My quadratic is absolutely abnormal

: Game Profit

Asuna continued to read down, planning to read page after page.

This is just the preliminary manuscript that Su Jie produced, basically explaining some of Su Jie’s concepts, key settings, some core elements, art style and other things about this game.

Su Jie didn’t write the specific game values, levels, maps, and the background of the whole drama. These are too busy for one person and require the cooperation of the team.

Therefore, Asuna didn’t look at it for a long time, and finished reading all the game plans. She was full of praise for the drawings of the ship girl characters that Su Jie attached later, and a light flashed in front of her eyes.

“Card collecting + developing online games, isn’t this way of playing too monotonous? Many of the popular games now are RPG types with a third-person perspective?” Sina still has doubts.

“Others follow other people’s paths. If no one follows our path, it doesn’t mean we can’t succeed. On the contrary, we don’t have competitors to compete with us for the market. For example, “Plant vs. Zombies” and “Bubble Hall” we made before, which one is the mainstream game? type, but didn’t they all succeed in the end?”

The corner of Su Jie’s mouth curled up. The main gameplay of Fleet Collection is to collect and cultivate ship girls. It seems very simple, but with excellent human paintings and the satisfaction gained from collecting, players will be driven to continuously find more ship girls that do not exist, and improve their skills. The collection rate of my own ship girls is similar to that of stamp collecting. The popularity of “Fleet Collection” in the previous life has already shown the prospect of this game.

“This is what I think about this game. The game is divided into a PC web version and a mobile version. The data exchange between the computer and the mobile phone can attract more players. In addition to pushing pictures and fishing boats, gambling boats are built. , but also try to improve some daily tasks, and increase the interactivity of the game, so that players can communicate and interact more with each other. In terms of investment, we will fill in a large budget, and increase the number of servers needed as much as possible, so as not to cause a game fire. Situations where players cannot be registered.”

Su Jie explained his plan for the game to Asuna. It is worth mentioning that although the game “Fleet Collection” became a hit in the previous life, it was not without its shortcomings. For example, “Fleet Collection” even had a chat function and There is no friend system, and the social interaction attribute tends to zero.

At the very beginning, “Fleet Collection” only had a simple web version. In addition, because the game producer did not expect the game to be so popular, the servers prepared at the beginning were seriously insufficient. After a large number of players flooded into the game, they could only use reject Registration and other means to deal with, missed a large number of players in vain.

Once Su Jie is reborn, he will of course remember these lessons. Even if he copies, he must take the essence and discard the dross, and supplement some things that were lacking in the original “Fleet Collection” to make it a perfect classic game.

“What about the game’s profit method? Opening the data exchange between the web version and the mobile version at the same time will cost a lot of money, and you need to prepare a dedicated large-scale server. I also read your plan, which contains rich settings and data about the game. It’s very complicated, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to prepare, and a large part of it is outsourced, and you also have to hire famous voice actors to dub the characters. There are hundreds of people in the game, which is a lot of money. , All these things are finally calculated, and the cost of developing this game is not low.”

Asuna asked the key point. The purpose of starting a company is to make a profit, and no one likes to do business at a loss.

Before the production of the game begins, the profit prospects of the game must be determined. Only after these are determined can the subsequent production begin.

“The game still adopts the method of free game + item charging. Like “BNB”, we do not sell money through game fees, but use in-game items to get money from players’ pockets, but this time it is the same as “BNB “It’s a little different. The props will be charged less. We need to expand the influence of the IP “Fleet Collection” as much as possible, and then make profits through the copyright of the IP, and let other merchants join in to pay the copyright fee or share the fee. The profits of the game props themselves are even more substantial.”

Su Jie explained the profit model of “Fleet Collection” slowly. “Fleet Collection” can be charged through props such as ship slots and rings, and it doesn’t affect the experience of normal players. I really want to do all of these. A few thousand yen, ten times more is not a big problem, it depends on whether you are a krypton gold player.

Of course, this game can be played without krypton gold. Basically, there will be no malice towards non-paying players. The sincerity is still very good. This is to promote the IP. There are enough people who recognize the culture of Jianniang and are willing to pay for peripherals.

