To become the richest man from the beginning of the game

Chapter 199 Increase the budget!

It's normal for Lin Wan not to understand, because the project she worked on when she was in Tianhuo Studio was "Bullet Scar", and after she came to Tenda, she participated in the production of "Sea Fortress" and "Game Producer". It is a terminal tour.

"Blood Song" is a page game, and it can basically be regarded as a completely different species from the above games.

Web games have a set of unique design concepts and ideas, and various mature system gameplays are relatively rare in end games.

Not only has Lin Wan not participated in the development of web games, she has never even played web games, and she is not interested in them at all.

And people like Ye Zhizhou used some commonly used terms in the development of webpage games in meetings, with some English abbreviations mixed in. When describing the gameplay, there were many colloquial and internal abbreviations for the gameplay.

In this way, although everyone is communicating in Chinese, Lin Wan can only understand [-]% to [-]% of it.

In a word, I know every word clearly, but I can't understand what it means when they are connected together...

Lin Wan could only record silently, without nodding or asking questions.

She didn't nod because she really didn't understand, and she didn't want to pretend to understand; she didn't ask because she was worried that she would show timidity and embarrass Tengda and President Pei.

Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin secretly looked at Lin Wan's expression every time they spoke.

I saw Lin Wan's face was serious, she kept writing and drawing in the small notebook, her expression was unpredictable, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Although she looks very young, everyone dare not underestimate her. After all, we all know that Mr. Pei has always been eclectic in employing people.

Those who can be favored by Mr. Pei must either have real talents, or have deep potentials that can be tapped. No matter which one is, they must not be offended.

Every time Ye Zhizhou spoke, he paused a little, trying to give Lin Wan some time to express his opinion.

Although Mr. Pei didn't change the design draft at all, who knows if the development director will have any opinions?

However, Lin Wan just recorded silently without saying a word.

Ye Zhizhou even doubted himself a little.

Why don't Mr. Pei and the director have any amendments?

Is the design draft I wrote so perfect?

Can't you?

Or, am I underestimating myself too much?

……

Finally, all the design drafts were finished, and Ye Zhizhou briefly explained the construction period, as well as the approximate amount of art resources this time, as well as the budget required to purchase various resources, which was just over 200 million.

Then, Ye Zhizhou looked at Lin Wan.

This time, the director must say a few words, right?

Otherwise, what are you doing here?

Sensing everyone's fiery eyes on her, Lin Wan was also a little flustered.

What to do, they talked for a long time, but I basically didn't understand!

Even if you understand part of it, you definitely can’t bring it up for discussion, because what you understand is obviously very basic. Wouldn’t it be a shame to talk about it?

Fortunately, Lin Wan stayed calm in the face of danger and successfully caught a place that Mr. Pei was absolutely dissatisfied with.

"The other problems are not big."

"That's the budget... According to my understanding of Mr. Pei, it must not work."

Ye Zhizhou was a little nervous, and sure enough, the budget couldn't pass in the end!

The budget of 200 million is a bit much compared to web games.

In the web game model, the research and development funds only account for a small part, and most of the other money is used for marketing, such as buying click ads on the web page, spending money to hire celebrities, and so on.

This is determined by the characteristics of the target audience for web games.

Web games are mainly aimed at office white-collar workers and wealthy bosses. These people do not have high requirements for the game screen, and many of them play secretly during working hours, neither wanting to work hard or use their brains.

They just want to charge money and click the mouse to kill people.

And these people tend to have strong spending power, so saving R&D money and spending it on publicity can maximize the benefits of the game.

But when Ye Zhizhou was making the budget, he was not willing to follow the traditional method.

Finally, Boss Pei made a final decision. The name of the game this time is "Power Enhanced Edition". It can't be made into the same level as ordinary web games, right?

The art resources must be high-definition, and the various gameplays must be optimized to perfection.

This increased to more than 200 million, and Ye Zhizhou even met Wang Xiaobin on purpose, and he was very satisfied with this budget.

However, still over?

Ye Zhizhou looked at Lin Wan anxiously, thinking, at most 40 to [-] yuan can be cut off, and if there is too much, it can't be cut any more!

