Chapter 185 183.What?! A team of 400 people!?

At 2 a.m., Li Lanyun couldn't sleep and was extremely excited.

After much thought, he finally called Liu Guangran.

Liu Guangran was sleeping soundly and woke up by the phone. He picked up the alarm clock and looked at it. He was not angry to death.

It's only 2:24.

When I answered the phone, Liu Guangran's somewhat angry voice came from there, "Brother, do you know what time is now?"

There was a hint of helplessness in the anger.

Li Lanyun said a little apologetically, "I'm sorry, brother, I have something important to consult you..."

Damn it!

Liu Guangran was worried, but unfortunately there was no girl around him, otherwise he could have used Mr. Cao's reasons-

My girlfriend doesn't agree.

...

The next morning, Li Lanyun went to Cao Yang's office.

In other words, when Cao Yang arrived at the company at 9 o'clock, the young secretary told him that Li Lanyun had been waiting for him in the office for a long time.

I don’t know how long it will take for Zhuang Yurou to come, because Li Lanyun was here when she came.

It can be seen that Li Lanyun’s affairs are very urgent.

Cao Yang smiled and walked into the office.

Li Lanyun immediately stood up, "Mr. Cao, I thought about it all night yesterday. I am here to ask you for someone today."

"Hahahaha...Don't worry, Brother Yun, you sit down first."

Cao Yang only glanced at him and could tell from Li Lanyun's face that this guy must have not slept all night and was in an extremely excited state after all night.

As for why I was excited, it was obvious that I told him yesterday that I wanted to set up the "Shan Hai Jing" project team.

Yes, after returning last night, Li Lanyun thought about it all night.

Calling Liu Guangran and Ma Hao at 2 a.m. is driving people crazy.

Zhuang Yurou smiled with a pursed lips and poured tea for the two of them.

Cao Yang moved his butt calmly and sat in the chair to let himself in a comfortable and relaxed state.

"So, what do you mean by asking for people?"

"That's right," said Li Lanyun. "I went back yesterday to calculate the calculations. I found that if this project is effective, it can live up to Mr. Cao's expectations, so the requirements for personnel are very high."

Cao Yang's hope is to be released before March next year.

He didn't tell Li Lanyun about the specific reason, because he couldn't say it either.

I can't say that I'm copying monster hunters, but Capcom will release the first generation of monster hunters in March next year, right?

It was launched before, called the sniper hunter. After that, it may be charged with the plagiarist. Even if it is not the case, its reputation will be affected to a certain extent.

This is the so-called similar products, and whoever comes back will be embarrassed.

Cao Yang can only give Li Lanyun a death order through the boss's authority. Now that we have a game engine, the development process should be faster, so Cao Yang evaluates that we can do it completely.

Today, Li Lanyun came to find him, which was as expected by Cao Yang. Now that he wanted to complete such a arduous task, in addition to the technical level, the most important thing is people.

If there is not enough time, then there must be enough people.

There is no problem at the technical level. The existing personnel will definitely not be able to line up in the production period, so a large number of personnel will inevitably be recruited.

If Li Lanyun did not come to him today, Cao Yang would have doubted this person's business ability and judgment ability.

"Yeah," Cao Yang asked with a smile, "Tell me."

"That's right, I've counted it after I went back," Li Lanyun took out his small notebook, then walked to the whiteboard next to him, picked up the marker and wrote it on it, "First of all, we need to create a world of mountains and seas that is big enough. I'll plan it into 4 large maps of 1000x1000, and then divide it...

In each large map module, there are 20 to 30 different plants required...

10 to 20 different monsters…

The minimum number of monsters contained in an ecosystem...

Then we need to classify these monsters, DCBAS in order from low to high, and according to the food chain relationship, let's arrange it again...

The required large boss level monsters are..."

Li Lanyun listed many dense numbers on the whiteboard.

