To become the richest man from the beginning of the game

Chapter 1312 I still don't give pointers
Pei Qian was a little dizzy and couldn't figure it out.

The main reason is that when Li Yada wrote the content, he didn't intend to write it in detail at all, and a lot of content was written with the core content.

Mr. Pei, who is that?Masters of game design!

Why are you writing so long-winded?
In a simple sentence, Mr. Pei should understand it. If you write too much, it will be annoying.

Therefore, the written content on paper is relatively brief. Pei Qian glanced over it, and his first impression was that this game has a lot of mixed content, which is a bit bloated.

The focus is still on the risk of this game.

Anyway, as long as Li Yada can prove that the risk of this game is high enough, then Pei Qian thinks it can be considered.

"Let's briefly talk about your opinion first." Pei Qian looked at Li Yada.

Li Yada sorted out her thoughts a little bit.

President Pei asked me to report, obviously there is something I don't understand.

Boss Pei quickly read the plan, presumably because he has a general understanding of the content of the game.

After all, as a game design master, seeing a frame can make up the whole picture of the game, which should be a basic ability.

So, what should be reported now?

It should be reported that it was not written in the plan, and Mr. Pei couldn't figure it out.

Thinking of this, Li Yada said: "It is a small studio that proposed this plan. The previous game was called "Blade of Empire".

"The main designer is Yan Qi, and he has been in the industry for a long time. His previous design experience is mainly in the field of mobile games..."

"This game was designed by Yan Qi with a flash of inspiration. I think the content is quite bright."

"However, as I wrote in the risk assessment report, the size of this game is too large, which has completely exceeded the capacity of Yan Qi and his studio. The estimated research and development funds are at least [-] million yuan."

"Moreover, this game also has high risks, and the risks mainly come from the following aspects."

"The development experience of Yan Qi and his studio is difficult to be competent for such a super-large project, and many unexpected problems may be encountered during the development;"

"Because of the huge investment, the purchasing power of the domestic game market may be somewhat insufficient. Although it will have a good reputation among the minority players who prefer this type of game, it is very likely that the research and development and publicity costs will not be recovered;"

"Moreover, compared to the purer game content of "Return to the Shore", "Shu Li" has more mixed content. This is an innovation, but it is also an adventure..."

"As for whether it's feasible or not, whether you want to invest money or not, it's up to Mr. Pei to judge for yourself."

"The key is whether this idea and creativity are worth taking these risks."

Li Yada's introduction mainly focuses on the background of Yan Qi and his studio.

After all, the gameplay of this game has been clearly written in the plan. It is nothing more than the inspiration from "Return to the Shore", but it has integrated many gameplays and added various officially encouraged skipping mechanisms to create such a self-contained game.

Mr. Pei glanced at the points in the plan, and he should be able to make up the whole picture of the game.

If you introduce the risks of this game truthfully, Mr. Pei should be able to give a more comprehensive evaluation.

When Pei Qian heard about the risks, he was not sleepy at that time.

It sounds like this project is quite reliable!

The chief designer and the entire development team were working on mobile games before?No stand-alone game development experience at all?
And at most, you have done a few million small projects, and this time it will be hundreds of millions?

The key is the game itself, which sounds like a hodgepodge. If it can replicate the success of "Return to the Shore", the difference between the two games is a bit too far.

On the surface, they both seem to have a bit of an element of suffering, but when you look deeper, there is a big difference.

Moreover, the background of the story is empty, there is no IP, and the prototype is based on a relatively unpopular dynasty in history. This story background should not have any bonus points for players.

It feels good!
Pei Qian took the plan again and looked at it.

This gameplay of suffering in the early stage and brushing in the later stage does not seem to be completely unfeasible, but considering two points, first, similar games are rarely made into popular games, and second, the investment in the game itself is huge, and the development team is inexperienced, so Taken together, the possibility of making money is actually very low.

Whether the game makes money or not is relative.

The higher the investment, the more difficult it is to make money.

Because there are only so many player groups, it is difficult to break through the upper limit of game pricing. More investment means higher guaranteed sales, and every time sales increase by an order of magnitude, the difficulty will increase exponentially.

In a word, it is worth a try!
After thinking for a moment, Pei Qian said, "You can invest money."

Li Yada couldn't help but feel happy.

Mr. Pei agreed, which means that the gameplay of this game is okay and it can become popular!

But after waiting for a while, Li Yada hesitated and asked, "President Pei, do you have any comments or suggestions? Is there anything that can be improved about the gameplay of this game?"

Pei Qian looked at the proposal, and then at Li Yada.

