MTL - I Make Games To Scare Crying Players-Chapter 85 Manufacturers' thoughts
Chapter 85 Manufacturers’ Thoughts
Empty floors, dirty walls.
Meng Shu stepped on the dust all over the floor, came to the window, silently lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath.
Looking at the green vegetation of the industrial park from the height of the 7th floor, blowing out smoke rings.
"Let's quote a suitable price."
"Okay, Mr. Meng."
The professionally dressed female agency behind her showed her iconic smile.
"Jichuang Industrial Park is located in a relatively prosperous area. There are various lifestyle shops and restaurants nearby, and it is less than ten minutes away from the subway station. If you really want to rent, the whole floor of more than 500 square meters is fine. I'll give you 4 yuan per flat day."
Meng Shu nodded after listening.
"The monthly rent is 60,000, and what about the property management fee?"
"The property management fee is 15 yuan/square meter, paid monthly."
After hearing this, Meng Shu took a deep breath of the cigarette, exhaled, and drifted into the air.
"67,500."
He turned his head, walked into the empty company, and looked carefully.
This is one of the rooms on the 7th floor of Building A, Jichuang Industrial Park.
In terms of scale, it is about 70 square meters.
Originally, Meng Shu didn't plan to consider this place. Even if the location was good, he planned to change places.
Because it is too small.
But later the agency lady said that the entire floor had been moved away, which made him stop.
After careful questioning, I found out that the previous company was a training company. For some reasons, I couldn’t do it anymore, so I chose to leave.
Meng Shu doesn't care about the last company.
Opportunities like this with a whole floor are rare in Shencheng.
And the area is about 500 square meters, as long as the walls other than the load-bearing walls are opened, it will appear very spacious.
So he thought about it and didn't leave in time.
Instead, I went in and looked at every room.
I have to say, there is a lot of garbage.
The last training company left a lot of things here.
"Is it possible for the price to be lower?"
The intermediary suddenly felt a little troubled.
"Mr. Meng, this price is already the lowest. Originally, it was 5 square meters per day. Seeing that you are a young entrepreneur, I also talked to the landlord for a long time, and only then did I get the price of 4 square meters per day."
Meng Shu couldn't help but smile when he saw the sincerity of what the agent said.
Just listen to her words.
After looking around, I became more and more satisfied, and I had a decoration plan in my heart.
If you rent this place, you can deploy more staff.
At the same time, for the sake of the health of employees, the fitness room, office desks and chairs have to be upgraded in all aspects.
So the office area and fitness area should be larger.
Also have to ask a cooking aunt to prevent them from eating takeaway.
Enough space can make the motion capture room bigger, and since it is a game company, it is reasonable to have a full-platform game experience room.
At least let the employees relax here.
Of course, it may be too busy to use frequently.
But it doesn't matter. For Meng Shu, it is no problem to have such a lounge, and the employees will definitely use it.
So after thinking about it, he decided to rent it out.
So I talked with the agency lady about potential safety hazards and follow-up issues, and then went to the agency company to sign the contract.
Next, it is to find a suitable decoration company to start designing and decorating.
Meng Shu directly handed over the matter to the financial sister Mei, and then went to the real estate center.
The new office space has been selected, and the rest is decoration.
It is estimated that this will not be done in half a year.
So I still have to work in the current company.
Because of the venue problem, there are not many places for new employees, so the matter of recruiting has to be put on hold.
At the same time, Meng Shu also outsourced the host porting work of the three games "Dark Forest", "Blackjack" and "Face".
Originally, it was going to be handed over to Unlimited Online Entertainment, but they are also developing new games now, so they don’t have time.
So Meng Shu can only provide a few studios with long-term cooperation and good technical skills for him to choose.
Meng Shu took some time to understand these companies, and finally chose a small company called "Future Studio".
Although their scale is not large, judging from the company information, they are quite powerful.
Most of the FPS on the market have their participation, and they themselves say that they are very good at shooting games, and they are long-term partners of many game companies.
Because of their surprisingly good shooting feedback, they have a good reputation in the industry and player circles.
So asking them to help transplant the game is a bit overkill.
But this also made Meng Shu very relieved, and directly handed over all three games to them for transplantation, and the funds were also sufficient.
The purpose is to allow those players who are afraid to play VR to get in touch with horror games in other ways.
As for the VR version of "Dark Forest".
Due to the limitations of engine technology currently on the market, no company can do it except its own monkey system.
So you have to do it yourself.
Qiu Yuan, Xu Hong, Xia Nianzhen and the others are currently busy with work.
Chen An even asked him to expand the plot and add side missions to the VR version of "Dark Forest".
Meng Shu thought about it and agreed to the request.
Anyway, everything will be approved by him before it can be installed, so let them play to their full potential.
Now, it's time for a new home.
At this time, because of the global popularity of "Sky Mountain" and the public accusations from Jiyou.com.
Many medium and large manufacturers in China began to re-examine this development company called 'Only Game'.