“So that’s it. That makes sense. The material of this game is extremely suitable for peripheral sales.”

As soon as Su Jie talked about engaging in ip, Asuna looked down at the cute portraits of ship girls, and instantlyI understand Su Jie’s thoughts, such a cute looking character, as long as the game is popular enough, there will be no sales problems around it.

“So we will not desperately drain the players’ pockets, but adopt reasonable item charges, so that both krypton gold players and ordinary players can play freely. As long as the influence of the game IP expands and leaves an impression on the younger generation, we will Just selling Nendoroids alone makes a lot of money. There is a saying that one can get rich by making hands, and the most expensive hands can be sold for a sky-high price of 9.8 billion, and selling a few is enough to buy back a Ford-class aircraft carrier.”

“9.8 billion? You don’t have a fever, do you?” Asuna glared at Su Jie and said speechlessly, “Now we’re discussing the business, be serious.”

“Let’s just say a joke. To make an IP that transforms battleships into girls like Jianniang, fan effects and animation effects are needed. For animation, I have Firefly Company, which can animate “Fleet Collection”. The fan direction is our main problem. , How to promote Jianniang in the fandom, and let the fandom use the Jianniang as the prototype to carry out various creations, which is the main direction we need to work hard.”

Su Jie rubbed his nose. In the previous life, the ship girl was popular in half the sky of ACG in Japan, and it became popular in China on the other side of the ocean. Among them, there was a lot of influence from the fan circle.

A series of promotions by various artists, fan works, books, and cosplay have made the ship girl well known, and “Fleet Collection” has more than 100 cute ship girls with different styles. This rich material is enough for the fandom to play. At the same time of launching games and animations, Jianniang finally occupied an extremely important place in the entire ACG and was rated as one of the four cults.

As long as the IP of Jianniang becomes popular, then things will be very simple. Just lie down at home and collect money. At that time, major merchants will come to their door and ask to authorize this IP for them to use. What clothes, umbrellas, cups, pens, posters, exhibitions, arcade games, handheld games, etc., which one cannot be sold for money?

The developer of “Fleet Collection” did this in the previous life, and it was a big success. It was a joy to sell the peripherals. While shouting that our game is a conscience game without krypton gold, there are a large number of high-priced figures and authorized products. If you sell it, you won’t let it go without emptying the pockets of the nerds.

So! Su Jie is determined to inherit this fine tradition and carry it forward in this world.

Su Jie and Asuna have discussed for a long time about “Jianniang Collection”. Su Jie mainly explained his design ideas, gameplay and profitability of this game, and Asuna was responsible for supplementing the promotion of “Jianniang Collection”, various The organization of activities, and the development of peripheral services for future IP and other planning.

The two sides have been discussing for a long time, and finalized the rough development plan.

Because the Panda Game Company is owned by Su Jie and Asuna, it should not be responsible to other shareholders. If it is in another game company, a new game always needs to hold meetings to discuss various audits and investigations, and various shareholders put forward different opinions. It is normal to spend several months and half a year to decide whether to make a production. Unlike Panda Games, which is so efficient, it takes half a day to decide on the direction of a game.

Out of trust in Su Jie, Asuna did not conduct market research. She believed that the games Su Jie produced would definitely not be bad, and all kinds of material resources, manpower, and production costs gave Su Jie the greatest support.

“I’ll hold a meeting later to inform everyone about the “Fleet Collection”. How long is it expected to take to make this time?”

Asuna wiped the sweat from her forehead, drank some water to relieve her dry cough, and asked.

“The scale of the “Fleet Collection” game is relatively large, but the company now has a large number of people, and the production can be completed in about three months.”

Su Jie thought for a while and gave an answer, thinking that “Fleet Collection” can be completed well at this time. After all, the main difficulty of this game lies in numerical balance and character design.

The former requires a little bit of research by oneself, which cannot be leaked. The latter is much simpler. If the company can’t complete it, it can be outsourced to let the artist complete the original design.

