Chapter 56 Mobile Game Planning
Saying Guo Feng away, Chen Mo buried his head in the studio again.
At present, Chen Mo has not moved a word in the game's design document, but he is not worried. The rules of card mobile games are relatively simple, that is, the combat system and values, and the level configuration is relatively troublesome, so there is no need to worry.
Now Chen Mo has to do the scripts and storyboards of the anime first.
Only after using anime to hype the IP "My Name is MT" can mobile games make money, so the release of anime must be much earlier than the game is launched. After all, it will take a certain amount of time to ferment anime when it becomes popular.
The game development period is a total of four months, and Chen Mo planned it roughly in this way.
In the first week, all the character settings, scene concept pictures, scripts, storyboards, etc. of the first season of the anime "My Name is MT" were given, and anime production was arranged.
The time for animation production is about one episode a week, each episode ten minutes.
Considering that each episode of the anime is shorter, about twice as short as the average new anime series, Chen Mo was worried that the early popularity was insufficient, so he considered the first three episodes to be released together, which would happen to be released in a month.
In the future, it will be one episode a week, and the entire first season will be completed for exactly three months. As for whether to continue seamlessly connecting to the second season, it will be determined by the development plan.
During the animation production period, the game production was also carried out at the same time, but this time was relatively abundant, and the main work was to adjust various values.
The original card paintings and various art resources should be solved smoothly if nothing unexpected happens.
Chen Mo's goal is to try to make the game in about three months, leaving enough testing and tuning time.
In short, the first step is to spend a week to create all the scripts and storyboards of the first season of "My Name is MT".
In the following time, Chen Mo directly transformed into the original artist, using memory playback potion to reproduce the forgotten memories while recording the script and storyboard.
In addition, Chen Mo also needs to roughly draw a concept diagram for reference for the animation producers.
During this period, Chen Mo did not plan to use the super accelerator again. The side effects were a little bit serious when I used it last time, and Chen Mo still felt a little worried.
...
One week later.
Guo Feng came to the experience store again, and Chen Mo showed Guo Feng the script, storyboard and scenes that he had already made.
Guo Feng looked through it and was surprised to find that the storyboard and script given by Chen Mo were very complete and standardized. Just looking at the storyboard can roughly summarize the entire picture of the entire anime.
Moreover, the character is also very novel. The protagonist is actually a cow?
"Um……"
Guo Feng touched his chin. He originally thought that Chen Mo was like some local producers, and he mainly played the game and made anime with fun. But today, when he saw this storyboard, the script could not be said to be perfect, but at least the idea of this story is good and has the potential to discover.
If this is their own project in their studio, Guo Feng should also arrange the best resources to produce it.
Moreover, the script and storyboard given by Chen Mo are very detailed, and even notes some lines' design intentions and dubbing precautions.
What Guo Feng didn't know was that Chen Mo actually made some fine-tunings on the script of "My Name is MT". Chen Mo replaced some too obscure memes, and replaced them with content that is relatively easy for viewers in this world to understand.
After all, Chen Mo's current plot ability is full marks in the first stage, so it is easy to change some script content in this aspect.
"If you have a more professional view on scripts and storyboards, you can mention them to me, but it is not completely impossible to modify them." Chen Mo said.
Guo Feng nodded: "Okay, if you have a better idea, I will communicate with you. But I am really surprised. Your script is done well, at least in my opinion, this anime has the potential to be a hit."
Chen Mo laughed secretly, Xiaohuo? You underestimate this anime too much.
But this is normal. In my previous life, although "My Name is MT" was praised when it was first released, who could have thought that it could be so popular?
Even when Ledong Zhuoyue spent 3 million to buy the copyright of "My Name is MT", many people still felt that the master's head was funny.
Now it seems that most people underestimate the potential of this anime and this game.
Originally, Guo Feng was a little worried that Chen Mo would not be reliable in making scripts and storyboards, but after seeing the scripts Chen Mo took out today, his doubts also disappeared.
The two sides had a very smooth negotiation and finally signed the contract early next month, and then the production officially began.
Zhao Zihao specially sent an employee from his own company's legal department to help Chen Mo check the contract. After confirming that there was no problem, Chen Mo officially signed the contract to pay.
The second month of "Plant vs. Zombies" revenue was more than 2.6 million yuan, and 1.8 million yuan of this was used as the production cost of the "My Name is MT" animation. The rest was prepared to be used to purchase art resources such as card original paintings.
...
The animation production has come to an end, and Chen Mo is waiting to see how much the finished product can be achieved.
Next, Chen Mo will officially start planning the rules of the mobile game "My Name is MT".
When the mobile game "My Name is MT" was launched, its gameplay and various systems were actually relatively single, but after many version updates, its various functions began to become more and more bloated.
Chen Mo does not intend to copy all the system functions, because the mobile game update version and adding system gameplay is actually a last resort. It is often forced to add it like cramming, which is to allow players to experience new content so that they will not lose fun in the game and thus lose it.
In the early stages of the game, Chen Mo still had to "slim down" and could not throw too many gameplay to the players at once, leaving them at a loss.
After roughly thinking about the final form of this game, Chen Mo began to write a design document framework.
These design documents include: main interface layout, basic combat system, card development system, dungeon planning, special combat, account attributes (level, title, physical strength, etc.), mall and VIP functions, friends, guilds, backpacks, chat, email, and daily activities and other related content.
With the help of memory playback potion, the large framework of these documents was quickly written, because these systems were basically the standard configuration of domestic mobile games later, and the gameplay was similar. They were mature designs that had been verified countless times, so there was no need to consider too much.
The main content of Chen Mo's work is basically in two aspects: one is card development and combat system, and the other is the numerical balance of levels and cards.
Originally, Chen Mo planned to hand over some of the design documents of the functions to Su Jinyu to write, but then he thought about it. These functions were completely unfamiliar to Su Jinyu. If she asked her to write, Chen Mo would probably have to modify them again, wasting time.
Moreover, it is difficult to explain the design intention of this game to Su Jinyu. It is better to let Su Jinyu create two more original cards with this time.
After all these design documents are finished, let Su Jinyu enter it into the editor.
