Chapter 699
"How far has the game been done? Can I play it?" Qiu Hong asked.
Jiang Fan hesitated for a moment, but nodded: "Of course."
Then, he went to his computer to open the semi-finished "Office Worker Survival Manual" and handed it over to Qiu Hong for experience.
Jiang Fan is still a little confused.
Because the game "Office Worker Survival Manual" has not been very complete so far. As a cultivation game, if you only play part of the content, you will not understand the core gameplay and fun of the game.
Even if there are existing content, the fun will be greatly reduced. After all, the game is a unified whole.
However, since Qiu Hong wants to play, he can't refuse.
If you only describe the game, it is actually very empty and you have to play it before you can experience the fun.
If you have ppt, it is better than saying it, and if you have a demo, it is better than ppt.
Therefore, Jiang Fan could only bite the bullet and let Qiu Hong play, sit aside and stare at him. Once there is a bug or the play reaches an unfinished place, he will dictate it to make up for it.
Qiu Hong began to experience the game seriously.
This is a cultivation game based on the perspective of ordinary office workers. The art materials of the game are basically 2D content. While the attribute development and plot promotion, some interesting small gameplay are also added.
However, there are indeed many bugs in the game, temporary art resources, unfinished plot content and gameplay, etc., and the game experience is not good.
Jiang Fan, who was explaining next to him, couldn't help but explain while wiping the sweat on his forehead.
There is no way, the person who gives the money is the uncle!
Jiang Fan did not dare to take it lightly at all. If Mr. Qiu was dissatisfied with him somewhere, and Mr. Qiu would not invest money, wouldn’t it be a big problem?
Now the studio's funds can last for more than a month. Judging from the current situation, this time and funding are definitely not enough to make a complete game.
If you can't get Mr. Qiu's investment, the studio may have to drink Northwest Wind for a while. And if the game is not completed enough and the sales volume is not good, it means you lose all your money and lose all your efforts.
For most game manufacturers, game releases are a one-time deal.
If the game is popular when it is released, as long as you don’t commit suicide and steadily update and optimize it, you will make more and more money;
If the game is released, no matter how much optimization or modification is made in the future, players may not necessarily buy it.
Those who are constantly adjusting and reversing their reputation are extremely rare.
After all, no one can tell whether the game fails because the game is not completed enough or because the game itself is not good?
Continuing to invest resources for a failed project is too high, and few manufacturers dare to gamble like this.
This is the case when a penny stumps a hero.
So in a sense, Qiu Hong’s money today can really determine the future fate of the Office Workers’ Survival Manual and even Cherry Studio.
Qiu Hong thought seriously while experiencing the game.
His previous development experience was basically Krypton gold online games, but he still had the ability to appreciate stand-alone games.
In his opinion, this game has a certain possibility of success, but the possibility is not very high.
Because of this game mechanism, I have never seen it much before.
This game itself is a cultivation game, but it is different from the cultivation games on the market. It is mixed with some interesting small gameplay as a adjustment.
What touched Qiu Hong even more was that the description of the state of "social animals" in the game is really just right. It looks playful on the surface, but if you savor it carefully, you can feel a little bitterness.
Obviously, Jiang Fan added his feelings when he was working before, otherwise his description of the status of the social animals would not be so empathetic.
This project seems to meet Mr. Pei’s requirements perfectly!
If you want to say that this project is not reliable, the game is quite interesting, very novel, and although the completion is low, it has a big show. Producer Jiang Fan himself has had successful independent game experience;
If you want to say that this project is reliable, Jiang Fan changed jobs to make games by a lawyer, and the other three are not serious planning backgrounds. The innovation of gameplay is also accompanied by great risks, and it is really not possible to adapt to the current player tastes;
Moreover, the funding for this project is now short of funds, and it can be said that it is almost at the end of its journey.
Isn’t this perfectly qualifying for the “Dead Path Plan”?
Thinking of this, Qiu Hong didn't plan to continue playing, and said directly: "Yes, this project is very consistent with the standards of the 'end-to-door plan', we decided to invest!"
"How much money do you think it will take to achieve 100% completion of this project while maintaining its current level?"
Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, and he didn't feel anything after a while.
Is this a decision to pay?
Is this too bright?
From the beginning to now, it hasn't been half an hour!
When other investors come to invest, they talk about it first and can't get into the topic for a long time. When it comes to negotiations, there are still many additional terms to bargain, which makes people tired.
As a result, after Mr. Qiu came, he just chatted for a few minutes and experienced the game for more than ten minutes. During this period, he encountered various crashes and bugs, so he decided to vote directly?
