"Alright, I believe you this once. There are more than 400,000 on the card. Your previous salary, the money from "Monster Dungeon" and all my savings are in it. It was originally planned to be paid for our new house. This time you If the balance is lost, the down payment for our house will be gone."

Luna, who came out of the room and walked to John, bit her lips and took out a Bank savings card from her pocket.

Looking at the bank card stuffed in his hand, John opened his mouth for a bit without saying a word.

"The first thing I want to say was not the money I gave you in vain, it was an investment I made and I want to be a boss in a new company. If you fail to start a business, you will lose yourself to me." Luna pounced on John's body, two hands pinched each side of his face, and smiled.

Holding the card in his hand is very light, but John feels heavy, very heavy.

After half a period, John looked at the woman lying on his body like a koala and suddenly smiled: "Okay, Mrs. Luna-!"

My last life must be a good person.

"So, next... Comrade John, can you tell President Luna, where did you get the money to buy cigarettes?"

John: Σ(°ロ°) !!!

"I'm a bit overwhelmed in the city, let's go home for a while."

They only have more than 400,000 as start-up funds, but John is not a freeloader. This situation has been fought for several years, in addition to being the master planner of the game twice, John knows what is needed for the development of a game.

More than 400,000, if you continue to stay in the city, the cost of living alone will consume a large part of the capital. In addition to the office space, and the necessary funds such as staff salaries, it is a large part of the expenditure. And with the dream memory in his head, John has already decided what the first game is about to do.

"I will listen to you, anyway, I will go wherever you go." There is no image of a lady stretched lazily, leaning back on the sofa and leaning back, Luna looked at John with wide eyes and said seriously.

"However, only two of us are very difficult to make a game," Luna said a little bit distressed at what she thought of.

When Luna studied at the university, she didn't learn anything about games, but she majored in Political Science. After graduating from university, she entered the company under John's back door and took up administrative work. She's quite good at playing games, but if you are doing games, even if her boyfriend is a game producer, she has a lot of tips.

"The problem is not very big and this time I plan to outsource most of the content. The main values, level design, and art style are all carried out by me. The procedures are handed over to the freelancer." John explained to Luna, although he knew that the girl probably didn't understand what these things were.

In general independent game development, there are only a few people. Most often, their number does not exceed 10 experts, and among the group, it includes programs, values, level design, creativity, copywriting, music, art, etc. all involved. Therefore, the development cycle of general independent games will be longer than that of large-scale games. For example, if all outsourcing, a game production cycle is 1 month, 300,000 is required. And a small team of only three people by themselves, the production cycle is 1 year, but the cost is only 100,000.

So many independent game teams will choose the latter solution. John used this method before. Similarly, although this method saves costs, many uncontrollable things will happen in the long production cycle. For example, the game he wants to develop already has the same type online. For example, you are developing an RPG game, and the trend of RPG games has passed in the past, these are very unfavorable and unstable factors.

So this time John decided to take the first plan, because he needed quick success, and those games in his memory gave John some confidence to succeed. Even if it is not the same world, a successful game is a successful game. It is impossible to say that a person who knows nothing makes him reborn once. Without learning and charging, he can become the richest man in the world. With some things, it is not difficult to become a rich man, but it is impossible to become the richest man.

"Um... um." John looked at Luna, who pretended to understand and nodded, suddenly unable to help but smile.

***

Three days later, from the city to the countryside.

A two-bedroom, one-room simple-decorated house, with a monthly rent of 900, and a 60-square-meter three-bedroom pure blank house, 400 a month's rent, water and electricity costs. Three highly equipped computers, as well as corresponding desks, office chairs, and water dispensers, among the more than 400,000, he has spent over 1,000. It is mainly used for rent prepayment. As for the computer, it was used when developing "Monster Dungeon".

"This is my small vault, don't fail-!" Luna's face was flushed, panting, and the luggage was put in place. She turned and lay down on the bed, looking at John, who was installing the router next to him.

Hearing Luna's words, John who installed the router couldn't help but laugh: "It's too late to regret now?"

"Huh, I don't regret what I said. I traded 400,000 for your whole life, I made a lot of money." Luna's mouth twitched slightly, hummed slightly, and then asked with a little worry: "Next, what should I do? Go to the talent market for external recruitment?"

She didn't have a little experience with these things. She gave John all the money and then went from the city to her hometown. She just believed John, but now she calmed down, she felt a little too much. She was too hot-headed and then decided to start a business. Even though she had returned to her hometown, she did not dare to tell her parents.

"It's useless to go to the talent market, there is no real talent in itself, and those who are capable will not choose to join us." John shook his head and said.

Although he wanted to form a team, John had to admit that he could not set up now. Press through it with money? Unrealistic, because now what he lacks most is money. Fooling? It's even more unrealistic. He has a case; if "Dungeon of the Monsters" succeeds, he can fool, but the problem is that it is a failure.

"Looking for the outsourcing of the studio, including UI, art, and programs are all outsourced. The main design, values, and related cards, and copywriting are my own." John has almost thought about it.

There are more than 400,000 funds left, which is enough. Of course, he didn't dare to say this before, but with the memory of his dreams, everything in the game is clearly remembered in the brain. The values ​​are also related to the design. Although it is a bit complicated but not difficult to reverse engineer, it is not difficult.

Copy the same UI, art, and copy, and then change some according to the actual situation.
