Chapter 42 When is a man most handsome?
While several big shots were looking forward to Cheng Tianxiang, Cheng Tianxiang himself was actually experiencing waves in his heart.
As a veteran in the gaming industry, he had heard of several people present: they were not the best, but they were all experts in their respective fields.
And this Mr. Chen who looks very young in front of him, has brought together so many talented people and knows everyone's information very well. Could it be that he really has some ideas and is planning to achieve some results?
Is it true that I am not being exiled again this time when I come here?
Just when the five people gradually gained confidence because they knew each other's identities, Chen Yan smiled and picked up five documents from the table, handed them to several people, and then said modestly,
"Dear seniors, this is my game plan."
“It is also the first game that our company will produce.”
"Please give me some advice."
Those who have been able to work in the independent game circle for many years must be people who have a passion for games.
After hearing Chen Yan talking about the game, they gradually calmed down from the encouragement they had just felt.
The five experts took the planning proposal from Chen Yan one by one and began to read it slowly.
As soon as they looked at it, several people frowned .
Because this game is positioned as a [video puzzle game], this type of game is strictly more like film and television rather than games.
This did not please a few people.
But as they continued reading, several people were gradually attracted by the story of the game.
As the story unfolds, a huge stage appears before them, on which a hymn of blood and flesh is performed, with wars raging, but patriotism cannot be wiped out. Spies and spies, justice and evil, are intertwined.
As different options lead to different endings, the moods of several people also change with the different endings.
Finally, when the last happy ending in the plan appeared, several people gradually drifted away from the story.
But even so, they were still immersed in that era for a long time, reminiscing about that shocking drama.
Cheng Tianxiang was the first one to finish reading the plan. He put it down and looked at Chen Yan with complicated eyes.
Seriously speaking... he didn't like this game because... this kind of game's core was so simple that it couldn't even be considered a game.
But... this story is really, really good.
This gameplay method of deciphering puzzles and advancing the plot based on options is a perfect match for this story.
So, even he had to admit that this game was really good.
In the independent game industry, even if it is not first-tier, it can be second-tier. If it is well made... hundreds of thousands of sales will definitely be no problem.
This is already a good result in the independent game field.
This game in particular is low-cost and easy to make, and it can be completed in a few months. The return on investment is simply amazing!
Except for Cheng Tianxiang, several other people also gradually came back to their senses from the game.
Chen Yan, who had been paying attention to the changes in their expressions, could already roughly see that they approved of his plan.
So he smiled and said, "Dear seniors, we will work together to make this game in the next period of time."
"This is the first game I officially made, and also the first game of our company. I hope it will be a great start."
"When I was planning this game, I didn't know you would join me, so I planned a game that was least like a 'game'."
"But I promise. For the next game, we will make a real game."
With Chen Yan's frank conversation and this outstanding plan, several people all agreed silently.
At this time, Fat Phoenix asked, "By the way, Mr. Chen, you just said that this is the first game you officially made, do you have any other games that you have made informally?"
Talking about this, Chen Yan smiled awkwardly, "Ahem... yes. I did it when I was playing around in college."
Fat Phoenix asked, "What's your name?"
Chen Yan was even more embarrassed. "It's not worth mentioning. It's called Wilderness Driving. It's just a little game. I do it for fun."
"Wild driving?" Several big shots looked at each other, none of them had heard of this name.
At this time, Tank, who had been sitting aside and was taciturn, spoke up, "I've played it. It's very interesting..."
As a well-known planner in the independent game circle, Tank said this, and others immediately became interested.
"Very interesting? What kind of game is it?"
"Is it fun?"
Chen Yan on the side: ...
Tank said expressionlessly, "Just drive. Drive non-stop. Drive for 18 hours. Don't stop in the middle."
Fat Phoenix:? ?
Cheng Tianxiang:? ?
Others: ???
Yu Qiaoqiao blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "Then what?"
Tank glanced at her and said, "No more."
Yu Qiaoqiao:?
"No more?"
Tank nodded, "Yes."
“This game is called the most boring game in history by a small circle. It makes people realize that games can be as numb and boring as reality.”
"After playing this game, you will understand that life is so worth loving."
"And I..." Tank turned his head and looked at Chen Yan expressionlessly.
"I really couldn't believe that someone could make such a boring game."
"I believe you must have hidden some Easter eggs or other changes in it. For example, a new road will appear in the third hour, or there will be a sunset view at the eighth turn."
"So... I didn't eat or drink anything and played for 18 hours."
"In the end, I only got the following four words: 'You passed the level.'"
"Nothing else."
Everyone: …
Chen Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I was just bored in college, and I didn't know how to program or make materials, so I suddenly had an idea, made a small game , and posted it on the forum."
Tank nodded and said, "But I think this represents your talent."
"This kind of game is indeed very rare. It also happens to fit some of the pain points of players."
“So, I also played your second independent game later…”
…
Chen Yan really didn't expect that among these big shots, there was actually a "little fan" of his.
Even though Tank had been describing Chen Yan's game in a very flat tone and with a blank expression, the appreciation revealed between the lines of his words still made people feel his approval of Chen Yan.
This also made the new big guys feel more at ease.
Even a senior game planner like Tank highly praises the young CEO Chen. It feels that the company really has great prospects!
Chen Yan did not expect that just a short chat in the afternoon would bring everyone closer together, and the company gradually gained cohesion and confidence.
The most obvious change is the eyes of these big shots.
From the numbness and confusion when they entered the door to the smiles and hope after chatting for a day, Chen Yan felt that he had successfully "activated" these big guys.
In the evening, Chen Yan hosted a dinner for everyone in the company.
At the dinner table, Chen Yan raised his glass and assured everyone that he would make good games and make the company the world's leading game company.
Several masters were smiling happily throughout the whole process.
If it weren't for passion, how would anyone enter the niche circle of independent games?
Previously, due to various reasons, they were forced by reality to compromise, but now when reality and dreams can be combined, their still burning hearts are boiling again.
During dinner, Yu Qiaoqiao, who had been sitting obediently next to Chen Yan, looked up at the boy with a bright face and eyes full of pursuit of dreams, and felt as if something was gently touched...
At that moment she seemed to understand something:
When is a man most handsome?
When you have dreams and pursuits, you are the most handsome...
…
After dinner, Chen Yan dropped Yu Qiaoqiao off at school.
