Chapter 255: Another Self (Afternoon Waiver)

Friendly reminder, the afternoon is free of charge, and everyone who is fattened can be slaughtered

————————

The original origin of the word "cottage" is difficult to verify, and the first time Chu Yuanxi saw the word cottage was actually to see a group of players evaluating an online game.

The very awesome thing about that online game is that all the art resources are the art resources of other games, whether it is characters, scenes or special effects, etc., take other people's resources and make your own game. It seems that it was in 07 that Chu Yuanxi first heard of the concept of "cottage".

Now Yang Jiangang's proposal is a rigorous replica of this scenario, what he means is actually that there are nearly 20,000 R&D teams in China just at the peak of mobile game entrepreneurship, and these teams do not die after developing only one game. Even if it's a one-round game, there are 20,000 lying corpse games on the market with a 1% survival rate.

After a game product is lying down, its art resources will have a small chance of being reused by the same company in other games, and there is a high probability that it will be shelved, but even if it is a game on the street, the factors of the street are diverse, and its art is not necessarily the street.

Yang Jiangang meant to let Chu Yuanxi buy the art resources of these failed products, the price must be very cheap, and after taking it, you can directly change it and change it, such as adding some actions to the characters.

"Can this work?" Chu Yuanxi said with difficulty: "Your ideal should be called the 'Shanzhai Counterattack Plan', right?

"Hey, you're really brainless, use your ingenuity to think about it!" Yang Jiangang was angry, "All these domestic art makers are all the same way, okay? Which of the 3D ones is not made of 3Dmax as resources? Which of the 2D animations is not made of spine? There is no problem of inconsistent specifications at all, it is nothing more than the inconsistent naming method, the process is basically the same, and there will be relatively big changes after being poured into different engines." I've mentioned so many outsourcing needs, trust me!

As for the art style, let's take a look at the market. There are so many game development teams, there are at most 20 art styles, and there will be no more, and there are only five or six of the mainstream ones, and there are a lot of corpses piled up on them, almost seamless!

Chu Yuanxi was said to be proud. If the cost is not high, it can indeed be taken down, even if Yang Jiangang finally kneels, this batch of art resources may be used in the future. For example, the acquisition of a batch of martial arts resources, as long as the art style is consistent, won't a martial arts game be used in the future?

He thought for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "I see what you mean." The support you need, you need to redeem DKP with the company, basically you can think of DKP as a budget. I promised to help you achieve your dreams, but I also had to think about how far I could help you, which was fair to the rest of the company. So I can give you an additional 3 million worth of DKP, which can only be used for this, but it is estimated that it is not enough. For the rest, you need to work hard to find DKP on your own, or partner with other DKP owners. ”

"Okay, 3 million is not a lot. And I'm not going to start working now, I can save DKP while making plans. Yang Jiangang immediately began mental arithmetic.

Theoretically, to achieve this ideal, he first needed to have an animation engine, and in his solution, individual developers would eventually need to use the engine to compile their own animations. This requires a good business negotiation to make it happen. Because it is difficult to pay money directly, it is impossible for such platforms to accept project sharing or pay-per-piece with engine companies for the business they want to do.

It's really not possible to organize manpower to make an engine by yourself, although it is more laborious, but there are actually many animation engines made by domestic teams, but there are relatively few that can meet the commercialization standards, and the most ideal is to open the mature commercial engine to individual developers through the protocol.

If you develop the engine yourself, it will require a lot of money, and 3 million is far from enough. However, this kind of engine may also be needed by Baren Entertainment, so it is not necessarily necessary for Yang Jiangang to bear the development costs.

Then there is the purchase of fine art resources, which requires careful selection and a lot of business negotiations. The key is choice, Yang Jiangang feels that he has a great advantage, as a senior game planner, he has played a lot of high-quality games, and he has also played a lot of lazy games, there are thousands of games in his own field of vision alone, even if he picks a corpse from this sample, it is enough.

The second is the plot editor, which is simple, because Pengfei Technology has not gone out of business, the original program ape is still there, you can dig it up at any time, or find someone to re-develop, the cost is negligible.

Finally, there is the repair of art resources, and the purchased resources must be optimized and organized by a group of artists, and various differentiated things must be unified before they can be used, and actions and special effects must be added. This is a simple labor cost, but the cost is not small.

In general - we have a big advantage!

However, Chu Yuanxi felt that it was more likely to play GG, because Yang Jiangang only counted the production link of the product, not the sales link. You must know that animation is not made for fun, not for self-satisfaction, it needs to be sold and made to make money, it is considered successful! In this era, the standard of success is so simple and cruel!

And as a platform, you have to help content creators sell their animations, if they do a really good job. Because the platform obviously does not provide voluntary labor, the platform will definitely have to share the content creator's work after it is completed!

The question is who to sell it to? Will this kind of rich copycat-style animation have a pick-up man? Chu Yuanxi expressed deep doubts.

However, he also knows that many entrepreneurial projects need to cross the river by feeling the stones when the track is unknown, which is different from those with a clear track. For example, if you start a mobile game business, the production, supply and marketing links are ready-made, there are strong rules, and entrepreneurs only need to do their part, and the future is very clear, and there is no need to live in doubt every day.

As for Yang Jiangang, he needs to always believe that he is right when he does not see the direction of progress, and persuade himself to continue to persist when he sees no hope and suffers repeated setbacks.

Or to put it another way, the trend is the entrepreneur's best partner, but no one has traveled to the track, and the trend is of course unknown. Therefore, entrepreneurs must move forward, without friends and rivals.

Chu Yuanxi looked at Yang Jiangang as if he was looking at himself in the original world two years ago.
