Chapter 6 Funds are running out
There are still more than three months before the time stipulated in the mission, and this is also the second month since Chuhe came to this world.

Sitting in the office, Chuhe watched the front-end success Xu Chang showed during this period.

After about a month, he worked overtime every day until 12 o'clock, and even asked Chuhe to take the initiative to come overtime on Sundays. The progress of the whole project can be said to be very fast.

Although Tao Fa and Ye Xun are newcomers who have just graduated, under the guidance of Zhang Liang and Wang Tao, coupled with their private study, they have made rapid progress.

As for the rewards obtained in this way, it is the five members of the front-end group, Chuhe announced that all of them will become full-time members one month in advance.

"The performance of the combat effect is a bit stiff, and the smooth effect is not as expected. The optimization and modification will be completed quickly. Xuchang has experienced the Thunder Blade in terms of combat effects. I think you should have a standard in your heart. , I will not make detailed requirements." Chuhe experienced it and said to everyone.

Hearing Chuhe's words, the expressions on the faces of the excited people also became serious.

"However, keep in mind that this is a page game, and the project is defined as an action role-playing game, but the real combat performance effect, I don't need you to make it really perfect, because it takes time, and what we lack is Time, for web games, it is very important to improve the quality as soon as possible, and then go online." Chu He said to the crowd.

To put it bluntly, web games are made for money, and there is no conscience at all.A complete assembly line product, in order to be able to announce it to the public as soon as possible. Although the web games in this world tend to be hardcore, and even some online games that do not belong to the previous world, the original intention of their development is to make quick money, otherwise why not just develop it? Online games?

But it was this kind of hard-core browser game that made Chuhe see hope and decided to develop a browser game, because gamers in this world still don't know what those people who play browser games need!
After looking at the test version submitted in front of him, Chuhe tried it out, and he already knew it.

It can be said that this is already a 7% finished product. The main problem is still in the combat performance. As for other character interfaces, talent interfaces, pet interfaces, and chatting and making friends, the games on the market are basically gone. As for this aspect, Chuhe is not arrogant to think that he can really make a design that subverts them.

At least it is absolutely impossible on page games.

The remaining equipment numerical planning, dungeon level design, and mall payment design are all done by Chuhe himself.

As long as the combat part is perfected, the first wave of internal testing can be released.

After letting them go back to work, Chu He leaned on the chair, closed his eyes and rubbed gently.

"This funding is really not enough. The personnel cost in the first month alone has reached nearly 50. When the product is completed and the follow-up costs, as well as expenditures on outsourcing resources, will only be about 400 million by then." Chuhe rubbed his head with some headaches.

The cost of outsourcing art resources is not as high as imagined. Chuhe contacted a well-known outsourcing team in the industry. The price is 1200 yuan a day. What really makes Chuhe headache is that the follow-up publicity of this money may be true. Not enough.

For web games, publicity is even more important than the quality of the game itself.

"Forget it, I'll watch it then, if it's not possible, I can only sell my house." Chuhe Mo sighed in his heart.

As for whether anyone will buy the house at that time, Chuhe is not worried.

After all, the location of the house in Huangpu District is not bad, and the house is not bad, and now that the house price is getting higher and higher, people will come to ask if I put it up. The people in the room can break through the threshold.

For some people, time passes very slowly, but for Chuhe, he feels that time passes too fast.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the end of May.

It has been 2 months since the project of Legend of the Red Moon was established, and it is also only about 2 months before the time limit for the task.

But the good news is that the current progress of Legend of the Red Moon has entered the first phase of testing.

In addition to continuing to improve and add new pets, tasks, equipment and other related systems every day, they also began to conduct internal testing of the project to find out the corresponding bugs in the game.

Fortunately, there are Wang Tao and Zhang Liang who have experience in web game development before, and both of them can quickly find out the cause of many bugs that appear in the test. It will never be that easy.

This also made Chuhe feel a little lucky. Fortunately, when the campus was recruiting, those few people did not take a fancy to his company, otherwise the progress of the project would never be so fast.

As fresh graduates, Tao Fa and Ye Xun, Chuhe is also very satisfied with their performance. Although they lack work experience, they often work overtime until early in the morning before going back to bed in terms of work attitude. Because of this desperate attitude, their work progress is no slower than Wang Tao and Zhang Liang.

Looking at the game interface handed down by Hongyue on the notebook, Chuhe nodded in satisfaction. Although it was still a bit rough in his eyes, it was enough to be able to do this in such a short period of time.

"The next step is to find an advertising outsourcing company, and then determine the publicity plan at that time." Chu He closed the game, leaning on the chair and thinking in his heart.

Generally large game companies, such as Weibo accounts and public accounts, are maintained by the game's operation department, while the game's marketing department is responsible for advertising and finding agents for hairstyles.

But in the Tianhe network, these departments have not yet been established, so all things fall on the shoulders of Chuhe.

For webpage games, most webpage game companies will choose to find an agent publisher to let the other party publish the game.

The advantage of this is that it can greatly reduce the cost of publicity, and at the same time, there will be special soft articles and online promotion for the game opponent.

But the price is that you need to pay the other party a large amount of commission. Generally, the commission for game publishing agents is between 50% and 60%, and it will be a little higher for the top publishing companies in the industry.

Chuhe didn't intend to find this kind of page game publishing company, not because of the high commission, but because Chuhe knew very well that even if he gave his game to the other party, the final evaluation he got would be an extremely low value , because this game is completely different from the mainstream page games on the market.

In this web game, the experience of krypton gold recharge can occupy a major position. Ordinary players can obtain good equipment and high levels through the daily life of the game, but as long as they recharge, these gaps can be instantly reviewed.

An ordinary player can increase the combat power to 20 after playing for 10000 hours, while a first-rush player can reach this level in just 4 hours.

This is the krypton gold value that web games in the market today can't even imagine. The krypton gold value in the market today is more limited to the appearance.

The second is that Chuhe clearly understands that it is completely impossible to make the legend of the red moon popular with the normal promotion of soft articles and simple online website push, unless a miracle happens.

What makes Chuhe confident is that in this world, at least page games have not had the kind of viral marketing methods on earth.