According to Su Jie’s plan, this game can be finalized in about two months, and then it will go online for sale soon. It sounds unbelievable, after all, it took three months to make even Plants vs. Zombies.

First of all, “Fleet Collection” itself is not a time-consuming large-scale 3D online game. The production difficulty is almost equal to zero. With Su Jie’s guidance and the upgrade of the production lineup, two months plus testing are basically enough to produce a finished product. In the previous life, Kadokawa only took a few months to make this game, and a lot of time was wasted in finding voice actors for dubbing.

At present, Panda Game Company has a full 150 employees, with sufficient manpower and time. It is impossible to make “Fleet Collection” with so many people at a slow speed.

“It’s up to you. We’ll have a meeting to assign the tasks for the new game. I’ll contact some outsourced production companies and say hello to them in advance.”

After Asuna went out to prepare, Su Jie also sorted out the materials discussed with Asuna just now, and went to the meeting room in an hour.

The meeting room was full, and the management and technical backbones of the entire Panda Game Company were here, about 50 people.

Among them are the familiar faces of Su Jie, Suzukaze Aoba, Yagami Hikaru, Shinoda Hatsue, Iijima Yuyin from the art group, Abogen Kaiko from the programming group, Hazuki Shizuku, the director of Fairy Tale 3, Toyama Ren, the art director, and others.There are many other faces. Although Su Jie didn’t come to the company often in the few months since he joined the Panda Game Company, he can still be named.

In the meeting room, Asuna was presiding over the meeting. When Su Jie came in, Asuna nodded to Su Jie and gave up the seat to Su Jie.

Su Jie was not polite either. He walked up with the materials, looked around at the quiet employees below, and said, “I’m sorry to ask you to come to this temporary meeting when you are about to leave work. I will try to shorten the meeting time so that everyone can go home and rest earlier. .

Alright, I won’t talk nonsense, Chairman Asuna told you about the theme of this meeting, our panda game company has a new game production plan after the hit of “Plants vs. Zombies”, what do you guys think? Want to say something? ”

Su Jie speaks vigorously and decisively. Su Jie still has a high prestige in the Panda Game Company, especially after producing the boutique game “Plants vs. Zombies”, which has sold tens of millions, he has been in the limelight for a while in the company.

After Su Jie finished speaking, the eyes of many people below were brightened, and they looked at Su Jie with anticipation.

Not to mention the old team of Liangfeng Aoba and others who followed Su Jie to make Plants vs. Zombies, and the others are no different.

“Your Excellency Chief Creative Officer, the company has sufficient cash flow, and the funding for producing large-scale games is not a problem. I support the new game development plan. When will we start producing large-scale RPG games to seize the market.”

The chief financial officer stood up. She was nearly fifty years old, and she should be more mature and prudent, but she was uncharacteristically, she supported Su Jie without any understanding of the new game plan. The main reason was that Su Jie had proved her strength. The revenue of one billion yen also makes the company rich and powerful, and has the confidence to produce large-scale games.

“I also agree. The company now has a lot of employees. We have the ability and confidence to produce large-scale games and continue the glory of Panda Games.”

“I can’t stand it anymore. I don’t know what type of new game it is. Not only are we looking forward to it, players are also looking forward to our new game.”

The Chief Financial Officer’s words aroused a lot of approval. Up to now, no one doubted whether Su Jie could be qualified for the position of Chief Creative Officer at a young age, only second to Asuna, but believed Su Jie’s genius statement.

First of all, “Plants vs. Zombies” came first, and the celebration banquet for “Plants vs. Zombies” was only ten days ago. There is nothing more convincing than the sales results.

“Who told you that I’m going to make a large-scale RPG game?”

Su Jie felt that these employees were more active than himself. It was probably because the bonus that Liangfengqingye and the others got last time stimulated them. They all wanted to follow Su Jie to make a hit game and get a high bonus.

“Is not it?”

The employees below all stared wide-eyed. Now Panda Games Company is not short of money, people, or strength. Logically speaking, it is the best time to enter large-scale games at this time, which can maximize the company’s reputation. After all, small games are small games , is always less compelling than the larger game
