Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Wednesday.

Conference room.

Lu Mingliang was very nervous and also very grumpy.

Because the thighs that used to be able to rely on this table are gone!

Bao Xu didn't come to work yesterday. He was on paid leave for a month. President Pei forced him to go to major scenic areas around the country to play cards and exchange and study with various game companies.

Huang Sibao hasn't shown up recently, and he doesn't know where he intends to spend the million dream funds that Bai has given him.

The two bosses won't be up front anymore. Lu Mingliang suddenly took over the burden of implementing the main policy. Somehow he felt stressed!

At this meeting, Lu Mingliang was even more worried after President Bai stated the objectives of his recent work.

Because President Pei said that Neither Ghostbusters nor Fortress at Sea would schedule an update recently, all the manpower, or invest in research and development of the next game!

It was really unexpected and worrying to him.

In the normal mind, there are two successful games in hand, which is when you should earn money desperately.

Open a new version, make some new cards, and come up with a new epic weapon...

Being able to earn money lying on your back is a million bucks!

On this occasion, Lu Mingliang also happens to complete the handover of work.

It's the safest way to make a new version of Ghostbusters and Fortresses at Sea, adapt a little bit, grind them together, and then develop a new game.

However, President Pei did not have any plans to develop a new version, so he had to go directly to the new project!

This left Lu Mingliang, who had somehow succeeded in the implementation of the policy only two days earlier, in great panic.

Of course, Lu Mingliang is very clear that President Bai's arrangement must have his reasons.

Pei is always a constantly striving person, definitely not the kind of mediocre boss who counts money on a credit book.

Instead of developing a new version that makes money lying around, go ahead and set up a risky new project, which reflects President Pei's ambition, as well as his broad vision and heart!

“I've got ideas about new games, listen up. ”

At the top of the table, Bae Huan's calm and proud aura held the whole place easily, making Lu Mingliang more assertive in his judgment.

……

Pei Qian is out of the opposite mind.

Why not develop a new version?

Because of the development of the new version, it must be accompanied by the launch of the pay-per-view.

Either charge per DLC or add a new in-house purchase service.

The new version is completely free and is not allowed by the system.

But the problem is that Ghostbusters and Fortresses at Sea have a huge base of players and a high paying enthusiasm!

In this case, once a new version is released, the new payment point is likely to be instantly bought...

Therefore, Pei Qian feels that it is more reliable to open another new project. After all, it is much easier to smash a new project than to stir up an old project that has already succeeded!

Many new games go live and die, and even professional star producers have difficulty turning their backs;

And many successful old games, even if they die over and over again, still linger.

Therefore, Pei Qian decided to start another stove, and to learn from the previous lesson.

Where was the biggest mistake last time?

It's about trusting Huang Sibao and Bao Xu too much!

Bae Qian Wan didn't realize that his three point requirements had been misinterpreted into that way, but turned into a selling point for the game!

This time, Pei Huan decided to slightly strengthen his control over the whole game, and there must be no more "Fortress at Sea" kind of runaway situation!

He didn't even dare let Xiao Lu play freely anymore.

What if... Xiao Lu secretly and privately asked Bao Xu, or if he flashed his own spirit, and came up with a good idea!

So, Pei Qian is going to do one word at a time.

He looked around and said slowly: "This time, we're going to make a game with a history! ”

“Its name is…”

“Game Maker! ”

Everyone in the conference room gathered to look at Pei Qian.

Unconscious!

Sounds awesome!

Is this about transforming Tenda's story in the gaming industry into a game?

But this subject, to make a documentary, should be okay, to have an interview, should be okay, how can this be a game?

Everybody listen carefully.

Bae Huan had a bamboo in his chest.

“The content of the game is simple. Player plays a game producer. In the game, he needs to make constant choices, and each choice leads to a different ending. ”

“For example, you can freely choose what type of game you want, how you want to pay for it, how you want to promote it, etc. … At the same time, players can experience a series of emergencies. ”

“Eventually, players will develop a game and see the profitability and sales of the game after it goes live. ”

“This is probably the pattern, and you can always ask questions. ”

Everyone didn't speak and the expression on their faces was slightly obnoxious.

Pei Qian smiled with a smile on his chest.

Are you kidding me?

That's right!

This is a small topic that no one has ever done before, and the content is not attractive, there is no big scene to do, and the play method is even more unique!

The game industry is so bitter and boring, it certainly won't be fun to make games.

This subject, absolutely!

Even a small wave of players as a stand-alone game can be difficult to explode.

Spend more money buying art resources and selling at a lower price. It's easy not to recover the cost!

Of course, Pei Qian has another set of remarks about these people.

Lu Mingliang raised his hand first.

“General Pei, I understand the approximate process of this game. I want to ask, what is the form of the game? Is it a stand-alone game like text adventure? ”

The word adventure game, to put it bluntly, is the game of "talking to the paperman”.

This type of game is simple and versatile, simply create a series of 2D scenes and characters, and add a lot of text to make it easy to showcase the entire game.

According to Lu Mingliang's brain patch, the form of this game is closer to the Chinese-style Parent game production version.

Of course, Lu Mingliang doesn't know about the Chinese Parent game, but he has seen other text adventure games.

Pei Qian shook his head: "No. ”

Make a text adventure game? Of course not!

How much money can a text adventure game cost???

Just a few raw paintings, even if you find a few famous ones to dub in, you just cost a few hundred thousand dollars. Isn't that a water truck salary?

Now Fortress at Sea makes 450 grand a week, so much for new games, isn't it?

It doesn't solve the problem at all!

Pei Qian's budget for the new game has to be at least two million to make a loss!

Otherwise, hundreds of thousands of losses would not have been the same enemy in front of the two swinging money trees, The Ghost and The Fortress at Sea.

“We want all 3D scenes, all modeled with the highest 3D, be it characters or scenes, all with the best! ”

Lu Mingliang is stupid.

He can't imagine what that would look like!

How can it be offensive?

“All in 3D… text adventure class games?” Lu Mingliang asked.

“How did you end up in a text adventure game bar? ”

Pei Qian shook his head somewhat silently: "I'm not going to use word adventure in the form of games, too old! ”

“We want to wrap this game in a more abstract and modern way! ”
