Publish it yourself!
Chapter 229:Publish it yourself!
Zhong Ming submitted the original version of the Taiwu Painting Volume to the docking leaders of several major channel vendors, and put forward the requirement of increasing the share.
The first reply is the person in charge of the take-off game platform, the party manager of channel business.
"Mr. Chung, it's like, the new game in your studio, which I've shown to our vice president, but the new sharing agreement... I'm afraid there's a problem."
"It's like, Mr. Chung, it's not that I don't trust you, it's mainly a game that our vice president played, and it feels a little too risky, and doesn't see any obvious advantages."The picture is similar to many games on our platform now, even because it is a 2D game to be slightly deducted; it is a stand-alone game, unable to network, and there is no additional profit model; perhaps the only novel is this way of play, but ... this system is too complicated, and the cost of learning for players is very high."
"So, our vice president prefers the sharing agreement of this game or not to change first, or according to the previous division, we try to give you as many recommended bits as possible, what do you think?"
The manager said it was more euphemistic.
Zhong Ming replied, "The sales of this game will not be low."
Fang manager: "Yes, General Zhong, I personally trust your team's research and development capabilities, but our platform is also to consider a lot of factors, 20% of the income, but not a decimal."Your first few games, the monthly flow is in the tens of millions of levels, if the game can be higher, of course, it is good, but as far as we see the situation at present, this game to tens of millions of levels of monthly running water, it is really difficult, so, not I want to bargain with you, it is our vice president's side, through."
“Then say more.”
The bell did not return to him.
Not long after, another game platform also wrote back.
"Chong, I saw the new game, I feel that in terms of quality, want to sign a new sharing agreement, it is a little difficult."Our platform for these sharing quotas is very dead, there is a very complete set of game evaluation mechanism, you play this game, we give a C + at most, even B can not reach, so it is really difficult.If you are not satisfied, do you want to change the game again?If our rating on our side can be raised a bit, then the division can be re-talked.”
...
Many of them refused to adjust the adjustment and sharing of Zhong Ming.
Of course, these channel vendors refused to be very euphemistic, and basically no channel merchants and the previous crowdfunding platform of Li Rong and the same as the bell pendulum, after all, the reputation of the micro-light studio is out of the way, is no longer a small studio that is not a pinch, no matter whether the business can be done, the most basic respect is still to be given.
There are many reasons for these channel vendors, some of which are saying that a company leader does not agree; some say that the evaluation of the game rating is too low, according to the company system can not give more share; there is also a simple saying that the company's relevant system is being adjusted, if you want to change the agreement, you may get next month.
For these excuses, the bell can only laugh casually.
Obviously, these channel vendors are very unfazed about the game of "Taiwu Drawer", so they found these excuses.
If I really think that the sales volume of "Taiwu Painting" will explode, not to mention the adjustment of the company system, that is, the company's leader is sick and hospitalized, it will also have special affairs, and the business cannot be delayed.
Since these channels have been explicitly rejected, Zhong Ming will not fight again, but put down the signing of the agreement.
It makes no sense to argue with them, because the game is not on the line, and now the bell will say how to break his throat, these people will not change their opinions.
In the past, the Taiwu painting volume of the past has faced such a dilemma, once the main creation to talk with the domestic publisher about a one-time buyout, the price, only two million in the district.As a result, even this offer, no domestic publisher accepted!
From the results, if a publisher really bought the distribution right of "Taiwu Picture Book" for 2 million yuan, it was really a dream to wake up, because the sales of "Taiwu Painting Volume" reached a million level on Steam, and the pure flow was 68 million.
However, there is no publisher that accepts this price!
I don't know if the publishers have any regrets every time they recall this thing.
Of course, to say that these publishers are all very short-sighted?Don’t you dare to take a risk?Two million dollars in the district to buy a dream do not dare?
That's not what I said.
