  Chapter 358 Two Backbones

   "Well, I want to ask if the two of you created this game together?"

   Taking a breather while the bearded man explained, Zhu Yuxing took the initiative to ask the man named Bourne.

  Byrne took a sip of water and looked back at Zhu Yuxing. He was surprised by the question asked by Zhu Yuxing.

   This is the first person who asked him this kind of question at the venue today.

"That's right, it's the game I made with Darnley. He is in charge of game rules and art design, and I'm in charge of programming and numerical values. We are both fans of running groups, so I want to make the game a group. The rules of the game are also added to the game, how? Are you interested, sir?"

   "The way of this game is quite novel, but I'm not particularly interested in the gameplay of dice, but I'm very interested in the world view of this game, what do you call the doomsday style?"

"That's right." Zhu Yuxing took the initiative to ask about the world view of the game, which made Byrne very happy, "This world view is inspired by many disaster movies and zombie movies. We imagine a future era when human beings are in the doomsday. For the survival of human beings, we also set a lot of values ​​in the game, such as hunger, disability, hypoxia, suffocation, poisoning, radiation and so on.”

   is really a wasteland-style worldview.

   Zhu Yuxing's guess was right.

   There is a real market for this kind of worldview.

   He hasn't had much time to develop Fallout. Originally, this was a top-notch series of games, and its influence was equally astonishing.

   And people in this world have already begun to try to create it one step ahead of him, which is quite a surprise to Zhu Yuxing.

   This may mean that he can finally experience a game in this world that is enough to make himself addicted.

   At this moment, the player's face is about to stick to the screen of the notebook, obviously this is the state of being fully engaged.

   This means that this game has attracted at least one player, and it has opened up a grade from those ordinary games that make up the numbers.

   Zhu Yuxing looked around again.

  This booth is really shabby.

  The entire booth is just a unified construction style provided by the venue supplier.

   They just put the name of Black Diamond Game Studios on it, and a few simple posters hand-painted by themselves.

   These two people either really have no money, or they don't care much about the promotion of this game.

   However, Zhu Yuxing looked at the way the two were shouting hard, probably because the former had no money.

   "Damn it! It's dead again! Why am I so unlucky, the dice always fail to hit the number I want!"

   The player who was playing at this time roared angrily, and then tapped the desktop hard with the mouse.

   The bald-headed man immediately showed a distressed look, but he didn't dare to tell the player directly, for fear that this would persuade a player who was finally interested.

   "Sorry sir, I gave you a bad game experience. This is still a trial stage. We are constantly trying to adjust the game values ​​so that every player can accept it as much as possible."

  Byrne doesn't look like he has a bald head and a big beard. At the same time, he is a bit strong, but he is not fierce, but he is very good at talking.

   "Well... I'm not saying this game is bad, it's actually me... I'm relatively unlucky. I've never won games of chance like gambling and playing dice."

  Byrne is so good at talking, this player is embarrassed to complain.

   Actually, he quite likes this game.

His play time just ended, and then the player also took the initiative to ask for a demo version of the game disc, signed the name of the other party with the enthusiastic attitude of Byrne, and left his contact information to promise if there is any game. If you have any questions, please call him at any time, and he is online 24 hours a day.

   Then it’s the next person’s turn.

   This player can continue to operate the character play more proficiently just after getting started.

  Because he has been listening to the game explanation for half a day.

   Those who have the patience to stay are basically fans of role-playing games and such doomsday-style backgrounds.

The combination of    role-playing and doomsday-style worldview is already very attractive to them, and naturally they are willing to stay and play.

   And this person is obviously much better luck than the previous player, and the process of playing is smoother.

   This made Byrne heave a sigh of relief.

   He really thought just now that there was a big problem with his stat adjustment, resulting in a bad gaming experience.

   But now, it seems that the person just now is really an African chief.

   But Bourne has decided to add a guaranteed setting to the probability when he goes back, at least not to make the experience of the African Chief too bad.

   However, while this player was playing, the player behind him became impatient.

  Because every player in this game is too long to play, it takes at least half an hour, he was a little tired just looking at it, so he gave up decisively.

   He doesn't want to waste too much time on this game, there are game dinners waiting for him at Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

  Byrne tried his best to keep him, but there was nothing he could do.

   He was a little annoyed that he didn't have more computers to allow more players to play at the same time.

   All because they really don’t have much money, and it’s not easy to have a gaming laptop.

   "I'm a little curious, isn't the game industry very hot now? Game developers like you are generally easy to get investment, right?"

   Zhu Yuxing was chatting with Bourne again and again.

Byrne sighed helplessly: "Of course there are people who invest, but their demands are too much. The two of us actually don't want to be tied too much. We have always negotiated with the investors in this regard, and we have become now. It's like this."

Then, without waiting for Zhu Yuxing to ask any more questions, he said to himself, "Darnley and I are planning to launch our game on PC first, and see if we can sell some games, even if only one game. Thousands of units, then our economic situation can ease, and then we can think about expanding this thing.”

   It sounds like these two are still two guys with a bit of backbone.

Investors are of course not fools. If such a small game studio does not have any outstanding results, most of them will be eaten up by the investors. They will either ask you for more than 30% of the shares, or they will directly take Your people are bound to die by contract.

   Of course, paying this kind of price can definitely get the same rich rewards, such as a favorable development environment and sufficient funds.

   This is a question of how much autonomy you give up to get how many resources. It all depends on personal choice. These two people are obviously the kind of people who want more autonomy and don’t want to be tied to death.
