Almighty Game Designer

Chapter 154 No Cost Control (2/17)

The Yin Yang Master's big framework planning is relatively clear. Although after the iteration of countless card games, it has played very differently from "My Name is MT", the kernel is still consistent, with card extraction, cultivation and line-up as core fun.

In terms of production, it is more difficult in terms of image quality, modelling, etc. Especially the model, Yin Yang Master, is very precise, which is higher than both Warcraft Competition and Wulin Herald, previously developed by Chen Jiao.

In addition to the model, background music, sound dubbing, character original painting, etc. all require a lot of work, but these are relatively easy to solve, mainly money problems.

In the planning of Chen Jiao, the design outline of "Yin Yang Master" is divided into six main aspects, namely, Yin Yang Master system, drama exploration, fighting techniques, social modules (Yin Yang dormitory, mail, chat, etc.), soul and shop related, and other systems (summoning, drawing, etc.).

The most fundamental is the style god, the Yin Yang master, the soul-related battle system, followed by the dramatic exploration, after the two pieces are made, everything else is good to say.

The play method of domestic card players is relatively simple, the main difficulty lies in card attributes, numerical values and derivative play, so the basic concept draft did not take too much time to get old, and was quickly written.

Chen Qiao sent the concept draft and Abe Qingming's line draft to Su Jinyu and went downstairs.

……

After receiving the concept draft sent by Chen Yu, Su Jianyu has not taken a serious look. Wen Lingwei and Qian Qian have already come together.

The two of them were basically the best at this game, and as soon as they heard the draft concept came out, they came around.

Everyone stunned when they saw Abe's clear line.

“What the hell, Abe? Isn't this the famous Yin Yang master in the history of mud bombing?” Zheng Hongxi was surprised.

Wen Lingwei said: "Yeah, the style of this outfit is also Japanese style, the manager is going to do this subject? ”

Zheng Hongxi said with a bit of a tangle: "Can you do that? Now the IP of card games is more powerful than one, Yin Yang Master is not a very popular subject in the country. Looks like the manager is going to create his own IP again? ”

Su Jinyu looked through the design concept draft: “The store manager wrote in the concept draft that he wanted to play boutique games, but also asked the professional voice to use Japanese dubbing? From the draft concept, this game is a lot more complicated than" My name is MT ". ”

“I don't know if I can do it or not, I'm afraid I won't like it in China! ”

Everybody's a little worried.

We were discussing it. Chen Jiao went downstairs.

“Come to the conference room and let me briefly talk about the game's development planning.” Chen Qiao walked towards the conference room as he spoke.

Wen Lingwei followed him: “I also asked to be heard! ”

Chen Jiao nodded: “Sure, whatever. ”

Sitting in the conference room, Jia Peng couldn't wait to ask: "Master, what game is it this time? Is it a game like" I'm MT "? ”

Su Jinyu also asked: "Is it a money game? ”

“Oh, this is a very cured game of conscience," said Chan. ”

Su Jinyu was relieved: “Oh, that's good. ”

Qian Zheng's face turned over the concept draft again: “Hmm? Sir, are you sure? I see the summoning system and cultivation system planning for this game, but it doesn't heal at all. ”

"When I say healing, I mainly refer to the dramatic aspect. In the background story of this game, this is a time of human ghost symbiosis, where Yin and Yang masters want to maintain the balance between the two worlds. And there are a lot of moving monsters and people's stories. Most monsters have pathetic origins. Can this play not be cured? ”

Zheng Hongxi flipped over the draft concept: “Well... this story seems to be quite healing. ”

Money scratched his head and felt something was wrong, but he couldn't find a reason to rebut it at once.

Chen Qiao continued: “In fact, this game, you can understand it as an advanced version of" I'm called MT ". The kernel is consistent with" I'm called MT ". It's all about card acquisition, cultivation, matching, and rivalry, but the expression changed from card to 3D model. ”

Qian Qian came to the spirit, his eyes glanced out: “So, manager, it's still a game of pit money, right? ”

The corner of Chen's strange mouth was slightly twitched: “Well, you can understand that. ”

Zheng Hongxi said: "Well, manager, I have a question. Since it's a card game, then IP should be important, right? Now card games on the market, no big IP is ashamed to say hello. The theme we do may be quite good in mud bombing. If you are in China, are there still a few players who really care about the Yin Yang Master theme? ”

Chen Jiao nodded: “Yes, it's a minority at the moment. ”

Wen Lingwei asked: "How are you going to fire this IP? Or do the same animation as" I'm MT "? ”

Chen Jiao shook his head: "Don't do anime, don't do anything. The game itself has the ability to create its own IP. ”

Everyone was stunned: "Ah? Are you serious? ”

Chen smiled. “Really. That's why we have to be at the top of the game, including original paintings, models, scenes, music, lines, dubbing, etc., and have to be able to crush any other card game on the market. ”

Su Jinyu frowned slightly: “Crush any other card games? That's a little difficult. ”

Chen Jiao shook his head: “Not high, not high at all. In fact, money is the problem. So, goldfish, when you're looking for an outsourcing company, you go straight to the highest specifications, and it doesn't matter if you pay $20,000 for an original painting, this time at no cost to us in terms of art and music. And dubbing, go to contact people who are famous for mud bombing, the money goes up, it must be worthy of our satisfaction. ”

Everybody's staring at each other. $20,000 a picture? Still looking for fame?

The original painting of "My name is MT" was only $2,000 a picture, and it's worth ten times the price. It's too much blood! Combined with the model and the action, the cost of this one-way god can break through the sky, which is more expensive than the previous Warcraft Competition model!

Even though Chen has money now, it's a little unexpected to burn so much money.

Qian Qian hesitated to say: “Dear store manager, if there really is no cost, then the R&D costs can be in the tens of millions...”

Chen Jiao nodded: “Yeah, what's wrong? Millions of levels? The Warcraft Games CG cost over 30 million. ”

Jia Peng scratched his head: “Of course I can't compete with Warcraft, but this is a hand swim..."

"Rest assured, it won't be less profitable than Warcraft. Let's put it this way, R&D costs don't need to be controlled, especially the art and music resources related to game quality, all the best, don't worry about money. ”

Wen Lingwei said, "My God, the store manager is so generous! I'm really not used to it! ”
