Cairo Gaming System

Chapter 34 Amazing Cost

Eric Hu, the masked man, nodded slowly and said, "I'm just thinking about a setting about favorability."

A beautiful girl game like "Tousa" has more or less the taste of being in love, so the favorability system is naturally necessary.

Li Ze was looking forward to it, wondering what wonderful ideas the masked man with a creative ability of 217 had.

"Then what do you think about the setting of favorability?" Li Ze asked.

The masked man replied: "I don't think we should only work on the swimsuit acquisition process. After the player gets the swimsuit he likes, how can he put it on the girls?"

"When adding swimsuits, we can pre-set a clothing hidden shame level. The more exposed and bold the shape of the swimsuit, the higher the set shame level."

"According to the personalities of beautiful girls, the degree of shame they can accept at the beginning is different. And if you want to make your favorite characters wear those novel, bold, and hot swimsuits, you must increase your favorability!"

"Favourability can be obtained through a series of interactions, but it will take several hours to maximize the favorability of a character. We will have dozens of beautiful girls, and it will take several Hundreds of hours of game time."

"At the same time, we can combine the improvement of favorability with the beach volleyball game. For example, manipulating beauties to win the game to improve favorability, or using the costumes and props rewarded by the game can also increase favorability."

Eric Hu continued to speak clearly and logically for a long time, and many novel and practical settings made even Li Ze admire.

As expected of a boss with more than 200 abilities, he can say so much dry stuff in such a little time.

This also made Li Ze feel that the high salary he offered was worth it.

Regarding the setting of the general direction of the game, everyone has already figured it out. As for filling in the details, it is a long-term work.

But at this time Tie Xiaohu raised a key question.

"Boss, which platform is our new work on? Is it PC?"

Tie Xiaohu's question speaks to everyone's aspirations, because although Romance of the Three Kingdoms has been a great success on the PC platform.

But to be honest, the PC platform market is not as big as the professional game console market. If you want to hit higher sales, you still have to rely on the game console.

Li Ze is not stupid. He used to work on the PC platform because he had no money, and the field of Romance of the Three Kingdoms was suitable for the PC platform.

Now that there is a rebirth of funds, it is natural to enter the broader console market.

So Li Ze replied: "This time I locked on the platform of Micron Game Console."

"Micro? Isn't it hardcore?"

Micron game console is a new game console, and its development momentum is very good, with a market share of more than 20%.

But another overlord console, the hardcore game console, has a 60% market share!

Objectively speaking, the performance of the micron game console is better than that of the hardcore game console, and the appearance is more fashionable and smooth, and the size is also small.

However, hardcore game consoles have been developed for several years, and there are too many fun exclusive games on this platform!

For players, the most important thing is always the game.

In terms of the number and quality of games, the hardcore game console has completely exploded the Micron game console, so even if the Micron game console appears, the hardcore game console still maintains a 60% market share and is a well-deserved overlord.

Perhaps one day, the market share of Micron game consoles will surpass that of hard-core, but for now, there is no doubt that choosing hard-core is more conducive to game sales.

Seeing everyone looking at him in surprise, Li Ze told his reason.

"There is no doubt that hardcore is the current overlord. If you choose hardcore, you will almost certainly have higher sales."

"However, gentlemen, please remember the motto of our rebirth domain."

"In the field of rebirth, we only make high-quality goods."

"The Micron game console is currently the console with the strongest performance and the best graphics on the market. In particular, the Micron game console is one or two grades higher than the hard core in terms of skin texture and sweat effect."

"For beautiful girl games like "Transparent Bikini Paradise", skin texture and sweat effects are extremely important."

"At the same time, the Micron game console is also better at expressing detailed skeletal movements, which is also very helpful for us to do professional sand volleyball."

"On the platform of Micron, I can make better games, which is why I choose Micron."

The boss explained his reason, and everyone's doubtful eyes disappeared.

If you don't consider money, but only consider the quality of the work, then there is no doubt that the micron game console is the best choice.

However, in the modern commercial society, there are fewer and fewer bosses like Li Ze who sacrifice money for the quality of games.

I'm afraid the entire industry, and only Li Ze, who doesn't start a company for money, will "treat money like dung" like this!
……

After the meeting was over, everyone started their respective preparatory work after the meeting was adjourned.

The three programmers, Tie Xiaohu, Lu Ke and Yue Na, discussed and simulated together for a while, and determined the approximate funds needed.

In the past, I used old technology in the field of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and it was a game on the PC platform, so the cost was very low.

But this new work "Tousha" needs to make the most detailed and beautiful character models, the most professional motion system, and the graphics and operations must be top-notch in the industry.

At the same time, it is still on the most expensive new generation Micron game console that tests the computing power the most.

Therefore, the preliminary calculation of the development cost of this game is frighteningly high!

Putting the report on Li Ze's desk, Yue Na said: "Boss, the investment is roughly like this. But considering that there should be some additional content during the production process, the final development cost must exceed 5000 million dollars."

Ruko also said: "Yeah, if everything requires the highest standard, 5000 million is already a very low budget."

"The computing power required for game production is amazing. Especially for ultra-large-scale users like us, the cost is very high due to step-by-step fees."

Tie Xiaohu said even more worriedly: "Boss, there is also a rumor that the usage fee for shared super hosting is about to increase!"

Burn money!

Making games can make a lot of money, but it can also burn a lot of money!
The field of Romance of the Three Kingdoms I made before is basically a game from more than ten years ago.With the current level of technology, playing games more than ten years ago is naturally easy and enjoyable without spending much money.

But it is impossible to make a next-generation masterpiece without burning money.If you want to make the best beautiful girl and the best beach volleyball, you have to burn money!

However, is the cost of 5000 million really high?

After all, "Tousha" is just a casual competitive game.

Even though the requirements for "Tousha" are very high, in fact, the cost of "Tousha" is not at the same level as the 3A-level gun car ball sandbox game of that kind of big company!
　The holidays are really busier than going to work, so I stayed up late tonight to code.
