Chapter 363: Dancing Life
Shu Leihao's budget for the development of this game in the game draft is 8 million yuan, which is one of the least among the games under the entire Myth Group, but considering that the skills of this kind of dance game are already very mature, it only needs to realize the few small ideas he proposed, plus the artists to design beautiful characters and costumes to decorate items to attract a large number of players.
"Mr. Shu, these ideas you put forward are not difficult in terms of technique, and if this dance game with the same name as the British movie "Dancing Life" is made, I believe it will indeed attract many players. If you were in charge of the game, how soon would it be done? Li Haoyu continued to ask, being the president of a studio not only requires a certain amount of skills, but also requires considerable management and coordination skills, otherwise no matter how good the skills are, it will only be the life of a technician.
Shu Leihao said confidently: "Dong Li, if I have enough funds and game developers, I can make "Dancing Life" within half a year!" ”
Hao Qian frowned and asked, "Mr. Shu, your game draft is a casual type of terminal game, are you sure you can make it within half a year?" ”
The production and development of online games is much more complex than mobile games, because of the inherent limitations of mobile games, in terms of graphics, game plots and gameplay are much simpler than PC games, there are many people who are proficient in technical skills One or two people can get a good mobile game. In this case, this is absolutely impossible in PC games, and it requires a team to work together to complete.
The development process of an online game is generally to first determine the type of game, how to play it, and whether the engine to be used is to be purchased off-the-shelf or developed by yourself, and then write a draft based on market analysis and potential customers, after which the online game can be considered a project. After the project is established, you have to find game developers, art, copywriting, main planning, system planning, level planning, numerical planning, script planning are all indispensable, such as art, copywriting and several kinds of planning need many people to work together to complete a game. Although Shu Leihao has completed the draft of the game, an excellent online game is not so fast to complete, unless it is the kind of "multiple" game of many domestic game manufacturers in the past.
"As long as the personnel and funds are in place, I can be sure that the game can be completed in half a year." Shu Leihao is very confident in his own judgment, and he was already preparing the game when he was working at NEXON in order to get the company's approval. It's just that he hasn't finished the draft of this game because his "MapleStory 2" in charge of it has been too poor after its release, and he was swept away by NEXON.
In the past two years, Shu Leihao has been working while constantly improving this dance game named "Dancing Life", and later heard that the Mythical Group wanted to set up a studio focusing on casual games, so he immediately came to apply with his own game draft. Shu Leihao is very confident in this game that he has poured countless efforts into, and only if the Myth Group gives him enough support, he will be able to complete this game in half a year!
Lin Zhengyi nodded slightly when he heard this, he and Shu Leihao only met after he returned to China in the last year or two, and Shu Leihao's current work was introduced by him. Lin Zhengyi still has an intuitive impression of his ability, but as for whether Shu Leihao can be hired, it is up to Li Haoyu and Hao Qian to have the final say, he is only responsible for finding talents.
Hao Qian is noncommittal, although he is in charge of personnel, Li Haoyu has the final decision on the positions of department manager and president, especially whether he can serve as the head of the game studio.
Li Haoyu pondered for a moment, Shu Leihao's game is indeed good, but it is only at the level of good, and there is still a distance from the boutique. Now the games produced by the Myth Group are basically high-quality games, and gamers in China have been circulating that "Mythical products must be high-quality!" In this sentence, if players find that the quality of the game "Dancing Life" does not meet the expected quality after the operation of the game, it will undoubtedly be a big blow to the prestige of the mythical group in the player group.
Li Haoyu didn't want this kind of thing to happen to the Mythical Group.
"Mr. Shu, this game of yours is indeed good, but isn't it too monotonous to just have a private space?" Li Haoyu said.
Shu Leihao was stunned for a moment, and then he was furious, and it took him two or three years to dance the draft of the game of life. It can be said that he has spent all his spare time in the past few years on this game, and now Li Haoyu says that the game is monotonous, which is like a stranger who doesn't know talking about his child's shortcomings in front of him, whether this person is right or not, Shu Leihao's heart is always very unhappy, and if he has a bad temper, he may scold this person.
"Dong Li, what do you mean by that?" Shu Leihao had developed a mood when he was working in South Korea, otherwise he would not have been able to work as a person in charge of developing games at a Korean company.
