Chapter 1216: Choice
Nurtured?
Ji Yinxuan blinked her eyes, and then hurriedly "I developed this..."
For a while, Ji Yinxuan didn't know what to call this creature like "mouse" or "rabbit".
"Pikachu." Shen Xin said.
"What?"
"I mean, this Pokémon's name is Pikachu."
"Pokémon?" Ji Yinxuan was confused.
"Ahem, it's an incredible creature that lives in the Pokémon world." Shen Xin coughed twice, and suddenly felt a bit awkward.
After all, Ji Yinxuan is a game player. After Shen Xin mentioned it a little bit, she immediately understood, "So, there should be more than one Pokémon, right?"
"Of course more than that."
There are 809 known Pokémon so far. Shen Xin did not draw all of them, but only drew more than a dozen of the more common ones, such as Kodak, Wrist Power, Charmander, and Frog Flower, etc., but Even so, Ji Yinxuan was already feeling excited, and the excited light in her eyes proved her love for these Pokémon.
Xi Muhan knew how cute these Pokémon were, but due to the inconvenience of his body, he could only keep calm so as not to disturb the fetus, but he kept smiling all the time.
"Cultivation class... Since it is a cultivation class, it must be able to upgrade, right?"
"Of course, for example, Pikachu can evolve into Raichu, and Charmander can evolve into Charizard... These are all painted in the back. However, I am curious, what form of this game is best made."
"What do you mean?" Ji Yinxuan asked puzzled.
"Will it be a console game or a mobile game?" Shen Xin asked depressedly.
"How about mobile games?"
"Make Pokémon into cards of different stars according to different levels, and recharge to draw cards. There will be some cards with relatively high rarity in the game. Players must recharge if they want to draw these rare Pokémon. "Shen Xin explained.
Changing the console game into a mobile game, there have been such games on Earth, such as "Dream Simulation Warfare", where the levels of the game are pulled out and made into the main task, and then some rare cards will be put into the card draw pool.
The original painting of "Dream Simulation Warfare" is Satoshi Urushihara, and the female characters drawn are very distinctive, and the most talked about of his character design is the coloring, especially the highlight processing, which can be called gorgeous. Later, when "Dream Simulator" was released as a mobile game, Satoshi Urushihara was no longer in charge of character design, and the producer had to change the artist. This is also the most regrettable part of the mobile game "Dream Simulator".
An old game that has been silent for many years can make a lot of money with the help of mobile games. There is no reason for "Pokémon" not to make money, and the card pack is also very suitable for "Pokémon". After all, there are 809 Only Pokémon can be added for several years just by adding cards to the card drawing pool.
However, one of the reasons why many players like "Pokémon" is that they can be caught and cultivated by themselves. If you use card drawing, this kind of fun will be much less.
Moreover, as the most profitable IP on the planet, making "Pokémon" into a mobile game is a bit reckless. When the mobile game is closed, "Pokémon" will suffer a lot.
The IP of "Super Mario" is also very profitable, but its charm will only be revealed after contact. "Pokémon" relies on Pikachu and other Pokémon, and it is easy to attract players, regardless of age.
The production cycle of console games is relatively long. Similarly, if a game cannot be sold well, the production company will also be under financial pressure.
Shen Xin has confidence in "Pokémon", but Ji Yinxuan may not be the same.
"What about the mainframe? What would happen if it was made on the mainframe?" Ji Yinxuan asked.
"Since it is a training game, there must be a process of capturing. Therefore, there will be wild Pokémon in the wild. Players can level up Pokémon through battles, and they can also challenge powerful trainers... In short, it will be An rpg game with high replayability." Shen Xin said simply.
Ji Yinxuan rubbed her forehead.
It's really hard to say how to choose.
"What do you think?" Ji Yinxuan asked.
"Host game." Shen Xin didn't think about it.
"What's the reason?" Ji Yinxuan asked curiously, "Is it faster to get money from mobile games?"
"That's right, money comes in very quickly from mobile games... I think about it this way. We can take a longer-term view. We aim at overseas markets, not just at home. The advantages of mobile games are convenience and player interaction. Easier and more frequent. But stand-alone games have a complete storyline, allowing players to experience how a trainer grows up, rather than relying on krypton gold...Of course mobile phones can also do stand-alone games, but facing mobile online games, stand-alone Competitiveness is not enough.
"More importantly, it is easier to create an IP for console games."
Relying on the old game console, "Pokémon" has achieved great success, which shows that the quality of the game itself is excellent. Even if it is placed on a mobile phone, it should be able to make good profits.
However, to be honest, Shen Xin doesn't know how high "Pokémon" can reach on mobile phones, and what impact it will have on this IP.
Mobile games have advantages and disadvantages. Few mobile games can be popular in different countries, but on consoles, there are indeed some games that can be popular in multiple countries.
If we delve deeper into the reasons, it is probably because game companies have been pursuing the greatest common divisor for their own interests.
People who play mobile games are not only core players, but also some players who are usually not very keen on games. In order to maximize profits, game companies must attract more local players, even if this person is not an experienced player; Console players are different. Since they have bought a game console, it means that they already have an understanding of the game industry. Therefore, the goal of game companies is to make players who buy consoles willing to pay for games. At the same time, the production cost of a game is relatively high, relying only on players from one region, the cost borne by game companies is too high, and they are more inclined to bring in players from other regions.
The direction of game production is different for different target groups, which may be one of the reasons.
Ji Yinxuan frowned as she looked at the Pokémon on the pad.
"Only rely on our agi..." Ji Yinxuan rubbed her hands together, a little hesitant.
"If you are worried about funds, I can contribute part of it." Shen Xin said.
"That's not necessary." Ji Yinxuan shook her head, "I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief, but I didn't expect you to come up with two games worth looking forward to... mobile games... stand-alone games..."
Ji Yinxuan pondered for a long time, looked up at Shen Xin, but saw Shen Xin's expression was serious, struggled for more than half a minute, and then sighed.
"I see. Then make a stand-alone game... I hope there will be a good result. By the way, Xiaoxin, you can't just let me read Lihui, the script or the outline, no matter how bad the gameplay is, you always have to mention Shall we take a moment?" Ji Yinxuan said helplessly.
"I'll sort it out as soon as possible." Shen Xin nodded.
Thinking that there will be "Pokémon" and "Super Mario" in this world in a few years, Shen Xin also has expectations in her heart.
