Chapter 4: Project outsourcing

On what do you need to develop a game?

A procedural ape with awesome technology, a master strategy that can control the rhythm of the game, as well as level design and numerical and plot planning, plus art responsible for game modeling actions and design style?

Well, these are needed.

Of course, you can include all of them together, and then put it simpler and clearer, that is, small money!

The development cycle of a game and the quality of its development, if it is to be completely linked to money, then it is absolutely absolute.

It can definitely greatly reduce the difficulties encountered in development. The so-called development difficulties of most game development teams do not really mean that some kind of bottleneck is encountered during development, but that their budget funds are not enough to allow them to spend money. solve.

has hundreds of thousands of funds in hand, and Yang Chen, who has made up his mind to look for outsourcing, is at least more trouble-free than some independent game makers.

Compared with what Yang Chen thought, including UI, music, and art modeling outsourcing, Yang Chen directly contacted a second-tier outsourcing company in Jiangshi.

Although the fee is more expensive, the corresponding scale of word of mouth and strength are also guaranteed.

After all, the game outsourcing line is considered to be a mixed fish, and some small company studios with outsourcing brands may even act as second-hand traffickers.

In simple terms, it is pimping and outsourcing outsourced work to third-party studios again. This phenomenon is quite common in this line.

I really want to run into it, but then there will be some mischief, even if I can finally get the money, then my game project is basically finished.

Therefore, Yang Chenning is willing to spend a little more money to find a reliable outsourcing company, and he is not willing to find those outsourcing companies that have lower prices but have never heard of it.

"The price is so expensive!" Inside the rental house, Wang Yaliang, who was sleeping on Yang Chen's thigh, looked at the quotation from the outsourcing company and licked the ice cream in surprise.

"It's a bit expensive, but with some small outsourcing, they are more likely to trust; and eat less, don't eat bad stomach." Yang Chen beat his hands on the notebook, watching Wang Yaliang sleeping on his lap , Moved without trace.

has been leaning for almost half an hour, and his thighs are almost numbed.

"No... yes... I only took the second one today, the first one was in the morning." Wang Yaliang, who wrapped the ice cream in his mouth, said coldly and coldly.

"I have an appointment with the other party. I will go to the other company's company in the afternoon to see their situation. Would you like to go with me?" Yang Chen turned his head, watching Wang Yaliang licking Qiao Lezi with his tongue back and forth, taking advantage of She carelessly bit the ice cream out of a big gap under her startled eyes.

General outsourcing projects basically transfer the effect samples through the Internet, and then feel that almost a deposit is paid, and then pay according to the results.

As for the reason for going to the other company’s company, it’s mainly because Chuyang still has some special requirements. It is best to be able to explain in person. This game can be said to determine your own destiny in the future. Ever.

Not to mention that the other party's company is not far from Jiangshi.

"Don't go, the finale of the Fan Opera this afternoon." Wang Yaliang bit the popsicle that had been eaten, thinking for about two or three seconds, then said decisively towards Yang Chen.

"Let's go." Yang Chen showed a look like this, and should respond.

Around two o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Chen came to Jiangshi High-tech Industrial Park.

A game outsourcing company named "Chasing Dreams" really wants to say fame that it can't be compared with the famous "Vitas", but there are some projects that can be done, and the strength is not bad. This is also Yang Chen One of the main reasons for choosing it.

The size of the company is okay. There are about twenty employees working at the moment. Yang Chen basically squinted, and most of them are making art materials for page games and mobile games.

It can be seen at a glance from the character style.

In the office, move the disposable teacup aside, Yang Chen put his laptop on the table.

"Mr. Yang Chen, do you want to do pixel-style stand-alone games?" A man with glasses for about thirty asked curiously about Chu Yang.

Hu Jun, the boss of the ‘dream chasing’ outsourcing company, actually doesn’t value Yang Chen’s business very much, but he is still very surprised by the game Yang Chen wants to do.

After all, stand-alone games are really not popular in China. Although it is not without a market, it is obviously polarized, especially for outsourcing companies like them.

Most of their businesses are mobile games, online games, and page games, and stand-alone games basically do not receive one order all year round.

After all, companies with money to build stand-alone machines do not need to find third-party outsourcing; independent studios and independent game producers, because of the lack of development costs, want a programmer to complete all game development work.

So when Yang Chen told him about the types of games he developed, Hu Jun was really curious.

"Yes." Yang Chen nodded.

"The stand-alone line is not easy to do!" Hu Jun couldn't help but sighed: "Especially the pixel style game, to be honest, this kind of pixel-like game is really very thankless, I remember some time ago, there is nothing else Was the magical pixel game in the Dungeon killed?"

Pixel wind, UU reading underground city, magic theme...

I'm really sorry, but you are the one I am talking about!

But then again, if you have money, who wants to do low resolution and who wants to do pixels? Who doesn't want to make the modeling in his game into high-definition 3D?

Yang Chen's expression on his face didn't change much, but there was a little embarrassment in his heart.

"I believe the game I want to do."

But soon Yang Chen thought of his dream memory. The countless amazing games filled Yang Chen with confidence.

Maybe I am really a small shrimp in the game, but I am not alone, I am standing on the shoulders of giants, and I have the wealth of another planet behind me.

Hu Jun didn’t say anything about Yang Chen’s self-confidence. Although he wasn’t a big guy, he had also mixed this line for a long time. He hadn’t seen it before he started the dream chase, and he had seen it after the dream chase. There are too many young people who are full of self-confidence and don't hit the wall or look back.

"Chu Yang." Hu Jun shouted outside, and after two seconds, a handsome young man knocked on the door and walked in.

"President Hu." Chu Yang walked into the door, glanced at Yang Chen sitting on the stool, and then toward Hu Jundao.

"Chu Yang, our company's art director. Mr. Yang, what specific requirements do you have, and what are your style requirements, just talk to Chu Yang." Hu Jun introduced Yang Chen.

After a few words, Yang Chen followed Chu Yang to his office.

After a few minutes, Yang Chen looked at the original sketch drawn by Chu Yang according to his description and shook his head: "No, not this style."

How to describe?

Yang Chen is a little bit poor. I don’t know how to describe the style of the game in my mind and the monster style.
