Chapter 600 New Game Project: Grand Theft Auto
The hot sales of "Resident Evil" made Pangu Games famous. Although Qingyao Games had released some games before, most of them relied on copyright to make money and the investment was not large.
Resident Evil was Pangu Games' first major release. Its impressive sales have given Pangu Games a head start, a boon for the company, which had just gained independence.
The first "Resident Evil" was a huge hit, and Pangu Games immediately started the production of the second "Resident Evil". At the same time, the film department also cooperated with the game department to start discussing the plot of the second part together.
The Resident Evil IP has always been about the interaction between the movie and the game. The plot is the same for both the movie and the game, and they will continue to complement each other in the future.
According to the plan, both the Resident Evil film and the game will be released every two years. The game will take two years to produce, and the film will also take two years to produce.
This pace is also normal. Many of Qingyao Group's IPs have several years between the first and second installments. It's not that the film companies are slow to produce, but rather that they deliberately slow down the pace to maximize profits.
At the same time, take advantage of the time difference in between to accumulate more fans and lay the foundation for the next step of making money.
In Pangu Games' conference room, Su Yang, the company's director, was in attendance again today. While Pangu Games had considerable autonomy, Su Yang was still the first person everyone turned to for major projects. With Su Yang as their trusted advisor, which subsidiary wouldn't want to be on board?
Although the purpose of the subsidiary's independence was to get rid of its dependence on Su Yang, from the perspective of the entire group, Su Yang was a jerk. And he was a young jerk. Su Yang was only in his twenties, not yet thirty.
Even if he retires at 60, there are still more than 30 years in the future. If his talent can be maintained, with Su Yang's 30 years, what a giant will Qingyao Group become?
Everyone looked at Su Yang, who was unfazed. After all, for Su Yang, it was just a matter of coming up with an idea. He could come up with an idea himself, and the rest would be left to the people in the subsidiary. Su Yang had no shortage of ideas; he had too many of them.
"Resident Evil has already achieved tremendous success. We only need to continue developing this IP step by step in the future. However, the company cannot just produce and maintain this one IP. This is the planning of our new game..."
Su Yang directly took out the plan for a new game. Four big words appeared on the big screen: "Grand Theft Auto".
“This is a…”
Su Yang began to introduce the game's settings. He had played several generations of the game directly in the system. Then he integrated the essence and formed the current plan.
The game's background is not limited to China, but is global. The game has a large scale and the gameplay is also very awesome.
After hearing Su Yang's plan, everyone took a deep breath. Looking at Su Yang, they didn't know what to say. Brother Yang was indeed worthy of being Brother Yang. This plan was too detailed.
The game background, gameplay, various operations, etc. are all listed in great detail. With these settings, it is equivalent to having an outline, and the remaining outline work is much simpler, that is, to write the content according to Su Yang's plan, enrich and improve the content, and the entire game is planned.
"This game will also take two years to produce. As for how we'll manage the budget, I won't ask any more questions. But as always, quality comes first. We can't let our reputation suffer..."
After saying this, Su Yang smiled, which made everyone laugh. Regarding funding, no one was worried at all. This was because Pangu Games had plenty of money. The games they had made in the past had made a lot of money, and now with the hot sales of "Resident Evil", they had even more cash flowing in.
The head office hasn't taken the funds yet, so we can spend them however we want, as long as it's reasonable. With sufficient funds and creative ideas, we know what to do next. That's to give 100% of our energy and passion to make this game a masterpiece.
Su Yang is also looking forward to this game, because it has a large background and many ways to play. And this game is destined to burn a lot of money.
The game's background is much larger than Resident Evil, and it has many more maps. With the real Earth as its backdrop, many famous cities even need to be built one-to-one in real life, which costs a lot of money.
A large amount of data collection is required to create this realistic scene in the game. There are so many people and so many ways to play.
Given Pangu Games' spending habits, 2 billion yuan might not be enough to produce this game. For Pangu Games, this is a huge gamble. Winning means everyone's happy, but losing might take time to recover. However, with the parent company backing all the subsidiaries, they're not afraid of losing money.
If you don’t even have the courage to lose money, how can you possibly produce good work?
"In addition to the stand-alone game, I also have a plan..."
Su Yang looked at everyone's expressions and continued, which made everyone stunned.
"We need to take a longer-term view and have bigger ambitions. We at Pangu Games want to not only be a disruptor in this industry, but also a leader in the future. And if I succeed in this next project, maybe we can become a leader..."
Su Yang's words made everyone's eyes light up.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Su Yang opened the PPT. There were four big words written on the first page of the PPT: e-sports.
When seeing these four big words, many people are confused.
"Esports—that's how I define our upcoming project. Esports refers to electronic gaming competitions that have reached a competitive level. Esports involves a combination of intellectual and physical effort, conducted using electronic devices as exercise equipment. Through esports, participants' thinking abilities, reflexes, limb coordination, and willpower can be trained and improved, fostering team spirit. Professional esports also demands high physical stamina. My vision for esports is that it will become a profession in the future, similar to non-electronic gaming competitions like chess. This is what we're going to do next. Ladies and Gentlemen, if we succeed in this, what do you think? Do we deserve to be at the forefront..."
Su Yang said with a smile. This world, whether it's the entertainment or gaming industries, is quite backward. Up until now, there's no such thing as e-sports in this world. This made Su Yang very excited, and he had been waiting for the right opportunity. Now, that opportunity has arrived!
