How far has the game gone so far? Can you let me play with it? Qiu Hong asked.

Jiang Fan hesitated slightly, but still nodded: "Of course you can." ”

Then, he went to his computer to open the half-finished "Office Worker Survival Handbook", and then handed it to Qiu Hong to experience.

Jiang Fan is still a little entangled.

Because the game "Office Worker Survival Manual" is still not very complete so far, as a development game, if you only play part of the content, you can't experience the core gameplay and fun of the game at all.

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

However, since Qiu Hong wants to play, it is impossible to refuse.

The game is actually very empty if you just describe it, and you have to play it to have fun.

Having a PPT is stronger than doing it, and having a DEMO is also stronger than a PPT.

Therefore, Jiang Fan could only let Qiu Hong play, sit on the side and stare at it, and once there was a bug or the unfinished part of 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.,At the same time, some interesting small gameplay has been added while cultivating attributes and advancing the plot.。

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

Jiang Fan, who was commenting on the side, couldn't help but wipe the sweat on his forehead while explaining.

There's no way, the person who gives the money is an uncle!

Jiang Fan didn't dare to take it lightly, if there was something that made Mr. Qiu dissatisfied and Mr. Qiu didn't invest money, wouldn't it be a big problem?

Now the studio's funds will be able to support it for more than a month, and judging from the current situation, this time and money will definitely not be enough to make the whole 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 completion of the game is not enough, the sales will not be good, and it will be a loss of money and a failure.

For most game manufacturers, game sales are a one-shot deal.

If the game is released and becomes popular, as long as it is not dead and steadily updated and optimized, it will earn more and more;

If the game is released cold, no matter how much it is optimized and modified in the future, players will not necessarily buy it.

Those who have reversed their reputation by virtue of continuous tuning are very few.

After all, no one can say whether the failure of the game is due to the lack of completion of the game, or because the game itself is not good?

The stakes of continuing to invest resources in a project that has already failed are so high that few vendors would dare to gamble on it.

The so-called penny is difficult to defeat the hero, this is the case.

So in a sense, Qiu Hong's money today can really determine the fate of "Office Worker Survival Handbook" and even the future fate of Cherry Studio.

Qiu Hong experienced the game while thinking seriously.

His previous development experience was basically Krypton online games, but he still has the ability to appreciate stand-alone games.

In his opinion, there is a certain possibility of success in this game, but it is not very likely.

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

This game itself is a development game, but it is different from the development games on the market, which is mixed with some interesting little gameplay as a spice.

What touched Qiu Hong even more was that the description of the state of the "social animal" in the game was really appropriate, it looked joking on the surface, but if you taste it carefully, you can feel a trace of bitterness.

Obviously, Jiang Fan added his feelings from his previous work, otherwise the depiction of the state of social animals would not be so empathetic.

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

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

If you want 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 gameplay is also accompanied by great risks, which may not be able to adapt to the tastes of current players;

Moreover, the project is now overstretched, and it can be said that it is almost at the end of its rope.

Isn't that a perfect fit for the "Poor Journey"?

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

"How much money do you think will be needed to achieve 100% completion of this project while maintaining the current level?"

Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, and didn't come back for a while.

So it's decided to give money?

That's too bright, isn't it?

It's not been half an hour since the beginning to the present!

When other investors come to invest, they are all talking about it first, and they can't get into the topic for a long time, and when it comes to negotiating the contract, they have to add a lot of additional terms, bargaining, which makes people 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 flashbacks and bugs during the period, so he directly decided to vote?

Jiang Fan couldn't help but get excited, he thought about it seriously and said, "Mr. Qiu, with the current degree of completion, another 400,000 should be about the same!" ”

Qiu Hong nodded: "Okay, then we will invest 500,000 yuan here to ensure that this game can be made without any mistakes!" ”

"But there are two requirements."

"First, this game must insist on buyout payment, and there can be no in-app purchases."

"Second, when the game is launched, there are sales, costs are recouped and money is started, and we have to share it according to the proportion of investment. According to the proportion of investment...... We take 30%. ”

Jiang Fan couldn't help but be stunned: "That's all?" ”

Qiu Hong nodded: "That's all, otherwise?" ”

Jiang Fan was puzzled: "Then what if the game doesn't succeed?" Can't even recover the cost of the first 600,000? ”

Qiu Hong said: "After recovering the 600,000 costs you invested, we will share the money we make, and we will not take a penny if we don't make money." ”

Jiang Fan was speechless for a while.

Isn't that too bright? Isn't that the same as giving money away for nothing?

In the past, other investment companies wanted more than just shares, many of them asked for shares in Cherry Studio, and even went too far, wanting Jiang Fan to pay joint and several liability.

Mr. Qiu compares with these companies, which is simply a good person!

With this investment of 500,000 yuan, isn't it that Cherry Studios will not lose money?

If the game does not recover the cost, Mr. Qiu will not take a penny, and the 500,000 yuan is equal to giving it away for nothing; If the game makes money, Mr. Qiu's side will only be divided into three percent, and Cherry Studio will definitely earn more at that time.

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

Qiu Hong smiled and said: "In short, you should think about this condition, and there is no problem." ”

Jiang Fan hurriedly nodded: "Of course it's no problem!" However, 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." ”

"In fact, these regulations are all set by him in advance, including what kind of company should be funded, how to share the profits, and so on."

"I'm just doing what he asks."

"Strictly speaking, he is the initiator of the 'Poor Path Project' and the one who really pays for it."

"Your studio just meets the conditions he requires, if you want to thank me, thank my boss."

For some reason, after listening to Qiu Hong's words, Jiang Fan suddenly had a feeling like a spring breeze, and his heart was 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's actually very lonely to make an indie game, just these few limited people, every day to modify the game endless bugs, from the completion of the game is far away, whether it is other peers, game channels or investors, basically can not give any help.

Making an indie game is basically a way to go black.

Most indie game studios are silently disbanded by doing it, and no one knows about it, and there are very few who can achieve success, make money, and fulfill their dreams.

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

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

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

Qiu Hong smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, I can't say this, I have to keep it secret." However, our boss is indeed a well-known person in the gaming industry, and most of you have heard of it. ”

Jiang Fan was stunned again.

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

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

Since it's not for money, it's mostly for a good name.

But this big guy is neither for money nor for fame, is he really just doing good deeds? Supporting the development of domestic indie games?

What a noble feeling, what a broad mind!

There are many bigwigs in the domestic game circle, so Jiang Fan can't be 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 to prepare the contract, and after the contract is signed, I will pay immediately." ”

Everyone in the cherry studio got up one after another: "Okay Mr. Qiu, we must do a good job of the "Office Worker Survival Manual"!" ”

Qiu Hong smiled and nodded, and then left the cherry studio.

For some reason, he had a wonderful feeling.

It seems that what he is doing now is more meaningful than what he has done in previous years combined.

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

The same full of energy, the same chasing dreams.

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

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

Qiu Hong sighed with emotion and went to the next game studio to be investigated.
