Chapter 168: High Cost
"Are we getting too high?"
Eggplant looked at Gao Yixiang a little embarrassed.
He found that Gao Yixiang also had the same expression.
They made a plan that looked cool and martial arts, and if it could be realized, players would be amazed when they played it.
But here's the problem...... No matter how they think, how they feel that it is impossible to do it.
The art resources needed here are too huge. Moreover, the game is made for players to play, and the player's machine is good and bad, if it is going to be on the PC side, this is also a point that must be considered.
Even if it is a host that goes up to the SN home or MS home, you still need to consider the performance of the host.
Based on the mainstream machine, can such a system be able to support such a large number of real-time calculations?
These are all questions.
The two looked at each other with a wry smile.
Taking a deep breath, Gao Yixiang, who is older and more mature, said: "Let's talk to Mr. Fan about this, he is the chief producer." ”
"Let's show Mr. Fan such a plan?" Eggplant is still not confident.
He felt that if such a plan was shown to the boss, he might be beaten.
"It's always okay to talk...... Right? Gao Yixiang is not so confident.
After thinking about it, he said: "No matter how much, we have made such a plan, how much we can finally achieve in the finished product, that is a realistic factor, not to our ideas." The money for making games depends on Mr. Fan's investment, and in what direction to do in the end, it is always up to Mr. Fan to make ideas. ”
Taking a deep breath, Eggplant finally confirmed: "Don't change?" ”
"Don't change."
……
When the two of them took the planned plan and found Fan Zhe, Fan Zhe was drawing a concept map of the characters of the Emei faction.
After hearing their intentions and reading their plans in battle mode, Fan Zhe fell into silence for a long time and didn't speak for a long time.
Looking at Fan Zhe's moody expression, Eggplant scratched his head, a little shy. Gao Yixiang, who is an old fritter next to him, also feels embarrassed.
They knew that the amount of motion design here, and the technical difficulty of the real-time calculations reflected in the game, was too high. At present, it is difficult for all 3A masterpieces to meet such requirements.
Seeing that Fan Zhe had not spoken, the two planners glanced at each other, and Eggplant said embarrassedly:
Mr. Fan...... This is just one of our assumptions...... In fact, you don't have to follow the plan completely, as long as there is such a meaning, it is enough. ”
At that time, when they were thinking about this plan, the two of them were really excited, but after calming down, they also understood that the project team could not really go in this direction.
It's actually good to be able to realize some of it, and they don't dare to be too greedy.
As for the final decision, it is naturally in the hands of Fan Zhe, the boss.
As a result, what they didn't expect was that Fan Zhe said something like this:
"No, just do what you think."
"Clams?"
Gao Yixiang and Eggplant were a little suspicious of their ears, thinking that they had heard it wrong.
After reacting, they persuaded Fan Zhe bitterly:
"It's too costly......"
"Let's just think about it, it's just a perfect state, and it would be nice to be able to achieve part of it......"
"The technical difficulty is too high, the implementation is too difficult, it is better to be stable."
……
After saying this, they found that Fan Zhe was indifferent at all, and then fell silent.
"Are you done?" Fan Zhe showed a smile, "Then let me say a few words?" ”
"You say."
Fan Zhe spoke:
"I think the combat system you have envisioned, if it can really be realized, will be really brilliant, it is a mode that is not available in the game market at the moment, and it will become a huge highlight of our game. If that's the case, then why not? ”
"As for the problems you are considering, you can find a way to solve the problems that require too many art resources and what are the technical difficulties of real-time calculations. On the art side, I'll take care of it, you can rest assured; On the technical side, I will communicate with our technical department to see if we can optimize the engine side again. ”
"You don't need to worry about these basic problems, I will help you all solve them. What I need is that you can realistically implement the plan you plan. ”
"It's just a little more investment, a little longer development time, these are all right, what I need is for you to be able to come up with better works in the end."
His statement undoubtedly reassured Eggplant and Gao Yixiang.
The word touched is very pretentious, but sometimes it has to be described in this way.
It's not too difficult to follow the rules and make a qualified, or even excellent, combat system; But if you do it according to their needs, you don't know how much financial manpower and time it will take to build this combat system.
Before that, they had a preliminary plan, hoping that by next summer, "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2" would be able to make a look.
However, after joining the plan of the 'Taigo Combat System', the entire development time had to be delayed a lot.
There are too many technical difficulties in this, and at the same time, another major highlight, 'dynamic rivers and lakes', also needs to spend time and energy to overcome technical problems.
Two major technical difficulties have directly led to the fact that it may not be possible to come up with a finished product by the end of next year, let alone last summer.
In the case of doubling the development time and increasing the development difficulty, the development cost of the entire game project is estimated to be two or three times that of the project when it was first established, or even more.
In this case, Fan Zhe, as the boss of the company, is still willing to support himself, just to make a better work.
It's not moving, what else can be moving?
After returning from Vanzhe's office, the two of them announced this sprawling and exciting plan to the studio.
The two characteristics of 'martial arts combat system' and 'dynamic rivers and lakes' made the entire studio and the entire project team cheer.
Although something has not yet been made, the idea of just planning the case is already very exciting.
At the same time, everyone was a little surprised that the boss was able to support the project.
"It's a pressure, but it's also a motivation." Eggplant is making a declaration to the staff of the entire project team, "I hope that everyone will do their best in the next year or two years in the development of the entire project." After all, if it weren't for the dimension, we might never have had the opportunity to participate in the production of such a project that has the potential to cross generations in our lifetime. ”
