...Somewhere in Seattle.
John Vechey, who had recently resigned from a local game company in Seattle, arrived at the home of his classmate and good friend, Brian Fette, with a look of melancholy, slumping onto the sofa.
"What's wrong, buddy?" Brian Fette, sitting in front of the computer, asked concernedly.
John Vechey pondered for more than ten seconds, then looked up and asked, "Buddy, can you imagine? Just now, I received another wedding invitation from my mom?"
A wedding invitation from his mom?
"Hehe."
Brian Fette scoffed, "I say, buddy, I think this is your mom's third marriage, isn't it?"
"Wrong, completely wrong!"
Hearing this, John Vechey, who had been covering his face, immediately jumped up from the sofa and exclaimed loudly, "Including this time, I've had seven stepfathers! Can you imagine that?!"
Brian Fette: "..."
He was speechless.
Anyone with seven stepfathers would be overwhelmed!
John Vechey added, "I forgot to tell you, I actually have two stepmothers too."
At this moment, even the dumbfounded Brian Fette couldn't help but burst into laughter; it was too comical~.
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore."
After a long while, Brian Fette said seriously, "It's been a month since you resigned from VRED Game Company, what are your plans for the future? Are you going to continue looking for a job, or start a game company? Of course, whatever you do, I'll support you."
"Thank you."
At this moment, John Vechey, usually unreliable, felt deeply moved.
To be a friend to Brian Fette's extent is truly rare in the world.
Three years ago, John and Brian were both students at Purdue University. Brian Fette was even a genius in Purdue University's computer science department, ranking first for two consecutive years. However, when John proposed dropping out and creating games, Brian, as a friend and computer science genius, agreed without any hesitation.
How many people would go to such lengths for a friend as Brian Fette did?
Very few!
Extremely rare!
"I plan to start a game company, our own game company!" John Vechey said firmly.
"Do you have any money now?" Brian Fette asked.
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over him.
John spread his hands, his face full of bitterness, "I have no money!"
Hearing this, Brian immediately slapped his forehead.
A penny can stump a Hero; without money, everything is nonsense.
Once upon a time, John and Brian were also well-off.
Soon after dropping out of Purdue University, they created a board game and quickly earned 45,000 U.S. dollars. Later, they sold the game rights and received another 100,000 U.S. dollars in one go.
At that time, John was only 19 years old.
This speed of making money was no less surprising than winning the lottery in later generations!
However, within just two months, they indulged in lavish spending every day and quickly squandered this sum of over 100,000 U.S. dollars.
Now they have no money, serves them right!
They want to start a game company, but without money, there's no way!
For a while, John and Brian were greatly worried.
"Hahaha!!!"
Just then, Jason Kapalka, their friend and former Apple computer engineer, rushed in excitedly.
"Guys, our chance has come!"
"Just now, I received a call from Mr. Kyle Page's assistant. The famous Golden Dawn Entertainment Group is setting up a game company and is inviting us to join as chief designers."
As Jason Kapalka finished speaking.
John and Brian were immediately dumbfounded.
Brian asked in shock, "Are you sure it's Mr. Kyle Page's company, and not a scammer?"
Jason Kapalka immediately retorted, "Buddy, don't forget I used to be a computer engineer at Apple, and I've met Mr. Kyle Page."
