"So, the next problem is which field to choose."
After careful consideration, Pei Qian decided to understand the environment of this world first.
He switched on his laptop, opened the Qiandu search engine and started looking at the recent news, especially the technology news.
"There are some changes but not much." Pei Qian had an idea.
…
This world had not changed much compared to Pei Qian's previous world except that technology was developing faster.
Communication and information technology were developing fast while computer chips, graphics cards and other digital hardware were improving rapidly as well.
Many technologies that Pei Qian thought would only appear in 2015 or even later were already starting to sprout here.
For example, smartphones were supposed to be popular in 2012 but they were more or less common in this world in 2008. Now, there were already some high-quality games on mobile phones.
On top of that, this world had a stronger awareness of copyright protection. Pirated resources in various fields were blocked and cracked down on. The threshold for being convicted of piracy was lowered.
As for other aspects, there were not many changes.
The main focus was still on the internet, technology, games, culture and other industries. It was similar to his previous world.
Pei Qian could choose to enter any industry and the system did not restrict him.
However, at the same time, in order to create value and not be judged as breaking the rules by the system, Pei Qian had to hire relevant professionals.
It was difficult for Pei Qian to control the direction of an industry he did not understand. What if the professionals he hired were really good and succeeded?
Therefore, after much consideration, Pei Qian decided to choose the games industry.
Although Pei Qian had never been in the games industry before, he had played so many games that he had some understanding of the industry.
Compared to other industries, Pei Qian felt that he had better control over the games industry.
A slight change in the gameplay could result in the death of the game. This was a huge advantage!
Furthermore, the games industry burned money quickly.
If the physical industry lost money, he could still sell his fixed assets. However, if the games industry lost money, it would be a pure loss. A pile of code was worthless.
Pei Qian had memories of ten years in the future. As long as he avoided games that could potentially earn money, wouldn't it be fine?
First step, make games!
Second step, lose money and turn all the System Funds into his Personal Wealth!
Third step, spend money!
Yes, it was that perfect.
Pei Qian felt that he was a genius!
…
After confirming his direction, Pei Qian searched for the official website of the Ministry of Commerce, downloaded the personal company management terminal, and successfully logged in with his ID number and initial password.
He already had a company under his name, which was' Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd. '. The company had 50,000 yuan in its account.
The system must have helped him register it.
In terms of entrepreneurial environment, the situation in the parallel world of easy difficulty was very different from Pei Qian's previous life.
In this world, in order to encourage entrepreneurship, the threshold for an individual to start a company was very low. Most of the processes of a company had become intelligent and could be completed on the Internet or on the client.
In this aspect, it was even more advanced than ten years later in the original world, and it was very friendly to individual entrepreneurs.
There were other similar changes.
For example, thanks to the rapid development of communication technology and cloud technology, many industries' network resources have been integrated, greatly improving the efficiency of online work.
Using the gaming industry as an example, there was a unified official organization called the Entertainment Software Rating Agency, or ESRO in English. This organization was responsible for the supervision and review of various games.
At the same time, ESRO had also launched an official resource website for entrepreneurs to use.
ESRO's official resource website could be seen as a huge collection of resources for the entire domestic games market. Here, one could spend money to purchase general art resources, program templates, and design drafts. One could also spend money to hire professionals to 'customize' their own games.
These art resources, program templates, and the like were all voluntarily shared by other companies or individuals in the industry for a fee.
Of course, these were all low-end and common resources.
One could also contact some big names in the industry through the resource website such as top-notch artists to communicate with and discuss business with them.
Other than that, ESRO had also released an official game editor. It was a combination of the more common game editors on the market and simplified its usage. With a period of learning, most people would be able to master it even if they didn't have any programming skills.
These changes happened within the two to three years of rapid technological breakthroughs, which was roughly around 2007 to 2009.
It was also because of the support of a powerful official organization like ESRO that such changes could happen.
Of course, other industries such as movies, animations, and other cultural industries had similar changes as well. However, Pei Qian did not need to understand them for now.
…
"Let me take a look at the configuration requirements for the resource website's client and editor …"
"Hmm, it's alright. My laptop can barely carry it. However, there's still a limit to the computer configuration and I can't make a large-scale game. "
"It's alright. I have no intentions of making a large-scale game anyway."
Pei Qian had bought his laptop not long after he entered university and it had only been a few months. That was why it could still carry the resource website's client and ESRO's editor.
However, it was also because Pei Qian had only bought a low-end laptop. Therefore, the configuration wasn't that great. It could make normal games but not large-scale games.
That wasn't much. After all, Pei Qian had no intentions of making large-scale games. He did not have enough manpower, funds, and he had no intentions of making money.
It would be good enough if he could make a standalone game that could pass the vetting process alone.
Pei Qian first opened the editor and studied the tutorial seriously.
An hour later, Pei Qian was drowsy.
"Didn't you say that I can learn programming without any foundation? F * ck! "
Pei Qian was speechless.
Even though the cost of learning this editor was much lower than programming languages or traditional game editors, it was still extremely difficult for someone like Pei Qian who had no foundation in programming at all!
However, he managed to learn simple operations such as using ready-made game templates and modifying art resources.
"I'll browse the resource website first and analyse the games in the market."
Pei Qian entered the resource website and checked out the available resources.
There were many types of games such as driving simulation, fighting, shooting, RPG etc. There were some common templates.
These templates were more basic and weren't expensive.
For example, the template for shooting games. By inserting the template into the editor, one would be able to achieve a series of basic functions such as walking, firing, changing magazines etc. Some firearms even had a default trajectory.
After purchasing some art resources and pasting them on, one would be able to create an extremely simple shooting game with a single gameplay.
If he wanted to make it more complicated, he would have to learn the high-end usage of the editor.
