My quadratic is absolutely abnormal

: The new game “Pokémon”

“This is a game project I want. Panda Games Company can’t keep relying on its laurels. We haven’t released a game for almost a year. If there is no problem this time, let’s make this game project in my hand.”

Su Jie took out a manuscript, which was filled with the design and general gameplay of the new game, and handed it to Asuna.

“I finally remembered what I should do as the chief designer.” Asuna complained about Su Jie’s incompetent behavior.

Brunei Publishing House, who has been busy for so long, drew “One Piece” for Brunei Publishing House, and helped Firefly Animation film “Your Name”. .

Seeing Su Jie’s embarrassing smile, Asuna turned her attention to the game plan in her hand, and looked through it very seriously.

“The name of the game is “Pokémon”. It’s a role-playing game!”

Seeing the name of the game, Asuna read it out in a low voice. Just by looking at the name, there is a style that children and teenagers are quite fond of.

“Yes, this game focuses on the young people and children’s market. The game channel is mainly on the handheld. The core of the game is the three elements of fighting, collecting, and exchanging. It is expected that after the release, the benefits it can bring to the company may increase. That’s the total value of the ten panda game companies.”

Su Jie chuckled. For the game he is about to make, Su Jie has infinite confidence.

“The value of ten panda game companies?” Asuna was taken aback for a moment, but didn’t continue to read, and stared at Su Jie in surprise.

The panda game is now a dayThis well-known game production company, its games BNB, Plants vs. Zombies, and Fleet Collection are all extremely popular, with a market value of at least two to three billion US dollars.

“You should read it first. I’m talking about it.” Su Jie didn’t answer this question, because before the sales and influence came out, it would be hard for people to believe such a statement.

That’s right, the game that Su Jie wants to make is the masterpiece of Japanese games, and it can also be said to be one of the pinnacle of Japanese games, “Pokémon”.

If you feel unfamiliar, it also has more familiar aliases such as “Pokemon”, “Pokemon”, and “Pokemon”. The familiar Pikachu comes from this game.

This was once the most popular game series in Japan. The Pokémon series has undoubtedly left its own mark in popular culture, and the Pokémon that appeared in the Pokémon series have also become symbols of popular culture.

In terms of influence, there are two different Pikachu balloons at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, ANA’s Pokemon Jet, thousands of derivative products, the Pokemon Parks in Nagoya and Taipei, and so on.

The comics, animations, and fan works developed from this game have become part of Japanese culture and have influenced a whole generation of young people.

The game is very popular in Chinese-speaking regions, with a total of 250 million copies sold around the world, making it one of the best-selling games in game history.

In 2008, Guinness World Records awarded eight records to the Pokémon series of games, including “the most successful RPG series ever” and “the game series with the most derivative movies”. Selected as one of the most coveted game series, in the hottest era of the game, eight out of ten handhelds were equipped with “Pokémon”, sweeping and crushing all handheld games of the same era.

Not to mention games, even the animation adaptation of “Pokémon” of the same name has become the longest-running animation program on TV Tokyo. In the Asian circle, people are all overwhelmed, and few people say they don’t know each other at all.

It can be said that if any game can best represent Japan, it is undoubtedly this “Pokémon”.

“How did you come up with this game setting? There are not many game companies on the market that focus on handheld devices. Many of them are developed by game teams invested by the handheld manufacturers themselves. Looking at the game settings, this “Elf Treasure Pokémon is quite interesting, wait a minute, this player can go to the street to catch Pokémon, and open up a bridge between reality and virtuality, this gameplay is technically difficult to achieve.” Asuna looked at it, and suddenly looked He raised his head in doubt, and pointed to a part of the game plan to ask Su Jie for confirmation.

“Well, it’s really difficult to do at the moment. This is the follow-up version of “Pokémon” that I plan to develop after transplanting from the handheld to the mobile phone. It is prepared for mobile phone players. At that time, we can acquire several mobile phone development companies. , virtual reality augmented technology companies, after the merger, conduct special research and development, and then launch a few satellites into the sky to provide positioning and services for our games, and it should be possible by then.” Su Jie had already had a plan in mind, After listening to Asuna’s words, she answered quickly.

