Ye Zhizhou waited for a long time with anxiety in his heart, and finally received Mr. Pei's reply.
However, when he saw the content of Mr. Pei's reply, he was confused.
"Brother Wang, come quickly and take a look!"
Wang Xiaobin had nothing to do now. When he heard Ye Zhizhou's call, he immediately stopped what he was doing and came to his work station.
"Brother Wang, Mr. Pei has given us the plan for the new game. He... chose my plan."
Ye Zhizhou pointed to the document on the screen: "The Powerful Enhanced Version of Hot-Blooded War Song".
Wang Xiaobin opened his mouth slightly, a little surprised: "Did you come up with this name?"
Ye Zhizhou: "...No, Mr. Pei changed it. I originally wanted to call it "Blooded War Song 2"."
"hiss……"
Wang Xiaobin took a breath of cold air.
This name really gives off a strong copycat vibe!
Mr. Pei would actually give the game such a name? This...
Hard to understand!
"Has Mr. Pei changed the design elsewhere?" Wang Xiaobin asked again.
Ye Zhizhou was a little embarrassed: "I checked carefully and didn't change a word, just the name..."
Wang Xiaobin: "..."
He couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Wang Xiaobin knew very well that the main reason why Ye Zhizhou wanted to make a sequel to "War Hymn" was because he was unwilling to do so.
Ye Zhizhou created the Tianxuan system for "War Song" and completely transformed the profit model of this gold-based game according to Mr. Pei's requirements. Ye Zhizhou is very proud of this.
Now, the activity level and various statistics of "Hot Blooded War Song" have been maintained well, many old players have returned, and the reputation has been completely reversed.
But the only problem is that this game doesn’t make money!
Ye Zhizhou actually cares about this point.
In his opinion, a game that does not make money will still fail no matter how good the reputation is.
Think about it carefully, why not make money?
The main reason is that the graphics of the game "Hot Blooded War Song" are so bad that it has completely lagged behind the times, and Yangyang Games does not have enough funds to promote it, so there is no inflow of new players.
With all the payment points cut off, the poor old players simply cannot support the game's income.
Therefore, Ye Zhizhou is unwilling to give in. He hopes that the brand-new mode of "Selected System" can be played by more players, and through the development of a sequel, the game can turn a profit.
But Wang Xiaobin actually disagrees.
In the past, doing krypton gold games was forced by life.
Now that they have been acquired by Tenda, and they have embraced Mr. Pei, who will eat shit when they have food to eat?
"War Hymn" is not a great IP, it is just a third-rate rubbish gold-earning game. Are you holding on to it so much?
Therefore, Wang Xiaobin wrote a design draft for a stand-alone game and submitted it, hoping that Mr. Pei would select this design draft so that he could fulfill his long-cherished wish for many years - to develop a truly high-quality stand-alone game.
Wang Xiaobin was originally very confident about this design draft.
Because he has the richest experience among all the people at Yangyang Games, and the design of stand-alone games should be the most in line with Mr. Pei’s taste.
In Wang Xiaobin's mind, Mr. Pei should be a talented designer whose mission is to save the game industry. He should be a noble person, a person who has escaped from vulgar taste, and a person who is not greedy for money.
Otherwise, how could it be possible to cut off most of the charging points in "Hymn of War"?
But now, Mr. Pei's choice has been made.
I chose Ye Zhizhou's plan instead of his.
Not only that, Mr. Pei didn't change a word of Ye Zhizhou's plan, but only changed the name.
This made Wang Xiaobin feel a little confused, confused, and a little lost.
"Oh, by the way, Brother Wang."
"Mr. Pei said that your plan is good, but too conservative. If you change it during the research and development period, it may still be useful in the future."
Ye Zhizhou truthfully told Pei Qian what he said.
Wang Xiaobin couldn't help but feel refreshed.
Oh! That’s it!
It turns out that Mr. Pei still approved of my plan, but my approach was too conservative and not good enough for a stand-alone game!
Wang Xiaobin was instantly full of motivation again.
Now he probably understands why Mr. Pei chose Ye Zhizhou's plan instead of his.
Ye Zhizhou's plan can be said to be quite novel among all the krypton gold games;
However, Wang Xiaobin's plan seems very mediocre among many stand-alone games.
The two games are in different reference systems, and Ye Zhizhou's plan is more innovative, so it is naturally easier to win President Pei's favor.
"Mr. Pei said this design is too conservative."
"That's right, that's the situation."
"Out of caution, I adopted some very mature designs, but now it seems that they are actually somewhat outdated."
"The environment is changing rapidly. Now we can barely keep up with the times, but after a few months of game development, we are already out of date."
"Mr. Pei is right, I am too conservative."
"As expected of Mr. Pei, he saw the crux of the problem at a glance!"
"It seems I have to keep working hard."
Wang Xiaobin's little mood disappeared instantly.
In this case, then let's cooperate fully with Ye Zhizhou to make "Hot-Blooded War Song Power Enhanced Edition", and then make the next stand-alone game you like.
In the past three or four months, I have continued to explore some ideas and made major changes to the current plan, hoping to satisfy Mr. Pei by then!
Ye Zhizhou looked over the design draft again.
Indeed, Mr. Pei has not changed a word!
"Brother Wang, what should we do? Should we just do this?"
Ye Zhizhou felt a little guilty.
Wang Xiaobin's blind faith in Mr. Pei was at its peak at this time, and he immediately nodded: "Of course, Mr. Pei has made the decision, why should there be any hesitation? Just do this!"
"And this also has the advantage that the development time can be greatly shortened."
"What we are going to do is the "Powerful Enhanced Version of the Bloody War Song". The name is really awkward. In fact, it can be regarded as a high-definition reset version."
"In terms of game functions and gameplay, there is actually no need to make major changes. At most, we need to spend a little effort to optimize various functions."
"In this way, all the energy we save can be used to invest in art resources."
"Didn't you always say before that the current "War Hymn" has been completely transformed, and all it needs is a good skin? Just take this opportunity to replace it!"
"I think this is what Mr. Pei means."
Ye Zhizhou nodded: "Yes, that's right. I will sort out the design draft and prepare an art resource list!"
After finalizing the design plan, the first thing to do is to prepare an art resource plan.
Yangyang Games is currently in a state of continuous loss, and all the money has been handed over, but even so it is unable to maintain daily rent and salary expenses, and Tenda needs to spend money to fill the hole.
Making a new game this time will require a large amount of money. For this money, we can only report it to Mr. Pei.
"I'm a little worried. I want two million, but I don't know if President Pei will approve it." Ye Zhizhou felt a little uneasy.
Wang Xiaobin was silent for a moment: "Let's try it. In terms of game quality, Mr. Pei should be willing to spend money. If it doesn't work, let's cut the budget."
