So, what does it take to develop a game?

A programmer with awesome skills, a master plan who can control the rhythm of the game, and is responsible for level design, numerical and plot planning, plus an artist responsible for game modeling, action and design style?

Well, these are all needed.

Of course, you can also include all of these together, and then put it more simply and clearly, that is, small money!

If the development cycle of a game, as well as the development quality, are completely linked to money, then there is one point.

But it can definitely greatly reduce the difficulties encountered in development. The so-called development difficulties of most game development teams do not really mean that they encountered some kind of bottleneck in the development process, but simply that their budget funds are not enough for them to use the money. solve.

Yang Chen, who has hundreds of thousands of funds on hand and has made up his mind to outsource, is at least a lot easier than some independent game makers.

It was a little smoother than what Yang Chen thought, including UI, music, and art modeling and other outsourcing. Yang Chen directly contacted a second-tier outsourcing company in Jiang City.

Although the fees are a bit more expensive, the corresponding scale reputation and strength are also guaranteed to a certain extent.

After all, the game outsourcing industry is a mixed bag, and some small company studios with outsourcing signs even act as second-order dealers.

To put it simply, it is pimping and outsourcing the outsourced work to a third-party studio. This phenomenon is still quite common in this industry.

If you really want to meet it, then there will be a lot of bullshit. Even if you can get the money in the end, your game project will basically be finished.

Therefore, Yang Chen would rather spend a little more money to find a reliable outsourcing company than to find an outsourcing company with a lower price that he has never heard of.

"The price is so expensive!" Wang Yaliang, who was sleeping on Yang Chen's lap in the rental house, exclaimed in surprise while licking the ice cream while looking at the quotation from the outsourcing company.

"It's a bit expensive, but with some small outsourcing, it's easier for them to trust them; and eat less, don't eat badly." Yang Chen tapped on the notebook with both hands and looked at Wang Yaliang, who was sleeping on his lap. , moved without a trace.

After leaning on for almost half an hour, my thighs were almost numb.

"No...Yes...I only ate the second one today, and the first one was in the morning." Wang Yaliang, who was icy and cold, said inarticulately, wrapping the ice cream in his mouth.

"I made an appointment with the other party. I will go to the other party's company in the afternoon to see how they are doing. Would you like to go with me?" Yang Chen turned his head and looked at Wang Yaliang, who was sticking out his tongue and licking Qiao Lezi back and forth. She accidentally bit out a big gap in the ice cream under her startled gaze.

In general outsourcing projects, basically, the effect samples are transmitted online, and then you feel that you almost pay a deposit, and then pay according to the results.

As for the reason for going to the other party's company to talk, it is mainly because Chu Yang has some special requirements. It is best to explain it in person. This game can be said to determine his future destiny. Pass.

What's more, the other party's company is not far from Jiang City.

"Don't go, this afternoon's finale of the drama." Wang Yaliang bit the already eaten popsicle, thought about it for about two or three seconds, and then said decisively to Yang Chen.

"Okay." Yang Chen responded with an expression that was as expected.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Chen came to the high-tech industrial park in Jiangshi.

A game outsourcing company called 'Dream Chasing' is definitely not comparable to the well-known 'Vitas' in terms of fame, but it has also had some outstanding projects, and its strength is not bad. This is also Yang Chen. One of the main reasons to choose it.

The size of the company is not bad, there are about 20 employees working.

Taking a slanted glance at Yang Chen, he basically realized that most of them were making art materials for web games and mobile games.

From the character style, you can see it at a glance.

Inside the office, he moved the disposable teacup aside, and Yang Chen put his laptop on the table.

"Mr. Yang Chen, do you want to make a single-player pixel-style game?" A man in his thirties with glasses asked Chu Yang curiously.

Hu Jun, the boss of the "Dream Chasing" outsourcing company, actually doesn't really value Yang Chen's business, but he is still very surprised by the game Yang Chen wants to make.

After all, stand-alone games are really unpopular in China. Although it is not that there is no market, there is an obvious trend of polarization, especially for outsourcing companies like them.

Most of their businesses are mobile games, online games and web games, and they basically don’t receive a single order all year round for single-player games.

After all, companies that have the money to engage in stand-alone do not need to find them for third-rate outsourcing; and independent studios and independent game producers, because of the lack of development costs, wish that one programmer could complete all game development work.

So when Yang Chen told him about the type of games he developed, Hu Jun was really curious.

"That's right." Yang Chen nodded.

"It's not easy to do a stand-alone game!" Hu Jun couldn't help but sighed: "Especially when it comes to pixel-style games, to be honest, this kind of pixel-like game is really thankless, I remember that there was something else some time ago. Has the dungeon magic-themed pixel game died violently?"

Pixel wind, dungeon, magic theme...

I'm so sorry, you were talking about me!

But then again, if there is money, who wants to do low-res and who wants to do pixel? Who doesn't want to make the modeling in their game into high-definition 3D?

The expression on Yang Chen's face didn't change much, but he felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

"I believe in the game I'm going to make."

But soon Yang Chen thought of his dream memory, and the countless amazing games made Yang Chen full of confidence.

Maybe now I am really a little shrimp in the game industry, but I am no longer alone, I am standing on the shoulders of giants, and I have the wealth of another planet behind me.

Hu Jun didn't say anything about Yang Chen's self-confidence. Although he is not a big boss, he has been in this business for a long time. Before he started 'Dream Chasing', he saw him after he started 'Dream Chasing'. There are too many young people who are full of self-confidence and never look back.

"Chu Yang." Hu Jun called out, and after two seconds, a handsome young man knocked on the door and walked in.

"President Hu." Chu Yang walked into the door, glanced at Yang Chen who was sitting on the stool, and said to Hu Jun.

"Chu Yang, the art director of our company. Mr. Yang, if you have any specific requirements, as well as any requirements in terms of style, just ask Chu Yang directly." Hu Jun introduced Yang Chen.

After a few polite words, Yang Chen followed Chu Yang to his office.

A few minutes later, Yang Chen looked at the original sketch that Chu Yang drew according to his description, and shook his head: "No, it's not this style."

How to describe it?

Yang Chen was a bit at a loss for words, and didn't know how to describe the style of the game in his mind, as well as the monster style in it.
