She is my childhood sweetheart, how could I not understand her?

Chapter 390, Live Stream 390?

"You mean, you want to change direction? Isn't that too risky?"

It's no wonder Lao Ju had such thoughts. After all, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that [Chuxin STUDIO] is the shining light of domestic single-player games. If Chen Shen wanted to, he could even live off this name for the rest of his life.

While it's good that young people are energetic, who would turn down money?

To pursue one's dreams, one makes a resolute choice.
Halfway through her thought, Wang Laoju froze.

Because he suddenly remembered Chen Shen's studio and its name.

Initial heart
He looked surprised: "So your studio is called 'Original Intention' because..."

"Yes, making small-scale single-player games is just a trial. Once the funding and capabilities are in place, I certainly want to make larger-scale single-player games, or even more."

The elevator doors opened in front of Chen Shen, who looked at the closed apartment door in front of him and spoke softly.

"Domestic 3A".

3A is a designation used to describe the quality level of a game.

There isn't a definitive answer to the term "3A," but what the industry generally agrees on is high-quality, high-investment, and highly industrialized large-scale single-player games.

Currently, there are no such games in China. Chen Shen has inquired and found that, not only now, but even in the next few years, there probably won't be any.

But as a seasoned game enthusiast, who wouldn't want to play a large-scale AAA game made by their own countrymen, full of Chinese style?

If a few years ago Chen Shen was merely complaining and blaming others, criticizing the ugly behavior of major domestic companies, now Chen Shen can only sigh deeply.

Large companies are different from studios like theirs. They are full of factions and have a complex mix of people. When a large project is established, hundreds of employees are involved.

Before domestically produced games gain market recognition, almost no major company is willing to gamble millions or even tens of millions of dollars.

Moreover, with the rise of mobile games, the same amount of money spent on mobile games can generate profits several times, or even dozens or hundreds of times, more.

Could it be released into the single-player market?
Leaving aside whether proud single-player gamers will buy it, the time cost alone is already giving those big companies a headache.

If Chen Shen were the boss of a large company, he certainly wouldn't want to do something so risky. So, the only ones who could do this are small studios like Chen Shen's.

But here's the question: how many studios like theirs are as lucky as they are?

Large-scale 3A games require astronomical amounts of investment. Which small studio can come up with that much money all at once?
It's simply a matter of finding investors, but if the funds come from others, you'll have much less say.

In other words, in the entire country, the only ones who are not subject to external constraints and do not have financial pressure are probably [Chuxin STUDIO].

Since that's the case, why not let him be the first one to do it!
Young people, if you're not hot-blooded, what kind of young people are you?

The words "domestic 3A" hit Liu Yujie and Wang Laoju hard. If it were before, Liu Yujie would have criticized Chen Shen for being too ambitious.

Now, knowing he can't convince Chen Shen, Liu Yujie can only answer with four words.

"Just do it!"

This is also the answer from the second-in-command of [Chuxin STUDIO].

Finally, Wang Laoju stepped out of the elevator and silently looked at the two young figures in front of her, letting out a long sigh.

He didn't say anything, but simply followed the two of them to the apartment door and watched Chen Shen open it.

"Ah! Here it comes~"

The sound of the door opening was naturally heard by the four girls inside the apartment. Xu Suiyou immediately sprang to the air, not even wearing indoor slippers, only a pair of white socks, and ran to the door to take the takeout bag from Chen Shen's hand.

Chen Shen handed over two relatively light bags, then muttered speechlessly, "How much did you order?"

"Hehe~ These are all your favorite foods."

"Come on, I can smell the garlic."

"Do you have a dog's nose? How could you smell that?" Zheng Feiyang, who had come closer, asked incredulously, her beautiful eyes wide. "Of course I could smell something this strong."

"What, you don't eat garlic?" Wang Laoju asked in confusion.

Before Chen Shen could answer, Xu Suiyou complained, "He's so picky. He won't eat scallions, garlic, or onions. I'm always so worried when I eat with him."

"Hey! I didn't stop you from eating it, even though I don't want to."

"If I order it all by myself, I won't be able to finish it!"

"You have a small appetite, and you're blaming me for it?"

"Hmph!!" Xu Suiyou used a loud hum to signal the end of this casual conversation.

While the girls were preparing takeout, Chen Shen also took Lao Ju for a short walk around the house.

"By the way, do you have a place to stay tonight?"

"We've booked a hotel; we'll head over this afternoon."

"Why don't you stay with us? We can play games together tonight."

"That's too much trouble, and we've already made our reservations."

"Ah, I cancelled it!" Mianmian, who was helping to get the takeout, suddenly spoke up.

Old Ju was taken aback.

"Return?"

"Well, you guys will definitely have more to talk about tonight, and there's nothing to do back at the hotel, so I'll just cancel the reservation."

An undisguised smile appeared on Lao Ju's face, which made the girls laugh continuously.

Wang Laoju realized he was being a little too obvious with his happiness, so he quickly coughed, then turned to look at Chen Shen, his eyes lighting up: "Then can I do a live stream at your studio tonight?"

Chen Shen was taken aback when Lao Ju made such a suggestion. He paused for a moment and couldn't help but exclaim, "You content creators really know how to come up with something!"

"Haha, when are you planning to release the new version?"

"What, you want to stream the new character?"

"It's up to you guys. If you don't mind, I can broadcast it."

The people in the studio looked at each other, and finally their eyes focused on Chen Shen.

It's very simple. Chen Shen is the boss, and Chen Shen makes the decision.

Feeling the pressure mounting, Chen Shen thought for a moment and finally shook his head.

"Let's not release a new version. We won't be updating the official version anytime soon. There are still many things that need to be optimized and improved for the new character. It's not good to reveal it too early. But you can try playing some mods."

The game has been released for a month, and some talented developers have already created a ton of mods to fit the gameplay.

Well, since it's only been released for a month, there aren't any large-scale mods available yet.

After all, for an early access game, developing large-scale mods would have to wait until the game version is stable.

With their current practice of updating the version every three to five days, even the largest mods will eventually become invalid.

Even so, the existence of mods greatly enhances the game's replayability.

Even Chen Shen, the producer, occasionally goes to the Steam Workshop to find some highly rated mods to play.
