Chapter 199 Increase the Budget!

It's normal for Lin Wan to not understand, because the project she worked on when she was in Tianhuo Studio was "Bullet Scar", but after she arrived at Tenda, she participated in the production of "Fortress at Sea" and "Game Producer", and these, all It's a terminal tour.

"Blood War Song" is a page game, which can basically be regarded as a completely different species from the above games.

Page games have a unique set of design concepts and ideas, and various mature system gameplays are relatively rare in client games.

Not only has Lin Wan never participated in the development of web games, she has never even played web games, and is not interested in it at all.

Ye Zhizhou and the others used some common terms in the development of web games, and also mixed with some English abbreviations. When describing the gameplay, there were many colloquial and internal abbreviations for the gameplay.

As a result, everyone was communicating in Chinese, but Lin Wan could only understand 30% to 40%.

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

Lin Wan could only record silently, without nodding or asking questions.

She didn't nod because she really didn't understand, and didn't want to pretend to understand; if she didn't ask questions, she was worried that she would be embarrassed and embarrassed to Tengda and President Pei.

Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin, on the other hand, took a peek at Lin Wan's expression every time they talked.

I saw Lin Wan's face was solemn, she kept writing and drawing in the small notebook, her expression was inscrutable, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Although she looks young, no one dares to despise her. After all, they all know that Mr. Pei's employment has always been eclectic.

Those who can be favored by President Pei are either true talents and real learning, or they have deep potential to be tapped, no matter which one they are, they must not be offended.

Every time Ye Zhizhou spoke, he paused for a while, wanting to give Lin Wan some time so that she could express her opinion.

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

However, Lin Wan just recorded it silently without saying a word.

Ye Zhizhou even had some self-doubt.

Why didn't President Pei and the director have any amendments?

Is my design draft really that perfect?

Can't you?

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, and the budget required to purchase various resources, which was in the early 200s.

Then, Ye Zhizhou looked at Lin Wan.

This time, the director has to say two words, right?

Otherwise, what are you doing here?

Feeling the fiery gazes of everyone towards him, Lin Wan was also a little panicked.

What should I do, they talked for a long time, but I basically didn't understand it!

Even if you understand a part of it, you definitely can't discuss it, because what you understand is obviously very basic. Isn't it timid to talk about it?

Fortunately, Lin Wan was calm in the face of danger, and successfully caught a place that President Pei was absolutely dissatisfied with.

"Other issues are not that big."

"It's this budget... According to what I know about President Pei, it's definitely not acceptable."

Ye Zhizhou was a little nervous, but sure enough, in the end, the budget could not pass!

The budget of two million is a bit much compared to web games.

In the mode of page games, research and development expenses only account for a small part, and most of the other money is used for marketing, such as buying click advertisements on web pages, paying for celebrities, and so on.

This is determined by the characteristics of the target audience for the page game.

Page games are mainly aimed at office white-collar workers and local tycoon bosses. These people do not have high requirements for the game screen. Many of them play secretly during work hours, and they neither want to work hard nor use their brains.

They just want to charge money and kill people with a click of a mouse.

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

But when Ye Zhizhou was making the budget, he was not willing to follow the traditional way.

It's not easy for President Pei to make a decision. This time the game name is "Power Enhanced Edition". It can't be made into a screen that is on the same level as a normal page game, right?

Art resources must be in full HD, and various gameplay must be optimized to perfection.

It has been added to more than 2 million after a while, and Ye Zhizhou has also met Wang Xiaobin on purpose, and is very satisfied with this budget.

However, is it still too much?

Ye Zhizhou looked at Lin Wan with some trepidation, thinking to himself, at most 300,000 to 400,000 yuan will be cut off, and if there are more, it can't be cut any more!

Lin Wan continued: "I think... I'm afraid it will cost at least four million before President Pei approves this project."

"Forget it, you should just add it to five million directly, so that Mr. Pei will call back when you can, and you will be busy for a second time."

Every time the budget is overturned, all the art resource sheets, various plans, as well as the well-connected artists, programs, etc. on the resource station must be replaced.

If it were to increase from 2 million to 3 or 4 million, doubling it all at once, these plans would basically have to be overturned and redone.

So Lin Wan kindly helped them raise the budget directly, so that when they got it, the budget table they worked so hard to make was called back by President Pei and redone.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Ye Zhizhou almost thought he heard it wrong.

Two million is too little? Add to five million? ?

Is it okay to give a super double directly?

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

Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin looked at each other and hesitated: "Five million? It's too much..."

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

Lin Wan shook his head: "It's enough for you, but it's far from enough for President Pei. You don't know how much President Pei will strive for these details. Listen to me and add it to five million directly."

Looking at Ye Zhizhou who lowered his head and changed his watch with a confused face, Lin Wan couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"Finally understand why President Pei let me come here!"

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

"Ye Zhizhou's willingness to make a budget really resembles the former Lu Mingliang."

"President Pei is busy with work and lacks skills. It is impossible for me to come here to correct the bad habits of these people. So I just sent me here to give me a chance to exercise and to correct the bad habits of these people on the other hand!"

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

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

Ye Zhizhou quickly went through the budget and frowned.

"But...if the budget really increases to five million, there will be a new problem."

"We are just a web game. Even if all the resources are replaced with high-definition versions, and a few excellent original artists are invited to do the concept design, the money will still not be spent..."

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

"In short...the price/performance ratio will be poor."

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

Ye Zhizhou was at a loss for words: "Go to 3D...then you can't do web games. The amount of art resources that need to be transmitted is too large, and the current network speed is too slow to load."

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

Limited by the network speed, the resources cannot be made too large, otherwise the transmission will be very slow, and the players will go to the next scene, but the resources of this scene have not been loaded, isn't it very embarrassing.

When Lin Wan played "Blood War Song", he could see "Resource Loading" every time he came to a new scene, that's why.

After discussion and discussion, the problem has not been solved.

Lin Wan knew very well that a mere two million budget would never meet President Pei's requirements, but limited by the mode of page games, adding a budget of five million would not significantly improve the picture.

Unless you don't do web games anymore, you can do end games and let players download all the resources to their computers.

But this way...

This game has changed even the genre of the game, isn't it beyond recognition, a mess?

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

"That's a micro client."

"Compared with end games, players need to download a lot less resources, and the computer configuration requirements are not very high; compared with web games, the screen can be significantly improved."

"Of course, it is also possible that the two sides are not thankful, and this is very risky."

There are only two chapters left today. I have friends over the weekend and I don’t have much time. I’ll also take a look at the outline in the past two days, and salted fish for two days. The book has been merged with the old account. There is no need to read the old books written before. The writing is not very good. If there is a shortage of books, you can jump and watch "Almighty Game Designer".
