Completed Salted Fish's Self-help Strategy

"Damn it

Of course, Yu Wenhui understands that crowdfunding is nothing new, but crowdfunding is more than $6 million? It's equivalent to more than 40 million yuan, which is terrible!

What's the situation? Since the Guochao government standardized crowdfunding in 2014, who can raise so much money in one project with so many crowdfunding projects? What does that mean? It shows that the iron fans of this game are really rich. What's more, the iron fans have no bottom line to believe in the level of the game producer, which shows that although the previous work is on the street, it's the porcelain of the iron circle.

"But why crowdfunding?"

Chuyuanxi said: "this series is a super old series. The first two works were games 20 years ago. Moreover, the R & D cost is huge, the sales volume is very high, and the game company quit. Then the producer of the game, Suzuki Yu, is not as famous as hideko Oshima, but he is also a great master. This game is his obsession. After retirement, he launched crowdfunding and set up a company to do it. Only in this way can he have 3 years of experience. "

Yu wenhuixin said that the $6 million crowdfunding product should be very promising, but why is it so quickly targeted by President Chu? He was puzzled, but it seemed that there was only one answer: "they are on the street again?"

Chu Yuanxi nodded very contentedly, "I like this kind of technology, but the team that makes products to hit the street, look at the expressiveness. It's too difficult for the mature team that makes technology to dig up as a whole."

"How fast is it?"

"More than 10000 copies a week. You have to know that there are more than 60000 people in crowdfunding alone. How far do you have to go Chuyuan was laughing, and his face was very satisfied.

He not only watched the main program of the game, but also personally experienced it. The sense of operation and picture is good, and the experience is really boring. Players actually need to work in the game, otherwise they can't earn the cost of living, and working is a real fight, not a form of click on the past. Daily boring training + work infinite cycle, too much pursuit of truth, true to the point of the degree, this time is not as good as in reality, odd jobs can make some money.

So that chuyuanxi began to doubt life after playing for an hour. What am I doing for such a precious hour? Isn't this game made for the purpose of fighting the street? Did the old man of the island get any money loss system? This game designer wall crack recommends to Pei Zong, guarantees to compensate his mother not to recognize.

Of course, this can't be told to Yu Wenhui, otherwise it's not conducive to the team's kneading. He looked at Yu Wenhui, the other side is very busy, while watching TV while watching mobile phones, distracted two use, but also thinking.

Yu Wenhui doesn't deny that the game is hard-working, but considering the salary level of the islanders, he began to sweat and asked, "but if it's just art, the cost performance of the islanders is still relatively low?" The key is not to hire one or two people, at least a dozen employees. The cost is going against the sky!

"Well, first of all, if these people really come here, their relationship must be linked to the group, and they don't have to bear the costs of" Mediterranean ". You can rest assured. And, you look at this game first. It's an open world game. In other words, the team's ability perfectly covers the needs of the enemy of Rome. "

Zhao Jie's incubation company is called "Gobi network", while Yu Wenhui's is called "Mediterranean game", which seems to pay homage to the program ape. While watching the video, Yu Wenhui searched for "Shamu" on his mobile phone, and then found that Suzuki Yu's main achievements came from the arcade, and the game series of "Shamu" was actually the originator of "open world" games, and it was this island country's game master who first practiced this concept 20 years ago.

Yu Wenhui suddenly understood why chuyuanxi valued this team. Suzuki Yu's team not only had a high level of game expression, but also had sufficient experience and ideas in open world game making. The products also had a strong sense of operation. The enemy of Rome does not pursue the freedom of an open world, but pursues the depth of the scene similar to an open world. As long as the other party does have strong technical ability and let the team do subtraction, the difficulties in R & D are expected to be overcome.

"The enemy of Rome" is a project with many ideas but a little ahead of time. Before that, he led the team to carry out research and development for a while. VR is mainly a technical problem, and the planning of mobile games has always been a headache about how to write a planning case, because a qualified planning and design system document must be designed on the basis that the program ape can achieve, so it is impossible to write it blindly.

