After "Escape", "Ghost 4" did not achieve very good results. Instead, "Soul Hunter", cloaked in horror and suspense, became the biggest winner, and soon the entire game circle began to study it.

This can be regarded as a phenomenon in the gaming circle. A slightly popular game will always drive a group of people to study it or follow suit.

Just like "The Binding of Isaac" previously developed by Yang Chen.

However, it is obvious that people are still a little distanced from the horror genre. How to grasp horror and business is the biggest problem for ordinary game producers.

It seems that although the sales of "Escape" failed and it was completely popular but not a hit, the development cost of "Escape" itself can only be said to be small and medium-sized, not large, and it has also successfully made a profit.

After the "Escape" project ended, some powerful second-tier game publishers in the industry, including NetDragon and Jiasheng, approached Yang Chen.

Although the sales volume of the just-released "Escape" is not satisfactory compared to the previous "Octopath Traveler" and "The Binding of Isaac", it is still profitable.

Although Yang Chen's three games so far have been distributed by Galaxy Network, that is because Yang Chen has not proven his worth before.

The performance of "The Binding of Isaac" and "Octopath Traveler", as well as the Golden Bird Game Award won not long ago, and the performance of "Escape", it is obvious that as long as Yang Chen does not insist on developing some games whose market prospects are not good at first glance, even

The Big Three will also make concessions when facing Yang Chen.

As for being rejected before? What does that matter?

…………

On weekdays, Nebula Studio, in addition to some new technical members, Yang Chen also entrusted a headhunting company to find a talent who can help him manage the studio well.

It looks very large, but in fact Nebula Studio is just a grassroots team and not very formal.

It was nothing when there were only a few people in the past, but with the development of "Escape" and another expansion just now, the entire studio now has 20 people, which is considered a decent scale.

Yang Chen needs a management talent to help him manage the studio.

The entrusted headhunting company quickly provided Yang Chen with a choice.

Xu Yu, 35 years old, graduated from a certain college and is at the top of a certain company.

Yang Chen didn't understand anything about these things, and the other party was not in the gaming industry before, but in the film and television entertainment industry.

But it doesn't matter if Yang Chen doesn't understand. He conducts special interviews and then pays a consulting company to conduct analysis. At least he can draw a rough conclusion.

After agreeing on a time, Yang Chen met Xu Yu recommended by the headhunting company in the private room of a business cafe in the city center in the afternoon.

"Hello, Mr. Yang." Xu Yu stood up with a smile on his face and shook hands with Yang Chen to say hello.

Yang Chen smiled, shook hands and said hello.

From the initial simple conversation, including the in-depth conversation later, Yang Chen basically confirmed the other party.

Although they are not in the gaming industry, the other party does not know anything about it and has obviously done a lot of homework.

After discussing related salary issues, Xu Yu officially joined Nebula on Monday as a free agent.

After entering the company, Xu Yu immediately made some local adjustments and recruited relevant positions after understanding the current situation of Nebula.

Yang Chen didn't know much about these things, and he had no intention of getting involved. As long as the core game development work was done well, Nebula would never fall. Yang Chen had a very deep understanding of this.

At the same time, the project of "Resident Evil" has been officially approved within the company. Compared with the previous "Escape", it can be said that there is too much preparation work to be done for the "Resident Evil" project.

Not to mention the establishment of the art style, including the game plot script. Although Yang Chen has written it according to the dream memory, the differentiation of details and the scripting of the game scenes are very difficult for Yang Chen alone.

Difficult to accomplish.

The search for an outsourcing team is a must, and at the same time, it can be said that "Resident Evil" has much more heavy motion capture elements than "Escape".

Even if the project has been approved, if you want to officially carry out development, the preparation work alone will take a long time.

During this period of time, Yang Chen was probably the most leisurely one.

Wang Ye, Li Ran and others need to master the advanced application functions in the official game engine. Chen Shu and others need to determine the art style of "Resident Evil". At the same time, the rest of the people need to work with the outsourcing team and the motion capture team.

Confirmation and handover of work.

Xu Yu is building Nebula's administrative team. At the same time, Yang Chen also revealed to Xu Yu that Nebula will not rely entirely on third-party distribution companies in the future.

Xu Yu is also in the process of setting up the relevant publicity department, but he will not invest much in the early stage.

"Ah Chen, Ah Chen, the official game union has sent you a message!" Wang Yaliang walked into the office and sat in front of the computer and waved to Yang Chen quickly.

"Official game union?" Yang Chen was a little surprised.

"Yes, the official game guild released the latest news about the invitation of the game development support review team." Wang Yaliang nodded.

Looking at the background notification announcement of his official account, Yang Chen couldn't help but feel enlightened.

Several times every year, there are official game support plans for some independent game studios and teams, including financial support and recommendation support from official game platforms.

Of course, there are also very high restrictions on the requirements for participants, such as the cost of game development and the number of team members, which are strictly controlled.

"Forget it, it's not an important matter, and I don't have the time." Yang Chen shook his head and clicked "Reject" below.

If Yang Chen, who was developing "Monster Dungeon" before, had received such news, he would have been extremely excited.

But now, he is really not interested in this. Although he has been relatively free recently, he does not have time to do this.

"Why are you playing games at work again?" Yang Chen closed the web page and looked at a game icon on the taskbar. Yang Chen looked helplessly at Wang Yaliang sitting next to him.

"There's nothing to do. I can't participate in the "Resident Evil" project. I sit in the office all day and have nothing to do except post a few official blogs. And I'm not playing games. I'm studying seriously. After all, games are

Developers can't understand the game at all." Wang Yaliang said with a grimace, but as she spoke, her voice suddenly became louder, and in the end, even she believed it.

You're not playing games out of boredom!

This is to find inspiration for game development and to learn more about games.

"Why are you so loud? I believe it, I believe it." Yang Chen raised his hands slightly to show his surrender.
Chapter completed!
