Game development giant

The information that "Parent Simulator" won the best game of the year at the G3 exhibition, shocked China's domestic gamers, just as fans of previous lives learned that domestic films won the Oscar for Best Picture Award.

It is not awards such as best foreign language film and best editing, but the best film award, which symbolizes the highest honor.

Originally, "Parent Simulator" had a good sales volume all over the world. Once the news was released, the sales volume increased significantly. It ranked among the top three in the major application markets, and even ranked first in the application markets in many countries. .

Mythology Network naturally made a lot of money. In less than a month, the funds in the account increased by nearly one billion. Xu Lezhu couldn't help but spend money and speed up the pace of acquiring high-quality assets.

After reading this news, Li Yuanhang threw it aside. Since Shinhwa Network’s account has more than two billion, he now doesn’t care much about how much money he has added. At this time, he began to understand the horse. Those words that dad said.

When a person has money to a certain level, money is just a number to him, just like there are hundreds of millions of billions of gold coins in the game, and the purchase of props in the game store is tens of millions. There is no longer any satisfaction for this person.

Although Li Yuanhang is far from the realm of Papa Ma, he is really not particularly interested in money because of the experience of crossing.

...

Before returning to China, Connor replied to Li Yuanhang that he himself was willing to go to China Mythology Network to develop. As for his colleagues in the ZERO studio, there are about a dozen people interested in this, but most of them are not willing to go to China , After all, their home is here, and they don't want to be too far away from home.

Li Yuanhang thought for a while. These people in ZERO studio are all elites. It would be a pity to give up. He thought of opening another game studio in the United States.

After Connor conveyed Li Yuanhang’s opinion, many people in ZERO studio agreed to join this new studio. After all, they all know that Connor is the brother-in-law of the new boss, and the new boss is also a rising producer. People, there is no such thing as a layman leading an insider, and there is no particularly suitable job for a while, so he agreed to join the new studio.

Li Yuanhang immediately spent a lot of money to hire a lawyer who specializes in serving the wealthy, and registered an offshore company for him in an island country. The newly established Demeter studio is under the banner of this offshore company.

Demeter Studio is the name Li Yuanhang came up with. This is the name of the goddess of harvest in Greek mythology, which means that the game made is like a harvest of grain.

After registering the studio and offshore company, Jiang Caiwei was urged to return home because of her family. Kang Na and Li Yamei and his wife also returned to China. When they arrived there, they would naturally receive Xu Lezhu. Li Yuanhang had only one person in the United States to take the studio. You can't go back until you have almost done it.

Construction of the new studio soon started. The current owner of the Demeter studio is from the ZERO studio, and there are currently only 18 people. The person in charge is Anderson, the former ZERO executive planner.

Li Yuanhang came to the office of Demeter Studio. This is an office building that has just been bought. It is more than 300 square meters in size. It is located in a quiet park by the Santa Monica Beach. It is the famous house in the previous life. The location of Santa Monica Studio.

The establishment of the studio here is purely Li Yuanhang’s personal taste. The Santa Monica Studio in his previous life has become one of the world’s top game studios here. He also hopes that his Demeter studio can also Become such a game developer.

Anderson, the current head of Demeter Studio, took all the studio staff to welcome Li Yuanhang's arrival. He even greeted Li Yuanhang in poor Chinese language: "Mud Howling BOSS."

Li Yuanhang smiled and said in fairly fluent English: "Mr. Anderson, let's communicate in English."

Anderson immediately said in English: "BOSS, let's go to the meeting room and speak."

Li Yuanhang looked at these crooked nuts, nodded and said, "Okay."

Coming to the conference room, Anderson introduced everyone present to Li Yuanhang one by one. After listening, Li Yuanhang directly asked: "Mr. Anderson, do you have any thoughts on the studio's first game?"

Anderson shook his head: "BOSS, apart from two or three of us, all of us belong to the "Epistar Century" development team. The development of science fiction shooting games must be very familiar. If possible, I I still hope to continue to do this kind of games."

Another Parker who is in charge of the plot said: "BOSS, if possible, I hope you can buy the copyright and subsequent development rights of Epistar Century, and we can also start the next generation of research and development."

Li Yuanhang directly shook his head: "The IP of "Epistar Century" is too expensive and has no cost-effectiveness at all. Moreover, this game has been developed for so many generations, and the story content and gameplay have reached the peak. If you can pay back, you might as well develop a new game directly and create a brand new IP."

Parker guessed that he knew that his extravagant hope would not be realized, so he stopped mentioning it after he heard the boss refuse.

Anderson asked: "What game should we do?"

Li Yuanhang has already thought about this question, and immediately answered when he heard the inquiry: "It is also a science fiction first-person shooter game. I call it "Halo"."

Parker asked with interest: "Boss, can you tell us this story in detail?"

The game "Halo" does not need to be introduced, but due to the age too old, Li Yuanhang can no longer remember the content of the story, and only has a slight impression of the plot related to Sergeant Chief John.

To make such a game, Li Yuanhang's memory basically has no effect. At most, it would be good to redraw a plot outline.

Li Yuanhang once wanted to make "Mass Effect", which is also a sci-fi shooting game, but after thinking about it, apart from remembering some plots and settings, the production difficulty of this game is no different from "Halo". Out of feelings, Li Yuanhang still decided to make "Halo".

"The story of "Halo" took place in 2160. During this period, mankind had already walked out of the solar system and began to explore the Milky Way gradually. The human history of this period was filled with a series of bloody conflicts between major governments and factions in the solar system. The Battle of Europa, the rainforest battle and a series of encounters on Mars."