It can be seen from the pyramid structure drawn that the number of animals, plants, terrain and landforms required for this game is actually quite large.

Cao Yang felt more and more relieved when he looked at it.

This is what a producer should look like.

The so-called plan is made before action, first make clear plans, personnel allocation, resource allocation...

Only by doing enough preparatory work in the early stage can you sharpen the knife and cut the woodwork.

Of course, the most important part of this preliminary work is overall arrangement. A producer must be able to know very clearly what he wants to do and what the project should be like. Even if this thing has not been done yet, the producer has taken all the details into consideration, so that things can be done very smoothly afterwards, and there will be no excessive entanglement and delayed time and progress.

Cao Yang took the lead, and then Li Lanyun improved it himself, and he would definitely find problems during the process of sorting it out.

This is a qualified producer.

The more Cao Yang looked at all, the more excited he became, and the more he listened, the more he felt that this project could be successful.

If such a general and the perfect execution of the people below, if it can be really done, then this will definitely be a game that will stun the world.

"And in order to adapt to the monster's characteristics, we have to specially build a very unique living and activity environment for them..." Li Lanyun explained, "So the number of people that can be taken out by Guofeng Studio is definitely not enough."

"Yeah." Cao Yang nodded, expressing his full agreement, "So how many people do you think you need?"

"Well... I've calculated it," said Li Lanyun. "The planning team must have at least 20 to 30 people, and the program team must have at least 1 to 1 with the planning team. The most important thing is that the number of people in the art team is very high, and every monster needs to be modeled, so it needs to recruit a large amount of art. I called Guangran and Ma Hao yesterday. After they evaluated, it took at least 100 people to eat the art.

And this is the lowest configuration requirement.”

Li Lanyun frowned, "The main reason is that Mr. Cao, your requirements are too hurry. If we relax the time, let us develop it for two or three years, and the number of people can be cut by half."

"Yes." Cao Yang nodded and said nothing.

He was thinking quietly.

Li Lanyun talked about very realistic problems.

This thing is not something that can be done by a small workshop, so 3A games have such a high threshold.

But this is not a problem for Bomi.

On the contrary, Cao Yang was very happy.

It is precisely because of the high development cost that small factories generally dare not try, which highlights the value of their own existence.

From then on, Bomi will push the cost of game production to a new level, which is the barrier effect.

It will isolate most of its competitors.

"No problem," Cao Yang said with a smile, "I'll double the number of people you need."

"Ha?!" Li Lanyun's pupils suddenly dilated.

...

"What? 400 people?!"

"Are you crazy? Is the boss crazy?"

In the afternoon, Cao Yang held the largest company-wide mobilization meeting in history, and at which he announced the establishment of the "Shan Hai Jing".

And the estimated number of personnel is given.

Everyone was shocked and could not believe that this was something Bomi Company could do.

A development team of 400 people is almost as good as several other teams.

Teams like Honor of Kings may only require less than 40 people to operate. If you remove the operation, it is estimated that about 30 people will be enough.

Now the boss actually wants to bring a team of 400 people out to make a stand-alone game.

How is this a game?

Is this a war?

Damn... During the Warring States Period of the island country back then, fighting a group fight would not take so many people.

Cao Yang said very calmly, "This number is the result of our discussion with Li Lanyunyun. It sounds like a lot of people, but in fact it may not be really saturated when it is done. We will definitely encounter many obstacles during the project production process, and may also produce a lot of waste products, such as 3D models. If they are not suitable in the end, they have to be thrown away.

We have calculated and carefully studied this number of people."

Cao Yang looked at the employees below and smiled calmly, "Our country started late in stand-alone games, and the investment was not very high. We have always wanted to go to the world, but there are no high-quality world-class products.

And now, we, yes, we, Bomi and you, have the confidence that we are fully capable of developing such a product, whether technically, experience or financially.

So this is also the dream and persistence of the Bomi people. We need to make such a product.
