Chapter 837 The "Survival Manual for Office Workers" That Caught You Unprepared (Ask for a Monthly Pass!)

Pei Qian put the plan of the annual meeting aside, planning to look at it later when he has time.

It's not that he's lazy, the main reason is that he doesn't care what to do about the annual meeting, and his priority here is not that high.

The first priority is to spend money, the second priority is to ensure that those industries that do not make money continue not to make money, and the third priority is to make those industries that have already made money earn less.

And holding the annual meeting to distribute benefits to employees is only a small part of the top priority.

"The most successful one in this cycle should be the incubation base of the Journey Plan."

"So far, only two independent games have been launched. One is popular but not popular, and the other is neither good nor popular. In short, neither of them made any money."

"Furthermore, judging from the development progress sent by Qiu Hongfa, the current progress of several relatively innovative games that he has given high hopes for is not enough to go online, and they will be released next month at the earliest. They should not cause me trouble before the settlement gone."

"Sure enough, the Qiertu Project did not live up to my expectations. It is still in a state of pure loss, and the outside world basically does not know that the Qiertu Project is made by Tengda."

"Fame and fortune are not collected, very good!"

Pei Qian happened to find the work report of Qiu Hong's incubation base, and was very satisfied with the current status there.

However, at this moment, Pei Qian's cell phone vibrated, and Qiu Hong sent a new message.

"President Pei, good news!"

"The "Survival Manual for Office Workers" is officially released today, and word of mouth and sales have exploded!"

Seeing this message, Pei Qian's previous smile froze on his face.

What the hell?

What is The Office Worker Survival Manual?

He hurriedly opened the report sent by Qiu Hong, which contained the names of all the indie games being developed in the incubation base, but he went through it from beginning to end, but he didn't see the so-called "Survival Manual for Office Workers".

"What the hell is going on!" Pei Qian was at a loss for words for a moment, feeling like his mind had collapsed.

Is it true that the agreed poor plan will not make money in this cycle?

Where did this game come from!

...

At the same time, Imperial Capital, Cherry Studio.

The owner and producer of the studio, Jiang Fan, and the chief designer, Yang Liang, were looking at the sales data in the backstage with joy.

Although it is not yet the Chinese New Year, this small team of four is as happy as the Chinese New Year.

Qiu Hong had already arrived, and the smile on his face could not be concealed at all.

The excited expression on Jiang Fan's face was beyond words: "Mr. Qiu! The success of this game is really thanks to your investment. If it weren't for this money, our game wouldn't be so complete and the development wouldn't be so smooth. The poor plan is really a timely help!"

Qiu Hong smiled and waved his hand: "That's too polite, I'm actually just investing in an independent game according to the boss's request. If you meet the requirements, I will vote. In fact, I didn't see before whether your game can be successful or not." .”

"To be honest, I didn't expect "Salaryman Survival Manual" to achieve such a good sales and performance. I thought it would be a small hit, but I didn't expect it to be a big hit!"

"I have to thank you all. Originally, the Poor Road Project has never had a representative work. Although my boss has not been held accountable, it is indeed a bit difficult for me to deal with. Now that a hit game is released, I am also proud of myself!"

The chief designer Yang Lianghan said with a smile: "In fact, the success of our game also has a lot of luck."

"There are so many 'community animals' nowadays, and everyone is an office worker. They feel empathy for the intrigue in the workplace and forced overtime, and hate them deeply."

"Now it's the end of the year again. News of the year-end awards and annual meetings of major companies spread all over the Internet. Everyone is busy picking lemons, which has a natural topicality."

"The "Survival Manual for Office Workers" well expressed the state of this kind of social animal, which aroused everyone's sympathy, and it spread instantly, which became a hit!"

Qiu Hong smiled: "This game's success is indeed inseparable from the overall environment. But your design and persistence are the fundamental reasons for the game's success!"

"Indie games are hard work, and there are very few people who can persevere. The four of you either resigned to start a business, or joined with a salary cut. This spirit is the most critical factor supporting your success."

"Okay, don't look at the data, let's have a good celebration, go out to eat barbecue, my treat!"

Jiang Fan hurriedly said: "How can it be done, I need to ask."

Qiu Hongyi raised his hand: "Don't argue with me, if you say I invite you, I invite you. Everyone hurry up and pack up your things, let's go now!"

Qiu Hong was as happy as Jiang Fan and others.

On the one hand, he is genuinely gratified to see the success of the independent game production team; on the other hand, he is also happy that a masterpiece game has finally appeared in the poor project.

Mr. Pei has high hopes for the Qiertu project, but so far no successful game has been released, Qiu Hong can't hold back this face.

Qiu Hong gets paid according to the amount of investment. Whether these games are successful or not has no effect on his income, but if there is no result, Qiu Hong will also feel very uncomfortable.

The success of Cherry Studio was a complete surprise to Qiu Hong.

Because the focus of Qiu Hong's recent work is still on the incubation base, but several games on the incubation base are still a certain distance from the official launch.