Lin Wan continued: "I think... I'm afraid it will cost at least 400 million before President Pei will approve this project."

"Forget it, you should add it to 500 million directly, so that President Pei will call back when you can, and you will work again."

Every time the budget is overturned, all art resource tables, various plans, and artists and programs contacted on the resource site must be replaced.

If it is increased from 200 million to 400 million and doubled all at once, these plans will basically have to be overturned and redone. After all, the changes are too great, and it cannot be done simply by changing a few painters.

Therefore, Lin Wan was very considerate and directly helped them carry up the budget, so as to save the budget table they worked so hard to have to be returned by Mr. Pei and redone.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Ye Zhizhou almost thought he heard it wrong.

200 million is too little?Add to 500 million? ?

Is it okay to just give me a super double?

But looking at Lin Wan's serious expression, it's definitely not a joke, but a very serious advice.

Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin looked at each other, hesitantly said: "500 million? It's too much..."

"Actually, you don't need that much money, more than 200 million is enough, really enough."

Lin Wan shook her head: "It's enough for you, but it's not enough for Mr. Pei. You don't know how much Mr. Pei will keep improving these details. Listen to me and add it to 500 million directly."

Looking at Ye Zhizhou who looked down and changed his watch in a daze, Lin Wan couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"I finally understand why Boss Pei asked me to come here!"

"In addition to learning the design knowledge of other types of games here, there is also a very important point, which is to convey the spirit of Tenda!"

"Ye Zhizhou's obedient budgeting looks really like the former Lu Mingliang."

"Boss Pei is busy with work and lacks skills. It is impossible to come here to correct these people's bad habits in person. So I just sent me here. On the one hand, it gives me a chance to exercise, and on the other hand, it also allows me to correct these people's bad habits!"

"So, I should guide them more spiritually so that they can work hard to keep up with Tengda."

"Boss Pei didn't lie to me, this is really a very important job!"

Ye Zhizhou quickly went through the budget, frowning.

"But...if the budget is really increased to 500 million, there will be a new problem."

"We are just a web game. Even if we replace all the resources with high-definition versions and hire a few excellent original artists to do the concept design, I am afraid that the money will still be too much to spend..."

"Moreover, we are now using the 2D version engine of the official platform, and the support for these high-definition resources will not be very good, and the effect may not be particularly obvious at that time."

"In short...the price/performance ratio will be poor."

Lin Wan thought for a while: "Then change the engine and go directly to 3D."

Ye Zhizhou was at a loss for words for a while: "If you use 3D... then you can't do web games. The amount of art resources that need to be transmitted is too large, and the current network speed is too slow to load."

The web game mode is instant play, and all art resources are transmitted in real time.

Limited by the network speed, the resources cannot be made too large, otherwise the transmission will be very slow, and the players will go to the next scene, but the resources of this scene have not been loaded yet, wouldn't it be embarrassing.

When Lin Wan played "Blood Song", she could see "resource loading" every time she went to a new scene, because of this.

After discussion and discussion, the problem is still not resolved.

Lin Wan knew very well that a budget of only 200 million yuan would definitely not be able to meet President Pei's requirements, but limited by the web game model, adding the budget to 500 million yuan would not significantly improve the picture.

Unless you don’t want to do web games anymore, make a client game and let players download all the resources to their computers.

But this way...

Even the type of game has changed in this game, isn't it completely unrecognizable and a mess?

Wang Xiaobin coughed twice: "Hey, I think, if we must use high-definition resources to make a 3D version, we can try to make a micro-end."

"That's microclients."

"Compared to PC games, players need to download much less resources, and the computer configuration requirements are not very high; and compared to web games, the graphics can be significantly improved."

"Of course, it is also possible that the two sides will not please each other. This is a very risky matter."

　There are only two chapters today. A friend came over on the weekend, and I don’t have much time. I will also go through the outline in the past two days, and salted fish for two days.The book has been merged with the old account, and there is no need to read the old books written before. The writing is not good. If there is a shortage of books, you can skip and read "Almighty Game Designer".
