"Damn!"

Of course Yu Wenhui understood that crowdfunding is not a new thing, but crowdfunding is more than 6 million? It is equivalent to more than 40 million RMB, which is too scary!

What is this situation? Since Dagoudong standardized crowdfunding in 2014, so many crowdfunding projects over the years, who can raise so much money in one project? What does this mean? It means that the fans of this game are really rich. Moreover, the fans of the game also believe in the level of the game producer without any bottom line, which shows that although the previous work failed, it is a real fan circle.

"But why is it crowdfunding?"

Chu Yuanxi said: "This series is a super old series. The first two games were games from 20 years ago. Moreover, the R&D costs were huge, and the sales were very bad, so the game company stopped working. Then the game producer was named Yu Suzuki, who was not as famous as Hideo Kojima, but he was also a master. This game was his obsession. After retirement, he initiated crowdfunding and set up a company to continue working, which made 3."

Yu Wenhui thought that the 6 million-dollar product should have a lot of hope to be made, but why was Mr. Chu targeted him so quickly? He was puzzled, but it seemed that the answer was only one: "They failed again?"

Chu Yuanxi nodded very comfortably, "I like this team that is very awesome but fails in products. Look at this expressiveness. It is too difficult for a mature team with awesome technology to dig through it as a whole."

"How much pounce?"

"More than 10,000 copies sold a week. You have to know that the number of crowdfunding people alone is more than 60,000. What level does this have to be done?" Chu Yuanxi laughed, his face full of satisfaction.

Not only did he watch the program of the up owner, he also personally experienced it. The operation and picture sense are really good, and the experience is really boring. Players actually need to work in the game, otherwise they will not earn living expenses, and they will really work, not just click it in a form and just click it. The boring training + infinite cycle of working every day is too pursuing reality, and it is so real that it is so real that you can earn some money if you have this time.

So much so that Chu Yuanxi started to doubt his life after playing for an hour. What did I do for such a precious hour? Could this game be made with the goal of losing money? Did the old man from the island country get a system of losing money? The designer of this game was recommended to Mr. Pei, who guaranteed that his mother would not recognize him.

Of course, this cannot be told to Yu Wenhui, otherwise it will be detrimental to the team. He looked at Yu Wenhui, and the other party was very busy. He watched TV and mobile phones. He had to think about it when he was distracted.

Yu Wenhui did not deny that the workmanship of this game was awesome, but considering the salary level of the island people, he began to sweat and asked: "But if it is just art, the island team is actually relatively low in cost performance, right?" The key is that it is not hiring one or two people, at least a dozen employees always have it. This cost is amazing!

"Oh, first of all, these people really come here, and the relationship must be in the group. You don't have to bear the cost of the "Mediterranean". Don't worry. Moreover, you first look at this game. This is a game that is a fully open world. In other words, the team's abilities perfectly cover the needs of "Enemy of Rome"."

Zhao Jie's incubation company is called "Gobi Network", while Yu Wenhui is called "Mediterranean Game", which seems to pay tribute to programmers, which is a shiny moment. Yu Wenhui looked at the video while searching for "Shenmu" on his mobile phone, and then found that Yu Yu Suzuki's main achievements came from arcades, and the series of "Shenmu" is actually the originator of "Open World" games. It was the game craftsman of the island country who took the lead in practicing this concept twenty years ago.

Yu Wenhui suddenly understood why Chu Yuanxi valued this team. Yu Suzuki's team has both extremely high game expressiveness, sufficient open-world game production experience and concepts, and the product also has a strong sense of operation. "Enemy of Rome" does not pursue the freedom of the open world, but pursues the depth of scenes similar to the open world. As long as the other party does have strong technical capabilities, let the team do subtraction, and the difficulties in R&D are expected to be overcome.

"Enemy of Rome" is a project with many ideas but a bit advanced. He led a team to do research and development for a while. The VR side was mainly technical issues. The planning of the mobile game has always been a headache about how to write the planning plan, because a qualified planning and design system document must be designed based on the ability of programmers to achieve, and it is impossible for Jaguar to write it blindly.

