Chapter 273: Pengda Alliance
"Is the mobile game open beta?"
Meng Lang bit his fingers and said speechlessly: "It's really ink, after so many tests, now even the daylily is cold!"
Are penguins short of money?
Such a simple mobile game was delayed for nearly a year before it came out. That's it, you can also make it by changing to a small mobile game factory.
This mobile game is called "YOYO Niang"!
That's right! It's the game developed a long time ago, with Pengda providing IP linkage, Penguin being responsible for production, and Meng Lang also participated in the mobile game of internal testing.
What a fate!
A year ago, the internal test was opened, and Meng Lang thought that it would be open test last summer, but he didn't expect the test to last for "three rounds", and it took 15 months to usher in the public test.
It's all about draining the enthusiasm of the players!
After such a long wait, the initial reservation players have long been dissuaded. In addition, the popularity of YOYO Niang has dissipated, how many players can enter the public beta now?
"Penguins don't care!"
Meng Lang analyzed: "I heard that they have a big internal plan to transplant their successful terminal games to mobile terminals. I guess I'm busy with this, and I'm not very interested in YOYO Niang. ”
"Do you still work with them?"
"Let's change one! Small factories are fine, large factories have their own projects, and it is better to cooperate with them than to do it yourself. ”
Pengda has an IP library, and any one can be made into a "krypton" mobile game. However, Pengda did not have the ability to produce and publish games, and had to find a technically reliable partner.
YOYO Niang's experience made Meng Lang lose trust in Dachang. For this reason, he decided to find a small factory to work with.
There are quite a few options to choose from!
Bakugan Kid, Battle King EX, and Egg Miracle Trail are not to mention, even the strange-looking Balala Little Demon Fairy can be made into a game.
An explosion is unlikely!
This kind of IP mobile game, it seems that there is no example of popularity. But it's okay to make money, after all, there is a loyal fan base.
Although it is mainly based on "cooperation", it is not that all IP is ruined by others. IP with relatively high value, Meng Lang wants to operate it himself.
For example, "Ultraman"!
There are quite a few IP derivative games of "Ultraman", including Tsuburaya himself. But it didn't catch fire, so I barely ate it.
It may be that the type is more "old-fashioned"!
Ultraman's spin-off games are basically based on "arcade side-scrolling fighting". This is also the "inherent impression" of many people, who believe that the value of Ultraman lies in "fighting"!
Actually, this direction is wrong!
Arcade fighting is a good fit, but the genre is outdated. No matter how good your game is, no matter how influential the IP is, it won't attract too many fans.
Can you change the direction, for example, FPS? The role that the player substitutes becomes "Cotter Member"! Use a variety of black technology weapons to attack monsters?
Or is it an MMORPG online game?
Implant a character training system for Ultraman and experience the fun of cultivating characters? Fight monsters to level up, forge powerful equipment (super bracelets, head darts), and form a group to open up the epic dungeon of "Belial"?
Pengda has a similar plan, in order to further enhance the IP influence of "Ultraman", to make a derivative game.
Don't circle money!
Pengda only wants to increase the influence of IP, and the profitability of the game is secondary. Based on this premise, the game cannot be based on "krypton".
"Let's make a MOBA!"
There are a lot of "monsters" in Ultraman, and according to their appearances, they are given skills to make a game similar to "League of Legends".
League of Legends is already here!
But the glory of kings is not yet, and the mobile terminal is still in the MOBA desert period. If the quality and balance of the game are guaranteed, let alone popularity, at least the influence of the IP will be greatly improved.
When the game is launched, it is estimated that some people will send private messages to Meng Zai every day, complaining that XX Ultraman is too weak, and the next version should be strengthened......
That being said, Meng Lang really wants to do it. Not only Ultraman, but he also wants to include the knights and form the "Pengda Alliance"!
Chose a Jeton on the road?MD is good meat!No, it takes a supreme dart to impress him. V3 double kill in the bottom lane?Will you play Jack?Passive with 50% damage increase without teammates around?
It's beautiful to think about, but the reality is. Pengda does not have a talent pool in this area, and if it wants to make a finished product, it will either acquire a mature game company or slowly cultivate it from scratch.
Meng Lang chose the former!
But where there is a shortcut, Meng Tsai will never take the big road. You say that the shortcut is very pitiful, then you must not have seen Meng Zai's "money ability"!
Don't say anything, just buy it!
It just so happens that there is a game company in Jiangchuan, and it is also an extremely rare "stand-alone faith household" in China. The underwear was lost when making a stand-alone machine, and as soon as Meng Lang's banknotes were scattered, the company changed its name to "Pengda Games" on the spot!
It's so cool to spend money!
Although the series of "0s" on the bill looks very painful, you have to understand that pie will not fall from the sky, and where will you get in return if you don't pay?
Probably "spending money" will be addictive, after buying a company, Meng Lang fell in love with a "motion capture" studio.
"That's good!"
Motion capture is quite useful, although holsters can solve most of the problems. However, there are also some special "characters" that require the use of CG special effects.
That's when it's cool to use motion cap!
To put it mildly, in this industry, everything else can be shabby, but the special effects can't be shabby. Meng Zai likes to use five-cent special effects, but only for TV dramas!
Are there fewer special effects in big movies?
You can't spew blood! Mr. Meng picks the door and picks the door, at least it's not dark in the special effects, right?
Look at the light, how bright it is!
"Mr. Meng, this is too bright......"
The special effects artist was entangled: "There is already a slight glare feeling, if the brightness is increased again, will the audience be able to stand it?"
"Glaring?
Meng Lang gestured: "If the light is not dazzling enough, then how can the audience know whether Jack's special skill is strong or not?"
It seems that this is the truth!
The special effects artist obeyed the order and raised Jack's light brightness by two levels. And then the result was that the dog's eyes were blinded.
It's so cool!
The effect shown was roughly that Jack's hands were crossed into a cross, and the monster was instantly overwhelmed by a "dazzling" pillar of light.
After processing the light, the next question arises, how do the monsters get out?
The previous way to exit was that after the monster was hit by the light, it fell backwards in a "freeze" state, and exploded after falling to the ground.
This is also Tsuburaya's usual way of exiting, using explosions to prove that the monster has been destroyed by Ultraman.
But there are other ways!
For example, if a monster is hit by a ray of light and "shatters" into light particles under the impact of the light, Ultraman's light ends, and the light particles drift away with the wind.
It's so romantic!
After all, you will always get tired of watching too many explosions, and it is also a good idea to change the way occasionally. As for the dismemberment, this one is too cruel!
It's better to explode than to dismember!
