Chapter 322 Back to the beginning(2/2)
Mei Hong listened with great interest and asked: "What happened next? Could it be that you made the Fruit Assassin alone?"
"Of course not." Xu Xing smiled and shook his head, "Then I started thinking about which game would be better."
"At this time, my attention fell on the Pineapple mobile phone that my mother had just bought."
"Everyone is well aware of the epoch-making significance of Pineapple 5. When I saw this interaction method, I thought it was a new direction that was different from computer mouse and keyboard."
"It is different from the simple interaction method of mouse and keyboard, but uses human fingers to directly operate the screen."
"This has given rise to a new game category, which is also different from those games on previous push-button mobile phones. It is a smartphone game unique to the mobile Internet era."
"Combined with this, when I was cutting the fruit, I suddenly thought that if I put the fruit on a mobile game, I can complete the interaction with just one swipe. Wouldn't it be interesting?"
In future generations, this idea would be nothing more than a vulgar and backward thing.
But at this point in time, it perfectly fits the interactive characteristics of a smart touch-screen phone, and displays the touch-screen function in the form of a game.
"So at this time you discovered that this game might be able to make money?" Mei Hong asked, "and it turns out that you did succeed."
"That's true, but the situation is definitely not that simple."
"Oh?" Mei Hong raised his eyebrows, "Are there any other problems?"
"Of course, there are probably two problems." Xu Xing said simply, "First, if I were the only programmer, although the structure of Fruit Assassin is relatively simple, it would take several months of work to complete it all.
"
"Our school will start military training in mid-August, and there is actually not much time left for me."
"Of course I can also take it slow and grind it out for half a year, but if I can speed it up, that would of course be the best."
"After all, Fruit Assassin's strength lies in its creativity. For half a year at night, no one knows whether an accident will happen."
"That's true." Mei Hong nodded, understanding this deeply, "What about another question?"
"The second point is art resources." Xu Xing said, "Although there are free resources online, the quality varies. Since you are going to make money, the art screen that is the player's first intuitive impression must not be perfunctory.
.”
"But what if we outsource the art resources?" When he said this, Xu Xing smiled helplessly and spread his hands, "At that time, I only had more than 2,000 pocket money that I had saved for several years, and I wanted to find someone who could take care of all the art for this game.
Outsourcing resources is not easy.”
"So, to solve the first problem, I have to hire at least one more programmer. For the second problem, I have to hire another artist. Now that I have employees, I have to have an office space, which is another expense.
.”
"And these problems can be attributed to one problem, which is lack of money."
"So?" Mei Hong rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, "You had just finished the college entrance examination. If you were looking for a summer job to make money, it would go against the first question, and the salary of a summer job would probably be a drop in the bucket."
"That's right." Xu Xing smiled, "So I have to thank two people. One is my company's current financial director Yao Yuanyuan. She opened an Internet cafe at home. At that time, because I was a self-employed business, she opened the Internet cafe for free.
The box was lent to me for two months."
"The other person is my mother. From her side, I solved a large initial capital problem."
【Oh haha, sure enough】
[Haha, it’s still a game for rich people]
[Let me just say, after all the things I mentioned earlier, you still have to rely on family money? 】
[You can tell, he is a master from Shanghai after all]
[Everyone who is sarcastic is bored. Can you please stop pressing your fingers like crazy for a moment? 】
[The prerequisite for family sponsorship is that Mr. Xu himself makes the real thing]
[So why can’t other children from rich families make fruit assassins after the college entrance examination? 】
Of course Xu Xing on the stage couldn't see the barrage, but even if he did, it probably wouldn't matter.
Chapter completed!