Publishers, in the final analysis, are still "businesses", to do any behavior, to consider the input and output, and the risks.In fact, in the eyes of many publishers, the original "Taiwu Painting" proposed 2 million buyout, but also really can not make money, or even lose money.
After the game is bought out of 2 million, the total investment may reach 3 million yuan after the promotion, approval, maintenance and other expenses.
Considering the impact of game promotions and discounts, even if the original price is 70 yuan, the average shipment price of 50 yuan is almost, or even more, after all, many platforms of the game discount, it is half-price and half-price sales.If you add taxes, the income may be reduced.
In this way, the investment of 3 million yuan, at least need to sell sales of about 100,000 to return, is just busy.
Selling $100,000 is hard.Of course, it is not difficult for some large-scale games, but for an indie game developed by an obscure small studio, selling 100,000 is indeed unlikely.
Because many high-quality independent games, although well-received, sales have barely reached the threshold of 100,000.
What's more, in the eyes of these publishers, "Taiwu Painting" has so many problems, extremely unfriendly to the novice, sales I am afraid to continue to reduce, in addition, this is sold at 70 yuan, in the eyes of many publishers, "Taiwu drawing volume" game quality, but not worth 70 yuan.
In this way, 2 million to buy this game, it is really easy to lose blood.
Of course, Zhong Ming knows the potential of Taiwu Painting, so even if the publisher of the world is willing to buy out the distribution right of 2 million, the bell will never sell.
Just kidding, $2 million is just two weeks of net income from the game before the glimmering studio.
Therefore, Zhongming put forward more requirements, mainly in terms of sharing, but also in terms of publicity and promotion.
Originally, I felt that the glimmer studio has three successful games, these channels will give a little face, but the result is very real, five or five shares, they are not happy.
Zhong Ming came to Fu Xing'an next to: "First tell the art group, there is no need to prepare promotional materials for each platform for the time being, and there is no need to thank the textual materials such as game introductions."
"Ah?"All right.Do you want to postpone the sale?”Pay for the water.
Zhong Ming shook his head: "No extension, just we don't cooperate with other channel vendors, this game, we send it ourselves."Back, I went back to ask for help to do the approval, application number, these approval information, or as usual to prepare."
Fu Xing'an was completely embarrassed: "We... send it ourselves?"
The bell rumbled: “Yes.”
“Oh, well...” Paixing continued to do his own business.
As a world architect, some of the game's data is also prepared by him, such as the game to report ESRO audit, need to prepare game data in a certain format, or cooperate with the channel, according to the requirements of the channel to prepare the game screenshots, introductions, etc., these were originally done by Zhongming, and now all of them are handed over to Fu Xing'an.
As a result, when he heard the bell ringing that he wanted to play the game himself, Fu Xing'an was shocked at that time.
Unheard of!
In fact, the so-called game itself is no difficulty, nothing more than to do a regular website, the game to the above hanging, the player to pay to buy, after the download to activate the game began to play, the game company will earn money.
But what’s the point is... where do the players come from?
In fact, many game platforms are so strong not because they can be a game platform, not because of technical reasons, but because they have players in their hands.
Take a game to the recommended position, an hour will have thousands of people to play, after which the benefits will be generated.In other words, these channel vendors have players in their hands, which is equivalent to having a cash cow.
Do a game yourself, do a website to hang up, how to let the player know this game?
Even large companies like light wing mutual entertainment, they have some users in their own hands, but also to cooperate with other channel vendors, in order to be able to expand the player group as much as possible, it is impossible to completely leave the channel business to eat alone.
As a result, where is the glimmer studio, to play their own game?
Fu Xing'an is a little less aware of this fairy operation, but it is a good thing to be able to prepare less promotional materials...
As for how to advertise, then look at the sound of the bell.
...
The progress of game research and development is very smooth, but near the line, many people in the studio are still inevitably some worried.
Zhong Ming did not deliberately conceal the release of things, so soon, everyone will know that "Taiwu Painting Volume" this game does not find other channel vendors, glimmer studio, their own!
