In the eyes of many people, crowdfunding is prepared for new companies with creative but no funds. It is aimed at new conceptual products.However, in the video game industry recently, this method of crowdfunding has become more and more popular -yes, what is said to appear on E3 2015 "Samu 3"."Shamu 3" just launched on Kickstarter, and immediately created various miracles.This is a bit strange to outsiders: Isn't it a game? It is not a black technology that promotes human progress.Hey, so the question is: What is the game crowdfunding? Why do people pay for the development of the game?

Creating a miracle game crowdfunding

Let's start with "Samu 3".

At the Sony conference at the E32015 exhibition not long ago, people have not slowed from the surprise of "Final Fantasy 7". The heavy bomb "Samu 3" instantly made them cry.When the official announcement of the game crowdfunding project was launched, and the famous game producer Suzuki Suzuki said, "the fate of the game is in your hands", the generosity of the players exceeded many people's expectations.

Data Speaking: Only 102 minutes after the crowdfunding plan of "Shamu 3", raised funds to exceed one million US dollars to break the Guinness record.As of press time, it has raised $ 349,4065, and it is still 26 days long after the fundraising.Even Chinese players, known for their "cuts", have donated 100 knives in one breath, showing that their energy is huge.

Even before "Samu 3", the crowdfunding of the game that was dazzling existed.For example, "Blood Pollution: The Rites of Night", which has exceeded 5 million US dollars, is at a speed of 4 hours at the speed of raising one million in "Shamu 3" "Torture: Tide of Monte", and the most famous onesThousands of "Star Citizens".

To say that here, "Sword of the Sword of the Sword" should also be considered one.Starting for five hours broke 300,000, and finally broke through 1.55 million results.Although the subsequent unit is the RMB not the US dollar, and this crowdfunding actually has a strong pre -sale nature, it is also surprising enough.

The mystery of the game crowdfunding

This bowl of rice in the game looks so fragrant. It seems that as long as you have ideas to play games, you can make crowdfunding to make money? How can it be so simple.As long as you look closely, you can find that these games that create miracles have one thing in common.

Let's take "Shamu 3".Why does its release make all players tears? Because this is a "life" series, 14 years have passed since the previous work "Samu 2".Although due to various factors, the first two sales of "Shamu" were bleak and almost defeated Shijia Company, but as long as you think about it, one can achieve the open sandbox world in 1999, real -time weather changes and complex character relationships and plotsGames, players can't like it.The second generation did not tell the whole story, and it regrets countless people.The moment the "Samu 3" announced the start of crowdfunding, the first reaction of many foreign game anchors was to pick up their mobile phones to donate money.

So what about other games? Let's take a look at: "Blood Pollution: Night Rites" is the spiritual sequel of "Devil City"; "Torture: Tide of Words of Monte" is the spiritual sequel of the god of "Exotic Soul Songs";"Star Citizen" is the next giant system for the producer of the masterpiece "Free Gun Cavalry"; as for "Sword Six" ... Do you still use it?

When you see this, everyone understands that the success of the crowdfunding of the game is almost the only one that is: feelings.Put aside these emotional preparatory teams, because they have not enough money to directly die on Kickstarter.

Why are we generous?

Why do we pay for those games that can not be released in the end, and help them bear some development costs, and even if they have to pay another money after they are known for their sale? In fact, "feelings"The word two can really explain everything.

Now the game industry is unprecedented, coupled with the inevitable development scale brought by the progress of game technology, the phenomenon of mass production is extremely serious.The players played the current game in a tasteless way, and they couldn't help remembering the happiness when playing those classic gods.At this time, the well -known producers who were familiar with them suddenly appeared, bringing the sequels or spiritual sequels of those games in our memory.What else can we think of?

But then again, if we play the current game to us before, we will definitely shout.In other words, is it really so out of the gods in the past? The game industry has changed, but it is probably ourselves.Players want to find the feeling of "first love" in the same year, which makes these feelings look so magical.

Is crowdfunding?

As we mentioned at the beginning, the initial purpose of crowdfunding was to allow those who lack funds but creative teams to get funds, but these successful game crowdfunding seemed to be a bit different.

The development of "Shamu 3" has no shortage of funds at all, because there is a Sony Boss who is wrapped, and crowdfunding is only to test the market response; "Blood Pollution: Night Rites" many game characteristics require the amount of donationSuspected; how many of the 70 million miracles in Star Citizens are the development team that the development team's secret donation is still unclear; the crowdfunding of "Xianjian VI" is actually pre -sale that attracts attention.Although the player did not hesitate to donate the model without hesitation, games, including "Star Citizen", have not been officially released until now, and the ultimate quality is unknown.In such an unknown way, will we continue to be generous for those game projects we like?
