Chapter 107: Zhu Xian broke through 100,000 equally
With lightning today's team size.
If you make a skin-changing game, and the company has ready-made code modifications, change the UI, and change the characters, then the game will not be a problem at all to be launched within three months.
But what Gu Cheng wants to create is the fantasy fairy "Zhu Xian", not the kind of stand-alone game with a small volume and fewer levels.
This also means that everything, from the underlying code to character modeling, etc., Gu Cheng has to make it from scratch.
This is undoubtedly a huge project for the current lightning.
Fortunately, Gu Cheng has a clear goal for the game and a clear planning plan.
After becoming obsessed with novels, Gu Cheng has been playing since the game's open beta.
In those days, when it cost two yuan to go to an Internet café, the number of registrations exceeded one million after the game was launched for only one week.
The popularity can be described by a slogan "All people punish immortals".
The Baguio in the Huqi Mountain Underground Palace is a must-check holy place for Zhuxian fans, as well as Lu Xueqi, who can be pushed down in Mochizuki Pavilion, who teams up to do tasks every day, set up stalls in Heyang City, cut bamboo in Qingyun Mountain, and chat all night long.
Gu Cheng still thinks back to it, it is full of stories.
After experiencing many versions of the Zhuxian end game, Gu Cheng left good memories and wrote down most of the details of the game.
The world of Zhuxian that Gu Cheng wants to create, although he doesn't dare to say that it is compared with a 3A masterpiece.
However, with excellent art and the blessing of Unreal Engine, coupled with an adaptation that is absolutely close to the original book, it is absolutely guaranteed to bring players a great dream experience.
With a detailed plan.
The next step is to quickly prototype the game and validate the technology......
"Although it may not be possible to develop the game in three months, we can't delay it for a year or two."
"Now the novel is in serialization, and the popularity is high, but the novel is only more than one million words, and it will be over in about three months!"
"The popularity will drop after the novel, and we must make the game go into open beta as soon as possible before the popularity of the novel subsides!"
Gu Cheng propped his hands in front of the conference table and looked around at everyone.
"If you have anything to say, you can bring it up!"
Everyone looked at each other.
Xiao Xian asks a key question.
"Mr. Gu, now our company's technical team is too small, if we want to speed up the progress, do we consider expanding the team?"
Gu Cheng directly ordered, "From the personnel department, wait a minute, you will arrange people to recruit in the talent market." ”
"Received, Mr. Gu!" The HR department replied.
Xiao Xian did not forget to remind: "Try to recruit those with relevant work experience, and fresh graduates can be recruited appropriately." ”
These are special times.
Newcomers have no technical accumulation, and they will not be less likely to step on the pits that should be stepped on and should not be stepped on.
Originally, there were few technical personnel, and there was no time to bring new people, and if there were too many fresh graduates, the company would be in chaos.
Yao Yao said loudly: "Mr. Xiao, don't forget to recruit artists first!" ”
"Our art department is currently the most short of people, there are no action, original painting, and interactive artists, and I am currently the only model designer!"
If Zhu Xian is just changing skins, the online game UI resources are inexhaustible.
But what Zhu Xian wants is a fine picture, which means that he wants to build a high model.
Even if you are a professional artist, it will take a week to produce one.
And that's not even counting the more elaborate high-poly ones.
If you don't want to delay the progress of the game, the art department must bring in talent quickly.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhongtian said lightly: "I know some headhunters, I can let them pay more attention to the technical talents in this area of game artists." ”
Zhang Zhongtian's connections, there is naturally no need to doubt it.
Gu Cheng nodded in thanks: "It's hard work!" ”
"If you have an artist you know, you can also introduce it, and you can get a better salary."
The game artist determines the first impression of the game and is the first bridge between the game world and the player.
As an online game of Xianxia, the characters of Zhu Xian must be elegant and smart, and the game skills must be cool enough.
These require artists to present them with their hearts and technologies.
Yao Yao thought for a while and asked carefully: "Mr. Gu, some of the colleagues who left the company before, some of them want to come back, why don't you recruit them all back?" ”
Most of the employees who leave Lightning are doing it for a living.
We have experience in cooperation, and the work efficiency is twice the result with half the effort.
Gu Cheng didn't mind this.
"As long as they really want to come back, they can come back at any time, and Lightning welcomes the return of every technician!"
Yao Yao was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, Mr. Gu!" ”
After the meeting was dismissed, the employees dispersed.
Gu Cheng said to Xiao Xian: "Mr. Xiao, I have already handed over the preliminary research and development planning of the game to you, and you can make most of the company's decisions next, without going through me!" ”
Xiao Xian was stunned for a moment, and quickly refused: "Mr. Gu, how can this be?" I'm just ...... right now"
Gu Cheng directly raised his hand to interrupt him, "There's nothing you can't do!" ”
"Mr. Xiao, you also know that in addition to the company, I have other business to be busy with, and I don't have so much time to stay in the company."
Xiao Xian subconsciously looked sideways at Zhang Zhongtian.
"What do you want me to do? I don't care about my own family's company, and you still want to count on me? ”
Zhang Zhongtian spread his hands.
Let him pull investment and contribute money, let him come here to manage the company, don't expect it.
Xiao Xian: "......"
Gu Cheng patted Xiao Xian's shoulder and said confidently: "We don't have time, and we are not familiar with the operation of the company, so we can only work hard Mr. Xiao to worry more!" ”
After handing over the work of lightning to Xiao Xian.
In the future, Gu Cheng only needs to take the time to come over from time to time to follow up and supervise the development progress and direction of the game.
After all, he can't help with technical things.
Then Gu Cheng began to think about how to make money.
Although Zhang Zhongtian has attracted investment, the research and development of games is really burning money every minute!
Gu Cheng himself owed Su Qi money.
It seems that the matter of the new album is really urgent!
There is another thing that makes Gu Cheng happy.
That is, "Zhu Xian" is still 1,000 equal, and it is about to break through the ceiling of 100,000 average!
Since its release, this novel has been highly valued by Zhongheng.
In order to let the subscriptions of the novel exceed 100,000 as soon as possible, Zhongheng can be said to have used all resources to promote "Zhu Xian".
