Chapter 699: Charcoal in the snow

"What is the current level of the game? Can I play it?" Qiu Hong asked.
Jiang Fan hesitated a little, but nodded. "Of course."
After that, he went to his computer and opened the semi-finished "Worker's Survival Manual" and gave it to Qiu Hong to experience it.
Jiang Fan is still a little tangled.
Because the game "Survival Manual for Office Workers" hasn't been very complete so far. As a training game, if you only play part of the content, you can't experience the core gameplay and fun.
Even 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.
The description of the game is actually quite empty, and you have to play it to get the fun.
A ppt is better than a talk, and a deo is better than a ppt.
Therefore, Jiang Fan can only make Qiu Hong play hard, sitting on his side and staring. Once there is a bug or playing to an unfinished place, he will make up for it verbally.
Qiu Hong began to experience the game seriously.
This is a training game from the perspective of ordinary office workers. The game's art materials are basically 2d content. Some interesting gadgets are added while the attributes are developed and the plot is promoted.
It's just that there are indeed many bugs, temporary art resources, unfinished plot content and gameplay, etc., and the game experience is not good.
Jiang Fan, who was explaining next to it, could not help but wipe the sweat on his forehead while explaining.
No way, the person giving the money is the uncle!
Jiang Fan didn't dare to take it lightly. In case something was dissatisfied with President Qiu and President Qiu did not invest any money, wouldn't it be a big problem?
Now the studio's funds can support 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 do n’t get Qiu ’s investment, then the studio may have to drink the northwest wind for a while, and if the game ’s completion is not enough, the sales will not work.
For most game manufacturers, the game sale is a hammer sale.
If the game is on sale, as long as the follow-up does not die, and it is steadily updated and optimized, the more you earn, the more you will earn;
If the game is cold, the players will not necessarily buy it even if it is optimized or modified in the future.
With continuous tuning to reverse the word of mouth, those are very few.
After all, no one can tell, whether the game failed because the game is not complete enough, or because the game itself is not good?
To continue to invest resources for a failed project, this risk is too high, and few manufacturers dare to bet on it.
This is the case when the so-called penny beats the hero.
So in a sense, Qiu Hong's money today can really determine the future destiny of the "Office Worker Survival Manual" and even the cherry studio.
Qiu Hong thought hard while experiencing the game.
His previous development experience is basically krypton gold online games, but he still has some appreciation for stand-alone games.
In his opinion, this game has a certain possibility of success, but the possibility is not very great.
Because of this game mechanic, I haven't seen it before.
The game itself is a development game, but it is not the same as the development game on the market, which is mixed with some interesting small gameplay as a transfer.
What made Qiu Hong feel more touched was that the description of the status of "social animal" in the game is really just right. It seems to be joking on the surface, but if you taste it carefully, you can feel a bit bitter.
Obviously, Jiang Fan added his previous work experience, otherwise the depiction of the state of the social animal cannot be so empathetic.
This project seems to perfectly meet the requirements of President Pei!
To say that this project is not reliable, the game is quite interesting, very novel, and although the completion is low, but the big shelf is already there, and the producer Jiang Fan himself once had successful independent game experience;
To say that this project is reliable, Jiang Fan was a lawyer who jumped to work on the game, and the other three people were not serious planners. The innovation of gameplay is also accompanied by a lot of risks, and it may not necessarily adapt to the tastes of current players. ;
Moreover, the funding of this project is already stretched, it can be said that it is almost at the end of the road.
Isn't this perfect to meet the requirements of the "Bad Plan"?
Thinking of this, Qiu Hong did not plan to continue to play, and directly said, "Yes, this project is very in line with the standards of the" Poor Path Project ", we decided to vote!"
"Do you think that under the premise of maintaining the current level, how much capital is needed to achieve 100% completion of this project?"
Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment.
Did you decide to give money?
This is too open, right?
From the beginning to the present, half an hour has not passed yet!
Other investors come to invest in the first place, and they can't get into the topic for a long time. When it comes to talking about contracts, they have to add a lot of additional terms and bargaining, which is very tiring.
As a result, after President Qiu came, he only chatted a few words and experienced the game for more than ten minutes. During the period, he also encountered various crashes and bugs. So he decided to vote directly?
Jiang Fan couldn't help but get excited. After careful consideration, he said, "General Qiu, with the current degree of completion, another 400,000 should be almost the same!"
