Compared to the headquarters of Kelai Apartment on the fourth floor, which looks magnificent but is actually cramped and crowded, with only more than 30 people working in the office, Star Game, which occupies the entire eighth floor of Tianming Building, is simply a world of difference.
Due to the shortage of staff, the company currently has ample space, and each person's individual workstation is large enough to run a horse.
In terms of staff size, the current Star Game can only be regarded as a small workshop, not even a company.
However, before setting up the company, Meng Xiaozhou found a professional consulting team from outside. The company has all the important positions in various fields, from game development, to operation and maintenance, to marketing.
Most of these people are currently receiving salaries based on mid-level positions or above, and are all managers or VPs, but currently almost all of them are working alone.
Only the two newly graduated rookies, "Shuangqi", are paid as basic employees, and work as assistants to another senior planner in the planning department.
Although Tang Shuang's boyfriend Luo Ji is well-known in the competitive game field, he is a newly-started game producer after all, so his level is just slightly higher than that of Shuangqi, and he can barely be considered a chief planner, but he is also working alone.
Star Games has not been approved yet, but the average salary is 30% higher than the industry average, and Chen Feng promised to double the salary within five years at the latest, triple it within ten years, and fifteen years...
Well, if these people can hold on until "The Compound Eyes Crisis" is actually launched and see results, then even if they are paid three times the industry average, what's the problem?
Before Chen Feng came, everyone learned from Meng Xiaozhou's indirect description that Star Peak Entertainment was preparing to launch a big project, the investment amount would not be less than 100 million, and the subsequent additional funds would reach 1 billion.
This sounds a bit fantasy and incredible.
But everyone thought that Chen Feng was a celebrity after all, and he was also very powerful, so he would not speak nonsense, so even if this was an empty shell with nothing, most people came after hearing the news.
In the spacious and bright conference room that could accommodate hundreds of people, Chen Feng, who was sitting on the table, looked at these "comrades-in-arms" below, who he should have met for the first time, but had already dealt with in history books, and was deeply moved.
He thought silently that in the timeline that he had never experienced, these people had fought side by side with him many times in the Star Game.
Yes, no one believed him even if he said it out loud, making games could really save the world.
As for the so-called 100 million investment, it seemed exaggerated, but in fact he just didn't want to scare people too much, so he deliberately said less.
In fact, he expects the total investment to exceed 30 billion RMB.
The significance of the game "Ocular Crisis" is far more than just hatching the personality colors of the stars.
In the next two hundred years, "Ocular Crisis" will become the second life of more than 70% of the population in the entire civilization.
Players will truly face interstellar wars in "Ocular Crisis" and see what the future will look like.
At the same time, "Ocular Crisis" is the most important "classroom" for people to engage in on-the-job learning and self-study.
In order to get more game time, players will have to learn to actively balance games with life.
People are addicted to games and love life.
The impact of this game on the times is much greater than that of the film series of the same name. It has changed the way people live and learn, and has allowed countless people to reach heights in life that they should not have reached.
At the same time, "Ocular Crisis" also prepared a good military training foundation for the cosmic war a thousand years later, and also set the tone for the next replacement game.
Since "Ocular Crisis" was popular for hundreds of years before gradually declining, game developers and builders of the entire quantum network life after the 23rd and 24th centuries have followed a core purpose when making games. The full text of the purpose is as follows, "Make games that are meaningful to mankind."
Games that are purely for consumer entertainment and can only be used to kill time and amuse life will be actively eliminated by social ideology.
This principle has been carried through to the 41st century, when all members of the Human Resistance Alliance sacrificed themselves. It is also one of the driving forces behind the rapid acceleration of social progress in the following timelines.
In the past, every time Chen Feng moved songs, movies or scientific achievements, it would have a long-term positive impact on civilization.
But when he was doing these things, he didn't actually feel much sense of accomplishment.
Because he knew very well that it was always shameful plagiarism.
Although he had the great cause of saving civilization in front of him and could find the most plausible excuse for everything he did, plagiarism was always plagiarism.
Even though he is becoming more and more skilled now, he has gone from self-anesthetization to shamelessly treating those plagiarized works as his own achievements.
He never thought that plagiarism was justified.
But only the game "The Ocular Crisis" has had at least the same long-term impact on civilization, or even more, but it is his own original creation without any suspense.
Only he could have brought something out in the 21st century.
Putting aside the advances in computer technology led by him, let's just talk about the game project itself.
In 2020, a grand development plan of 20 years will be set.
The total number of developers expected to participate will be as few as 8,000 and as many as tens of thousands.
The development time is expected to take at least 15 years.
The total investment in development costs exceeds 30 billion.
What does this mean in 2020?
This is to burn a huge listed company into a project with zero returns, and it is still an online game.
No one else could be so "crazy".
In a normal historical line, even if he promoted technological progress, a masterpiece of the level of "The Ocular Crisis" would not be born until the beginning of the next century at the earliest.
But Chen Feng will not take all the credit.
Everyone here, no matter who will come and go in the next few decades, will eventually spend all their youth on this epic masterpiece that almost makes them despair and see no hope forever.
Some people will wait here until they are gray-haired.
Some people will lose all their hair here.
Some people will even die young due to overwork.
The employees of Star Games make games, but they are also soldiers who indirectly participate in the civilization war thousands of years later.
Chen Feng looked at these energetic comrades, took a deep breath and said: "Everyone, welcome to Star Games, to my starry sky battlefield. Everything I promised will only be over-fulfilled. Together with you, I will change the world and change humanity in the next few decades."
The conference room was silent. No
CEO of any game company has ever made such an opening speech at an opening ceremony similar to a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
