Martial arts games are not easy to do. It's the truth.

Even if it was "Ancient Sword III" before Mao Yi's rebirth, which was known as the "light of domestic games", it was not pure martial arts.

At most, it is an oriental fantasy.

Zhang Xiaoquan talked about his plan.

In fact, it's nothing more than that kind of trick or something.

Sounds good.

But Mao Yi shook his head and refused.

Zhang Xiaoquan stopped talking.

"Your plan ......" Mao Yi explained with a smile, "If it's after you've proven your worth, then I'll easily agree to you, because I also want to see what a high-martial game-type game looks like." ”

Zhang Xiaoquan wanted to speak and stopped.

"But at this moment, you are still a rookie producer at Dream, everything has to start from scratch, and you can only make martial arts games. ”

Zhang Xiaoquan was a little dissatisfied, but because Mao Yi was the boss, he didn't dare to say anything.

This kind of old man in the industry has this kind of bad place.

Oily.

"You now have two options. Mao Yi said with a smile: "One is to make a game with a Xianxia background, whether it is ARPG or FPS, or even you can make an independent game." ”

"What about the other one?" Zhang Xiaoquan didn't show any emotion, but continued to ask.

"The other?" Mao Yi said with a smile: "The other is also martial arts, but it's not that kind of trick, it's not turn-based, it's a soul-like series." ”

"Soul-like?" Zhang Xiaoquan was a little stunned.

"Do you know Demon's Souls?" Mao Yi asked with a smile.

Zhang Xiaoquan nodded, then understood, and asked in surprise: "A game similar to the style of "Demon's Souls"?"

"Yes. Mao Yi nodded.

"This ......" Zhang Xiaoquan didn't want to take over.

Even when I was in Daewoo, every project was different.

But I've never done this kind of copycat game type of my own company.

"I'm not looking down on you. Mao Yi explained with a smile: "It's that you may not be able to make the taste of "Demon Soul", at most it is just a shape." ”

Zhang Xiaoquan's eyes were cold, but he didn't say anything.

He was long past the age of his young man.

If it weren't for the humiliation, he wouldn't have shown any expression.

"Don't be surprised. Mao Yi said with a smile: "You want to make a soul-like game with a fairy tale background or a martial arts background...... I'm afraid that at your current level, it is still a lot worse. ”

Zhang Xiaoquan was naturally very dissatisfied.

He felt insulted.

Mao Yi didn't argue either.

In the future, many games will tend to be homogeneous.

The Souls series, as the genre that has had the greatest influence on later games, can definitely say "The old thief is awesome!"

What follows is imitation by many people.

However, unfortunately, even if it is a major foreign game manufacturer, no one has ever been able to perfectly imitate the essence of Soul games, let alone domestic producers?

It truly explains what is called "copying is not good".

In the face of many domestic soul-like games, they can basically be described in four words.

Bite off more than one can chew.

So for Zhang Xiaoquan's dissatisfaction, Mao Yi just smiled and said casually: "Tell me, which one do you want to choose now?"

"Boss......" Zhang Xiaoquan said helplessly: "You always have to tell me, how much to invest, right?"

"For now, you come up with a plan first, and as for the funds...... There will be no less than 100 million red banknotes. Peng Hui thought about it and said with a smile.

Zhang Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, and asked a little incredulously: "A hundred million red bills?"

"Yes. ”

"This ......" Zhang Xiaoquan suddenly felt bottomless.

Even if it is a very popular or classic game in the domestic stand-alone game market, such as "Sword and Fairy III" and "Sword and Fairy IV", the total cost will not exceed seven million.

Yes, you heard it right, the total cost of a game of that quality is only six or seven million.

Directly multiply twenty times!

Zhang Xiaoquan has never heard of all kinds of deductions and exploitations from the game head office, but he has never heard of the head office giving so much money to develop new games.

"Boss......" Zhang Xiaoquan asked tentatively, "You just said ...... An FPS game in the Xianxia genre?"

"It can also be TPS. Mao Yi smiled and quipped: "Whatever you like." ”

"But such a game...... Can anyone play?" Zhang Xiaoquan asked puzzledly: "The cost of 100 million...... I just can't think of how. ”

"Can't think of it, or don't you want to do it?" Mao Yi asked with a smile.

Zhang Xiaoquan stopped talking.

Mao Yi smiled and said casually: "Of course, this is just a game developed on this IP expansion in the future, now...... Let's talk about the game I personally want to develop. ”

A flash of clarity flashed in Zhang Xiaoquan's eyes.

However, he himself is also prepared for the impact of the three views.

"First of all......" Mao Yi said with a smile: "You know the six reincarnations, right?"

"It is said to be a kind of fatalism of Buddhism?"

"Almost. Mao Yi said with a smile: "Make a game according to this." ”

Zhang Xiaoquan twitched, swallowed his saliva, and asked helplessly, "Boss...... You've got to tell me the genre, right?"

"Soul type. Mao Yi said with a smile: "As for what is a soul game, you can ask Hidetaka Miyazaki yourself, by the way, remember to bring the secretary, although he is learning Chinese now, but the progress is very slow, of course, you can also speak English directly." ”

"Okay. Hearing Mao Yi say this, Zhang Xiaoquan replied helplessly.

But then, he hesitated.

"You'll have to wait for the money, because the company has other games in development. Mao Yi said with a smile: "It will be divided into five to ten stages to give you money, and you will start making it when you have the money, but this money will not only require your own game, but also produce an official setting set and, it is best to have a complete world view and the like, and the follow-up film and television drama department also has a basis." ”

Zhang Xiaoquan blinked, and suddenly felt that the pressure on his body was too great.

"Boss......" Zhang Xiaoquan said with a wry smile: "I need manpower." ”

"Recruit yourself. Peng Hui said: "It doesn't matter what the funds are, salary or anything, I want one, within half a year, I need to see a more qualified demo, within a year, I need to see at least 30% completed, and within two years, I want to see a test version." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Xiaoquan was stupid, "But boss, we don't have anything......"

"Yes. Mao Yi said with a smile: "The company will provide you with an engine, and you can directly make games based on this engine." ”。

The engine that Mao Yi said is the crystal power engine.

This is also the reason why Mao Yi wanted to buy Mercury Power Studio.
