166 is on track
Around 1970, the United States * appeared UNIX system and C language. This is considered to be the www.biquge.info of the modern programming language revolution.
During the same period, the first generation of the Pangu computer system appeared in the Chinese Empire, as well as the Cangjie programming system based on Chinese language programming operations.
From that moment on, two scripts, two programming languages began to compete with computer users all over the world.
The empire had a profound influence in Asia, and now the second foreign language of almost all countries in the whole of Asia is Chinese*. And the computer systems used in these countries are all the latest Nuwa 98 systems produced by the empire.
In Asia, Chinese programming occupies 90% of the market. Europe, on the other hand, and the United States, are the paradises of English programming.
In the eyes of a programmer ape like Lao K, or in the eyes of all programmer apes in the empire, this is a war between Chinese* and English*. It was a war between hieroglyphs and alphabets.
So, they are very concerned about what kind of language they use to write their programs.
Fortunately, Shen Qiu is not an industry insider, so Lao K didn't have such a big reaction to the program he came up with written in English. If the source code of the Legend of Blood was taken out by a sword in ten years, Lao K would probably be angry on the spot.
Lao K promised three days to convert the source code of the Legend of Passion into a program for Chinese programming, Shen Qiu thought about it and felt that there was no need to be in such a hurry.
He hurriedly said: "Brother Liang, I know the level of you and your team, but there is no hurry to transform this program. Now let's talk about the treatment first? Also, can I meet a few other people on the team? ”
"One more point." Shen Qiu pointed to the empty office and said, "The company was first built, no one has no equipment, Brother Liang, in two days, will you go with Sister Liu and Li Xian to recruit people and buy some office equipment?" Especially the computer you use for programming, these are professional things, others don't know how to do it at all, you can only buy it yourself, and then find the company to report the bill. ”
Shen Qiu said a lot. Lao K laughed directly: "Boss Xiao Shen, don't you treat me as an outsider?" And that's where the work begins? ”
"Time waits for no one. I plan to launch this bloody online game by the end of August at the latest. ”
In one morning, Shen Qiu got the foundation of the game development team. Of course, it's obviously not realistic to develop a game with five people. The development team will definitely have to recruit people.
Shen Qiu also delegated power very thoroughly, the development team needed people, Lao K recruited by himself, and reported to the company's human resources department afterwards. The development team needs to buy computers and other equipment, and Lao K contacts him himself. After finishing and reporting to Liu Ruonan.
In the last time and space, although Shen Qiu had never been a boss, he deeply understood a truth, that is, 'professional things are left to professional people to do', and he only needs to master the company's finances and personnel.
In the afternoon, the other four members of the old K team met with Shen Qiu. Three men and one woman, Shen Qiu was very surprised, this was the first time he had seen a female hacker.
Lao K told Shen Qiu about his initial thoughts, and then followed Li Xian to recruit people to purchase things.
Time flies, and another week passes. Huaxia Games is finally basically on the right track. Game Development Team, Finance Department, Personnel Department, Administration and Management. The four departments are fully staffed.
After some shopping spree, the office is finally not so empty. Desks, computers, copiers, printers and other office equipment are all available, and it looks like a matter of a while.
All of these things cost the company 1 million Chinese dollars, which is mainly a series of high-configuration computers and various game development software purchased by the development team.
For this reason, Liu Ruonan, as the financial director, complained to Shen Qiu a lot. Just when the company's senior management held a meeting for the first time, Liu Ruonan also fired at the old K Liang Shuping on the spot.
She believes that the development team's expenses are too large, and if it is not profitable in the short term, it will affect the company's liquidity. You must know that the total registered capital of Huaxia Games is only 5 million Chinese yuan. After opening a company in the early stage and leasing some offices, there were only four million Chinese dollars left on the books.
And Lao K's development team used up a quarter of the company's working capital at once, and such a move would naturally cause Liu Ruonan's dissatisfaction.
Faced with Liu Ruonan's criticism. Old K's face is red, there is no way, what Sister Liu said is too ugly.
"Boss, our development team has completed the transformation of the source code of Bloody Legends, and is currently docking with the three game engines on the market. If it goes well, the main program of the bloody legend will be completed next week. ”
"Okay." Shen Qiu affirmed Lao K's work. Then he asked, "What work remains to be done after the main program is completed?" ”
"The rest are some character artists, and according to the game planning you gave us, I have outsourced this part of the work to a studio, and the other party has completed 60% of the progress so far."
Art, as well as game planning, Shen Qiu has no plans to recruit at the moment, on the one hand, to save costs, and on the other hand, because the memory in his own brain is the best game planning.
After the company got on the right track, the first project was the online game 'Bloody Legend'. Shen Qiu was a legendary veteran player in the last time and space, and he was very familiar with the setting of this game. So, when Lao K and the others converted the source code, Shen Qiu took the time to write a game plan for the bloody legend.
Old K looked at Shen Qiu, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Shen Qiu smiled and said, "Brother Liang, just say it directly, you don't like your usual style." ”
Lao K thought for a while, considered his words for a while, and then said: "Boss Xiao Shen, I read the plan you gave, are you sure that there can be a market for such a game?" It's completely a monster fight to upgrade the equipment.,It's simple and outrageous.,Such a game.,Will anyone be willing to play after it's introduced to the market? ”
After listening to Lao K's words, Shen Qiu thought about it, in the last time and space, the game Legend of Blood had indeed been criticized because of these shortcomings. However, the so-called simplicity and brutality are not the shortcomings of this game, in Shen Qiu's opinion, these are actually one of the factors of this game's success.
"Brother Liang, what elements should the game in your mind have?" Shen Qiu didn't answer Lao K's question head-on, but asked rhetorically.
Lao K thought for a while, and then gave the answer: "A huge mission system, a reasonable upgrade system, a perfect dungeon system, and an equipment system corresponding to each level. ”
"So, how much money does it take to make your dream game? How much time does it take? ”
"Ugh!" Hearing Shen Qiu's question, Lao K was stunned, he just considered the problem from the perspective of a gamer and a senior programmer, and did not take the company's cost into account.
"To make such an ideal game in your mind, how can you need hundreds of millions of dollars of capital and five or six years of time investment, right?" Shen Qiu answered the question just now for Lao K, and then he looked at Lao K and asked, "Brother Liang, do you think our company has that ability now?" ”
"It's me who thinks it's bad." Lao K sighed, there are few programmers who don't like to play games, but looking at the game planning book given by Shen Qiu, Lao K feels that the future is bleak.
"Brother Liang, although I can't guarantee you anything. However, after the release of the game Legend of Blood, there will definitely not be a situation where no one cares about it. ”
"Where does your faith come from?" Old K lifted his black-rimmed glasses and asked with a wry smile.
"Just by the words you just said, it's simple and crude! A game that can be simple and brutal is a successful game. ”
After listening to Shen Qiu's words, Lao K was thoughtful. (To be continued.) )
