Chapter 1216: Choice
Grown-out?
Ji Yinxuan blinked, and then hurriedly: "It's to cultivate this ......"
For a while, Ji Yinxuan didn't know what to call this creature like a "mouse" or a "rabbit".
"Pikachu." Shen Xin said.
"What?"
"I mean, this Pokémon's name is Pikachu."
"Pokémon?" Ji Yinxuan was confused.
"Ahem, it's an incredible creature that lives in the Pokémon world." Shen Xin coughed lightly twice, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Ji Yinxuan is a gamer after all, and after Shen Xin mentioned it slightly, she immediately understood, "So, there should be more than one Pokémon, right?" ”
"Of course not."
There are 809 kinds of Pokémon that are already known, and Shen Xin did not draw all of these Pokémon, but only drew more than a dozen of the more common ones, such as Da Duck, Wrist Force, Little Fire Dragon, Miao Frog Flower, etc., but even so, Ji Yinxuan was already excited, and the excited light flashing in her eyes proved her love for these Pokémon.
Xi Muhan knew how cute these Pokémon were, but because his body was not very convenient, he could only keep calm, so as not to alarm the fetus, but he kept a smile on his face.
"Cultivation ...... Since it's a cultivation class, it must be able to be upgraded, right? ”
"Of course, for example, Pikachu can evolve into Raichu, and the little fire dragon can evolve into Charizard...... These are painted on the back. However, I'm curious about what form this game is best made in. ”
"What do you mean?" Ji Yinxuan was puzzled.
"Is it a console game, or is it a mobile game?" Shen Xin said depressedly.
"How do you do mobile games?"
"Make Pokémon into cards of different stars according to different levels, and recharge the gacha card. There will be some cards with a high rarity in the game. Players who want to draw these rare Pokémon must top up. Shen Xin explained.
Changing the console game to a mobile game, there have been such games on Earth, such as "Fantasy Simulation Battle", where the game's level kara is taken out and made into a main quest, and then some rare cards will be put into the gacha pool.
The original painting of "Dream Simulation Battle" is Tomoshi Urushihara, and the female characters drawn are very distinctive, and his character design is most talked about by coloring, especially the highlight treatment, which can be called gorgeous. Later, in the "Fantasy Simulation War" mobile game, Tomoshi Uruhara did not serve as a character again, and the producer had to change the artist, which is also the most regrettable thing about the "Fantasy Simulation War" mobile game.
An old game that has been silent for many years can make a lot of money with the help of mobile games, "Pokémon" has no reason not to make money, and the gacha pack is also very suitable for "Pokémon", after all, there are 809 Pokémon in the game, just adding cards to the gacha pool, you can add it for several years.
However, one of the reasons that many players like Pokémon is that they can capture and train themselves, which is much less fun if you use gacha.
Moreover, as the most profitable IP on the earth, making "Pokémon" into a mobile game is somewhat violent, and when the mobile game is closed, "Pokémon" will be greatly damaged.
The IP of "Super Mario" is also very profitable, but its charm will not be shown until it is contacted, and "Pokémon" relies on Pokémon such as Pikachu, which is easy to attract players, regardless of age.
The cycle of making a console game is relatively long, and similarly, if a game does not sell well, the production company will also be under financial pressure.
Shen Xin has confidence in "Pokemon", but not necessarily Ji Yinxuan is the same.
"What about the host? What happens if it's made on console? Ji Yinxuan asked.
"Since it's a cultivation game, there must be a process of arrest. So, there will be wild Pokémon in the wild. Players can level up Pokémon through battles, and they can also challenge powerful trainers...... In short, it will be an RPG game with a high degree of playability. Shen Xin said simply.
Ji Yinxuan rubbed her forehead.
It's really hard to say how to choose.
"What do you think?" Ji Yinxuan asked.
"Console games." Shen Xin didn't think twice.
"What's the reason?" Ji Yinxuan said curiously, "Mobile games come faster, right?" ”
"That's right, mobile games do come in very quickly...... In this way, we can take a longer view. Aim overseas, not just domestically. The advantage of mobile games is that they are convenient, and the interaction of players is easier and more frequent. But the single-player game has a full storyline, allowing players to experience how a trainer grows up, rather than relying on krypton...... Of course, mobile phones can also make stand-alone games, but in the face of mobile online games, the competitiveness of stand-alone games is still not enough.
"More critically, it's easier to create an IP for console games."
"Pokémon" relied on the old game console, and the success shows that the quality of the game itself is excellent, even if it is placed on a mobile phone, it should be able to have a good income.
However, what height can "Pokémon" reach on mobile phones, and what impact it will have on this IP, to be honest, Shen Xin doesn't know.
Mobile games have advantages and disadvantages, and it is rare for a mobile game to sell well in different countries, but on consoles, there are indeed some games that can be popular in multiple countries.
If you dig deeper into the reason, it is probably because game companies have been pursuing the greatest common divisor for their own interests.
In order to maximize profits, game companies are bound to attract more local players, even if they are not veteran players. Console or handheld gamers are different, since they have purchased a game console, it means that they already know something about the gaming industry, so the goal of the game company is to make the gamers who buy the console willing to pay for the game. At the same time, the production cost of a game is also relatively high, relying only on players in one region, the cost borne by game companies is too high, and they are more inclined to bring in players from other regions.
Depending on the target group, the direction of game production will be different, which may be one of the reasons.
Ji Yinxuan looked at the Pokémon on the pad and frowned.
"It's just us magi......" Ji Yinxuan rubbed her hands, a little hesitant.
"If I'm worried about funding, I can give a part." Shen Xin said.
"Not really." Ji Yinxuan shook her head, "I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief, but I didn't expect you to come up with two more games worth looking forward to...... Mobile Game ...... Single-player ......"
Ji Yinxuan pondered for a long time, looked up at Shen Xin, but saw Shen Xin's serious expression, and he was entangled for more than half a minute before sighing.
"I see. Then make a single-player game...... Hopefully there will be a good result. By the way, Xiao Xin, you can't just let me see the vertical painting, the script or synopsis, no matter how bad the gameplay is, you always have to mention it, right? Ji Yinxuan said helplessly.
"I'll sort it out as soon as I can." Shen Xin nodded.
Thinking that there will be "Pokemon" and "Super Mario" in this world in a few years, Shen Xin's heart also has expectations.
