Chapter 1312 I Still Don't Give Pointers

Pei Qian was a little dizzy and confused.

Mainly because when Li Yada was writing the content, he didn't intend to write it in great detail at all, and a lot of content was written with the core content in mind.

President Pei, who is that person? Game design guru!

Why are you writing so long-winded?

In a simple sentence, President Pei should understand it, and it is easy to be annoying if you write too much.

Therefore, the content written on paper is relatively brief. Pei Qian glanced at it, and the first impression was that the game had a lot of mixed content, and it was a bit bloated.

The focus is still on the risk of this game.

Anyway, as long as Li Yada can demonstrate that the risk of this game is high enough, then Pei Qian thinks it can be considered.

"Let's briefly talk about your opinion first." Pei Qian looked at Li Yada.

Li Yada sorted out his thoughts a little.

President Pei asked me to report, obviously there is something I don't understand.

President Pei quickly read the plan, thinking that he had a general understanding of the content of the game.

After all, as a game design master, seeing a framework can make up the whole picture of the game, which should be a basic ability.

So, what should be reported now?

It should be reported that the plan was not written, and President Pei couldn't figure it out.

Thinking of this, Li Yada said: "This plan was proposed by a small studio. The previous game was called "Blade of the Empire", and it was on the Chaolu game platform, and the results were acceptable..."

"The main designer is Yan Qi. He has not been in the industry for a short time. His previous design experience was mainly in the field of mobile games..."

"This game was designed by Yan Qi in a flash, and I think the content is quite bright."

"However, as I wrote in the risk assessment report, the volume of this game is too large, and it has completely exceeded Yan Qi and his studio's ability to bear. The estimated research and development funds are at least 100 million yuan."

"Moreover, this game also has high risks, and the risks mainly come from the following aspects."

"The development experience of Yan Qi and his studio is very difficult to handle such a large-scale project, and many unexpected problems may be encountered during development;"

"Because of the huge investment, the purchasing power of the domestic game market may be somewhat insufficient. Although the reputation among the niche players who prefer this game type will be very good, it is very likely that the cost of research and development and publicity will not be recovered;"

"Furthermore, compared to the purer game content of "Back to the Shore", there are more mixed content in "Millet Li". This is an innovation, but it is also an adventure..."

"As for whether it is feasible, whether to invest or not, it is up to you, Mr. Pei, to judge for yourself."

"It's the idea and the idea, whether it's worth the risk."

Li Yada's introduction mainly focuses on the background of Yan Qi and his studio.

After all, the gameplay of this game has been clearly written in the plan. It is nothing more than inspired by "Back to the Shore", but it has incorporated many gameplays and added various officially encouraged skipping mechanisms to create such a self-contained game.

President Pei glanced at the points in the plan, and he should be able to make up the whole picture of the game.

Introduce the risks of this game truthfully, and President Pei should be able to give a more comprehensive evaluation.

When Pei Qian heard the risk, he was no longer sleepy.

It sounds like this project is quite reliable!

The main designer and the entire development team have been making mobile games before? No experience in developing single-player games at all?

And at most, you have done a few million small projects, this time it will be hundreds of millions?

The point is that the game itself, sounds like a hodgepodge, and if it can replicate the success of "Go Back to the Shore", the two games are a little too far apart.

On the surface, they all seem to have some elements of suffering, but in fact, when you look deeper, the difference is huge.

And the background of the story is overhead, there is no IP, and the prototype is also a relatively unpopular dynasty in history. This story background should have no bonus points for players.

It feels good!

Pei Qian took the plan again and looked at it.

This gameplay of suffering in the early stage and brushing in the later stage does not seem to be completely unworkable, but considering two points, one is that similar games are rarely made into popular games, and the other is that the investment in the game itself is huge, and the development team is inexperienced, so Taken together, the probability of making money is actually very low.

Whether the game makes money or not is relative.

The higher the investment, the more difficult it is to make money.

Because there are only so many players, the upper limit of game pricing is also difficult to break through. The more investment, the higher the guaranteed sales volume, and the difficulty will increase exponentially every time the sales volume increases by an order of magnitude.

All in all, it's worth a try!

After thinking for a moment, Pei Qian said, "You can invest money."

Li Yada couldn't help but feel joy in his heart.

President Pei agreed, which means that the gameplay of this game is no problem, and it can be popular!

But after waiting for a while, Li Yada hesitated and asked, "Mr. Pei, do you have any comments or suggestions? Is there any room for improvement in the gameplay of this game?"

Pei Qian looked at the plan and then at Li Yada.