Jiang Fan couldn't help but get excited. After thinking carefully, he said, "Mr. Qiu, with the current completion rate, another 400,000 should be enough!"
Qiu Hong nodded: "Okay, then we invest 500,000 yuan to ensure that this game can be made without any mistakes!"
"But there are two requirements."
"First, this game must be bought out and paid, and there is no in-app purchase."
"Second, after this game is launched, it will have sales, recover costs and start making money. We have to share the share according to the investment ratio. According to the investment ratio... we will get 30%.
Jiang Fan couldn't help but be stunned: "That's all?"
Qiu Hong nodded: "That's all, otherwise?"
Jiang Fan asked in confusion: "What if the game was not successful? Even the initial cost of 600,000 yuan was not recovered?"
Qiu Hong said: "After you recovered the 600,000 yuan you invested, we will share the money you earn. If you don't make money, we will not take any penny."
Jiang Fan was speechless for a moment.
This is too bright, right? Isn’t this equivalent to giving away money for nothing?
Previously, other investment companies asked not only for sharing, but many of them asked Cherry Studio's shares, and even had excessive demands on Jiang Fan's joint and several liability.
When Mr. Qiu compares with these companies, he is simply leading a good person!
Wouldn't Cherry Studio not lose money if this investment of 500,000 yuan?
If the game does not recover the cost and Mr. Qiu doesn’t take any money, the 500,000 yuan will be given away for free; if the game makes money, Mr. Qiu will only be divided into 30%, and Cherry Studio will definitely make more money by then.
The conditions were so good that Jiang Fan couldn't even believe it.
Qiu Hong smiled and said, "Anyway, you should consider this condition carefully. Are there any problems?"
Jiang Fan nodded quickly: "Of course there is no problem! But Mr. Qiu... your conditions are really good, I can't believe it..."
"Are you doing charity?"
Qiu Hong smiled: "This is not my condition, but my boss' condition."
"In fact, these regulations were set in advance, including what kind of companies should be funded, how to share them after making a profit, etc.."
"I just did things as he asked."
"Strictly speaking, he is the initiator of the 'The End of the Road' and the real person to pay for it."
"Your studio just meets the requirements he requires. If you want to thank me, thank my boss."
For some reason, after hearing Qiu Hong's words, Jiang Fan suddenly felt like a spring breeze and felt warm in his heart.
This feeling is like a person who has been walking in the snow for a long time and suddenly got a cotton coat.
It is actually very lonely to make independent games. With these limited staff, they are modifying endless bugs in the game every day, and they are no longer able to complete the game. Whether it is other peers, game channel dealers or investors, they basically cannot provide any help.
When playing independent games, it is basically a way to go.
Most independent game studios are silently disbanded as they are done, and they will not be known at all. Those who can succeed, make money and fulfill their dreams are extremely rare.
But now, the "Finished Road Plan" makes Jiang Fan feel that he is not alone.
Someone still lends a helping hand and helps silently!
Jiang Fan was deeply moved and asked, "Mr. Qiu, can you ask who your boss is?"
Qiu Hong smiled slightly: "Sorry, I can't say this, I must keep it secret. But our boss is indeed a very famous person in the gaming circle, and you probably have heard of it."
Jiang Fan was stunned again.
Do good deeds without leaving a name for yourself? Is there such a high level of thought?
Logically speaking, the "Zhoutu Plan" is said to be an investment, but in fact it is almost the same as support, and it is mostly a loss of a lot of money.
Since it's not for money, it's probably for a good reputation.
But this big guy is not just for money or reputation, and he is really doing good things simply to support the development of domestic independent games?
What a noble sentiment and broad mind!
There are many big shots in the domestic gaming circle, so Jiang Fan cannot be sure who it is, but he is completely impressed by this big shot.
Qiu Hong stood up and said, "If there is no problem, I will go back and prepare the contract. After the contract is signed, I will immediately pay the money."
Everyone in Cherry Studio stood up one after another: "Okay, Mr. Qiu, we must prepare the "Office Worker Survival Manual"!"
Qiu Hong nodded with a smile, then left the Cherry Studio.
For some reason, he had a very wonderful feeling.
It seems that what he is doing now is more meaningful than what he has done in previous years.
Seeing these young people from Cherry Studio, Qiu Hong recalled himself many years ago.
Just as full of energy, the same pursuit of dreams.
However, these young people are much luckier than themselves.
If I had received funding from the Nuotu Program, would I continue to persist in the field of stand-alone games?
Qiu Hong sighed and went to the next game studio to inspect again.
Chapter completed!
