My game is depressing worldwide.

The next morning, in the dormitory.

The Invisible Guardian has been released, and I thought I could have some free time, but I didn't expect to be busy again.

The first thing to do is to write a proposal.

The game project to be developed in collaboration with DeepVision Technology has been confirmed: Outlast, a classic horror game that once terrified countless people.

This is a game with a promotional mission, and it needs to leverage the advantages of the new VR device, Vision v1.

Considering the current size of Asylum Studios, they are not capable of handling larger-scale horror games, and the development cycle would be extended indefinitely.

The development cost of the game "Outlast" was approximately 800 million, which was within the studio's budget.

This project falls right into the studio's capabilities.

Even so, there were still not enough staff, so the second thing was to expand the studio.

The current manpower is somewhat insufficient, and Chen Xuan plans to expand to about 12 people to cope with the increasingly large-scale game projects in the future.

As for Yu Xiaoming...

Although he didn't have much talent for development work, Chen Xuan still planned to bring him into the studio.

Thinking about it, Chen Xuan suddenly remembered that he hadn't looked at Yu Xiaoming's attributes yet.

Select to view immediately.

Name: Yu Xiaoming

Favorability: 88

Ability value: 55

Potential value: 75

Character evaluation: His relatively low ability stats don't accurately reflect his value, and his high potential isn't focused on game development. He's the type of person who can handle any job except for frontline development work.

Chen Xuan nodded.

Although this guy doesn't have much talent in game development and is a bit naive, he's diligent in his work, so he's a good candidate to be a secretary.

He can be entrusted with all sorts of miscellaneous and troublesome tasks.

Upon receiving this news, Yu Xiao was clearly surprised, and then almost jumped up in excitement.

"Really? Brother Xuan, you're willing to take me?"

"Of course, but your job isn't front-line development, is that alright?"

"No!" Yu Xiaoming said firmly, "I believe my value can be reflected in other aspects as well."

"Then why don't you go and hook up with a rich woman? Your face has really come alive now, Xiao Tu."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaoming awkwardly touched his nose.

As the actor who plays Xiao Tu in "The Invisible Guardian", he has become recognized at school due to the game's popularity.

Of course, no one knew his name.

Some people call him Xiao Tu, others call him Zheng Tu.

As they were chatting, the dormitory door was pushed open, and two roommates walked in together.

It was already late August, and Chen Xuan and the others were essentially senior students.

Many students have already left school for internships, but Chen Xuan and his two friends are still using the Lincheng University's on-campus entrepreneurship park and have already achieved good results.

While on campus, they are considered self-employed students and do not need to leave the campus for the time being.

Tang Bai and a roommate named Zhang Guanqun walked in together, carrying suitcases.

Tang Bai and Zhang Guanqun were stunned when they saw the three people in the dormitory, and then their expressions became somewhat awkward.

The movie "To the Moon" will be released at the end of June, which is not far from summer vacation.

Although his game performance was good, it wasn't to the point that Tang Bai would be envious.

Even later, when faced with public opinion issues, Tang Bai and Zhang Guanqun were somewhat gloating.

Look!

Why didn't you say so earlier?

Indie games are like this: they have poor risk resistance. Even if they are popular for a while, they will inevitably run into trouble sooner or later.

Unexpectedly, the reality check came incredibly quickly.

Summer vacation had just begun when "To the Moon" won an award in the Tourism Committee's selection of outstanding works.

It not only won the Best Screenplay award, but also the Best Indie Game of the First Half of the Year.

This is of very high quality!

Unexpectedly, the Asylum Studios released another game, "Invisible Guardian," during the summer vacation. Although it was only released for one day, judging from the popularity on the live streaming platform, it was obviously a hit.

Tang Bai felt a burning sensation on his face when he thought about his past remarks.

Damn it.

His face was swollen from being hit.

Chen Xuan glanced at the two of them and gave them a casual greeting.

But Zhou Qian has never been the type to cause trouble.

He sat bolt upright in bed and greeted in an exaggerated voice, "Hey! Isn't this our big company's young master, Xiao Bai Yao? He hasn't even started work yet!"

Tang Bai looked embarrassed: "It's not time yet, it'll probably take another month."

"That's quite a long time indeed." Zhou Qian looked on with envy and jealousy. "It's so great to be able to work at a big company. Unlike me at a small workshop like the Madhouse Studio, where I can only make some indie games, and after several months, my salary and bonuses combined are only about 100,000 yuan."

Zhang Guanqun's eyes widened in disbelief: "Young Master Duo?!"

"It's only about 100,000 yuan," Zhou Qian sighed. "After all, 'To the Moon' only sold 250,000 copies."

grunt.

Zhang Guanqun swallowed hard, his eyes practically green with envy.

I knew my roommate's game was popular, but I didn't expect it to be this popular.

Tang Bai's face darkened.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't envious, but he couldn't bring himself to say it outright, so he interrupted rather rudely, "Zhou Qian, that's enough."

Almost simultaneously, Yu Xiaoming also nodded and said, "Yes, that's enough."

Zhou Qian was taken aback. Whose side are you on, kid? You just joined and you're already siding with outsiders?

Just then, Yu Xiaoming added, "That's enough, stop chatting. Have you forgotten the important business? It's already ten o'clock. Aren't you going to check the first day's sales and post it on the studio's official account?"

"Damn! That's right." Zhou Qian slapped his forehead, immediately jumped out of bed, and turned on his computer. "Hey newbie, I'm not very good at using these e-commerce platform developer backends. Can you teach me, future big company employee?"

"Don't pull me!"

"Look, it won't get you pregnant."

Zhou Qian insisted on pulling Tang Bai to look at the screen, and Yu Xiaoming and Zhang Guanqun also came over.

next second.

"Holy crap! 27 copies?!?!"

"Hey, as expected, as expected."

"I'm playing the lead role, how could sales be bad? Oh, by the way, do you want an autograph?"

Tang Bai didn't want to say a word. He broke free from Zhou Qian, sullenly climbed onto the bed, and lay down facing the wall.

But some chatter could still be heard.

Zhang Guanqun's voice carried a hint of probing and a touch of flattery: "Brother Xuan, well, my skills are pretty good too, is the studio short-staffed? My salary requirements are very low."

Before Chen Xuan could speak, Yu Xiaoming said, "Where were you before? Weren't you all so arrogant and looked down on the Asylum Studio? If you want to join, you can compete with other job seekers."

Hearing this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but smile.

He did intend to have Yu Xiaoming conduct the initial screening for the expansion studio project, and then he would interview the best candidates.

This kid gets into work mode pretty quickly.

"Alright, stop fooling around, let's go to the studio. We don't have much time to rest."
