Chapter 496: office

After the game project was established, Liu Huaxing began to continue preparing for his new game plan. It is a wise choice to enter the game market with the goal of future mobile games, especially since smartphones have been rapidly popularized among young people in the past two years, and the first excellent mobile games will surely become a cash cow in the market.
Of course, considering the current habits of mobile phone users, it is best to take the form of free games plus krypton gold in the mall, and the content of krypton gold...mainly weapon skins and character skins.
The rest of the studio, including Hao Qian, were not sure about Liu Huaxing's decision, but they couldn't imagine how much players would be willing to spend to make themselves look better, even if they didn't even have a skin at all.
It can be seen from various competitive games and mobile games in the future, including LOL, King of Glory, Fifth Personality and even CF. These games are profitable by skins, although most of these game skins have no attributes. But players just spend a lot of money to get it, so there is no need to worry about profit.
What's more, free games can also be profitable by advertising. As long as the game is fun, profit is not a problem at all.
From the "flaws" of the previous game, Liu Huaxing once again felt the importance of the "details" of the game.
The praise of the game is basically because the game is good enough in details. Conversely, the game is not the best but also because of the lack of details in the three aspects of graphics, sound effects and BGM. As long as it is improved this time, there is no problem. Of course, the most important thing to pay attention to is the issue of "harmony".
After all, China is a harmonious country. Anything stained with red is bloody, but anyone who kisses the mouth and records a leg is pornography. In this respect, we must pay attention to it, and it will be harmonious. So after thinking about it, Liu Huaxing is going to adopt the Q version of the animation style of Plants vs. Zombies. The best choice is the "fifth personality" style.
Although cute, it is dark, and it is absolutely impossible to be harmonious. It can also attract more ages of players and female players to join. But what really keeps players is the gameplay of the game, so how to enrich the gameplay is very important. Here, Liu Huaxing retains a mechanism in their studio's game "Tomorrowland": random story mode.
The system AI randomly arranges various disasters, such as storms, zombie waves, plague, and epidemics to increase the difficulty of survival in the survivor’s camp, forcing players to search for different materials according to different disasters, such as digging flood dikes, collecting ammunition, and searching Food and medicine, and then arranging related materials in different copies can improve the game's durability.
There is a basis for writing scripts. It is not a big deal for Liu Huaxing to do game planning. After all, the script is written with hundreds of thousands of words. Game planning with tens of thousands of words is not a problem at all, but it takes some time to consider As far as the balance of all aspects of the game and the details of the game are concerned, just a little bit of it every day and gradually improve it.
But as the game plan is slowly completed, they will also start to prepare for recruitment.
As for the job of recruiting, Liu Huaxing let other partners handle it, publish recruitment information on various job search websites and the human resources department, wait for everyone to submit their resumes, and then prepare for interviews. But in this way, they also need to prepare a studio. It is impossible to let the studio employees work at home, so Liu Huaxing and Yang Xiaoxiao came out to see the place this day.
"Xingxing, do I have my own office?" Yang Xiaoxiao asked with a happily smile holding Liu Huaxing's arm. Liu Huaxing raised her brows and poked her forehead lightly, "You are a financial officer, what do you want an office for? "
"That's not your secretary? When you're okay, I didn't want your little secretary to serve you..." Yang Xiaoxiao smiled pretentiously, Liu Huaxing couldn't help laughing, and kissed her little hand: "Look again, I might arrange an office for myself. Isn't my office your office?"
"Hehe...How many people do you plan to recruit in the studio?" Yang Xiaoxiao asked with a grin.
Liu Huaxing estimated that based on the workload of the previous game of "Tomorrowland", he thinks there are about eight to ten programmers, but if there are four people including Chen Ye, Liu Chang, Li Xuesong and Bai Renzong, only It is enough to recruit five or six people, then there are four artists, four people in the finance department, and two people in the operation department...