In the previous life, it was Nintendo that developed this game, but this company did not exist in this world. Naturally, “Pokémon” did not appear in this world either.

The technical problem that Asuna questioned was also broken by Nintendo and Google in Su Jie’s previous life. Based on this technology, the new version of “Pokémon GO” has more than one month’s sales on major mobile platforms. With 150 million downloads, it is the shortest mobile game in the world to earn 100 million US dollars after the public beta (20 days), and has won many honors such as the most popular mobile game of the year.

It is technically difficult, but it is not impossible. After careful consideration, Su Jie decided to start making this super masterpiece in his previous life, digging out this golden mountain that can be enjoyed for a lifetime.

This is the highlight of Su Jie’s preparation for Panda Game Company. If the previous games such as Plants vs. Zombies and Fleet Collection are the hen that lays golden eggs, then “Pokémon” can be called a golden mountain, and it can still be dug. The kind that can’t be dug out for decades.

“Acquiring technology companies? Launching satellites? Su Jun, have you gone out to take your medicine today?” Asuna was a little dazed, and blurted out a series of questions.

Even Asuna, who had great confidence in Su Jie, was now shocked by Su Jie’s bold ideas.

Who has ever seen a game that needs to acquire several technology companies and launch satellites into the sky to serve players? Is it called a game satellite?

You launch a commercial satellite into the sky, and the cost is at least 100 million U.S. dollars. You should be a monkey! You can shoot as you want, not to mention the money, you still need the approval of the state and the authorization of the international space organization. Panda Games is really just a game developer! Engaging in satellites is TM?

Asuna’s brows stood on end, and she felt the urge to swear. It’s fine if she doesn’t come to Panda Games on weekdays, but she makes such a big move when she comes here. Could it be that “Your Name” has made too much money recently, so she went to Panda Games Company Burning money to play?

“Ahem, I’m in good health now. This game is definitely worth it. After all, handhelds are not the mainstream in the world, and mobile phones are a must for everyone. We transplanted “Pokémon” to mobile phones. The game The player base will be greatly expanded, and the benefits brought will also beExplosive, it doesn’t matter to me to pay a little money for this early stage. ”

“Oh, your price is not so high. I don’t think six or seven billion dollars is enough for you to burn.” Asuna was still puzzled, thinking that the price was too high.

“I’m talking about this at that time, first make the version for the handheld platform, and when you see the results, you will support me in porting the game to the mobile phone.”

Su Jie patiently explained to Asuna, finally calming Asuna temporarily.

Asuna was thinking, fortunately, she didn’t develop the mobile version now, and she still had time to persuade the hot-headed Su Jie.

…

Half an hour later, Asuna had already read the “Pokémon” game plan from beginning to end. After closing the file, Asuna’s starry eyes were bright and energetic, and she showed a slight smile.

“The game plan is very well written. The gameplay of conquering, training, fighting with other players, exchanging Pokémon, etc. is very novel. It is worthy of being a familiar designer of our panda. I think this game will definitely be successful on the handheld. Don’t talk about mobile phones, let’s make the game well first, don’t be so ambitious, and don’t always mention to me that “Pokémon” is worth ten panda game companies, which makes me panic now, fearing that it will fail My family can’t afford it.” Smiling, Asuna tapped the pen on the table and made a joke with Su Jie.

These words also represented Asuna’s approval of “Pokémon”, but she didn’t believe the value of the game that Su Jie boasted about. She thought it would be a success if she could earn hundreds of millions of dollars.

Now Panda Games is carrying the banner of BNB, Plants vs. Zombies, and Fleet Collection. In addition to the sales of various copyrights and peripherals, the annual net profit for Panda Games is only about 500 million U.S. dollars. , This is because “Fleet Collection” is relatively powerful. The two main casual puzzle games, BNB and Plants vs. Zombies, are now gradually declining in annual revenue. The annual profit is less than 100 million US dollars, and they are starting to become weak. .

That’s right, apart from Su Jie, who would have thought that a game would create such a great value and have such a wide influence?

Comparing the most well-known Panda game “Fleet Collection”, it is not at the same level as “Pokémon”, whether it is profitability or variety of gameplay.

