Chapter 78 Game name: "Game Producer"!
Wednesday.
meeting room.
Lu Mingliang was nervous and apprehensive.
Because on this conference table, the thighs that I could rely on before are gone!
Bao Xu didn't come to work yesterday, and he was on paid leave for one month. Boss Pei forced him to go to major scenic spots across the country to check in and go to various game companies to exchange and study.
Huang Sibo hasn't shown up recently, and he doesn't know where he plans to spend the 100 million dream fund given by Mr. Pei.
These two bosses will no longer be at the front, and Lu Mingliang suddenly took over the burden of carrying out the main policy, inexplicably feeling a lot of pressure!
At this meeting, after Mr. Pei stated his recent work goals, Lu Mingliang became even more worried.
Because Mr. Pei said that neither "Ghost General" nor "Sea Fortress" will arrange an update plan in the near future, all the manpower should be invested in the development of the next game!
This was really beyond Lu Mingliang's expectation, and it also made him worried.
According to the normal way of thinking, with two successful games in hand, it is time to make money desperately.
Open a new version, make some new cards, and release a new epic weapon...
Being able to make money lying down is simply a huge profit!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Mingliang also just completed the handover of work.
It is the safest way to make a new version of "Ghost General" and "Sea Fortress" first, get used to it a little bit, get used to it, and then develop a new game.
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 inexplicably took over as the chief executive two days ago, feel extremely flustered.
Of course, Lu Mingliang knew very well that Boss Pei must have his own reasons for making such arrangements.
Pei is always a person who keeps forging ahead, not the kind of mediocre boss who counts money on the credit book.
Instead of developing a new version to make money while lying down, but to establish a new project with high risk, this reflects Mr. Pei's ambition, as well as his broad vision and mind!
"I already have an idea about the new game, let's listen to it."
At the top of the conference table, Pei Qian's calm aura easily held the audience, making Lu Mingliang more firm in his judgment.
however……
Pei Qian had completely opposite considerations.
Why not develop a new version?
Because of the development of a new version, it is necessary to launch a payment point.
Either charge according to DLC, or add new in-app purchase services.
The completely free new version is 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 release of the new version, the new payment points are likely to be sold out instantly...
Therefore, Pei Qian thinks it is more reliable to start another new project. After all, it is much easier to destroy a new project than to mess up an old successful project!
Many new games die suddenly when they go online, even a professional star producer can hardly turn things around;
And many successful old games, even if they repeatedly die, are still lingering.
Therefore, Pei Qian decided to start anew, and learn from the lessons from last time.
Where was the biggest mistake last time?
It's because they trust Huang Sibo and Bao Xu too much!
Pei Qian never expected that his three requirements would be misinterpreted by them like that, and turned into the selling point of the game instead!
This time, Pei Qian decided to strengthen his control over the entire game a little bit, and there must be no more deviations like "Sea Fortress"!
He didn't even dare to let Xiao Lu play freely anymore.
What if...Xiao Lu secretly asked Bao Xu for advice, or he had a flash of inspiration and came up with a good idea!
Therefore, Pei Qian is going to have a talk once.
He looked around and said slowly: "This time, we are going to make a game that will be famous in history!"
"Its name is..."
""Game Producer"!"
Everyone in the conference room looked at Pei Qian intently.
I don't know why!
It sounds awesome!
Is this to adapt the story of Tenda in the game industry into a game?
But for this subject matter, it should be possible to make a documentary, and it should also be possible to hold an interview. How can this be made into a game?
Everyone listened carefully.
Pei Qian was confident and spoke eloquently.
"The content of the game is very simple. The player acts as a game producer. In the game, he needs to make constant 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 will develop a game and see the profitability and sales of this game after it goes live."
"Probably like this model, everyone can ask any questions at any time."
Everyone didn't speak, and the expressions on their faces were a little confused.
Pei Qian smiled confidently.
Confused?
That's right!
This is a niche theme that no one has ever done before, and the content is not attractive, and there is no way to make a big scene, and the gameplay is very simple!
The game industry is so hard and boring, it will definitely not be fun to make a game.
This kind of theme, absolutely rush!
Even if it gathers a small group of players as an independent game, it is difficult to become a blockbuster.
At that time, it will be very simple to spend more money to buy art resources, set the price lower, and not recover the cost!
Of course, Pei Qian had another way of saying things to these people.
Lu Mingliang was the first to raise his hand.
"President Pei, I understand the general flow of this game. I want to ask, what is the form of this game? Is it an independent game like a text adventure?"
Text adventure games, to put it bluntly, are "talking to paper people" games.
This type of game is easy to make and has a wide range of applications. It only needs to create a series of 2D scenes and original drawings of characters, and then add a lot of text to easily display the entire game content.
According to Lu Mingliang's imagination, the form of this game is closer to the game production version of "Chinese Parents".
Of course, Lu Mingliang didn't know the game "Chinese Parents", but he had seen other text adventure games.
Pei Qian shook his head: "No."
Make it into a text adventure game?Of course not!
How much does a text adventure game cost? ? ?
Just a few broken original paintings, even if you find a few well-known voice actors to dub, it will only cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, isn't that a drop in the bucket?
Now "Sea Fortress" has to earn 50 million yuan a week, but the new game has only invested so much in total. Isn't this just stopping the boiling water?
Doesn't solve the problem at all!
Pei Qian's budget for the new game has to be at least 200 million yuan, so that it is possible to make losses!
Otherwise, in the face of the two cash cows of "Ghost General" and "Sea Fortress", the loss of hundreds of thousands would not be an enemy at all.
"We want a full 3D scene, all using the most advanced 3D modeling, whether it is a character or a scene, all use the best!"
Lu Mingliang was dumbfounded.
He couldn't imagine what kind of picture that would be!
How do you think there is a sense of violation!
"A text adventure game that uses all 3D materials?" Lu Mingliang asked tentatively.
"Why are you on the fence with text adventure games?"
Pei Qian shook his head speechlessly: "I don't plan to use a text adventure game, it's too old-fashioned!"
"We want to package this game in a more abstract and post-modern way!"
I don't have a good recommendation for next week, basically it's like streaking, I can only ask for two more tickets~ The plot of this original game will be quite special.Some people may feel that this game will not be popular at first, it doesn't matter, everyone just wait patiently and look back.
