Zeng Xiancheng finally understood why Peng Hui suddenly became interested in games.

The reason is here!

I wanted to say that Peng Hui couldn't do it, but I looked around...

Zeng Xiancheng took a breath of cold air.

Original IP!

This sentence sounds easy, but when it is really done...

If nothing else, how much is the initial investment?

"As for you, the original staff remains unchanged and you are recruiting more people. On the one hand, in order to supplement your current studio, I think several people will wear multiple hats. Although this saves money, the efficiency is too slow. What I want is speed.

!After a while, I will ask the animation department to move here. Since you are already a studio under Minghui Company, there is no harm in having more contact with each other."

"Boss, is this the animation department of "The Return of the Monkey King"?" Zeng Xiancheng asked excitedly.

"Um."

"Great!" Zeng Xiancheng said excitedly.

"By the way, Shu Ya's model... is a bit too internet-famous, so I'll ask Director Ning to borrow some motion capture. You guys can get familiar with the use of the equipment as soon as possible. If you are familiar with it, see if you can replace it with a better one."

Peng Hui thought for a while and said casually.

"Motion capture? Director Ning? Motion capture for "Crazy Aliens"?" Zeng Xiancheng was completely confused.

"Yes, he happens to have it, so he doesn't have to debug it." Peng Hui said casually.

Zeng Xiancheng was completely stunned.

Motion capture technology is not a very new technology now, but...

This technology is expensive!

Ning Hao originally spent 200 million on the special effects of "Crazy Alien".

A real two hundred million!

Such a set of equipment is only used to develop games...

Zeng Xiancheng felt that his heart was suddenly not strong enough.

Shaking his dizzy head, Zeng Xiancheng asked solemnly: "Boss... then... the Chinese version of "Tomb Raider" you plan to make..."

"Don't worry, let's try something else first." Peng Hui said casually.

Zeng Xiancheng breathed a sigh of relief.

If Peng Hui wants to make a Chinese version of "Tomb Raider", then Zeng Xiancheng will have to hire someone else.

Although "Bright Memory" already has some shadows of the Chinese version of "Tomb Raider", it does not mean that Feiyan Islands Studio can directly produce "Tomb Raider". That is a joke.

Not to mention anything else, just the plot aspect is enough to embarrass most people!

You must know that ancient tombs in China are different from those in foreign countries.

With the popularity of tomb robbing in the past two years, if the Chinese version of ancient tomb-themed games does not have Yin Yang, Five Elements, Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, and robbing tombs to find gold, would it still be called the Chinese version?

So this script was very difficult to write.

But this is only part of it.

Secondly…

Modeling.

You must know that Laura's modeling actually uses facial capture technology, and in terms of audience, it is also close to the aesthetics of Asians.

On the other hand, if you want to make a Chinese version, you must also adhere to the aesthetics of European and American people.

But it's too difficult.

Trying to find a suitable Chinese and foreign face to serve as the prototype of the heroine is simply a joke.

Of course, the "Final Fantasy" series previously launched by SE used Asian models and Western names.

This is also the reason why the "Final Fantasy" series is so popular overseas.

To put it bluntly, the biggest problem we lack is experience.

It doesn’t mean that if you make a TPS game, a tomb-themed work, a model with good image quality and recognition, you can make “Tomb Raider”.

That is impossible.

Just like Blizzard still has no way to remake "Diablo 2".

It’s not that you can’t, it’s that it’s not worth it.

The amount of work is so large that we can even make a new game from scratch.

"Does the boss have any good suggestions?" Zeng Xiancheng was not surprised that Peng Hui wanted to practice making things first.

In the final analysis, it is still a question of capital withdrawal.

"Let's make an independent game first." Peng Hui thought for a while and said casually: "The plot just revolves around the ancient tomb."

"Does the boss want to use this to accumulate experience?" Zeng Xiancheng asked.

"kindness."

"Boss, I have a suggestion. I wonder if you are willing to listen to it."

"Tell me about it." Regarding the game, Peng Hui only thought of it on a whim. He himself knew nothing about game production.

"I know that there is a tomb-robbing IP on the market now, which fits our setting very well."

"Oh?" Peng Hui was a little surprised.

"It's called "The Tribulation of Immortality."" Zeng Xiancheng explained with a smile: "This is a mobile game, but it is very good in terms of subject matter, puzzle solving and other factors. Although in terms of popularity, it may not be as good as "Tomb Robbers Notes"

"Or "Ghost Blowing Out the Lamp", but the advantage is that the subject matter is relatively new, and because it is a mobile game, the copyright is relatively concentrated, so it has not been sold yet."

"Okay." Peng Hui nodded and said with a smile: "Go and contact them to discuss the copyright adaptation situation."

"Then boss...we plan to do..."

"Let's make a stand-alone game first. If the other party doesn't want to do it, then do it yourself."

"Okay." Zeng Xiancheng naturally knew what he meant by coming.

That is, some reference.

The gameplay is that his game is a mobile game and this one is a stand-alone game, and Peng Hui had previously negotiated the copyright.

"As for the copyright... if it exceeds one million, there is no need to consider it." Peng Hui thought for a while and said casually: "After all, it is a mobile game, and it is not big. As I said, speed comes first.

"

"Then boss... the game type is stand-alone... and the painting style..."

"The painting style can be made with retro pixels first." Peng Hui thought for a while and said with a smile: "Just like the retro pixels in "Octoward Traveler"."

"Okay." Zeng Xiancheng knew it in his mind.

The motion capture equipment was quickly released by Ning Hao.

Of course, it’s half sale and half free.

Peng Hui was not stingy and started making various investments directly.

Unfortunately, the officials of "The Tribulation of Immortality" wanted to develop a stand-alone game on their own, so they rejected Peng Hui's copyright purchase.

Peng Hui is no exception.

Since the other party has made a popular mobile game, it is natural to try to make it a stand-alone game.

This is normal.

Although mobile games account for the majority of today’s game market, PC games are also okay.

As for stand-alone...

Although it is slightly worse, the capacity of a single machine itself is greater and the benefits can be the most.

Especially with the emergence of National Bank Steam in recent years, stand-alone games will also have good prospects in the future.

Of course, if you want to make big money, you still need to make AAA games.

But fortunately, it’s not too late to get involved now.

The studio's recruitment information was quickly sent out.

On the one hand, it is to supplement the personnel constraints of Feiyan Islands itself, on the other hand, it is also for the launch of new projects.
Chapter completed!
