To become the richest man from the beginning of the game

Chapter 698 Sending charcoal in the snow

"How far is the game so far? Can you let me play it?" Qiu Hong asked.

Jiang Fan hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Of course."

Then, he opened the semi-finished "Survival Manual for Office Workers" on his computer, and handed it to Qiu Hong to experience.

Jiang Fan was still a little tangled.

Because the game "Survival Worker Survival Manual" is still not very complete so far. As a developmental game, if you only play part of the content, you will not understand the core gameplay and fun of the game at all.

Even if it is the existing content, the fun will be greatly reduced, after all, the game is a unified whole.

However, since Qiu Hong wanted to play, it was impossible to refuse.

If the game is just described, it is actually very empty. You have to play it to experience the fun.

Having a PPT is better than dry talk, and having a DEMO is also better than PPT.

Therefore, Jiang Fan still had no choice but to bite the bullet and let Qiu Hong play, while he sat and stared at it, and if there were bugs or unfinished parts in the game, he would dictate to make up for it.

Qiu Hong began to experience the game seriously.

This is a development game from the perspective of ordinary office workers. The art materials of the game are basically 2D content. While developing attributes and advancing the plot, some interesting small gameplays are also added.

It's just that there are indeed many bugs, temporary art resources, unfinished plot content and gameplay, etc. in the game, and the game experience is not good.

Jiang Fan, who was explaining next to him, couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead while explaining.

No way, the person who gave the money is the uncle!

Jiang Fan did not dare to take it lightly. If Mr. Qiu was dissatisfied with a certain place and Mr. Qiu did not invest money, wouldn't that be a big problem?

Now the studio's funds can support it for more than a month. Judging from the current situation, this time and funds are definitely not enough to make a complete game.

If you can't get Mr. Qiu's investment, then the studio may have to drink the northwest wind for a while, and if the game is not completed enough, the sales will not be good, and it will lose everything and fall short.

For most game makers, game releases are a one-shot deal.

If the game becomes popular when it is released, as long as you don’t die and update and optimize it steadily, you will earn more and more money;

If the game goes cold after its release, no matter how optimized and modified it is in the future, players may not necessarily buy it.

There are very few people who reverse word-of-mouth by continuous tuning.

After all, no one can tell whether the failure of the game is because the game is not completed enough, or because the game itself is not good enough?

Continuing to invest resources in a project that has failed is too risky for few manufacturers to take such a gamble.

This is the case of the so-called penny beating a hero.

So in a sense, Qiu Hong's money today can really determine the future fate of "Salary Worker 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 has the ability to appreciate stand-alone games.

In his opinion, this game has a certain possibility of success, but the possibility is not great.

Because of this kind of game mechanism, I really haven't seen it much before.

The game itself is a developmental game, but it is different from the developmental games on the market, with some interesting little gameplays mixed in as adjustments.

What touched Qiu Hong even more was that the description of the state of "community animals" in the game was really just right. It seemed joking on the surface, but a bit of bitterness could be felt if you savor it carefully.

Obviously, Jiang Fan added his own feelings at work, otherwise the description of the state of social animals would not be so empathetic.

This project seems to perfectly meet Mr. Pei's requirements!

To say that this project is unreliable, the game is quite interesting and novel, and although the degree of completion is low, it already has a big shelf, and the producer Jiang Fan himself has had successful independent game experience;

To say that this project is reliable, Jiang Fan is a lawyer who jumped ship to make games, and the other three people are not serious planners, and the innovation of game play is also accompanied by great risks. They may not be able to adapt to the tastes of current players. ;

Moreover, the funds for this project are now stretched, and it can be said that it is almost at the end of the road.

Isn't this perfectly in line with the conditions of the "poor project"?

Thinking of this, Qiu Hong didn't intend to continue playing, and said directly: "Yes, this project is very in line with the standards of the 'Poor Path Project', we decided to vote!"

"How much money do you think is needed to achieve 100% completion of this project under the premise of maintaining the current level?"

Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, but didn't recall it for a while.

So you decide to give money?

This is too bright, right?

From the beginning to the present, not half an hour has passed!

When other investors come to invest, they always talk about it first, and they can't get into the topic for a long time. When it comes to negotiating the contract, they have to add a lot of additional clauses and bargain, which makes people feel tired.

As a result, after Mr. Qiu came, he just chatted a few words, experienced the game for more than ten minutes, and encountered various crashes and bugs during the period, so he decided to vote?