The whole studio should have about 20 people. The subtitles and music are only produced in the post-game stage, so there is no need to rush to recruit them. You can recruit them after the game is almost produced, or simply outsource them. Other subtitle groups and music rooms, after all, these two departments do not have many tasks, and they are not that important. There is no need to maintain them for a long time.
Liu Huaxing estimated that based on the number of twenty people, the wages of employees are calculated according to the standards of Beichang City. Each month just to pay wages requires about 100,000 yuan.
In addition to renting a studio large enough to work for 20 people, if it is spacious enough, an office building of about one hundred and five to two hundred square meters will be needed, with four to five offices. The monthly rent for an office of this size is about 20,000 yuan, plus the scattered expenses, the cost of operating the studio is calculated to conservatively require 150,000 yuan a month.
"It's really tiring to do your own studio..." Liu Huaxing exclaimed in his heart.
But already on this path, it is not easy to look back now, after all, there are still people who are counting on themselves. What's more, this is also a way for him and Yang Xiaoxiao to work in the same place, so they don't have to be separated when they work in the future.
"What do you think of this place?" Liu Huaxing asked with Yang Xiaoxiao's small face. Yang Xiaoxiao looked around. The office buildings are all decorated, and there are desks and chairs inside, as long as computers and personal items are placed. You can start work.
"It's okay, is the floor too high?" Yang Xiaoxiao muttered.
"But the vision is good, isn't it?" Liu Huaxing patted her little head.
"Then rent here if you like." Yang Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "I will be satisfied with you anyway."
"Don't rush to decide, let's look at others." Liu Huaxing said with a smile.
In the end, Liu Huaxing rented the roof of an office building. Although it was an 18-story roof, it might be a bit inconvenient to get up and down, but this office would come with a roof top. The roof is currently empty and there is nothing, but in the future, you may be able to plant flowers and plants here, and you can come to the roof to breathe when you are tired.
He rented the entire floor, which was almost 180 square meters, consisting of two small offices, a large office and a common room. The common room is a bit similar to a small living room. In addition to the sofa, there are refrigerators, water dispensers, coffee machines and microwave ovens. The large office is almost more than 60 square meters. Programmers and artists usually work here.
The two small offices are only more than ten square meters. One of them is for four people in the finance department for activities, and the other is for their partners for meetings. Liu Huaxing did not leave a private office for himself and Yang Xiaoxiao, because he is the "boss" here after all, and he doesn't have to stay here when he has nothing to do.
However, because there are ready-made desks, chairs and microwave ovens inside, the rent per square meter is 100, which is almost 20,000 per month. In terms of area, it's not very large, but the working environment is really good.
The good news is that the studio currently has 2.5 million in funds, plus Hao Qian’s 2 million in the name of her father’s company, and 4.5 million is enough for the studio to support the next game. It's more than enough. When the new game starts to make money, there will naturally be an influx of new funds.
But it’s too busy for Liu Huaxing to take care of all of these things. Not only do you have to rent an office building, but you also have to prepare a computer for your studio work, register company information with the Ministry of Commerce, and check your resume. It is necessary to separate it and let the rest of the studio share it together. This is the advantage of having a partner, without having to deal with everything by yourself.
Although Wang Zhao and Zhang Chengfei did not participate in the programming, the work of the studio was their own business, so they did not idle, helping with other people to buy computers and screen the resumes they submitted. In terms of recruitment, Liu Huaxing is more inclined to hire fresh graduates with good professional standards, with low salaries and young people to facilitate communication.
I was busy preparing for it, busy with everyone in the studio, and time came to May in the blink of an eye.
Taking advantage of the May Day holiday, Liu Huaxing is also preparing to take a good rest at home with Yang Xiaoxiao.
"It's been a busy period of time." Yang Xiaoxiao leaned on the sofa and pillowed his stomach while looking at her nails. Because the new nails have grown out, the previous nails will be considered scrapped. You must go to the nail salon again. Make it up again.
"Yes, but at least we both dealt with it together. Don't say I left you out." Liu Huaxing squeezed her little nose and said, Yang Xiaoxiao raised her head and looked at him with a smile: "Yeah, so I feel quite happy, and follow my stars everywhere."
