Chapter 8 The establishment of the company, the only game

In order to register the company, Meng Shu spent another week.

After withdrawing the proceeds from the video, he took the money to find a registration company with a good reputation and qualifications, explained the matter, and asked them to help run errands.

And he began to look for office space all over the city, which took a lot of time, almost four days a week was running around renting land, following the agent to see one after another, how could there be no suitable one.

The environment is good, but the price is expensive.

The price is good, the environment is poor, and it is remote.

Or the kind that has an empty house and needs to be renovated at your own expense.

Looking at the 10,000 yuan in his pocket, Meng Shu really wanted to cry without tears.

In the early days of starting a business, the start-up capital was too small, and the money was needed too much!

Now I'm looking forward to the official version of the gloomy forest with an excellent reputation to sell well.

Another day passed, but fortunately things weren't so bumpy.

Meng Shu eventually found a suitable office space in an industrial park.

The area here is not large, with basic decoration, the last company is said to be doing e-commerce, for some reason collapsed, left in a hurry, and there are still some tables and chairs that have not been moved.

Meng Shu thought that these could also be used, so he simply rented these remnants together.

After the site problem was solved, I went to the advertising store non-stop and designed a barely passable LOGO, which was used as the logo of the company's initial stage, and it will definitely be changed in the future.

And just like that, after a busy week, his small company in this world, 'One and Only Games', was officially established!

He also made an LED light-emitting sign for this purpose, which was installed at the front desk door, so that people could know that it was a game company at a glance.

The only company name for the game,He thought about it for about 2 minutes and decided.,It's almost the kind that comes out with a shot of the head.。

There's nothing profound, far-sighted in it.

It's just smooth, easy to remember, common, and impressive.

Meng Shu is a real person, he doesn't want to engage in those who don't, the meaning of the mess is in the name of the company, it's hard to remember, and it takes a lot of brains.

Isn't it good to take this kind of name that elementary school students can remember?

He came to the industrial park, went up to the 5th floor of Building C, walked to No. 520, and opened the glass door.

Then I saw a neat and tidy company that was ready to open for business.

The four big words 'One and Only Game' on the wall of the front desk are clearly displayed and eye-catching.

Meng Shu walked around the small company, then pulled out a chair, sat down, and lit a cigarette casually, swallowing the clouds.

Then he whispered in a voice that only he could hear.

"The business of starting a company is over, so the next step is to go all out to develop the game."

He took out his mobile phone, opened the barrage network, and had a headache when he looked at the large pile of 99+.

Glancing at the private message, there is still no new investor to contact, it seems that in this world, even if the horror game has popularity, there is still no company that will be optimistic.

This also gave Meng Shu a deeper look at the horror genre of this world.

Compared to other types of games, horror games are difficult to attract to big companies until they are completely popular.

Meng Shu shook his head, this is also a matter of course.

If you replace the Gloomy Forest with something else, such as Call of Duty or Need for Speed, with the current popularity, I'm afraid there are already people willing to invest.

Meng Shu exhaled and sat on the chair and spun around.

He needs money, he wants to make a VR version, and he also has a way to make a VR version.

Meng Shu believes that with the help of the system, the quality of the VR game made is definitely stronger and more realistic than the original world!

It is also sure to set off a storm in this world where VR games are not prominent, or even infinitely zero!

But he is not out of the question, since there is no investment, no money, then on the premise that he already has a company, there is only that way...

Meng Shu stared up at the ceiling, calmed down, and lifted Erlang's legs.

That's EA testing!

Instant Early Access!

To put it simply, it is to directly put unfinished games that are still in the development stage on the shelves for sale.

Then while making money, develop at the same time, alleviate the shortage of funds, so as not to run out of money to develop.

This method was a relatively common form in the original world.

For example, "Cyberpunk 2077" was put on the shelves more than a year in advance, allowing players to pre-order, and then use the money from the sale to continue development to alleviate the financial problem.

For example, "Baldur's Gate 3", the EA version was released early, 298 yuan, and a lot was sold, but he didn't see the official version until he crossed it.

In this way, several small companies that make games have been raised in the country of the original world.

Domestic games such as "The Great Immortal Simulator", "Taiwu Picture Scroll", "Looking for Immortality", "Dyson Sphere Project" and other domestic games rely on early access to solve the initial funding problem.

And during the release period, we will continue to use the money earned to improve the game and develop new content, so that even if the EA version is not finished, the online rate of players is still very high.

And it just so happens that in this world, there is a global game and software platform called Cyber.

After this platform was represented by Huaguo, it was renamed as 'Cyber Platform' according to transliteration.

The cyber platform is very similar to the original world of the steam platform, and there are also many domestic and foreign games on it.

But the difference is that Huaguo already has a local agent, so if a domestic game wants to be on the cyber platform, it needs to be submitted for review to get the version number.

Fortunately, there are not so many rules and regulations in this world, and game submission is a very normal process here, and there will not be a situation where the first trial is a year.

As long as it doesn't involve politics or has uncomfortable content, even if there is red blood and ghosts in the game, you can basically get the relevant qualifications.

It can be said that in this world, the multi-directional development of game practitioners is greatly encouraged.

Meng Shu decided to take this path while selling, and then when the official version is released, he will bring the VR version with him to surprise the players and dedicate scare points to him.

As for the console platform, it will definitely have to be ported, there is no doubt about that.

However, he plans to recruit people to do this kind of thing when he has enough funds.

After all, the platform's commission fee is not low, and it is really not possible to have no money.

There is another thing, and that is that the popularity of the game has decreased.

Meng Shu looked at the video data in the background showing a downward trend, and couldn't help frowning.

But then I was relieved, and I thought that this would indeed be the case.

After all, there are so many fun things on the Internet that it is easy to divert everyone's attention.

Your dark forest may have attracted a huge amount of attention before, but if there is no follow-up update to keep the heat and audience sticky, it will only get cooler and cooler.

If Meng Shu wants to develop a VR version, he needs to put EA semi-finished games on the shelves to make money.

But if the popularity is not enough and the popularity is not widespread, it is likely that the game will die violently when it is put on the shelves!

Therefore, before putting the cyber platform on the shelves, there must be enough materials to attract players, make players interested, and pave the way for the shelves.

And make players believe that your game is really in stable development.

In this way, everyone will be willing to contribute money to support.

Thinking of this, Meng Shu closed his eyes and looked at the materials attached to the Gloomy Forest in the system.

At present, there is also a promotional CG.,This can't be sent.,This has to be saved until the game hits the shelves.。

There's also the original composition pack, which doesn't really matter if it's released or not, there's no impressive music in it.

All that's left is the game's concept design and art assets.

Looking at these two things, Meng Shu leaned back on his chair and groaned with his eyes closed.

Time passed little by little, and I don't know how long it was.

Gradually, there was a sound of talking outside the company, and it seemed that it was time to get off work.

At this moment, Meng Shu opened his eyes, and his heart had already determined what he was going to announce.

"In this world where the horror genre is backward, the characters and monster shapes of the Gloomy Forest should be very novel, right?"
