Game Design: Is that okay, CaiGou?

Chapter 203: What does a gathering of heroes mean? It’s obviously a meeting of car companies (please subscribe)
Got it?

Already have it?
Although General Cai Tiangong, Old Thief Gou, is known as the fastest shooter in the gaming industry.

But it is outrageous to have game ideas in such a short period of time.

Zhong Chu, Wu Xiu and others were a little shocked, but when they saw it was Cai Gou, they felt it was reasonable.

As the five members of the trapped camp participating in the Taiping Dao high-level meeting for the first time, one can imagine the shock in their hearts.

"Brother Dog, Brother Dog, tell me, I'm so curious!" Fei Yangyang asked.

The other participants also looked at Cai Gou in unison, their eyes twinkling with curiosity.

Cai Gou smiled slightly. Through Zhu Ping'an and Fei Yangyang's questions, he thought of a game——

"Pokémon GO"!
This is a game that allows you to explore, capture, battle, and exchange Pokémon that appear in the real world.

Players can use their smartphones to discover, capture and battle Pokémon in the real world.

The more Pokémon a player catches as a Pokémon trainer, the more powerful they will become, giving them a chance to catch stronger and rarer Pokémon.

Cai Gou stood up and came to the white writing board in front of the conference table. He picked up the whiteboard pen and explained to everyone:
"The monk is right. Running is the sport with the lowest entry barrier, so it has the largest number of participants. Under the purpose of the national fitness plan, we must also create a game with the lowest entry barrier."

“In today’s smart era, smartphones are almost as popular as buying one, which can be called the electronic game device with the lowest entry barrier. If you want to make a sports game that is popular among everyone, mobile games are undoubtedly the most suitable type. .”

The more Cai Gou talked, the more excited he became, writing out his thoughts on the writing board with a whiteboard marker.

"Taipingdao can completely use AR technology to create a reality-enhanced, pet-growing, battle-type, RPG mobile game - "Pokémon GO""

In the game, the player plays a trainer, and the player can interact with the real world through the trainer in the game. The trainer's position will change on the game map as the player's position in the real world changes.

Trainer characters have level settings. After increasing the trainer level, in addition to encountering stronger Pokémon, the props that can be purchased in the Pokémon Store will also become more advanced.

The game allows players to explore the world and collect over a hundred Pokémon of different types. Pokémon are hidden in the white mist on the game map. The white mist is visible within a range of 200 meters. Players can use Pokémon balls. Capture the Pokémon.

Pokémon will be distributed in many interesting places such as——

Scenic spots, famous attractions, art galleries, historical sites, monuments, etc. all over the world.

Pokémon are mainly distributed around the world based on their attributes. For example, the aquatic Pokémon Blastoise will appear next to the sea or on the beach, Charizard may appear in areas near the equator, and specific Pokémon will appear in areas near the equator. Unique location life.

However, rare Pokémon will only appear in a few locations around the world.

Of course, we have to ensure that Pokémon do not appear in places that are inaccessible to people, such as inside volcanoes or the North Pole.

Similarly, some dangerous places such as crossroads will not be inhabited by Pokémon, so the habitat of these Pokémon will be anywhere that players can easily reach.

Through the interaction between reality and games?

Players move and discover Pokémon!

juvenile!

Do you want to become stronger?

Want to become the king of trainers?

Get out of the house and travel around the world!

Fei Yangyang's eyes lit up: "Mobile games are indeed the most cost-effective solution nowadays, "Pokémon GO"? Then we have to contact the copyright company of Pokémon."

Cai Gou nodded slightly and said to Wu Xiu beside him:

"Brother Angkor, you are responsible for contacting the Pokémon Company and obtaining the Pokémon game license as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll take care of it!" Wu Xiu nodded hurriedly.

As a generation who grew up watching Pokémon, Zhu Pingan is not unfamiliar with Pokémon. He even drew Pokémon books during the years when he was an imperial uncle.

Students from the Game Design Institute who have seen the LSP in the Pokémon Book all express their feelings to the emperor——

Very good!
After listening to Cai Gou's introduction to the "Pokémon GO" game, Zhu Pingan naturally understood that there is an essential difference between pure sports and sports gamification. Mobile games are already the lowest barrier to entry.

Although "Pokémon GO" does not provide players with higher-intensity fitness exercises like Ring Fit Adventure, it can make players walk.

but……

Zhu Pingan asked; "Brother Dog, the game "Pokémon GO" only has interaction between trainers and Pokémon. Is there any interaction between trainers and trainers?"

