The big frame plan of "Onmyoji" is relatively clear. Although after countless iterations of card games, its gameplay is quite different from "My name is T", but the core is still the same, and it is still based on card extraction, training, and lineup matching. For the core www..lā

In terms of production, the more difficult aspects are the picture quality and modeling. Especially the model, the model accuracy of "Onmyoji" is very high, higher than that of "Warcraft" and "Wulin Heroes" developed by Chen Mo before.

In addition to the model, background music, voice actor dubbing, character original painting, etc. also need a lot of effort, but these are relatively easy to solve, the main problem is money.

In Chen Mo's plan, the design outline of "Onmyoji" is mainly divided into six aspects, namely Shikigami and Onmyoji system, plot exploration, fighting skills, social modules (Yinyang room, email, chat, etc.), Yuhun And store-related, other systems (summoning, illustrations, etc.).

The most fundamental thing is the combat system related to Shikigami, Onmyoji, and Yuhun, followed by plot exploration. After these two parts are made, everything else is easy to talk about.

The gameplay of the domestic card mobile 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 too much time for Chen Mo, and it was written quickly.

Chen Mo sent the concept draft and Abe Seimei's line draft to Su Jinyu, and then went downstairs.

After receiving the concept draft from Chen Mo, before Su Jinyu read it seriously, Wen Lingwei and Qian Kun had already gathered over.

The two of them are basically the most concerned about this game. As soon as they heard that the concept draft was out, they immediately gathered around.

Seeing Abe Seimei's line draft, everyone froze for a moment.

"What the hell is this, Abe Seimei? Isn't this a famous onmyoji in the history of Nibo?" Zheng Hongxi asked in surprise.

Wen Lingwei said: "Yes, the style of this dress is also Japanese style, the store manager wants to make this theme?"

Zheng Hongxi hesitated and said, "Can it work? Now the IPs of card games are more powerful than the other ones. 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 store manager wrote in the concept draft that he wanted to make a high-quality game, and he also asked professional voice actors to dub in Japanese? Judging from the concept draft, this game is comparable to "My Name Is T". It's much more complicated."

"I don't know if it can be done, I'm afraid that the climate in China will not suit me!"

Everyone was a little worried.

While discussing, Chen Mo went downstairs.

"Come to the meeting room, let me briefly talk about the development plan of this game." Chen Mo walked towards the meeting room while talking.

Wen Lingwei followed: "I also ask to listen in!"

Chen Mo nodded: "Okay, whatever you want."

After entering the meeting room and sitting down, Jia Peng couldn't wait to ask: "Manager, what kind of game is this time? Is it a game similar to "My name is T"?"

Su Jinyu also asked, "Is it a money-making game?"

Chen Mo said, "Oh, this time it's a very healing conscience game."

Su Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, that's good."

Qian Kun looked confused, and he flipped through the concept draft again: "Huh? Manager, are you sure? I think the game's summoning system and shikigami training system planning are not curable at all."

Chen Mo said: "The healing I'm talking about mainly refers to the plot. In the background story of this game, this is an era where humans and ghosts coexist. Onmyojis have to maintain the balance between Yin and Yang. And there are many touching stories in it." The story of monsters and people, most of the monsters have a sad life experience, isn't this plot a cure?"

Zheng Hongxi flipped through the concept draft: "Well... this story seems to be quite healing."

Qian Kun scratched his head, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while.

Chen Mo continued: "In fact, this game, you can understand it as an advanced version of "My name is T". The core is the same as "My name is T". They are all obtained, cultivated, matched, and played with cards. The core game, but the form of expression has changed from a card to a 3D model."

Qian Kun regained his energy and his eyes lit up: "So the store manager, it's still a money-making game, right?"

The corner of Chen Mo's mouth twitched slightly: "Well, you can understand it this way."

Zheng Hongxi said: "Then, I have a question for the store manager. Since it is a card game, the ip should be very important, right? In the card games on the market, no one with a big ip is embarrassed to say hello to people. The theme we made , it might not be too bad in Nibo, but in China, there are still a few players who really care about the theme of Onmyoji, right?"

Chen Mo nodded: "Yes, it is a minority at present."

Wen Lingwei asked: "Then how do you plan to hype up this IP? Or do you want to do animation like "My name is T"?" ..

Chen Mo shook his head: "I don't do animation, I don't do anything. This game itself has the ability to create its own IP."

Everyone was stunned: "Ah? Really?"

Chen Mo smiled: "Really. That's why we have to make the game quality top-notch, including original paintings, models, scenes, music, lines, dubbing, etc., and it must be able to crush any other card games on the market. OK."

Su Jinyu frowned slightly: "Crush any other card games? This difficulty is a bit high."

Chen Mo shook his head: "It's not high, it's not high at all. In the final analysis, it's all about money. So when you're looking for an outsourcing company, Goldfish, go straight to the highest specification. It doesn't matter if you pay 20,000 yuan for an original painting. This time When it comes to art and music, we don’t care about the cost. Also dubbing, find someone to contact Ni Hong’s well-known voice actors, if you pay more, you must be worthy enough to satisfy us.”

Everyone was dumbfounded, 20,000 yuan for an original painting? Still looking for a famous voice actor

The original painting of "My name is T" was only 2,000 yuan a piece, and the price has been increased by ten times, which is too much money! Coupled with the model and actions, the cost of this shikigami is skyrocketing, even more expensive than the previous "Warcraft" model!

Although Chen Mo has money now, everyone was a little surprised that he was willing to spend so much money.

Qian Kun said hesitantly: "The store manager, if the price is really not considered, then the research and development cost will be in the tens of millions..."

Chen Mo nodded: "Yeah, what's the matter? Is there a lot of tens of millions of levels? The g of "Warcraft" cost more than 30 million."

Jia Peng scratched his head: "Of course it can't compare with "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, the research and development costs do not need to be controlled, especially the art and music resources that are related to the quality of the game, all must be the best. Worried about money."

Wen Lingwei was amazed: "Oh my god, the store manager is so generous! I'm really not used to it!"
