Strongest Game Architect Chapter 7
Platform Contract Signing
Ming Yan finally hung up the bargaining call from I House.
Now in the Sunrise Alliance, the two largest multimedia digital distribution platforms, A House and I House, have finally both come to seek out Ming Yan.
A House comes first and gives a 25% share rate.
After that I House arrived, and gave a 21% share rate.
It seems that what the ancients once said about “a big shop bullies the customers”, was accurate.
Especially when they are facing a fledgling student, they become even more unscrupulous.
Ming Yan took a cup of coffee, meditated for a while, and opened his contact list.
Ten minutes later.
At Fei Yang Game publishing platform, an unknown publishing platform in the Sixth Star Province.
The new intern editor excitedly knocked on the door, went in and excitedly said, ” <Minecraft> responded to us! The creator agreed to go online on our platform!”
The editor-in-chief propped his forehead with one hand, his face as bad as a vengeful ghost.
He weakly said, “What are you yelling for? Which game?”
From his attitude, it can be seen that the recent situation of Fei Yang Game platform is not good.
Or it can be said that it has fallen to the bottom.
Last month, because of an intern’s misoperation, a player discovered that the editor-in-chief was bad mouthing IP’s masterpiece, and the public opinion exploded.
In all fairness, those words are simply saying that he doesn’t like a game, but it can’t withstand the intentions of people who wanted to find fault with him.
Naturally IP’s loyal fans deleted their Fei Yang Game account, filled the social media with curses towards the anti-fans. The number plummeted on the online platform, causing a large number of editors to choose to leave in the year, and the total revenue is only enough to make ends meet ……
The only reason it can still survive, was thanks to their own hundreds of thousands of local users on its planet that are still supporting it.
But the financial statements at the end of this quarter are predicted to be very horrible.
“Minecraft! The new champion of the Otherworldly Architecture Institute! It’s super impressive!” The intern editor happily waved the document in his hand that was an email that was just printed out, saying, “Exclusive first-line authorization! And it’s an exclusive debut for 20 days! The price and introduction are all prepared. The creator is really a genius!”
Newcomers are always making a fuss…Isn’t it just a small game?
The editor-in-chief let out a sigh of relief, and raised his head: “Has the share cut been discussed?”
The intern editor said cheerfully: “Already discussed, 10%!”
The editor-in-chief: “…”
Silence is Cambridge tonight.
What’s easier to cheat compared to fledgling students cubs, are the interns who are not even a fledgling yet.
The only good thing about this intern may be his enthusiasm and hard work.
Seeing as he managed to dig up Ming Yan’s communication number this quickly, it can be said that he still has some ability.
But there is no way around the issue of the share rate. The intention email has already been sent out using the official account, so basically there’s no way to back out.
A 10% share rate… it’s rare even on a small platform like Rising.
The editor-in-chief furrowed his brows and took a look at the game screen of <Minecraft>, and finally he sighed and acknowledged: “Just go with 10% then , this kind of junk image that deceives children…the sales are estimated to only be that way, it probably can hardly return the capital.”
The intern student stammered “What about the recommended position?”
“We only took 10% for that small work, and they still wanted a recommended position!” The editor-in-chief shouted at him, “Let it survive on its own!! We have no resources to let you waste it like that! You will write me a 10,000-character reflection today! You better remember, this will be your first and last serious mistake you make in your work!!!”
The intern walked out with a crying face, and turned on his computer.
The editor-in-chief has been under pressure due to the high workload and was very busy, but the interns still have a little time of their own.
So he was able to browse through the media and forums, and saw a lot of people talking about <Minecraft>.
Since the streamer “Juliet” became popular because of that video, many other small streamers immediately began to follow the trend and live broadcast <Minecraft>. It has led to yet another big surge of interest.
The popularity of this game is still not very high now, but that is because it has not been officially launched.
A graduation design work that is only open to download thousands of times a day can get such a high degree of attention, and not to mention that the curve is still exponentially growing…
The intern bit his lip.
Maybe he really doesn’t have much experience, but no matter what he thinks that <Minecraft> can be popular! And furthermore extremely popular!
Thinking of this, he silently opened the back-end.
The editor-in-chief of the platform doesn’t allow resource recommendation, there is nothing he can do about it.
But at least, within the scope of his duties, there is still an “editor recommendation” position on his tail.
The story developed two different scenarios, it will be narrated one by one.
Ming Yan just received a sum of money.
The prize money for the graduation design champion works was distributed, and a total of 20,000 yuan was given.
This 20,000 yuan is not too much, and not too less.
To use it as development funds for the next game is definitely a drop in the bucket, and it depends on how much revenue <Minecraft> can earn for MingYan in the end.
