Full-time master

Chapter 277 Little Studio

Meng Xiangyu's current job is game design and planning.

He's been in this business for ten years, but the game industry really started five years ago.

Meng Xiangyu has participated in the production of many domestic large-scale online games, and Meng Xiangyu's shadow can almost be seen in many online games with the background of Xianxia.

He is the person in charge of design and planning in the game development team, and is the core of game development.

The main job is to write the background story of the game, formulate the rules of the game, design the interactive links of the game, calculate the game formula, and all the details of the entire game world.

Now Meng Xiangyu has been promoted to the director of game planning. Although he has been promoted and his salary has been raised, he feels that he is not as happy as before.

The current online games are all plagiarism, imitation, cheating, and krypton gold. Although the game industry is getting more and more developed, the quality has declined a bit!

Game players no longer pay attention to the background and plot of the game, they only like the exquisite appearance of characters and beautiful scenery textures.

Compared to fighting monsters and upgrading, they prefer to farm and chat in the game, showing off the fashion skin and weapon appearance they just bought with a lot of money.

Meng Xiangyu is married and has a child. He is not satisfied with the status quo. He didn't choose this career for money, but he wanted to make a game that attracted the attention of the world!

But it has been a long time since he has stayed up all night and worked overtime all night. Every day he goes to work and sits in the office, reads the newspaper, drinks tea, sends emails and chats, and the whole day goes by like this.

But Meng Xiangyu was not reconciled to being so lazy, so he and a few like-minded friends he made in the forum made some small games that were not for profit.

These small games are "defective products", but they are well received by forum members.

Because these whim trials have very detailed and logical plots, and some even have a certain literary quality and depth of thought.

Meng Xiangyu and these friends set up a "small studio". These friends also belong to the game circle, some are original artists, some are 3D scene artists, some are game special effects artists, and game programmers, testers, operators Officer wait.

Everyone had nothing to do, and then collided with sparks, and immediately started making games.

But because everyone still has their own jobs in reality, the production cycle of the game is very long, and it usually takes three to five months to make a small game.

Many members of the forum suggested that Meng Xiangyu and others make the small studio bigger, not just within the forum.

Meng Xiangyu had also been tempted and wanted to get out of his comfort zone.

Other members of the small studio have also discussed this matter.

But in reality, everyone comes from all over the world. Although they have relatively mature technology, they only have technology.

The development and research of a game, as well as the subsequent operation and promotion, cannot be done with technology alone.

It is precisely because they live in the game circle that they know how difficult and complicated it is.

The living environment of independent games is very poor now, especially in China, almost no one will buy genuine games!
And if they want to develop large-scale online games, they need a lot of time and money.

They have time, but they don't have money.

As time goes by, everyone will bury this proposal in the bottom of their hearts, if there is a chance in the future.
Meng Xiangyu knew that he would not have this kind of opportunity in the future. He is now 35 years old and will be on his fourth year in a few years.

The blood and impulse he still has left will completely disappear when he is 40 years old.

But on November 2011, 11.

Meng Xiangyu's life has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The original reason was that he received a private message on the forum saying that a boss wanted to chat with him.

Meng Xiangyu has encountered many situations of poaching, but he has rejected them all.

He's fine here.

Great salary, free time.

Moreover, he is one of the few veteran employees with more than ten years of experience.

When Meng Xiangyu tapped on the keyboard and replied politely, the other party sent another private message.

[Do you know Riot Games? ]
If someone asks what Riot Games is in this era, most people may not know or have never heard of it, but Meng Xiangyu definitely knows!
[Fist Company? "League of Legends"? ]
[right!Are you interested? ]
Meng Xiangyu was a little confused when asked this sentence.

Interested?

What interest do you mean?
This question is a bit silly!

[Can you be more specific? ]
[I have been following you and Xiaoxiao Studio on the forum, I think you should not waste your talents. ]
Meng Xiangyu was puzzled, and the other party's answer was not what the question asked.

[What does this have to do with Riot? ]
[Riot Inc was acquired by us. ]
[Are you Company Penguin? ]
[No, I am Zhaozai Network Technology Co., Ltd., headquartered in Wucheng. ]
Not Penguin?

Isn't League of Legends now run by Penguin?
Meng Xiangyu became more and more curious.

[So why are you looking for me? ]
[As I said just now, I admire you very much, so I want to recruit all the members of your small studio. ]
Meng Xiangyu had already guessed this, but he didn't understand one thing.

[You already have such a powerful company, what's the point of recruiting us?Although it is undeniable that the members of the small studio are also elite personnel in various positions, we are definitely no match for Riot. ]
[How do you know that you are not as good as Riot?who told you ]
Meng Xiangyu was dumbfounded, he really didn't understand the other party's purpose.

It needs to be told by others, doesn't he know how many catties he has?

[Let's talk about things directly, don't go around. ]
[Didn't I just say I want to recruit you in the last sentence? ]
Meng Xiangyu wiped his face, he found himself completely caught in the rhythm of the other party's conversation.

[Then let's make it clear, what do you want our little studio to do? ]
[I want you to be responsible for the operation and promotion of "League of Legends". ]
Is Meng Xiangyu really confused this time?

Let the small studio operate and promote "League of Legends"! ?

Meng Xiangyu began to doubt whether Zhaozai Network Technology Company really existed.

[are you crazy? ]
[How about this, you first contact other members of the small studio, and then we will have a video conference at night, and I will prove to you that everything I just said is true. ]
Meng Xiangyu looked at this private message, hesitated for a moment, and then tapped the keyboard a few times.

[Can. ]