Cai Goucheng said with a thought in his chest: "Of course! We will set up a gym in the real world!"

"The Gym is not a arena to challenge NPCs, but an asynchronous PVP area. Pokémon Gyms are located in major famous attractions in the city. Gyms are where you can challenge Pokémon from the enemy camp, or train with Pokémon from your own camp. The place."

Zhu Ping'an chuckled: "It seems that the era of Cyber ​​Ash is coming soon."

Zhong Chu asked, with a hint of regret in his tone: "Mr. Cai, what about the fitness ring adventure? Isn't it going to be developed?"

"No, we still need to develop it!" Cai Gou said:
"We target different groups of people and adopt a two-pronged approach."

"Ring Fitness Adventure can be used as a national fitness program and a heavyweight sports game mode. It is designed to provide better sports games for players who want to keep fit."

"Pokémon GO is a national fitness program and a lightweight exercise game mode designed to allow all players to get out of the house. Walking is naturally exercise."

Everyone understands, but there is still one last question——

Who will be responsible for these two projects?
The Aurora team is still working on King of Bayinbrook.

The Trapped camp also has Hunter: Call of the Wild on hand.

The team led by Fei Yangyang is still in charge of Civilization VI.

Cai Gou thought for a moment, looked at Zhu Pingan and said:
"I will lead Lei Gong Studio to be responsible for a project. Uncle Huang, you will lead the team to be responsible for a project. Choose between the two projects first."

Zhu Ping'an chuckled: "Then I'm welcome, Brother Dog, I choose "Pokémon GO"!"

"Okay, it's settled!"

Cai Gou packed up the documents in front of him and said:

"You first prepare the project team to complete the licensing docking with Angkor. I will write out the game design plan as soon as possible in the next few days."

Zhu Ping An excitedly waved his fist: "Okay, just take a look!"

Taiping Road, Chairman's Office.

Behind the mahogany desk, Cai Gou sat in front of the computer, concentrating on writing the game design plan for "Pokémon GO".

In a state of full concentration, the passage of time seems to be unnoticeable.

I don’t know how long it took.

Wu Xiu knocked on the door and came in. He reported with a look of embarrassment:
"Mr. Cai, just now, Han Han came to the company and wanted to see you by name."

Cai Gou nodded slightly to express his understanding.

Unless there are any special circumstances, other people in the company would not dare to disturb me when I am writing a game design plan.

but……

The King of Bayinbrook has been on the shelves more than a month ago, and the response has been very good.

Feichi Life and Bayinbrook King are bundled for marketing.

As a result, Speedy Life 2, which was released some time later, received an even better response during the Spring Festival release. In this wave of cooperation, the Hanhan team not only did not suffer losses, but also made huge profits.

At this time, he personally visited Cai Gou's house, and he was not absent.

What's the point?
If you don't understand it, just don't think about it.

Anyway, in this cooperation, Cai Gou considered himself to be an excellent partner.

"Let him come directly to my office!"

Cai Gou stood up and walked to the tea table, ready to make tea.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xiu turned around and wanted to leave.

At this moment, Cai Gou asked:

"Oh, by the way, Angkor, what did the Pokémon Copyright Company say?"

"It has been connected, but the progress is not that fast. You know, large companies are not that efficient."

"ASAP!"

"Don't worry, I've been urging you."

After Wu Xiu answered the question, he left the office and came back a few minutes later with Han Han. When he left, he closed the door of the office.

Everything is considerate and thoughtful, just like his current position in the company.

Cai Gou recently took a break from his busy schedule to learn some tea ceremony and was making tea to entertain guests. When he saw Han Han arriving, he said:
"I have to say that Mr. Han is a rare guest. I have used all the tea I got from Dean An to entertain you. You can sit wherever you like. The tea is not ready yet."

"Ok!"

Han Han found a mahogany rocking chair and sat down next to the floor-to-ceiling window.

From the moment he entered, Cai Gou was observing Han Han's expression.

Not only did his attitude lack the arrogance of Party A, but he was also asking for help from others and being courteous to others.

Cai Gou could basically tell that Han Han's visit this time, even if it was related to the Feichi Life Movie and the King of Bayinbuluk, was definitely not about settling an old score.

The process of Kung Fu Tea was cumbersome, and Cai Gou naturally had no intention of learning.

After a brief brewing, Cai Gou just wanted to pick up a cup of tea and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and handed it to Han Han.

