After the profound speech, it seems like most of the people are interested in game, last night we got the most active Q&A section that we never had for this 6 month.

似乎大家都对游戏兴趣很大，在深入的演讲过后，昨晚我们迎来了这6个月以来最活跃的提问环节。

Q&A excerpts：
问答摘录：

Q: What are you doing in your company? I mean what exactly is your job?
你在你公司里面是做什么的？我的意思是，你的主要工作是什么？

A: It seems I really doing everything. Designing, proposal, character setting, testing... And also... hum...cleaning.
似乎我真的什么都要做。设计，策划，人物设定，测试等等。还有，呃....清洁...

Q: You said you are working on mobile game, can you show it to us? Can I pick up my phone and try? Dose your game fit every model of the mobile phone?
你说你是做手机游戏的，你可以让我们看一下你们的产品吗？我可以拿我的手机来试试吗？你的游戏能够在所有的手机上面运行不？

A: I already have a video of the game. I can show you now. If you want to play, you can download from WAP. I can not guarantee that our game can work on every mobile. But we will try our best. For now, I can tell most of the mobile can play our game. And also, we are working on iPhone version. You can play our game on your iPhone in 3 months.
我已经准备了游戏的视频，现在就能让你看一下。如果你想玩的话，你可以在手机网站上下载。我不能保证我们的游戏能在所有的手机上都能运行，但我们会尽我们所能去做。不过现在来说，大部分的手机都能玩我们的游戏。而且，我们正在开发iPhone的版本。3个月以后你就能用你的iPhone来玩我们的游戏了。

Q: How long your company spend on the game? How many people you use? For a developer like me, I barely spend time on game. How can you convince me to play your game?
你们公司在这个游戏上花了多长时间？你们动用了多少的人力？对于像我这样的开发者，我很少会去玩游戏。你如何说服我去玩你们的游戏？

A: It is hard to tell how long. But from the idea to product's coming out, we spent almost a year. Our game is a MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online role-playing-games). As I said before, our target is the people who like games. Convincing a people who didn't play games is really difficult. Here is a little advice from you, if you want to play our game. First of all, you can try some casual games. Then you can play on-line game. Finally, you find yourself really like games then you can try to play our game.
很难界定我们用了多长时间。不过从构思到出品，我们用了几乎一年的时间。如我之前所说，我们的目标客户是喜欢玩游戏的人。说服不玩游戏的人来玩是非常困难的事情。如果你想玩的话我有个小小的建议给你。首先你可以试一下玩休闲游戏，然后你可以玩在线游戏。到最后已觉得你真的很喜欢游戏的话，你就可以尝试玩我们的游戏了。

Q: Can you tell me how many players play your game?
你能告诉我有多少人玩你的游戏吗？

A: It is a secret, but I want to share with you. It is about 10,000. Maybe it is a small number like 1% when you compare to the PC game. But for the mobile game, this is a considerable number.
其实这是一个秘密，不过我也可以告诉你。大概有一万吧。这可能对于电脑游戏来说是一个非常小的数字，大概只有百分之一。不过对于手机游戏来说，这是一个非常可观的数字。

Writer's Note
编者手记

According to the scene I met Leslie last night, he is a really shy young man who likes to keep low profile. He came into the restaurant, sat down quietly, set up his laptop and then prepared himself. I didn't notice our speaker was sitting there. Even when he was in the interview, you still can feel the shyness through the camera. How can you imagine he is in charge of the things which can make people have fun?

Under the cover of shyness, there should be some enthusiasm and conscientiousness. They make him succeed.

Christmas Eve！Hope you can have a good day. Merry X'mas!

从我昨晚见到的情景就可以判断Leslie是一个非常腼腆，喜欢低调的年轻人。当时他走进餐厅以后就静静地坐下，然后拿着手提电脑在自己准备。我完全没有意识到我们的演讲者就坐在那里。即使当他在接受访问的时候，你也能从镜头中感觉到他的害羞。你能够想象得到他在经营着让大家能够享乐的事业嘛？

在腼腆下掩盖着的是他的热情和他认真的态度。这是让他成功的重要因素。

今天是平安夜，愿您安好！圣诞节快乐！
