I play games in Zongman World

Yi Chen smiled and nodded, "Well, I'm an international student from Huaxia, and I'm currently a sophomore in Toyosaki Academy."

A sophomore in high school, an international student, independently developed the game by himself, and sold 10,000+ copies within a week of release.

Everyone froze one by one.

Seeing that these beauties of different ages all had the same expressions, Yi Chen also thought it was a bit amusing, but he still said: "Well, my suggestion, what do you guys think? If you think the time and place are not suitable, we can talk about it later." Make an appointment in a few days and have a good chat."

Hearing Yi Chen's words, the girls all focused their eyes on the gray-haired woman.

The gray-haired woman pushed her glasses, quickly made a decision, took out her mobile phone and said, "Okay, brother, let's exchange contact information first. I'm Shizuku Hazuki, the production director of the studio. Please give me your advice."

"Please advise"

Yi Chen also directly exchanged contact information with the other party, and then left together with Xiazhiqiu Shiyu.There are still employees coming out later, it is estimated that they still have a lot of things to deal with.

Chapter 39 candidates, and the next plan

Leaving the company building where the flying eagle was leaping, after walking a certain distance, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu said: "Mr. Yichen, do you want to draw those people to your studio?"

"Yes."

Yi Chen nodded and said, "I have played the games developed by this company. Although they are not the kind of big-budget games, and the painting style is more fantasy and cute, but the art strength is very good. What I lack is the art ability. Among these people, especially that Iori Yagami, I remember some game news said that in the past few years, big companies have been trying to poach corners. He is a very powerful artist. The character design of Fairy Tale 3 is all She's in charge."

"So that's the case. I thought you just saw these people looking beautiful."

"That's not enough. As long as I have the ability, even if they are all middle-aged fat house uncles, I can recruit them."

"Forget it then." Xiazhiqiu Shiyu directly vetoed, "That kind of scene is really terrible. For the sake of mental state at work, I don't think we should hire such people."

When saying this, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu unconsciously regarded himself as a member of Yichen's studio.

Or, the proprietress is more suitable?

Yi Chen smiled irrefutably: "Anyway, now there are candidates, what I have to do is to try my best to attract some outstanding talents to come over."

Soon, when they arrived at the bus station, a car happened to be coming, and the two of them got on the car directly.

Just 2 minutes after she sat down, Shizuku Hazuki, who had added her contact information just now, sent a message.

Ye Yueshizuku: "Mr. Yichen, I told everyone about you, some of them plan to change jobs, and some of them plan to go to those big companies to try, but the few people you met just now, and a few others , but I intend to get in touch with you, I wonder when you will have time?"

Would you like to get in touch?

Looking at the news on the phone, although not all of them, Yi Chen still showed a satisfied smile.

The people I met before seemed to be from the art field, and they happened to be the people Yi Chen needed.

Therefore, Yi Chen directly edited the message and replied.

Yi Chen: "The day after tomorrow, I'll set a time and place for everyone to meet and chat. Tomorrow, everyone can deal with the matters at hand. I plan to use tomorrow's time to come up with some ideas about new games. I think this way, people should be more willing to join my team.”

On the other side, Ye Yueshizuku was with Yagami Guang and two other friends. After seeing Yi Chen's news, Ye Yueshizuku said with a smile: "It seems that it is much more reliable than I imagined. You can try it." Let’s get in touch, what do you think?”

Yagami nodded: "Yes, since he was indeed the one who made the Killing Spire, there is no problem in terms of strength. After the success of the initial work, it is impossible for such a person to stagnate and start his own job. The room is expected. Although the scale may not be comparable to that of Feiying Leaping, I still want to try it."

After Yagami finished speaking, a gentle woman with short hair beside him said: "Since Xiaoguang wants to try, of course I have no problem, let's get in touch first."

Another woman with long hair, dark skin, and an indifferent expression said: "I can also go to contact him, but I haven't found a home yet."

"Okay, Hai Zi, you also agree, so as long as the contact goes well, you can continue to work together!"

Hazuki Shizuku clapped her hands happily.

Haizi looked at Ye Yueshizuku and said, "Ye Yue, what about you?"

"My word..."

Ye Yueshizuku nodded her chin, squinted her eyes and said, "I plan to take a rest first, and go back to spend time with my family or something. I am also very interested in Yi Chen's studio. As long as there are no major problems, I will definitely talk to you later. You meet."

"That's good."

Haizi nodded, no more questions.

Turning their eyes back to Yi Chen, the two returned to the apartment building by car and went home separately.

After Yi Chen took a shower, he sat directly in front of the computer and recreated two folders.

