Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

It is normal for Lin Wan to not understand, because the project she did when she was in the Tianhuo studio was "Scars", and after Tengda, she participated in the production of "Fortress at Sea" and "Game Producer", all of which It's end game.

"Blood Warsong" is a page game, and these games can basically be regarded as completely different species.

Page games have a unique set of design concepts and ideas. Various mature system games are relatively rare in end games.

Lin Wan not only did not participate in the development of page games, not even page games, and he was not interested at all.

The people Ye Yezhou met with some common terms used in the development of page games, mixed with some English abbreviations. When describing the gameplay, they have many spoken language and internal abbreviations for the gameplay.

In this way, everyone is clearly communicating in Chinese, but Lin Wan can only understand 30% to 40%.

In a word, I know every word clearly, but I can't understand what it means when connected together ...

Lin Wan could only record silently, without nodding and asking no questions.

She did n’t nod because she really did n’t understand and did n’t want to pretend to understand; if she did n’t ask questions, she was worried that she would show timidity and shame Tengda and Pei.

Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin secretly looked at Lin Wan's expression every time he spoke.

I saw Lin Wan's solemn expression, and he kept writing and drawing on the small book, his expression was unpredictable, and he didn't know what she was thinking.

Although she looks very young, everyone dares not to despise. After all, it is known that Pei always employs people and has always been eclectic.

Whatever can be fancy by Mr. Pei, either he has the real talents to learn, or he has the deep potential to be tapped, no matter which one can never offend.

Every time Ye Zhizhou talked, she paused a bit, and wanted to give Lin Wan some time so she could express her opinions.

Although President Pei has not changed this design at all, who knows if the development director will have any opinions?

However, Lin Wan only kept a silent record without saying a word.

Ye Zhizhou even doubted himself.

Why did Mr. Pei and the director not make any changes?

Is my design really perfect?

Can't I?

Or do I underestimate myself too much?

...

Finally, all the design drafts were finished, and Ye Zhizhou briefly explained the construction period, as well as the approximate amount of art resources this time, as well as the budget required to purchase various resources, in the early two million.

Then, Ye Zhizhou looked at Lin Wan.

This director has to say a few words this time, right?

Otherwise, why did you come here?

Lin Wan was a little bit flustered to feel the hot eyes of everyone.

What to do, they said for a long time, I basically did not understand!

Even if I understand a part of it, I definitely can't take it out for discussion, because these things that are understood are obviously very basic things. Isn't it timid to show them?

Fortunately, Lin Wan was in dire straits, and successfully caught a place where President Pei was absolutely dissatisfied.

"Other issues are not big."

"That's the budget ... according to what I know about Mr. Pei, it definitely won't work."

Ye Zhizhou was a little nervous, and sure enough, in the end, the budget couldn't pass!

The two million budget is a bit more than page games.

In the page game mode, the research and development expenditure only accounts for a small part, and most of the other money is used for marketing, such as buying click ads on web pages, spending money to ask stars, and so on.

This is determined by the characteristics of the target group that page games are facing.

Page games are mainly for office white-collar workers and local tyrant bosses. These people do not have high requirements for game screens. Many of them play secretly during office hours. They don't want to work hard or use their brains.

They just want to charge money and cut people with a mouse.

These people often have strong spending power, so saving the R & D money for publicity can maximize the benefits of the game.

But when Ye Zhizhou was budgeting, he was not willing to do it the traditional way.

After all, President Pei made a final decision. The name of the game this time is "Enhanced Power". I can no longer make a picture that is on the same level as a normal page game?

The art resources must be high-definition, and the various gameplay methods must be optimized to perfection.

This increased the number of trips to more than two million yuan. Ye Zhizhou also deliberately met Wang Xiaobin and was very satisfied with the budget.

However, it is still too much?

Ye Zhizhou looked at Lin Wan with a bit of embarrassment, thinking that he could cut off a maximum of 300,000 to 400,000, but he couldn't cut any more!

Lin Wan continued: "I think ... I'm afraid at least 4 million will be approved by Pei."

"Forget it, you can add it to five million directly. When the province gets it, Mr. Pei will call back, and you will be busy again."

Every time the budget is overturned, all the art resource tables, various plans, and well-connected artists, procedures, etc. on the resource station must be replaced.

If you increase it from two million to three or four million, and you double it all at once, these plans basically have to be overturned and reworked. After all, the changes are too great, and it can not be done simply by changing a few artists.

Therefore, Lin Wan directly and intimately helped them raise the budget. When the province got it, the budget table they worked so hard was called back by President Pei and redone.

Everyone was aggressive.

Ye Zhizhou almost thought he heard it wrong.

Two million is too little? To five million? ?

It's ok to give a super double directly?

But looking at Lin Wan's serious expression, it was definitely not a joke, but rather a serious advice.

Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin looked at each other and hesitated, "Five million? Maybe too many ..."

"Actually, you don't need that much money. More than two million is enough. It's enough."

Lin Wan shook his head: "It's enough for you, but it's not enough for Pei in general. You don't know to what extent Pei will keep improving these details. Listen to me, and add it directly to five million."

Looking at Ye Zhizhou, who was forced to look down and change his watch, Lin Wan could not help but smile.

"I finally understand why President Pei let me here!"

"In addition to learning about the design of other types of games here, there is a very important point, which is to convey the spirit of Tenda!"

"Ye Zhizhou's resolutely budgeting is really like Lu Mingliang once."

"General Manager Pei is busy with work and lack of skills. It is impossible to come and correct the bad habits of these people in person. So he just sent me over and gave me a chance to exercise on the one hand and let me correct the bad habits of these people on the other!"

"So, I should guide them more mentally so that they can work hard to keep up with Tenda."

"Pei didn't lie to me. This is really a very important job!"

Ye Zhizhou passed his budget quickly, his brows froze.

"But ... if the budget is really increased to five million, a new problem will be encountered."

"We are just a page game. Even if all the resources are replaced with high-definition versions, and then several excellent original artists are invited to do the concept design, I am afraid that the money will not be spent ..."

"Also, we are using the 2D version of the official platform engine. Support for these high-definition resources will not be very good, and the effect may not be particularly obvious at that time."

"The short answer is ... the price / performance ratio will be poor."

Lin Wan thought for a while: "Then change the engine and go directly to 3D."

Ye Zhizhou said for a moment: "On 3D ... then you can't do page games. The amount of art resources to be transmitted is too large, and the current Internet speed is too slow to load."

The page game mode is to play immediately, and all art resources are transmitted in real time.

Limited by the network speed, the resources cannot be made too large, otherwise the transmission is very slow, and the players have come to the next scene, but the resources of this scene have not been loaded yet.

When Lin Wan was playing "Blood War Song", he could see "Resource Loading" every time a new scene came, which is why.

After discussion, the problem is still not solved.

Lin Wan is very clear that the budget of two million yuan can absolutely not meet Pei's requirements, but due to the page game model ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ budget increase to five million can not significantly improve the picture.

Unless you do n’t do page games, do end games, and let players download all resources to their computers.

But this way ...

This game has changed even the type of game. Isn't it completely different and sparse?

Wang Xiaobin coughed twice: "Oh, I think, if we must make a 3D version with high-definition resources, we can try to make a micro-end."

"It's a micro client."

"Compared to terminal games, players need to download much less resources, and the computer configuration requirements are not very high; compared to page games, the screen can be significantly improved."

"Of course, it's also possible that the two sides won't please, which is very risky."