However, the realization of these ideas can be seen in the 3A masterpieces in the world theoretically. The problem is that the elephant is put into the refrigerator, which surprised Yu Wenhui, who was still worrying about how to do the project yesterday.

However, he noticed that the R & D cost of "Shamu 1" 20 years ago exceeded 70 million US dollars, which almost laid down a company as big as Sega. This is more creepy.

What's more, the two generations of games have attracted a lot of loyal fans, but they can't be sold. It can be said that it is a severe test for any game company to stand on such a game producer. Sega also withdrew from the host game competition because of the failure of this game. But it is undeniable that Suzuki Yu is still the ace of Sega.

In fact, the concept of open world is really avant-garde, but it's also easy to call it good or not. Yu Wenhui is also a gamer. He often sees others spit up. The game of so and so open world is good everywhere, but it's not fun. As strong as Xiufu Kojima on the altar, the latest masterpiece "death stranded" is also mixed, with mediocre sales.As for "Shamu", he saw that the most artistic thing in the evaluation is that it is not so much a game as a work of art. I don't know whether it's praise or devaluation?

"Mr. Chu, the Suzuki God, seems to be a fan of our Chinese culture? There are a lot of relevant reports. "

"Ah, yes, it should be easier to communicate, but it doesn't matter. We are going to develop European and American Games. Listen to me, Huizi. There's one thing you have to pay attention to. "

Chuyuanxi said, becoming more dignified, "if we really absorb Suzuki Yu's team, you don't have any stage fright, you should give orders, how to communicate, how to communicate, and maintain an equal attitude. You can't just back off and back off just because he's a famous man and you're not, okay? Our own design concept is the first. What we do is our products, not his. What we need is their technology. I'll make that clear to him, too. "

Yu Wenhui said that granddad Suzuki Yu's idea is really not very good. The series that has concentrated his whole life's efforts should be easier to talk about? "But Mr. Chu, I'm curious. What conditions did you offer him? High salary? "

"I haven't talked face to face yet. If I let Knight code the treasure belt, he can provide effective technical support. I will provide him with follow-up development funds to continue to do the" Shamu "series. It's absolutely impossible for him to do "Shamu 4" now, but the laiba people can take out the investment. "

"Cough cough -" Yu Wenhui almost choked with saliva. When he just searched, he saw that the "Shamu" series planned to achieve 11 generations. How many generations has Xianjian been so successful?

Chuyuanxi continued: "to provide him with or without funds depends on the other party's role in our project. It's an equivalent exchange. However, on the other hand, since it is necessary to exchange his technology equivalently, he must have determined the technical framework at the beginning. He nodded. He could do all the requirements in this framework, and then he could talk about the exchange equivalently.

So here comes the specific issues. We have to figure out the technical requirements now. Do you understand? Can't he agree, we started, and then you find that if you don't mention a few requirements, they say they can't do it, and that's the end of it? But in general, they are the forefathers of the open world. We don't need to be fully open. It should be OK.

Finally, I will definitely ask their team as a whole to come to DIDU and do development in the company, so as to really form a team. The cost is a little higher, but our program can be integrated to improve the technical level. There's a reason why domestic game companies don't make 3A blockbusters. On the one hand, game producers, on the other hand, value orientation, and the most important thing is technical ability. The island video game field is decades earlier than us, and it's no big deal to admit the gap.

I don't need to make a product, our level will directly lead the world, but at least we can follow up, maintain and learn other people's advanced methods and processes. This requires you to be selective when recruiting, and try to recruit more flexible, young and good at learning. The current level can be tolerated even if it is a little bit younger. Do you understand the requirement? We can recruit interns. "

This series of requests makes Yu Wenhui tired of taking notes, but it's not difficult. The most difficult thing is recruitment. As for the various demands in the game, because Chu Yuanxi interrupted the development of the project, it was equivalent to leaving him idle for a period of time, so he had a lot of time to think about, and almost thought of all kinds of difficulties. Although he failed to come up with all the solutions, he believed that he was well prepared to put forward the difficulties.

