In order to register the company, Meng Shu spent another week.
After he cashed out the proceeds from the video, he used the money to find a registration agency with a good reputation and qualifications, explained the matter, and asked them to help with the errands.
And he began to look for office space all over the city, which was very time-consuming. He spent almost four days a week renting land, looking at one after another with agents, but nothing was suitable.
The environment is good, but the price is expensive.
The price is good, the environment is bad, and it's remote.
Or it may be a vacant room that needs to be renovated at your own expense.
Looking at the tens of thousands of dollars in his pocket, Meng Shu felt like crying.
In the early days of starting a business, the starting capital was too small and money was needed so much!
Now I am looking forward to the official version of Dark Forest, which has excellent reputation, to sell well.
Another day passed, but fortunately things were not that rough.
Meng Shu finally found a suitable office space in an industrial park.
The area here is small and has basic decoration. The previous company was said to be an e-commerce company. It collapsed for some reasons and left in a hurry. There are still some tables and chairs that have not been moved away.
Meng Shu thought that these could be put to good use, so he simply rented these leftovers together.
After the venue problem was solved, I went to the advertising store non-stop and designed a passable LOGO. As the company's initial logo, it will definitely need to be changed in the future.
In this way, after a busy week, his small company in this world - 'Only Game', was officially established!
He also made an LED light-emitting sign for this purpose and installed it at the front door so that people could tell that this was a gaming company.
He decided on the company name "Unique Game" after thinking about it for about 2 minutes. It almost came out of his head at once.
There is nothing profound or far-sighted in it.
It's just easy to pronounce, easy to remember, common, and impressive.
Meng Shu is a down-to-earth person and doesn't want to deal with the messy meanings in the company name, which is hard to remember and requires a lot of brainpower.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a name that elementary school students can remember?
He came to the industrial park, went to the 5th floor of Building C, walked to No. 520, and opened the glass door.
Then at a glance, I saw a neatly organized company that was ready to start business at any time.
The four luminous characters 'The Only Game' on the wall of the front desk are clearly displayed, eye-catching and clear.
Meng Shu walked around the small company, then pulled out a chair, sat on it, lit a cigarette and puffed away.
Then he spoke in a low voice that only he could hear.
"The business of starting a company is over, so now it's time to go all out to develop games."
He took out his mobile phone and opened Danmaku.com, and felt a little headache looking at the pile of 99+.
I glanced at the private messages and found that there were still no new investors to contact me. It seemed that in this world, even if horror games became popular, no company would be optimistic about them.
This also gave Meng Shu a deeper look at the horror genre in this world.
Compared with other types of games, it is difficult for horror games to attract big companies before they are completely popular.
Meng Shu shook his head, it was natural.
If the Dark Forest were replaced by something else, such as "Call of Duty" or "Need for Speed", given the current popularity, I'm afraid someone would already be willing to invest.
Meng Shu breathed out and spun around in his chair.
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 games created will definitely be stronger and more realistic than those in the original world!
It will definitely make waves in this world where VR games are not outstanding, or even infinite!
But he is not helpless. Since he has no investment and no money, then on the premise that he already has a company, that is the only way left...
Meng Shu raised his head and stared at the ceiling, composed himself, and crossed his legs.
That's EA testing!
That’s the early access version!
To put it simply, it means directly putting unfinished games that are still in the development stage on the shelves for sale.
Then make money and develop at the same time, alleviating financial constraints and not running out of money for development.
This method was a relatively common form in the original world.
For example, "Cyberpunk 2077" was released more than a year in advance, allowing players to pre-order it, and then use the money from the sales to continue development to alleviate financial problems.
Another example is "Baldur's Gate 3". The EA version was released early for 298 yuan and sold a lot, but he had not seen the official version until he traveled through time.
This sales method of selling and making at the same time has spawned several small companies that make games in the original world.
Domestic games such as "The Great Immortal Simulator", "Taiwu Scroll", "Searching for Immortality" and "Dyson Sphere Project" solved the initial funding problem by relying on early access.
And during the release period, the money earned was continuously used to improve the game and develop new content, so that even for the unfinished EA version, the online rate of players was still very high.
And coincidentally, in this world, there is a global game and software platform called Cyber.
After this platform was represented by Huaguo, it was renamed "Cyber Platform" according to the transliteration.
The cyber platform is very similar to the steam platform in the original world, and there are also many domestic and foreign games on it.
But the difference is that China already has a local agent, so if domestic games want to be on the cyber platform, they need to submit them for review and get a version number.
Fortunately, this world does not have so many rules and regulations. Submitting games for review is a very normal process here, and the first review will not take many years.
As long as there is no politics or uncomfortable content, even if there is red blood or ghosts in the game, you can basically get the relevant qualification certificate.
It can be said that in this world, the multi-directional development of game practitioners is greatly encouraged.
Meng Shu decided to take the road of selling and making at the same time, and then when the official version is released, he will bring the VR version with him to surprise the players and give him fright value.
As for the host platform, it will definitely be transplanted, there is no doubt about this.
However, he plans to recruit people to do this kind of thing after he has enough funds.
After all, the commission fee of the platform is not low, and it is really impossible to do it without money.
Another thing is that the popularity of the game has declined.
Meng Shu watched the video data in the background showing a downward trend and couldn't help but frown.
But then I felt relieved and thought that this would indeed be the case.
After all, there are so many fun things on the Internet now, and it can easily divert everyone’s attention.
Your Dark Forest may have attracted a huge amount of attention before, but without subsequent updates to maintain popularity and audience stickiness, it will only become less and less popular.
If Meng Shu wants to develop a VR version, he needs to put EA's semi-finished games on the shelves to make money.
But if the popularity is not enough and the popularity is not wide enough, it is very likely that the game will die suddenly when it is released!
Therefore, before it is put on the cyber platform, there must be enough material to attract players and interest them, thus paving the way for it to be put on the shelves.
And you want players to believe that your game is really being developed stably.
In this way, everyone will be willing to contribute money to support.
Thinking of this, Meng Shu closed his eyes and looked at the material resources that came with the dark forest in the system.
There is currently a promotional CG, which cannot be released. This will have to be saved until the game is released.
There is also an original composition package, which actually doesn’t matter whether it is released or not, there is no impressive music in it.
Then what is left is the concept design and art resources of the game.
Looking at these two things, Meng Shu leaned back on his chair, closed his eyes and began to ponder.
Time passed little by little, I don’t know how long it took.
Gradually, voices came from outside the company, and it seemed that it was time to get off work.
At this moment, Meng Shu opened his eyes, already determined in his mind what he was going to announce.
"In this world where the horror genre is backward, the characters and monster shapes in the dark forest should be very novel, right?"
