In the past, when he was making games, the most common thing he heard was that the budget was too high and investment needed to be controlled.
But I have never seen any boss take the initiative to increase the budget!
Logically speaking, this is a good thing. Being willing to increase the budget shows that the boss believes in his ability.
but……
After looking at his plan, Gu Sheng felt a little worried——
Where should I start to increase my budget?
You know, the only fee you need to pay for this "Cat Leo" is the genuine usage fee of the Flash game development platform!
"As for the character modeling and UI design, I... drew them all myself."
Gu Sheng said a little guilty.
As he said this, he also secretly glanced at Shen Miaomiao.
After all, such a game design process does sound too sloppy.
really!
Shen Miaomiao frowned after hearing Gu Sheng's words: "Did you draw them all yourself?"
"Uh, yes." Gu Sheng grinned and nodded.
"Didn't you spend a penny?" Shen Miaomiao asked.
"Uh, um." Gu Sheng continued to nod.
Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao slapped the sofa with a bang, which startled Gu Sheng:
"How can that be done!"
After saying that, Shen Miaomiao stood up and spoke righteously:
"Our Golden Wind Game Company! is a formal and professional game company!"
"And you! Director Gu! You are the soul of our company! You are the commander! You are the superstructure!"
"How can you do everything yourself? Is it worth the trouble and effort?!"
ah……?
Shen Miaomiao's impassioned speech made Gu Sheng a little confused:
"...But I finished the painting in ten minutes."
"That's not OK!"
Damn it, how can I increase my budget if you have it all covered?
How can I lose money if I don’t increase my budget!
How can I make money without losing money!
"Outsourcing! Must be outsourced!"
Shen Miaomiao waved her little hand:
"I checked yesterday and found that the production of a game requires a lot of personnel and financial support, such as art, levels, programs, etc., which can easily cost tens or even millions!"
"Just make arrangements! Don't worry about money!"
"Our purpose in making games is - not to be the best! But to be the most expensive!"
Gu Sheng:......
But I just want to get a cat Leo!
A Flash game!
Obviously my art level is completely sufficient!
Why still need to find an outsourcing team?
Too much money to burn?!
"Boss, that's it,"
Gu Sheng really couldn't bear to trick a fool into spending money:
"The soul and essence of this game actually lies in its abstract and sloppy painting style. If the art design was outsourced, it might not be possible to achieve this effect."
Stop it! Little Nezha! Even if you have money, you can't make it like this!
But who would have expected that little Nezha waved his hand as if he was determined to lose his fortune:
“Hey——Director Gu’s words are wrong!”
"Change your thinking. Can't we let the outsourced art perform a one-to-one reproduction according to your template?"
One sentence! Gu Shengqian was immediately silenced!
Do you know what you are talking about?
Gu Sheng felt that his CPU was about to burn out:
"Then may I ask...what is the meaning?"
As if he had expected this question from Gu Sheng, Shen Miaomiao smiled slightly as she saw that she was not in a hurry.
He hugged Gu Sheng, who had a confused expression on his face, and patted his shoulder:
"You don't understand this, do you know about the brand effect?"
"Would you like to hear the details?" Gu Sheng bent down slightly and looked at Shen Miaomiao.
Little Nezha is a head shorter than him, so in order to cooperate with the boss's pretense, Gu Sheng needs to be a little condescending.
"We are a newly established company with little reputation,"
Shen Miaomiao raised her eyebrows at Gu Sheng and followed the instructions:
"So, in order to make a name for ourselves, we have to gain more fame from well-known people in the industry. Only in this way can we get the first shot!"
"Wow--"
Gu Sheng pretended to sigh, his attitude was ambiguous.
Obviously, I still feel that what Xiao Nezha did is very unfair.
However, the boss said so, and he couldn't refute it.
It’s not his money anyway, so just make it.
"Oh well,"
Gu Sheng sighed secretly and shrugged:
"Then I will waste money... No, I will increase the cost?"
"Throw! Throw hard!"
Shen Miaomiao smiled happily and looked like "I am optimistic about you":
"Just play the game 'well'! You don't have to save money for me!"
…
That afternoon, Gu Sheng took Little Nezha's concept of injustice as his guiding ideology.
Under the premise of ensuring that the original gameplay remains unchanged, I took off my pants and farted as much as possible.
In this parallel world, there is a website called "Game Factory".
This is a gathering place for game production practitioners, covering creative planning, art design, UI production, modeling and rendering, engine provision, etc.
When Gu Sheng entered the website, he directly used the method of "sorting quotations from high to low" and began to contact top practitioners in various sectors including art, UI, and programming, and asked them to subcontract the production of this seemingly inferior and abstract game.
But you must know that those powerful practitioners cannot take on all jobs.
Especially a simple and crude game like "Cat Leo".
Many well-known practitioners rejected it at first glance. The reason is that it is too cheap to do this thing, and they will not accept no matter how much they are offered.
Therefore, Gu Sheng could only continue to be backward compatible.
finally!
After a whole afternoon of searching for communication!
Gu Shengcai reluctantly made this 'gold-plated' cat Leo with a total cost of 10,000 yuan, and it is scheduled to be released tonight.
Being a prodigal also requires ability, and he really tried his best.
After hearing Gu Sheng's report, although Shen Miaomiao was still not satisfied, she could only nod her head and reluctantly accepted it.
Ten thousand, just ten thousand.
Ten times that would be one hundred thousand, which is better than two hundred yuan.
Ready to take off!
Shen Miaomiao felt secretly happy in her heart.
I am really smart about pigs (that’s right), and I am bound to such a smart person as Gu Sheng.
Now, I need to think about how to comfort Director Gu.
After all, if Director Gu gets up tomorrow morning and sees Ling Dan’s results, he will definitely feel uncomfortable.
"Hmm... How should I comfort my Mr. Wolong? It's really nerve-wracking..."
…
Eight o'clock in the evening!
Shark live room game area!
"Thank you for the gift from Jie Houer Bu Mao. Thank you..."
"Thank you biabiabia for sending me 99 cards, thank you boss..."
A Yin, who had just finished today's game promotion session, twisted his neck and thanked the bosses who bought gifts:
"If you are interested, you can click on the icon in the lower left corner of the screen to enter the game. The dragon-slaying sword will be given to you by clicking on it. I will wait for you in Sand City."
In the live broadcast room, a barrage of cheers floated by——
‘It’s fun, I’ve already paid 100,000’
‘Awesome, I’ve sold my house for krypton gold’
‘Personally tested, it can also be used on sensitive skin’
‘Crying at the wrong grave, buddy (dog head)’
'Outrageous hahahahahaha...'
'I just finished taking a shower, is the meal session over?'
‘Wuhu! The mentally retarded game review is coming!’
'The boss changes the disc!'
'The main film begins...'
As the head anchor of the game area, A Yin has many fans.
Audiences who often watch A Yin's live broadcasts know that eight o'clock every night is the happiest moment in the live broadcast room.
Because during this time period, Ayin will randomly select the most retarded games on the game platform for play evaluation.
Each game is tested for twenty minutes, and the audience decides whether to "stay" or "carry away."
Seeing the shouts and small gifts filling the screen, A Yin nodded:
"Come! Let's see how many lucky ones will be carried away today!"
Talking!
Ayin opened Yiyou Platform, an independent game publishing platform, known as a small valve in China.
After some checking!
Ayin targeted the three terms of "small size", "stand-alone" and "price 1-10 yuan".
Bear the brunt!
A game that had just been released came into view——