However, the realization of these ideas can be theoretically possible. In the international 3A masterpieces, we can see that it has been realized. The problem is that the second step of putting the elephant into the refrigerator requires one's own programmer to complete, but it involves the depth of the scene and the editable things, and the elephant just cannot be stuffed into the refrigerator.

However, Yu Suzuki's team is obviously a team that is very good at stuffing elephants. In this way, the most difficult technical implementation link for him in the past suddenly turned into a long board?

The "Enemy of Rome" project has two huge challenges, one is the implementation of technology, and the other is the "semi-intelligent online game", which is the "robot character" (see Chapter 547) plan discussed by Xue Ming and Chu Yuanxi together before, using robot characters to enrich the player's mission line and enrich the player's plot experience. Now Xue Ming has been working hard for this task for more than half a year, and the server is expected to be completed. In other words, this project has actually seen the possibility of completion?

This made Yu Wenhui, who was still worried about how to do the project yesterday, feel that it was too sudden.

However, he noticed that the R&D expenses of "Shenmur 1" exceeded 70 million 20 years ago, and almost lie down a company as big as Sega. This is quite terrifying.

What's even more unfortunate is that both generations of games are well received but not very popular, which attracted a group of extremely loyal fans, but they can't be sold. It can be said that any game company has a serious test for such a game producer, and Sega also withdrew from the competition for console games due to the failure of this game. But it is undeniable that Yusuki is still Sega's ace.

In fact, the concept of open world is indeed very avant-garde, but it is easy to call it good or not. Yu Wenhui is also a gamer. He often sees others complaining about it. Anyone who has an open world game is good, but it is not fun. He is as powerful as Hideo Kojima on the altar. His latest masterpiece "Death Stranding" is also mixed in praise and has mediocre sales.

As for "Shenmu", the most literary thing he saw in his evaluation was that it was not so much a game as a work of art. I don't know if it was a compliment or a derogatory look?

"Mr. Chu, this master Suzuki seems to be a fan of our Celestial Culture? There are many related reports."

"Yes, it should be easier to communicate with, but this is not important. We are going to develop European and American games. Listen to Huizi, there is one thing you must pay attention to."

Chu Yuanxi said, becoming a little more serious, "If we really absorb Yu Suzuki's team, don't be frightened. You should give orders, communicate how to communicate, and maintain an equal attitude. Don't you just retreat and then retreat just because he is a famous artist? Our own design philosophy is the first priority, we are making our products, not his, and all we need is their technology. I will also explain this to him clearly."

Yu Wenhui said that Grandpa Suzuki Yu is really not good at playing. The series of masterpieces that have gathered their lifelong efforts should be easier to talk about, right? "But Mr. Chu, I'm quite curious. What conditions did you give him? High salary?"

"If I haven't had a face-to-face chat, I will provide him with effective technical support. I will provide him with subsequent development funds to continue working on the "Shenmu" series. His current situation is absolutely impossible like doing "Shenmu 4", but if you come to Ba people, you can invest."

"Cough cough cough--" Yu Wenhui almost choked with a mouthful of water. When he was searching, he saw that the "Shenmu" series was planned to reach 11, eleventh generation, how many generations have been released for such a successful fairy sword?

Chu Yuanxi continued: "Whether to provide him with funds or not, how much it provides will definitely depend on the other party's role in our project, which is considered an equivalent exchange. But on the other hand, since he needs to exchange his technology in equivalent exchange, he must have determined the technical framework from the beginning. He nodded, and he could do all the needs within this framework, and then he could get the equivalent exchange.

So here comes with specific issues. We must now think clearly about the technical needs to be raised. Do you understand? He can't agree, we started construction, and then you find that you have asked a few fewer requirements. People say that they can't do it, so it's over? But generally speaking, they are the originator of the open world, so we don't need to achieve full openness, so it should be okay.

