Chapter 220: You may earn blood, but I will never lose

Plant! Corpse! Sub Supply!

The members of the Chainfingers were a little confused.

Because although they all know each of these words individually, they look so strange when they are together!

Plants and zombies? Sub-supply and zombies?

Perhaps only the sub-supply and the plant can be slightly related!

"Uh...... This...... Hmmm......"

Sato wanted to speak and stopped, stopped talking and wanted, and for a while he didn't seem to know what to say.

Yuki sorted out her messy thoughts and said hesitantly:

"So...... Are we going to use these cartoon plants to resist the zombie invasion? ”

"Yes," Gu Sheng nodded: "Do you have any questions?" ”

Yes?

Doubt?

You actually ask us if we have any questions?

We don't just have questions, our questions are the ones we start with!

This game is simply full of slots, okay!

Let's talk about the style of painting first!

Today's tower defense game painting style is nothing more than two kinds!

Either like defending a turnip, take the cute route.

Or take the cool route as if guarding the throne.

Which one is this?

Cool is definitely not touched, this style of painting is not cool at all.

Moe? It's not cute.

Except for the sunflower, which looks quite good-looking, other plants and even zombies are full of intelligence from top to bottom!

Funny card ventilation.

As Yuki, who is mainly in charge of art, this is the only way to define Plants vs. Zombies.

And!

Even if it's an all-age game, the use of such a style of art is neither biased towards men or women, nor is it biased towards the old or the young, which is very beneficial to the popularity of the game.

But you're playing a little weird, isn't it?

A 5x9 plot with plants planted in each square.

Zombies, on the other hand, will invade from the right side of the screen, stepping across the 5x9 plot in a straight line.

Other words!

Zombies can eat plants!

Monsters take out towers?!

Big brother, do you want to investigate the tower defense game market a little bit today?

Let's see whose game towers will be demolished?

Historically, towers have not been destroyed once they have been built unless the player chooses to demolish them!

But now, in our game, not only are the targets unsafe, but even the defense towers are not safe!

The thought of the towers you've worked so hard to build will be eaten, and a sense of frustration will arise!

The art style is not suitable for the market, the game level is single, and the frustration and negative feedback that may occur at any time!

This game...... Does it really work?

listened to everyone's euphemistic but 'to the point' questions.

Even Shen Miaomiao's heart couldn't help but be shaken and questioned.

Will Lao Gu's work be too big?

Such a tower defense game, let alone her, is the old oilman of the steel chain fingers, and it is unheard of and unseen.

But another thought!

It doesn't matter!

It's just a main project game anyway!

If she earns it, she can start a sub-project, and if she loses, she can reap rebates.

What's there to worry about?

Come to think of this!

Shen Miaomiao waved her hand: "I believe in Director Gu's market sense!" ”

Hear the words.

The members of the Steel Chain Fingers were also stunned, and then suddenly.

That's right!

This is a project that Director Sam has personally devoured.

How did they put the cart before the horse.

In the past, it was like this strange type of game, and the wind of gold has not been produced before.

Was there a 'vampire like' before?

Was there a 'Gen 2 FPS' before?

Was 'psychological terror' ever there?

Was there a 'cinematic co-op game' before?

None of them!

It's not the wind of gold that made it one by one!

It's not Director Gu Sheng who pushed it out one by one!

So, ah, playing in the Golden Wind, there is no other creed-

Only trust!!

I believe that Mr. Gu !!

……

"Lead the way!" Golden Wind confirms its participation in this art tour to go to sea! 》

A surprise game every year! What kind of mini-games will this Golden Wind bring? 》

"The first time the fingers of the steel chain operated! Will the all-neon lineup be unsuitable? 》

The third mini-game of Goldwind is in development! It is expected to be available at the end of this month! 》

《……》

With the joint announcement of Golden Wind and Yiyou, it confirms the cooperation of this 'Mini Game Overseas Plan'.

Various media outlets have also reported on the matter.

The news was nowhere near as sensational as it was when GDC won the award.

But after all, it's a game of the wind of gold, and the degree of discussion is not low-

'Belong to the nail household of the mini-game festival (dog head)'

"A little game every year, I think it's very good, adjust the taste."

"There is a saying about Xiao Huang's little games, the first two years of the little game festivals are the best of the best, and now I'm still playing vampires."

