Chapter 3 Obtaining copyright and trying out the game

When William arrived at the Copyright Office, he said to the receptionist, "Hello, my name is William Devonshire. I have made an appointment by phone the day before yesterday."

The receptionist checked the booklet and said, "Hello, Mr. Devonshire, please follow me."

After following the receptionist to submit various materials, he copied the game story and game design manuscripts three times according to the staff's requirements. The first draft and the copy were stamped with the seal of the Copyright Office, and his name and handprint were signed.

Two copies of the copy were placed in a file bag and left at the copyright owner, and one copy was kept by William himself. The first draft was also sealed and stamped. According to the advice of Katie, who heard that he was coming and came to see him, he went to the post office to mail it to himself.

The advantage of doing this is that if a copyright dispute occurs, he can take out the unopened mail with the seals of the Copyright Office and the Post Office, which will be more advantageous in the lawsuit.

Since it is an original story and design, with Katie's help, the copyright can be reviewed in 3 days.

During the three days of waiting for copyright registration, William, who had been busy for more than 20 days, strolled around the school this afternoon, thinking about how to promote the business, and unknowingly walked outside the school's stadium.

Watching the game with only a dozen spectators, he was in a good mood and suddenly thought that it was not good to test magic on people,

so he put it on the football after it was kicked, the flight trajectory would be erratic, and it would be more difficult to accurately predict the impact point.

Moreover, mental power and the magician's hand are invisible magic, so when the ball flew to the goal, William, who was casually strolling near the goal, used a magician's hand on the football, and the flight trajectory of the ball suddenly deviated slightly.

After several experiments in succession, he was soon driven out of the vicinity of the goal by the unhappy goalkeeper as a jinx.

At lunch the next day, he met a school bully from the school rowing team who had bullied him before.

This guy was talking and laughing with a beautiful woman while holding a plate. William saw the opportunity and raised his mental power to his right hand, and the plate in his hand flew over the beautiful woman's head without any warning.

With a bang, William felt pain for the beauty.

Seeing the beauty covered with juice, holding her head and looking confused, the first reaction of the old man was to turn around and look behind and around him, trying to find the guy who played a prank on him.

But after turning around, the people around him all avoided him like a plague god and hid far away.

When the beauty who was almost crying in pain came to her senses, she also looked around, but found that there was no one, so she broke up with the school bully without thinking.

Then when the school bully who was chasing the beauty quickly walked, William grabbed his feet with a magic hand, and the school bully fell down immediately.

When he got up, two teeth fell out, and he ran to the school clinic with a mouth full of blood and almost crying.

Seeing the miserable appearance of his enemy, William felt so happy.

This guy had deliberately bumped into him in the park outside the school before, and not only did he not apologize, but he also scolded William for not having eyes.

William rushed up and had a fight with this guy, and then he was beaten up by several people from the rowing team.

He finally got his revenge today, but the only pity is that after the revenge, no one knows that he did it.

But who cares, it is safest to get revenge without getting into trouble.

After eating lunch, he went back to the dormitory and lay on the bed thinking about how to spend the least money to promote the game. He couldn't help but think of Zuckerberg's "Fighting for Death", which was promoted by word of mouth in colleges and universities at the beginning.

Since others can succeed, should I try it myself?

Moreover, this game is still very attractive compared with other games in 2000.

Born early, the life of the game should be longer than in the previous life, and in addition to the stand-alone version, it can also be made into an online mode in the future, designed as a four-corner defense mode according to the model of Warcraft RPG.

William thought it was worth it.

That afternoon, he received a call from Kadi, asking him to get the copyright certificate and pay the remaining fees tomorrow.

The next morning, William left the Copyright Office and threw away the note left by Caddy. Then he looked at the file bag in his hand. He finally completed his first step in this world. Now he had to promote the game.

Back to school, he took a CD with the game printed on it and went to the school's game interest club.

Entertainment is still scarce compared to more than a decade later, so the interest clubs in universities have become the first choice for many people.

Moreover, many students in school take their own games to the game interest club for people to try out, not just to find loopholes in the game, but also for the same purpose as William, hoping to be sought after in school and then promoted by game companies.

Even if they can't reach an agreement with the game company for a while, once the game becomes popular, it won't take long for all the students in universities and middle schools in London to pass on the word and sell a lot.

At that time, the market's reaction can also force the game company to come up for negotiation again.

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one 9!

Pushing open the door of the game group, William looked over and saw more than 30 computers sponsored by computer manufacturers in the 90-square-meter room.

Dozens of students were either playing games in front of the computers or writing and drawing on the blackboard, discussing something, and even quarreling from time to time.

As a student of the computer department, and with the game work some time ago, it is impossible that no news had been spread, so when William was holding a CD in his hand, people who knew him would know that the game was ready.

A thin and tall white rolled hair, when he saw him, he shouted loudly: "Hey, guys, see who is here, isn't this our genius William Devinhill?

Take the game you made, let's see what the game made by geniuses is different from what our ordinary people do? "

After turning his eyes, he scolded William who did not choose a good day, and did not intend to respond to the rolling words of speaking at all.

If you listen to this guy, he can pull you to say that the last hour will not be repeated. What is even more speechless is that this guy is not self -knowledge, too much, and everyone does not care about him.

I thought I was not your father. Why do you see it if you say it? There is no energy at all. No wonder no one loves you.

Richard Dek, who has a good relationship with William, also look at the rolling hair.

Richard pushed Woolians and said to William: "Gong, don't care about this guy, he will ask us when no one speaks to him."

William shrugged and said with a smile to Richard: "Come and see the game I make, I think you will like it."

Knowing that the computer here is a computer that cannot be re -engraved. William pulled Richard to the computer he had just played, inserted into a CD and copied the game into the computer.

After installing the game, let the position give Richard. When the game started the game, William deliberately said the game setting with a loud voice. As a result, many people came around as he thought.
