If Ye Feng wanted to make a Triple-A masterpiece like Wolf, he would definitely need talented people.
A truly mature game studio had a project department, scriptwriter department, planning department, programming department, art department, sound effects department, and so on.
And these needed to be filled with people.
Even though Ye Feng had played Wolf before and had a certain degree of planning and control over the game, it was not a direct copy after all, so he still needed the necessary manpower.
A strong artificial intelligence had yet to step into the level of super artificial intelligence or intelligent life. It was not creative. Although it could interact with humans, both were at the level where humans raised problems and artificial intelligence solved them.
Artificial intelligence could learn, but it did not have the ability to create.
Therefore, it was impossible for him and his roommates to develop the game together. It was more like a four-person team to develop an independent game. Even if it was an independent game, the four-person team would probably take a year.
However, Ye Feng did not have that much time.
In his mind, he had multiple roles: project manager, program manager, planning manager, and half an art director. In addition, he had to cooperate with the artificial intelligence and a large number of people.
He wanted to develop Wolf in half a year!
Other game studios had to start from scratch, so it was acceptable for them to work hard. However, Wolf was modified and copied according to the completed version, so the difficulty was much lower.
Assassin's Creed was released once a year because of its powerful game engine, which could cope with the development and rendering of huge maps.
In Ye Feng's opinion, Wolf was easier than Assassin's Creed, and half a year should be enough.

"Alright, the next step is to find an office.”
The contact with the people in the business office was very smooth. On the one hand, Ye Feng was indeed an outstanding student. It could be said that he lived up to his name.
"What do you guys think?"
Ye Feng threw the question to his roommates so that they could have a sense of participation in starting a business. If everything was arranged by him, the others would not have the passion.
"Didn't Department Director Ran say that she could provide us with office space in the school? I think it's fine!" Ma Wen didn't quite understand and voiced out the doubts in his heart.
Ye Feng's gaze turned to Zhu Chang and Niu Fen." Do you think so too?”
? Zhu Chang and Niu Fen nodded," If we were in school, we wouldn't need to go out and find an office. This would save us a lot of money.”
Ye Feng waved his hand and gestured for them to talk as they walked towards the dormitory.
"Our starting point is a Triple-A game. We are not a small studio that makes indie games, so we have to have our own office from the start.”
He had enough capital and did not need to climb up the game's peak step by step. He could start a company directly in a brilliant and magnificent way. The first thing he did was create a Triple-A masterpiece, which made him seem confident and generous!
"Moreover, it's very inconvenient for us to work in the school. It's also troublesome to deal with the students and teachers in the school. We also owe the school a big favor.”
Ma Wen was convinced by Ye Feng." You're the one who's funding it anyway. We're all employees, so you have the final say.”
When he pulled his roommates into his team, Ye Feng had said that all the shares of the company would be in his hands.
They would not easily give out the company's shares. They would only distribute the shares according to their contributions after the game was developed and released.
Even if they split the shares, it wouldn't be much.
After all, his roommates were just computer science students. They were talented, but not geniuses.
He had no experience in game development, so he could only be considered a helper. The focus of game development should still be on Ye Feng himself.
……
In the female dormitory.
Bei Weiwei sat down at her desk, turned on her laptop, and started the Chinese Ghost Story game.
"Weiwei, come to the Three Lives Stone. We've broken off our relationship as a hero couple.”
As soon as Bei Weiwei logged into the game, she saw the message sent by the 'Hero Companion' Real Water No Fragrance in the game. She could not help but be dumbfounded.
What day was it today? It seemed like nothing was going well!
However, Bei Weiwei wasn't too sad and replied directly," Why?”
No Fragrance Zhenshui's conversation also popped up very quickly. Obviously, the other party was online." Sorry, don't ask for the reason. I'll give you a set of Celestial Equipment as compensation."”
There was actually a breakup fee. He was slightly speechless." No need."”
Marriage in the game was never meant to be. The reason why Bei Weiwei married Real No Fragrance Water was also for the game mission.
At that time, there was a quest with a very good reward that could only be done by couples. Hence, the single men and women in the gang got married one after another. Marriage required a token, and this token could only be bought with RMB, so the game company made a fortune.
It could be considered a disguised form of using RMB to buy equipment. But things couldn't be settled like that. Since the single men and women who were already married were already married, there would be a hub in the middle, and the game company would have more ways to make money.
No Fragrance Zhenshui sent a message in the gang asking Weiwei if she could get married. Weiwei thought about it and agreed.
The two had been married for a few months now. Although Bei Weiwei had never been a mushy husband and always called Zhenshui by her name, they had a tacit understanding and fought side by side for a long time. It seemed that they had some revolutionary feelings.
However, it was just a game.
Bei Weiwei's character in the game, Reed Weiwei, mounted her horse and started to run towards the Three Lives Stone.
No Fragrance Primordial Water and Lu Wei drank the Forgotten Love Potion. The game system announced," The relationship between " Reed Weiwei " and " True Water No Fragrance " had broken down, and they announced that they were no longer a hero couple. From then on, they had nothing to do with each other.
Bei Weiwei looked at the bottom right corner of the computer. September 30th, Sunday.
She decided to remember today.
···
"Wei Feng Technology!"
Ye Feng and a few of his friends hung the company's name on the door. The four words, Wei Feng Technology, were connected by a horizontal line. They were different in height and size, and they were not on the same level, but they looked very artistic.
It meant Bei Weiwei and Ye Feng!
"Alright, the company's preliminary preparations are done. Now, we'll officially start the game development work.”Ye Feng took the lead and walked into the Weifeng Technology that was originally a clothing factory.
The entire factory was large and rectangular, with a layout of 10mx30m. But now, it had changed. The walls had been repainted, and there was a lot of green wallpaper. There were a few potted plants around.
The office desk, computer workstation, dual display screens, office chair, and everything else were all equipped.
However, compared to the spacious office space, there were not many staff members, less than 20.
Other than his three roommates, Ye Feng also poached a few other game developers, a total of eighteen people.
Among the 18 people, eight of them had no experience in game development, but they were all computer science majors. They had a professional foundation in computer science and technology, and they had an algorithm mind.
As for the other ten, they had experience in game development. There were mobile games, client-side games, and indie games. Although they weren't from big companies like Netease or tencent, their game development experience was pretty good.
Moreover, Ye Feng's Wolf was just a modified copy, so it was fine as long as he presided over the overall situation. He didn't need the big shots of the game development world. He just needed to listen to his ideas and cooperate with him to complete Wolf.
Although the salary of game developers could not compare to those who played artificial intelligence, blockchains, and big data, when they reached a certain level, the salary was still quite high.
The biggest expense in the development of standalone games was manpower.
As for the game engine or other plug-ins and tools, Ye Feng was confident that he could solve them himself.
With Qing University's reputation, coupled with his computer skills and money, Ye Feng managed to poach these people with development experience.
"This is the game proposal that I told you about before. It's just a rough idea and not detailed. Take a look. If you have any ideas, we can discuss them now.”