However, before developing a new game, there is still a necessary preparatory work—
Ming Yan took the 20,000 yuan, ran two trips to two different relevant departments and registered a studio.
The name is: BlueStar Digital Media Studio.
And the LOGO was also made by himself. His artistic talent is average, so he painted a blue earth with vector elements—yep, he can barely see the seven continents and four oceans.
Let’s consider it a commemoration of the past of this old fossil.
In this era, there are as many small studios like schools of silver carps, and they simply can’t cause any big ripples.
The staff yawned and submitted the materials to Ming Yan, and then said, “The registered capital is 20,000 yuan for the ordinary channel. After it passed the core system, it can be listed tomorrow. Come by once next week to get the electronic certificate.”
“Okay, thank you.” Ming Yan received a proof receipt.
BlueStar Studio was established on this day!
There is no camera record, no ribbon-cutting ceremony, and no one else even knows about it.
Only after Ming Yan walked out of the door, he took out his phone and posted a blog.
[ Tiny work: BlueStar Studio was officially established, thank you for your support. ]
The comments below began to increase slowly, but not many.
For now Ming Yan is still only a small influential person. Everyone’s impression of him is “the student who made <Minecraft>”.
That night, Ming Yan worked overtime, and finally completed the official version of <Minecraft> v2.0.
In addition to the original game content, he added a lot of novice tutorials.
The gameplay of <Minecraft> is very outstanding, but it is not very friendly to newcomers, and needs to be guided by a familiar hand.
After adding a complete set of novice tutorials to it, Ming Yan also added an in-game list that can view the recipes, which greatly improves the experience for newbies.
The initial version of this game has become quite complete.
It’s like planting a seed. All watering and fertilizing work has been completed. The next thing is to wait for the day when it blooms.
It was already very late when everything was finished, so Ming Yan laid down in bed and looked through today’s blog.
The search keyword “Minecraft” has reached more than 40,000 popularity, and most of the people are brought in by the sudden popularity of live broadcast content.
However, most people still can’t play the game.
After all, the official homepage has a download limit of only 2,000 people.
Several streamers have been asking gods and worshiping Buddha everywhere, and borrowed an internal account in the academy from somewhere to be able to broadcast live.
The live broadcast effect is also very good.
<Minecraft> itself is a game that is very suitable for live briadcasting or recording. It integrates adventure, mining, and construction, and also has an art style that is suitable to be viewed by all ages. Every streamer will be able to find a position that suits themselves.
For example, “Lady Juliet”, who has become very popular now, can have 200,000 fans because he streams adventure content.
Although his own strength is very good, he is always particularly unlucky…
Once a person becomes unlucky, he can even be killed in an explosion by cutting a tree.
The live broadcast is also very entertaining, and they have become one of the top three in the local game live broadcast.
For another example, a streamer named “Sisyphus” is mainly doing construction content.
He is originally from the architecture design major, but he also invited his roommate who studied urban planning on the way.
The two of them even brought a few free loading “workers” roommates, worked together for more than 30 hours and created a “Paradise city”.
A square is almost one meter long in reality, and their city is more than 20,000 square meters.
There is a pond in the city garden in the middle, and willow trees on both sides of the embankment covering the city hall.
There is also a towering landmark building, and a giant airship is suspended next to it, pulling down a banner which states Paradise City.
Residential districts, industrial districts, villa districts, and commercial districts also have everything. The original cartoon-style picture quality is adjusted to the highest level, and the light and shadow effects are applied. At first glance, it looks like a fairyland.
After the film was released, this work became popular on the Internet.
The comments below said:
“Fuck! Other people’s world!”,
“I’m going to die if there is still no Minecraft for me to play ahhhhhhh”,
“What do I even need these hands of mine for! OTL!”,
“I kneeled for you, the real big boss, this game is really good-looking”,
“Begging for save file download!”,
“Oh, everything’s useless, I only flipped my hand back and it’s a censored monster” ……
Ming Yan didn’t expect that the students in this world are quite capable of hands-on work.
The game had only been released not long ago, but someone was already able to make such a good work, and furthermore using the material that was accumulated bit by bit in survival mode.
Sure enough, the heroes of the world cannot be underestimated.
After thinking about it, Ming Yan returned to his page and edited a blog.
[ Tiny work: <Minecraft> will officially log on to the Fei Yang Game platform at midnight tomorrow morning, and it will be available for download on the whole network. Please support us. ]
It was a very formulaic sentence, and since it is still in the middle of the night, only a few hundred people have read it.
By tomorrow morning, more people should have discovered it.
Ming Yan turned off the lights, rolled over and covered himself with the blanket.