Although I paid a little attention to the game "Dark Forest" before, I didn't pay attention to it.
After all, this game was a horror game at the time, and it was promoted as a personal development.
So domestic manufacturers don't think there will be any achievements.
It is purely a whimsical young man who wants to pursue his dream.
Because of such people, there are many college student game exhibitions every year.
But what surprised them was that this young man succeeded! ?
The game industry is known as being extremely unpopular, and the horror and suspense genre of who does who dies really made him, an unknown young man, and the game popular?
But even so, the major manufacturers were only slightly surprised and did not pay attention.
After all, the horror game genre has been unpopular for more than ten years.
Suddenly a popular horror game is released, it is purely a flashback before the death of the market, or a small wave of calm.
After that, it was still as calm as ever.
They will not enter the horror market without thinking just because a horror game has exploded. If they enter without experience, this is an act of courting death.
It’s better to be honest and do the type of game you are good at.
Moreover, for more than a decade, there have been many daring companies setting foot in this unpopular market for profit, but they all ended in failure.
With so many failed examples, they don’t want to blindly spend a large amount of budget and manpower to develop a horror game with an unknown future just because of the only one successful case.
So the explosion of "Dark Forest" made the manufacturers not take it seriously, and even thought it was just a good time and place, and the next one may not have such a result.
but
They never expected it.
After "Dark Forest", this young man actually fell in love with Unlimited Online Entertainment!
Then relying on the funder, launched the VR horror game "Blackjack"!
And it's free!
VR+free+horror, combined together, in the period when the horror environment was extremely bad and VR games were extremely bad, it was undoubtedly a heavenly gift!
So not surprisingly, this horror game became popular again, and the download volume of 410W made the manufacturers realize that the horror game market has gradually recovered!
It is no longer a pool of stagnant water before!
It's the 'XX market' with a lot of players and a lot of money!
Therefore, major domestic manufacturers paid more attention to it and began to conduct all-round research on the market.
But after all, this market has been cold for too long, so that no one has experience in making horror games.
0 experience, if you enter the arena rashly, you will only be crushed by "Dark Forest" and "Blackjack", and become a stepping stone for others, and use your own reputation to achieve others.
no!
So you still have to be cautious, at least you have to have experience!
So the major manufacturers began to recruit talents and recruit talents to prepare for entering the horror game market.
As for the only game, they still didn't pay much attention to it, after all, Unlimited Online Entertainment is well-known.
The success of the game can only be considered to be the strength of the leading company, not the only "part-time job" of the game.
As a result, they have always believed that Unlimited Online Entertainment is the only owner of the game.
Then, major manufacturers gathered talents to start researching "Dark Forest" and "Blackjack", analyzing their gameplay and mechanism.
In this case, the advent of "Face" once again shocked the manufacturers.
This new game has an unprecedented rational setting, an ingenious plot performance, a full-bodied horror experience, and a confusing story background.
With super high quality, once again conquered the players.
Manufacturers couldn't sit still.
They saw it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts.
If this continues, the entire horror game market will become infinite online entertainment.
Therefore, the manufacturers began to desperately plan to release a game first to test the waters and see the market response.
Try out experience if you don’t have experience, after all, this thing is accumulated!
With this idea in mind, manufacturers began to act.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a dark horse unexpectedly appeared halfway!
Jiyou.com came out with his "Jungle Fright" and seized the market.
With its own technical hard power, it squeezed out all the factories, and with the horror game it launched, it was proud of the crowd.
Then it got cold.
The kind that cannot be saved.
This has made major manufacturers vigilant again.
History of horror games who does who is cool repeats itself!
Even the leading company’s game network has failed miserably, so how can these small and medium-sized companies dare to spend money to try and make mistakes?
However, people have been recruited, working groups have been established, and the game has been analyzed. Do you want to give up halfway?
Looking at the horror game market of Xiangmomo, major manufacturers decided to take the failure of the game as a warning. Immediately immersed in it, I plan to work slowly and meticulously, focusing on quality clearance, and develop my own horror game, so as not to follow in the footsteps of the game.
In this way, until the release of "Sky Mountain", it was still in production.
At the same time, because of the prize-winning activities of the only game, they took it seriously.
In their eyes, this company is positioned as a 'part-time job'. It has been established for less than a year, and it has already made a global best-selling explosive game.
Also paid for free activities to give back to players.
You said Unlimited Online Entertainment would be so kind?
That is definitely impossible. We all work in the same industry, and we all have some understanding of virtues.
The capitalists send money to a group of gamers, or just play games?
Will Unlimited Online Entertainment do this?
Joke!
So the only one who can take out this money and make decisions on his own is the only game himself.
If they were really working part-time, Unlimited Online Entertainment would definitely not agree to do so.
So the relationship between the two.
It may not be what the outside world thinks.
The quality of the only game works is surprisingly high, and the technical strength has also reached the VR field.
These alone are enough for manufacturers to pay attention to.
So, a company called Stellar Games paid attention to Unique Games.