Jiang Fan couldn't help getting excited, and after thinking about it carefully, he said, "Mr. Qiu, based on the current level of completion, another 40 should be enough!"

Qiu Hong nodded: "Okay, then we will invest 50 here to ensure that this game can be made to perfection!"

"But there are two requirements."

"First, this game must insist on buyout payment, and there cannot be any in-app purchases."

"Second, after the game is released online, there are sales, the cost is recovered, and it starts to make money, we have to divide it according to the investment ratio. According to the investment ratio...we get [-]%."

Jiang Fan couldn't help being stunned: "That's all?"

Qiu Hong nodded: "That's all, what else?"

Jiang Fan wondered: "Then what if the game doesn't succeed? Can't even get back the original 60 cost?"

Qiu Hong said: "After recovering the cost of 60 you invested, we will share the money we earn. If we don't make money, we won't take any money."

Jiang Fan was momentarily at a loss for words.

Isn't this too open?Isn't this equivalent to giving away money for free?

Previously, other investment companies didn't just ask for a share, many of them asked for the shares of Cherry Studio, and some even went too far, wanting Jiang Fan to pay joint and several liabilities.

Comparing Mr. Qiu with these companies, he is simply bringing good people!

With an investment of 50 yuan, isn't it possible that Cherry Studio will not lose money?

If the game doesn't recover the cost, Mr. Qiu won't take any money, and the 50 is a free gift; if the game makes money, Mr. Qiu will only get [-]% of it, and Cherry Studio will definitely earn more.

The conditions were so good that Jiang Fan couldn't even believe it.

Qiu Hong said with a smile: "In short, you should carefully consider this condition. Is there any problem?"

Jiang Fan nodded quickly: "Of course it's okay! But Mr. Qiu... your conditions are so good, I can't believe it..."

"Are you doing charity?"

Qiu Hong smiled: "This is not my condition, but my boss's condition."

"Actually, these regulations are all set by him in advance, including what kind of companies should be funded, how to share profits after profits, etc."

"I just did what he asked me to do."

"Strictly speaking, he is the initiator and the person who actually pays for the 'Poor Plan'."

"Your studio just meets the conditions he asked for. If you want to thank me, thank my boss."

For some reason, after listening to Qiu Hong's words, Jiang Fan suddenly felt like a spring breeze, and his heart felt warm.

This feeling is like a person who has been walking in the snow for a long time and suddenly gets a cotton coat.

It is actually very lonely to make an independent game. With these limited manpower, we are constantly modifying bugs in the game every day. The completion of the game is nowhere in sight. Less than any help.

Making independent games is basically a road to darkness.

Most of the indie game studios are silently disbanded after doing what they are doing, they will not be known at all, and those who can achieve success, make money and fulfill their dreams are very few.

But now, the "Poor Road Project" makes Jiang Fan feel that he is not alone.

There are still people who lend a helping hand and silently help!

Jiang Fan was deeply moved and asked, "Mr. Qiu, can I ask who is your boss?"

Qiu Hong smiled slightly: "Sorry, I can't say this, we have to keep it secret. But our boss is indeed a well-known person in the game circle, and most of you have heard of it."

Jiang Fan was stunned again.

Do good deeds without leaving a name?Is the realm of thought so high?

It stands to reason that the "Poverty Plan" is said to be an investment, but in fact it is almost the same as support, and most of them will lose a lot of money.

Since it's not for money, it's mostly for reputation.

But this big boss is neither for money nor for fame, but is really doing good deeds?Support the development of domestic independent games?

What a noble sentiment and what a broad mind this must be!

There are quite a few bigwigs in the domestic game circle, so Jiang Fan is not sure who it is, but he has been completely convinced by this bigwig.

Qiu Hong stood up: "If there is no problem, I will go back and prepare the contract. After the contract is signed, I will make the payment immediately."

Everyone in Cherry Studio stood up one after another: "Okay Mr. Qiu, we must finish the "Survival Handbook for Office Workers"!"

Qiu Hong nodded with a smile, and then left from Cherry Studio.

For some reason, he had a very strange feeling.

It seemed that what he was doing now made more sense than what he had done in the past few years combined.

Seeing these young people in Cherry Studio, Qiu Hong recalled himself many years ago.

The same drive, the same pursuit of dreams.

It's just that this group of young people is much luckier than themselves.

If I had also received funding from the Poor Path Project, would I have continued to persist in the field of stand-alone games?

Qiu Hong sighed, and went to the next game studio to investigate.
