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

Chapter 394 He wanted to do that too, but he couldn't get a publishing license.
The imagined all-night gaming session didn't happen. Chen Shen, the last one to wash up, turned off the living room light, glanced at the closed guest room door, and then turned and went into the room.

Xu Suiyou wasn't asleep at this time either. Instead, she placed the tablet on her lap and leaned against the headboard watching a variety show.

Chen Shen leaned over and affectionately kissed the girl's pretty face, then was naturally pushed away by Xu Suiyou.

The girl blushed and glared at Chen Shen with a fierce expression.

"You better behave yourself today!"

If we were to name the most prominent characteristic of young people, it would undoubtedly be their boundless energy.

Chen Shen happened to be at the peak of his energy during this period.

Every night is sweet for young couples, but sometimes even with boundless energy, they can't afford to be reckless.

Just like now.

Of course, Chen Shen chose to put on an innocent expression in response to his girlfriend's warning.

Even if he were in the mood, he certainly wouldn't go so far as to lay a hand on his daughter, Sui Sui, when there were guests at home.

What is this woman thinking?!
"You're just overthinking things and then trying to pin the blame on me, aren't you?"

"Pah! You're the one who's thinking about it."

"I really didn't, I just wanted to kiss you."

Xu Suiyou continued to glare angrily at Chen Shen, which was usually how Chen Shen started his conversation!

Knowing that his words sounded a bit strange, Chen Shen grinned shamelessly, then lay down next to Sui Sui and stretched his arms to yawn.

"Hmm~"

"Sleepy?"

"No, we're usually busy at this time."

"Didn't you say things weren't as busy as they were a while ago? Why are you still pulling all-nighters?"

Throughout October, Chen Shen and his team were extremely busy, only taking a break in the last few days.

November was more relaxed. Although Sui Sui didn't know much about the process, she knew that Chen Shen and his team were currently in a stable development phase.

To be honest, the game maintenance was not what she had expected. Mihoyo, which she had invested in, had also launched the game that had been in development for a long time at the end of October, and the results were equally explosive. The cost of maintaining and operating the game alone was a terrifying figure.

Unlike Chen Shen and his team, who worked hard for a month and have now settled down.

Oh, by the way, that new game called "Honkai Impact 3" is doing so well that it has exceeded Xu Suiyou's expectations.

It's only been less than 20 days since the game launched, but its revenue is comparable to the first month's revenue of Chen Shen's new game.

It's only been 20 days!

Moreover, the operation model of mobile games is different from that of single-player games developed by Chen Shen and his team.

Thinking of this, Xu Suiyou put the tablet away, lay down, and snuggled into her boyfriend's arms.

There's no heating yet, and the air conditioner is on in the room, but the hot air mostly blows onto the bed, so it's still a little cold.

Around this time, Xu Suiyou usually likes to snuggle in Chen Shen's arms.

This guy's body temperature is much higher than hers, so it's very warm to lie here with him.

"Honey, are you still not planning to develop a mobile version of this game?"

"Us?" Chen Shen was somewhat surprised that Xu Suiyou would ask this question, but he still answered honestly, "We haven't considered it yet."

"Why? The new game is a card game, so it should be perfect for playing on a mobile phone."

"We can't get a publishing license, baby."

Xu Suiyou blinked her beautiful eyes, wondering why another term she didn't understand had popped up.

"Without this, we can't release our game on domestic platforms; it's very difficult to obtain." "But you're not on Steam."

"So now we have to let those damn Americans take a lot of money from us every month because that thing isn't a domestic platform and doesn't need a license number."

Chen Shen complained, while also explaining to Xu Suiyou, "Do you remember the Tengzi platform that I usually use to play League of Legends?"

To be honest, Xu Suiyou had no recollection of it, but she knew that if she said she had no recollection, Chen Shen would definitely have to explain a lot, so she simply nodded.

“If we have a game license, we can put the game on there and even lower the price because we don’t have to pay the Americans.”

"For Fujiko?"

"Giving Fujiko F. Inc. will definitely not be more than giving the Americans. The Americans want it, and Steam wants it too. In the end, I'll only get about 30%. But if there's a game license in China, I can get at least 50%."

"Wow~ So how about we find a way to get a publishing license?"

"It's very difficult. The approval process alone will probably take a long time. Games are time-sensitive, and hardware is being updated and iterated too quickly these days. If we get stuck with a game license for a year or two, by the time we get the license, our game may already be outdated."

After Chen Shen explained such a long string of words, Xu Suiyou also sighed.

How come her game can be played in the country?

No, I'll have to ask Chen Shen about it later.

"If you can get the game license, would you develop a mobile version?"

"Well, even if we can get it, we'll have to wait. After all, our game is only half-finished right now, and it's still a long way from being a complete version." Chen Shen raised his hand and pinched his girlfriend's smooth little face.

After washing up and taking good care of her skin, her face felt as smooth and delicate as a peeled egg, making Chen Shen love it so much.

Why are you suddenly asking me these questions?

"I asked Mianmian, and she said she plays mobile games more often."

"Mobile games, those things are really damn profitable."

Previously, Chen Shen only had a vague idea that mobile games could make money, but now that he understands the gaming industry, he understands why domestic manufacturers are now desperately developing mobile games.

The reason is simple: the platform is too big.

Chen Shen, a veteran gamer, is used to playing computer games because most games used to be playable only on computers.

What? The host computer?

Leaving aside the Little Tyrant game console from elementary school, after 2010, given the choice between an internet cafe costing 1 yuan for half an hour and a game arcade costing 4 yuan per hour, everyone would choose the internet cafe.

However, the rise of mobile games has changed the platform for playing games from computers to mobile phones, a device that almost everyone owns nowadays.

With a large platform and a large user base, money will naturally flow in.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't envious, but there was nothing he could do about it; the game license approval process was completely blocked.
Even though they are now hailed as "the pride of domestic products," they still have to go through all the usual procedures.

"Right? Jealous?"

Chen Shen pursed his lips, lay flat, and stretched out his arm to wrap around the girl's neck and shoulders, letting her rest her head on his arm.

"It's alright, I'm not that short of money now, I'm quite content."

"You think you have too much money?"

"No, no, no, I just don't want to take too big a step, or I might accidentally hurt myself!"

Xu Suiyou looked disgusted, but smiled and poked her man's strong arm with her finger.

"What a strange way of using metaphors."

"The words may be rough, but the principle is sound."
