Number One Game Designer

The trip to Beijing was almost over on the same day, and Fang Xi was too embarrassed to bother Shui Yuan and the others at night, so he took Shao Qiulin out and opened a room.

The winter in the north is very cold at night, which just highlights the importance of heating. The heating in the hotel is fully turned on. Fang Xi and Shao Qiulin took off their coats after entering the room. They only wore unlined clothes and sat on the floor of the hotel room. .

In the evening, Fang Xi drank a little wine to accompany the dishes. For him, the mutton cooked by Shuiyuan was more important. Eating some mutton and drinking a little wine was simply not too good. Shao Qiulin was obviously dizzy from being drunk.

Those present are basically Shao Qiulin's seniors, and they are also future colleagues. In this case, if you want to build a good relationship, drinking is the easiest way, and it is also a northern custom. Fang Xi was more fortunate that he became the boss after graduation and skipped this stage, otherwise it would be better to kill him if he had to accompany him to drink.

For Shao Qiulin, this night will probably be remembered by him.

Because he finally became the person in charge of Qingluan Game Studio, he no longer has to make those krypton gold page games that he is not interested in at all, and he doesn't have to pay attention to the unclear and chaotic bilateral relationship between Lin and Donghuang.

For Shao Qiulin, this was a good start, and also tonight, he finally felt that the bad luck that could not be dispelled entangled in his head had finally disappeared.

"In the future, I will have my own company, and a game where I can put my name on the front!"

"I'm going to participate in E3 too, to let those Yankees who don't have aesthetics know my name!"

"I can do whatever I want, and I don't have to look at the face of the silly boss anymore!"

Shao Qiulin, who was quite drunk, muttered while being resisted by Fang Xi and returned to the hotel.

Fang Xi, who was tired all day, didn't bother to pull Shao Qiulin up and ask him who the "stupid boss" was. Seeing that this kid has been busy all day, Fang Xi doesn't want to worry about it too much. But I still recorded these with my mobile phone. Shao Qiulin looked like a conscientious young man, and such a young man should be willing to spend a lot of money to buy such a young man in the face of his dark history in the future, right?

...

It will be Christmas in two days. Although Hongyi is a Chinese company, there are quite a few foreign employees in the company. Therefore, Christmas is not only a statutory holiday, but also has various subsidies and discounts. Of course, it is limited to foreign employees. If they are domestic, they can get more holiday benefits during the Spring Festival.

As a result, a coquettish operation began to spread inside Hongyi:

If a foreign employee quickly applies to become a Chinese citizen after finishing the Christmas holiday and benefits, wouldn't he be able to receive double benefits in the following New Year?

But of course, this operation has not yet been tried by the Warriors.

Another important thing about Christmas is probably that "Origin of Everything" has finally announced that it will be launched.

At the very beginning, when Fang Xi gathered Lu Tao and others together for development, he said that the main body of this game was developed with JAVA, so the main body is not difficult in fact-the difficulty is the transplantation of the console required by Nintendo.

Fang Xi didn't want to blow up his own brand, so the transplantation of "The Origin of Everything" requires quality first rather than efficiency.

So even if it was only 200 MB on the PC side, it was considered a small game "Origin of Everything", and the porting work took two full months to complete, and finally caught up with the Christmas recommendation on the host side.

For Fang Xi, the only regret is the biggest feature of the PC side: the MOD module system cannot be transplanted to the mainframe, so only one main body can be played on the mainframe, which is the biggest shortcoming.

From Fang Xi's point of view, this game is the one that truly maximizes the creativity of players. As long as you are not too unfamiliar with java, you can make your own mods that interest you. It is a "custom game" in the true sense. This game can be anything you want it to be, as long as there are enough mods.

So Fang Xi reckons that the console side will definitely receive a request for the mod function from the console side in the future, and then Nintendo will only come to trouble Fang Xi... Thinking of this, he shook his head,

Fang Xi thought to himself, why not just set up an official mod production team.

In fact, in the Honghu platform community, the National Architects Club where Zhang Guan is located is good, but unfortunately this is already a small organization, and Fang Xi, as an official, "incorporates" such a small organization, which is a bit troublesome.

Because in such a small organization, the management has basically been finalized, and they themselves are like a small company. When Fang Xi wants to parachute management talents, it will be a bit difficult to direct them to make some mods that they may not be very interested in. .

Moreover, when a group of people gather together, interest demands will inevitably arise. For Fang Xi, this kind of thing is too troublesome. Boss Fang does not want to be Liu Xuande, and this organization is not his Zhuge Kongming.

So for the time being, it is better to maintain a relatively pure cooperative relationship between Honghu Platform and National Architects Club. At least, Boss Fang recently asked them to make a batch of advanced MODs for "The Origin of Everything". People do well.

On the premise that they didn't explain it, they made a light and shadow mod for this game without a teacher. Not to mention, once this mod is installed, the game's performance will be improved a lot in an instant, and the price is that the game's configuration will also be improved. .

In addition, their pre-release mods are various, Fang Xi is very satisfied, and I believe players will be pleasantly surprised.

A week before Christmas, Hongyi officially announced the official launch of "The Origin of Everything", and it will be launched simultaneously on PC and console. Of course, the prices of the two are also very different.

The price on the PC side is only $9.9, the digital version on the console needs $19.9, and the physical version is $29.9. This is also the consistent sales strategy of consoles, high prices, high profits, Fang Xi has no right to say anything, after all, people will give themselves a share, if Fang Xi's prediction is not bad, the sales volume of PCs may be consoles More than ten times, but the profit may be about 30% more than the motherboard.

Mastering the mainframe is like mastering a golden mountain. The players here are basically the most spending power among the players. Facing this thing, Fang Xi can only sigh with envy, envy and hatred—why his father didn’t Decided to be a host! Now if he took over a host company, the other boss would have punched Microsoft and stepped into Nintendo, okay?

I don’t want those who have or don’t, after all, my father treated him fairly well in this life, and if my father had the money to be a console, then no matter what the money is used for in China, it will make more money than making games. Why bother?

On Christmas Eve, "The Origin of Everything" was finally launched. As a loyal player of this game in the last time and space, Fang Xi was also curious about the fate of this game in this world:

Will players still like this game?
