18 First Meeting!

The game is sold on the Steam platform, and the platform also takes a certain percentage of the sales.

For an excellent game, translating it into multiple languages is a mutually beneficial thing, so when the other party proposed to help translate the game into other countries' languages, Ye Feng didn't have many feelings about it.

This is not only beneficial to him alone.

But now, Carter actually proposed to discuss something with him.

Ye Feng squinted his eyes without making a sound, seriously pondering what the other party might want from him. He briefly reviewed recent events in his mind, but couldn't figure out why a game platform designer would personally contact him.

It was intriguing.

"Please speak," Ye Feng's voice became polite.

"Do you have plans to develop a new game?" Carter asked cautiously.

As the head of the Steam platform in the Greater Xia region, he knew very well how much money the game studio called Sprout Studio had made from "Dead Cells."

And that was only the domestic sales. With the popularity of the game, it was bound to make a big profit after going international.

He also knew that many people, after obtaining a huge wealth, wouldn't choose to continue striving but would rather squander it.

After hearing his question, Ye Feng smiled.

"As you can see, our studio is currently expanding and preparing for the next game."

"Then how much cost do you plan to invest in developing the next game?" Carter became very nervous. This was what he cared about the most.

Ye Feng was taken aback for a moment, as he still couldn't figure out why the other party contacted him.

He was just a game development studio, and what game he would make had nothing to do with the platform.

But seeing Carter's expression, Ye Feng realized that the other party was genuinely concerned about whether he would make the next game and what it would be.

"Let me introduce the development history of Sprout Studio," Ye Feng said in a low voice. Although he didn't know what the other party wanted, he knew it must be a good thing.

No matter what the other party's purpose was, his small studio had nothing the other party could covet.

Ye Feng never hesitated to showcase himself to seek greater benefits.

"Sprout Studio has been established for two months now. At the beginning of developing 'Get Over It: Digging for Ascension,' we spent 0 yuan and gained 1.5 million."

"As for the production cost of 'Dead Cells,' it was 1.5 million."

Hearing this, Carter's breath clearly became hurried.

There are many people who make money from developing games, but those who can make a fortune from scratch and invest all the profits into developing the next game are few and far between. From the time he entered the industry until now, he had only seen Ye Feng doing it.

"Mr. Ye, can we arrange a meeting? I'd like to discuss something with you," after hearing Ye Feng's words, the heavy burden in Carter's heart was lifted, and he no longer had the previous concerns.

"Of course, I'm available anytime," Ye Feng smiled.

It has to be said that the Steam gaming platform is highly efficient. After Ye Feng sent all the game text of "Dead Cells" to them, they immediately prepared versions in ten different languages.

In just one day, "Dead Cells" was available on the Steam platform in other countries.

Now that the Steam gaming platform had taken swift action, they made language versions for ten countries as soon as Ye Feng sent them the game text. In just one day, "Dead Cells" was available on the Steam platform in other countries.

Generally speaking, social media and headlines were always dominated by stars or hot topics, and there was rarely other news that could top the trending list.

When the news "Dead Cells successfully logged in to multiple foreign countries!" reached the top of the trending list, it triggered a carnival in the gaming community.

There were too many poorly made games, and few games could go beyond the borders and reach the world stage.

In fact, even games themselves were not much discussed in various channels; they were just a mediocre presence.

Under the "Dead Cells" topic, there were many comments from netizens.

"My fellow cellmates, let's go global!"

"Seriously, you guys don't know what Dead Cells is?!"

"Oh no, we're going to torture the foreigners again. Are you all up for it?"

"What can't be number one on the trending list now? The entertainment industry has become less useful recently."

...

When they saw foreign players using VPN to play "Dead Cells" in the Greater Xia region, everyone was stunned.

Because they had never heard of such a thing before. They usually went out, and people from outside didn't come here.

Soon, a video of a foreign influencer playing the game was uploaded. Since there was no translation for the game, he had a printed A4 paper with equipment names and their corresponding translations.

Throughout the game, it looked like he was checking a dictionary while playing.

Every time he died and returned to the starting point, he used a somewhat weird tone to speak a line in the Greater Xia language.

"Practice makes perfect!"

For a moment, the internet was flooded with video clips of this foreign influencer. When playing the game, he became a living encyclopedia!

In addition to his live-stream clips, there was also a recent short video.

After "Dead Cells" was released in his region, he tore the A4 paper he had in his hand into pieces without hesitation.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed influencer laughed heartily as he purchased the game immediately.

He even went to other influencers' live-streams to check on them. Whenever he saw someone successfully doing some advanced moves, he would laugh and say in the Greater Xia language, "It's easy peasy!"

That day, "Dead Cells" seemed like a new pandemic, sweeping across the globe.

And as "Dead Cells" continued to advance toward players all over the world, Carter and Ye Feng arranged a meeting at Sprout Studio.

The studio was no longer the simple student dormitory it once was.

Ye Feng rented a floor in a commercial building. Most of the companies in the building were related to the internet, making Sprout Studio blend in with the surroundings.

Compared to the beginning, the studio had expanded to 30 employees.

It wasn't big, but it was starting to take shape.

On the ground floor of the building, Ye Feng personally received Carter, the person in charge of the Steam gaming platform in the Greater Xia region. Carter had reddish-brown hair, was in his middle age, and seemed a bit overweight. He stood in front of Ye Feng with a smile.

"Mr. Ye, nice to meet you! I'm very happy to see you."

"Hello, Mr. Carter. I'm also glad to meet you," Ye Feng smiled and led him towards his own office.

In the elevator, they exchanged a smile.

"Our studio has just moved in, and it's a bit simple, please don't mind," Ye Feng said as he led him out of the elevator. As soon as they entered, all the staff at their workstations looked up towards the direction where Ye Feng and Carter were.

It was only after Carter followed Ye Feng into his exclusive office that the people outside started whispering.

"This person looks very familiar, but I just can't remember who he is..."