Even before Su Jie crossed over, the glory of the king, which was once popular in China, was far inferior to “Pokémon” at its peak in terms of popularity, and its ability to attract money was far inferior. This is the most profitable game in history , the game sales rank first in history.

The entire “Pokémon” series has created more than 69.1 billion US dollars in revenue for game companies in the past 20 years, far exceeding the second place “Super Mario”, but only 10 billion of the more than 60 billion are game-related , and the rest are earned by selling licenses and selling peripherals.

“After the game is produced, it should be very suitable for our company’s player audience. Our previous BNB, Plants vs. Zombies, and Fleet Collection can all be classified as casual puzzle games. “Pokémon” is similar, and the gameplay It is richer, relying on our current game fans, I think it will attract a lot of people after the news is released.”

While commenting, Asuna finally made a decision: “Panda Company will mobilize all the manpower. It should not be difficult to make this game in the handheld version. With the strength of our company and going all out, it will take half a year. That’s about it.”

Asuna has a talent for judging good and bad games, and her understanding is deeper than many designers who have been in the industry for decades. The moment she saw “Pokémon”, she decided to spend money on making it with Su Jie. This kind of courage is not available to ordinary people. Of course, Asuna still refuses Su Jie’s idea of ​​spending 500 to 600 million U.S. dollars to launch a satellite.

“It’s the same as I calculated. The production time of half a year is almost the same. This game is now mainly played on handhelds. When the time comes, you and I will come forward together from the major console manufacturers. Let’s talk about the cooperation first. Don’t bind any handheld Given the exclusive agency rights, this game will inevitably become popular all over the country, and cooperation with more manufacturers is the best way to maximize profits.

In addition, regarding the sharing, the various copyrights and peripherals of the game should be clearly written into the contract and belong to us. If the game becomes popular in the future, those console platforms who are jealous will argue with us. We can take it easy on the sharing, 37 points or 28 points. Discuss between points, the quality of the game is good, and you don’t have to worry about having no platform agent. ”

Because of his emphasis on “Pokémon”, Su Jie knows better than anyone how much profit this game will generate in the future. He, who usually doesn’t care about the operation of Panda Games, couldn’t help reminding Asuna first. Two sentences.

“It seems that you really value this game! It’s a treasure in your hands.” Asuna gave Su Jie a white look, and said, “Okay, I will write down what you said, our panda game is not unknown in the industry.” Junior, although this split is very difficult, it shouldn’t be a big problem to negotiate it if you work hard, anyway, those handheld platforms don’t know what the future revenue of the game will be.”

Asuna answered very happily. Although she didn’t know why Su Jie valued this game so much, did she really think that she could create wealth worth more than the market value of ten panda game companies?

But since Su Jie said so, Asuna will not object, and will only seriously negotiate with those handheld platforms.

With the current strength and status of Panda Game Company, the relationship between developers and game agency platforms is reversed. Panda Game Company relies on previous works to buildThe established prestige will make the handheld manufacturer regress. On the contrary, if Panda Games is an ordinary game developer, it will only be exploited by the handheld platform manufacturer. The strength of the two parties and how to divide the interests are determined by strength.

This is also one of the reasons why Su Jie only came up with “Pokémon” now, because now that the Panda Game Company has strength, it is no longer a target to be slaughtered by others, and can use a stronger posture to obtain benefits.

You must know that this is “Pokémon”, and the future income will be tens of billions of dollars. It is difficult to accept a loss of 10%. 10% of the profit from Kemeng is enough to build a larger Jingxue Nai Paradise. If it is given to others for nothing, Su Jie will be so heartbroken that he can’t breathe.

Su Jie focused on talking about the game plan with Asuna again. He stayed in the office for two hours and explained the game plan to Asuna thoroughly.

“Let’s eat first. Later, I will call someone to a meeting and announce the production plan of “Pokémon.”

After entering the work state, Asuna was extremely focused. After ordering takeaway with her mobile phone, she continued to write in the office, preparing for the future operation of “Pokémon”.

When Su Jie saw this, he didn’t want to go out to eat by himself, so he also ate takeaway together by the way.
