousands of yuan, which made Lin Shu a little surprised.

Du Sitong said embarrassedly: "I saved a little money when I was in college, mainly for part-time work and living expenses. I don't usually hang out with people, so I spend less than everyone else, and I save a little. ”

Lin Shu glanced at her before saying, "No." ”

Du Sitong said: "It can be regarded as my investment. ”

Lin Shu smiled and said, "30,000 yuan is your entire net worth, teacher, right?" Teacher, you are not afraid of losing all your money. ”

Du Sitong said: "I believe in Lin Shu. This game engine of yours is really good, and even if I don't know how to code, at least I have basic judgment - I think of you. ”

But Lin Shu said, "Thank you, teacher." But no, there is a practice of capital and capital, and there is no capital and there is no capital. Although I am confident, I also need reality to verify it. If our games are truly valuable, there is no need to worry about no rewards. ”

He thought for a while and said, "When you make money, the teacher will also be a white rich beauty, and let your boyfriend regret it!" ”

When Du Sitong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, his smile faded a little, and it took a while to reply, but he said with a smile: "Accept your auspicious words." ”

And so by May, the game was finally complete. Before this, Lin Shu had been doing follow-up publicity for several months, and he had opened posts on many large websites, and released a lot of screenshots and special systems of the game halfway, which successfully attracted the attention of many people.

Of course, because the game settings released by Lin Shu are too detailed and complex, and the IDs used by Lin Shu himself are new and the level is very low, it is very partly an indication that he, the "future game group", can really make a game that is consistent with the description in the introduction, or just PS a few pictures to tease everyone's doubts.

Fortunately, most people still have expectations.

And Lin Shu's game may be the game with the shortest interval between the release of the project and the release of the trial. About three months after the project was established, during the May Day holiday, Lin Shu released the first version of the trial program.

Different from the haste of the game release process and the petite nature of the general original game, the game compressed package uploaded by Lin Shu is a full half g in size, and this is just a trial package - obviously the game is not even a 3D picture.

The demo pack, which was bigger than expected, didn't stop most people from downloading and trying it out. Lin Shu's promotion time was not very long, so he was not able to accumulate enough popularity, but this also has the advantage, that is, the interest of onlookers has not been consumed by the long waiting time, so as soon as the trial game is released, the number of downloaders continues to grow.

In fact, this demo pack basically includes a complete game flow, but it lacks a horizontal expansion element - such as a wider game map, a more diverse class and career-related mini-games, and other things such as more complex management, and more story characters and strategy objects - in Lin Shu's plan, these can be loaded as a module in the later stage.

In fact, all the functional modules in the engine run independently and are freely installed and uninstalled, although Lin Shu will not show this in the short term. The meaning of free loading means that if you like a character's character and plot very much, then after completing a round of the game, you can also transfer his/her character and continue to load it into another game module. In this process, you can restart the original set plot, load a new plot, and load a new plot while retaining the original plot record.

In addition to this, maps, events, class skill trees...... It's all true.

Lin Shu pays great attention to the independence and detachability of these factors when designing the module, because this factor is also a major feature of the open engine. But although such features are reserved in the design, he does not want to expose them immediately, but intends to develop them step by step.

At the beginning of the game, all that was revealed was the basic game features and story.

Even so, it is enough to exceed most people's expectations.

During the May Day holiday, Lin Shu and Du Sitong were on vacation, but Lin Shu sneaked out early in the morning and arrived at Du Sitong's dormitory. When Lin Shu uploaded the game, Du Sitong took a deep breath, and he was extremely nervous.

She was first worried about what to do if no one downloaded the game, and when someone downloaded it, she was worried about what to do if it was not well evaluated...... made Lin Shu also tense up with the love.

In the end, Lin Shu opened his mouth and said, "Didn't we all try it before?" I think it's pretty good, what are you nervous about? ”

Du Sitong said: "But the game is made by ourselves, and the plot is also written by us together, can our feelings really be counted?" Maybe we're not doing a good job, but we just feel too good about ourselves. ”

Lin Shu glared at her helplessly: "Teacher Du, we are now in battle when the two armies are in battle, you don't want to hit our morale like this." ”

Du Sitong immediately said: "Ah, I'm sorry. Then she stood up and said, "I'll go buy some drinks and prepare lunch by the way...... What do you want to eat at noon? ”

Lin Shu didn't expect that he could still order, but he didn't say anything polite to her, and immediately said two simple dishes he liked, and Du Sitong left Lin Shu in his bedroom and went out.

By the time she was ready for lunch, the game had already been downloaded in the triple digits on several websites. A female-oriented game site should have been quite niche, but the traffic is not low, and it is estimated that there are not many games that were originally posted to this site, so there have been hundreds of downloads in less than two hours.

On the contrary, there are several large-scale game websites that are more on track, because they are diverted by various sections, and the number of downloads seems to be relatively mediocre, and they are not very outstanding.

Du Sitong also saw the current number, but he was very confused, and asked Lin Shudao: "This situation ...... Is it good or bad? ”

Lin Shu replied, "It's not very good and it's not bad. It's not now. ”

The main thing is to wait for the later evaluation and response.

Du Sitong couldn't figure out the situation, so he said, "Forget it, let's eat." By the way, did you tell your parents not to go home for lunch? ”

Lin Shu said: "I said that I might eat out at noon, don't worry." ”

Du Sitong was immediately relieved.

Then Lin Shu was surprised to find that the young female teacher actually made a good dish. Although the dishes on the table are some home-cooked dishes, the intensity is combined, the taste is delicious and refreshing, although the flavor is different from Liang Yuehua's, but it is just as delicious.

Lin Shu originally thought that Du Sitong was so young, and it was impossible for the dishes to be done very well. After all, most of them are still eating their mother's cooking.

He couldn't help but ask, "Is it true that girls are naturally better at cooking than boys?" ”

Du Sitong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "You are so beautiful!" Children, I can tell you, when you grow up, you will find that if the current boys can't cook, it is difficult to find a girlfriend. ”

Lin Shu blinked. Actually, that's not what he meant.

He just remembered that Ju Mingfeng had been tossing in the kitchen for ten years, but the dishes he made were still unsatisfactory. He doesn't worry about finding a girlfriend - whether he can cook or not, he can definitely find a girlfriend.

But...... The other person is hard to say.

Lin Shu said: "It's okay if you don't know how to cook. There will always be someone who will willingly cook for me and ...... I'll hire a chef for him. The current effort is just to be able to do this one day, isn't it? ”

Du Sitong: "......"

This kid will definitely be a love saint when he grows up! It's so wicked.