As for the equal treatment of Suzuki Yu, this is really a bit of a test, because the other side has a lot of iron powder, worshiping like the film worship God Ming, and can shed tears when playing a game.

After thinking about these key points one by one, Yu Wenhui was only excited, because he had never fought such a big battle before, and the Italian cannons were already hungry and thirsty!

However, he was caught off guard, because the time was not as chuyuanxi thought. It didn't last until the weekend at all. People gave feedback that afternoon, and the next day it had already come!

So on Tuesday the 26th, chuyuanxi and Yu Wenhui, who are not sure whether they have enough or not, met with Suzuki Yu in the guest room of the Ba people's Association.

Suzuki Yu has been to China many times. He can speak fluent Chinese, which makes Yu Wenhui very surprised. In this way, communication will become very easy. However, as an Islander, the polite process of meeting is very rigorous. Praising the mobile game "out of the mountains in troubled times" is a huge work in the game industry. Praising Yu Wenhui as a young project manager of "out of the mountains in troubled times" is a lot. Praising Chu Yuanxi for his good management is a lot. Chu Yuanxi doesn't know how to praise it

In addition, it may be that knight mabao has described the equity structure and development mode of "next door network" and "Mediterranean game" to his grandfather, so he is obviously very interested in Yu Wenhui.

Fortunately, when chuyuanxi gets down to business, the old man quickly enters the role, and then is surprised, because chuyuanxi starts from cloud game.

"Google's support for cloud Games has set off a bloody storm in our big a shares, but in fact it is totally unreasonable, because the obvious good thing is 3A blockbuster, not mobile games, or even online games, at least it doesn't help the existing online games. In fact, cloud games are just a very normal network experience mode in the 5g era. Mobile phones retain input, output and storage functions, and computing is placed in the cloud, but this function is particularly obvious in games. "Suzuki Yu saw chuyuanxi's intention to make a speech and quickly raised his hand to signal him to stop: "I know cloud games very well. In fact, cloud games are our enemy, whether Nintendo, Sony or Sega."

This sentence shows that the grandfather's understanding is very clear, Chu Yuan Xi nodded in affirmation: "but for a simple console game developers, it is a very good thing."

The host companies are certainly not willing to live in the face of the big wave of cloud games. For example, the switch bar of Ren dolphin, Q3, has sold more than 30 million units in the world. However, after the large-scale implementation of cloud games, it is estimated that even 30000 units can not be sold. Players only need a 5g mobile phone. What 3A blockbuster can't be played?

The advantage of cloud games is that you can turn your home TV or 5g mobile phone into a display terminal of high-quality games, and take the computing that used to require powerful computing power of the host computer to the cloud. In other words, the entire host channel will be destroyed, which is also the logic of the collective Carnival of our big A-share game Stocks - factories that can make big game productions will suddenly become as broad as mobile games in the future.

Two days later, big a shares woke up stuffy, game stocks fell back to the original price, because these game stocks are basically supported by mobile games. When 3A blockbusters become "mobile games" one after another and join the competition against mobile phone users, can the original mobile game products be better? This is a dimension reduction blow, and in the near future, with the popularity of 5g, it will appear soon, first in China, which is the first to popularize 5g.

This is also one of the reasons why Chuyuan Xiken is willing to sell "out of the mountains in troubled times", because his judgment of the game gene is the embodiment of his sensitivity to the game. As for what the buyer thinks, there should be strategic considerations, right?

In the 5g era, games must pay more attention to content, which is not wrong.

Seeing that Suzuki agreed, Yu Wenhui immediately took up the conversation and said, "the game we are going to develop is called the enemy of Rome. The specific way to play it is like this..."

