Chapter 18: Establishing a Company



Then he went to the bank to borrow one million, um, an interest-free loan.

Once he has three million in starting capital, he can start developing new games.

"Brother Chuan is awesome!! I won't say anything more, it's all in the wine. I wish Brother Chuan's new game a big hit~~"

Xiao Ming poured wine for both of them and said with a smile.

"By the way, Brother Chuan, if you want to start a studio, do you need to recruit people in the early stages?"

Xiao Ming was silent for a while, then suddenly asked.

Although it was said in a euphemistic way, the meaning was very clear.

And Wang Chuan could also hear it.

"In the early stages of the studio, the workload wasn't very heavy. I did some of it myself and outsourced some, which was no problem."

Wang Chuan smiled and refused politely.

He and Xiao Ming have been together for a few days and know each other's level.

He has the talent and is smart, but he lacks patience.

A few days ago, he said that he would go home to inherit his father's property after graduation~~

I asked this question today probably on a whim.

Maybe I won’t want to think about it again tomorrow.

So, in order to avoid embarrassment, Wang Chuan simply refused.

Sure enough, after hearing Wang Chuan's words, Xiao Ming was not disappointed.

Instead, he nodded nonchalantly, as if it was just a casual question.

"By the way, Brother Chuan, have you heard the news about Factory 3? They seem to be targeting you."

After the two of them had their fill of food and drink, they lay comfortably in their chairs and started chatting.

Suddenly, Xiao Ming seemed to think of something and said indignantly.

"Oh? What? I haven't been paying attention to the news outside recently."

Wang Chuan ate a peanut and asked casually.

"What else could it be? Isn't it because you, Brother Chuan, rejected the three studios, and then they all announced that they would produce meta games~~~"

"Hey, I thought it was something else. Hands are on their bodies. If they want to do it, then do it."

"Anyway, my next game isn't going to be a meta-game."

Wang Chuan was not surprised at all and spoke calmly.

He also guessed it. After all, "The Stanley Parable" performed extremely well. How could the three studios let go of this juicy opportunity?

"ha???"

"Brother Chuan, are you kidding me? The Stanley Parable is taking off, and it's directly making the metagame hot."

"And you're also known as the father of meta-games by players, but you don't take the opportunity to release a similar game?"

Xiao Ming was stunned by Wang Chuan's words, and then hurriedly tried to persuade him.

Wow, this is a rare opportunity.

If it were him, he would definitely take the opportunity to release a sequel and make money.

"The environment is different now! I used to work on metagames because I wanted to get a game producer title, but if you look closely, there's only so much metagame content."

"And the genre is rather literary, which doesn't suit me right now~~~"

Since it was Xiao Ming who asked, Wang Chuan explained it seriously.

In this world, no one understands the meta-game genre better than him.

Before the time travel, meta games were almost everywhere.

"Ashe", "Undertale", "Pony Island", etc. are all relatively well-known meta games.

It can be said that meta-games are the representative of low-cost independent games.

Because, in the meta-game, the most important thing is not to create a sense of disconnection.

With low-budget production, the game duration will definitely not exceed six hours.

And this time, coupled with a relatively good plot, there is also the feeling of breaking the dimensional wall.

It's enough to satisfy players.

However, if you follow this process in the production of a 3A masterpiece, it is absolutely impossible.

Because of the large production costs, the game will be very long.

If we do it in a meta-game way, players will not be able to experience the plot smoothly, nor will they be able to feel the shock of breaking the dimensional wall.

In this way, the blockbuster is not a blockbuster, and the meta-game is not a meta-game.

The whole thing collapsed~~

Therefore, 3A-level masterpieces generally present meta-game elements in the form of levels.

It's like the ending of NieR: Automata, where the player's save file is sacrificed to save others.

However, this is more like an easter egg, just a display of the characteristics of the meta-game.

Of course, the most important thing is the popularity of his "The Stanley Parable" on the Internet.

It will definitely make major manufacturers and media hype up the concept of "meta-game".

By then, whether it is the three major manufacturers, small manufacturers, or independent game producers, they will follow suit.

Wang Chuan seemed to be able to see the scene at that time.

More than 80% of the new games released in a certain month are meta games.

Players will definitely be able to have a great time playing the game all at once, but game manufacturers will definitely be miserable.

There are too many similar games, which leads to endless PK.

When it comes to interests, there is no room for compromise.

It will definitely look great then!!

Wang Chuan did not tell Xiao Ming about his guess.

He just continued to chat with Xiao Ming about other things, and after a while, they both left.

This also means that Wang Chuan is about to graduate!

......

Because I had given a speech at the graduation ceremony before, I received support from the school.

Therefore, Wang Chuan asked the school to find a location for his studio.

You know, if you have connections but don’t use them, you’re no different from a fool.

Soon, news came from the school.

The studio is located in the suburbs around the school, and the monthly rent is not expensive.

Only about 100,000 yuan.

In fact, it can be even cheaper because office buildings nearby are even cheaper.

But after thinking about it, Wang Chuan decided to rent this.

Because, this is a villa!!

It covers an area of ​​about 700 square meters and is very large.

I wonder when Wang Chuan has ever lived in a villa? This time, I happened to experience it.

Isn't it just 100,000 yuan? I rented it. When have I, Wang Chuan, ever been short of money?

Well, the main thing is that the money from the game will be paid out soon.

Soon, Wang Chuan arrived at the villa by car.

“It’s really quite big~~~”

Although I knew the exact area, I was still shocked when I actually saw it.

Is this the life of rich people?

The villa has three floors in total, two above ground and one underground, connected by an elevator.

There is a dedicated swimming pool outside.

There are fitness equipment on the underground floor, probably a gym or something like that.

The first floor is used to receive guests or serve as an office.

The second floor is a place to rest or play games.

"Not bad, not bad, this place is worth renting."

After a rough tour, Wang Chuan was very satisfied.

Compared to working in an office building, the environment in this villa is much better.

Beautiful scenery, leisurely and comfortable.

Well, Wang Chuan moved in that day after watching the movie, and no one could stop him.
