Top game producer

Today is a significant day for the newly established Dragon Abyss Studio.

Several brand-new, dazzlingly cool, azure-blue computers have been added to the studio's desks.

"Sir, the six Blue Star L72 computers you purchased have been fully debugged. Please sign the order form. If you encounter any problems during use, please feel free to contact our after-sales service," a Blue Star employee said respectfully, handing over the order.

After confirming that everything was correct, Wang Jian quickly signed his name on the order: "Thank you for your trouble."

"Thank you for your purchase. Your support is the greatest motivation for Blue Star Technology."

After the staff left, Wang Jian patted the newly arrived Blue Star computer, feeling quite emotional.

When he first took over the studio, there were only a few tables and chairs.

Because of a lack of funds, he and Luo Shuai used their own laptops when developing 'Devil King'.

It was laughable that a game studio didn't even have computers and had to make do with personal ones.

Fortunately, the system was powerful, and 'Devil King' performed well.

Today is the tenth day since 'Devil King' was released.

It has 320,000 downloads, ranking fourth on the new game chart, and the rating remains stable at a high score of 9.5.

So far, it has brought Wang Jian a revenue of 200,000.

Therefore, Wang Jian splurged this time, buying six Blue Star L72s at 20,000 each in one go.

But the configuration is worth the price.

A small episode occurred in the middle.

When Wang Jian wanted to withdraw the earnings of 'Devil King' from the platform, he found that settlements were made monthly, with all games settled at the end of each month.

Unable to withdraw the money, Wang Jian was immediately dumbfounded, as he hadn't even paid the studio's rent.

Before making the game, he had calculated everything, GG's revenue, player reactions, but he missed this point.

Wang Jian quickly contacted the platform's customer service, explained his situation, and hoped to get the revenue as soon as possible. The customer service reported this matter to the higher-ups. Considering Wang Jian's situation and the good popularity of 'Devil King', the platform made an exception.

In the end, it was a near miss.

Luo Shuai enthusiastically experienced the new computer: "Boss, it runs very smoothly! I just ran a program, and the speed is super fast. It feels much stronger than my old machine!"

Wang Jian casually replied, "It costs 20,000 per unit, it has to be good, otherwise I'll return it."

Currently, the studio still only has Wang Jian and Luo Shuai. Because the computers hadn't arrived yet, Wang Jian told Tong Ke and Ye Meng to come to work in a few days.

"Knock, knock," someone knocked on the door.

Wang Jian subconsciously thought it was someone coming to apply for a job and straightened up: "Please come in!"

A baby-faced person came in, waving his hand: "Hi, I'm just dropping by."

It turned out to be Huang Xing, the editor from the neighboring Flying Bird Reading, the cat slave of Cotton Candy.

Huang Xing met Luo Shuai for the first time and greeted him politely. Luo Shuai nodded and buried himself in the computer—he usually only communicates with his wife in the game, and doesn't know how to talk to unfamiliar real-life girls.

Huang Xing sat down and immediately noticed the exquisite Nai Xi figure on Wang Jian's desk, playfully winking: "You have good hobbies."

Wang Jian's face darkened: "It was a gift from a friend."

The figure produced by the system is quite conspicuous, it's hard not to notice it.

"Uh-huh, a gift from a friend." Huang Xing nodded with a mischievous smile.

She glanced around the studio, her eyes lingered on the several new Blue Stars, and she blinked: "Oh, it seems the game is doing well. Should I congratulate you?"

Wang Jian smiled: "Thank you, the results are indeed okay."

Currently, the top of the new game chart is still Unique's 'Ghost Castle', with 840,000 downloads and a rating of 8.8.

Second is 'Vector Conflict', with 530,000 downloads and a rating of 9.2.

Third is 'Electronic Mystery', with 400,000 downloads and a rating of 8.5.

Fifth is 'Xiao Ming Fell on the Road to Buying a Mobile Phone and Traveled to Another World to Become an Adventurer', with 250,000 downloads and a rating of 8.7.

Tomorrow, 'Ghost Castle' will be past its new game period and will disappear from the new game chart.

And 'Xiao Ming Buying a Mobile Phone', ranked fifth, is still 70,000 downloads away from 'Devil King', and it won't be able to catch up in a short time.

According to the current download growth trend, 'Devil King' will definitely be able to reach third place on the new game chart tomorrow.

Although 'Devil King' has a high number of downloads, it is a free game, and the revenue relies entirely on GG clicks. In reality, the revenue may not even be comparable to games ranked 100 on the new game chart.

However, 'Devil King' was made by Wang Jian and Luo Shuai in a few days. Other games have production costs that are unknown. Wang Jian is already very satisfied with the current revenue.

Huang Xing is not very clear about the download numbers on the charts. Through Wang Jian's introduction, she has a general idea.

She nodded blankly. In her opinion, it is quite impressive to achieve this kind of result in such a short time.

"So what are you planning to do for your next game?" Huang Xing asked curiously.

This scratched Wang Jian's itch, and he immediately became excited.

Good stories always make people want to share them.

Wang Jian already knows the plot of 'To the Moon' by heart and said eloquently: "Next, I plan to make a story-oriented RPG game called 'To the Moon'. It roughly tells the following story..."

Wang Jian only told the general outline of the game, and Huang Xing still listened with tears in her eyes.

Although she is already 24 years old and an old aunt, she still has a sentimental girlish heart.

If she didn't have so much drama in her heart, she wouldn't have liked writing so much in the first place.

Huang Xing suddenly put her hands together, stared at Wang Jian with unwavering eyes, and sincerely pleaded: "When this game is finished, you must let me play it first! Okay!"

It can be seen that she really likes this story.

Wang Jian agreed generously: "No problem!"

...

A certain apartment in Huozhou.

A young man with fiery red hair lay on the bed in a sprawling position, looking at the white ceiling, looking unhappy.

It is Baili Ao, nicknamed the Gun God of Red Flag Elementary School, who has been studying game development for two and a half years.

'Jack's Adventure' has been on the shelves for ten days, with only five thousand downloads, ranking 240 on the new game chart.

And only 435 players are willing to spend 12 yuan to unlock the subsequent content.

Baili Ao originally had high confidence and expectations for 'Jack's Adventure', believing that he could reach the top twenty on the new game chart, or even higher.

As time passed day by day, Baili Ao's confidence was also being hit day by day.

His eyes were full of confusion.

Is my game not good enough? Am I really not suitable for making games?

In the two and a half years of studying game development, he devoted all his spare time to 'Jack's Adventure'. When other peers were having dinner parties, he was polishing the monster models; when other peers were dating, he was adjusting the attack and defense values.

It can be said that it is a work of effort, and in the end, it only achieved such results.

It is too far from the goal he expected, making him unable to avoid feeling lost and confused.

He also thought of 'Devil King' and couldn't help but sigh: "They are all peers, and both are first games, how can the gap be so big?"

He clicked on Wang Jian's Weibo and saw the recruitment message at the top, suddenly stunned, and then turned over.

He couldn't wait to call Jifeng: "Brother, I quit!"
