On January 10th, in this special season near the end of the year, the official account of the long-immersed Xiaopo station "Chuxin Game Studio" released the first video of this account after its creation.

"Me and Ori"

Did Mr. Luo post a video? Just released?

What a coincidence.

A feeling of excitement suddenly rose in Mo Yun's heart.

Although he has only been with Mr. Luo for less than a day, the attitude of a really good game producer still makes Mo Yun admire.

He couldn't wait to click on the video.

Spacious, bright and comfortable, each workstation occupies enough space for employees to put down a small bed, and the workstations are separated by at least one meter from each other, and there is even greenery dotted around.

The most high-end dual-screen computer configuration, ergonomic high-end chairs, and pink lumbar pillows that make girls' hearts burst out......

A dream office area that seems to be only seen in Mr. Pei's Tengda company at first glance caught the eyes of all the audience.

Coffee bar, snack area, entertainment area, gymnasium......

With the introduction of the major facilities in the office building space in front of him, Luo Bai's unrecognizable flat voice and thoughtful narration also lingered in his ears.

"Some people may think that the birth of Ori will come from the office area in front of you, which is very motivating for employees at first glance, but the truth is often very different from what the world thinks."

Immediately after the screen turned, the camera came to the first floor of an old building.

The iron door leading to the upper floor is rusty, and the walls are blackened by the perennial stacking of honeycomb coal.

Dirty and dilapidated, it constitutes the audience's first impression of this community.

Mo Yun was a little dumbfounded, as if he recalled the surprise in his heart when he first went to Chuxin Game Studio as a "guest".

The video continues.

Holding the somewhat shaky shooting equipment, the photographer trotted all the way up in the cramped corridor.

"Ground floor...... 3rd Floor ...... 6th Floor ......"

Until the seven big characters of "Chuxin Game Studio" pasted on the wall in the middle of the corridor with foam glue came into view.

Luo Bai's voice sounded again: "This is where Ori was born. ”

The photographer walked into the room.

In addition to a small table that is boxy and only enough for eight people to eat even if you squeeze it, there is also a 75-inch Thunderbird monitor left, and there are three main hosts placed next to it.

Through the corridor leading to the guest room through the living room, the wall between the guest room and the study on the right is opened up to form the game development department of Chuxin Game Studio.

The finance department, the office of the person in charge, a balcony with a ventilated wind.

Extremely rudimentary, it is difficult to imagine that Ozh was developed from such a place.

"When I first founded this studio, there was only me and a financial staff in the company, so to speak, I was both the boss and the employee.

Although I had a rough idea of the whole idea of Ori in my mind, I knew in my heart that I would definitely not be able to complete Ori by myself.

So I started recruiting people overseas. ”

The door of the game development department was pushed open, and the audience was also shown the real battlefield of Okuri development.

Nine computers are arranged horizontally and vertically in this small room, which seems to be extremely cramped.

Of these, only four computers were turned on, except for the one near the door, which was vacant, and the three little heads were buried behind the computer screens, like three marmots.

After they heard Luo Bai open the door, they raised their heads and shouted "Brother Luo", but when they saw the shooting equipment held in Luo Bai's hand, their heads shrank with a swish.

"What? Now you know that social fear is at this time, right? ”

This voice is different from the narration, it is recorded through the filming equipment, and the listener is very kind.

Mo Yun in front of the screen held his chin with his right hand, funny and envious.

The relationship between the workers is too harmonious.

The narration also sounded at the right time:

"Pu Xingyu, Pang You, Chen Jiabin, the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks I found through Haitou.

They are all college graduates who have just graduated, and although their basic skills are solid enough, they are in a hurry to catch the blind when they encounter the need to detour a little.

In the early days of Ori's development, I needed to teach a lot of things by hand so that they could complete the requirements I submitted to them.

Seriously, I feel that if there were three more experienced people, the development progress of Ori could be faster by more than a month.

It's just that the original intention at that time was too lonely and unknown, and no experienced person could look at it, unless I was willing to give a high premium treatment.