Finally, I definitely require their team to come to the Imperial Capital and to do development in the company to truly form a team. This is indeed a bit higher, but our programmers can integrate into it and improve their technical level. There is a reason why domestic game companies do not make 3A masterpieces. Game producers are on the one hand, value orientation is on the other hand, and the most important thing is technical ability issues. The electronic game field in the island country has been going decades earlier than us, and it is no big deal to admit that the gap is not a big deal.

I don’t require that we be ahead of the world when making a product, but at least we can follow up, maintain, and learn advanced methods and processes. This requires that you be selective when recruiting, try to recruit as many as possible for those with strong plasticity, young and good at learning. Even if you are a little more tender at the current level, you can tolerate it. Do you understand this requirement? You can recruit interns at the school.”

This series of requirements made Yu Wenhui exhausted from taking notes, but it was not difficult. The most difficult thing was recruitment. Regarding the various needs in the game, because Chu Yuanxi interrupted the project development, it was equivalent to leaving him idle for a while, so he had a lot of time to think about it. Almost all the difficulties had been thought of. Although he could not think of all the solutions, he believed that he was very prepared to put forward difficulties.

As for treating Yu Suzuki equally, this is indeed a test, because there are many loyal fans on the other party, who worship like a god, and shed tears when she plays a game.

After thinking about these key points one by one, Yu Wenhui was only excitement, because he had never fought such a vast war before, and the Italian cannon was already hungry!

However, he was still caught off guard because the time was not as time as Chu Yuanxi thought, and it didn't delay the weekend at all. He gave feedback that afternoon and was already knocked over the next day!

So on Tuesday on the 26th, Chu Yuanxi met with Grandpa Suzuki Yu in the Baren reception room with Yu Wenhui, who was preparing to have no idea what he wanted.

Yu Suzuki has been to the Celestial Empire many times and is very surprised by his ability to speak fluent Chinese, which makes Yu Wenhui particularly easy to communicate in the future. However, as an islander, the polite process of meeting is very rigorous. He praised the mobile game "From the Mountains in Troubled Times" as a huge masterpiece in the game industry, praised Yu Wenhui as a project manager of "From the Mountains in Troubled Times" for being young and promising, and praised Chu Yuanxi for being a good business, which made Chu Yuanxi not know how to praise it to go back...

Moreover, it may be that Nai*bao described the equity structure and development model of "Next Door Network" and "Mediterranean Game" to the old man, so he was obviously very interested in Wenhui.

Fortunately, when Chu Yuanxi brought the topic to the main business, the old man quickly got into the role, and then was very surprised because Chu Yuanxi started talking about cloud games.

"Google's support for cloud games has caused a bloody storm in my big A-share market, but in fact it makes no sense, because the obvious advantage is the 3A masterpiece, not mobile games, or even online games, which at least does not 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 and output and storage functions, and the calculations are placed in the cloud, but this function is particularly obvious in the game..."

Seeing that Chu Yuanxi had the intention of giving a speech, Yu Suzuki quickly raised his hand to signal him to stop: "I know very well about cloud games. In fact, cloud games are our enemies, whether it is Nintendo, Sony or Sega."

This sentence shows that the old man is very clear about his understanding. Chu Yuanxi nodded and expressed his affirmation: "But it is a very good thing for a simple console game developer."

Host manufacturers are bound to be in pain in the face of the big waves of cloud gaming. For example, Ren Tong’s switch, Q3 sold more than 30 million units worldwide, but after the cloud gaming is implemented on a large scale, it is estimated that even 30,000 units can’t be sold. Players only need a 5G mobile phone. What 3A masterpiece can’t be played?

The advantage of cloud gaming is that it can use home TV or 5g mobile phones as display terminals for high-quality game masterpieces, and use the computing that used to require the powerful computing power of the console to the cloud. In other words, the entire host channel will be killed, which is also the logic of the collective carnival of my big A-share game stocks - a factory that can make big-produced games will suddenly become extremely broad in the future, as wide as mobile games.

