I want to make a game

Liu Zhiyuan took another piece of white paper and drew a simple dragon on it, which is the dragon that all future movies must have if they want to be screened in China, the dragon at the beginning of the movie.

"This will be the LOGO of our Han Dynasty from now on."

Jiang Jiamei stuck out her tongue.

"Ayuan, isn't it too ugly?"

Chen Guoqiang also nodded.

"Ayuan, although I don't know how to design or draw, it really doesn't look very good."

Liu Zhiyuan smiled and said nothing more.

"Then Jiamei, can you draw a dragon?"

Jiang Jiamei returned to her office with a look on her face.

Liu Zhiyuan took the painting with the function buttons and said to Chen Guoqiang.

"This is for feeding, this is for bathing, this is..."

The more Chen Guoqiang listened, the more confused he became. Is this really a toy and not a game?

"How is it? Is it difficult to implement these functions?"

Chen Guoqiang shook his head at Liu Zhiyuan.

"It's very simple. It can be completed in two days. Just... Ayuan, is this really a game?"

"Do you believe it can be sold for dozens of times the value of Monster Wars?"

Chen Guoqiang is not convinced that Monster Wars is looking at him. It should be the top game on the market now. Various cooperative gameplays have never appeared before. His feeling is that Monster Wars is much more fun than Super Mario.

.

Liu Zhiyuan saw Chen Guoqiang's disbelieving expression and did not explain much.

Bandai's official global sales volume is more than 80 million units. Coupled with various unofficial channels and other platforms, such as Nintendo's Poké Ball, 200 million units are considered conservative. Without various expenses for each unit, you can at least make money.

2-3 USD.

Two hundred million units is a net profit of 500 million. May I ask what game can sell 500 million in this era?

Of course, it will definitely not be 200 million units sold at once, but Liu Zhiyuan is confident that the sales target of 30 million units can be achieved this year.

"Ayuan. Do you think it's much prettier than yours?"

After Jiang Jiamei finished the painting, Liu Zhiyuan took it and took a look. It was soaring in the clouds and mist, with extraordinary momentum. Although it was not colored, the charm of the Chinese dragon can still be felt. But...

"Guoqiang, can you do it?"

Chen Guoqiang frowned as soon as he took the painting.

"It's possible, even if it's Ayuan, the cost will increase a lot. The low-resolution screen will definitely not be usable, and..."

He is a program developer, and he has to convert the design drawings given to him into codes and display them in the form of codes. The more complex the drawings, the more complex the code, and the higher the requirements for hardware. He knows this very well.

Liu Zhiyuan smiled and took the painting.

"More than that, Jiamei, the more complex a company's LOGO is and the more copywriting it has, the better."

He brought the two paintings together and asked the two of them.

"Which of these two paintings is more recognizable?"

Jiang Jiamei looked at the two paintings carefully. Although her painting was better, she had to admit that Liu Zhiyuan's simple-looking dragon was more memorable.

"Aesthetic fatigue, the word Jiamei should be familiar to you, right? The dragons you painted have been seen too much by others, and people have no sense of novelty anymore."

"Actually, these two paintings show the same concept to others. When other people see the two paintings, they will think that they are giant dragons from Chinese mythology."

"That's enough. When it can show the characteristics of your company, the simpler it is, the easier it is to be remembered."

Liu Zhiyuan called all the people in the design department over and explained the meaning of minimalist style in detail. In this era where bright red and green colors are still pursued, this is undoubtedly a breath of fresh air and will definitely remain fresh in people's minds.

After he finished speaking, he took a piece of drawing paper and quickly drew a picture of a baby dragon. There was no need to add color. Anyway, when it was finally transplanted to the machine, it was still a black and white mosaic pattern.

"You can use this painting as a reference. My requirement is that it be cute, honest and highly recognizable. You can dress it in Tang suit, Hanfu, or add some distinctive things."

"Also, we need to draw baby dragons of different ages, but they must be in human form. Don't give me a five-clawed golden dragon or something like that. It's the female group that will help us develop the market, do you understand?"

Liu Zhiyuan also added the gameplay of a dress-up game. Although the picture will be very crude, later generations have proven how much harm a small change can cause to women.

Liu Zhiyuan thought about it carefully and finally gave up the idea of ​​adding music. Without it, the cost would increase.

After arranging the company's affairs, he went to apply for a patent non-stop and contacted Sega for a lot of chores.

"Do you want to hire a secretary?"

Liu Zhiyuan stood outside the airport and looked at the people lining up in front of him. He felt that it was necessary to hire a secretary. After finally buying the ticket, he quickly contacted Taiwan.

"Brother Li, come with me to the Jia headquarters in a week to review the game and give the phone number to Mr. Tong."

Liu Zhiyuan explained the making of several Poké Balls over the phone. It was already dark by this time.

A week later...

Liu Zhiyuan took the game card of the elf ball and monster battle and set off for Japan.

"You came here like this?" Li Huagui received Liu Zhiyuan empty-handed at the airport in Japan.

"Condensation is the essence." Liu Zhiyuan took out a red and white elf ball from his pocket.

"Okay, where is the accommodation arranged? Come over quickly. I've been so busy lately that I need to have a good rest. I have to compete with Sega tomorrow."

A night of silence, the next day, Sega headquarters.

"Liu Jun, long time no see." Suzuki Morihiro was chatting with others at the door of Sega. He saw Liu Zhiyuan coming and said hello.

Liu Zhiyuan smiled and stepped forward to shake his hand. This time it was Suzuki Morihiro's third team who reviewed his game.

"Don't we talk on the phone every day lately?"

"Let's stop saying these useless polite words. I can't wait to see Liu Jun's new game. If it weren't for too many things, I would have gone to Hong Kong to find you."

"After listening to the new game you introduced Liu Jun on the phone, I couldn't sleep at night. Sometimes I couldn't help fantasizing about Liu Jun's new game even at work. I was reprimanded by the minister several times for this. If the game doesn't satisfy me

, I will not let Liu Jun off easily."

"Haha, don't worry, Captain Suzuki, the new game will definitely satisfy you, very satisfied!"

Only after Liu Zhiyuan and the others left did the few people at the Sega gate speak.

"Who is this? You actually asked Team Leader Suzuki to wait at the door early?"

"Han Dynasty, a company in Hong Kong."

"Are there any game development companies in Hong Kong? Why didn't I know about it?"

"Let's all come and find trouble, watch the pets again and again, and if you are the king, hold on for 100 seconds. You should know these three games, right?"

"You don't want to tell me that these three games were developed by the Han Dynasty, right?"

"That's right."

During the time when Liu Zhiyuan returned to Hong Kong, these three games were already very popular in Japan. Every arcade must have these three games. Sega has recently begun to port them to SMS, and there are also signs of popularity in Europe and the United States.

, Sega even has the intention of overtaking Nintendo during this period.