Where to improve?
In fact, he really wanted to command, but after thinking about it, judging from the "results" of his previous guidance on Tengda Games and Shangyang Games, it's better to rest when it's cool.

What if a random pointing point has the effect of finishing touch and makes this game fly?
That would be pissing off.

Therefore, Pei Qian shook his head: "As an investor, don't always interfere indiscriminately. Everyone has their own ideas about games. After all, this is not Tenda's game."

"Besides, I think this game is okay, there is no major problem."

"The only thing I worry about is whether [-] million is enough. It might be better if I can add a little more."

"Imagination is priceless, how can money limit a designer's imagination?"

It stands to reason that [-] million is quite a lot, but for this kind of game, it is obvious that the greater the investment, the harder it is to recover the cost.

In other words, every additional sum after [-] million will make the game more difficult to make money exponentially.

But Pei Qian couldn't directly say that he wanted more money, that was unreasonable, after all, he only wanted [-] million.

And the system is still watching, so I have to find a way to fool it.

An advantage of such a project is that the system will not use it for card settlement. For Pei Qian, the money spent is spent, and there is no need to worry about it for a long time.

But Pei Qian couldn't think of a specific reason to spend more money for the time being, so he could only let the game designer think for himself.

Li Yada nodded: "Really? Boss Pei thinks so too?"

"Indeed, this kind of game still needs to have sufficient research and development funds, so that the effect can be good."

"In that case, I'll go back and ask Yan Qi to refine the plan further, add back the previously cut content, add more to the game's flow, level design, equipment, props, NPCs, monsters, etc. Do more."

Pei Qian added: "Recruitment should also be arranged as soon as possible. Anyway, sooner or later you have to recruit people. Don't do it halfway and find out that the progress is too slow. Then you won't be in a hurry."

For game companies, labor costs are the bulk of development costs.

The more people recruited, the greater the daily expenses. Recruiting people earlier costs money, and recruiting more people costs more.

Anyway, for such a large project, a new team needs to be adjusted, and the development time cannot be shortened. Hiring people early will not make the development progress much faster, but will cost more.

Li Yada was a little moved.

Although she had expected that Boss Pei might invest in this game and support Yan Qi's dream, she didn't expect Boss Pei to be so open-minded, one hundred million is enough, and more money is needed.

But to be honest, similar game effects are indeed created by spending money.

When Tengda made "Return to the Shore", the foundation was not very solid, so the content of the game was relatively pure, the game process was not too long, and the final price of the game was not high.

But now, Tengda's size is no longer what it used to be.

Maybe Mr. Pei decided to lend a helping hand because he saw the current predicament of Yan Qi's small studio and thought of the state of Tengda when it was first established?
We can't let the project "Mili" leave any regrets!
Sure enough, Mr. Pei's understanding of investment is different from other investors.

Other investors are thinking about how to cut costs, how to seek the greatest return with the lowest cost, so when encountering this kind of project, the first reaction must be how to reduce the cost, and the second reaction is to interfere with the project. interfere with creation.

But Mr. Pei is different. When encountering this kind of problem, the first reaction is to consider whether the money is enough, whether to recruit people as soon as possible, and even if Mr. Pei is always a master of game design, he fully respects the original designer's ideas. Any intention to interfere with creation!
It can only be said that Mr. Pei's first identity is a designer, and then an investor.

In other words, even if Pei is always an investor, he is still an investor with a completely different nature from other investors.

"Okay, Boss Pei, then I'll go and tell the designer to go over the plan again, fill in all the ideas that were cut off before, and complete the game."

"Uh...or wait for He Desheng to come back and let He Desheng talk about it?"

"I still have to ensure that my identity will not be revealed."

What Li Yada told Yan Qi before was that she knew people from Yuanmeng Venture Capital and could talk to her, but if she directly passed on the official message, it would be a bit beyond the scope of a friend, and it would easily arouse suspicion.

Therefore, it would be better to wait for He Desheng to come back and talk as the person in charge of Yuanmeng Venture Capital.

Pei Qian nodded: "Well, yes, we still need to keep it secret."

"Speaking of which... the identity of Chaolu Game Platform, can you still hide it?"

Li Yada thought for a while: "It's okay, it's still safe."

Pei Qian was a little relieved: "Okay, keep hiding it for as long as you can. This is very important."

Continue to keep it hidden so that you can continue to burn money. Don't expose it in the short term, and you can burn more money.

Once the relationship between Chaolu Game Platform and Tengda is exposed, it will only be forced to enter the next stage.
