At Shang Yang Games …
Ye Zhizhou waited anxiously for a long time. Finally, he received Boss Pei's reply.
However, when he saw Boss Pei's reply, he was stunned.
"Brother Wang, come 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 desk.
"Brother Wang, Boss Pei has given us the proposal for the new game. He … chose my proposal. "
Ye Zhizhou pointed at the document on the screen: Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version.
Wang Xiaobin's mouth opened slightly in shock. "You came up with this name?"
Ye Zhizhou, "… No, Boss Pei changed it. I originally wanted to call it Bloody Battle Song 2. "
"Tss …"
Wang Xiaobin sucked in a cold breath.
This name really exuded a strong sense of imitation!
Boss Pei actually gave the game such a name? This …
It was hard to understand!
"Did Boss Pei change the other parts of the design?" Wang Xiaobin asked again.
Ye Zhizhou looked a little embarrassed. "I checked carefully. He didn't change a single word. He only changed the name …"
Wang Xiaobin, "…"
He could not help but feel a little emotional.
Wang Xiaobin knew very well that Ye Zhizhou wanted to make a sequel to Bloody Battle Song mainly because he was indignant.
Ye Zhizhou had created the 'Chosen One' system for Bloody Battle Song and completely changed the game's profit model according to Boss Pei's instructions. Ye Zhizhou was very proud of this.
Now, Bloody Battle Song's activity and various statistics were maintained quite well. Many old players returned, and its reputation had completely changed.
However, the only problem was that the game was not profitable!
Ye Zhizhou was actually quite concerned about this.
To him, a game that was not profitable was still a failure, no matter how good its reputation was.
On further thought, why was it not profitable?
The main reason was that Bloody Battle Song's graphics were terrible. It was completely behind the times. What's more, Shang Yang Games did not have enough funds to advertise the game. That was why there were no new players.
Now that they had cut out all the purchase options, the pitiful old players could not support the game's income.
Thus, Ye Zhizhou was indignant. He hoped that more players could play the 'Chosen One' system. Through the development of a sequel, he hoped that the game could turn its losses into profits.
However, Wang Xiaobin did not agree.
In the past, he made games with paywalls because he was forced to do so.
Now that they had been acquired by Tengda, they would be able to cozy up to Boss Pei. Who would want to eat sh * t?
Bloody Battle Song was not some impressive IP. It was just a third-rate, trashy game with paywalls. Was there a need to hold on to it so tightly?
Thus, Wang Xiaobin wrote a design manuscript for a standalone game and handed it in. He hoped that Boss Pei would choose this design manuscript. That way, he would be able to fulfill his long-cherished wish of many years — to develop a truly high-quality standalone game.
Wang Xiaobin was very confident about this design manuscript.
That was because he had the most experience out of everyone in Shang Yang Games. The design of standalone games should be the most suitable for Boss Pei's taste.
In Wang Xiaobin's heart, Boss Pei should be a genius designer who took it upon himself to save the game industry. He should be a noble person, someone who had broken away from vulgar tastes, and someone who was not greedy for money.
Otherwise, why would he cut off most of Bloody Battle Song's pay-to-view points?
However, Boss Pei had made his choice now.
He chose Ye Zhizhou's plan and not his.
Not only that, but Boss Pei did not change a single word in Ye Zhizhou's plan. He only changed its name.
Wang Xiaobin was confused, confused, and even a little disappointed.
"Oh, that's right, Brother Wang.
"Boss Pei said that your plan is not bad, but it's too conservative. You can make some changes during the research and development period. You might have a chance to use it in the future. "
Ye Zhizhou relayed Boss Pei's words honestly.
Wang Xiaobin could not help but perk up.
Oh! So that's why!
Boss Pei still approves of my plan. However, my method is too conservative. It's not good enough for a standalone game!
Wang Xiaobin was immediately filled with motivation.
Now, he roughly understood why Boss Pei chose Ye Zhizhou's plan and not his.
Ye Zhizhou's plan could be said to be rather novel among all the games with paywalls.
On the other hand, Wang Xiaobin's plan seemed very ordinary among the standalone games.
The two games were in different frames of reference. Ye Zhizhou's plan was more innovative. Naturally, it would be easier for Boss Pei to favor it.
"Boss Pei said that this design is too conservative.
"That's right. That's the situation.
"Out of consideration for safety reasons, I used some very mature designs. Now, it looks a little outdated.
"The world is changing rapidly. Now, it can barely keep up with the times. However, after a few months of research and development, it would already be outdated.
"Boss Pei is right. I was too conservative.
"Boss Pei lives up to his name indeed. He could see the crux of the problem with one look!
"It looks like I have to continue working hard."
Wang Xiaobin's emotions immediately dissipated.
Since that was the case, he would cooperate fully with Ye Zhizhou to produce Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version first. Then, he would create a standalone game that he liked.
In the next three to four months, he could continue to think and make major changes to his current plan. He would strive to satisfy Boss Pei!
Ye Zhizhou flipped through the design manuscript again.
Indeed, Boss Pei had not changed a single word!
"Brother Wang, what should we do? Are we going to follow this plan?"
Ye Zhizhou felt a little guilty.
Wang Xiaobin's blind faith in Boss Pei was at its peak. He immediately nodded. "Of course. Boss Pei has already made his decision. What's there to hesitate about? Let's do it this way!
"What's more, there's another benefit. We can shorten the research and development time.
"We're going to produce Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version. Ai, this name is so awkward. Actually, we can take it as a high-definition remake.
"We don't have to make any major changes to the game's functions and gameplay. At most, we just have to spend some effort to optimize the various functions.
"That way, we can use all the energy we save to invest in art resources.
"Didn't you keep saying that Bloody Battle Song has been reborn? All it lacks is a good appearance, right? We can take this opportunity to change it!
"I think that's what Boss Pei wants."
Ye Zhizhou nodded. "En, that's right. I'll sort out the design manuscript and prepare the art resources! "
After finalizing the design proposal, the first thing they did was to prepare the art resources.
Shang Yang Games was currently incurring losses. All the money had been handed over to Tengda. Even so, it could not cover the daily expenses of rent and salaries. Tengda had to fork out money to make up for the losses.
This time, they would need a huge sum of money to produce a new game. They could only report this to Boss Pei.
"I'm a little worried. I want two million yuan. I don't know if Boss Pei will approve it." Ye Zhizhou felt a little uneasy.
Wang Xiaobin remained silent for a moment. "Let's give it a try. I think Boss Pei will be willing to spend money on the quality of the game. If it doesn't work, we'll cut the budget. "
