Zhou Chen received a call from Su Jiajia and learned that they had already recruited a total of fourteen people. He felt that they could start their first game project.
Although the number of people was pitifully small, it was almost enough. He wasn't going to start with a large-scale game that required a lot of people for modeling and such. Since it was his first time making a game, it was naturally the simplest and most basic kind of game.
As for which mini-game to develop, Zhou Chen had already considered it.
His goal is to play Candy Crush.
Firstly, this game is relatively simple, especially the early match-3 puzzles, which even a small development team could handle, making it perfect for them.
Secondly, this game received widespread acclaim upon its release. He recalled that when the game was first released, it attracted a large number of players, and its lifespan was long enough that many people were still playing it ten years later, making it a true evergreen game.
From both a business perspective and a future development perspective, this game is the top choice right now.
Once we recruit more talent with their current experience, we can start working on that hit game.
That was a truly phenomenal game.
However, he currently lacks the resources to collaborate with that company; he needs to build a reputation before any collaboration becomes possible.
He's still too inexperienced and his skill level is too low.
"I will send it to your email tomorrow. I will mark the important parts, which must be included in the game."
Zhou Chen gave a brief explanation, then hung up the phone and began to recall all the information about Happy Match.
Write down everything from the various patterns in the match-3 puzzle game to the rules of the game.
Working until late at night, Zhou Chen yawned. Before he knew it, it was already past 1 a.m. Fortunately, he had thought of everything he could think of. Next, all he had to do was turn his words into a game.
The first thing Su Jiajia did after arriving at the company was to turn on her computer, log in to QQ, and check her email.
Sure enough, there was an email from Zhou Chen.
She was very curious about what game Zhou Chen was going to make. Soon, she clicked the mouse and her eyes fell on the Happy Match game project proposal.
After a while,
A hint of surprise flashed in Su Jiajia's eyes.
Although she didn't understand games, she could sense that the game Zhou Chen designed was quite interesting. It was similar to Rose Blocks, but also different, and seemed to be more fun.
However, she couldn't predict whether it would fetch a good price after it was made.
After all, she really didn't understand this thing.
“I can get a sense of things indirectly through new employees like Feng Tao. They are all professionals and should be able to give some feedback.”
We'll find out the truth when Feng Tao's team arrives.
After Su Jiajia printed out the project proposal, she put it in a folder. About ten minutes later, the new employees began to arrive at the company.
After everyone arrived,
Su Jiajia took out the game project proposal and handed it to Feng Tao. Feng Tao didn't expect to get a response today for the question he asked yesterday.
As he opened the folder, Feng Tao was quickly drawn to its contents.
"So, is it possible to make it?"
Su Jiajia kept observing Feng Tao, trying to glean something from his expression, but Feng Tao's demeanor made her unsure whether this game project had any future potential.
Feng Tao didn't answer immediately. After pondering for a few seconds, he said, "It's difficult because some of the requirements might take some time, but with so many of us working together, we should be able to manage."
Hearing that Feng Tao could do it, Su Jiajia was slightly relieved. "You don't need to worry about the expenses for making the game. The company will reimburse you normally. You just need to focus all your energy on the game, and leave the rest to me."
"President Su, since you put it that way, I suggest we buy some specialized equipment. Although it will be more expensive, it will greatly improve our speed."
"No problem, is there anything else you require?"
Zhou Chen wrote in his email that he would do his best to assist Feng Tao and the others in getting Kaixin under control as quickly as possible.
Feng Tao shook his head. With the help of professional equipment, they would be more efficient. The rest was up to them.
"Mr. Su, may I ask who designed this game? Is it the work of a professional game designer?"
Feng Tao finally couldn't hold back and asked the question that had been bothering him.
"Why do you want to know about this?" Su Jiajia asked calmly.
"This game design is very detailed and comprehensive, especially some of the elements that attract players. I think it's excellent. I don't think anyone other than a professional game designer could come up with so many ideas."
Feng Tao said that when he was in college, he took on game development projects, but they were much cruder than Candy Crush and far less refined.
Indeed, in Feng Tao's mind, Zhou Chen's Believe in the Game project was exquisite. Although it borrowed from Rose Blocks, it added a lot of innovation, which is something that cannot be seen in the current market.
Based on his intuition, he felt that if this game was made according to the project proposal, it would definitely have a chance to become a hit.
Su Jiajia was surprised by Feng Tao's high praise, calling Zhou Chen a professional game designer. However, she knew that Zhou Chen was someone who rarely went to internet cafes, and this was his first time designing a game.
Is this what genius is?
"This game wasn't designed by a game designer; it was designed by our boss himself."
Su Jiajia didn't hide anything and revealed that it was Zhou Chen's work. She had to admit that Zhou Chen was really capable to be recognized by these professionals.
Upon hearing that he wasn't a professional, Feng Tao and the others were all stunned. It was incredible that an outsider could design a game so well, accurately grasping everything from gameplay and game structure to various engaging elements.
"Boss is amazing, I admire him!"
"I hope to see the boss soon."
Several people were amazed by Zhou Chen, who acted as a hands-off manager and was rarely seen.
Su Jiajia remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was wondering how these people would react if she told them that her boss, Zhou Chen, was in high school. She was certain they would be even more shocked and unable to believe it.
However, she won't say that right now.
Zhou Chen said that he does not want to reveal his identity at the moment and wants to maintain a sense of mystery for the time being.
After he is admitted to Yenching University, he will meet with Feng Tao and others.
at the same time,
Before the first class started, Zhou Chen was suddenly called to the corridor by Lu Guoliang.
Lu Guoliang brought Zhou Chen some good news.
There was a national track and field competition, and the city wanted him to represent Fengcheng again in the competition.
oh?
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen's heart stirred; this was indeed a good thing for him.
