Cairo Gaming System

Chapter 35
Look at the development costs of those first-line masterpieces on the planet.

"Half-Life," 1200 million.

"Final Fantasy 13" cost 6000 million.

"Crysis 3" cost 6500 million.

"The Elder Scrolls 5", the cost is 8000 million.

The cost of "Tomb Raider 9" reached 1 million.

"Final Fantasy 7", 1.45 million.

"Star Wars The Old Republic", 2 million!
"Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2", also 2 million!
And the cost of the ultimate overlord "GTA5" has reached a terrifying 2.6 million!Of course, the sales volume of "GTA5" also ruthlessly exceeded 8000 million sets!

The currency unit of the above values ​​are US dollars!
Therefore, compared with those action war games, the cost of "Transparent Bikini Beauty Paradise: Beach Volleyball", which is mainly casual, is average.

In fact, the production cost of 5000 million was within Li Ze's expectations.

After all, not to mention the usage fee of the shared super host, the licensing fee of the Micron game console alone is not a small sum of money.

But the cost of 5000 million is within control.

The sales volume of Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the field has just exceeded 100 million sets, with an average of 168 yuan per set, which means that the sales of Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the field have reached 1.68 million.

Of course, the 1.68 million cannot all belong to Li Ze.

Aside from small items such as transportation and storage loss.

The rest of the sales, first of all, must be distributed to various sales agents, ranging from the lowest 3% to the highest 10%.

Then you have to pay the CD production fee, 100 million sets of CDs is not a small amount of money!
In addition to taxes and other expenses, the current account of the field company has about 6000 million money.

There are 6000 million in the field, and the development cost is 5000 million, that is to say, there are still 1000 million working capital.

The working capital of 1000 million is not much, but for the field of small companies, it can already do a lot of things.

Besides, even if the game cost exceeds the budget, Li Ze still has a way to make money.

joke!There are so many krypton gold games on the earth, all kinds of money-making routines, Li Ze has never eaten pork, has he not seen a pig run?
……

Seeing that employees were worried about costs, Li Ze gave them a positive signal.

"Funding is not a problem. Every penny I make from the field, I can feed back to the field."

Li Ze himself does not need a deposit!
"Also, if nothing else happens, we can use the field Three Kingdoms to make another big fortune."

"A lot of money?" Tie Xiaohu asked wonderingly, "But the sales peak of "Records of the Three Kingdoms" has already passed."

Yue Na also echoed, "Three Kingdoms in the field can still sell [-] to [-] sets a week, but it should fall below five figures soon."

Li Ze smiled mysteriously, turned on his computer, and played a PPT.

The content of the PPT is Li Ze’s new money-making plan.

While playing the PPT, Li Ze said: "The PPT is my idea. We can make a package of historical generals such as Sun Wu, Wu Qi, Han Xin, Zhang Liang, Qin Qiong and Yuefei."

"Then one hundred and eight generals of the Water Margin can be made into a package of generals of the Water Margin."

"Then similar to Liang Hongyu, Hua Mulan, Fan Lihua, Mu Guiying, Qin Liangyu, etc., you can make a female general bag."

"Oh!" Tie Xiaohu shouted excitedly, "Interesting, Guan Gong fights Qin Qiong!"

Li Ze nodded, "That's right, it's Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong, and then I'll add some interesting official scripts."

"For example, the battle of women as monarchs, the chaos of all forces, the revival of Wei, Shu and Wu, and the alliance against Sima, etc."

"Finally, there will be a special avatar pack, adding avatars for popular generals such as Zhuge Zhaoyun, Cao Cao, and Zhou Yu. For example, old Zhao Yun, Zhuge offering sacrifices to heaven, Cao Cao who compose poems, Zhou Yu who set fire, etc.,"

After the PPT was played, Li Ze also said: "These things can be added together to make a DLC, 68 yuan is not too much, right?"

"Not too much! The conscience of the industry!" Everyone replied in unison.

Li Ze also felt that he was a conscientious businessman.

Compared with the enhanced version that Glorious Company needs to repurchase on Earth, the 68 yuan DLC is really conscientious!
68 pieces of DLC, it is impossible for everyone to buy it.

But according to the past market, it is not a problem to sell 68 million sets of DLC for 50 yuan. After deducting various costs, the domain can earn at least another 2000 million!
Therefore, the funding issue that programmers are worried about is no longer a problem.

……

While the programmers were working, Eric Hu, the masked man, was not idle either. He made his desk look like a haunted house, listened to opera with earphones all day long, and shook his head to create game scripts and settings.

Li Ze originally wanted to exchange a few words with Eric Hu, but seeing Eric Hu wearing headphones, he seemed to be writing happily, so Li Ze decided not to bother the great god.

Anyway, this great screenwriter has more than 200 abilities, so I, a layman, don't want to interfere.

Don't bother Eric Hu, the programmer Li Ze can't understand the programming, so what Li Ze has done most these days is to discuss the original painting and character design with Bi Muxiong and Yasuhara.

Although Li Ze can't draw, but Li Ze can appreciate it!

To be reasonable, Li Ze is a young man in his 20s, and he is the main target user group of "Tousa".

Bi Muxiong is good at realistic painting style. Most of the female characters in his works have delicate expressions and sexy figures, which don't match the current popular cute girl painting style.

But for "Tousha", the realistic painting style couldn't be better!
Because of the excellent character modeling, real characters will be more attractive and sexy.When playing games on a large-screen TV, the picture impact is absolutely invincible!
But Bi Muxiong also knows that the cute style of painting is popular now, and modern cute elements are indispensable.

And this is the field that Anyuan is good at.

There should be sexy and tall beauties, and there should also be Japanese two-dimensional cute girls with big eyes and sharp chins!
Anyway, there are many heroines in "Tousha", and there are girls of various styles, so that's the way to go.

The old and the young worked together, but they really came up with something new.

The first batch of character designs were quickly completed. On the basis of the original characters in "Transparent Bikini Beauty Paradise", seven or eight female characters were added.

The newly added female characters are mainly beautiful girls with more modern and cute styles.

These are naturally the credits of An Yuan. With the help of the master, An Yuan has also played his current highest level this time.

From the perspective of a male player, Li Ze browsed the first batch of drawings of the characters.

And under the picture of each girl, there is a short profile of more than [-] characters, which can be appreciated with the background of the characters, so that you can better understand the intentions of Bi Muxiong and Yasuhara.

After closing the draft book, Li Ze showed a satisfied smile.

I can't watch it anymore, and I can't keep up with nutrition.

Not to brag about his employees, after Li Ze finished reading it, he really thought it was pretty good.

If in the actual game, the original character design can be well expressed, it will definitely be welcomed by nerds.
