The entire 21st floor of the Entertainment Business Building, No. 140 Zhongshan Avenue West, Dihe District, Guangdong City, is still brightly lit at this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is where the office of "Walker Studio", a start-up team that has only been established for less than two years and is currently working on a mobile online game.

Jian Hao is the head of this studio, not only as a project manager, but also as a game producer, and a big housekeeper in life.

This is Jian Hao's eighth year in the game industry, and he can be called an old man in the game industry.

For the wandering people who have left their homeland, Jian Hao's current state does not know whether it is a success or a failure. has passed the year of establishment, and I have to bear a mortgage of nearly 10,000 yuan a month, and the key is that I am still alone.

In the eyes of people in his hometown, most people think that Jian Hao is successful, because he has already bought a house in a first-tier city like Guangdong, and his income has already exceeded five figures. But how many people know that a five-figure income in these places may simply be a matter of food and clothing.

In the game industry, seniority can only represent the past, and how many companies that have been brilliant have only existed in people's memories. This is also the reason why Jian Hao likes this industry more, as long as you really do a good job of the game, players will buy it. Jian Hao knew that he came from a small county town, and the only thing he could fight for might be hard work.

There are a total of 25 people in the "Walker Studio", the oldest is 35 years old, and he is an artist; The youngest had just turned 21 and was a newly recruited background programmer.

In addition, the ratio of men and women in the team is seriously imbalanced, with a ratio of 22:3, which is the result of Jian Hao's deliberate consideration of the matching of men and women when recruiting people. As the so-called male and female matching, work is not tiring, this is an eternal law.

But this is the current status quo of the entire game industry, and the three girls are still in the art department.

Most of the members of the team were Jian Hao's former comrades-in-arms, who got together for one reason or another and fought for the same goal.

Starting a business is much riskier and more tiring than working on the job, but basically every industry is that the greater the risk, the more profitable it is.

And it is precisely in these years that many miracles have been born in the game industry. There was already "Legend of Blood", which not only made Chen Tianqiao's grand achievement the hegemony of the Chinese game market, but also revitalized many Internet cafes in China at that time.

A little closer, there is Shi Yuzhu's "Journey", a masterpiece that has been advertised in China as entering the free era from the era of point cards, and has also made a lot of money, and "Journey" has also made Shi Yuzhu's company from debt-ridden to direct listing.

In addition, there are many crazy products, such as "Fantasy Journey to the West" by domestic NetEase, "Dragon Babu" by Sohu Changyou, etc. Not to mention the current giant products operated by Tencent: "Dungeons & Warriors", "CrossFire", "LOL".

If the investment in these client games is relatively large, then the small investment and big return projects such as the browser games "Proud of the World" and "Fairy Road" that have exploded from 2010 to 2011 have also deeply stimulated the risk-taking people in this industry.

With the progress of society, everyone now basically has a smartphone. Whether it's on a bus, a subway, a restaurant or a café, there are people playing with mobile phones everywhere there are people, and mobile games have exploded collectively in such an environment.

Windfall profits, typical examples of success, and media publicity, foreign funds continue to flow into the game industry. Everyone wants to get a piece of the pie, and Jian Hao seized such an opportunity to establish his own work team.

Of course, there are also a very small number of people in the team who are won by Jian Hao through personal charm, which should be won by soft grinding and hard bubbles. Among them is the chief programmer Hou Xiaoyin, an IT man who looks unaged but very smart and practical. is only 30 years old, but at first glance everyone will think that he is far beyond this age.

Hou Xiaoyin is a native of Jizhou, which meets the standard image of an IT man in everyone's impression: wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, carrying a backpack, and preferring to wear T-shirts and shirts.

"Haozi, what do you say our project will do this time, I only have one day off this week, and I stay up until two o'clock in the morning every day, and my girlfriend has a lot of opinions."

Hou Xiaoyin and Jian Hao like to stand at the staircase of the office building passage and chat, and also talk about some things on the project by the way. Their project has begun to be tested in a closed beta, and after seeing the data fed back by the operator, Hou Xiaoyin casually asked Jian Hao.

"Brother Hou, I think we have a play this time, after all, the game "Ace Dungeon" is the result of our team's hard work for nearly two years, and you have also seen the hardships in the middle, and there is no big problem in terms of quality. What's more, the data of our closed beta this time is better than that of ordinary first-line brands, and it should not be worse. ”

Jian Hao knew that the more this time came, the more confused everyone would be, and the more encouragement was needed, whether the data was good or bad. Fortunately, the closed beta data this time was unexpectedly good, which made Jian Hao himself add a few confidences.

After hearing Jian Hao's answer, Hou Xiaoyin showed a shy smile.

At this time, Xiaoyin still had a red double happiness in his mouth, which was his habit when he worked overtime and rested, even though his current salary was already several times the original.

Counting it up, Hou Xiaoyin is most of Jian Hao's master, and now Jian Hao's program skills are all trained by Hou Xiaoyin. Although Jian Hao had studied the program on his own for several years in college and had a solid foundation, it was only a theory.

Hou Xiaoyin's qualifications in the game industry are similar to Jian Hao's, and he has been working hard in the game industry.

But after all, that's just to help the company, at most a little project bonus, and now it's my own business, so I naturally care more about the development of the whole project.

The housing prices in Guangdong are very high, and a monthly salary of one or two hundred thousand yuan cannot solve any practical problems at all, if it can be successful this time, then basically everything will be solved. So even if he works overtime for a week in a row, he has no regrets, and his face full of beard and tired figure is the best witness.

Hou Xiaoyin then patted Jian Hao's shoulder and said, "The rest of my life is handed over to you, whether to buy a villa, drive a BMW, marry a wife, or rent a house and walk and be abandoned depends on you kid." ”

Jian Hao was not ambiguous, and replied: "Don't worry, this time not only will you live a happy life, Brother Hou, but also take you to a full set of RB tours to satisfy all your lifelong fantasies about RB, provided that you quickly drive out this version, there are still a lot of bugs." ”

Just when the two of them were still looking forward to a better life in the future, the system planner Xiao Zeng pushed open the door of the stairs. There must be a bug in the game that other programmers can't solve.,Come and call for Xiaoyin to save the scene.。

Jian Hao looked at the time, it was one o'clock in the morning again, looking at this posture, I didn't know how busy it would be to catch up with this version. It's still the old practice, he is responsible for calling a few buckets of buckets for the whole family to fill everyone's stomachs, fortunately in the big city at any time of the store, or I really don't know how to deal with hunger at this time.

The final version was completed relatively smoothly, and I was able to go home and rest by a quarter past two in the morning.

Taking the elevator to the downstairs of the Entertainment Business Building, Jian Hao felt that the day passed really fast.

Because of the project, Jian Hao has not commuted normally for a week, and the normal off-duty time of "Walker Studio" is 21 o'clock BJ time.

Sleeping no more than 5 hours a week in a row, and being responsible for thinking about all aspects of the project, Jian Hao was so tired that he needed to drink a bottle of Red Bull to refresh himself before driving back.

When he got home, he threw his bag directly on the table, lay down on the sofa, and fell into a deep sleep.

This night, Jian Hao dreamed that his studio project "Ace Dungeon" was successful, and the number of online users reached 30W. The whole team is celebrating wildly, celebrating the dedication of the past two years and the rebirth of the whole team.

"Cheers to the victory of the project!"

"Cheers to no more rentals!"

"Cheers to the RB full set tour that the boss said!"
