Chapter 152: No Need to Control Costs (2/17)
Although after countless iterations of card games, its gameplay has been very different, but the core is still the same, or card extraction, training, and lineup matching as the core fun.
In terms of production, it is more difficult in terms of picture quality, modeling, etc. Especially the model, the model accuracy is very high, which is higher than the sum developed by Chen Mo before.
In addition to the model, background music, voice actor dubbing, character original art, etc. also require a lot of effort, but these are relatively easy to solve, mainly because of money.
In Chen Mo's planning, the design outline is mainly divided into six aspects, namely Shishen and Onmyoji system, plot exploration, fighting skills, social module, Royal Soul and store-related, and other systems.
The most fundamental thing is the ShikamiγOnmyojiγThe battle system related to the imperial soul.,The second is the plot exploration.,After these two pieces are made.,The rest is easy to say.γ
The gameplay of the domestic card mobile game is actually relatively simple, and the main difficulty is in the card attributes, values and derivative gameplay, so the basic concept draft did not take Chen Mo too much time, and it was written quickly.
Chen Mo sent the concept draft and Abe Qingming's line draft to Su Jinyu, and then went downstairs.
β¦β¦
After receiving the concept draft sent by Chen Mo, Su Jinyu hadn't read it carefully, Wen Lingwei and Qian Kun had already come over.
The two of them were basically the most enthusiastic about the game, and as soon as they heard that the concept draft came out, they immediately surrounded them.
Seeing Abe's line draft, everyone was stunned for a moment.
"What the hell is this, Haruaki Abe? Isn't this a famous onmyoji in the history of mud bombardment? Zheng Hongxi was surprised.
Wen Lingwei said: "Yes, the style of this dress is also Japanese style, and the store manager wants to do this theme?" β
Zheng Hongxi said a little entangled: "Can it work?" Now the IP of card games is more powerful than the other, and the theme of Onmyoji is not particularly popular in China, so it seems that the store manager plans to create his own IP again? β
Su Jinyu browsed the design concept draft: "The store manager wrote in the concept draft, saying that he wanted to make a high-quality game, and he would also ask a professional voice actor to dub it in Japanese?" Judging from the concept draft, the game is much more complicated. β
"I don't know if I can do it, I'm afraid that I won't be able to adapt to the soil and water in China!"
Everyone was a little worried.
While discussing, Chen Mo went downstairs.
"Come to the conference room, let me briefly talk about the development plan of this game." Chen Mo said as he walked towards the conference room.
Wen Lingwei followed: "I also asked to audit!" β
Chen Mo nodded: "Okay, whatever you want." β
After entering the conference room and sitting down, Jia Peng couldn't wait to ask: "Store manager, what kind of game is it this time?" Is it and similar games? β
Su Jinyu also asked: "Is it a money game?" β
Chen Mo said: "Oh, this time it's a very healing conscience game. β
Su Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, that's good." β
Qian Kun looked confused, and he flipped through the concept draft again: "Huh? Are you sure, manager? I look at the summoning system and Shikigami cultivation system planning of this game, but it's not curative at all. β
Chen Mo said: "When I say healing, I mainly refer to the plot aspect. In the backstory of this game, this is an era of symbiosis between humans and ghosts, and the onmyoji have to maintain the balance between the two worlds of yin and yang. And there are a lot of moving stories of monsters and people, and most of the monsters have a pathetic life experience, isn't this plot healing? β
Zheng Hongxi flipped through the concept draft: "Hmm...... This story seems to be quite healing. β
Qian Kun scratched his head, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while.
Chen Mo continued: "In fact, this game, you can understand it as an advanced version, the core is the same, it is a game with card acquisition, training, matching, and battle as the core, but the form of expression has been changed from cards to 3D models. β
Qian Kun came to his senses, and his eyes lit up: "So store manager, it's still a money game, right?" β
The corners of Chen Mo's mouth twitched slightly: "Well, you can understand it like this." β
Zheng Hongxi said: "Then, I have a question for the store manager. Since it's a card game, IP should be very important, right? Now the card games on the market, no big IP is embarrassed to say hello, the theme we made, in the mud bombardment may be pretty good, in China, there are still a few players who really care about the theme of Onmyoji, right? β
Chen Mo nodded: "Yes, it is a minority at present." β
Wen Lingwei asked: "Then how are you going to stir up this IP, the store manager?" Or do you do anime the same way as you? β
Chen Mo shook his head: "If you don't do anime, you don't do anything." This game itself has the ability to create its own IP. β
Everyone was stunned: "Huh? Really? β
Chen Mo smiled: "Really." That's why we had to make the quality of the game top, including the original art, models, scenes, music, lines, voice acting, etc., and it had to be able to crush any other card game on the market. β
Su Jinyu frowned slightly: "Crush any other card game? It's a bit difficult. β
Chen Mo shook his head: "It's not high, it's not high at all, in fact, it's a matter of money in the final analysis." So when you are looking for an outsourcing company, you go directly to the highest specification, and it doesn't matter if you pay 20,000 yuan for an original painting, this time in terms of art and music, we don't care about the cost. There is also dubbing, to find someone to contact those well-known voice actors of Mud Bomb, the money is too much, and it must be worthy of satisfying us. β
Everyone was dumbfounded, 20,000 yuan for an original painting? Looking for a well-known voice actor?
The previous original painting was only 2,000 yuan a piece, and the price directly doubled tenfold, which is too costly! This, coupled with the model and movements, the cost of this one-style god can break through the sky, and it is more expensive than the previous model!
Although Chen Mo is rich now, he is willing to burn so much money, which still surprises everyone.
Qian Kun said with some hesitation: "Store manager, if you really don't care about the cost, then the R&D cost will be at the level of tens of millions......
Chen Mo nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?" Is the 10 million level a lot? The CG cost more than 30 million yuan. β
Jia Peng scratched his head: "Of course, it can't be compared, but this is a mobile game......"
Chen Mo said: "Don't worry, its profitability will not be worse." Let's put it this way, the R&D cost does not need to be controlled, especially the art and music resources related to the quality of the game, all of which must be the best, so you don't have to worry about money. β
Wen Lingwei was surprised: "Oh my God, the store manager is so generous!" I'm really not used to it! β
