The reason he had all four of them write up plans for future updates...

Was to have them write down everything they believed could be added to the game later on—content, modes, gameplay mechanics, and so on.

He also wanted to see what kind of talent each of them had for game development.

"Th-then... all right, I'll give it a try. But let's agree in advance: if I don't write it well, you can't blame me, okay?~~~"

Huang Shanshan pinched the hem of her skirt with both hands, a faint blush on her face as she spoke in a sweet voice.

"Sure~~~"

It was rare for Wang Chuan to see her acting like such a shy young girl, so he could not help taking another look.

Still, it was clear that although everyone had been flattered by his suggestion,

Once they agreed, they were all brimming with excitement.

None of them had studied game development,

But being able to join Huangtu Game Company,

They all possessed a sincere faith in games!

Just being able to take part in the birth of a game already made them happy.

And now, they had the chance to take things a step further.

To participate in the game's continued development and personally create games people loved—there was nothing better than that.

The next afternoon, inside the villa.

During their break, they handed their respective proposals to Wang Chuan and quietly waited for his evaluation.

"Tut, tut, tut~~~"

After reading through each proposal one by one, Wang Chuan could not help frowning.

But his brow soon relaxed as he began mulling things over.

To be honest, Wang Chuan was quite dissatisfied with what was written inside.

But considering that none of them were professionally trained in game development, it was understandable.

After reading Zhao Jing's, Liu Qiang's, and Zhou Wei's proposals, he had stopped expecting much.

But when he got to Huang Shanshan's proposal, Wang Chuan's eyes lit up!

The contents actually surprised him somewhat.

For example, Huang Shanshan had suggested adding a competitive Racing Mode to the game.

Or introducing a system that rewarded players with character trial tickets for increasing their activity.

She had also proposed adding an Endless Mode.

And so on!

Her ideas differed from everyone else's. Most of the others simply wanted to add more game content to boost player activity and, in turn, maintain the game's longevity.

Huang Shanshan, on the other hand, was thinking further ahead, finding reasonable ways to increase the game's profitability.

That was what delighted Wang Chuan!!

If Zhao Jing, Liu Qiang, and Zhou Wei were seeing the first level, while Wang Chuan was seeing the fifth,

Then Huang Shanshan had already seen the third level!

This was exactly the kind of person Wang Chuan had always said possessed talent for game development!

Without any professional training, Huang Shanshan had been able to grasp game modes and mechanics, as well as how to make the game profitable without undermining its balance.

It could be said that she was already qualified to become an official Game Producer.

It might sound a little too pragmatic, but that was simply the truth!

Whether in his previous life or in this world, a game being able to make a profit was extremely important.

Only when a game made money could its developers earn an income. Once developers had an income, they would put more effort into operating the game and might even go on to develop their next one.

Otherwise, who would keep pouring their passion into something just for the love of it?

It was like a game from his previous life, "Black Myth: Wukong."

It had not been popular at first. It was only after a gameplay demonstration was used to recruit talent that it exploded in popularity.

The studio behind it had also developed a mobile game to draw in a large amount of funding.

At the same time, it had accepted plenty of investments, which was how it had managed to develop that game.

"Not bad. As expected of my little secretary~~~"

Thinking of Huang Shanshan, Wang Chuan smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

At the same time, he drew a check mark on Huang Shanshan's proposal, indicating that it had passed.

Actually, aside from the points he had mentioned earlier, some of the other parts of Huang Shanshan's proposal were somewhat one-sided.

But those issues could basically be corrected after she followed him through the development of a few games.

For what Wang Chuan needed right now, Huang Shanshan was already capable enough.

As for her future growth, she could improve bit by bit!!

After confirming everything, Wang Chuan did not call them over one by one for private discussions.

Instead, he posted the news directly in the company group chat and gave Zhao Jing, Liu Qiang, and Zhou Wei a reminder as well.

After all, the company would gradually expand in the future. Only by constantly learning and improving could they keep up with the company's development.

After that, Wang Chuan also sent each of them a huge red packet!

It counted as a bonus. Although the game's profits had not yet come in, making money was practically a certainty, so he let everyone celebrate in advance.

After all, he could not keep talking to people about dreams. Dreams could not put food on the table.

He had always believed that only by ensuring the people who followed him could eat well, live comfortably, and enjoy prosperity could they bring him greater returns.

Money could never be earned in full anyway. Giving up a small portion in exchange for his subordinates' loyalty—why not?

As for profit-sharing for the game team, there would be none.

Because that was for the game development team, and Wang Chuan had handled the production and development of "Soul Knight" all by himself!!!

The others had mostly just provided support.

After taking care of all that, Wang Chuan lay back in his chair and let out a relieved breath.

Then he opened the system to take a look!

"Soul Knight" had now been online for over a month, and it had accumulated some Fan Points.

Combined with the Fan Points he had saved up from "The Stanley Parable," Wang Chuan now had around three million Fan Points stored in his system.

Seeing this, Wang Chuan got an idea~~~

Since he was about to develop his next game, he might as well pull a few times to improve his own abilities.

That way, he could make the next game even more perfect.

Although he had game design concepts that did not exist in this world within his memories, along with the system's support,

He was still lacking when it came to the finer details of game production and development!

It was not much of an issue when making low-budget games right now!!

But if he wanted to create VR games, AAA titles, and other more polished games in the future, he would need sufficient ability.

Entering the system, he immediately found the Big Wheel without the slightest hesitation.

He went straight for thirty Ten-Pulls!!

In an instant, golden light flooded Wang Chuan's vision.

Since he had done far more Ten-Pulls this time than before, the golden light was especially dazzling!