"So, I have been with you on May Day these days." Liu Huaxing smiled, feeling her pink cheeks with the back of her hand, "If you want to eat or where you want to go, just speak up. I will serve you these days. Good job."
"That..." Yang Xiaoxiao turned around on him, changed from lying down to lying on his chest, "I want to eat Mapo tofu."
"Hey, she is really an easily satisfied girl." Liu Huaxing sighed distressedly, "Anything else?"
"Nothing." Yang Xiaoxiao smiled cheerfully and sat up from the sofa, "I'll go with you!"
After getting up, the little girl happily followed him to prepare to go to the kitchen, but only took two steps. Because of the too much movement, her foot accidentally kicked to the edge of the coffee table. At that time, Yang Xiaoxiao exclaimed, and then squatted down, clutching her feet, making a sharp grunt. Liu Huaxing hugged her and sat down quickly, holding the foot she had kicked.
"Oh, be careful..." Liu Huaxing said distressedly, and helped her take off her shoes and socks, and tightly held the toe she had knocked on. Yang Xiaoxiao burst into tears with pain, and said angrily and aggrieved: "It's all the fault of this coffee table! If it were round, I wouldn't be able to kick it! We shouldn't have bought this square coffee table!"
"Well, yes, that's right." Liu Huaxing nodded with a smile, helping her rub her feet.
But the fact is, it was Yang Xiaoxiao who wanted to buy this coffee table. Liu Huaxing is not particularly concerned about the furniture at home, as long as it is convenient to use, and the appearance is not particularly ugly, so Yang Xiaoxiao chooses everything at home.
Yang Xiaoxiao seemed to know what he was thinking, she opened her beautiful eyes and stared at him and asked, "Are you thinking, I bought this coffee table at the beginning? It's not right now?"
"Do you know what I'm thinking?" Liu Huaxing smiled, bowed his head and kissed her ankle: "I was thinking, your little feet are white and tender, so cute, I want to take a bite."
"Huh..." Yang Xiaoxiao narrowed his eyes and looked at him with some suspicion. Liu Huaxing lowered his head to examine her toes and nodded: "Well, there is nothing wrong with the toes and nails. Fortunately, the weather is cold. The shoes and socks are separated, so be careful in the summer? Such beautiful little feet, it would be no good if they were broken."
"I see..." Yang Xiaoxiao muttered with a pouting mouth, then opened his arms, "I want to hug..."
"Well, you little fairy..." Liu Huaxing smiled and hugged her up, "Let's go, make you mapo tofu."
Yang Xiaoxiao followed him and came to the kitchen, turning around him.
In fact, during this period of time, Yang Xiaoxiao’s own cooking skills have improved to a level that is quite rare in Liu Huaxing’s view. In terms of cooking techniques, Yang Xiaoxiao can actually be comparable to him, but the little girl has some cooking techniques abroad. She is not very familiar with the process, but as long as she tries and learns more by herself, she is completely at the level of a Michelin-level chef.
Liu Huaxing wondered whether he should occasionally teach his little strawberry some more complicated foreign cooking, such as Wellington steak, so that he would have no problem even if he did not work in late rice. Since Liu Huaxing showed his hand last time, no one has come to find fault in Late Rice. Now Late Rice has completely finished the decoration and is now recruiting new chefs.
In order not to affect the business of our shop, it took a lot of time to open up the walls on both sides, so the decoration was completed later than expected. Now that new chefs, waiters, etc. have been recruited, the next step is to train them. When the May Day holiday is over, Liu Huaxing will also go to the restaurant to help them in training.
This training is not a culinary instruction. It recruits elite chefs. The purpose of the training is to inform these new chefs about the current operating methods of the restaurant's back kitchen and allow them to adapt quickly. Of course, Liu Huaxing is not specifically responsible for training, but just to give you a demonstration. The real training is still for the older chefs in the restaurant.
"Little strawberry, pass me pepper." Liu Huaxing rolled up his sleeves and smiled.
