Kyoto, Kyoto University.

Li Zhibin was a little absent-minded throughout the military training starting in the afternoon. After making mistakes several times, the instructor singled him out and trained him until he was exhausted, before he slowly came back to his senses.

He doesn't care about the military training at all right now. He has been thinking about what Xu Xing told him and the upcoming Fruit Assassin.

So much so that when the military training was over and he went to eat with his roommates, Li Zhibin would take a bite and think for a while. The roommate next to him almost thought that he was stunned by the extra training from the instructor: "Li Zhibin, are you okay? Do you want to go to the infirmary?"

"

"No, no, no," Li Zhibin waved his hands repeatedly.

Night training in the evening is relatively relaxed. Most of it is just a symbolic practice, and then there will be people who volunteer to perform their talents.

Li Zhibin thought about Xu Xing recommending his tongue to twist screws and nostrils to open bottle caps, and his face couldn't help but twitch a few times.

When I returned to the dormitory at night, everyone collapsed on the bed after taking a shower. After turning off the lights, they fell asleep. Li Zhibin was the only one, lying on his side on the bed, silently watching the time on his phone, pointing to the time bit by bit.

early in the morning.

When the time came to 00:00, Li Zhibin immediately logged in to his US account, searched for Fruit Assassin, and found the first game produced by their Tianshu Studio!

Li Zhibin was a little excited. If he hadn't been in the dormitory, he would have screamed out in excitement.

Seeing the notification that the number of downloads was 0, Li Zhibin quickly completed the payment. After paying the price of US$2.99, his phone prompted that the download was in progress.

Li Zhibin quickly took out his headphones and put them on. After the Fruit Assassin download was completed, he immediately clicked to enter the game.

As the familiar music sounded in his ears, Li Zhibin immediately cut the fruit skillfully, and the points displayed in the upper left corner increased rapidly.

After all, he had played the beta version of Fruit Assassin before, and there was nothing different about the official version except that the gaming experience was smoother.

But when he thought that this game was actually made by his own brothers, Li Zhibin still felt very dreamy and incredible.

Especially since he just downloaded it from the App Store and is now using it to experience it, everything feels like a dream.

However, after playing for more than an hour and finally redeeming the third blade skin effect that he had not been able to redeem in the beta version, Li Zhibin finally quit the game.

After all, he had to get up early to continue military training tomorrow, and he didn't want to die suddenly.

But before going to bed, he took a special look at the downloads of Fruit Assassin.

There are only four.

Hmm...four...

One is almost 3 US dollars, and the four are 12 US dollars. Converted to their money, it is almost more than 80 yuan?

If you calculate it this way, Xu Xing's previous investment cost must be tens of thousands of yuan. If you want to initially recover the cost, you must sell at least 3,000 copies?

No, no, it is said that you have to give the pineapple company money, and then you have to pay taxes.

To be conservative, we have to multiply it by at least two or three times, right?

The most conservative estimate is that if you want to make your money back, you have to sell 10,000 copies?!

Thinking of this number, Li Zhibin suddenly couldn't sleep again.

Where can we find 10,000 people to pay for this?

What's more, this is just a simple return of capital.

If you really want to meet the preliminary requirements of what Xu Xing told him on QQ, you have to make profits reach millions to be considered feasible, right?

But if they could really make millions, their Fruit Assassin would have to sell hundreds of thousands or even millions of copies.

That's a completely astronomical number.

Li Zhibin's mental arithmetic ability was so good that after he quickly came to this conclusion, he felt a little restless and felt a little stuffy while lying on the bed. He quickly opened the quilt to get some air.

On the other side, Xu Xing did not wait until the early morning at all. Instead, after turning off the lights in the dormitory, he chatted with his roommate for a while and then slowly fell asleep.

Anyway, the game will be there after it is put on the shelves, and it will not run away, so Xu Xing is not worried at all.

Moreover, the time when the game has just been launched is actually not the most critical period yet. The battle will not really begin until it reaches the recommended position and gains a certain amount of exposure.

So Xu Xing didn't care about this matter at all.

On the contrary, several of my employees were particularly worried and waited until the early hours of the morning just to download and experience their studio's first game earlier.

Except for Yan Chijue, who had no pineapple phone and could only sleep and wait to play with Xu Xing the next day, everyone else was waiting by their phones.

Yao Yuanyuan also downloaded the game immediately and happily ran to her mother Pei Qinglan's room to show off.

Pei Qinglan, who was used to staying up late to work, was still very awake at this point. When she saw the Fruit Assassin downloaded on Yao Yuanyuan's mobile phone, Pei Qinglan was also very interested.

After taking it and playing a few games, I felt the initial guidance of the game above, the strong prompts and marks when cutting several fruits at once, the achievement badge wall after achieving achievements, and the points mall where skins can be exchanged.

