<h4>Chapter 16 Game Company</h4>
All of them would cost him 4500 Moe Coins, even if he bought them all, he would still have some coins left. However, he was scared that after he bought them, it might require him to purchase other materials using Moe Coins as well. It was just like what happened to the farmer’s hut.
He still had a temporaryic studio, before it finished drawing 300 chapters, Zhou Yu didn’t n to get one. In terms of the animation, he just wanted to turn the novels that he liked the most into animations. He didn’t want to release them on the inte, nor did he wanted to make money off it. He just wanted to satisfy his little petty craving. And in terms of games, he often hated the single yer games didn’t get to trante in time or pay to win in online games, but if the game was made by himself, then he didn’t need to be annoyed by all of these.
After thinking it over, he decided to try the gamepany first.
After spending 2000 Moe coins at the vending machine, he got the blueprint of the gamepany. Then as he had expected, he was charged 500 construction fee by the beaver. Only one dayter, did he formally have a gamepany.
Simr to the temple of the three pure ones, this was also a bigndmark architecture. The main building was a very modern and artistic tall building.
The sculpture in the middle of the square below the building was also quite distinctive. The small buildings on both sides were the staff amodation and the property managementpany.
cing it next to the farmer’s hut, the distinction between the rich and poor was extremely obvious. However, different from the Taoist temple, its status was shown “closed”.
Upon close inspection, he learned that the building wasck of the employee. He needed to have a development team, a property management team, and an operation team. Those three teams could be recruited at the human resource department in the main building.
The development team was responsible for developing games, the property management team required electricians, janitors, security guards, and other building maintenance personnel. The operation team was responsible for any game rted operations. Currently, it was just a basic gamepany, so every team was limited to two only.
Clicking the icon of the human resource department, a recruitment window appeared before him. Searching for the avable teams would cost 100 Moe Coins, it would disy three avable teams each time. The quality of each team was different, but Zhou Yu couldpare them and choose the one he liked the most. In addition to the teams with various qualities, there was also a chance to find candidates with special qualities, such as gold, silver or bronze.
Zhou Yu was too familiar with this type of recruitment settings. This was clearly the type of mechanism that almost all the browser games had. It was used by the gamepany to make as much money from yers as possible. He didn’t expect that there was even this type of setting in the ACG world.
Luckily, he had only purchased one gamepany, otherwise, he would use up all his Moe Coins.
Selecting the recruitment options for the development team, and hitting the search button, what he got were: an ordinary team of obedient people, a sumptuous team ofdies, azy team of otakus.
Fuck!
The sumptuous team would increase 30% of the development budget, thezy team would increase 30% of the developing time. Those were clearly the typical example of terrible teams. Comparing to them, the ordinary team of obedient people that didn’t have any special attribute, which was supposed to be the worst options, was now the best option.
As he had expected, all the games that involved in probability ratios were money-sucking games.
However, he didn’t want to give up. If the first search didn’t work out, how about the second search.
An undisciplined team of hooligans, a team of untalented students, a team of dispirited vagrant.
...
Goddammit! It was getting worse and worse!
Only after wasting 500 Moe Coins did he finally find a good team – a team of bellicose soldiers: Increasing the quality of wargame by 20%. Could equip two items. If there were teams with negative emotions existing in thepany, there was a probability that a “war” would break out, and once they entered the war state, they would never stop, unless one of the parties were eliminated.
Althoughpared to other teams that he had found earlier, this team was much better, however, the conditions of using this team were quite harsh for new yers. It meant that there was no way he would be able to use some random teams to fill the vacant departments. Otherwise, hispany would be at constant war.
After selecting the recruit bottom, the team was now officially his. However, he still needed to prepare the team’s monthly sry, which was 100 Moe Coins in advance. Otherwise, if he could not pay them at the end of the month, he would be in deep trouble.
A group of tiny soldiers that dressed in the camouge clothing soon appeared before Zhou Yu. Under the leader’s introduction, the group of tiny soldiers quickly formed a single file formation and then headed towards the staff amodation while singing the military marching song. Looking at how they behaved, Zhou Yu was speechless. They didn’t look like a development team at all. They looked exactly like a group of soldiers that were going into the war soon.
Because of the harsh conditions of using the team of bellicose soldiers, Zhou Yu didn’t n to hire two development teams at the moment. He still needed to recruit the property management team and the operation team. Otherwise, the gamepany would not be able to start running.
And with the previous five trial recruitment, it seemed like it would be very difficult for him to find three teams that had positive special effects.
However, what surprised him was that in total, he only spent 500 Moe Coins for the operation team and the property management team. He didn’t know whether it was his luck sudden increased or it was probably that the chance of finding good teams on those two departments was very high.
The optimistic and peaceful property management team: providing regr service and increasing the mood of all teams by 10 points.
The honorable penguin operation team: providing regr service and increasing thepany’s fashion point by 30 points.
There were two important indicators of the gamepany, one was the mood indicator and the other one was the fashion indicator.
After the teams were recruited, the mood indicator of all the team would be always 100 points. Only after they started to work would the point started to reduce. Giving them some reasonable vination period or providing them some entertainment activities would restore the mood point. If the employees’ dissatisfaction orints were always ignored, then the mood point would be reduced to zero and trigger the teams to go on a strike. If that really happened, then it would be very difficult to deal with.
The higher the fashion indicator was the slower the mood point would be reduced. Some arrogant teams might even have specific requirements for thepany’s fashion indicator. It thepany’s fashion indicator didn’t meet their requirements, they would refuse to join thepany.
Of course, he could also purchase some fashion items from some merchants to increase thepany’s fashion points. However, he didn’t n to buy them at the moment. Because none of those items were affordable for new yers.
After hiring the three teams, the gamepany’s status was finally changed to “open”.
The members of the property management team were constantly moving in and out of the main building. They seemed very busy. However, the members of the other two teams just stayed in their amodations, didn’t seem to want toe out to work.
Clicking the main building once again, apart from the Human resources department, he was able to see the development department and the operation department this time. After opening up the development department, he discovered another setting that made him speechless. The main requirement of developing a game was still Moe coins.
Zhou Yu did not know whether tough or cry. Originally, he thought that having 5000 Moe coins in his hands, he was finally able to raise from the lower ss to the middle ss. However, he did not expect that just one gamepany would make him nearly go bankrupt. In the end, he only hoped that this damn development budget would not be too expensive.
Tier one game, cost 100 Moe coins, The Programming Ape X 1, Gaming small beast card X 5, 10 mood points.
Tier two game, cost 300 Moe coins, The Programming Ape X 3, Gaming small beast card X 15, 30 mood points.
Tier three game, cost 500 Moe coins, The Programming Ape X 5, Gaming small beast card X 25, 50 mood points.
Because it was a basic gamepany, so at the most, it was able to make tier 3 games. If thepany wanted to make a better game, the requirement could be considered quite harsh. At first, thepany needed to have at least one Bronze game designer, thepany’s fashion indicator must be more than 50 points and then would thepany be able to up upgraded. Of course, it would also cost Zhou Yu 2500 Moe coins as well.
Hmmm.... Ain’t got money for that, at the moment.
The Programming Ape was also a rare card, although he kept catching the small beasts every day, he was only able to catch 4 at the moment. It was not enough to make a tier 3 game, besides he also did not have enough Moe coins. Although the tier 1 game seemed to be a bit worse than the tier 2 game, he would be able to see the qualities of the games that were produced in each tier.
Thus, the first ever single yer game that was made by his pany” has begun its development process.
