Liu Huaxing's "studio" proposal, in fact, everyone at the scene had thought about the stakes involved. First of all, this "gamble" can be said to be a guaranteed profit, because they have already earned as much as one million from Liu Huaxing's previous project. Even if the next two years were wasted, they would still earn half a million a year.

This is an acceptable risk for them. After all, they are still college students. Wang Zhao and Qian Xiaofan are juniors, while Chen Ye and Zhang Chengfei are sophomores. They still have two years left in their college life. The past two years have been spent making this game just right. Even if the production is successful and you don’t make a lot of money, there is something to write on your resume when you are looking for a job, so it won’t be blank.

And even if the game production fails at that time, it will not affect their job hunting after graduation, there is no risk.

Therefore, everyone at the scene had no reason to object to Liu Huaxing's proposal. It was a very cost-effective gamble. The investment was nothing more than their time in college. If they won the bet, they would make a lot of money. Nothing to lose.

Liu Huaxing can handle the task of bilingual translation by himself. After all, his English is still very good, so the tasks that need to be outsourced at present are the two tasks of modeling and texture. Because the people on site are all science students studying computers, and no one knows how to do art.

In addition to Liu Chang, Liu Huaxing found two companions who still meet the requirements among the thousands of "resumes" recruited online. those who are interested.

Liu Huaxing is going to introduce it to other people in the studio with Liu Chang when the time comes, so that the entire studio will be officially established, and then game production will start. The more convenient thing about simulation business games is that they don't need too complicated plots, but mainly in terms of gameplay and details, so the main task is to write programs.

After all, it is a 2D game. Liu Huaxing expects that it will take only one year to complete the production and release the trial version, and then spend another two to three months for debugging and bug fixing. Two years is just a conservative estimate. In theory, the official version can be launched in one and a half years, because his game planning is very complete.

As for the sales method, Liu Huaxing currently has two plans.

The first is to sell on a platform like "Steam". This will be a very slow process. The sales volume of the game will definitely not be high at the beginning, but if the game is really high quality, the sales volume will definitely increase over time. It will gradually increase, but in this way the game copyright cannot be sold.

Because it is sold on Steam, it means that the copyright has already belonged to their studio by default. In the future, other companies can only obtain the game copyright by acquiring their studio, and the subsequent updates and income of the game will also be obtained by the company.

The second solution is to launch a free trial version online like "Minecraft". If the popularity is high, a big company like Microsoft will buy the game. After the game is acquired, these companies usually use built-in advertisements in the game to make money.

To put it bluntly, it is the difference between "free games" and "paid games".

After thinking for a while, Liu Huaxing is going to take the second route, because he can "get the heat". The past two years also happened to be the time when "Minecraft" was launched. Currently, the popularity of this game is still rising, and it has not reached the level of exaggeration in the future.

And their game just happened to be launched at the most popular time of the game "Minecraft", and this game, which is similar to "Minecraft", can naturally gain popularity by the way. Once players find that the gameplay is not inferior to "Minecraft", but the screen is slightly better than "Minecraft", the popularity of the game will naturally rise.

In addition, "Famine" will also be launched next year, and it will start to become popular around 2014, so it is a good time to catch the popularity of these two games at the time when their game is launched.

Although it may take about half a year for the popularity to rise, it does not affect it, because they can launch the game online for free when the trial version is released, and it is also convenient for them to collect various data for bug fixes.

The most important thing is that this game is a stand-alone game, that is to say, no server is required. But the game still needs to be online to be fun, so Liu Huaxing's ultimate goal is "online". He will release an online upgrade patch when the popularity of the game rises in the future. From the planning point of view, as long as the game can be produced in about a year, everything will be fine.

This is the benefit of being able to predict the future in advance. Liu Huaxing thought to himself.

So, the next day, Liu Huaxing brought their three new members together, met with the other four, and introduced each other, so that all the members of the studio were assembled, and today they can sign the contract and start working .

"This is Liu Chang, who is also my high school classmate." Liu Huaxing briefly introduced Liu Chang to everyone.

Everyone quickly accepted Liu Chang, because Liu Chang also exuded a "programmer" atmosphere, honest and honest and a bit introverted, which aroused the sympathy of everyone at the scene.

Then, Liu Huaxing turned to the second person. This person was slightly fat, 1.75 meters tall, wearing round glasses, and looked very friendly, reminiscent of the Maitreya Buddha statue: "This is a graduate student at Beijing Changzhou University of Technology. His predecessor, Bai Renzong, is also a fan of simulation management games. He made some War3 survival maps, and he is quite famous in the circle."

Finally, Liu Huaxing turned to a short man with a mid-part comb and glasses so thick that his eyes were a little deformed. It looked like he hadn't shaved for a few days: "This senior, he's already working. Li Xuesong, who graduated from our Beichang University, is also a fan of business simulation games."

