Chapter 57: Mobile game planning

Views:

After sending Guo Feng away, Chen Mo buried himself in the studio again.

Currently, Chen Mo hasn't touched a single word of the game's design document, but he's not worried. The rules of the card mobile game are relatively simple, that is, the battle system, values, and level configuration are relatively troublesome, so don't worry.

Now Chen Mo has to finish the animation script and storyboard first.

Mobile games can make money only after the IP of "My name is mt" is popularized with anime, so the anime release must be much earlier than the game's launch, after all, it takes a certain amount of time for animation to become popular.

The development period of the game is a total of four months, and Chen Mo roughly planned it like this.

In the first week, give all the character settings, scene concept maps, scripts, storyboards, etc. of the first season of the "My name is mt" animation, and arrange animation production.

The animation production time is about one episode a week, and each episode is ten minutes.

Considering that the duration of each episode of the anime is relatively short, which is about twice as short as the average new episode of anime, Chen Mo worried about the lack of popularity in the early stage, so he considered releasing the first three episodes together, so that they would be released in exactly one month.

For the follow-up, there will be only one episode a week, and it will be exactly three months since the end of the entire first season. As for whether to continue seamlessly with the second season, it will depend on the development plan when the time comes.

During the animation production period, the game production is also carried out at the same time, but this time is relatively generous, and the main work lies in the adjustment of various values.

Card original paintings and various art resources should be resolved relatively smoothly if there are no accidents.

Chen Mo's goal is to make the game in about three months as much as possible, leaving enough time for testing and tuning.

In short, the first step is to spend a week to make all the scripts and storyboards of the first season of the "My name is mt" animation.

In the following time, Chen Mo directly turned into the original artist, using the memory playback potion to reproduce the forgotten memories, while recording the script and the storyboard.

In addition, regarding the scene setting of each plot, Chen Mo also had to draw a concept map for reference by the animation producer.

During this period, Chen Mo didn't plan to use the super accelerator anymore. The side effects of using it last time were a bit severe, and Chen Mo still feels a little guilty.

a week later.

Guo Feng came to the experience store again, and Chen Mo showed Guo Feng the script, storyboards and scenes that had already been prepared.

Guo Feng flipped through it, and he was surprised to find that the storyboard and script given by Chen Mo were very complete and standardized, and he could roughly make up the whole picture of the animation just by looking at the storyboard.

Moreover, the character design is also very novel, the protagonist is actually a cow

"Um… "

Guo Feng rubbed his chin. He originally thought that Chen Mo, like some local tyrant producers, was mainly for fun, and it was fun to make animation. As a result, after watching the storyboard today, the script, although it cannot be said to be perfect, at least The story is a good idea with potential to be explored.

If this is their studio's own project, Guo Feng should also arrange the best resources to produce it.

Moreover, the script and storyboard given by Chen Mo were very detailed, and even noted the design intent of some lines and precautions for dubbing.

What Guo Feng didn't know was that Chen Mo actually made some fine-tuning to the script of "My name is mt". Chen Mo replaced some too obscure stalks and replaced them with content that is relatively easy for audiences in this world to understand.

After all, Chen Mo now has a full score in the first stage of the plot ability, so it is easy to change some of the script content in this area.

"If you have more professional views on the script and storyboard, you can mention it to me. It's not impossible to modify it at all," Chen Mo said.

Guo Feng nodded: "Okay, if I have a better idea, I will communicate with you. But I am really surprised, your script is very good, at least in my opinion, this anime has the potential to become a small hit .”

Chen Mo secretly smiled, a small fire? You underestimated this anime too.

But this is also normal. In the previous life, although "My name is mt" was praised when it was first released, who would have thought that it could become popular to such an extent

Even when Ledong Excellence spent 3 million yuan to buy the copyright of "My name is mt", many people thought that the master's head was showing off.

It now appears that most people underestimated the potential of this anime and this game.

Originally, Guo Feng was a little worried that Chen Mo's script and storyboarding were unreliable, but after seeing the script Chen Mo presented today, his doubts disappeared.

The two parties negotiated very smoothly, and finally finalized the signing of the contract at the beginning of next month, after which the production will officially start.

Zhao Zihao specially sent an employee from his company's legal department to help Chen Mo check the contract. After confirming that there was no problem, Chen Mo formally signed the contract and paid.

The income of the second month of "Plants vs. Zombies" was more than 2.6 million, of which 1.8 million was used for the production cost of the "My name is mt" animation, and the rest was prepared to be used to purchase card original paintings, etc. art resources.

The animation production has come to an end, Chen Mo is now waiting to see how far the finished product can go.

Next, Chen Mo will officially start planning the rules of the "My name is mt" mobile game.

At the beginning of the "My name is mt" mobile game, its gameplay and various systems were actually relatively simple, but after many version updates, its various functions began to become more and more, and the more Getting bloated.

Chen Mo does not intend to copy all the system functions, because the updated version of the mobile game and the addition of the system gameplay are actually a last resort. In many cases, they are forced to be added like a force-feeding duck. This is to allow players to experience The new content will not lose the fun of the game and cause loss.

In the early stages of the game, Chen Mo still needs to "slim down" some things, and he can't throw too many ways to play at once to the players, making them at a loss what to do.

After roughly thinking about the final shape of the game, Chen Mo began to write the big frame of the design document.

These design documents include: main interface layout, basic combat system, card development system, dungeon planning, special battles, account attributes (level, title, physical strength, etc.), mall and vip functions, friends, guilds, backpacks, chat, emails, and related content such as daily activities.

With the help of the memory playback potion, the large framework of these documents was quickly written, because these systems are basically the standard configuration of domestic mobile games later, and the gameplay is similar. They are mature designs that have been verified countless times, so No need to think too much at all.

The main content of Chen Mo's work is basically in two aspects, one is the card development and combat system, and the other is the level and card value balance.

Originally, Chen Mo planned to hand over the design documents of some of the functions to Su Jinyu to write, but after thinking about it, these functions are completely unfamiliar to Su Jinyu. If she was asked to write them, Chen Mo would probably have to revise them again. waste time.

Moreover, it is also difficult to explain the design intention of this game to Su Jinyu. With this time, it is better to let Su Jinyu produce two more card original paintings.

After these design documents are finished, just ask Su Jinyu to enter them into the editor.

The big frame was finalized, and Chen Mo didn't delay. He took a ten-minute break and started writing the most important combat system document.