Pei Qinglan soon realized that although this was only Tianshu Studio's first mobile game, the various layouts in it did not show the immaturity of a newcomer at all.

It was as if Xu Xing had a well-thought-out plan, and every part had been conceived in advance. There was no conflict between the finished product and his vision, and the game was produced very smoothly.

Although Pei Qinglan doesn't know much about games, she understands the game market. She has invested in many Internet game companies before. Some relatively simple conceptual content was mentioned by people from game companies.

For example, from an initial idea, to a detailed planning plan, and then to the program and art levels, to the integrated overall game framework, including core gameplay, art style, resource allocation, story content, etc.

When the final game product is launched, the final image may be completely different from the original idea or the original planned content.

But after Pei Qinglan played Fruit Assassin, she discovered that the core content of the official version of Fruit Assassin was no different from the semi-finished product she was given to try out.

It's just that the art resources are richer and the special effects are more attractive. The essential changes are not too many.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the core gameplay of this mobile game itself is relatively simple, and there is no corresponding story content.

But despite this, Pei Qinglan still vaguely felt that she might have really missed out on a very good investment project.

"If your company encounters any problems in the future, you can come to consult me ​​at any time." Pei Qinglan returned the phone to her daughter, and then said, "I originally thought that you would do some exercise, but now it seems that this may also be your own problem.

If you have an opportunity, you should seize it."

"Hehe." Yao Yuanyuan smiled proudly. After receiving her mother's approval, she waved her big hand in a somewhat swollen manner and said in an awe-inspiring manner, "Mom, just wait. In the future, our company will become bigger and stronger. Directly

In turn, I acquired your company!"

The two mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't take the joke to heart. Pei Qinglan just encouraged: "If you have this ability, mom will be your deputy from now on."

Yao Yuanyuan chuckled.

But Pei Qinglan continued: "Although I admit that the game made by Xu Xing is indeed good, whether it can withstand the test of the market still depends on its subsequent performance."

"After all, no matter how much we praise it, if the market and players are unwilling to pay, then it is destined to be a failed game."

…

In the girls' dormitory in Min Da West District.

As early as early in the morning, Yu Youjia, who was in the bed opposite, felt someone crawling into her bed, and she was so frightened that she opened her eyes.

After seeing clearly that it was Xu Niannian, Yu Youjia sighed helplessly, leaned against the wall, and gave up half of the empty seats, then asked: "What time is it already? I still have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

"The game we made before has just been released!"

Xu Niannian suppressed his excitement, shook Yu Youjia to wake up, then took out his mobile phone and urged: "Quick, quick, quick, I will take you to download one together."

Originally, Yu Youjia didn't want to pay attention to this guy, but when he heard that it was the game that he had helped with before, Xu Niannian's curiosity was aroused.

One thing to note is that although Xu Niannian introduced her to the specific gameplay of this game before, Xu Niannian himself has never touched the previous beta version, so Yu Youjia still doesn’t know what the actual game experience is.

Kind of.

He only knew that he could cut fruits by sliding the screen, but Yu Youjia had no idea what the fun of this game was.

So with curiosity about this game with traces of her participation, Yu Youjia reluctantly got up from the bed and accompanied Xu Niannian to download a Fruit Assassin.

After entering the game page, you will first see a simple animated logo interface.

On the lower right side of the Fruit Assassin's logo, there is also a seven-star colander logo that belongs exclusively to Tianshu Studio. Among them, the star representing the Tianshu star at the end of the handle is specially enlarged and is different from the other six white stars.

, the color is given a golden color.

This picture and the logo elements in it were all created by Xu Niannian and Yu Youjia. The two of them were naturally more sensitive to these elements and noticed these details at a glance.

Seeing your creative work appear in a game that has been released for a fee is undoubtedly quite exciting.

Even Yu Youjia, who is usually reserved, feels a sense of satisfaction and pride emerging from her heart.

Not to mention Xu Niannian who followed the development progress throughout the entire process and provided art resources along the way.

After entering the game, following the novice guide, the two successfully entered the game interface.

When the first fruit at the bottom of the screen leaps up and reaches the highest point, the game screen stops, and the surrounding circle turns into a dark black screen. The light focuses on the fruit, and a guide arrow appears at the top of the screen to guide the player to slide.

Screen.

When the two people's fingers followed the guidance to cut the fruit, a silver-gray blade special effect passed across the screen. The apple on the screen split into two sides, and the juice splashed on the background board behind. A sound of the apple being cut came from the mobile phone.

The final sound effect.

Everything seems real.

"Wow! So this is what it feels like!" Xu Niannian had never been exposed to this kind of interactive gameplay before, and he exclaimed in surprise.

Although the smart screen of Pineapple Phone has been launched for almost two years, it has reached a new peak after the launch of Pineapple Phone 5.

However, in the field of mobile games, there are very few game manufacturers that have truly delved into touch screen interaction.
