Although Lin Wan cannot describe the difference between web games and client games particularly accurately, he can generally understand the problems with this approach.
Client games and web games are two completely different game types.
Their traditional gameplay, core, and target player groups are completely different.
If anyone thinks that web games can be easily converted to PC games, they are definitely newbies who don’t know anything about games.
Transplantation can only be done from the top down, for example, client games are transplanted to web games, and web games are transplanted to mobile games.
And it also needs to be supported by the features of the game itself.
If it were the other way around, such as porting a client game from a web game, there would be too many things to change, and the difficulty would be basically the same as developing a new game from scratch.
However, Yangyang Games has decided to develop the "Enhanced Edition of Hot-Blooded War Song", and even the design draft has been finalized. This is President Pei's decision, and it must not be changed randomly.
In this way, if you want to spend so much budget, making a micro client becomes the only solution.
But as Wang Xiaobin said, there are huge risks in doing micro-clients.
For micro-clients, players need to download fewer resources than client games, and the graphics are better than web games. It seems to be a solution that offers the best of both worlds;
But looking at it from another angle, it is a solution that is unpalatable to both sides.
For end game players, its picture quality is not as good as regular client games;
For web game players, they have to download a micro-client and cannot play immediately, which is very troublesome.
It is very likely that players on both sides will not like it, and then it will be completely ruined.
Everyone turned their attention to Lin Wan again.
She still had to make the decision as the director on this matter.
Lin Wan was a little panicked.
In the past, he was at Tenda. Although he was responsible for some work, he had never made such a key decision.
You must know that making this decision will most likely directly affect everyone's work and millions of dollars in the next few months.
It’s done, of course it goes without saying;
If it fails, everyone's work will be in vain and all the money will be wasted.
This heavy burden made Lin Wan feel very stressed.
She subconsciously wanted to ask Mr. Pei for advice.
But then I thought about it and thought it wouldn’t work.
Mr. Pei sent himself here to take charge of Yangyang Games because he had high hopes for himself!
If you ask Mr. Pei for instructions on everything, wouldn't it become a sounding board? Then you will completely let down Mr. Pei's good intentions.
Lin Wan fell into deep thought.
"If it were Mr. Pei, what would he do at this time?"
"Huh, calm down. Mr. Pei often makes some unexpected decisions, but if you think about it carefully, it makes sense."
"Will President Pei cut the budget? Absolutely not."
"Then does Mr. Pei care whether players accept micro-clients? It doesn't seem like he does."
"Mr. Pei should make the choice for the players, regardless of whether the players accept it initially."
"So...it's clear what President Pei will do."
After thinking about it for a moment, Lin Wan said decisively: "We will make a micro-client. The design content will remain the same, but the art resources will be fully upgraded from 2D to 3D."
Lin Wan's expression was quite confident.
Her confidence does not come from herself, but from her accurate speculation on Mr. Pei's behavioral intentions.
This is the self-cultivation of a Tengda employee!
…
…
After the meeting.
Ye Zhizhou returned to his workstation and began to modify the budget and demand list.
Although it is a good thing to directly double the budget, for Ye Zhizhou, it is still very troublesome to change various demand tables.
Fortunately, this can be regarded as a kind of happy trouble.
While I was busy, my phone screen lit up, and I saw a message from Mr. Pei.
"How's the progress?"
Ye Zhizhou perked up, great, Mr. Pei took the initiative to ask!
Ye Zhizhou was still a little worried about Lin Wan's decision.
The two decisions of doubling the budget and changing the web game to a micro-client game were a bit too risky. Without Mr. Pei's nod, Ye Zhizhou still felt guilty.
But he couldn't report this matter to Mr. Pei, otherwise it would appear that he was making a snitch.
Now that Mr. Pei takes the initiative to ask, of course it would be best.
Ye Zhizhou hurriedly recounted the results of the meeting, which mainly focused on budget and micro-end issues.
He thought that if Mr. Pei had any questions about this matter, he would answer them himself.
Two minutes later, Mr. Pei replied.
"Very good, just follow this."
"If there are any issues that cannot be decided in the future, just listen to Director Lin."
Mr. Pei didn’t have any problems and fully agreed with Director Lin’s decision!
Ye Zhizhou couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, the design director who came from Tengda was a person with a false reputation?
In fact, during the meeting, Ye Zhizhou was still a little suspicious of Lin Wan.
After all, Lin Wan did not raise any questions about the details of the design draft and directly decided on such a big change, which made Ye Zhizhou feel rather hasty.
But now, with Mr. Pei's confirmation, all doubts have disappeared.
Is there anything wrong with what President Pei decided?
And indeed, as Director Lin said, Mr. Pei approved the 5 million budget without hesitation, and did not question even the risky decision of micro client.
It seems that Director Lin’s interpretation of Mr. Pei is indeed several levels higher than ours!
In this way, Mr. Pei, who is busy with work, should be able to rest assured about Yangyang Games, right?
…
…
Pei Qian put down his phone and was in a good mood.
Lin Wan's performance was even better than she expected!
Pei Qian was mainly worried that Lin Wan would be tied up in the Yangyang game and would not dare to do anything, and would be sidelined and become a mere commander.
In this case, if Lin Wan's frustration is not strong enough when the time comes, he may pass the blame to others and not be able to go back and inherit the family property willingly.
But now it seems that Lin Wan has done a good job in changing his role!
It actually coincided with what Pei Qian wanted.
Not only did I spend more money, but I also changed the originally solid web game into a micro-client.
In fact, Pei Qian knows about micro-clients, but he also knows that this model has never become the mainstream model for web games.
Not now and not in the future.
It is true that some web games have micro-clients, but this is just the icing on the cake, and the micro-clients of most games are controlled within 50M, and there are no larger ones.
Like the current approach of Shangyang Games, on the one hand, it will increase the computer configuration requirements for this game, and on the other hand, the downloaded client will become larger, at least two to three hundred M.
Many people who play web games on company office computers or classic machines may be directly persuaded to quit!
To put it bluntly, this game is currently unable to please both PC gamers and browser gamers. It doesn’t touch both ends, and it also costs more money. It’s perfect!
For such a web game, if five million is spent in the early stage to produce it, and another two to three million will be spent on publicity later depending on the situation, the development progress should be faster than that of "Return to the Shore".
Chapter completed!
