Almighty Game Designer Chapter 152: No need to control costs (2/17)
The big framework of "Onmyoji" is relatively clear. Although after numerous iterations of card games, its gameplay has been very different from "My name is MT", but the core is still the same, and it is still drawn and cultivated by cards. , Lineup matching is the core fun.
In terms of production, the more difficult aspects are picture quality and modeling. Especially for the model, the model accuracy of "Onmyoji" is very high, which is higher than that of "Warcraft" and "Wulin Heroes" developed by Chen Mo before.
In addition to models, background music, voice actors, original characters, etc. also require a lot of effort, but these are relatively easy to solve, mainly because of money.
In Chen Mo's plan, the design outline of "Onmyoji" is mainly divided into six aspects, namely Shishen and Onmyoji system, plot exploration, fighting skills, social modules (yin and yang, mail, chat, etc.) , Yushun, store-related, and other systems (summoning, illustrated book, etc.).
The most fundamental is the combat system related to Shiki, Onmyoji, and Yushun, followed by plot exploration. After these two pieces are made, everything else is easy to talk about.
The gameplay of the domestic card game is actually relatively simple. The main difficulty lies in the card attributes, values, and derivative gameplay. Therefore, the basic concept draft did not take Chen Mo too much time and was written quickly.
Chen Mo sent the concept draft and Abe Haraaki's line draft to Su Jinyu, and went downstairs.
……
After receiving the concept draft from Chen Mo, Su Jinyu hasn't read it seriously yet, Wen Lingwei and Qian Kun have already got together.
The two of them are basically caring about this game. As soon as they heard that the concept draft came out, they immediately gathered around.
Everyone was taken aback when they saw Abe's line draft.
"What the **** is this, Abe Seimei? Isn't this the famous Onmyoji in the history of mud bombing?" Zheng Hongxi asked in surprise.
Wen Lingwei said: "Yes, the style of this dress is also Japanese. The manager wants to make this theme?"
Zheng Hongxi said entangledly: "Can it work? Now the IP of card games is more powerful than the other. The theme of Onmyoji is not particularly popular in China. It seems that the store manager is planning to create his own IP again?" /
Su Jinyu browsed the design concept draft: "The manager wrote in the concept draft, saying that it is to make a boutique game, but also to ask professional voice actors to dub in Japanese? From the concept draft, this game is comparable to "My name MT" is much more complicated."
"I don't know if I can do it, I'm afraid I won't be satisfied in the country!"
Everyone is a little worried.
During the discussion, Chen Mo went downstairs.
"Come to the meeting room, let me briefly talk about the development plan of this game." Chen Mo said as he walked to the meeting room.
Wen Lingwei followed: "I also asked to listen!"
Chen Mo nodded: "Okay, whatever you want."
After entering the meeting room and sitting down, Jia Peng can’t wait to ask: "Manager, what kind of game is this time? Is it a game similar to "My name is MT"?"
Su Jinyu also asked: "Is it a game of pit money?"
Chen Mo said: "Oh, this time is a very healing game of conscience."
Su Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, that's good."
Qian Kun looked dumbfounded, and he turned over the concept draft again: "Huh? The store manager, are you sure? I think the summoning system and Shikigami training system planning of this game is not cured at all." /

Chen Mo said: "The healing I'm talking about mainly refers to the plot aspect. In the background story of this game, this is an era of coexistence between humans and ghosts. Onmyojis have to maintain the balance between the yin and yang. And this There are many touching stories about monsters and people. Most monsters have a sad life experience. Isn't this story cured?"
Zheng Hongxi turned over the concept draft: "Um... this story seems to be quite healing."
Qian Kun scratched his head, feeling something was wrong, but couldn't find a reason to refute it.
Chen Mo continued: "Actually, you can understand this game as an advanced version of "My name is MT". The kernel is consistent with "My name is MT". A game with collocation and battle as the core, but the form of expression has changed from a card to a 3D model."
Qian Kun came to the spirit, his eyes lighted: "So the manager, it's still a money game, right?"
Chen Mo's mouth twitched slightly: "Well, you can understand that."
Zheng Hongxi said: "Then, the manager, I have a question. Since it is a card game, the IP should be very important? Now that there is no big IP in the card game, I am embarrassed to say hello to people, let’s do This theme of "Neibang" may be pretty good. In China, there are still a few players who really care about the theme of Onmyoji?"
Chen Mo nodded: "Yes, it's a minority at present."
Wen Lingwei asked: "Then stingy store manager, how do you plan to stir up this IP? Or do you do anime like "My name is MT"?"
Chen Mo shook his head: "If you don't do anime, you don't do anything. This game has the ability to create your own IP."
Everyone was stunned: "Huh? Really?"
Chen Mo smiled: "Really. That's why we have to achieve the top level of game quality~ IndoMTL.com~ including original paintings, models, scenes, music, lines, dubbing, etc., must be able to crush the market Any other card game of ”will do.”
Su Jinyu frowned slightly: "Crush any other card games? This is a bit difficult."
Chen Mo shook his head: "Not high, not high at all. In fact, it is a matter of money in the final analysis. So when you are looking for an outsourcing company for Goldfish, go directly to the highest specification. It doesn't matter if you pay 20,000 yuan for an original painting. This time, in terms of art and music, we don’t care about the cost. There is also the dubbing, to find someone to contact the well-known voice actors of Nihong. If the money goes up, we must be worthy of our satisfaction."
Everyone was dumbfounded. An original painting for twenty thousand yuan? Still looking for well-known voice actors?
The original painting of "My name is MT" was only 2,000 yuan per piece, and the price was directly increased by ten times. It would be too costly! Coupled with models and actions, the cost of this shikigami can break through the sky, and it is more expensive than the previous "Warcraft" model!
Although Chen Mo is rich now, he is still a little surprised by the willingness to burn his money.
Qian Kun said hesitantly: "The manager, if the cost is really no matter what the cost, then the research and development costs can be tens of millions..."
Chen Mo nodded: "Yeah, what's the matter? Is there a lot of tens of millions? The CG of "Warcraft" cost more than 30 million."
Jia Peng scratched his head: "Of course it is not comparable to "Warcraft", but this is a mobile game..."
Chen Mo said: “Don’t worry, its profitability will not be worse than that of Warcraft. Let’s put it this way, R&D costs do not need to be controlled, especially the art and music resources related to the quality of the game. Yes, don’t worry about money."
Wen Lingwei was surprised: "Oh my God, the stingy store manager is so generous! I'm really not used to it!"