The next two days, when the big A-shares woke up, the game stocks fell back to their original prices, because these game stocks basically supported their performance with mobile games. When the 3a masterpieces became "mobile games" and joined the right competition, could the original mobile game products still be better? This is a dimensionality reduction blow, and in the near future, with the popularity of 5g, it will soon appear, first of all, within the range of the Immortal Heaven, which was the first to popularize 5g.

This is also one of the reasons why Chu Yuanxi was willing to sell "Comes of Troubled Times". It is because of his judgment of the game genes and a reflection of his sensitivity to the game. As for what the buyer thinks, it should be strategic considerations, right?

In the 5g era, games must pay more attention to content, and there will be no mistakes.

Seeing that Grandpa Suzuki expressed his agreement, Yu Wenhui immediately stopped talking and said, "The game we plan to develop is called "Enemy of Rome". The specific gameplay is like this..."

He briefly introduced the main play points and mission mechanisms of this mmo, as well as the demand for scene depth, and then described the core battle, "... In short, this is the case, and the operation experience should be more similar to that of a home machine."

"Not similar." 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 screen is presented on the mobile phone, and the operation is also completed on the mobile phone screen. The other is the dual-end mode. If the player chooses to cast the screen on the TV, the TV screen will present the game screen, and then use the mobile phone as the handle of the home machine to operate. If the player chooses to use the VR helmet, it is to use VR to present the vision, and the mobile phone acts as the handle. What does this operation mode Mr. Suzuki think?"

Before Chu Yuanxi could finish his words, Yu Suzuki began to imagine, his eyes were tilted upwards 45 degrees and looked at the sky speechlessly. He pinched his hands as if he was pinching a handle to operate, and then said: "In this way, there must be a mark on the display screen that can show the position of the player's left and right hands on the mobile phone screen. It is best to have a TV, and it is necessary to have a VR."

"That's right, right." Yu Wenhui praised inwardly, but unexpectedly, the old man revealed this key point in just one sentence. He is indeed the most operational arcade design expert.

In fact, under the impact of cloud games, the only possible application scenarios for the controller-type operation mode of the host and home computers in the future is the operation of VR. The controller has fixed buttons raised. Players hold the controller to play games. The headset only needs to present the game scene, and there is no need to display virtual operation buttons.

If Chu Yuanxi wants to make "Enemy of Rome" into a VR game, the biggest problem is operationality. His basic operating mode is to use a helmet monitor + a mobile phone as a controller to operate, which can be adapted to most potential users. Just buy a VR headset, and then VR is connected to a mobile phone or smart TV Bluetooth, without a controller.

However, you can’t see the phone screen with your headset. Even if your fingers keep sliding against the phone screen, the left hand controls the direction. How to click the skill button with your right hand?

This is a difficult problem that must be overcome, and there is no way to talk about it if you can't overcome VR.

"This has a relatively high threshold for players. You must adapt to a certain operating mode before you can continue playing." Yu Suzuki murmured to himself, "But they are already VR, and all operating modes are brand new, I should be able to..."

"Let's go!" Chu Yuanxi found that this meeting had a tendency to become a technical exchange meeting, so he stopped: "It's like this Mr. Suzuki. Although you must be able to achieve our technical requirements to have a foundation for cooperation, you should talk about the conditions for cooperation first? You think the conditions are acceptable and we will study technology later."

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

Yu Wenhui scratched his head: "The overall situation is to control the left and right directions, and the right hand points the skill. Our plan is to distinguish the three finger states of the right hand: 'click adsorption', 'move' and 'release'. If it is accidentally operated, it can not be released and retract the skill."

"Well, let me consider it. This is actually more important than the depth of the scene. As for the others, it seems that it is not technically difficult to complete..." Suzuki Yu suddenly saw Yu Wenhui winking at him, and looked at Chu Yuanxi, "Wait, President Chu is still waiting to give me a condition. Look at me, hahahaha..."

The old man's appearance can be said to be ordinary, the only eye-catching thing is that there is a big wretch next to his nose. Even the cartoon characters in the game he made for himself specially restored this wretch.

A smile at this time was like a black dot trembling on his face, which was very funny.

