As the studio officially opened, they also entered the interview session. Although their studio already has the foundation for two games, they are still unknown studios in China, and most of the interviewees are fresh graduates. And these graduates are not planning to do something or learn something, but simply earn some extra money and mix some work experience.
After all, their game reputation is not particularly well-known, but Liu Huaxing does not matter. It is better to say that they use each other without paying too much compensation, and there is no need to worry about when these people will resign in the future. Anyway, they will finish the next game. It doesn't matter if these people resign when they should.
During the interview, Liu Huaxing participated with other partners. Liu Huaxing’s standards are still based on character and programming ability. You can learn and gradually improve. However, if the program at hand is half written, he suddenly resigns for personal reasons. Destroying all the written programs before leaving will seriously slow down the studio.
Therefore, Liu Huaxing is firmly opposed to cooperating with those who are not right in their minds. Qian Xiaofan has learned a lesson from this. Fortunately, he was quite accurate in seeing people, so after a round of screening, they basically determined the internal members of the studio. The eight programmers... of course are all men. They are composed of Chen Ye, Liu Chang, and Li Xuesong. Leaded by four people with Bai Renzong, each with two people is responsible for part of the game content programming.
The four artists, including three girls and one boy, are responsible for game modeling and illustration, plus two members of the subtitle team, and a total of fourteen people are recruited, including Yang Xiaoxiao, Li Ying, Zhou Hong and Dong Yue. There are two members of the finance department, seven partners, and twenty-five people in the entire studio. A few more than expected, but the office can accommodate.
After all, the seven partners are not always here anytime, anywhere, as long as two people come over every day to supervise everyone's work. In the future, members of the two operating departments will be recruited to be responsible for game operations. As for the game music, it can be outsourced to other music studios, and it does not have to be original. Just change the existing music and adapt it to an instrument.
Therefore, on May 10th, the first day of the studio’s formal work, Liu Huaxing and seven partners came to the studio, looked at all the staff, and prepared to briefly explain to everyone.
"I won't tell you about dreams, ambitions, and brainwashing of MLM thinking. The things we gather here today are pure interests." Liu Huaxing said straightforwardly, "In that case, I hope we can The best way to get what we each want. You give me a game, and I give you work experience and salary..."
Said, Liu Huaxing shrugged: "Of course I know our salary may not be a lot, but from another perspective." Liu Huaxing looked around the studio and smiled: "At least our working environment is not bad, right. Right? And what I can guarantee is that there is no compulsory free overtime and the employee benefits are complete, but it does not include the referees."
There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and Liu Huaxing continued: "Everyone is young, and it is more convenient to communicate. You don't need to be too formal. If you have any questions, negotiate in time. That's it, I hope I can have a good time working in this place."
There was a sparse applause, and then Liu Huaxing added: "Gather tonight after get off work to celebrate the official opening of the studio. I will pay for it personally." The applause became enthusiastic.
The work on the first day is relatively simple. It is basically to convene all the members and tell everyone about his game plan and his expectations for the game. Because it is a mobile phone game, it is not difficult to achieve the effect Liu Huaxing expects, but there are also some problems, that is, the performance of the mobile phone.
At present, Apple's mobile phone is only stuck in Apple 5, and the gap in performance from the future is still relatively large. This is more obvious in domestic mobile phones. The key to the popularity of mobile games depends on whether the mobile phone can drive this game.
This requires that the optimization of the game must be done well enough, which is a challenge for programmers.
An optimized game that is good enough can greatly reduce the capacity of the game and reduce the performance requirements of the game, but this depends entirely on the programming of the game. It needs to continuously improve and simplify the calculation method, thereby reducing the capacity of the game and speeding up the calculation method. Especially the optimization aspect is extremely important. A well-optimized game can reduce the running configuration by several grades.
This is also the reason why Liu Huaxing recruited two more programmers. On the one hand, Chen Ye can have two people under each of them to work together, and on the other hand, it is also because there are more people to do it more efficiently.
When the game is made, the performance of the mobile phone should be improved, but it is still not enough to make the game popular. So there is a very critical question: the best release time for the game.
