Chapter 20: Famine project established

   Disaster, freedom, creativity, randomness.

   Considering that Chikov and Anthony are not very good Chinese employees, Chu He made the PPT into a Chinese-English version.

   "This is not a big project, and I will not set aside much research and development funds. The tentative research and development funds are only 3 million RMB." Chu He said to everyone.

   Yes, only RMB 3 million.

   sounds very rare, but it is almost a reasonable development cost for a small stand-alone.

  After all, this is only R&D expenses, and does not take into account additional expenses such as subsequent publicity and distribution.

"A scientist was transferred to a mysterious world by a monster or a demon one day. There is no human being like him, no civilization, he needs to use his own wisdom in the harsh environment of cruel wilderness, desert, snow, etc. Survival in the middle. He will face the threat of monsters from different worlds, starve to death due to lack of food, die from illness, freeze from the cold, die from thirst due to lack of water, and even eat poisonous food by mistake To die, the goal of the players is to let themselves work hard to survive."

  Looking at the people present, Chu He pointed to a funny cartoon character on the PPT and said.

   For ordinary games of this small production, the cartoon style is the best choice.

  On the one hand, it is because of the saving of funds, on the other hand, there are always players with more audiences.

   It is true that the real game screen can make people feel shocked and immersive, but it is undeniable that the cartoon game screen is more acceptable than the real game screen.

The most important thing is that the technical content is also lower.

   "The type of game is defined as a 2.5D type of adventure sandbox." Chu He looked at the crowd and continued to introduce.

Strictly speaking, 2.5D does not exist above, this is just a gimmick made by domestic game manufacturers in the early years, but it has also been popular among people for so many years. In simple terms, it is added to the mechanism of 2D games. 3D modeling game.

   does not care about what 2.5D people do, but about the type of game.

   Sandbox game? Including Pige and others, they all showed surprised expressions.

   Sandbox games are no longer a new vocabulary. With the increasing number of linear RPG games, players are more and more keen on freedom and exploring sandbox games with a higher degree of exploration.

   But the point is that the representative of the sandbox game is not a big map, exquisite pictures, do you have a high degree of freedom to explore?

  Know that it is currently recognized in the industry that this kind of sandbox game is only made by European and American manufacturers with the technology and funds.

where are they?

   Chuhe has made it clear that they are a small production, why did they suddenly pull onto the sandbox?

Listening to everyone’s doubts, Chu He couldn’t help but laugh: “Who said the sandbox must be made? The so-called sandbox game is simply that players can run freely in the game world, not according to the main plot set by the game. Play games."

"More specifically, I will improve the planning book later on Monday, and then I will elaborate on it for you. At present, your main task is to follow Pige and master the functions of the "origin" engine." Chu He Added.

  Chuhe decided that the next new project to be done is ‘Famine’, the main features are sandbox, freedom and survival.

   This is a game created by a small team on the earth in the previous life. From the initial development of the game to the later release, it encountered many difficulties.

   But it is lucky, in enough small independent production games, it stands out and has not been buried in countless games.

   Actually, famine has experienced so many difficulties from development to hotness. To sum up, there is not enough funds. If you have enough funds, the development of famine will be much easier.

And the shortest shortage of Chu River in the short term is funding. The legendary integrity of the Red Moon is in the limelight. The first month’s running water is as high as 355 million. According to the market department’s investigation, the subsequent running water will not be lower 200 million yuan, coupled with a large amount of investment in publicity, the legend of Red Moon is not so cool, at least it can still be beautiful for several months.

  After confirming the next project, Chu He announced the adjournment of the meeting, but Ding Qian, who is an art designer, interjected and said, "Well, President Chu, I have something to say."

   "Huh?" Chu He looked at her with questions.

"I think we can recruit one or two art designs. The original painting design can be taken by us. It turned out that because the Red Moon Legend project needs to be rushed to choose outsourcing, but if we don't need to hurry for the new project, the original painting is all Designed by ourselves, the later modeling resources can be handed over to outsourcing, otherwise sometimes the outsourcing projects cannot meet our requirements at all, and it is very troublesome to connect them.” Ding Qian suggested.

In fact, during the Red Moon Legend Project, she already felt the trouble of outsourcing. The design of some equipment and props was clearly stated to the outsourcing, but the other party still failed to meet the requirements, not the outsourcing personnel. Without that ability.

   But usually, outsourcing is to receive one or two projects at the same time, which also causes them to be heavier than quality.

  If you have your own art design, important props, characters, and equip these well-designed original paintings, let the outsourced model directly, it will be much more convenient.

   "Well, I will let the personnel issue a job offer." Chu He thought about it and agreed.

   The current Tianhe network is not short of money, and famine is only a small project, and there will be bigger projects in the future.

   The team must be expanding. Some simple, complex and cumbersome tasks can be handed over to the outsourcing company, but it is better to come to the core by yourself.

   As a piece of art resources, if you give it to an irresponsible outsourcing, in case the original painting gives you an infringement directly, it is better to push it to redo when the time comes. The key is to affect the process of game development. UU reading www.uukanshu. Com and infringement lawsuits are even more troublesome.

  After the meeting with Pig, Chu He told them to return to work, but he opened another PPT.

There is another meeting next, the page tour project team has also been established, apart from the two old employees Wang Tao and Zhang Liang, Chuhe also recruited four new employees, and then they will also develop a new page tour within the company Project.

  I am not going to do a page tour project, it does not mean that Chu He completely gave up the page tour.

   From the company's perspective, the page tour project can bring a lot of profits, and only give up when the head is kicked by the donkey.

   The company needs enough profit to operate, he also needs enough funds to make the game.

  Like the 3A masterpiece of the next era, which one is not easily costing tens of millions of dollars?

   Plus the investment in publicity, and the development period of one year, even two years, and three years or longer, the company does not have a stable source of income, what to burn him?

   is filling out a simple project plan. For the page tour, Chu He should not be too easy to do.

For famine projects, even if there is a memory potion to help me recall some of the characteristics of famine on the planet, Chu He does not intend to copy everything, but to understand the characteristics of this small independent game in the world, as well as the audience of players, has its own market. There is no similar game, or how to make him fun.

   These Chu Rivers do not have a little experience, but page games are different. I have done it for so long before, and I know exactly what group of page game players' audiences are and what they care about.

   Even for the updated content of the subsequent version of Legend of Red Moon, Chu He has already formulated a plan, and then slowly release it to the project department for version update.
