What do you need to develop a game? A master strategy that can control the rhythm of the game, as well as level design and numerical and plot planning, plus art responsible for game modeling actions and design style? Well, these are needed. Of course, you can include all of them together, and then put it simpler and clearer, that is, small money. The development cycle of a game and the quality of its development, if it is to be completely linked to money, then it is absolute.

It can greatly reduce the difficulties encountered in development. The so-called development difficulties of most game development teams do not mean that some kind of bottleneck is encountered during development, but that their budget funds are not enough to allow them to spend money to solve them.

With a decent amount of funds in hand, John, who has made up his mind to look for outsourcing, is at least more trouble-free than some independent game makers.

Compared with what John thought, including UI, music, and art modeling outsourcing, John directly contacted an outsourcing company in the area. Although the fee is more expensive, the corresponding scale of word of mouth and strength are also guaranteed. After all, the game outsourcing line is considered to be a mixed fish, and some small company studios with outsourcing brands may even act as second-hand traffickers.

In simple terms, it is pimping and outsourcing outsourced work to third-party studios again. This phenomenon is quite common in this line. If you run into it, but then there will be some mischief, even if you can finally get the money, then your game project is finished.

Therefore, John is willing to spend a little more money to find a reliable outsourcing company, and he is not willing to find those outsourcing companies that have lower prices but have never heard of it.

"The price is so expensive-!" Inside the rental house, Luna, who was sleeping on John's thigh, looked at the quotation from the outsourcing company and licked the ice cream in surprise.

"It's a bit expensive, but with some small outsourcing, they are more likely to be trusted and eat less, don't want you to get a bad tummy." John put his hands on the notebook, watching Luna sleeping on his lap, move without a trace.

He has been leaning for almost half an hour, and his thighs are almost numbed.

"No... yes... I only took the second one today, the first one was in the morning." Luna, who wrapped the ice cream in her mouth, said coldly.

"I have an appointment with the other party. I will go to the other company's company in the afternoon to see their situation. Would you like to go with me?" John turned his head, watching Luna licking the ice cream with her tongue back and forth, taking advantage of when she was sloppy, he took a bit of the ice cream out of a big gap under her startled eyes.

General outsourcing projects transfer the effect samples through the Internet and then feel that almost a deposit is paid, and then pay according to the results. As for the reason for going to the other company's company, it's mainly because John still has some requirements, so it is best to be able to explain in person. This game can be said to determine his destiny in the future. Forever.

Not to mention that the other party's company is not far from the area.

"I don't want to go, the finale of the Drama show is this afternoon." Luna bit the ice cream that had been eaten, thinking for about two or three seconds, then said decisively to John.

"I am leaving." John showed a look like this and should respond.

Around two o'clock in the afternoon, John went to a company. A game outsourcing company named "Forestfruit Sports", wants to say fame that it can't be compared with the famous "Grizzlyworks", but there are some projects that can be done, and their strength is not bad. This is also one of the main reasons for choosing it. The size of the company is okay, about twenty employees are working at the moment. John squinted, and most of them were making art materials for page games and mobile games. It can be seen at a glance from the character style.

In the office, moved the disposable teacup aside, John put his laptop on the table.

"Mr. John, do you want to do pixel-style stand-alone games?" A man with glasses in his thirties asked curiously about John.

Norbert Bowers, the boss of the "Forestfruit Sports" outsourcing company, actually doesn't value John's business very much, but he is still very surprised by the game John wants to do.

After all, stand-alone games are not popular in the country. Although it is not without a market, it is polarized, especially for outsourcing companies like them. Most of their businesses are mobile games, online games, web games, and stand-alone games that do not receive one order all year round.

After all, companies with money to build stand-alone machines do not need to find third-party outsourcing; independent studios and independent game producers, because of the lack of development costs, want a programmer to complete all game development work. So when John told him about the types of games he developed, he was curious.

"Yes." John nodded.

"The stand-alone line is not easy to do-!" He couldn't help but sigh: "Especially the pixel-style game, to be honest, this kind of pixel-like game is very unappreciated, I remember some time ago, there was a magical pixel game in the dungeon flopped?"

Pixel, underground city, magic theme... I'm sorry, but I am the one you are talking about. But then again, if you have money, who wants to do low resolution, and who wants to do pixels? Who doesn't want to make the modeling in his game into high-definition 3D?

John's expression on his face didn't change much, but there was a little embarrassment in his heart.

"I believe it is the game I want to do."

But soon John thought of his dream memory. The countless amazing games filled John with confidence. Maybe I am a small fish in the competition, but I am not alone, I am standing on the shoulders of giants, and I have the wealth of another world behind me.

Norbert didn't say anything about John's self-confidence. Although he wasn't a big guy, he had also mixed this line for a long time. He hadn't seen it before he started the company, and he had seen it after the creation. Some too many young people are full of self-confidence and don't hit the wall or look back.

"Barton," Norbert shouted outside, and after two seconds, a handsome young man knocked on the door and walked in.

"President." Barton Ferrell walked into the door, glanced at John sitting on the stool, and then toward Norbert.

"Barton is our company's art director. Mr. John, what specific requirements do you have, and what are your style requirements, just talk to him." He introduced him to John.

After a few words, John followed Barton to his office.

After a few minutes, John looked at the original sketch drawn by Barton according to his description and shook his head: "No, not this style."

How to describe it? John is a little bit lacking. He doesn't know how to describe the style of the game in his mind and the monster style.