He briefly introduced the main play points and task mechanism of this MMO, as well as the requirements for scene depth, and then described the core combat, "..." In a word, this is the case. The experience in operation should be similar to that in home computers. "

"It's not like that." Chu Yuanxi interrupted directly, "what we want to do is to develop two modes at the same time. One is the conventional mobile game mode. The picture is presented on the mobile phone, and the operation is also completed on the mobile phone screen. The other is the two terminal mode. If the player chooses to cast the screen on the TV, the TV screen will present the game picture, and then use the mobile phone as the handle of the home machine to operate. If players choose to use VR helmet, they will use VR to present their vision, and the mobile phone will act as the handle. What does Mr. Suzuki think of this mode of operation? "

Suzuki Yumei had already begun to imagine when chuyuanxi finished. His eyes slanted up 45 degrees and looked at the sky speechless. He pinched his hands as if he was holding a handle. Then he said: "in this way, the display screen must have a mark that can show the position of the player's left and right hands on the mobile phone screen. It's better to have TV, but it's necessary to have VR. "

"That's right, that's right." Yu Wenhui praised it secretly, but he didn't expect that the old man would break the key point in a word. He is worthy of being the most operational arcade designer.

In fact, under the impact of cloud games, the only possible application scenario of console and home computer's handle operation mode in the future is VR operation. The handle is convex with fixed buttons. Players hold the handle to play the game. The head display only needs to present the game scene, and there is no need to display the virtual operation button.

If chuyuanxi wants to make "the enemy of Rome" into a VR game, the biggest problem is operability. His basic operation mode is to use a helmet mounted display and a mobile phone as the handle for operation, which can adapt to most potential users. Just buy a VR head display, and then connect VR with mobile phone or smart TV via Bluetooth without handle.

But with the head display, you can't see the mobile phone screen. Even if you slide your finger against the mobile phone screen all the time, you can control the direction with your left hand. How can you click the skill button with your right hand?

This is a problem that must be overcome. If VR cannot be overcome, it is impossible to talk about it.

"The threshold for players is relatively high. They have to adapt to a certain operation mode to play." Suzuki murmured to himself, "but it's already VR. All kinds of operation modes are brand new. I should be able to..."

"Wait a minute!" Chuyuanxi found that this meeting had a tendency to become a technology exchange meeting, and quickly stopped: "yes, Mr. Suzuki, although you must be able to achieve our technical requirements to have a basis for cooperation, let's talk about the conditions for cooperation first? If you think the conditions are OK, we'll study the technology later. "

Unexpectedly, Suzuki Yu immediately increased his voice and became very formal: "no, President Chu, what's your solution plan?"

Yu Wenhui scratched his head: "the whole is definitely to control the direction from left to right, right hand skills. Our plan is to distinguish the three finger states of the right hand, namely "click adsorption", "move" and "release". If you misoperate, you can not release it and take back the skill. "

"Well, let me think about it. In fact, this is more important than the depth of the scene. As for the others, it seems that they are not too difficult to complete technically.... " Suzuki Yu said, and suddenly saw Yu Wenhui winking at him. He looked at chuyuanxi and said, "wait, President Chu is still waiting to offer me conditions. Look at me, ha ha ha... "Grandfather's appearance can be said to be mediocre, the only striking thing is that there is a big pit beside his nose. Even the cartoon image in the game he made for himself specially restored this memory.

At this time a smile, like a black spot in the face of vibration, very happy.

Chu Yuanxi just contacted him for a while, but he felt that he should be a person who can have something to say directly, so he didn't want to beat around the bush. "Friends of Knight mabao should have told you that my exchange condition is to support you to continue to develop the" Shamu "series. My specific plan is basically like this. There are several options.

