Wednesday.
Conference room.
Lu Mingliang was very nervous and uneasy.
Because at this conference table, the thighs that I could rely on before are no longer there!
Bao Xu didn’t come to work yesterday and was on paid leave for a month. President Pei forced him to check in at major scenic spots across the country and visit various game companies for exchanges and studies.
Huang Sibo has not shown up recently, and it is not known where he plans to spend the 1 million dream fund given by Mr. Pei.
The two bosses will no longer be at the front. Lu Mingliang suddenly takes over the responsibility of executing the main plan, and feels a lot of pressure for no reason!
At this meeting, after Mr. Pei stated his recent work goals, Lu Mingliang became even more worried.
Because Mr. Pei said that "Ghost General" and "Sea Fortress" will not arrange update plans in the near future, and all manpower should be invested in the research and development of the next game!
This was really beyond Lu Mingliang’s expectations, and it also made him worried.
According to the normal thinking, when you have two successful games in hand, it is the time to make money desperately.
Open a new version, make some new cards, and release a new epic weapon...
You can make money while lying down, it's a huge profit!
Taking this opportunity, Lu Mingliang also completed the handover of work.
The safest way is to first make new versions of "Ghost General" and "Sea Fortress", get used to them a little, and then develop new games.
However, Mr. Pei has no plan to develop a new version at all, and is about to launch a new project!
This made Lu Mingliang, who had only inexplicably taken over as the chief executive officer two days ago, extremely flustered.
Of course, Lu Mingliang knew very well that Mr. Pei must have his own reasons for this arrangement.
Pei is always a person who is constantly striving for progress. He is by no means the kind of mediocre boss who just rests on his laurels and counts money.
Rather than develop a new version to make money, but to initiate new projects with great risks. This reflects Mr. Pei’s ambition, broad vision and mind!
"I already have an idea about the new game, please listen to it."
At the top of the conference table, Pei Qian's calm aura easily held the entire audience. This made Lu Mingliang strengthen his judgment.
However...
Pei Qian had completely opposite considerations.
Why not develop a new version?
Because of the development of a new version, it must be accompanied by the launch of payment points.
Either charge according to DLC, or add new in-app purchase services.
Completely free new versions are not allowed by the system.
But the problem is that the player base of "Ghost General" and "Sea Fortress" is very large, and the enthusiasm for paying is very high!
In this case, after the new version is released, the new payment points are likely to be sold out instantly...…
So, Pei Qian thinks it is more reliable to start a new project. After all, it is much easier to ruin a new project than to disrupt an old project that has been successful!
Many new games die suddenly upon launch, and even professional star producers find it difficult to turn things around;
And many successful old games are still lingering on even if they are repeatedly tricked into dying.
So, Pei Qian decided to start a new business and learn from the lessons learned last time.
What was the biggest mistake last time?
Because I trust Huang Sibo and Bao Xu too much!
Pei Qian never expected that his three requirements would be misinterpreted by them and become the selling point of the game!
This time, Pei Qian decided to slightly strengthen his control over the entire game, and he must not go astray like "Sea Fortress" again!
He didn’t even dare to let Xiao Lu play freely anymore.
What if... Xiao Lu secretly consults Bao Xu privately, or he has a flash of inspiration and comes up with another good idea!
So, Pei Qian wants to have a one-word speech.
He looked around and said slowly: "This time, we are going to make a game that will go down in history!"
"Its name is..."
"Game Producer!"
Everyone in the conference room looked at Pei Qian attentively.
I don’t know how powerful it is!
It sounds awesome!
Is this going to adapt Tenda’s story in the gaming industry into a game?
But on this subject, it should be possible to make a documentary or conduct an interview. How can this be made into a game?
Everyone listened carefully.
Pei Qian is confident and speaks eloquently.
"The content of the game is very simple. The player plays the role of a game producer. In the game, he needs to constantly make choices, and each choice will lead to a different ending."
"For example, you can freely choose the type of game, payment method, promotion strategy, etc... At the same time, players will also encounter a series of emergencies."
"In the end, players We will develop a game and see the profit and sales after the game is launched."
"This is probably the model. If you have any questions, you can ask them at any time."
< p>No one said anything, and the expressions on their faces were slightly confused.Pei Qian smiled confidently.
Confused?
That’s right!
This is a niche theme that has never been done before, and the content is not attractive, and there is no big scene, and the gameplay is very simple!
The game industry is so hard and boring, and it will definitely not be fun to make a game.
This kind of subject matter is absolutely amazing!
Even if it is an independent game and gathers a small wave of players,Home, it is difficult to become a hit.
When the time comes, spend more money on art resources and set the price at a lower price. It will be easy to not recover the cost!
Of course, Pei Qian has another way of talking about these people.
Lu Mingliang was the first to raise his hand.
"Mr. Pei, I understand the general process of this game. I would like to ask, what is the form of this game? Is it an independent game similar to a text adventure?"
Text adventure games, to put it bluntly, are games about "talking to paper people".
This type of game is simple to make and has a wide range of applications. You only need to create a series of 2D scenes and original character paintings, and then add a large amount of text to display the entire game content easily.
According to Lu Mingliang's imagination, the shape of this game is closer to the game production version of "Chinese Parents".
Of course, Lu Mingliang did not know the game "Chinese Parent", but he had seen other text adventure games.
Pei Qian shook his head: "No."
Made into a text adventure game? Of course not!
How much does a text adventure game cost? ? ?
With just a few broken original paintings, even if you find a few well-known voice actors to dub them, it will cost hundreds of thousands. Isn’t that just a drop in the bucket?
Now "Sea Fortress" earns four to five hundred thousand a week, but the total investment in the new game is only this much. Isn't this just a waste of time?
Doesn’t solve the problem at all!
Pei Qian’s budget for the new game must be at least two million to make a loss!
Otherwise, facing the two cash cows of "Ghost General" and "Sea Fortress", a loss of hundreds of thousands would not be the same enemy.
"We want all 3D scenes, all using the most advanced 3D modeling, whether it is characters or scenes, all using the best!"
Lu Mingliang was dumbfounded.
He couldn’t imagine what that would be like!
No matter how you think about it, it feels inconsistent!
“A text adventure game that uses all 3D materials?” Lu Mingliang asked tentatively.
"Why are you getting into trouble with a text adventure game?"
Pei Qian shook his head speechlessly: "I don't plan to use a text adventure game. Too old-fashioned!”
“We want to package this game in a more abstract and post-modern way!”
