1st Case - Book Reader Project
Trying to create something “Practical” Through Connections, get to meet the Top
Brass in News Publishing firms
Listened, but Not interested
What happened?
The Person I talked to isn’t a Tech Person Assumed that the person know how to
utilized it
What were the Problems?
Talk to Tech person from his firm first Properly Explain the benefit
Possible Solution?
You
The Black Prince, Legend of King Naresuan◦ A Fantasy 3D Action Game, based on the historical
event of King Naresuan
SE Spirits◦ A Musou type Action Game, Based on the event of
2nd Fall Of Ayutthaya
2nd Case – History Based Game
I had a chance to talk with an investor, and it was decided that I am going to develop a Game Project for them
What happened?
The Investor is not a Gaming Person The Investor age is around 60 The Firm is not a Game-Based Company The People who take care of the Project,
aren’t Gamers or Developers
Some really big Issues
…An idea by the staff…We will have a child running
around in Chiang Mai collecting
The Project must be based on something that the Investor understand
Can Guarantee Profit Can Develop Want to Develop
Proposal Agenda
Onimusha Style King Naresuan
Musou Style 2nd Fall of Ayutthaya
Proposals
King Naresuan got Approved! ……….. …… …… .. ..
.
Result?
HOWEVER!!!
This came up….
Don’t we need Permission if we are going to use the King?
…After Asking around…
Someone with Political Standing &
Power
Stop this nonsense
PROJECT CANCELLED
After Last Event, it was decided that a Subsidiary Company is to be setup
3rd Case – Setting up a Company
Need to get Personnel before Company can be setup
Company doesn’t get registered yet, so, nobody applied
=>Eternal Loop
Administrative people weren’t helping
Problems…
An attempt at contacting someone by the staff
Listen, the man asked for 20K salary!
ต๊�ายดู�สิ�เธอ ขอต๊��ง20Kแนะ
To work around this….
Please Help
Call a friend who run an IT company Make it a Joint Project to get started
Gradius + Space Harrier Style Sudsakorn
Proposed New Project
Budget Calculation have to be made on Friend’s side
Need to have everything designed out in order for the approximation to be made
Majority of Technical Documents must be complete before the Project can even be approve!!!
A really BIG Issue
Spent Months on the Documents
Investor started pouring in his visions
Then this happen…
Asean have 600million population, we will put in Asean locations to make
them play our game!
New Project Care-Taker is a 60yrs Old woman who probably never play a Computer Game before in her life
Furthermore…
Isn’t this too expensive?How can I make sure
you won’t runaway after investment? Will this
really be profitable?
Contact couldn’t even be made
unless going there in Person
PROJECT CANCELLED
Cannot guarantee profit on the new Project Did not provide necessary Marketing Data
Did not get enough Sleep before Negotiating
Problems on my Part
Staying at home and do the Project that I wanted to do on my own
Aftermath…