In terms of mobile phone performance, this game is most suitable to be released after three or four years. At that time, the performance of mobile phones improved rapidly. Even more than one thousand domestic phones could reach the performance of Apple 6. At that time, most mobile phones were Can run this game. And before that? It can only be sold or run as a computer game first, but this has another problem.
If it is a computer game, the picture quality and engine of this game are not excellent in contemporary games. How can it compete with other games? Only rely on the playability of the game and change the style of the game.
Fortunately, Liu Huaxing had decided to change the game to a Q-print style similar to the fifth personality in order to avoid violence and other reasons before the game was harmonized. This can make up for the shortcomings of the lack of fine graphics and engine.
And they can use this game to run on the computer to accumulate a certain amount of popularity and heat, and wait a year before releasing the mobile version to solve all the problems perfectly.
Of course, the best way is to sell the copyright of the game to other big companies after the game is made, so that they will be fine. Those big companies have abundant financial resources and can invest games on their mobile apps when they see fit. Liu Huaxing explained these to the people in his studio, and today one day has passed.
Then it was almost time for get off work, Liu Huaxing invited everyone to dinner and party as previously said, and welcomed the newcomers.
But Liu Huaxing didn't choose a particularly high-end place. It was an ordinary barbecue restaurant. In the studio, more than twenty people gathered at the table, and everyone spoke freely.
Most of the questions for the studio employees are why their partners are so young.
At this time, Liu Huaxing can proudly tell them that he has come step by step.
Liu Huaxing always doesn't like to make people around him feel that getting rich can be achieved overnight by buying lottery tickets. Many people see that others win lottery tickets and others buy stocks and think that they can be invested. Everyone only sees those who buy stocks overnight. Rich, but did not notice that more people went bankrupt because of stocks. This is the so-called "survivor bias".
So now Liu Huaxing can tell everyone in the studio how they started from scratch from the beginning. A group of people made their first "CSGO" DLC based on their hobbies and went viral on the Internet, and then sold the game plan. The money raised a second group of people to make a second game and then made more.
He can tell them that making money is down to earth, little by little accumulation, rather than opportunistic tricks.
"Now the sales of "Tomorrowland" has broken through one million." Liu Huaxing smiled triumphantly, "If the game includes DLC, the current total profit has reached more than 30 million. I think it is already for us. It was a big success."
"Oh, it's a pity that we didn't have much vision at the time. We transferred the copyright of the game for temporary benefit." Zhang Chengfei sighed and said to the team members in front of him, "So you must have a bit of foresight, if I gave up the temporary benefits Take a long-term view, and now I can get four times more money. People, to make money, you must have foresight."
"Fortunately, I turned around in time." Liu Huaxing teased.
Wang Zhao immediately agreed: "Really turned around in time! Do you remember Qian Xiaofan? Since he left our studio, I heard that he has also started looking for a job, but because of his eyesight and low hands, he has not found a suitable one. As a result, the money was spent, his girlfriend broke up with him, and now even his car worth more than 200,000 yuan has been sold."
"I've also heard about it. It's a big trouble." Chen Ye nodded and said, "The guy had a bad reputation at school, and the cheating with his girlfriend on his back was exploded several times. So Later, when he had no money, he was dumped by his girlfriend. To be precise, he was greened by his girlfriend and then dumped again."
"Wow, it's so amazing?" Yang Xiaoxiao was very excited at the time. After all, she is a girl, and her gossip nature is hard to change.
"Yeah." Chen Ye sighed. "I heard that his girlfriend went to the hotel with another man and was bumped into him. Then he confronted his girlfriend face to face, and his girlfriend simply dumped him. I think It should be a kind of revenge."
Zhou Hong whispered: "It must be deliberate. He used to cheat frequently, and his girlfriend must have a grudge."
"This can be regarded as retribution." Li Xuesong smiled, "Man, you still have to know how many catties you are. Besides, one million is not a lot. This year, the first house is one million. As for making him float like that Is it? I still have too little experience and no knowledge."