Li Haoyu smiled and said: "Mr. Shu, don't you think that even if you add these ideas, this game is still a dance type game." Since the start of Audition in 2005, many gamers have believed that they have grown tired of this type of game in the past eleven years, and even if they come back to this game because of these few small ideas, I believe that it will not be long before they get tired of it again and leave. Of course, I'm not saying that Mr. Shu's game is not good, it's just that this type of game is difficult to become popular in the current environment, Mr. Shu, do you think I'm right? ”
Although Shu Leihao doesn't want to admit it, he has to believe that Li Haoyu is very reasonable, in recent years, game manufacturers have rarely developed dance type games, and even if there is, it is all old wine in new bottles, and there is no innovation. His game has selling points and innovations, but it's really hard to catch fire.
"Dong Li, what do you think?" Shu Leihao looked at Li Haoyu, who was several years younger than him, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Li Haoyu said: "Mr. Shu, have you considered changing the game "Dancing Life" from a single dance game to a virtual community game? ”
Shu Leihao said thoughtfully: "Dong Li, do you mean to make "Dancing Life" the same game as EA's "The Sims" series of games? ”
Li Haoyu smiled: "It's a little similar, the game "The Sims" players can freely play various professions, while "Dancing Life" only plays the profession of acting star. Settings such as private houses, player interactions, and friendship can be borrowed from The Sims, where the player takes on the role of an ordinary person who starts with the most basic dance classes and eventually becomes a singing and dancing superstar, which can make players feel a different gaming experience! ”
Not only Shu Leihao, Hao Qian and Lin Zhengyi were shocked, if this game really became as Li Haoyu said, they can believe that this game can definitely set off a craze in the whole world, maybe the "popping" sound of desperately tapping the keyboard in the Internet café day and night will appear again.
Think about it, players can not only experience the thrill of dancing games when playing this game, but also do tasks and player PK like ordinary RPG online games. Of course, this kind of PK has changed from fighting to dancing skills, and players have watched the characters they have cultivated step by step from the bottom to superstars, and this feeling of overnight fame will make countless boys and girls with star dreams crazy.
There are so many talent shows in China, why do they have high ratings?
The reason is that many of today's teenagers have a dream of stardom, they are eager to be cheered by fans, eager to become a star in the spotlight. Therefore, since the success of "Super Girl", the talent shows of various TV stations in China have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, "I am a singer", "The Voice", "My Style, My Show", "Dream China", ...... Even though the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television issued a document to restrict the broadcast time of talent shows, there are more and more of these programs.
"Dancing Life" is a game that allows countless players to experience the feeling of going from ordinary people to superstars, and participating in the talent show requires not only their own excellent strength, but also what internal rankings, all kinds of shady scenes and scandals behind the scenes. "Dancing Life" is different, as long as you have excellent skills, you can experience the feeling of being a superstar, which will undoubtedly make many people excited.
Shu Leihao said excitedly: "Dong Li, if you can really change "Dancing Life" into this kind of virtual community type game, I dare to guarantee that it will definitely become the most popular casual game in China!" ”
Li Haoyu smiled and said, "Mr. Shu, do you have any interest in developing this kind of game?" ”
Shu Leihao hesitated, he knew his own family affairs, his management level and skills were good, but he was really unable to develop this kind of game as Li Haoyu said, and said: "Li Dong, it may take a lot of time and money to develop this kind of game......
Li Haoyu interrupted him and said: "Funding is not a problem, as for the technology, after you set up the studio, use the company's supercomputer to simulate the development, I believe it can greatly shorten your development time and technical problems." ”
Hao Qian said: "Mr. Shu, don't worry, the budget for a new game of our company's Xishanju Studio was originally 50 million, but in order to create a high-quality game, Li Dong not only had to invest 500 million, but also specially purchased a supercomputer, as long as you can develop a good game, everything else is a problem!" ”
Shu Leihao was excited, he patted his chest and promised: "Dong Li, Director Hao, please rest assured, I will definitely develop this game!" ”
Li Haoyu thought for a while and said: "The game must be done well, and the content in the game must be guaranteed to be healthy, this game just allows players to realize a star dream, is it for them to relax, do you know the way?" ”
"Li Dong, I understand."
