Starting with Genshin Impact, the whole world is going crazy for it.

Zhou Tiankuo immediately sat up.

He got up so late today, he doesn't plan to go to the experience center anymore.

I greeted those people in the work group and then sat down in front of my computer.

His work plan for today is to promote Dungeon Fighter Online and find a suitable place to use as a studio.

With the release date of the next game not far off, it also means that the recruitment and other matters that have been ongoing need to be resolved.

To date, Zhou Tiankuo has hired nine game designers.

Six of them have some experience and background in this industry, and several of them are quite outstanding.

How excellent are they?

They have their own designed and released games. Although the data performance may not be very good, Zhou Tiankuo has seen the games and they are generally quite good.

Even Zhou Tiankuo felt inferior to him.

That's the truth. If you put his real talents into the real world, he probably wouldn't be considered a game designer.

But he's different today than when he first came into this world; after all, he's spent a lot of time studying game design skills...

But he still felt that the game designers he recruited were all better than him.

The other three are recent graduates who are already in a rush to find jobs before their summer vacation is even over.

Zhou Tiankuo was drawn to their vision and expectations for the industry.

Moreover, after establishing a physical studio, he has a lot of plans to implement and many small things to do.

These small tasks shouldn't be left to experienced game designers, otherwise it will cause dissatisfaction.

Therefore, it is still necessary to find some younger graduates.

Zhou Tiankuo stretched and organized his recruitment forms.

There are 9 game designers, but their specific roles haven't been assigned yet, such as overall architecture, numerical design, or creative aspects...

Zhou Tiankuo, however, was not in a hurry.

However, these nine people were distinguished from copywriters, graphic designers, etc. Zhou Tiankuo hired three copywriters and two graphic designers.

Actually, he didn't know why he had recruited so many people when he didn't even have a game project yet, but he thought it couldn't be wrong.

And it won't arouse suspicion from others.

In short, Zhou Tiankuo sifted through job postings and other information in this world, eventually creating a company of considerable size.

After finishing the job, Zhou Tiankuo breathed a sigh of relief.

The next step is to rent office space, set up necessary office equipment, and so on...

Once everything is in place, these people can come to work.

Then we can simply say that we've set up a new branch, so everything is starting from scratch.

Zhou Tiankuo had planned everything and opened the game on his desktop.

Dungeon Fighter Online was not originally part of his plan.

It was Zhou Tiankuo who suddenly thought of it later.

He suddenly realized that he had already released one of each type of game, and the next step was to fill in the gaps, segment the market, and create even better games in the same genre.

The only game missing from these selections is a side-scrolling fighting game.

Dungeon Fighter Online is the best choice.

Zhou Tiankuo opened the game to check if there were any parts he had missed.

Although he had the system generate the game some time ago, Zhou Tiankuo later tried to restore the code himself because of the system's daily intimidation.

There are already data packets and other things available, so he has very little to do.

Overall, it's still in easy mode, but Zhou Tiankuo feels more at ease.

But Zhou Tiankuo suddenly thought of something else.

Dungeon Fighter Online... is actually quite pay-to-win.

At least in his previous world, he had seen many whales (players who spend a lot of money on in-game purchases).

That was truly terrifying.

A single game can cost tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The equipment he was wearing could dazzle another person.

Zhou Tiankuo has also met many wealthy women who wear beautiful costumes in DNF and have frighteningly high combat power.

But what he needs to consider now is whether creating such a pay-to-win game in this world will cause controversy among players.

Although almost all of his currently released games have the option of in-app purchases.

However, no other game portrays the idea that "spending money makes you stronger" as vividly as Dungeon Fighter Online.

Zhou Tiankuo opened the numerical settings.

Chapter 135 Internet Cafe Cooperation: New Ideas

Zhou Tiankuo didn't dwell on it for long before reaching a conclusion.

Making games is definitely about making money.

The games released previously performed very well in terms of revenue, but Zhou Tiankuo himself did not actually calculate the profits strictly.

Because she bought a big house shortly after arriving in this world by releasing games, and her house was also equipped with a whole set of related gaming equipment.

He even had enough supplies stored at home to last him for a year or two.

Zhou Tiankuo doesn't have any other hobbies, and there aren't many pay-to-win games he can play in this world.

A lot of money was saved.

In terms of making money and enjoying life, Zhou Tiankuo doesn't need to work hard.

But now, he has to start thinking about making a profit.

Because he is now opening a physical studio, which is almost the size of a company.

Although he currently has savings, he still has to consider renting office space, buying new office equipment, and paying employee salaries, etc...

Zhou Tiankuo had already sensed that life would be difficult.

Fortunately, there are policy reductions and exemptions for companies and studios involved in game development in this world, which alleviated Zhou Tiankuo's anxiety to some extent.

In the end, Zhou Tiankuo concluded: "Then let's leave it as is, without changing anything."

He closed the game again.

I'm not in the mood for games right now; there's just too much work to deal with.

Furthermore, you can't just do a live stream and ask players for their opinions on spending money on in-game purchases.

When a manufacturer approached him for a collaboration, he did a live stream to interact with players, which showed that he respected their opinions.

Moreover, the cooperation itself is optional.

According to Zhou Tiankuo's estimate, even if he collaborates to produce co-branded equipment, the profits it brings him will not be much.

But DNF...

If some game values ​​are changed, affecting in-game purchases, it will result in a significant loss of revenue in the long run.

Zhou Tiankuo shrugged.

He has confidence in this game.

Otherwise, why would so many big spenders in the past be willing to pour money into DNF?

After putting his mind to it, Zhou Tiankuo immediately set about creating the game trailer.

He first carefully recalled the trailers he had seen before.

If the first option appears, it will become his first choice.

The reason is simple: Zhou Tiankuo believes he is just an ordinary player, and what moves him must also move most players.

However, he found that his impression of all the promotional materials and trailers for the game was very vague.

The only thing I can remember and that left a deep impression is the promotional CG for the 10th anniversary of DNF!

That CG was incredibly exciting, and it was a promotional video for all classes, with the narration having an epic and grand feel.

Zhou Tiankuo thought back carefully.

Now all I can recall are some keywords from that female voice.

Terra.

Magician.

Herder.

Greenwich...

Beautiful images appeared in his mind.

Zhou Tiankuo opened his eyes. "I've decided on you."

The version of the game he created is already 10 years after its release, so there's no problem using this promotional video featuring all the classes.

Just as Zhou Tiankuo was about to search the system for the data needed for the promotional video, the phone rang.

It was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello?" Zhou Tiankuo answered, "Who are you?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone: "Boss, this is Zhang Lulu."

Zhou Tiankuo was taken aback. "I'm sorry, I don't have your phone numbers saved."

"It's okay. I just found out from Sister Xia Tian. I called to tell you that two internet cafe owners came to the store just now."

Xia Tian, ​​who is in charge of administration, is not here today, so Zhang Lulu should be in charge of everything.
