Chapter 395: Xie Heng's "Child"
When the two finally talked about the theme of game development, Xie Heng looked at Chu Zixian and asked him: "We have discussed this topic before, and now we are about to start development and production, have you set a direction?" ”
Speaking of business, Chu Zixian sorted out the thoughts in his mind, looked at Xie Heng and said: "The team has a project fund of one million, I have investigated that this money is more than enough for the development of an ordinary game, the positioning of our game should be in line with the specifications and quality of the mainstream game market, game development is your overall responsibility, and your strength lies in numerical planning, so I think it is best to develop strategy card games, and card and strategy games do not have such high requirements for art and network refresh rate, what do you think?" ”
Although Chu Zixian is a layman, this does not mean that his logical ability is weak.
"Smack." Xie Heng snapped his fingers, smiled at Chu Zixian and said, "We can really talk, it's exactly the same as my thoughts, come!" I'll show you something. ”
Xie Heng said and opened the notebook he was carrying, then clicked on a software on the desktop and said to Chu Zixian: "Let's take a look, the game I have been developing all these years." ”
Saying that Xie Heng started to run the game content, it can be seen that there is a card game at this time, but because there is no good art, Xie Heng uses the network map to substitute it, and there is no game background or anything, just a boring battle mode.
Chu Zixian looked at him for a while and asked him boringly: "I can't appreciate it at all, this is a semi-finished product?" ”
"It's really a cow playing the piano, this is my hard work for so many years." Xie Heng rolled his eyes at Chu Zixian, but he didn't look down on Chu Zixian, after all, he was not a game developer, and it was really bad to just look at this picture and make up a game with no text and no plot.
"Uh......" Chu Zixian scratched his head in embarrassment, he really couldn't understand it.
"Basically, I have established the main database of this mobile game, the gameplay mode has been determined, and the rest is the post-improvement work." Xie Heng said confidently that this mobile game is the hard work that he has accumulated bit by bit in his spare time over the years.
Generally, the development of mobile games requires a front-end engineer, a back-end engineer, and an artist.
And Xie Heng's position as a front-end and back-end engineer is all-round, especially in the game value, he can be the planning position, and he is not only proficient in the numerical data of the game, but also has reached the point of perfection through user feedback and follow-up game updates of several games.
Although Xie Heng can't see any edge in his work, he also has a dream in his heart, he also wants to make a game that belongs to him, a game led by him, and he has no idea about setting up a game company Xie Heng, because it is too troublesome and trivial, and what he wants to do is to develop the game with all his might.
One million is actually a lot, and the most humble game can be won for a few thousand dollars, of course, it is not comparable to the kind of large-scale games with millions of millions.
Especially in recent years, the users of mobile games have gradually surpassed the users of computer games, after all, mobile phones are convenient and convenient to carry and play, and the game consumption generated by mobile games in the past two years is a huge amount of data.
But it is also very difficult to define a good mobile game, because some games have a small investment but can cause huge revenue effects, while some games spend millions and can only be cool in the end.
"So, Lao Xie, can you save me a lot of wages?" Chu Zixian asked Xie Heng with wide eyes, although he felt that he couldn't understand the game developed by Xie Heng, he could understand that this was a game with the core content developed.
"Smack!" Xie Heng snapped his fingers again, nodded and said: "That's right, what I lack is actually only art and dubbing, of course, the text screenwriter can be outsourced if it is cheap, anyway, it is not expensive." ”
"When will it be open beta?" Chu Zixian asked Xie Heng excitedly.
"I can do it now, but I'm sure that in terms of this art technology, let alone player downloads, those game platforms will definitely not promote it." Xie Heng shrugged his shoulders and said.
These words gave Chu Zixian a reassurance, in fact, the cost of game development is mainly in time, the most money-saving employees are front-end and back-end plus art, and the monthly salary has to be 2w plus, this salary is still considered to be picked, Chu Zixian doesn't understand game development, nearly 100,000 will be gone after three or five months, after the game is developed, there are also later publicity costs, maintenance costs, etc.
"Do you find the artists yourself or outsource?" Chu Zixian asked Xie Heng decisively.
"Outsource, I want to finish the development of this game in my own name, update and maintain a one-stop service, I also have the previous channels for the artist, my salary can be reduced, but I hope you can find an artist who meets my requirements to outsource." Xie Heng said sincerely.
What did Chu Zixian see in Xie Heng's eyes? It seems to be a kind of father's eyes looking at his child?
This game is Xie Heng's painstaking development, and it is understandable to treat it as his own child, since Xie Heng is willing to go crazy with him, a layman, what can he not believe Xie Heng? In the end, even if this game is cold, the two can form a deep friendship, right?
One million for Xie Heng's friendship! No loss!
"Your salary is according to the contract, you find the art yourself, and the music or something, I am only responsible for paying for it." Chu Zixian said proudly.
"Thank you, boss!" Xie Heng said to Chu Zixian with a smile, feeling a little excited, and then changed his mouth and said: "Boss, I'll call the acquaintance who bought the computer in Shenzhen first, see how much it costs to buy the computer, and look at the computer desk tomorrow." ”
"Okay, let's do it for today, let's go." After Chu Zixian finished speaking, he was about to take Xie Heng to the hotel to open a room, but Xie Heng refused with a smile and said: "I'll live here today, it's not cold this weather, I brought a few coats and put them on the ground to sleep." ”
Xie Heng's family is poor, and he doesn't pay much attention to it, and he has slept in the train station, so he is a very hard-working person, otherwise he wouldn't have focused on game development for so many years and has never even found a girlfriend.
"No, I'm the boss, you have to listen to me today." Chu Zixian used the boss's order to ask Xie Heng, but Xie Heng had no choice but to follow Chu Zixian to a nearby hotel.
On the way, Chu Zixian had a rare chat with Xie Heng about his family and some of his past, when Xie Heng heard that Chu Zixian had such a miserable past, he actually had a similar sense of identity with Chu Zixian in his heart, after all, he could take out hundreds of thousands of millions at every turn, Xie Heng felt that Chu Zixian was a rich man.
Unexpectedly, Chu Zixian had been hungry before because he couldn't afford to eat a meal.
The two went from three views to character, to thoughts to insights, and finally to the actual family situation.
If it weren't for the fact that he was not allowed to worship the handle now, Xie Heng would have the urge to worship the handle with Chu Zixian.