Hollow Knight Hollow Knight

"Dead Cells"

This is the two games that Yichen intends to develop in the future, or one of them.One is a 2D style action game similar to Galaxy Castlevania, and the other is a pixel style action game that combines two elements of Galaxy Castlevania and roguelike.

These two are high-quality games that Yi Chen likes very much. The production scale is small and the style is unique. They are very suitable for the next new studio to grind and practice.

No, if the next negotiation goes well, those people are very familiar with each other, and can enter the development state faster.

Stretching his neck a bit, because he will be able to have his own studio in the future, Yi Chen feels full of motivation all over his body.

After connecting the digital board and preparing to start work, Yi Chen suddenly thought of something.

"If the studio is established, how will the working place be arranged? The original company site of Feiyingyuedong is definitely useless, and it is impossible for me to recruit all the people in that company. There is no need to use such a large place, but My house is obviously not suitable."

After embracing his hands and thinking for a while, Yi Chen still took out his mobile phone and dialed his father's number.

At this time, Yi Chen's father had already returned home, and he had just finished his dinner, when he saw his son's call, he answered it directly: "Xiao Chen, why are you calling all of a sudden?"

"Well, Dad, I mainly want to talk to you and ask you for help."

"En?" Yi Chen's father became curious, sat up straight and said, "Tell me what it is?"

Yi Chen's mother, who was sitting next to her, also heard it, and signaled her husband to turn on the speakerphone.

After opening it, Yi Chen's voice came out.

"It's like this. In addition to going to school these days, I also developed a game. It was released at the end of April and sold well. Now I plan to set up a studio, but the office location has not yet been determined."

"Developing a game? Studio?"

Yi Chen's father was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood, "This should be the thing you kept secret before, right?"

"That's right, I originally planned to wait for the game to go on sale for a full month, and then let you see the results. But something happened in the evening, and the establishment of the studio may be brought forward."

Next, Yichen told his father about meeting several employees of Feiying Yuedong.

"That's it, because it's really a coincidence that I met the talent I need. As long as the negotiation goes well, I plan to set up the studio directly. But in that case, there is only one office space left, and I can't put it in at home?"

After sorting out the ins and outs of the matter, Yi Chen's father was not angry because his son secretly developed the game, but instead asked curiously: "How is your game selling now?"

Chapter 40 Dad's Support

"It was released at the end of April. When it was released, I found some domestic and foreign anchors to help me promote it. In addition, the quality of the game is also good. Now it has sold almost 15 copies."

"15 copies, how much did you sell this game for?"

Yi Chen replied directly: "Because it hasn't been fully developed yet, the version on the shelves is the early access version. I set the price in the national area at 50 yuan, and the other low-priced areas are slightly lower, and the high-priced areas are correspondingly higher. When it is updated to the official version, I will slightly adjust the price, and it will be around 65 yuan in the country.”

Then, Yi Chen heard his father muttering to himself.

"It's calculated as 50 yuan per copy, 15 copies, a total of... tax deduction and share..."

After a pause, Yi Chen's father took a deep breath, "You boy, you are quite capable!"

Hearing his father's praise, Yi Chen said with a smile: "It's not bad, so-so."

"Tsk tsk, you're just so-so?" Yichen's father said with a smile, "I know that you like playing games since you were a child, so I know something about our domestic game industry. Your achievements are still on your own. It was developed by someone else, it’s absolutely amazing, and the release date hasn’t arrived a month yet, but Xiaochen.”

Hearing his father calling him, Yi Chen knew that it was time to get to the point.

"I agree with the matter of the studio. You don't have to worry about your mother's opinion on this matter. I'll let you make the decision." After gesturing to his wife who wanted to talk, Yichen's father continued, "But since If you want to do it, then do your best for me, you can't give up halfway, and you can't let go of academic matters, you must continue to maintain your grades, is there a problem?"

Hearing his father's words, Yi Chen said without hesitation: "No problem! I guarantee that every time I take the exam, I will be in the top three in the grade."

As for not killing the first grader with one bite, the main reason is that Xiazhiqiu Shiyu is also very strong. If the other party explodes or something, he may still be overtaken by her.

Apparently, Yichen's father didn't force Yichen to take the first place in his grade, all he wanted was an attitude.He nodded and said, "Okay, you actually agreed, so you have to do it well. How many people are you planning to recruit in your studio?"

Yi Chen made a guess and said, "There should be seven or eight at present."

"Seven or eight..." Yichen's father immediately thought of a way, "When I was looking for a house for you, I was looking for my friend in Japan. The apartment building you live in has not been built for a long time, so it should be still there. There is an apartment available. I will call him later and ask him to contact you. If there are eight people, plus the nature of the game development work, try to see if there are two adjacent apartments. If you don’t have one here, just Find a nearby one, buy it and get through directly.”

