Almighty Game Designer Chapter 54: Make every effort to make money from the manager!


   At present, everyone’s evaluation of these characters is: they are cute, with obvious characteristics, but I don’t know what these are a bunch of monsters...

   This was in Chen Mo's expectation. If you look at the characters out of the plot, you can see that there are ghosts.

  Chen Mo asked: "Goldfish, if you are asked to complete the original paintings of these characters, including refinement and coloring, how long will it take? It doesn't need to be too fine, just follow my line drafts."

  Su Jinyu thought for a while: "Well...These cards are not too complicated. Four or five days should be almost the same."

  Chen Mo shook his head: "Three days."

  "Huh?" Su Jinyu hesitated, "Three days is not impossible, but the quality is definitely worse."

   Chen Mo said: “It’s okay. It’s okay to put such a big card on your phone. It’s fine. It’s okay if the quality is lower. You can gradually optimize it in the follow-up. Now, we’re going to spread it out. ."

   Su Jinyu nodded in embarrassment: "Okay, then I will try my best."

   Wen Lingwei said: "If it is to refine and color these, I can too."

  Chen Mo was taken aback: "Are you sure? These are official game resources, at least so that players can't find faults."

   Jia Peng reminded: "The store manager, the elder sister is also a serious art student, and she usually works on the original painting."

   Chen Mo suddenly, yes, Wen Lingwei and Jia Peng are all from the school’s propaganda department. The propaganda department usually needs to draw posters and make exhibition boards. They don’t have the ability to paint and image processing to be ministers. Deputy Ministry?

   "Okay, it's just right for you to help draw together, it can save a lot of time." Chen Mo said.

   Wen Lingwei gave a meaningful smile: "Then how much are you going to open for me, the manager? One of my original paintings is 5,000 yuan, or a friendly price."

  Chen Mo: "...If you don't see it, you still touch it?"

   Like the original card paintings, artists of different levels have different asking prices. There are eight or nine hundred sheets, eight or nine thousand sheets, and even more expensive ones.

   Of course, these things are what you pay for. A good painter and a general painter must have different composition, light and shadow, color, etc.

  Like Wen Lingwei, a card is priced at 5,000 yuan, which is still a friendly price, which is already a level that a small famous painter can achieve.

   Chen Mo said, "But don’t you have to design, compose, and communicate with the demand side for your 5,000 yuan friendship price? I already have this line draft, and the size is smaller than your usual original painting. Several times, you can just refine and color, give you two thousand, okay?"

   Wen Lingwei: "Stingy."

   Chen Mo: "..."

   Wen Lingwei said: "Okay, for your pitiful sake, one sheet for two thousand, one sheet for three days. However, Goldfish and I are only two people, so don't be too slow."

  Chen Mo looked at Jia Peng and Chang Xiuya: "If you want to paint, you can also..."

   Jia Peng hurriedly waved his hand: "We are not as high as the senior sister. At most, we will draw some ordinary monster cards for you. The protagonist card should not be handed over to us."

  Chen Mo nodded: "That's OK, you have to draw a monster card later, you can share some of you, and I will give you the money at the market price."

   Jia Peng waved his hand: "It's okay, money is not important, you can just watch and give it to the manager."

   Wen Lingwei raised her eyebrows: "How about that! The store manager is rich now. "Plants vs. Zombies" earns him two million yuan a month? It won't be a few thousand dollars." /

   Jia Peng nodded: "That's right. That's OK, it's the market price."

   Chen Mo: "..."

   Wen Lingwei said: "Also, how do you count money with Goldfish? Don't say that because she is your assistant, you won't give money."

   Chen Mo said: "Just like you, a card is two thousand!"

   Wen Lingwei nodded with satisfaction: "Well, this is pretty much the same."

  Su Jinyu originally wanted to say that I don’t want money, but after thinking about it, why can’t I get along with the money, so I accepted it happily.

   Chen Mo is speechless, these people are really deliberate in order to make money for the store manager!

   Chen Mo roughly divided these cards into points.

   Both Su Jinyu and Wen Lingwei have a high level of drawing, and they are fully capable of drawing the protagonist card. Moreover, it is easier for Chen Mo to communicate with the two of them, so Chen Mo intends to give the two of them the most important protagonist cards.

   There are a few other students who can draw monster cards, and Chen Mo also reserved some shares for them.

   At the rate of one card in 3 days, it takes 54 days for Wen Lingwei and Su Jinyu to draw all 36 protagonist cards, which is obviously too slow, not to mention that this is only a part of the card. There are more than 300 copies!

   This is not the same as when "Plants vs. Zombies" was made at the time. Many zombies can be reused in Plants vs. Zombies, and plants are easy to draw. However, in card games, the cards are almost equal to the main body of the game. Players will not pay if they are ugly. Chen Mo dare not make do with this.

   Therefore, if you want to compress this time, you can only find art outsourcing.

  Chen Mo said to Wen Lingwei and Su Jinyu: "Do you know any art outsourcing company? The kind that is more reliable."

   Wen Lingwei thought for a while: "I know a family, and some of my friends are painters in it, and the level is not bad."

  Chen Mo nodded: "Okay, you give me your contact information. By the way, do you know an animation production company?"

   Wen Lingwei and Su Jinyu both shook their heads: "I know a few, but no acquaintance."

   Chen Mo said: "Okay, then that's it. You can fix the few protagonist cards I just picked out."

   Chen Mo turned upstairs.

  Su Jinyu said: "Wait, the store manager, what type of game do we have next? Do you need so many original cards?"

   Chen Mo said: "Don't worry~ IndoMTL.com~ You will know in a few days."

  ……

   Back on the second floor, Chen Mo was already a little sleepy. It seemed to be a side effect of the super accelerator.

   Following the contact information given by Wen Lingwei, Chen Mo found the person in charge of the art outsourcing company, and then talked about the needs.

  Chen Mo provides line drafts, so that the cost of the process of modeling design and drawing line drafts can be saved, and the time can be shortened accordingly.

   In the end, Chen Mo negotiated a price of 2,200 per protagonist card and 600 per monster card.

   Monster cards can be drawn more casually, so the price has dropped significantly.

   estimated in this way, Chen Mo spent about 36×3×2200+200×600=357600, 350,000 on the full set of cards.

   Of course, there are some monsters that can be re-used at will, but no matter how much pressure it is, it cannot be reduced to less than 300,000.

   There is a lot of money, but Chen Mo doesn't feel the pain. The money is really too heavy to be pressed anymore. Chen Mo is already quite satisfied with the full set of card resources with 350,000.

   Among them, Chen Mo gave Wen Lingwei and Su Jinyu the 7 key cards of MT, Shaman, Dummy, Bad Guy, Missy, President, and Big Sister to Wen Lingwei and Su Jinyu for completion. It takes one month to complete all of them.

  Su Jinyu has to be in charge of game design, so Chen Mo can't let her draw cards all the time.

   In addition, Chen Mo also distributed some monster cards to Jia Peng and the others, all based on market prices.

  All the other cards will be handed over to the outsourcing company. Anyway, within two months, all the cards will definitely be made without landing.
