Meng Shu sat on the chair and closed his eyes.
His properties panel appears again.
Planning: 60 (general)
Program: 60 (general)
Art: 60 (general)
Music: 60 (general)
Total fright value: 500
Seeing this panel, Meng Shu pondered for a moment and frowned.
Properties...no change?
The fright value...hasn't increased at all?
Why? Is it because this is a trial demo? Or is it because the gifts given by the system do not count?
Meng Shu thought for a moment and had a rough guess in his mind.
"Is it possible that because it is not a full version of the game, even if it scares players, the fright value will not be increased?"
As soon as the idea came to him, his heart immediately accepted the statement.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the fright value is not increased after the game demo scares the players.
After Meng Shu thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
The mainstream game in this world is Gun Car Ball.
He originally wanted to increase the fright value through the actual demonstration of the dark forest, and then buy the production method of the original world "Titanfall 2", and use the promotional CG and actual demonstration video included in it to attract an investment, and then use This investment is used to establish a company, recruit people, develop games, and reach the peak of life.
He believes that in this parallel world where FPS is all about modern warfare, no man can resist the charm of driving a mecha in combat.
Therefore, he believes that once the trailer is released, investment will definitely come to the door.
But the reality is still too taken for granted.
The system is the system, which directly cut off this crooked path, forcing him to develop the full version of Dark Forest honestly.
"Forget it, just take it one step at a time and do it in a down-to-earth manner."
Meng Shu's hands touched the keyboard.
...
Half a month passed quickly.
During this period, he worked on this horror game in front of the computer every day.
With the help of the engine produced by the system, the progress was very fast, and the first chapter was quickly developed and tested without errors!
Even the way to complete side tasks is better and more complete than the original version!
Later, even the swampland in Chapter 2 was developed to 20% progress.
The finished product is just around the corner!
During this period, the demo videos he released experienced two surges in popularity.
For the first time, a UP host named Zai Zong posted a video in which he personally experienced the game with a tenor scream, which brought endless fun to the audience and ushered in a big wave of excitement for the dark forest. focus on.
The second time, it was listed as a must-see this week on Danmaku.com and was labeled as 'redefining horror games', which is equivalent to being recommended by the website.
As a result, he received a huge wave of attention, and countless people clicked in to watch. This caused his video data to increase rapidly, and the number of views has reached as high as 1091W!
Also rising at the same time are the explosive data of coin inputs, likes, and recharging. Together, Meng Shu can withdraw nearly 30,000 yuan directly in the background!
This is just the income from one video!
And through these two things, the popularity of the game Dark Forest has been completely established.
Now everyone in the player circle knows that there is an independently developed domestic horror game called Dark Forest. While they are surprised by the creator, they are also very much looking forward to the release of this game.
Even people outside the circle have heard about it to some extent.
Real-machine demonstration, plus trial demo, you can both watch and experience it personally. This kind of promotional combination is much more practical than those big companies that put out a preview, then create a new folder, and say they are doing it!
As a result, the discussion topic of the dark forest has become more and more widespread.
More and more companies came to him, but he ignored and rejected them all.
Under such enthusiasm, he finally welcomed his first investor.
Iron Horse Capital!
This is a company that specializes in investment, and its main business is investing and extracting profits.
And is willing to help develop it with an amount of one million.
At first, Meng Sheng was also very happy.
Finally, Huangtian paid off and his efforts were not in vain.
But then, I felt a little worried.
Because it is not a business, it has no public account to collect payments, no official seal to sign contracts, no business license to confirm profitability, and no tax qualification guarantee.
He is a natural person and has nothing. Even if someone is willing to invest, he cannot accept it.
If you want to collect it by force, it is in the nature of a loan, and interest will be generated, which is completely contrary to investment.
[Mr. Meng, considering your situation, we may not be able to invest. ]
Meng Shu frowned while looking at the message in the V letter on his cell phone.
In fact, it is not difficult to get this investment, just register a company, but it will be very troublesome to go through the process.
Of course, you can just spend some money to find a registration agency to handle it. You only need to go to the bank, open a public account and get the U-Shield.
Others, such as going to the industrial and commercial office to apply for business licenses and seals, going to the tax bureau to apply for agreements and invoices, etc. can all be done by the registration agency.
This investment can be collected after the company officially opens for business.
When the time comes, we will recruit people to develop other games, and our own entrepreneurial journey will be a matter of course.
In any case, it is essential to open a company, because the release and listing of games, filing and obtaining a license number require a company.
No matter how powerful the system is, it only shines in game production.
The rest is up to you.
Meng Shu had this plan in mind, and then replied to the V letter.
[I understand. If possible, I hope to keep in touch with your company. Can we talk about investment matters after I have a corporate account here? ]
Soon, a reply came from there.
[Of course Mr. Meng, but there is one thing you need to understand. You are a new company with no profit. In terms of qualifications, it is difficult for you to pass our company's risk control system. If manual review is requested, the amount may not reach the expected amount if there is only an unknown game as the project. ]
Seeing this, Meng Shu had to accept it.
There are actually two ways to say this.
High EQ: Very sad risk control system.
Low EQ: Can’t pass.
High emotional intelligence: The amount does not reach the expected amount.
Low EQ: Very little money.
Indeed, as an investment company, it only takes risks based on the popularity of your game.
Now it turns out that you are a mere commander who doesn’t even have a base. How can you make other investment companies believe that you can make money?
Just based on a somewhat popular game? Besides, it's still a scary game where whoever touches the person dies. The last one is dead set, but the portrait is still there.
So it’s no wonder that people would say such things.
Although judging from the line of writing, it is somewhat roundabout, but that is just a polite way of saying it.
In fact, this investment is basically dead.
At least, it's cold here in the dark forest.
Meng Shu smiled bitterly and replied to the message.
[Understood, thank you for your explanation, we may work together again if we have the opportunity. ]
[You're welcome, Mr. Meng. ]
After turning off the phone, Meng Shu breathed a sigh of relief and pondered for a moment.
Then he collected himself.
This incident gave him a wake-up call.
It seems that we have to settle the matter of registering the company first.
After all, after you have a company, many things will become easier.
