Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 14: spend money!

Views:

After making up his mind, Pei Qian entered ESRO's official resource station and searched for general templates for card mobile games.

Soon, Pei Qian found one.

This is not the template of "Q Meng Three Kingdoms".

Because "Q Meng Three Kingdoms" is the creator of the card game method, it is also the most popular card game on the market. It is equivalent to a cash cow. This company can't be stupid enough to sell its own game as a template. .

But just because they don't sell, doesn't mean others don't sell.

Many game companies follow the trend to make card mobile games. The code is written by themselves, but it is just a reference to "Q Meng Three Kingdoms" in terms of gameplay.

And because these companies did not make money from the game, they had to change their own games and send them to the resource station to sell templates, which could recover some costs.

The template that Pei Qian has found now comes from an imitation of a mobile card game that has failed.

"Failed work? I like it!"

Pei Qian thought this was a good sign.

Click inside to see the gameplay system inside.

From the popularity of mobile card games in 2008 to the present, "Q Meng Three Kingdoms" has already undergone many version innovations, and the gameplay has increased again and again.

And this template is obviously a bit outdated, only the most basic things.

For example, levels, raids, arenas, etc.

There are no new ways to play!

The whole game looks pretty shabby.

Pei Qian is very satisfied with this!

This is the kind of card mobile game template he has dreamed of. It has no fun features and absolutely can't form any advantage in gameplay!

Look at the price, 100,000!

"...How come it's only 100,000?"

Pei Qian was quite dissatisfied with the price, it was too cheap!

You set a price of 150,000 directly, and I bought it right!

But on second thought, the template for the driving simulation class is only 20,000 yuan. Although the template of the card mobile game is more complicated, it contains many relatively complete gameplay systems, and it is not cheap to sell it for 100,000 yuan.

It can be seen from the download volume that the download volume of this template is far worse than the simulation driving game template that Pei Qian bought before.

This shows that its price has been inflated, and it is not very practical.

Pei Qian did not hesitate to place an order!

I just like this kind of inflated price of goods, which can burn more money without being warned by the system.

After buying this template, the basic gameplay is all there, and the next step is to fill it with art resources.

Art resources include a series of content such as interface UI, combat special effects, original card paintings and so on.

In addition to the expenses, there are also purchasing music sound effects, renting cloud servers, etc., but these do not cost much.

The main part is still in the art resources.

Pei Qian considered that he should keep 20,000 to 30,000 yuan for music and sound effects, and another 10,000 yuan for other expenses, and the remaining 160,000 to 70,000 yuan would go to art resources.

160,000 to 70,000 yuan, this money is not a lot, and it is not too much.

However, Pei Qian still didn't think too much about what to make of art resources.

Card games are the most suitable games for skinning.

It can also be understood that for card games, "skin" is the most important.

It is precisely because this layer of skin is so important that Pei Qian must ensure that it must be smashed!

Of course, it's not okay to deliberately draw ugly.

Due to system regulations, it is not possible to purchase goods or services that are obviously of low quality.

After spending the 160,000 to 70,000 yuan, if you only buy art resources worth 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, the system will not be able to pass that level.

Roughly equivalent services must be purchased, allowing for a little up and down, but not too much.

At this time, Pei Qian needs to move his little head.

How can we not only buy good quality art resources, but also ensure that players do not like it

It's very simple, let the painter use superb painting skills to paint a style that players don't accept, isn't it enough

The key is to come up with an art demand plan.

Pei Qian is not very confident in his ability in this area. After all, he has had the experience of failure in "The Lonely Desert Highway" and has some doubts about his execution.

At this time, Ma Yang's role is reflected!

Pei Qian downloaded a general template of the art resource requirement form from the resource station.

On this requirement table, the size of the various resources required is specified in detail, and then some simple descriptions of these resources are required.

The resources are roughly divided into two categories, one is the original painting, which is more expensive and has higher requirements for the painter. It must be painted in more detail, and the demand must be very clear.

The other category is other resources, such as interface UI, special effects, etc.

These resources are similar on the Internet, and they can be used by changing them.

But of course Pei Qian is not satisfied with changing it casually. How can he spend the money by changing it

Therefore, all art resources are customized!

Pei Qian first listed all relatively less critical resources such as system UI and special effects, and then filled in some very simple requirements.

Like, be cool!

To conform to the Three Kingdoms style!

It's all such a vague statement.

As for the final product...

Pei Qian doesn't care, what is love

Then, Pei Qian sent this list directly to Ma Yang.

Ma Yang had already woken up at this time.

However, he held the tome and watched it for two minutes, and there was already another sign that he was about to fall asleep.

Seeing Pei Qian sent him a form, Ma Yang instantly regained his spirits. He threw the book in his hand on the bed, leaned his head down from the upper bunk, and whispered, "Going to work?"

Pei Qian nodded: "Fill out the form. Use your imagination and fill it out with confidence!"

Ma Yang nodded sharply: "No problem!"

Work enthusiasm is very high!

Ma Yang looked at it. This is an art resource requirement form. There are quite a lot of parts that he needs to fill in, mainly the description of the original character painting requirements.

Pei Qian has already decided on the theme of the game, Three Kingdoms.

There are only so many characters in the Three Kingdoms. Pei Qian picked out a total of 50 characters, including 15 rare cards, 25 excellent cards, and 10 ordinary cards.

In terms of price, the price of an original painting fluctuates a lot, ranging from seven to eight hundred yuan to the most expensive one to four or five thousand.

If you go to the Academy of Fine Arts in a second- or third-tier city to get a student, you can buy one for 100 yuan.

Looking for a well-known big touch customization, it is not surprising that a card costs seven or eight thousand.

Anyway, you get what you pay for.

It is absolutely impossible for Pei Qian to find a well-known big touch to customize it, although it can make him spend more money.

Because the fame of the famous big touch is there, it is very likely that it will in turn make a publicity effect for the game!

In the same way, buying four or five thousand original paintings can indeed cost more, but once such a beautiful original painting is released, what if players like it? !

Again, the most important thing in a mobile card game is a skin. If you make this skin so beautiful, it is possible to make money even if the gameplay is rubbish!

So Pei Qian decided to buy a cheaper original painting!

If you want to spend more, buy more!

50 characters, and then make different states of different characters after they are upgraded and upgraded.

That is to say, it is equivalent to 50 base maps, each of which has four changes, which are used to express the effect of upgrading.

Based on the price of 3,000 for each base map + four changes, this is 150,000, and Pei Qian's budget is just right.

After all, the first-generation card game did not require a model, which saved a fortune.

Of course, the specific price has to be mentioned by the other party. Pei Qian is only a rough estimate.

Ma Yang has some doubts, these things have already been set, so what work am I mainly responsible for

After carefully reading the notes written by Pei Qian, I understood.

His job is to create originality and make magic changes!

In other words, it is to open up the brain and completely subvert these 50 characters, and change them beyond recognition is the best!
