The money that Wedo Entertainment can currently make from the work "Taiwu Picture Scroll" will definitely not be able to recover the investment cost of their purchase of "Luozhou Studio".

It is true that this work sold platinum, but most of it was sold before Luozhou Studio was acquired, and this part of the money belongs to Luozhou alone.

And the profit from the follow-up sale, there are still some, with a total selling price of nearly 20 million. But for this part of the money, Wedo Entertainment can only reap a part of the proceeds from the issuance, and a small amount of the commission sold from the 'Wedo platform', probably only earning three or four million.

At the beginning, the acquisition of Luozhou alone was an expenditure of 10 million; At the same time, at the time of the acquisition, "Taiwu Picture Scroll" could only be regarded as a semi-finished product at best, and the continued improvement also used manpower and money. The distribution money earned by Dimension Entertainment has almost just filled this hole.

But Fan Zhe didn't care about this either.

One is the current copyright of "Taiwu Picture Scroll", all of which belong to Wedo Entertainment, and this follow-up development will bring greater value; On the other hand, Fan Zhe also appreciates the attitude and ability of Luozhou.

The development of "Taiwu Painting Volume 2", Fan Zhe also gave them confidence and boldness, and even he himself pulled Zhong Hua together to serve as the chief designer of this work, responsible for the production of all visual effects.

Of course, the future income of this work will definitely not distinguish the difference between Wedo Entertainment and Luozhou, and the original acquisition was a wholly-owned acquisition.

But as long as the work is made and done really well, Fan Zhe is not a stingy person. There will be no shortage of benefits and rewards that people deserve.

In addition, Fan Zhe has another big killing weapon that can help, which can be used.

'Dimensional' system.

……

In the follow-up "Taiwu Picture Scroll" was officially established, about 30 artists were transferred to this team, plus planning, development, sound effects and other major departments, the total number of people in the Taiwu project team, there are sixty or seventy people, which is a relatively strong team.

On the third day of the official establishment of the project team, Fan Zhe once again found Eggplant and Gao Yixiang.

The general leader of the project team is still Fan Zhe in name, but the two of them are directly in charge, and Zhong Hua will serve as the art director of "Taiwu Painting Scroll 2".

"Eggplant, Lao Gao, I have something to tell you."

"Mr. Fan, you said." Eggplant was a little nervous and didn't know what Fan Zhe was going to say.

"Take it easy, that's good news." Fan Zhe said with a smile, "Our technical team has also developed a relatively powerful engine before, the 'Dimension Engine', and I think new games can be used for this." ”

Eggplant and Gao Yixiang looked at each other, they had already discussed before, the second generation of the work is going to be done with the Unreal Engine 4, why did a new 'dimensional' engine suddenly emerge?

Gao Yixiang coughed lightly and asked, "Is it a homemade engine?" ”

"Yes."

Seeing the expressions on the faces of these two people, Fan Zhe smiled, and he said: "Don't worry, I am very confident in our technical team, our 'Dimensional Engine' will not be worse than the now famous Unreal 4 and Frost 4, don't worry." ”

The two of them raised their eyebrows and reluctantly accepted Fan Zhe's statement, but they were more or less trusting in their hearts.

More than Frost 4? Fan Zhe dares to blow casually, and they don't dare to believe it casually!

Seeing their appearance, Fan Zhe didn't say much. When the time comes, they'll know how powerful the 'Dimensional Engine' is.

After all, this is something from the 'dimensional' system.

A long time ago, Fan Zhe had discovered that in the 'dimension' system, in addition to the function of picture calculation, there is also a function called 'dimension engine'.

Obviously, the 'engine' is a natural fit for games.

To put it simply, the engine plus art resources is equal to a game.

Of course, having said that, how to use the engine is also a big question. If this were not the case, Fan Zhe might have chosen the game industry as an entry point to restart his career.

The use of game engines still requires a certain learning cost, and after learning, the workload will not be too small.

Fan Zhe has not learned how to use this engine so far, and he has been too busy in the past two years to have little time to learn.

Nor is it necessary.

For him, it would be good to provide this engine to Luozhou Studio. How to learn to use this engine is a matter for technical personnel, and Fan Zhe only needs to manage it.

After all, he's an artist, not a technician.

Among the various subsystems developed from the 'Dimension' system, all the works that have been used and made are very good, and he believes that the 'Dimension Engine' is the same.

……

Not to mention what Eggplant and Gao Yixiang were in after they got the 'Dimension Engine', Fan Zhe and Zhong Hua have already begun to work on the art concept design of this work.

This is important.

The first work of "Taiwu Picture Scroll", no matter how it is blown, how it is spoken, and how popular it is, there is always one thing that cannot be changed: this is a small game, no matter how rich the gameplay and content are, it cannot change this fact.

But the second part, it will definitely not be like this.

With the 'Dimension Engine' and the powerful art power of Fan Zhe and his company, they can build detailed models with high quality and create stunning visual effects.

With such a cost, it would be a waste of one's greatest advantage to make a small-scale, small-scale game.

When they heard Fan Zhe say this, Eggplant and Gao Yixiang were a little nervous. According to Fan Zhe's meaning, the game "Taiwu Picture Volume 2" is going to the level of a 3A masterpiece.

3A masterpiece! It's the ultimate dream of almost every game planner and even game practitioner.

The so-called 3A, there is no special standard evaluation, but in general, high cost, high volume, high level these three characteristics are certain.

Needless to say, the high cost is the biggest hurdle in front of indie games.

High volume means that there needs to be a huge world view, a huge world, and a huge game content. Spend 3A money to make a delicate side-scrolling game, which is still not 3A. No matter how good an indie game is, it is difficult to step into the ranks of triple-A games, at least not in the world.

High level, to put it simply, no matter how much money you invest to make a garbage out, the R&D and promotion costs are very high, and it is also garbage, not 3A.

Then again, what game practitioner wouldn't want to do something like that? It's so appealing to make something fun, big, shocking, exciting. For example, GTA5, Red Dead Redemption, Assassin's Creed, The Elder Scrolls 5, The Witcher 3, Breath of the Wild......

These famous works are shining in the sky, which is something that eggplant and Gao Yixiang couldn't think of in the past.

Now, Fan Zhe said, are they going to make a triple-A work?

Can it really be done?