Good guy, Yi Chen originally planned to rent it, but Dad planned to buy two houses directly?This directly saves me a lot of expenses.

Yi Chen said happily, "Thank you, Dad!"

"No, just treat it as my support for you, keep working hard. By the way, send me the name of your game, and I'll take a look."

After saying a few words, Yichen's father hung up the phone.

After the phone call, Yi Chen's mother looked at her husband: "Is that why you agreed?"

"Otherwise, my son is doing so well, of course I have to support it." As he said that, a link sent by Yi Chen was uploaded on his phone, and then he took his wife to the study at home, turned on the computer, and clicked on it. Link to the store page about Slaying the Spire in Steam.

After looking at the number of comments and content on the store page, he used his browser to search for related game news, and found that they all praised Slaying the Spire.

With a satisfied smile, Yichen's father looked at his wife: "Now you should feel relieved, right?"

After watching the whole process, what else can Yi Chen's mother do?

"Okay, let him try it first, as long as it doesn't affect his studies, it will be very helpful for his future."

There was no problem with his wife, so Yichen's father started to contact his friend in Japan.

Soon, Yi Chen received a call, saying that his location on the third floor downstairs happened to be a house for sale recently, and the house next door was also empty, which met the requirements.

After chatting with the other party for a while, after making a tentative decision, Yi Chen plans to let his father buy it directly after the negotiation is over the day after tomorrow.

Ah, by the way, if it is done, do we have to formally register and establish a company?After all, people have to be paid.

Thinking of this, Yi Chen consulted with his father's friend again, and the other party immediately agreed to help him with the relevant company qualification registration tomorrow.

Now, Yi Chen was completely relieved. After thanking him, he hung up the phone and started to work seriously.

At noon the next day, the doorbell of Yi Chen's house rang.

After waking up, Yi Chen, who had been immersed in his work, heard the doorbell, went to open the door, and then saw Kasumigaoka Shiyu standing at the door holding a bento box.

Seeing Yichen's messy hair, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu couldn't help but said, "You haven't woken up yet, have you?"

"That's not true. I simply washed my face after getting up, but didn't wash my hair. It's too troublesome."

Scratching his hair, Yi Chen stepped aside and let Xiazhiqiu Shiyu in, "Why are you here?"

"Come and see, didn't you say you were busy with the new game yesterday? I think you may not have time to eat, so I asked my mother to prepare something for you."

Looking at the box in Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's hand, Yi Chen said gratefully: "Thank you, I really haven't made lunch yet, I planned to order takeaway directly."

"That's right, just eat it."

Putting the food on the dining table, Kasumigaoka Shiyu opened it and said, "I thought that if you were ready at noon, I would let you eat it at night."

In the bento box, besides the rice, there are also several delicate dishes, which are neatly arranged.

Rubbing his belly, Yi Chen had been concentrating on his work before, and now he really felt a little hungry, and said with a smile: "It's too much trouble, auntie."

"It's okay, you helped me a lot yesterday, didn't you?"

Yi Chen didn't say anything more, nodded, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat with big mouthfuls.

Seeing Yi Chen eating anxiously, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu asked: "Is the time of the day very tense?"

"It's okay. There are mainly two game ideas. I plan to come up with a preliminary plan for both, including gameplay, a series of art, character settings, etc., so it will be more complicated."

Swallowing a piece of chicken chop, Yi Chen's expression became focused when he talked about the game, "Those people are all professionals who have at least worked in the game industry and developed a complete game. A thousand preparations will do."

Listening to Yi Chen's words, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu also showed a smile on his face.

Chapter 41 The Day of the Negotiation

After finishing lunch quickly, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu didn't let Yi Chen wash the dishes, and took the bento box back.

Then just went back 2 minutes, came again.

When he came here this time, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu brought his laptop, and it seemed that he wanted to type on his side.

In view of the similar situation the day before, Yi Chen didn't refuse, and let Xiazhiqiu Shiyu in directly.

When he came to Yi Chen's bedroom, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu saw that the wall in front of his computer desk was covered with various kinds of drawing paper, on which were characters that he had never seen before, and they were not human at first glance. And it's a completely different style of painting from Slaying the Spire.

"Are these characters from the new game?"

"That's right, it's a new game." After sitting down, Yi Chen took off a piece of drawing paper on the wall and said, "What does it look like?"

"Yeah~~~"

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu came over to observe it, and guessed, "Insects? Those two horns on the head, stag beetles?"

"It is indeed a bit similar, but the setting in the game is not an insect. This setting involves the worldview structure of the entire game."
