Game production: I created Mihoyo

After the promotional videos of the two new games were released, Penguin Easy Network announced the launch dates of the games one after another.

They deliberately set the launch dates one week apart, so that everyone could launch their own games without interfering with each other.

In fact, the two were still a little worried, fearing that Mihoyo would deliberately target them.

For example, they would pick the day when their game is launched, update a version, hold some activities, and so on, and the number of players would definitely decrease by more than half.

They are not afraid of conspiracies, but they are afraid of this kind of conspiracy!

They use the popularity of the game to pressure you, and you can't resist and can only accept it silently with gritted teeth.

They have always been the ones to suppress others, and now it's their turn, and they know how aggrieved this feeling is.

But what they didn't expect was that Mihoyo didn't seem to have such plans.

While they were relieved, they also felt that they were looked down upon. Is it not worth it for Mihoyo to target us, the great Penguin Easy Network?

Humans are such complicated creatures.

**

Mihoyo Company.

Xu Shuo eventually rented two more floors because he didn't have enough money.

It wasn't the rent, it was the money to develop Genshin Impact.

In the previous life, Genshin Impact cost 100 million US dollars, and a team of 400 people worked on a 3A-level game for three years.

And this world has the memory bank in his mind, which will inevitably save a lot of detours. Because the planners in the previous life spent a lot of time thinking about how to make the game, and Xu Shuo can just copy it and save a lot of time.

But even so, the size of the game is here, and the development time will take at least 1 year, and it goes without saying how difficult it is to develop an open world game. If you encounter a problem, the time will be delayed. The most critical issue is funding. Even if the investment does not require 600-700 million RMB, about 500 million RMB is still required.

But Mihoyo has only been established for more than a year, and the turnover is only nearly 2 billion.

But this is just turnover! Currently, Mihoyo has 400 employees, and the monthly salary is more than 7 million yuan. In addition, there are various benefits, afternoon tea, team building... At least 10 million yuan will be spent every month, plus expenses such as taxes and a sum of money to keep in case.

It is really impossible for Mihoyo to pay 500 million yuan at once.

So Xu Shuo's current plan is to establish the project first, follow the development process of"Honkai Impact 3", and divide the game into different modules.

Let the art and other modules that can be done first, and then slowly add people and funds to it to do other modules!

At the same time, during the development of Genshin Impact, Xu Shuo can start another project to make money.

It is best to develop a project with medium and low difficulty and first-class money-making ability, so as to realize the monetization of the game as soon as possible to provide funds for Genshin Impact.

As soon as these two requirements appeared, Xu Shuo's mind immediately emerged with Uncle Long wearing armor standing on the sand city and shouting:"I'll wait for you in the sand city at 8 o'clock tonight!""One person attacks the sand and abuses the whole field!" However

, Xu Shuo has never played a mobile game like"Legend", so he can't reproduce it.

While thinking, he suddenly saw the camera of the mobile phone on the table.

A light bulb suddenly flashed in his mind, and he remembered a game in his previous life.'AR'

It is also one of the most profitable mobile games in the world, and can be linked with other types of games with the same IP. And its IP is also the most valuable IP in the previous life.

Since there is no handheld console in this world, this IP has not been released.

This is an opportunity!

The next morning, Xu Shuo called all the old employees and senior executives of the company to the conference room.

After everyone arrived, Xu Shuo said,"This is a project establishment meeting. I hope everyone will speak up."

Everyone nodded.

The operation girl asked,"Is this the new game that you revealed before, Brother Shuo?"

"Yes, but not completely, this time it's two projects"

"Open two projects at once! ?"

"Two more projects."

People who joined Mihoyo later were surprised, but the old employees who have been following the company since Honkai Academy 2 were not so surprised.

Opening two projects at the same time is a basic operation for Dashuo, and all the projects he has opened are very popular!

"One is a mobile open world game!"

Xu Shuo just finished speaking, and everyone present showed the same stupid expression as the developers of"Honkai Impact 3" before.

"Don't ask, it's the kind of open world you think it is." He then added.

They digested it for a while.

"Open-world games not only require a large investment but also take a long time to make. Is it really okay to start this project now?"

Although Mihoyo has more than 400 people, it still lags behind those big companies in terms of size and funding. It is very risky to rashly make an open-world game now.

If the game doesn't become popular, the company may be gone.

This is what they are worried about. There are not many companies that have been dragged down by projects, but there are some.

And how to make an open world on mobile devices?

How can such a game make money?

These two questions cannot be avoided. They can't think of the answer at all, because it is really beyond their imagination. To exaggerate, it is simply an epoch-making game.

"Don't worry, I will still be the producer of the new game. The developers of the Honkai Impact 3 project have already started trying to add an open world gameplay to the game. Don't think too much, just make the game slowly."

With Xu Shuo's words, everyone was relieved.

Although they didn't know what it would be like, there would be no problem with Da Shuo as the producer.

Old employees all knew that Da Shuo was basically all-round.

"So what's the name of the game?"

Xu Shuo smiled:"Original God》！"

Everyone was amazed. This was another great thing about Dashuo. Others would decide the names of their games before they were about to go online.��

Every time Dashuo started a project, he had already thought of the game name and gameplay, just like the game was in his mind.

Seeing that no one objected, Xu Shuo proposed the second project.

"Mihoyo decided to enter the animation industry"

"Ha! ???"

The shock brought by this sentence is no less than the project named"Genshin Impact" above.

Xu Shuo continued:"Then advertise for our second new game"

"oh~~"

Now everyone realized that it was to advertise the game! The previous"Annoying Villagers" did a good job. The popularity of the whole drama also boosted the popularity of"Minecraft". The two complement each other. It is not surprising that Da Shuo has this idea.

"Brother Shuo, what kind of game is this?"

Xu Shuo did not answer directly but asked:"Have you ever thought about catching and training various creatures to fight?"

Xiao Lin, the front end, was excited all of a sudden.

"Brother Shuo, I understand! Beast Taming! This kind of novel is my favorite! I used to choose the hunter profession when playing online games because I can take care of babies!"

Xu Shuo nodded:"Very good, it's you, you will be the person in charge of this project."

He knows that generating electricity for love will make people burst out with unlimited potential, just like the group of developers of"Honkai Impact 3".

"What kind of project is it?"

"Players can freely capture magical creatures and cultivate them. These creatures have different attributes and will evolve into different appearances. Players can fight against each other to determine the strongest player!"

"I know it's called"The King of Beast Tamers"》！"Xiao Lin stood up excitedly.

Xu Shuo looked at him with a hard-to-find expression.

"No, it's called Pokémon》"
