Chapter 35 Wasted costs, but also saved costs

Her own poor cost control almost doubled the game's development budget, which was quite painful for Qiao Yi.

The project leader should be responsible to the boss.

Han Qi said to Qiao Yi: "I'm sorry, but my experience in developing games by myself is still somewhat lacking."

"There's something wrong with cost control."

"My original plan was that the development cost was 1000-1200 million, but it turned out to be almost 2000 million."

"It is my responsibility."

"In the process of production, I can actually save these overspending amounts."

"How about this, the part that exceeds 1200 million will be deducted in half from my share."

"It's an overspend of 800 million. When the game is on sale, you can deduct 400 million from me."

Han Qi took the initiative to share some less money in the sales.

Although Hanqi doesn't have much money for the time being, with the completion of the second game, Hanqi doesn't care about the millions anymore.

From the "violent motorcycle" on the antique platform, they have earned tens of millions of money.

After the "Age of Empires" game is released, it won't be too much to earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, right?

If you can earn that much money, it won't have any impact if you lose a few million at this time.

Han Qi is very kind and plans to pay for his work mistakes.

As a result, Qiao Yi said generously: "It's okay. The development cost of 2000 million is originally within my acceptance range."

"The value you show in your work is far more than a few million remuneration."

Qiao Yi said with a nonchalant expression: "Also, Mr. Han has made a seemingly good game in such a short period of time."

"It's worth it just to save time."

"Time cost is also cost!"

Han Qi was amused by Qiao Yi's indifferent expression, and simply nodded: "One thing to say, indeed."

"Time cost is also a cost, I agree with this."

Generally speaking, even a company or studio with a mature team and sufficient funds can produce at most two games a year.

For a standard assembly line game, it takes at least a few months from project approval to launch.

If it is those games that are not New Year products and are not produced in an assembly line.

It is not surprising that a game has been in production for several years.

And it took only ten days for Han Qi to develop this "Age of Empires - Outpost Battle".

If it goes well, it will take more than ten days for the follow-up work of listing and distributing goods.

In other words, the complete development and launch cycle of "Age of Empires - Outpost War" can be fully controlled within one month.

From the perspective of time cost, Han Qi really saved the boss a lot of time.

Spent a little more money, but saved a ton of time.

Based on this calculation, Han Qi feels that his work has been done fairly well.

The cost of the boss was not wasted.

What's more important is that everyone within the Yixing company has very high evaluations of Han Qi's "Age of Empires - Battle of Outposts".

At the internal trial meeting after announcing the completion of the game, Qiao Yi said with a very satisfied smile: "Thanks to everyone's cooperation, and thanks to our game design ghost—Mr. Han."

"Age of Empires - Battle of Outposts, completed quickly and well."

"Although I'm not a game expert, I can still see the ingenuity of this game."

"My father always wanted to make a war strategy game with a medieval theme."

"In the later stages of the decline of Yixing Company, it was this obsession that allowed my father to insist on running the company."

"Now, thanks to Designer Han!"

"I can declare that I have fulfilled my father's last wish. As a daughter, I am worthy of my father."

"As the person in charge of the Wing Star Game Company, he is also worthy of the name of our Wing Star."

"No matter what the sales volume of the game is after it is released, we have completed our task by making such an outstanding game."

After Qiao Yi finished speaking, she walked to Han Qi with a glass of red wine, raised Han Qi's arm, and held up the wine glass: "Let's toast to "Age of Empires - Outpost Battle"!"

"cheers!"

"Cheers to Mr. Han Qi's contribution to game development!"

"cheers!"

Han Qi also responded to everyone's cheers with a friendly smile.

Mou Tu came over and said to Han Qi: "Brother Han, I didn't expect that we really did it."

"We finished the game so quickly, and it's still such a great game!"

"I really look forward to the market's reaction after "Age of Empires" is released."

"I have a hunch that our "Age of Empires" will become a miracle on the Golden Hand platform."

Han Qile said: "Where is such an exaggeration, the market share of Jinshou platform has dropped now."

"However, I am also optimistic about the market reaction."

Several other employees also leaned over and expressed their admiration to Han Qi for his superhuman development speed.

It also expressed high praise for the rich content of the game after the trial play.

The menopausal lady, who was a little dissatisfied with Han Qi's arrogance at the beginning, now said to Han Qi sincerely: "I once thought you were a little arrogant."

"Designer Ghost, just made a small game on the PZ platform, and just pointed fingers at us old employees of regular companies."

"But now, especially after experiencing the rich content of "Age of Empires - Outpost Wars" first-hand."

"I can only say thank you."

"Being able to participate in the development of such an outstanding game."

"It's been an honor for my career."

"Now I hope that after the game is launched, it will be well received and popular, so that it will be easier for me to find a good job in the next 50 years of my working life."

After happily drinking a few more glasses, Mou Tu curiously leaned over to Han Qi and asked, "Brother Han, with your strength, it's a waste of talent to work for our little Yixing."

"You can go to a polar bear, or develop games on your own, why should you be a game development mercenary?"

"Although for a company like ours, Wing Star, which is in poor condition, Brother Han, you are the savior of game development."

"Whether this wave of Yixing is ZTE or a glorious curtain call, it is worth it!"

"I'm also very proud to be able to develop the game "Age of Empires" in Wing Star."

"But I still think it's too unfair for you, Brother Han, to work as a mercenary for our Wing Star!"

Han Qi thought to himself: This game company is not just started, the money I earn now is not enough to enter the threshold!
However, Han Qi also admitted that he was actually planning.

"My own game studio, that's definitely in the plan."

"However, before I formally set up my own company, I still have some plans to complete."

Mou Tu asked curiously: "What plan? Do you need any plan to start a company?"