Clinker, when Han Han saw Cai Gou's actions, he quickly got up from the mahogany rocking chair, walked to Cai Gou in three steps, took two steps at a time, took the tea, and said repeatedly:
"There's no point in being so polite. If you're in trouble, I can do it myself."

Cai Gou asked straight to the point:

"Mr. Han doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for any reason. Why did he come to see me this time?"

Han Han did not answer this question directly, but explained:

"The promotion model of movies plus games has been proven to be completely feasible after this cooperation. 2 days after its release, the cumulative box office of Life 25 has reached 35 billion. This is all thanks to the help of Mr. Cai and Taipingdao."

Han Han kept staring at Cai Gou's face during the conversation and found that he did not have any emotional fluctuations, so he explained:
"So we decided to extend the key for Speedy Life 2 and want to continue this cooperation model with your company."

When Cai Gou heard this, he asked:

"Mr. Han, I'm not from the film industry. Let me ask you in layman's terms, what is the key extension?"

"Snapped!"

Han Han slapped his forehead and explained with a smile: "It's my fault, I forgot about this."

"Key extension means that the film can be released later than the film of the same period. For theater movies where "time is money", the longer the release time, the greater the chance of attracting money."

"The key is actually a concept of copyright protection. The theater chain obtains the encrypted digital copy file before the film is released. As long as the key is obtained during the release, normal screening can be achieved, avoiding the possibility of the film source being leaked in advance and being pirated. ”

"The key also contains schedule information and has its own time attribute, which can control the release time of the film in theaters. Currently, the key time of most films is one month, and the extension is based on market response, one month, several months All."

"Oh..." Cai Gou said:
"In other words, Flying Life is only five days away from being taken off the shelves, but if you choose the key extension, you don't have to take it off the shelves. Cinemas across the country will continue to show it, and the box office will continue to increase?"

"That's right!" Han Han explained: "But the movie has been released for a month, so if you want the box office to continue to increase, movie fans are very important."

"Whether they are first-time movie fans or repeat movie fans, they are the paying people we need to explore. In other words, publicity is still crucial."

"With the release of the movie, the promotion of Flying Life itself has been exhausted. I am afraid that only the cooperation of Taipingdao can create miracles."

"Well..." Cai Gou explained:

"Mr. Han, I didn't mean to embarrass you. I attended this game plus symposium a few days ago. In response to the call for the national fitness plan, two projects have been launched. At present, the company does not have the spare capacity to produce another racing game."

"And this idea is unrealistic. You know how long the game production cycle is. Although I am known as a fast shooter in the game industry, it is impossible to make a game on par with the King of Bayinbrook within a month. game."

Han Han looked frustrated when he started listening, but after hearing this, he quickly laughed and said:
"There is no need to make a brand new game, just make a DLC based on King of Bayinbrook."

Cai Gou blurted out: "DLC?"

He slapped the back of his head violently, thinking about it.

Cai Gou thought that Han Han wanted to do something big, but it turned out that he wanted to do something small.

"Yes, it's just a DLC!"

"From a production cycle perspective, there is no problem. But..."

"Five million, five million for one DLC!" Han Han said frankly:

"Rather than spending five million on publicity through other channels, with little results, I would rather give you five million and wait for a miracle."

"Wise move!" Cai Gou held Han Han's hand and said, "But it's hard to find the entry point. In this way, I have only heard you introduce the plot and read the script, but I haven't had time to watch the movie yet. Give me a day to find it." Find ideas.”

"No problem, I'll leave everything to Mr. Cai!"

In the afternoon, the five million promised by Han Han has been paid in one go. Shows his positive attitude towards cooperation.

"Looks like I need to think about it carefully...Eh, a movie? I wonder if Liu Zhizhi has time?"

Cai Gou took out his mobile phone and was about to make a call when Wu Xiu rushed in hurriedly, holding on to the door handle and panting:
"Cai...Mr. Cai!"

Cai Gou looked at the time and said, "Is Rebus here? Why are you ahead of schedule at the two o'clock promised? But hasn't the company made preparations for the reception? What's the hurry?"

"No...it's not just him, it's a group of them!"

"What do you mean?"

"The bosses of Xpeng, Tesla, BYD, GAC Aian, Wenjie, Zhijie, Ji Krypton, Changan Qiyuan, and Li Auto have all arrived, but Rebus hasn't come yet!"

Cai Gou: "???"

What kind of wind is this?

So powerful?

Brought over half of the new energy vehicle market?

what is this?
Car company meeting?
Then you can't come to my game company for a meeting, right?
