Chapter 56 Mobile Game Planning
Sending Guo Feng away, Chen Mo buried himself in the studio again.
At present, Chen Mo has not moved a word in the design document of the game, but he is not worried, the rules of the card mobile game are relatively simple, that is, the combat system and values, and level configuration are relatively troublesome, so there is no need to worry.
Now Chen Mo has to do a good job of the anime's script and storyboard first.
After using anime to hype up the IP of "My Name is MT", mobile games can make money, so the release of anime must be much earlier than the launch of the game, after all, it takes a certain amount of time for anime to become popular.
The development period of the game is a total of four months, and Chen Mo roughly planned it like this.
In the first week, all the character settings, scene concept drawings, scripts, storyboards, etc. of the first season of the "My Name is MT" anime are given, and the anime production is arranged.
The production time of anime is about one episode a week, and each episode lasts ten minutes.
Considering that the duration of each episode of the anime is short, about twice as short as the average anime new episode, Chen Mo is worried that the early popularity is not enough, so he considers releasing the first three episodes together, so that it will be released in a month.
In the future, there will be one episode a week, and the entire first season will end exactly three months. As for whether it will continue to be seamlessly connected to the second season, it will depend on the development plan when the time comes.
During the anime production, the game production is also carried out at the same time, but this time is relatively free, and the main work is to adjust the various values.
The original card art and various art resources should be solved relatively smoothly if nothing else.
Chen Mo's goal is to try to make the game in about three months, leaving enough time for testing and tuning.
In short, the first step is to spend a week making all the scripts and storyboards of the first season of the "My Name is MT" anime.
In the following time, Chen Mo directly incarnated as the original artist, recreating the forgotten memories with memory playback potions, and recording scripts and storyboards.
In addition, regarding the scene setting of each plot, Chen Mo also had to draw a rough concept map for the reference of the animation producer.
During this period, Chen Mo didn't plan to use the super accelerator anymore, the side effects of using it last time were a little bigger, and Chen Mo was still a little weak in his heart.
……
A week later.
Guo Feng came to the experience store again, and Chen Mo showed Guo Feng the script, storyboard and scenes that had been done.
Guo Feng flipped through it, and he was surprised to find that the storyboard and script given by Chen Mo were very complete, and they were also relatively standardized, just looking at the storyboard, he could roughly make up the whole picture of the entire anime.
Moreover, the character design is also very novel, the protagonist turned out to be a cow?
"Hmmm......"
Guo Feng touched his chin, he originally thought that Chen Mo, like some local tyrant producers, was mainly playing tickets, and making animation was completely fun, but today I looked at this storyboard, this script, although it can't be said to be perfect, but at least the idea of this story is good and has the potential to be explored.
If this is their studio's own project, Guo Feng should also arrange the best resources to produce it.
Moreover, the script and storyboard given by Chen Mo are very detailed, and even notes the design intent of some lines and the precautions for dubbing.
What Guo Feng didn't know was that Chen Mo actually made some fine-tuning to the script of "My Name is MT", and Chen Mo replaced some overly obscure stalks and replaced them with content that is relatively easy for the audience in this world to understand.
After all, Chen Mo's current plot ability is full marks in the first stage, and it is easy to change some of the content of the script in this regard.
"If you have a more professional view of the script and storyboard, you can mention it to me, it's not completely impossible to revise." Chen Mo said.
Guo Feng nodded: "Okay, if you have a better idea, I will communicate with you." But I'm really surprised, your script is pretty good, at least in my opinion, this anime has the potential to be a small hit. ”
Chen Mo smiled secretly, a little fire? You're underestimating this anime too.
But this is also normal, in the previous life, although "My Name is MT" was also praised when it was first launched, but who would have thought that it could be so popular?
Even when Ledong Excellence spent 3 million to buy the copyright of "My Name is MT", there were many people who felt that the master's head show was funny.
Now it seems that the vast majority of people underestimate the potential of this anime and this game.
Originally, Guo Feng was a little worried that Chen Mo was unreliable in making scripts and storyboards, but after seeing the script that Chen Mo took out today, his doubts also disappeared.
The two sides negotiated smoothly, and finally finalized the contract to be signed early next month, after which production officially began.
Zhao Zihao specially sent an employee from the legal department of his own company to help Chen Mo check the contract, and after confirming that there was no problem, Chen Mo officially signed the contract to pay.
The income of "Plants vs. Zombies" in the second month is more than 2.6 million, of which 1.8 million is used for the production cost of the "My name is MT" anime, and the rest is used to purchase art resources such as card original paintings.
……
The animation production has come to an end, and Chen Mo is now waiting to see how far the finished product can go.
Next, Chen Mo will officially start planning the rules of the mobile game "My name is MT".
At the beginning of the launch of the mobile game "My name is MT", its gameplay and various systems were actually relatively simple, but after many version updates, its various functions began to become more and more numerous, more and more bloated.
Chen Mo doesn't plan to copy all the system functions, because updating the version of the mobile game and adding system gameplay is actually a last resort, and many times it is forcibly added like cramming, so that players can experience new content and not lose fun with the game, resulting in loss.
In the early stage of the game, Chen Mo still had to do some "slimming", and he couldn't throw too many ways to play at once and make them at a loss.
After roughly thinking about the final form of this game, Chen Mo began to write the design document framework.
These design documents include: main interface layout, basic combat system, card development system, dungeon planning, special battles, account attributes (level, title, stamina, etc.), mall and VIP functions, friends, guilds, backpacks, chats, emails, and daily activities.
With the help of memory playback potions, the large framework of these documents was quickly written, because these systems were basically the standard configuration of later domestic mobile games, and the gameplay was similar, and they were mature designs that had been verified countless times, so there was no need to think too much about it.
The main content of Chen Mo's work is basically in two aspects, one is the card cultivation and combat system, and the other is the balance of the values of the levels and cards.
Originally, Chen Mo planned to hand over the design documents of some of the functions to Su Jinyu to write, but after thinking about it, these functions were completely unfamiliar to Su Jinyu, and if she was asked to write them, Chen Mo would probably have to revise them again, wasting time.
Moreover, it is difficult to explain the design intent of this game to Su Jinyu, and it is better to let Su Jinyu have two more original card drawings if you have this time.
When these design documents are finished, just let Su Jinyu enter them into the editor.
The big framework was finalized, Chen Mo didn't delay, took a short break for ten minutes, and directly started writing the most important combat system documents.