Everyone was talking while eating, because either they were students or they had to drive a car, so everyone didn't drink, and they left after eating.
"Are you going to drive this car?" Chen Ye looked at Liu Huaxing's Dongfeng Fengshen and frowned slightly.
"What's the matter? I don't drive a lot." Liu Huaxing said disapprovingly.
"You also made more than ten million yuan? It's better to buy a better car." Li Xuesong replied, "After all, he is the founder of our studio. When I go out to meet and chat with others, I will drive this car. It won't be a bit shame..."
"At that time, I will be in a vehicle of hundreds of millions." Liu Huaxing joked, and then blinked slyly, "Subway."
After speaking, Liu Huaxing took Yang Xiaoxiao into the car. Yang Xiaoxiao fastened his seat belt and smiled and said: "I'm a little nervous, I will officially go to work in the studio from tomorrow..."
"You are still students, I don't force you to work in the studio." Liu Huaxing touched her head and said, "Just do your job well, record the flow of funds, and pay the employees five insurances. One gold will do."
"But it's okay. Anyway, it's more than a month before the junior year. There will be few courses. It's normal for us to go out for internships." Yang Xiaoxiao came over and kissed him on the face. People are also driving away.
Liu Huaxing drove behind them, but he was also thinking about what Chen Ye said. Indeed, as the founder of the studio, it does not seem appropriate to use this 70,000-80,000 car to discuss business with others. He doesn't care about it, but when it comes to the image of the studio, he thinks maybe he should pay attention to it. People cannot change society, they have to adapt to it.
He is not short of money now. The sales of "Tomorrowland" is still increasing, and it has reached more than 1.2 million sets, and the income from games continues to penetrate him. Liu Huaxing can get more than half of the profit, so there should be close to 20 million in his bank account. Anyway, the money has been credited to the account, and he didn't see how much.
With 20 million, it feels reasonable to buy a better car. This Dongfeng can be given to relatives in my hometown. But there is no need to buy it yet. After all, the game has not been made yet, and there is no point in negotiating with others. The depreciation of the car is very fast, and it is not too late to buy a million-dollar luxury car after the game is finished.
After returning home, when Liu Huaxing opened the door, Orange immediately rushed over and groaned around them.
"Oh, okay, okay, I brought you meat." Yang Xiaoxiao leaned over and touched the orange head with a smile.
Every time they left an orange and a dog at home to eat, Yang Xiaoxiao would pack the meat from the leftovers and bring it back to the orange to eat, which was a kind of comfort, lest she be kept in the house alone and depressed. So Orange has also developed a habit, and came over to have fun with him, and then followed Yang Xiaoxiao to wait for the meat.
"Mabao dog..." Liu Huaxing shook his head and sighed.
"Huh? Can the kids always be reminded to eat?" Yang Xiaoxiao frowned as she watched the orange that kept her nose arched, "No! Yes! So! What should I do if I want to eat? Tell mom."
Orange snorted, and then took two steps back and sat down. Yang Xiaoxiao smiled with satisfaction: "Yeah! How good!"
After that, Yang Xiaoxiao rinsed the meat in the packing box in water, rinsed off all the seasonings on it, and put it in the orange dog pot. Because dogs do not need to take in salt, eating salty for a long time can cause kidney failure.
"It's so good." Yang Xiaoxiao squatted on the side of the orange watching it eat while smiling, and stretched out his hand to touch the orange's neck, and the orange didn't protect food nor flinched. It knew that Yang Xiaoxiao would not hurt it. .
"My babies are very good." Liu Huaxing touched Yang Xiaoxiao's head and smiled, "Should I take a bath first?"
"Wait, you throw the changed clothes into the washing machine? My underwear will be washed separately." Yang Xiaoxiao reminded.
"I'll help you wash it." Liu Huaxing said with a smile, but just after taking a change of clothes, there was a call on the phone. The name of the phone was "Director Wang", which was the director of the TV series Wang Haicheng. Knowing that this bath is impossible.
"Little Strawberry, let's take a shower first." Liu Huaxing sighed, "I will answer the call."