Many people immediately smell a very unreliable smell...
However, when it came to see the bell ringing so calmly, everyone was still not too panicked.
Moreover, many people, including Fu Xing'an, also know that it is not the game that "Taiwu Draws" is too bad to find a channel, and it can be found, but the ambition of the bell is even greater.
In this way, even if they can't promote themselves at that time, the game will not be yellow, at most, they will go back to find the channel to sign the agreement.
As for Zhong Ming himself, he has been playing the "Taiwu Painting Book", which has been roughly completed, and is still writing some documents, what is specific, no one knows.
...
When I got home from work, the bell rang for dinner, opened the bracelet to look at it, and Zhao flashed online.
“The game you sent, how’s it going?“How many swords have been killed?”The bell asked.
Zhao flashing quickly replied: "I just want to Tucao, what a ghost this game, it is very difficult!"So much information, I played big, and now even the first squirre has not hit it... You give me a Raiders to see!”
Zhong Ming: "What Raiders, you first fumble yourself, you can ask me if you don't understand."Always thinking about eating ready-made, how can the brain fire?”
Zhao flash flash came to a "covered face" expression: "I think I may not be able to fire, as far as I am this IQ, the game can not understand ... but I really want to say that this game is really difficult..."
"Don't you keep saying you're smart, and it's time to prove it, and when you've figured it out, after three sword-stamps, I'll give you a little gift."The bell said.
Zhao Shingli: “Really?Well, I went on to the liver... but I really want to say that the funniest thing about this game is catching the moth...”
Turning off the chat window, the bells contacted several other people one by one, and asked them a little about their play.
Previously, including Tang Ying, Zhong Ming found several more famous single-player game anchors, as well as the video UP master, to send them a test version of the "Taiwu Drawer" to them.
No money, did not ask them to be publicity, introduction, just let them first fumble to play.
Some will be dissuaded, but most people will definitely be able to play in it.
All such anchors and UP masters are also struggling to find material everywhere, sometimes a fun, program effect and good game is unattainable, encounter this kind of game, they will spontaneously go to publicity.
These people each encountered some problems, and the bells answered them one by one.
Although the bell has made a certain magic change to the game, the difficulty of the game has been reduced a lot, but after all, the content of this game is too much, and many of the gameplay are completely different from the ready-made games on the market, which are to learn, so it is inevitable that the shell will be stuck.
However, the problem of the card shell is generally easier to answer, the bell casually mentioned two sentences, they also played.
There are several people here who have a very strong interest in the "Taiwu Painting", and various questions are constantly asked, which is obviously happy with the liver.
There is also a anchor, more than 3 o'clock in the evening to the bell ring message to ask questions, probably liver game liver to this time ...
It is precisely because the bell knows that these anchors can be pulled to promote them for him, so they dare to say "push their own".
Zhong Ming knew that "Taiwu Drawer" is a explosive game, if the sales volume is really millions, then just to distribute the money to the various channels, you have to 30 to 40 million.
Originally, Zhong Ming felt that it was slightly higher, so it would not be too bad, but I did not expect that all these channel vendors would disagree.
If this is the case, then simply push yourself, even if the player is less, the money earned will not necessarily be less, but it may be more.
After all, without the big head of the channel, every sales of money can be actually put into their own pockets.
Why is it that only the book has such a high treatment?
Because this game is different from the previous three games, it is very powerful!
The work dog survival manual is really strong at the beginning, but I have to admit that the game's two-week fun has seriously declined, and it can form a topic effect for a period of time, but soon the heat will inevitably decline.
"Lid way" and "ink and ink smoke" is also similar, are a week's work.
Therefore, these games and channel vendors to split the money, the bell is also acceptable, but "Taiwu drawing volume" is really divided to the channel dealer 30 or 40 million, that bell can vomiting blood.
This game is pushed by itself.
As for whether it can be pushed up, it depends on how much program effect these anchors and UP owners can produce.