But I can't provide it, at that time I could only give seven thousand January, only a little higher than the average salary of the magic capital, if it wasn't for the 9 to 5 days off, I'm afraid even these three college students would not want to look at the original heart.

At that time, I was really tired, I had to be busy with my work, I had to deal with my upstairs and downstairs neighbors, and I had to be a teacher for these guys, and I had to stay in the office and fix bugs until late at night when they got off work. ”

At this time, the narration corresponds to the photos of the early days of the development of Aori.

"Luo Bai told everyone what kind of code should be written to implement this requirement", "It was late at night, Luo Bai was writing code in the office", "There was a sudden power outage in the daytime, and a few guys could only stare in the development room"......

"But the difficult days will finally pass, and when the project enters the third month, the development progress of the entire Aori project is officially on track.

Pu Xingyu and the others have been able to complete all the tasks I gave them within the specified time, and sometimes they can have heated discussions with me and give some constructive suggestions.

I love working with young people like them, and they have a lot of inspiration that can be quite inspiring.

In the process of developing Aori together, we have also formed a deep friendship. ”

"Heated discussion", "The design of this small map is inspired by Pang You", "Everyone drinks and skewers together on the balcony at night"......

"Finally, on a very cold afternoon, we came from the scorching heat and completely put an end to the development of Ori."

In the center of the picture, the four of them hugged each other and shouted excitedly.

Mo Yun looked at the scene in front of him and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

It turns out that Aori was developed in such a difficult environment, and the perseverance and indomitable spirit that emerged in the process of development along the way are touching.

From this article, we see the ......

"Do the audience who see this place think that I am going to be here to remember the bittersweet memories here?"

Luo Bai's sudden change in voice directly interrupted Mo Yun's reading comprehension, and Mo Yun almost didn't flash his waist.

And next, Luo Bai's narration is even more deviant:

"I made the first half of this video just to show all the viewers one thing, everything I have shown above is the current situation of all indie game developers in China!

But not everyone can replicate the miracle of Ozh.

Someone accepts capital injections and becomes a puppet of capital.

Ideas are distorted, ideas are dismissed, and along the path of success of predecessors, in the safest way, just to the point of bad money, is considered to be successful.

There are also people who do not want to be controlled by others and choose to go it alone.

Because of the lack of start-up capital, even if you have a good idea in your head, you can only rent such a humble place to chase your dreams.

Because of the lack of start-up capital, it is difficult to find a strong partner to support each other and move forward together.

Because of the lack of start-up funds, it is very likely that the final work will either be stillborn or directly unfinished due to the rupture of the capital chain!

But even so, no one ever cares about this group!

Game lovers who are really full of enthusiasm and idealism can only turn games from love to a means of livelihood under the weight of reality. ”

With a long sigh:

"I'm very fortunate that Ori's success has put me ahead of countless game producers, but not everyone has the same good fortune as me.

I'm a game producer, I was, I am, and I will be in the future.

I've often wondered what else I can bring to the industry and what else can I bring to the world, in addition to making a few fun games.

I thought about it for a long time without an answer......

But perhaps, you can give me an answer. ”

The video cuts back to the bright and spacious office building at the beginning.

In reverse mode:

Gymnasium, entertainment area, snack area, coffee bar, office area......

In the end, the whole picture came to the front desk of the company, and after walking straight out of the glass sensor door, a gilded signboard on the right shone brightly:

[Chuxin Game Studio]

[The cradle of every game maker's dream]

At that time, on the barrage, there were already many netizens who were sending some complaints such as "the strongest recruitment video in history" and "painting cake with a teacher".

But Mo Yun touched his throbbing heart at the moment, and his whole body trembled.

He felt a long-lost current of heat churning up and down his body.

"If you want to go, go there."

Mo Yun turned his head suddenly, it was Tang Yunpeng.

"If it weren't for the fact that I didn't have the fighting spirit to forge ahead, maybe I would have been moved by Mr. Luo's words."

Tang Yunpeng smiled happily, looked at the screen, and sighed in his heart.

There will always be young people who want to change the world.

And Mo Yun's heartbeat is also staged in the hearts of countless game producers in Yanguo.
