The next day, in the morning.

Wind and thunder games, office area.

The employees are sitting one by one, pretending to be busy with work, the atmosphere is very depressing, the general manager's office, from time to time there is a sound of "clang" smashing things, the sound is so loud that it can be heard from a long distance.

Zhang Ping'an, the general manager, smashed a cash cow ornament on the ground in anger, and the ashtray on the table was full of cigarette butts.

"! Let this Su Chen play again, I know that he is not so kind to sell me the source code! ”

Just now, a foreign sharing forum released a source code for free, which is exactly the same as the function realized by the "God Compressor", which can reduce the size of the picture by 50%.

He spent 1.5 million !!

The source code of the "Tianshen Compressor" was bought, and it was used for less than 2 days, and this kind of thing happened, to say that it was a coincidence, it was difficult for Zhang Ping'an to accept.

These two source codes, the way of writing is completely different, and the functional interfaces used are not the same, he really can't figure out why he just bought the source code, and such code flows out of foreign countries.

Could it really be a coincidence?

Or am I 48 years old this year, just in my natal year, and everything is not going well? I knew it earlier, so I listened to my wife and put on my red pants.

The more Zhang Ping'an thought about it, the more angry he became, and vigorously waved the ashtray to the ground, "clang" and broke it in half, a pile of cigarette butts fell to the ground, and the cigarette ash flew in the air, emitting an unpleasant stench.

1.5 million!

Lao Tzu also posted 300,000 !! upside down

How to explain to the Shanghai headquarters when I look back, 1.5 million is not big, not small, and report it truthfully, the above will definitely criticize himself, and if he wants to be promoted to the headquarters, he must cover up this matter.

"Pocket Street Fighter 3" was listed yesterday, with more than 10,000 downloads, although the internal purchase turnover is very high, even exceeding expectations, but, there is no way to do this, the company's finance will truthfully report to the head office, fortunately, the 1.2 million did not have time to enter the account, and I have to hurry up and pay back to the company's account.

Damn, it's been a year for nothing!

Now, as long as "Pocket Street Fighter 3" is operated well, he will definitely be promoted to the headquarters, and when the time comes, the annual salary will be doubled.

Zhang Ping'an thought of this, his heart was a little more comfortable, he sat down on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and thought about how to quickly occupy the mobile phone fighting market.

......

September 1, 2010.

On the 28th floor of Guorui Building, Binhai City, Tianshen Game Company, officially opened.

In the last few days of the end of August, the recruitment of employees of "Tenjin Games" was finally completed.

Su Chen still released the recruitment information on Zhaopin, and many resumes were submitted on the same day, and after interview screening, the final personnel were decided.

The start-up team of "Tenjin Games" was finally determined, with a total of six people.

Su Chen, male, 21 years old, general manager and owner.

Li Yufen, female, 36 years old, corporate finance and HR.

Wang Qian, female, 28 years old, marketing and operation.

Yang Tiantian, female, 20 years old, game artist.

Zhang Wei, male, 23 years old, game copywriter.

Hou Dazhuang, male, 21 years old, game programmer.

Among them, Li Yufen and Wang Qian both applied for the job.

Li Yufen, who has both work experience in corporate finance and HR, Su Chen is very satisfied with her, she is old and practical, and she can help take care of the company when she is away.

Wang Qian also has experience in marketing and operations.

The company's initial capital was relatively tight, and it could only maintain the scale of the studio, and many functions were merged into one job.

Su Chen thought about it, and invited Lin Zhen over to be the manager, with him in the company, he was more at ease, but he had just been promoted to the deputy general manager of Aurora Games, and the treatment was definitely much better than his own start-up, so he was a little embarrassed to open this mouth, and when he became bigger in the future, he would invite him to come over and sit down.

All employees, the salary is 10,000 yuan, five insurances and one housing fund, the maximum payment, working hours from 9 o'clock in the morning to 5 o'clock in the afternoon, double repair on weekends, this salary, in 2010, is very good.

Inside the conference room.

Su Chen was holding a meeting with them, and just now, everyone introduced themselves one after another, and they had the most basic understanding of each other.

"Our Tenjin Games, the first game we made was "Life Reopening Simulator", and now, I'm going to tell you about the gameplay......"

Su Chen gave a general explanation of the gameplay.

Wang Qian was in charge of the marketing work, frowned, and kindly reminded: "Mr. Su, with all due respect, if a game does not even have pictures, it is impossible to be accepted by the market, only text, players might as well read novels, I have been in the market for a few years, I have seen too many games, and this game is likely to lose money." ”

Su Chen understood her thoughts and appreciated her outspoken work attitude.

Strictly speaking, "Life Restart Simulator" belongs to the text adventure game, which can also be called an interactive novel.

Originally completed by a planner, a programmer, and two people, the game copywriting took a week, and the design and programming of the game only took 2 days.

At the beginning of this game, it was just that the two of them were bored, doing fun, and then sent it to the netizens in the QQ group, who used it for self-exaltation, and no one expected it to be so popular later.

If it weren't for the explosion in 2021, Su Chen wouldn't think that this kind of game would be popular.

This shows a truth, no one can figure out the market, the same game, if it succeeds, there will be a lot of experts to analyze, why it succeeds, if it fails, experts will say, you see, I will say this kind of gameplay is not good.

This is typical survivorship bias.

"Don't worry, Sister Wang, you just need to be in charge of marketing when the time comes, I am very confident in this game."

Wang Qian didn't know where Su Chen's confidence came from, before the meeting, he heard Zhang Wei mention that "2048" turned out to be made by him, which is also a word game, but at least there is background music and pictures, "Life Reopening Simulator" doesn't even have these......

Could it be that he has some obsession with wordplay?

Forget it, I've already reminded the boss that he should have his own plans and do his job well.

Yang Tiantian raised his hand and asked, "Boss Su, then what am I doing?" ”

The more she listened, the more confused she became, the more she thought about it, the more unsteady she became, the game doesn't need pictures, so why did you invite me over, oh my God, he won't regret it, right......

"You design a logo for Tenjin Games, and then beautify our website, with a visual impact and a more dynamic effect."

"Okay, I'm sure I'll get the job done!" Yang Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief, if he had something to do, he was not afraid of being fired.

After Su Chen got up in the morning, he spent 40 minutes to write the program of "Life Reopening Simulator", all of which were developed using the "God Language" and "Celestial" game engines, and the main purpose of making this game was to test the basic functions of the engine.

Next, he issued a task to Zhang Wei, writing some funny and interesting game copywriting, so that players have unexpected effects, with Zhang Wei's temperament and writing, I believe he can complete the task well.

He also instructed Hou Dazhuang to learn the "language of the gods" and the "gods" game engine within a week.

Finally, I told the financial Li Yufen that when she was away, she was in charge of the work, and 1 million had been deposited in the company's account.

"Adjourn the meeting and get to work!"

Everyone left the conference room.
