'Hahahahaha, I'm afraid I'm going to tire the old thief to death...'

‘…’

Talk and laugh!

Development of Plants vs. Zombies is in full swing.

Progress is going smoothly in all aspects.

Only classmate Shen Miaomiao seemed to have encountered a little difficulty——

Rebate rate.

Yes.

During the development of the game, Shen Miaomiao had been considering whether to increase the rebates and extend the time for this game.

If it is raised, how high should it be raised?

Although in theory, this little game is beneficial to her regardless of profit or loss.

but!

Shen Miaomiao also wanted to expand her own interests as much as possible on a favorable basis!

The reason why she was so entangled was because she couldn't predict the market response to this game.

For her!

There are only two outcomes in a game - loss and profit.

If the game loses money, the small treasury will make a profit; if the game makes money, the small treasury will lose money.

If "Plants vs. Zombies" is like "Escape", players will expect the sound to be hot, and industry insiders will praise it!

There is no doubt that it will be profitable nine times out of ten.

Shen Miaomiao did not need to worry about it, she could just increase the multiplier to one hundred and use it as a multiplier tool, without thinking about getting a rebate on this project.

But the problem is!

The popularity of "Plants vs. Zombies" is embarrassing right now.

Call it popular, but it's not as popular as "Escape", which has as many players, and it's not recognized by many industry leaders.

You can say it is not popular, but it has gained some market discussion thanks to the publicity of Yiyou and the company's reputation.

And the reviews in the industry are also average.

At least the members of Steel Chain Finger were not optimistic about this project at first.

Regardless of the style or gameplay, it does not conform to the trend of today's market.

Even saying something unpleasant.

If this game was not produced by Gu Sheng, it is estimated that this game would never have been approved as a project.

That is to say!

"Plants vs. Zombies" may lose money.

Considering this situation, it is very important for Shen Miaomiao to determine the rebate rate of this document!

I looked at the documents that have not yet been locked——

[Main project: Plants vs. Zombies (unlocked)]

[Project investment amount: 1.15 million U.S. dollars]

[Project settlement time: 7 days (+0 days)]

[Project rebate rate: 10 times (+0 times)]

[Current revenue amount: 00,000 U.S. dollars]

[Estimated rebate amount: 11.5 million knives]

[Remaining settlement time: waiting to be opened]

Since this is an overseas game, the local currency generated for this document has also been converted into U.S. dollars accordingly.

Yes, this is a ‘little game’ worth 1.15 million knives, which is equivalent to about 8 million in domestic currency.

This was unimaginable before Golden Wind.

To know!

When they produced "Vampire Survivor" three years ago, the cost was only 200,000 yuan!

Now, just three years have passed.

When they participated in the Small Game Festival as their flagship again, the game production cost had been raised to 8 million, a full 40 times increase.

Such a terrifying cost explosion is due to Shen Miaomiao's long-standing outsourcing policy of "asking for the most expensive" outsourcing policy, as well as her continuous upgrades and adjustments to the salaries of employees within the company.

Now, the salary of Golden Wind's internal staff has basically reached the first-tier level in China and even Asia. The next step is to benchmark it against Europe and the United States on the other side of the ocean.

When it comes to outsourcing, whether it’s programming, art, or even music, they are looking for production by T1-level outsourcing teams at home and abroad, and the prices are impressive.

Facts have proved that the high investment policy that Shen Miaomiao has always adhered to is also very correct.

Because if the game is still made according to the original specifications, judging from the current influence of Golden Wind, she should not worry about it. This game will definitely make money.

But now, with the increase in costs, the cost price is as high as 1.15 million U.S. dollars, giving her hope of losing money within the specified time.

With a cost of 1.15 million U.S. dollars, after deducting commission, the total sales turnover needs to be about 1.54 million U.S. dollars.

Based on their pricing of $2 per copy, a total sales volume of $1.54 million means that "Plants vs. Zombies" needs to sell 770,000 units in a single week!

Is there hope or is it a loss?

Of course!

Although the previous "To the Moon" once created a sales miracle of 1.7 million units in a single week!

But don’t forget!

This miracle was created with the support of many super BUFFs such as Yiyou’s super publicity, China Entertainment’s all-powerful platform, charity attribute bonuses, and official praise at the end!

But now, "Plants vs. Zombies" has neither an official website nor a charity bonus, and even the promotion of the game is not as strong as the charity week activities at that time.

It is basically impossible to recreate the miracle of going to the moon.

Let alone 770,000 units in a single week, 500,000 units in a single week is already a sales miracle for a small game.

After all, the "Kitchen" they released last year sold more than 200,000 units in a single week.

Even if you double it and sell 400,000 units in a single week, there is still nearly half the gap from 770,000 units.

Think of this!

Shen Miaomiao nodded secretly.

Slightly move the settlement time slider to change the [Project Settlement Time] from [7 days (+0 days)] to [7 days (+5 days)]

Correspondingly, naturally, the item [project rebate rate] has changed from [10 times (+0 times)] to [10 times (+5 times)]

The more rebates you get, the better.

Shen Miaomiao was very satisfied and had no great expectations or psychological pressure.

after all!

For her, this document is just a play!

Losing money within 12 days is great! She can expand her small treasury a little!

It’s okay to make no losses within 12 days! She can use this as the main document to continue to extend sub-projects!

In the true sense, ‘You may make a profit, but I will never lose’!!!

The document is now formed!

The most stress-free order in history!

locking!
