Almighty Game Designer

Chapter 13: Experience Stores

The location of the Experience Store is just northeast of Tidu, near the Fourth Ring, next to a middle- and high-end neighborhood, somewhat remote, but also has the advantage of being quiet and not particularly noisy.

Chen Qiao dropped off a taxi and dragged his suitcase to the front door of the experience store.

The Experience Store is a second-floor shop not too big, no sign outside, and the door is locked. Chen Jiao opened the door of the experience store and dragged the suitcase into the store.

It's quite spacious, with about two hundred square feet of furniture on each floor, along with furniture such as sofas already arranged.

“Quite spacious. ”

Chen Qiao was a little surprised. He thought the area of the experience store could be over 100 square feet. I didn't expect it to be this big.

200 square, if you follow the general network cafe (non-VR network cafe) arrangement, you can arrange 30-40 machines, extra space, some sofas, green plants, beverage machine, etc.

Basically, the first floor is arranged like an Internet cafe for players to experience the game, while the second floor is the designer's studio and lounge.

The first floor is still largely empty at this time, because different designers have different layout options, some designers who focus on R&D VR games, and the first floor is to set up VR game compartments, so the organizers of the competition will have to consult with the designers before deciding.

Decoration is fine and clean, Chen Qiao is quite satisfied.

Once upstairs, it's all the designer's own space.

The designer's studio has a standard VR game compartment, high distribution computers, and branded phones, in addition to a professional computer for game design, a game editor has been installed.

Game designers need to play a lot of games to gather inspiration, so the studio has three devices, a VR, a PC, and a mobile phone, which are also complimentary with the experience store.

There is a desk, bookshelf and a queen bed in the lounge, the overall arrangement is a simple walk, there are some basic appliances, and there is nothing wrong with living here for a long time, at least the living environment is much better than the house that Chen is renting now.

Many designers in the world are workaholics, so there has to be a lounge next to the studio.

The placement throughout the Experience Store can be changed and fine-tuned, the competition staff will help complete it, but if it changes, they will have to pay for it themselves and the competition staff will have to agree.

Because Chen Jiao only has access to this experience store and has no ownership. After all, a store this big, in Didu, the price would run to eight digits if you bought it, and if you join it, it would be at least a few million, and the organizer would be too rich to send out the ownership of this store directly.

Of course, just the right of use can save Chen Qiao a lot of rent each month, so Chen Qiao has nothing to lose.

Looking at the situation, Chen Jiao called a former staff member and asked him to come and help arrange it.

About half an hour later, the staff arrived.

“Two-thirds of the lobby has a computer and one-third has a massage chair, ready for hand travelers. In addition, here is a bar, for beverages, just use an automatic beverage dispenser. ”

“There's a freezer and a snack rack. ”

“Here is a bookshelf, and I intend to buy some game-related magazines and books. ”

“The couch is a small compartment for a meeting room, a small meeting table, and a projector. ”

“The second balcony helps set up some green plants. ”

“And here...”

Chen Qiao said that the staff was recording.

The first layer is basically arranged in the form of an Internet cafe, but the computers are less crowded and relatively loose. According to Chen, 18 computers and 10 massage chairs are temporarily installed on the first floor.

Massage chairs are mainly prepared for hand tourists, and each massage chair is equipped with a mobile phone and tablet.

As for the second floor, Chen Qiao is completely arranged according to his personal preferences. Chen Qiao doesn't require too much. He can clean it up slowly in the future, and can do whatever style of decoration he likes.

When it was all arranged, the staff nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to come over and we'll be almost done this afternoon, at the most, by evening. ”

Chen Qiao said: "Yes, I'll leave it to you. I'll go back tonight to clean it up and come back tomorrow. ”

The staff nodded: “Rest assured, without major changes, these are not difficult to do, just trouble moving things, will definitely be done in the morning. ”

“Also, I have sent you a specific authorization agreement, and you will see the specific rules. If there are any problems, we will communicate in a timely manner. ”

Chen Jiao nodded: “Okay, I'll take a good look. ”

Chen is still more comfortable with the competition staff, so leave the staff at the experience store and take the subway to the rented house before you go.

On the subway, Chen Jiao took a closer look at the license agreement of the experience store several times.

Simply put, Chen Jiao only has access to the Experience Store, has no ownership, and is still owned by the contest organizer. Of course, you can also buy Chen Qiao, but it's basically based on the market price, and it's not much cheaper.

It's impossible for Chen to get such a large sum of money now.

Everything in the store, such as computers, VR game compartments, etc. is also a stranger and he only has access to them. These items are recorded in the agreement and are compensable if they are lost.

Chen Jiao is not required to pay rent or any royalties, nor is he required to pay daily expenses such as utilities, which are borne by the event organizers.

However, this does not mean that Chen Jiao can live forever, he has indicators.

Games developed by Chen Jiao must guarantee a certain amount of revenue, otherwise the experience store will be reclaimed.

Moreover, the requirements for this benefit are not static, but constantly increasing over time.

In fact, this experience store is the equivalent of an investment by the event organizer to get the first designer to always maintain a high standard of game making, so the organizer keeps him in the experience store, which is sort of a pull. If this designer's level drops, take back the experience store.

Chen Jiao thought it was a good rule, at least it wasn't a direct charge, and Chen Jiao didn't have to worry about making games that didn't earn enough.

In this world, the ability to make money playing games, if Chen strangers think of himself as second, nobody will dare to recognize first.

……

Step out of the subway station and return to your place.

After an afternoon of torment, it was almost dark. Chen Jiao ate something at a small restaurant nearby and went home to start packing.

He doesn't have a lot of stuff, the four large cartons are packed, and there's nothing big to carry. After an online van was scheduled to move out tomorrow, Chen Jiao lay down to rest.