Qiu Hong nodded. "Okay, then we have invested 500,000 here to ensure that this game can be made without any compromise!"
"But there are two requirements."
"First, this game must insist on buying out and paying, there must not be any in-app purchases."
"Second, after this game goes online, there will be sales, costs will be recovered, and money will start to be made. We will divide it according to the proportion of investment. If it is based on the proportion of investment ... we take 30%.
Jiang Fan couldn't help but stunned. "That's all?"
Qiu Hong nodded. "That's all, otherwise?"
Jiang Fan wondered, "What if the game is unsuccessful? Even the initial cost of 600,000 yuan can't be recovered?"
Qiu Hong said, "After recovering the cost of 600,000 yuan you invested, we only divided the money we earned, and we didn't take any money if we didn't make money."
Jiang Fan was speechless for a while.
Isn't this too open? Does n’t this mean giving away money for nothing?
Previously, other investment companies required more than just a share. Many of them required the shares of Cherry Studio, and even excessive ones. They wanted Jiang Fan to be jointly and severally liable.
Qiu always compares with these companies, that is to bring good people!
This investment of half a million yuan, is it not that Cherry Studio will not lose money here?
If the game does not recover the cost, President Qiu will not take any penny, which is equivalent to giving away 500,000. If the game makes money, President Qiu will only get 30%, and the Cherry Studio will definitely earn more.
The conditions were so good that Jiang Fan couldn't even believe it.
Qiu Hong smiled and said, "In short, you should carefully consider this condition, is there any problem."
Jiang Fan nodded hurriedly. "Of course it's alright! But Mr. Qiu ... Your condition is so good, I can't believe it ..."
"Are you doing charity?"
Qiu Hong smiled. "This is not my condition, but my boss's condition."
"In fact, these rules were set by him in advance, including what kind of company should be funded, how to split after making profits, etc."
"I just acted according to his request."
"Strictly speaking, he is the initiator of the" Poor Path Project "and the person who really pays for it."
"Your studio just meets the requirements of him. If you want to thank, thank my boss."
Somehow, after listening to Qiu Hong's words, Jiang Fan suddenly felt like a spring breeze, and his heart was warm for a while.
This feeling, like a person walking for a long time in the snow field, suddenly got a cotton coat.
Making independent games is actually very lonely. With these limited manpower, we are constantly modifying bugs in the game every day. It is far from the completion of the game. Whether it is other peers, game channel providers or investors, basically give Without any help.
Playing an independent game is basically a black road.
Most independent game studios are silently disbanded when they are doing it, and they will not be known at all. Those who can achieve success, make money and complete their dreams are very few.
But now, the "Bad Plan" makes Jiang Fan feel that he is not alone.
Some people still help out and help in silence!
Jiang Fan was deeply moved and asked, "General Qiu, can you ask which one is your boss?"
Qiu Hong smiled slightly. "I'm sorry, I can't say this, to be kept secret. But our boss is indeed a very famous person in the game circle, most of you have heard of it."
Jiang Fan was stunned again.
Don't name a good thing? Is the state of mind so high?
It stands to reason that the "Poor Path Plan" is an investment, and in fact it is almost the same as the support. Most of them will lose a lot of money.
Since it is not for money, it is mostly for good reputation.
But this big man is neither good for money nor fame, is he simply doing good deeds? Support the development of domestic independent games?
What a noble feeling, how broad-minded!
There are a lot of big guys in the domestic game circle, so Jiang Fan can't determine who it is, but he has been completely convinced by this big guy.
Qiu Hong stood up. "If there is no problem, I will go back and prepare the contract. After the contract is signed, I will immediately make the payment."
Everyone at Cherry Studio got up "Good Qiu ~ EbookFREE.me ~ We must give the" Office Worker Survival Handbook "!"
Qiu Hong smiled and nodded, then left from Cherry Studio.
Somehow, he had a wonderful feeling.
It seems that what he is doing now is more meaningful than what he did in previous years.
Seeing these young people in Cherry Studio, Qiu Hong recalled himself many years ago.
The same is full of energy, the same pursuit of dreams.
However, this group of young people are much luckier than themselves.
If I had been funded by the poor game plan, would I continue to stick to the field of stand-alone games?
With great emotion, Qiu Hong went to the next game studio to be inspected again.