'I don't know what surprises will come this time'

"The flagship of the overseas plan, it is estimated that it will not be bad"

'Thanks to the chain fingers! Fills the gap in "Escape"! Hopefully the mini-game doesn't disappoint! ’

"Actually, I'm still looking forward to "Escape", why can't the steel chain fingers be temporarily incorporated into the gold experience, speed up the progress or something'

"If you don't go in, the project has been developed for a month and a half before the steel chain finger is established, and rushing to join will only slow down the development progress."

"Isn't this also good, two studios in parallel, single core to dual core, effectively improve the speed of work launch"

'My evaluation is not enough! I want to see the octacore! Sixteen cores! ’

'Old thief: I think you just want my life!' ’

'Hahaha, I'm afraid I'm not going to tire out the old thief......

‘……’

Let's talk and laugh!

The development of Plants vs. Zombies is in full swing.

Everything is going well.

Only Shen Miaomiao, who seems to have encountered a little problem-

Rebate multiplier.

Yes.

During the development of the game, Shen Miaomiao has been thinking about whether to extend the rebate for this game.

If you pull it up, how much you want to pull it.

Although theoretically, this mini-game is beneficial to her, regardless of whether it is profitable or not.

But!

Shen Miaomiao also wants to expand her interests as much as possible on a favorable basis!

And the reason why she has such a struggle is because she can't predict how the market response will be to the game.

For her!

A game has nothing more than two outcomes – losing and winning.

If the game is lost, the small treasury will be earned; The game earns, and the small treasury loses.

If "Plants vs. Zombies" is like "Escape", players expect the sound to be hot, and industry insiders praise it!

There is no doubt that it will be profitable nine times out of ten.

Shen Miaomiao didn't have to be entangled, she just pulled the multiplier to 100 and used it as a multiplier tool, thinking about getting rebates on this project.

But the problem is!

Now the popularity of "Plants vs. Zombies" is embarrassing.

You say it's popular, it's not as many players as "Escape" expects, and it doesn't have the recognition of many industry powers.

You say it's not popular, it relies on the publicity of art games and the blessing of the company's reputation, and there is some market discussion.

And the evaluation in the industry is also average.

At least the members of the Steel Chain Fingers were not optimistic about the project at first.

Whether it's the style of painting or the gameplay, it doesn't fit the trend of today's market.

Or even something unpleasant.

If this game was not produced by Gu Sheng, it is estimated that this game would not have been approved at all.

Other words!

"Plants vs. Zombies" has the potential to lose.

Considering this situation, how Shen Miaomiao should determine the rebate rate of this document is very important!

Looking at the documents that are not locked now—

Main Item: Plants vs. Zombies (Unlocked)】

[Project investment amount: 1.15 million dollars]

[Project settlement time: 7 days (+0 days)]

[Project rebate multiplier: 10 times (+0 times)]

[Current revenue amount: 00,000 dollars]

[Estimated rebate amount: $11.5 million]

[Remaining Settlement Time: Waiting to Open]

Since it is a game to go to sea, the origin of this document has become a US knife.

Yes, this is a 'mini-game' worth 1.15 million dollars, which is equivalent to about 8 million in domestic currency.

This was unimaginable before the winds of gold.

To know!

When they made "Vampire Survivors" three years ago, the cost was only 200,000 yuan!

Now, just three years later.

When they participated in the mini game festival as a flagship again, the cost of game production has been raised to 8 million, a full 40 times.

Such a terrifying cost explosion is due to Shen Miaomiao's long-standing outsourcing policy of 'but seeking the most expensive', and also thanks to her continuous upgrading and adjustment of the salary of personnel in the company.

Now, the salary of the internal personnel of the golden wind has basically reached the first-line level in China and even Asia, and the next step is to benchmark Europe and the United States on the other side of the ocean.

In terms of outsourcing, whether it is programming, art, or even music, they are looking for T1-level outsourcing teams at home and abroad to produce, and the price is outstanding.

And facts have proved that the high investment policy that Shen Miaomiao has always adhered to is also very correct.

Because if she still makes the game according to the original specifications, according to the current impact of the golden wind, she shouldn't be entangled, this game will undoubtedly make money.

But now, with the increase in costs, the cost price of up to 1.15 million dollars has made her see the hope of losing money within the specified time.

