086 Alpha Beta
Because there is no need for decoration, you can start working by moving office equipment such as computers in. Three days before the Baiquan Club celebration meeting, the company started to operate officially. The main project now is the development of the independent game "The Story of the Oriental Fantasy Village".
Today, on November 1, the alpha beta version of "The Story of the Oriental Fantasy Country" was finally released, so Qin Han, the boss and project creator, came to the company to examine the results of labor over the past period of time.
Come to the company and ring the doorbell.
After a while, a girl with short hair wearing glasses opened the door and welcomed Qin Han in: "President, you are here."
Her name is Kyoko Saito, and like Kensuke Tanaka, she is one of the two vice presidents of the company today.
In his previous life, Kyoko Saito was the second-in-command of the C2 agency, and brought a lot of food fan business to the club. After the club transformed into a commercial company, she was mainly responsible for the advertising, activities, peripheral promotion and other aspects of "Fleet Collection".
After several years of operation of "Fleet Collection", players entered a period of fatigue and the popularity of the game gradually declined. In the three-dimensional world, the various linkages of "Fleet Collection" are still exciting. Even many players who have already retreated can't help but participate in these activities and relive the glory of being an admiral back then.
In terms of business operations, Saito Kyoko is considered a talent, and of course the Qin and Han dynasties should make the best use of it.
However, there are no commercial activities to be done in "The Story of the Oriental Fantasy Country", so Saito Kyoko's job is to prepare for the winter CM fan exhibition, and to contact Steam and prepare to participate in steam_direct.
Yes, there is also steam in this world.
This game platform designed by **** inventor Bram Cohen has a greater influence in this world than the world before the Qin and Han dynasties. Both Ubisoft's Uplay and EA's Rotten Orange have not appeared, and steam has become a global platform for digital PC game services.
The owner of Steam, the boss of Vilford Company - Gabe, commonly known as G-fat, took out your wallet and didn't discuss it. Shopping the Terminator. No counting three. Newell is also a real estate tycoon who is president in another world on the U.S. rich list.
Steam still exists, which is of course a good thing for producers of independent games like Qin and Han.
steam_direct is a paid application review system that replaced the previous favored light.
Any independent game producer needs to pay $300 and prepare sufficient information to apply for game distribution to Steam.
If the review is passed, your game will be available for sale on steam.
If there is no such low-cost and convenient sales channel, after Qin Han made the game, he would either have to lick a big company like Nintendo and Sony to see if he could get third-party qualifications, or he could only go through a complete fan sales channel, honestly carve the tablet, set up stalls at fan exhibitions, or sell it in physical stores.
On the previous road, even if you successfully lick it, those big companies, as sellers, will inevitably take a heavy commission. Maybe if the game is successful in the future, it is possible to directly acquire the company with money offensive, which will completely lose Qin Han's autonomy. On the other road, the efficiency is too low. In this era when digital downloads have become the main means of game sales, how many people will buy CDs?
In comparison, the steam, which is divided into 30%, is like a charity organization.
Qin Han’s plan is that if the game development progresses smoothly, it will be officially launched on steam after a wave of promotions from the Winter CM Fan Show.
So the completion of today's Alpha version is the key.
After entering the room, Qin Han found a group of people gathered in front of a notebook to watch animation in the lounge on the first floor.
"Oh, oh! Ai Jiang's Oppai is so good!"
"This kind of shaking, this elasticity, this kind of leaping feeling unwilling to be bound by gravity, supervision is really amazing. They didn't have a special position as the supervisor of the painting, otherwise why did the effect be so good?"
"I really envy the male protagonist. This damn social animal, I can feel the taste of Aijiang Ou Pi in the first episode..."
It turned out that a group of people were watching "Monday's Plump" played yesterday.
Kyoko Saito looked at these unreliable guys who were addicted to the Ou people and couldn't extricate themselves. She coughed dryly and said unhappy: "The president is here!"
The fat man from Tanaka, who had a hair dyed with yellow hair, looked up and saw Qin Han and smiled and said, "Teacher Qin Han, no, president, your animation adaptation is so interesting."
Others also stood up to welcome the Qin and Han dynasties.
Although these guys are suspected of working hours, there is really nothing to do now. Only after Qin Han played the Alpha version and put forward suggestions for revision can the next stage of work begin.
Qin Han waved his hand and said, "I know you have worked very hard to stay up late these days, so let's take a break today. Tanaka Jun, let's play games with me first."
Kensuke Tanaka happily placed the notebook in front of Qin Han, and then connected the handle for him.
In addition to Qin Han, the main creator, Fat Tanaka also devoted a lot of effort to "The Story of the Oriental Fantasy Country". He participated in the completion of numerical settings, side tasks, and a large number of script conversations of secondary NPCs. Qin Han was not only the president, but also a group of developers, the first Alpha version player, and his opinions were crucial.
Qin Han picked up the handle and started running the game.
On the screen, the first thing that appears is the logo of the Terracotta Warriors - a cartoon Terracotta Warriors, and they danced with long spears a few times. Although it is pixel-style, it is also exquisite and sharp, which is impressive.
Then, accompanied by the birds singing in the forest and the gurgling stream, melodious music filled with pastoral fun sounded, and the game began to appear on the interface.
"Well." Qin Han nodded with satisfaction.
As an independent game, "The Story of Oriental Fantasy Country" gives people a very good first impression, and can score eight points in ten points.
The game begins with a opening performance, where the protagonist travels through time and space, and mistakenly enters a fantasy village that is isolated from the world. The witch of Boli Shrine, Boli Lingmeng, rescues the protagonist and entrusts a long-destroyed farm to the protagonist.
Qin Han was quite happy to see the story scripts he wrote, which could become real game plots, the character portraits he created, and the screen could appear on the screen.
He held the controller and continued the game with great enthusiasm.
For more than an hour, Qin and Han put down the handle in a rather frustrated manner.
In the game, after he got the fishing rod, he caught fish for three days, but he did not get any harvest. This made Qin Han, who thought he was not a broken hand, quite depressed.
"Tanaka, isn't this fishing game too difficult?"
"Is that true? I don't think so." said Fat Tanaka.
Chapter completed!