"Hey? Did the senior graduate go to a game company?" Qian Xiaofan looked at Li Xuesong curiously and asked.

"No, I went home and opened a shop with my family, a breakfast shop." Li Xuesong said with a wry smile, "But I majored in computer science in college, and I have passed the second level of programming. I get up at four o'clock every morning and leave work at ten o'clock in the morning, so there are many I just want to do something I am interested in when I have time. I have seen the game plan of my junior, and I think it will be a great simulation business game.”

"That's right." Bai Renzong also nodded in satisfaction, "Based on my years of experience in simulation management games, this game is definitely the best among its kind, especially the details reflected in it. If it can be achieved, it must be It can become famous in one fell swoop. Have you seen it? The 'roof' design inside, I think it is very good."

"Ah... I second the proposal." Li Xuesong immediately said intoxicated, "Generally speaking, it is impossible for 2D plane games to have the concept of 'roof', but this game reflects the roof through shadows, weather, and indoor temperature. The details are really great. After the roof is removed, potted plants can be planted indoors but cannot be kept warm, which is really a great detail.”

"There is also climate change." Bai Renzong echoed, "It is also great that I can choose my birth position on the planet. Novices can choose a tropical rainforest without winter, but there are more hostile forces near the tropical rainforest. Born in the desert or polar regions Although the area is facing a harsh environment that makes planting more difficult, but the surrounding forces tend to be neutral, these details are really awesome!"

Liu Huaxing could see that these two people really liked his game project, so he said with a smile: "In short, today I will bring everyone to meet and sign a contract. From now on, the eight of us will be 'Strawberry Studio' There are eight veterans, and each of us is responsible for a part of the work until the game is officially launched. Until then, let's work together, shall we?"

The contract is more detailed than last time, because the interests involved are more complicated, so Liu Huaxing proposed some post-breach clauses. For example, those who cannot complete their own tasks on time will transfer their future income to those who complete more tasks in proportion. And the five of them who contributed to the outsourcing of modeling and art will get an extra 1% of their remuneration in the future.

Everyone can accept the terms of the contract, so everyone signed the contract at that time. Liu Huaxing only needs to send it to the law firm for backup, and the game can start working.

After the tasks were assigned, Liu Huaxing's tasks in the "studio" came to an end for the time being, and then it was the turn of the programmers to be busy.

But now that Liu Chang is here, Dong Yue will naturally come with him. When Liu Huaxing and Liu Chang were discussing business matters, Dong Yue walked around the school with Yang Xiaoxiao. Now that the business is over, Liu Huaxing also plans to Treat them both to a meal.

Beichang University is famous for its cafeteria, so Liu Huaxing simply took them to eat in the cafeteria, and it happened that the consumption of the cafeteria was relatively low, so that Liu Chang would not feel embarrassed.

"Dude, your cafeteria is really good." Liu Chang, who has always been silent and introverted, couldn't help sighing after eating the food in their school cafeteria, "This is better than my parents' craftsmanship."

"The cafeteria in our school is really scary. Last week there was a 'braised banana'. How about it? Are you afraid?" Dong Yue asked threateningly, "It's braised bananas, not shredded bananas, which are braised in soy sauce."

"Hey...that sounds disgusting." Yang Xiaoxiao frowned and said in disgust, "The food in our cafeteria is quite normal."

"Right!? You don't even know how those people came up with this kind of dark food!" Dong Yue said angrily, then turned to Liu Huaxing and asked curiously, "Hey, how are you talking?"

"Alright." Liu Huaxing said half-jokingly, "Your boyfriend will be a millionaire in two years."

"Hey, I don't have that high demand on him." Dong Yue waved his hand and smiled, "As long as he feels that he is doing meaningful things, to be honest, I also think these are more suitable for him, rather than going Work outside as a waiter or wash dishes."

"However, these two years may be more difficult?" Liu Huaxing reminded, "Can you get through it?"

"Try hard." Dong Yue sighed, and then gave Liu Chang a resentful look.

"I will work hard and not hold everyone back." Liu Chang seriously replied to Liu Huaxing.

"Come on?" Yang Xiaoxiao smiled, "Whoever gets married first will be the best man and bridesmaid for the other party."

"Oh, I'm afraid you two will be the first to get there." Dong Yue rolled her eyes, "Anyway, you are sure that you can't wait to get married as soon as you graduate from college, right?"

"Who said that?" Liu Huaxing retorted immediately, and Yang Xiaoxiao, who was next to her, narrowed her eyes, but Liu Huaxing then added, "It is possible to get married before graduating from university, as long as you are of legal age." gone."

"Hmph, smelly." Yang Xiaoxiao poked his face and smiled, "Then you have to agree with me."