The cost of 1.15 million knives, deducting commissions, needs to reach about 1.54 million knives.

According to their pricing of 2 dollars per copy, the total sales turnover of 1.54 million dollars means that "Plants vs. Zombies" needs to sell 770,000 sets in a single week!

Is there any hope and is it a loss?

Of course!

Although the previous "To the Moon" had created a sales miracle of 1.7 million units in a single week!

But don't forget!

This miracle was created with the blessing of many super BUFFs such as the super publicity of Yiyou, the platform of Huayu Electronics, the bonus of public welfare attributes, and the official roll call!

But now, "Plants vs. Zombies" has neither an official platform, nor a public welfare bonus, and even the publicity of the art tour is not as strong as the charity week activities at that time.

It is basically impossible to reproduce the miracle of going to the moon.

Not to mention 770,000 sets in a single week, 500,000 sets in a single week is already a sales miracle for a small game.

After all, they sold more than 200,000 units in a single week of "Messy Kitchen" released last year.

Even if you double it, 400,000 units are sold in a single week, and there is still a gap of nearly half of 770,000 units.

Come to think of this!

Shen Miaomiao nodded secretly.

Flip the settlement time button slightly to change the [Project Settlement Time] from [7 days (+0 days)] to [7 days (+5 days)]

Correspondingly, it is naturally the [Project Rebate Multiplier], which has changed from [10 times (+0 times)] to [10 times (+5 times)]

A little more rebate is a little bit.

Shen Miaomiao was very satisfied, and she didn't have much hope and psychological pressure.

After all!

For her, this slip is a play!

It's good to lose in 12 days! She can expand her coffers a little!

It's okay if you don't lose money within 12 days! She can continue to extend the sub-project with this as the main document!

The real meaning of 'you may earn blood, but I will never lose'!!

The document is formed!

The most stress-free order in history!

Lock!

……

[Main Project: Plants vs. Zombies]

[Project investment amount: 1.15 million dollars]

[Project settlement time: 7 days (+5 days)]

[Project rebate multiplier: 10 times (+5 times)]

[Current revenue amount: 00,000 dollars]

[Estimated rebate amount: 17.25 million dollars]

[Remaining settlement time: 11 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds......]

The last day of the month!

Friday at 8pm!

The 'Art Game Mini Game Overseas Plan' is officially launched!

A total of 10 excellent mini game titles will be launched in this overseas plan, which will be jointly organized by Yiyou and a total of six PC game platforms and eight mobile game platforms in Asia, Europe, and the Americas.

The scope basically covers most of the world's PC and mobile game users.

With the launch of the event, Shen Miaomiao also cut the fruit on time, hugged her own small blanket and pulled Gu Sheng to sit on the sofa together.

"This also has to be watched live?"

Gu Sheng couldn't laugh or cry:

"There's no ghost in this game, and it doesn't test any operations, it's still the type you hand-picked, and it's good for you to experience it next."

My next?

Shen Miaomiao's brain melon!

I won't be able to do it!

I bought a copy of it and the total sales were $2 more!

There is hope that this game will lose money!

I don't want to find sin for myself and create a burden!

I definitely have to buy it, but I won't have to wait until seven days later!

"Let's take a look first.,This player also needs to test the quality of the game,"

Shen Miaomiao pricked a piece of cantaloupe into her mouth, and then pricked a piece for Gu Sheng:

"If it's not fun, I'm not spending my money in vain!"

"You don't trust me?"

Gu Sheng pretended to be sad and glanced at Shen Miaomiao resentfully.

Shen Miaomiao raised her eyebrows and looked at him:

"Trust? Gu Sheng, how dare you say these two words to me? Yes? ”

Yes......

Gu Sheng was agitated and wisely chose to shut up.

By the way, the last time Xiao Nezha played escape, he said 'trust', and said that he wanted to be a loyal guard and show Xiao Nezha the way outside the somatosensory cabin.

In fact, when little Nezha was being chased, he was laughing outside the somatosensory cabin.

As a result, he naturally took a beating.

Come to think of this.

Gu Sheng shrunk his neck.

Let's not talk about trust.

At this time, a familiar voice also sounded in the projection screen:

"Mao Ning Mao Ning, play the game online on time,"

"Plants vs. Zombies...... What kind of fame is this? ”
