Chapter 183: New Members Join (Add 2/2 to the Memory Pile)
Two weeks later, Shimmer Studios welcomed a new member.
Brother Dahui found the studio according to the address sent to him by Zhong Ming, and took a look at the door: "Hey, your place is in good order!" ”
Zhou Sen stood up to greet him: "Hey, Brother Dahui, you arrived so soon, and I said to pick you up." I was able to find a place on my own. ”
Dahui Brother Yile: "I'm not an old man, I don't know the road, can't I find a place like talk!" Looks like that's my desk, right? ”
Zhong Ming had already added a table in advance, and now there were four tables on the balcony, Zhong Ming and Jiang Wanna sat on one side, and Brother Dahui and Zhou Sen sat on the other side.
Brother Dahui put down his bag, took out his laptop and all kinds of things, and put them on the table.
Zhong Ming knew that Brother Dahui had always used his own computer to write code, and he had already used it easily, so he didn't need to buy another office computer.
Brother Dahui looked at Zhou Sen: "Actually, I think you can do the work in your studio by yourself, and it's a bit redundant for me to come over." ”
Zhou Sen said: "What's superfluous, now is now, we still have to develop a lot of large-scale games in the future." Your technical level is better than mine, and we are steadfast in our hearts. ”
After starting to develop the "Working Dog Survival Manual", Zhong Ming went to Brother Dahui twice and talked to him about changing jobs.
Guangyi Mutual Entertainment finally compensated 30,000 yuan, although it did not fully compensate for the medical expenses of hospitalization, but Brother Dahui did not plan to continue to dwell on this matter.
But resignation is still a resignation.
In fact, a person like Brother Dahui who can achieve the main program level in the project of Guangyi Mutual Entertainment must have nothing to say about his technical level, and there are people who want to change jobs wherever he goes. It's just that the sister-in-law repeatedly asked that she must go to a place where the work is not so tiring, even if the salary is reduced.
Therefore, Zhong Ming assured the two of them that the salary would still be opened according to the previous Guangyi Mutual Entertainment, and the bonus would be calculated separately, but he would not work overtime as much as possible. The sister-in-law was instantly moved, and she pouted vigorously.
Brother Dahui thought about it, and it is true that Zhong Ming basically promoted the project "Learning the Boundless" from beginning to end when he was in the project before, and now the studio's first game "Latent Red Path" has been very successful and is a reliable choice.
Otherwise, with such a small studio, he would never consider it.
Brother Dahui sat down at his workstation and looked out the window while cleaning up his computer.
"Don't say it, the environment in your place is quite good, I've been in a big company for a long time, and I feel quite comfortable to change the environment occasionally. Mentally it can be a lot easier. ”
Zhou Sen nodded: "Yes, I feel that my mental state during this period is much better, I used to feel that I didn't want to go to work at all when I got up every morning, and I felt very tired, but now I don't feel that way anymore, and I am full of energy every day." ”
Jiang Wanna added: "Maybe it's mainly because of money, which makes you want to struggle." ”
Zhou Sen laughed: "You tell the truth!" ”
Brother Dahui has everything on his computer, so he doesn't need to download all kinds of software. He first flipped through the design documents for the Working Dog Survival Handbook to familiarize himself with the game.
"This game...... It feels so close to life. ”
"Meeting the expectations of your boss? And satisfaction, health, and psychological stress? It's kind of interesting. ”
"And the contingencies? Can you still have an office romance? Are there a dozen endings at the end? ”
"Zhong Ming, your ambition is not small, so many people dare to do such a complicated game."
The more Brother Dahui looked at it, the more surprised he became, he thought that he was also here to make a game similar to "Latent Red Path", but it turned out that these two games were completely different except that they were made with Mcs2D......
"Alright, let's get started! Zhou Sen: The underlying framework over there should be all set up, right? I'll give me two small modules first, and I'll try them first. ”
Zhou Sen said: "You're all right, right?" ”
Brother Dahui smiled: "No problem, I've been resting at home for five days, and every day in addition to eating and sleeping, at most I take a walk, and I feel that it's not good to touch the code again." ”
"Okay, come on, and strive to go online as soon as possible!"
……
With the addition of Brother Dahui, the project development progress has been accelerated.
Because in the whole development process, in fact, the most critical link is the program.
If the program doesn't work, there will be all kinds of bugs in the game, and even if you test and test it carefully, just changing the bugs may be enough to drag the project down.
Now there are two senior programs in the studio, and the development progress has been much faster.
At this time, the popularity of "Latent Red Path" is still spreading, and a large number of fans are spontaneously promoting it.
Zhong Ming didn't advertise too much, but the good reputation of "Latent Red Road" is a kind of advertisement in itself!
Taking this opportunity, Shimmer Studio has naturally entered the field of vision of more players.
"When I heard that the big guy came out to start a business, my first reaction was a little empty, can it be done? I'm good at painting and music, but I've only just graduated...... But I didn't expect to make such an excellent game as "Latent Red Path", which is really admirable! ”
"Upstairs, speaking of the five-body cast...... Create high-quality games and promote Chinese cultural ......"
"Hahaha, why are you still talking about this stalk, the game has already been released!"
"I didn't expect it, in fact, this also proves that we Chinese people are not without good designers, nor are we without good stories, the key is that there is no one to dig deeper! I'm a fan of Shimmer Studios and hope to see their next work soon! ”
It is difficult to build a good reputation for a game, and it is even more difficult for studios and game companies to build a good reputation.
There is a phenomenon that if the game itself is very popular and profitable, but the reputation is not high and the rating is not high, it is still difficult for players to remember the name of the company.
Companies that are remembered by gamers are often able to do this with a series of high-quality games.
And now, Shimmer Studio is working in that direction.
……
In the blink of an eye, it's November.
Zhong Ming joined the Light Wing Mutual Entertainment in the graduation season, and jumped out after more than two months in it, and more than two months have passed.
All in all, Shimmer Studio is also on the right track.
The place of work has not changed, it is still the house for commercial and residential purposes, and the employees are still four people including Zhong Ming, and they have been busy developing the "Working Dog Survival Manual" recently.
The biggest difference is probably that the studio's book funds and Zhong Ming's pockets are bulging.
After "Latent Red Path" was launched on various game platforms, the net income in the first month was 4.7 million, less in the second month, but there were more than 3 million, and the third month was not over, but judging from the current data, it should be about the same, and there may be more than 3 million.
A large part of the first month's income comes from reservations, after all, the game is a stand-alone game, and players will not have a second consumption after buying it, so it is normal for monthly sales to decline slowly.
But fortunately, "Latent Red Path" has a phenomenal reputation, and it is also a well-deserved phenomenal game in the text adventure genre, so compared with many popular and violent death bracelet games, the stamina is still good.