You and your team can choose to join the Ba people's group collectively, and then seek gold through the group's DKP system. The specific DKP rules are as follows... "

Suzuki Yu listens, but looks embarrassed. Chuyuanxi explains that the key point is the structure of the incubation company, and then uses the peak visual effect as an example. Originally, this example was easy to understand, but Suzuki Yu was embarrassed and said, "sorry, president. Your way is very novel, but I don't think we are suitable for this mode. It may be very easy for you to start a business, but in our country, it's too strange and unaccustomed to venture financing. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. "

Saying that, Suzuki Yu also buttocks out of the seat, stoop to salute, make chuyuanxi had to hurry to salute, "it's OK, there are other options. The second option is the acquisition of your company by Ba Ren group. This relationship is relatively clear, but there is one thing that must be communicated clearly, that is, where is the IP adaptation right of the "Shamu" series? Is it in your company or Sega? "

"In Sega, we are authorized by way of franchise."

"If I make an offer, it will affect the franchise, won't it?"

"This..." Suzuki Yu looks embarrassed, because this right was acquired by his lifelong service in Sega, and there was no explanation at the beginning. "The signing of our agreement is relatively simple. It should be said that it is not strict..."

Chu Yuan Xi a frown, "that this also not quite suitable."

IP disputes can be big or small. If they are all from China, he can even mediate in person, even if it is not a big problem to fight a lawsuit in the future. But when it comes to transnational, if the right link is not tight, it may be very difficult in the future.

Then he found that Mr. Suzuki looked at himself with expectant eyes, which was still very stressful. The main point of his proposal is to ensure that he can control it. What he must avoid is that he promises in black and white that the other party will invest in the "Shamu" series, and then the other party will work for Ba Ren, but not work. The first two controls are OK, and the third one is not so harmonious.

"There's one last option." Chuyuan said calmly: "gentleman agreement. You and your team join the Ba people's group in their own name. As long as we agree in advance what you can do and what I need to do with your ability, no matter whether the project is successful or not, or even whether the project itself is successfully completed, I promise to invest for you at least 600 million yuan. "

Suzuki Yu's eyes flashed a fine light, "of course, this is a very good condition, but how can I believe you? President Chu. If we sign an agreement, there are too many things worth arguing about. "

"600 million yuan is not a lot of money for the Ba people's group. I just signed a sale agreement worth more than 520 billion yuan. As for the possibility of wrangling, although it's really hard to argue in law, just give it to the public for comment. If I break the contract, the loss of reputation will be far greater than 600 million yuan. So you have to believe me so that we can work together. "

Suzuki leaned slightly on the sofa with his mouth pursed and thought for a moment. He narrowed his eyes and said, "President Chu, let me rely on the old to sell the old. Are you questioning the working ability of me and my team? I think I can definitely complete the game world described by Mr. Yu just now. Shouldn't we trust each other? "

"Yes, I will promise you that I will give you an investment of no less than 600 million yuan. If it is completed well, it can be increased."

Suzuki Yu nodded with satisfaction, "that's settled!"

Immediately, Suzuki Yu left Ba people on the ground of going to see his old friends. After he left, Yu Wenhui immediately grabbed Chu Yuanxi: "President Chu, I suddenly thought of a problem. Can Island employees work overtime when they enter our company? "

Chuyuan Xi suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, "Hey, you're so funny. The islanders are rewarded for their good fortune, and they don't know if they are lucky. Where does the word" social animal "come from?"

he is quite satisfied with the result. Awesome thanks to Nate code. In fact, he told aunt Cynthia of Knight's code treasure that the handover of Ba people's games during this period also involves a problem, that is, the accounting period and settlement of Knight's code treasure. There's no problem with the delivery of Ba people's games, but there are account periods in various channels at home and abroad. The money in the account period can't be sent to Ba people's group all the time, but it can't be changed to Lingxi immediately, because there are still several months of money to go back to Ba people's account.

This seems like a small problem. It should be the business manager making a few phone calls. However, in practice, it is very difficult. As a result, the operation efficiency of Knight mabao is higher than that of several major domestic channels.

This made chuyuanxi more embarrassed when the other party asked whether the hang up mobile tour of "no way, HunJun" should be online in island country and cosmopolitan country, and finally agreed.
