Chapter 353



The test results came out soon before the summer vacation.

Some are happy and some are worried.

Chen Fan did not fail the exam.

It was either 60 points or 61 points, and I just passed it.

After seeing Chen Fan's grades, Luo Wenjie cried out that it was unfair, saying that Chen must have secretly reached an unspeakable deal with those old professors.

No wonder Jack was so upset. Last semester, he set a new record again. He failed consecutive courses and needed to retake them.

But Jack had already had so many lice that it didn't itch anymore, so he didn't care at all.

As for Wu Di, he actually failed a course this time, which made him feel a little depressed.

Chen Fan didn't care about grades at all. To him, as long as he got the diploma from university, he would be able to give his parents an explanation.

During the college years, Chen Fan spent more time with Su Ruchu to fulfill his dream.

Nowadays, most of his energy is devoted to the construction and renovation of the club.

I had a meal with Pang Donghai these two days to get in touch with him, after all, he was exhausted in the past two days.

At the dinner, Pang Donghai praised Chen Fan for his success and said that if he had any trouble in the future, as long as he returned to the development zone, he would definitely help.

As long as he could cover himself up, no fool would dare to cause trouble in Chen Fan's club.

Chen Fan smiled and clasped his fists, then filled his glass in front of Pang Donghai and drank it all in one gulp.

Both sides left everything unsaid.

I took some time to visit Feifan Technology.

Liang Shichu designated a conference room at the end of the company's corridor and replanned it to become the office of the Starry Sky Game Studio.

That day Chen Fan came to the studio for a meeting

At the meeting, Liang Shichu brought several game developers and showed Chen Fan a small sample of the game production.

After watching the game demonstration, Chen Fan put down his pen, coughed lightly, and began to speak.

"First of all, I want to commend everyone for their hard work during this period."

"The game is progressing very quickly, and everyone is doing a great job. I just watched the game demo. It's really good. But..."

"I want to say but." Chen Fan looked at the people in front of him with a smile.

"But I think there are still some problems. Let me briefly talk to you about them."

“First, the game graphics are too exquisite. Both the character modeling and the environment are too exquisite.”

Several R&D personnel at the scene were confused.

Finally, Liang Shichu opened the conversation: "What's wrong with a more refined game graphics?"

Chen Fan smiled and said, "It would be great if the game graphics were more refined. But the game I asked everyone to make is not a 3A masterpiece, but a simple, brainless, and purely relaxing game."

“So I hope that everyone can make this game with only the following features. That is, the memory is small enough and the gameplay is simple and brainless enough.”

"As for the character modeling and environment rendering in the game, they can all be ignored. You can even make them simpler."

As Chen Fan spoke, he stood up and walked to the opposite side in front of the PPT.

"For example, here, the protagonist doesn't need to move. You just need to create a paper man, or even a pair of hands, and shoot at the enemy without thinking. The key is to give players a first-person perspective experience..."

Chen Fan listed several requirements in one breath. Finally, he concluded: "Of course, I still have one requirement, that is, the memory must be small enough, the smaller the better."

Several R&D personnel left the meeting room in confusion, and some even shook their heads secretly, looking speechless.

In my heart, I guess I was scolding someone. The boss doesn't understand the game at all, but he is still interfering here.

It looks like this game is going to be a flop.

When Liang Shichu was the only one left in the conference room, Chen Fan walked back and sat down.

"Lao Liang, according to my request, how long do you think it will take to develop the game?"

Liang Shichu smiled bitterly, "If I really do it according to your requirements, without caring about the quality of the environment or the character modeling... it will be much simpler."

"I estimate that it will take about one or two months."

In fact, Liang Shichu was still too conservative after a month or two.

According to his inner thoughts, if he really made it according to Chen Fan's requirements, would the research and development still be a game?

Can the game be played in that case?

Liang Shichu was pessimistic.

But the boss has always been very positive about this matter, and there is nothing he can do.

Chen Fan smiled and said, "I suddenly thought of a new method. Maybe it can reduce counterfeiting and piracy. It can even promote other products of our company."

Liang Shichu smiled bitterly in his heart. This is a game that couldn't be simpler. Is it really necessary to pirate it?

Chen Fan simply organized his thoughts and spoke to Liang Shichu.

“I’m going to turn this game into a web game.”

"Web game?"

Liang Shichu was stunned and didn't react for a while.

“It’s just a web game.”

"You ask the R&D staff to change the game settings again. Then we can directly upload the game to 놇go Navigation Home for players to download."

"Players only need to click the download button once to regenerate a web page, and only need to cache once to log in to the Navigation Home account to play the game."

Liang Shichu was a little surprised when he heard this.

"This... technically speaking, it's not difficult. But... what's the benefit of doing this? If you really want to copy it... I think you can do it, right?"

Chen Fan smiled, "That's why players are required to log in to Navigation Home or Extraordinary Anti-Virus accounts to play."

"This will make it more difficult for all manufacturers who want to copycat products."

"In addition, I have another method that can greatly eliminate the phenomenon of counterfeiting and piracy."

Chen Fan looked at Liang Shichu and smiled.

"I decided to make the game free for players to play once it's online."

Liang Shichu was confused again.

"Free to play?"

"Why is this free? Don't you plan to make money from this game?"

Chen Fan smiled and shook his head, "Free games can attract more players to play the game the fastest."

"We don't make money from game sales, but from in-game items."

Liang Shichu's eyes widened.

"Selling items? Then... is that still considered a stand-alone game?"

Chen Fan smiled and said, "It's not necessarily the same."

“It’s actually more like a stand-alone web game.”

"Because there is no payment system on Go Navigation Home, you have to ask employees to develop a separate game zone on the official website of Extraordinary Killer. When the time comes, players can pay to purchase props from the official website, and the company will give them redemption codes."

"The player then takes the redemption code to redeem the required items in the game."

Liang Shichu was not a fool. After hearing what Chen Fan said, he suddenly understood something.

"You...you want to boost the download volume of Violence and GO Navigation Home through the game?"

Chen Fan nodded, "We have plans in this regard, but the specific results will depend on whether the games you develop can attract everyone."

Liang Shichu opened his notebook and began to record the request that Chen Fan had just mentioned.

After taking notes, Liang Shichu looked up at Chen Fan.

"I just said that I make money by selling props. Boss, when you say props, you mean..."

"Guns, grenades, knives...even clothes."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Let's use our brains. As long as the players top up more, we can reward them with better-looking and more accurate guns... They will like it."

"Of course, we have to put a lot of thought into the design of the devils. We have to make them difficult to a certain extent, and make the players feel satisfied when killing them, and unable to stop..."

"At each level, the difficulty is slightly increased at a certain point. If players can't pass it, they will want to buy a better gun..."

Liang Shichu was stunned when he heard this.

"This... I have to say, this move is really... too despicable."

"Boss, we will be scolded."

Chen Fan smiled.

"As long as the players are having fun, what does it matter if we suffer a little?"

Looking at the boss's smiling expression, Liang Shichu thought that the boss was worthy of being called Boss Li, and he really had the potential to be a dishonest businessman.

Chen Fan, however, found it funny.

This is just the beginning.

Compared with the money-making methods of the big game companies behind, I am already gentle enough.