On the contrary, it is Cherry Studio. Qiu Hong has not paid attention to it since he invested in it. Today, he suddenly learned that their game has been released and exploded. Can you be unhappy?

Cherry Studio was not included in the incubation base.

Because the incubation base is aimed at those game producers who work alone and have no supporting services, while Cherry Studio is a four-person team with an office location and a clear division of labor. Although the sparrow is small and complete, it does not need to be included in the incubation base.

The only thing Cherry Studio lacked was funds. After Qiu Hong directly plugged the biggest funding gap, the art resources of the game were quickly put in place, and everyone no longer had to worry about the future. The work status has also been greatly improved. The game "Survival Manual for Office Workers" Naturally, it was successfully completed on schedule!

It was released just before the Spring Festival, just in time for hot spots in the workplace: annual meeting, year-end bonus, resignation wave, etc., which aroused widespread resonance on the Internet.

As a masterpiece of domestic stand-alone games and independent games, it is naturally enthusiastically sought after by players. Several game UP owners on Ellis Island have all made video programs, and the good program effects have attracted more players into the pit.

Qiu Hong waited for the others to pack up their things and go to eat. While waiting, he swiped his phone to check online reviews.

Basically, it can be said to be well received!

Although this is an independent game, there are bound to be some flaws in the gameplay, system and art, but the theme is relatively novel and can resonate with players, so tolerant players still ignore these flaws and give it a high rating. evaluate.

For Cherry Studio, as long as these flaws are corrected in the future, the completion of the game can be further improved, and the evaluation can be even higher.

Compared with the hard-working development, the subsequent modification is very simple.

After all, the game has been confirmed to be profitable. In the next few months, Cherry Studio will not have to worry about money at all. The game will be recognized by the players, and the work will be more motivated.

"Wait a minute, so I have something to do?"

Qiu Hong suddenly realized this problem.

He had always been a little confused about his work before, not knowing what to do.

Because he is in charge of the poor project, he only invests in independent game studios and producers, and cannot interfere with specific game design, so there is often a feeling that he cannot use his power.

Seeing that the sales of the two online games are not good, and the other games cannot be released this month, Qiu Hong feels that he has no achievements in his work, and there is no good way to do it in a hurry.

But now that The Office Worker Survival Manual has been a success, there's a reason for it!

Taking advantage of the popularity of this game, Qiu Hong intends to popularize the concept of "Project Poor" to the players.

There has been no successful game before, even if the concept of "The Poor Project" is forcibly instilled in the players, there will not be too many people paying attention. But now with the successful game, the situation is completely different!

Qiu Hong's goal is to make players hook up with the "Poor Road Project" as soon as they see an excellent domestic independent game.

Whether it is for other independent game producers, or for Qiu Hong and the entire Qiertu project, this is a very important part.

"Okay, that's it. Use the "Survival Manual for Office Workers" to give a publicity to the poor plan."

"At the same time, take out the DEMO and promotional video of "Ink and Cloud" and open a pre-sale!"

Qiu Hong felt that he had suddenly found the direction of his work, and became full of energy in an instant!

...

At the same time, Pei Qian was also searching for information about the "Survival Manual for Office Workers" on the Internet, but his expression was not ecstatic or gratified like Qiu Hong, but rather bewildered and bewildered.

The Poor Road Project is doing well, where did this broken game come from?

Moreover, this game can also become popular?

What's so popular about a game that restores the life of social animals?

Pei Qian browsed casually on the Internet, and soon found a highly praised player comment, expressing the players' love for this game.

"To be honest, this game is not very outstanding in terms of gameplay, graphics or details. It can even be said to be average. But its biggest advantage is that the theme is well selected, very real, and it resonates strongly with people."

"for example:"

"The company I joined is called 'Strive to Struggle Co., Ltd.';"

"The game's explanation for the lack of difficulty is: 'There is no difficulty option in the workplace, because everyone is facing a HARD+ mode';"

"If you can't meet the boss's expectations, the boss's satisfaction will decrease, and the chances of applying for a promotion and salary increase will decrease. But if you try to fulfill the boss's expectations, the more tasks you complete, the more difficult the task will be, while the satisfaction will increase more and more. slow……"

"These resonant points abound, which shows that the game designers are also well aware of the suffering of social animals."

"While being real, this game has a lot of metaphors. If you jump out of the game and look at the options as a bystander, you will feel that your life seems to be spent in this kind of helplessness. I am amused by the black humor While smiling knowingly, I can’t stop feeling bitter.”

"In short, as an independent game, it has completely exceeded my expectations."

"Many people think that a big production that burns hundreds of millions is a good game. There are no good games in China because they are not willing to burn money. This is obviously not the case."

"A really good game depends on whether the designer has a heart that really loves the game. Thanks to Cherry Studio, I will continue to support it in the future!"

"In the end, most of the endings of this game are a bit bitter, such as karoshi ending, mental breakdown ending, mediocrity ending, midlife crisis ending...all too miserable!"

"It is strongly recommended to add a 'Tengda Start', so that we can also imagine the beauty of the workplace!"
