Chapter 401: On Being Scumbag in Online Games 25

After seeing what Jiang Lan made, everyone suddenly realized.

It turns out that the card characters that the boss asked to make are not flat card characters, but three-dimensional ones.

This really can't be blamed on them. In their impression, cards are cards like poker cards, so when designing, they all go for flat beautification.

This jump from two dimensions to three dimensions in an instant, I have to admire the boss's imagination.

"Mr. Jiang, if it's this kind of character, then the design method is actually the same as the character design of the terminal RPG game. All of them need 3D modeling, and each character should have a main story to enrich the plot content."

Jiang Lan nodded and replied: "Yes, that's what we have to do."

"Then the workload is a bit large. If we follow our current staffing, the efficiency is really not enough."

"I know that you usually use 3dsmax, Maya, and Zbrush for modeling. High-difficulty and detailed modeling takes at least 7 to 10 days to complete."

"Mr. Jiang, you are right. This is already the speed of a veteran. And the specific modeling situation depends on the original painting. This is also a very large project."

"I understand, so I plan to develop a software myself to improve your modeling efficiency."

Jiang Lan said this in a casual way, but others thought this idea was a bit fanciful.

The production of modeling software is much more difficult than pure modeling.

The software that everyone commonly uses now is developed abroad, and everyone has used it for many years.

Boss, what are you thinking? Why do you want to develop software?

Wouldn't it be easier for you to hire a few more modelers and painters?

The head of the art group reminded carefully: "Boss Jiang, this software development will take time after all. Why don't we discuss with the human resources department and recruit a few more people?"

Jiang Lan thought for a while and said, "It doesn't take too long. Just give me three days."

"Well... okay then."

The boss has spoken, what else can I say?

Anyway, the difficulty of software development is there. When the boss hits a wall, he will naturally give up.

These three days are not long, and everyone can wait.

No one thought that Jiang Lan, the boss, said that she would develop the software in three days, but in fact, she really developed the software in less than two days.

When she showed the software to everyone, everyone opened their mouths wide, almost unable to believe what they saw.

My God, what a magical boss!

She started developing without a word, and the key is that she actually developed the software!

Is it really that powerful?

What kind of magic is this?

"I designed the automatic modeling function, which can automatically generate several preliminary models according to your needs. We only need to make some minor modifications on this basis later..."

"Of course, if someone is not used to this function, they can also choose to turn off the automatic modeling and use the original modeling method. This software combines all the functions of 3dsmax, Maya, and Zbrush, and can switch between Chinese and foreign languages..."

In addition, Jiang Lan also introduced other functions of the modeling software.

She automated all the relatively small things that usually consume the modeler's time, greatly improving the modeler's modeling efficiency.

"Do you have any questions?"

"Boss Jiang, can we try this software first?"

After listening to the boss's introduction, everyone was eager to try it out.

Seeing the eager look of the employees, Jiang Lan handed them the software installation package.

"Try it slowly first, don't worry."

It is a good thing for employees to be diligent. After Jiang Lan gave them the venue, he went to do his own thing.

She recently got some materials from certain channels and is assembling a brand new VR glasses.

Three months later, the mobile versions of several classic PC games of Shengshi Group were officially launched, instantly attracting a large number of emotional parties.

The ranking of "Tower of God", which has been at the top of the mobile game market download list for several months, fell instantly from the first to the fifth position, and the previous ones were all games of Shengshi Group.

Just when many people were waiting to see Jiang Lan's joke, the situation took a huge turn.

Several games of Shengshi Group did have a high download volume, but after players tried them, the uninstall rate was also very high.

Many players complained on the forum, lamenting that the game was not fun anymore.

Xunmeng: The PC game was changed to a mobile game, and it felt that it didn't have the same flavor as before. The dungeon just needed to be idle. What's the difference between this and automatic? Hua Kai

Hua Luo: The game was made for feelings, but as a result, many PC game contents were streamlined, and it was really not as fun as before.

Rensheng Haihai: Large-scale PC games are really not suitable for mobile games. The gap is really too big. I'd better play "Tower of God". I'm not used to playing other games.

Originally, the download volume of "Tower of God" had entered a bottleneck period, but under the stimulation of Shengshi Group's games, it ushered in another wave of download peaks.

The top executives of Shengshi Group had even prepared a celebration banquet.

But they were furious when their hard work only resulted in failure for their rivals.

Yao Hui, the person in charge of Shengshi Group, was so angry that he slammed the table in his office.

He made a solemn promise to all investors for the mobile game project.

But after working so hard for so long and spending so much on marketing, the results were awful.

After the once popular PC game was changed to a mobile game, the number of online players did not even reach 50% of the expected number, and he was so worried that his brows were furrowed.

In fact, it was not only Shengshi Group, but also several other game companies that changed PC games to mobile games, which also suffered a Waterloo.

They turned a profitable business into a loss-making business.

A group of game dealers were fighting, and as a result, they put Starman, a spectator, on a pedestal. This result was really infuriating.

The employees who were originally worried about their futures breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this.

"Mr. Jiang, why do PC games fail when adapted to mobile games?"

"Changing a PC game to a mobile game may not necessarily fail, but the premise is that the PC game is a turn-based game with a short dungeon time and an idle mechanism."

"What if it is other types?"

"Other types are difficult to guarantee, because the scenarios in which players use mobile phones are not as stable as those using computers, so they will encounter various emergencies. In addition, players have more choices and are impatient. They don't have patience for games that are too long."

When playing PC games, hundreds of people fighting a dungeon for a day and a night is also fun.

But if it is changed to a mobile phone, it is difficult to sustain the battery for long-term game play.

In addition, the small screen is not so attractive, and players are easily bored.

To be fair, PC games are actually more fun than mobile games.

PC games are serious games, while mobile games are more like a casual way to kill time.

Everyone is very busy. How many people have so much time to play games seriously? Most people just use their spare time to play games.

"Boss Jiang, you are younger than me, how do you know so much?"

Jiang Lan looked up at the sky, "Maybe it's a natural talent, don't be too jealous."

"..."

Sometimes having a funny boss is also a very speechless thing.