Where to improve?

In fact, he really wanted to command, but after thinking about it, judging from the "victory results" of his previous pointing to Tenda Games and Shangyang Games, it's better to rest when it's cool.

What if a random pointer has the finishing touch and brought the game flying?

That pissed me off.

So, Pei Qian shook his head: "As an investor, don't interfere all the time. Everyone has their own ideas about games. After all, this is not a Tenda game."

"Besides, I think this game is okay, there is no big problem."

"The only thing I'm worried about is whether 100 million is enough. If we can add more, it may be better."

"Imagination is priceless, how can money limit a designer's imagination?"

It stands to reason that 100 million is quite a lot, but for this kind of game, it is obvious that the greater the investment, the harder it is to recover the cost.

That is to say, every time you add more money after 100 million, it will exponentially increase the difficulty of making this game profitable.

But Pei Qian can't directly say that he wants to give more money, that's not reasonable, after all, people only need 100 million.

And the system is still staring at it, and I have to find a way to fool it.

The advantage of a project like this is that the system won't use it for card settlement. For Pei Qian, the money is spent as it is spent, and there is no need to worry about it for a long time.

But what kind of reason to spend more money, Pei Qian can't think of it for the time being, so he can only let the designer of this game think for himself.

Li Yada nodded: "Really? President Pei also thinks so?"

"Indeed, this kind of game still needs sufficient research and development funds to make it work well."

"In this case, I will go back and ask Yan Qi to refine the plan, add back the content that was cut before, and add more to the game's process and level design, such as equipment, props, NPCs, monsters, etc., Do more."

Pei Qian added: "The recruitment should be arranged as soon as possible. Anyway, sooner or later, you will have to recruit people. Don't do it halfway and find that the progress is too slow to recruit, then don't rush."

For game companies, labor costs are the bulk of development costs.

The more people you recruit, the greater the daily expenses. If you recruit people earlier, you will spend more money. If you recruit more people, you will spend more money.

Anyway, for such a large project, it is a new team that needs to be run in, and the development time will not be short, and recruiting people early will not make the development progress much faster, but can spend more money.

Li Yada was a little moved.

Although she had anticipated that President Pei might invest in this game and support Yan Qi's dream, she didn't expect that President Pei would be so open-minded, it's only 100 million yuan, and he would have to pay more.

But to be honest, similar game effects are indeed made by money.

When Tenda made "Back to the Shore", the foundation was not very strong, so the content of the game was relatively pure, the game flow was not very long, and the final price of the game was not high.

But now, Tengda's size is not what it used to be.

Maybe President Pei saw the dilemma of Yan Qi's small studio and thought about the state of Tenda when it was founded, so he decided to lend a helping hand?

Don't let the project "Millet Li" leave any regrets!

Sure enough, Mr. Pei's understanding of investment is different from other investors.

Other investors are thinking about how to cut costs, how to seek maximum returns with the lowest cost, so when encountering such a project, the first reaction must be how to reduce the cost, and the second reaction is to interfere with the project. interfere with creation.

But Mr. Pei is different. When encountering this kind of problem, the first reaction is to consider whether the money is enough and whether people should recruit as soon as possible, and even if Pei is always a game design master, he fully respects the original designer's idea, and there is no such thing as Any intention to interfere with the creation!

It can only be said that President Pei's first identity is still a designer, and then he is an investor.

In other words, even if Pei is always an investor, he is a completely different investor from other investors.

"Okay, Mr. Pei, then I'll tell the story, and let the designer rewrite the plan again, make up all the ideas that were cut off before, and make the game complete."

"Uh...Or wait for He Desheng to come back and let He Desheng speak?"

"I still have to make sure my identity isn't revealed."

What Li Yada told Yan Qi before was that she knew people from Yuanmeng Ventures and could talk to her, but if she were to send the official word directly, it would be a bit beyond the scope of friends, and it would easily cause suspicion.

Therefore, it would be better to wait for He Desheng to come back and talk as the person in charge of Dream Realization Ventures.

Pei Qian nodded: "Well, yes, the confidentiality work still needs to be done."

"Speaking of which... Can you hide the identity of Chaolu's game platform?"

Li Yada thought for a while: "It's okay, it's still safe."

Pei Qian was a little relieved: "Okay, keep hiding it, how long you can hide it, this is very important."

Continue to hide the money and continue to burn money. Don't expose it in the short term, and you can burn more money.

Once the relationship between Chaolu game platform and Tenda is exposed, it will only be forced to enter the next stage.
