Chapter 13: Spend the money!
Having made up his mind, Pei Qian entered ESRO's official resource station and searched for a common template for card mobile games.
Soon, Pei Qian found one.
This is not the template of "Q Meng Three Kingdoms".
Because "Q Meng Three Kingdoms" is the founder of the card player gameplay method, and it is currently the most popular card mobile game on the market, which is equivalent to a cash cow, this company cannot be stupid enough to sell its own game as a template.
However, just because they don't sell doesn't mean that others don't sell.
Many game companies follow the trend to make card mobile games, and the code is written by themselves, but it is just a reference to the gameplay of "Q Meng Three Kingdoms".
And because these companies didn't make any money from the game, they had to change their games and send them to the resource station to sell templates, so that they could recover some of the costs.
The template Pei Qian has found now comes from a failed imitation of a card mobile game.
"Failed works? I like it! ”
Pei Qian felt that this was a good sign.
I clicked in and took a look at the gameplay system inside.
From the 08 card mobile game fire to the present, "Q Meng Three Kingdoms" has already undergone many version innovations, and the gameplay has increased again and again.
And this set of templates is obviously a bit old-fashioned, with only the most basic things.
For example, levels, sweeps, arenas, and so on.
No new ways to play!
The whole game is quite shabby.
Pei Qian is very satisfied with this!
This is the kind of card mobile game template he dreams of, with no fun features and absolutely no advantage in terms of gameplay!
Looking at the selling price, 100,000!
“…… How is it only 100,000? ”
Pei Qian was quite dissatisfied with the price, it was too cheap!
You directly price 150,000 yuan, and I can buy it correctly!
But after thinking about it again, the set of templates for driving simulation is only 20,000, although the template of the card mobile game is more complex, including many more complete gameplay systems, and it is not cheap to sell 100,000.
It can be seen from the number of downloads that the number of downloads of this set of templates is too far worse than the set of simulation driving game templates that Pei Qian bought before.
This shows that its price is already inflated and it is not very practical.
Pei Qian did not hesitate to place an order!
I like this kind of inflated price of goods, I can burn more money, and I won't be warned by the system.
After buying this set of templates, the basic gameplay is all there, and the next thing is to fill it with art resources.
Art resources include a series of contents such as interface UI, combat effects, card original paintings, and so on.
In addition to the expenses, there are also the purchase of music sound effects, renting cloud servers, etc., but these do not cost much.
The big head is still in the art resources.
Pei Qian considered leaving 20,000 or 30,000 yuan for music sound effects, and another 10,000 yuan for other expenses, and the remaining 16,700,000 yuan was all smashed into art resources.
1670,000 yuan, this money is a lot less, but not too much.
However, Pei Qian still didn't think too much about what the art resources would become.
Card games are the best game for skin-changing.
It can also be understood that for card games, "skin" is the most important.
It is precisely because this layer of skin is so important that Pei Qian must ensure that it must be smashed!
Of course, it is not okay to deliberately make it ugly.
Because of the system's regulations, goods or services that are clearly of low quality cannot be purchased.
After the 167,000 yuan is spent, if you only buy art resources worth 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, the system will not be able to pass that level.
It is necessary to purchase services of roughly equivalent value, allowing for a slight fluctuation up and down, but not too much.
At this time, Pei Qian needs to move his little brain.
How can you buy good quality art resources and ensure that players don't like them?
It's very simple, let the artist use superb painting skills, and paint a style that players don't accept?
The key is to come up with a plan for your art needs.
Pei Qian is not very confident in his ability in this regard, after all, he has had the experience of failure in "Lonely Desert Highway", and he has some doubts about his execution.
At this time, Ma Yang's role is reflected!
Pei Qian downloaded a general template for the art resource demand form from the resource site.
This list details the dimensions of the various resources required, and then requires some brief descriptions of those resources.
Resources are roughly divided into two categories, one is the original painting, which is more expensive, but also has relatively high requirements for the painter, must be painted more carefully, and the demand must be very clear.
The other category is other resources, such as UI, special effects, and so on.
These resources are similar on the network, and they can be used by roughly changing them.
But of course, Pei Qian is not satisfied with casual changes, how can he spend money on casual changes?
So, all art assets are customized!
Pei Qian first listed all the relatively less critical resources such as system UI and special effects, and then filled in some very simple requirements by himself.
Like, be cool!
It must be in line with the style of the Three Kingdoms!
It's all such vague statements.
As for the final product......
Pei Qian doesn't care, what kind of love is there!
Then, Pei Qian directly sent this watch to Ma Yang.
Ma Yang had already woken up at this time.
However, he held the tome and looked at it for two minutes, and there were already signs that he was about to fall asleep.
Seeing Pei Qian send him a form, Ma Yang instantly came to his senses, threw the book in his hand on the bed, poked his head out of the top bunk, and whispered, "You're going to start working?" ”
Pei Qian nodded: "Fill in the form." Use your imagination and fill it with confidence and boldness! ”
Ma Yang nodded violently: "No problem!" ”
The enthusiasm for the work is very high!
Ma Yang took a look, this is an art resource demand form, and there are quite a lot of parts he needs to fill in, mainly the description of the original painting requirements of the character.
Pei Qian has already decided on the theme of the game, the Three Kingdoms.
There are so many characters in the Three Kingdoms, Pei Qian picked out a total of 50 characters, including 15 rare cards, 25 excellent cards, and 10 ordinary cards.
In terms of price, the price of an original painting still fluctuates greatly, with the low ones being seven or eight hundred yuan and the expensive ones being four or five thousand.
Go to the second- and third-tier city art academies to pull a student, and you can buy it for a hundred yuan.
Looking for a well-known big touch customization, it is not surprising that a card costs seven or eight thousand.
Anyway, you get what you pay for.
It is absolutely impossible for Pei Qian to find a well-known big touch to customize, although this can make him spend more money.
Because the fame of the well-known big touch is there, it is very likely to make a promotional effect on the game in turn!
In the same way, it is true that you can spend more money to buy four or five thousand original paintings, but as soon as such a good-looking original painting is released, what if players like it?!
Again, the most important thing in card mobile games is a skin, you make this skin so good-looking, even if the gameplay is rubbish, it is possible to make money!
So Pei Qian decided to buy a cheaper original painting!
If you want to spend more, buy more!
50 characters, and then make different states after different characters are promoted and stars.
That is, it is equivalent to 50 base maps, and each base map has four variations, which are used to show the effect of upgrading.
According to the price of 3,000 for each base map + four changes, this is 150,000, and Pei Qian's budget is just right.
After all, the original card game didn't need a model, which saved a lot of money.
Of course, the specific quotation still needs to be mentioned by the other party, Pei Qian, this is just a rough estimate.
Ma Yang was a little puzzled, these things have been decided, so what work am I mainly responsible for?
After carefully reading the notes written by Pei Qian, I understood.
His job is to engage in originality and magic change!
In other words, it is to open your mind and carry out a completely subversive transformation of these 50 characters, and change them beyond recognition!
