Chapter 6 It's not that simple

Ye Shenxi expressed some views on the project of Xia Qingyu Company. Xia Qingyu's heart was full of recognition.

Xia Qingyu said that I can give you the best treatment in the south of the country, and I want to help Ye Shenxi find a house, which is in line with the residence of the project director. Of course, she won't admit that she looks at people like Han Xiao very unpleasantly.

The two talked happily, Xia Qingyu hated to see each other late, and hoped that Ye Shenxi could go to the company to report as soon as possible.

Qingyu Network is currently just starting, the real meaning has just started, it has been listed for two months, and it has only recruited some idle people in the past two weeks, and even the project has not been completed. She herself is a fresh graduate, she endured it for four years, and before she graduated, she couldn't wait to ask for a sum of money from her local tyrant father to open a company, and the last year of her senior year was basically spent on the industrial and commercial process, market research and applying for preferential subsidies for software park enterprises.

She has loved to play games since she was a child, and her wealthy family has never lacked any of the latest fashionable equipment and games, and her parents are also tolerant.

She began to study how to make a game very early, and began to think about the design idea of a certain detail of a game, and speculated about what purpose those pioneer game producers designed it for and what kind of effect they wanted to achieve. That's why she scoffs at the newcomers she meets during the interview process who simply like to play games, but only stay at the level of "playing".

But slowly, as she grows older, her self-awareness is clearer, she has written a lot of system planning cases, and she was full of confidence at the time, but after a while, she found that there were many loopholes, most of the women were born with romantic divergent thinking, and she was the best among them.

This mode of thinking is a nightmare for game producers, the basic requirement to become a qualified game producer is to be logical and thoughtful, especially in the design of the game system, if you don't have these two points, the plan you give must not take into account a lot of points, accompanied by endless bugs, and even if the system is finally done, the effect is very likely to deviate from the expectations set very far, and finally you find that this is not what you want at all, which is the most deadly.

The original dream hasn't changed, but Xia Qingyu has adjusted her positioning: she may never be able to become a successful game producer, but she can still make games that players love. He can provide directional decision-making, run business, even from the perspective of capital, anyway, her family has money, so capricious.

So now that her company has been established, and people have found it (referring to Ye Shenxi), everything is ready, just waiting to do a big deal.

Xia Qingyu introduced some basic information of the company to Ye Shenxi, and Ye Shenxi also sighed that young people who can stick to their dreams and work hard are worthy of admiration, but this girl is really sloppy enough.

"I'm sorry Mr. Xia, interrupt. I ask more bluntly, don't you mind, how long can you sustain the company's R&D cycle with your current funds? ”

Xia Qingyu had already thought that Ye Shenxi would ask this question, and replied calmly: "It depends on your treatment requirements, before that, my cost plan can ensure that there will be no problems with the capital chain in 2 years." ”

"But if you join us, I may not be able to give you the treatment you enjoy in Milestone for the time being, after all, it is a small company that is just starting out, but I can guarantee you the maximum decision-making rights in R&D. I will give my opinion according to the progress of the project during the development of the project, even if we have irreconcilable disputes between us about the direction of the project, I hope you will try to convince me first, if it really doesn't work, you have the final say. Her tone was very sincere.

This is really sincere, Ye Shenxi knows that a person who really likes and loves games will treat the project as his own child, and no one wants to train his child to be liked by others.

But Xia Qingyu is still a pattern after all, and it is not time to talk about salary and treatment.

"What type of game are you working on right now?" Ye Shenxi asked again.

"We're going to make a turn-based game."

"Why?"

"I've spent almost a year researching the market, and the RPG genre is the most popular genre of games on the market, accounting for 50%, and turn-based games accounting for 20%, which account for the vast majority of the market, and they are also the most popular game genre. In 2006, the annual sales of the game market reached 7.13 billion last year, and 90% of them were contributed by these two types of games. Xia Qingyu is quite confident in the results of her research.

"Relatively speaking, RPG games currently have a trend of full 3D, as far as our company's current R&D strength is not enough to support the research and development of 3D projects, whether it is technical cost or time cost, our project team agrees that 2D turn-based games are the best choice."

"Besides, there's a reason now, you." Xia Qingyu looked at Ye Shenxi with burning eyes.

Ye Shenxi was silent for a while and said, "According to the current scale of your project team, it will take at least two years to complete the development of a turn-based terminal game, and the quality cannot be guaranteed. ”

Xia Qingyu was a little surprised, Ye Shenxi didn't seem to approve of developing turn-based games? Do you want to highlight your value or do you really not recommend doing turn-based?

"You're the originator of turn-based projects, so if you join, you should be able to shorten the cycle a lot, right?"

Ye Shenxi felt that this girl had a pure heart, and she was also a little naΓ―ve when she complemented each other: "Don't mythologize me, it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the general has no skills, and the unreliable soldiers under him can win a battle?" Everyone knows what kind of price can recruit what kind of people, Funan now knows the quality of talent in the industry, the success of this industry is accidental, the taste of players, the development of the market, and the influence of current affairs may lead to the success of a project, but in the final analysis, a game becomes a hit because they have excellent quality. You can't be like a lottery and use up everything to make a game to put on the market and be judged by players, either you succeed or everything is over. ”

"When we started Eternity, there were only seven people on the team at the beginning, but I can assure you that any one of these seven people can be on their own, because they have the strength, and the quality of what they make."

Xia Qingyu didn't think about this problem, but what can be done? Where did she find so many talents? The only one she met was Ye Shenxi, and she didn't know if she could do it now: "But talents always need to be cultivated, and the team also needs to grow, and I can't expect to have an experienced and stable development team from the beginning." ”

Ye Shenxi looked at Xia Qingyu: "You're right, so I'm discussing with you, can you afford this cost?" I mean, what would happen to your company if you spent two years building a product and then you didn't make a splash when it went out like a rock in the ocean? Will your rich father still let you invest in this business? ”

Xia Qingyu was silent, she didn't know how to answer.

Ye Shenxi sighed and continued: "As for turn-based games, I can tell you directly that the market is currently saturated. ”

"Eternity" soon after the launch of a large number of followers, the representative works of the same period as Huang Yi's "Dream Qiankun" and "Dahua Qiankun", until Guanghua's "Tianwen" online turn-based games are divided into three camps, these three camps almost all the turn-based games may try to try the core gameplay changes almost all covered, for a long time in the future latecomers can only follow the trend or micro-innovation on the basis of these three, turn-based games are difficult to make any breakthroughs. If you choose to do turn-based, you can only adjust on the basis of "Eternity", "Dream Qiankun", "Dahua Qiankun" or "Tianwen", and then you will face a lot of extremely homogeneous competitors, who come from many teams that are stronger than you, which is too risky for you. ”

Xia Qingyu was stupid, in her previous vision, she did follow the trend of "Eternal" to quickly complete the project and return the funds, she thought about the risk, but she didn't expect it to be so dangerous. A little dazed: "So what do we do?" ”

She was really anxious, Ye Shenxi ruthlessly punctured her beautiful fantasy of this year's time in just one word.