Chu Yuanxi had only been in contact with him for a while, but he felt that he should be someone who could speak directly, so he would not go around the corner. "Nai**bao's friend should have told you that my exchange conditions are to support you in continuing to develop the "Shenmu" series. My specific plan is roughly like this, and there are several options.

You and your team can choose to join the Baren Group collectively, and then make gold through the group's DKP system. The specific DKP rules are like this..."

Yu Suzuki listened, but he was embarrassed. Chu Yuanxi explained that the focus was on the structure of the incubation company and then used the peak visual effect as an example. Originally, this example was simple and easy to understand, but Yu Suzuki said in embarrassment: "Sorry, President. Your approach is very novel, but I think we are not suitable for this model. Entrepreneurship and other things may be very easy for you, but in our country, entrepreneurship financing is too unfamiliar and unaccustomed to it. Sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm sorry."

As he said that, Yu Suzuki left his butt and bowed to his feet to show his salute, which made Chu Yuanxi have to return the salute quickly, "It's okay, there are other options. The second option is that Baren Group acquires your company, so the relationship is clearer, but there is one thing that must be communicated clearly here, which is where the IP adaptation rights of the "Shenmu" series are, whether it is in your company or in Sega."

"At Sega, we are licensed to our company by franchise."

"Why would it affect this franchise if I propose an acquisition?"

"This..." Yu Suzuki looked embarrassed because this right was obtained by serving Sega throughout his life, and he did not explain it at the beginning. "Our agreement was signed relatively simple, and it should be said that it was very unrestrictive..."

Chu Yuanxi frowned, "then this is not very suitable."

IP disputes are big or small things. If they are all from the Celestial Empire, they can even mediate themselves, even if the lawsuits in the future are not big. However, if the rights links are not tight, they may be very, very difficult in the future.

Then he found that Mr. Yu Suzuki looked at him with anticipation, which felt very stressful. The plan he proposed mainly must ensure that he could control it. What he had to avoid was to promise the other party to invest in the "Samurai" series in black and white, and then the other party worked for Baren, and did not work. The first two points were still in control, but the third point became less harmonious.

"There is another last option." Chu Yuanxi said calmly: "Gentleman Agreement. You and your team join the Baren Group in their personal name. As long as we agree in advance what you can do, I need to complete the work that I can use your ability to complete. Regardless of whether the project is successful or not, or even whether the project itself is successfully completed, I promise to invest at least 600 million yen."

A gleam flashed through Yu Suzuki's eyes, "Of course this is a good condition, but how should I trust you? President Chu. If you sign the agreement, there are so many things worth quarrel about this condition."

"600 million yen is not a big money for Baren Group. I just signed a sale agreement worth more than 520 billion yen. As for the possibility of disputes, although it is indeed difficult to break the law, it is enough to give it to the public. If I break the contract, the loss of reputation is much greater than 600 million yen. So you must believe me and we can continue to cooperate."

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

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

Yusuki nodded with satisfaction, "Then let's just say that!"

Suzuki Yu left Baren on the grounds of going to see his old friend. After he left, Yu Wenhui immediately grabbed Chu Yuanxi: "Mr. Chu, I suddenly thought of a question. Can the island country employees work overtime when they enter our company?"

Chu Yuanxi was immediately amazed and laughed, "Hey, you are so funny. The people of the island have received blessings, and they don't know how to be blessed. Where did you come from as the word "social animal"?"

He was quite satisfied with the result and thanked Nai**bao for being powerful and efficient. In fact, he was originally talking to Nai**bao's Aunt Cynthia, and there was another problem with the handover of Baren Games during this period, which was Nai**bao's payment period and settlement. There was no problem with the delivery of Baren Games, but there were bill periods in various channels at home and abroad. The money on the bill period could not be paid to the Baren Group all the time, but it could not be immediately changed to the channel to Lingxi, because there were still a few months of money that needed to be returned to the Baren Account.

This problem seems to be a small problem, and it should be the business manager making a few calls, but it is very difficult to operate in actual operation. As a result, Nai**bao's operation efficiency is higher than that of several major channels in China.
Chapter completed!
