Chapter 130 A Happy Decision

While Lin Wan couldn't describe the difference between web games and PC games with perfect accuracy, she could roughly understand the problem with this approach.

Client games and web games are two completely different types of games.

Their traditional gameplay, core mechanics, and target player base are completely different.

Anyone who thinks that a web game can be easily converted into a PC game is definitely a clueless noob when it comes to games.

Porting can only be done from top to bottom, such as porting a PC game to a web game, or a web game to a mobile game.

And it also requires the game's own characteristics to support it.

If it's the other way around, such as porting a web game to a PC game, there are simply too many things to change, and the difficulty is basically no different from developing a new game from scratch.

However, Shang Yang Games has already decided to develop "Hot-Blooded Battle Song: Power Enhanced Edition." Even the design drafts have been finalized. This is President Pei's decision, so it definitely can't be changed casually.

In this case, making a micro-client has become the only solution to spend so much of the budget.

But as Wang Xiaobin said, making a micro-client has huge risks.

With a micro-client, players need to download fewer resources than a PC game, and the graphics are better than a web game. It seems like a win-win solution.

But from another perspective, it is a solution that pleases neither side.

For PC game players, its picture quality is not as good as regular client games.

For web game players, they still have to download a micro-client, which is not as convenient as playing instantly.

It is very likely that neither side will like it, which will be a complete disaster.

Everyone once again turned their attention to Lin Wan.

This matter still has to be decided by her, the director.

Lin Wan felt a little panicked.

In the past, when he was at Tengda, although he was also responsible for some work, he had never made such a key decision.

You must know that making this decision is very likely to directly affect everyone's work in the next few months, as well as millions of funds.

If it succeeds, of course, there is nothing to say.

If it fails, everyone will be busy for nothing, and the money will be wasted.

This kind of heavy burden made Lin Wan feel a lot of pressure.

She subconsciously wanted to ask President Pei for advice.

But after thinking about it, she felt that it wouldn't work.

President Pei sent her here to be responsible for Shang Yang Games because he had high hopes for her!

If she asked President Pei for instructions on everything, wouldn't she become a mere mouthpiece? That would completely辜负 (gūfù, let down) President Pei's good intentions.

Lin Wan fell into deep thought.

"If it were President Pei, what would he do at this time?"

"Hoo, calm down. President Pei often makes unexpected decisions, but when you think about it carefully, they are still reasonable."

"Would President Pei cut the budget? Absolutely not."

"Then would President Pei care whether players accept the micro-client? It doesn't seem like it."

"President Pei should make choices for the players, and not care whether the players accept them in the early stages."

"So... it's very clear what President Pei would do."

After considering for a moment, Lin Wan said decisively: "Make a micro-client. The design content will remain the same, but the art resources will be fully upgraded, from 2D to 3D."

Lin Wan's expression was quite confident.

Her confidence did not come from herself, but from the accurate speculation of President Pei's behavioral intentions.

This is the self-cultivation of a Tengda employee!

...

...

After the meeting.

Ye Zhizhou returned to his workstation and began to modify the budget and demand list.

Although doubling the budget directly is a good thing, for Ye Zhizhou, modifying various demand lists is still a very headache.

Fortunately, this is also a kind of happy trouble.

Just as he was busy, the phone screen lit up. He took a look and saw that it was a message from President Pei.

"How's the progress?"

Ye Zhizhou's spirits lifted. Great, President Pei took the initiative to ask!

Ye Zhizhou was still a little worried about Lin Wan's decision.

Doubling the budget and changing the web game to a micro-client game were a bit too risky. Without President Pei's nod, Ye Zhizhou still felt guilty.

But he couldn't report this matter to President Pei, as that would make it seem like he was snitching.

Now that President Pei took the initiative to ask, of course it was for the best.

Ye Zhizhou quickly explained the results of the meeting, mainly the issues of the budget and the micro-client.

He thought that if President Pei had any questions about this matter, he would answer them.

Two minutes later, President Pei replied.

"Very good, just follow this."

"If there are any problems that cannot be decided in the future, just listen to Director Lin."

President Pei didn't have any problems at all and completely agreed with Director Lin's decision!

Ye Zhizhou couldn't help but sigh, as expected, a design director parachuted in from Tengda, how could he be a person with no real skill?

In fact, at the meeting, Ye Zhizhou still had a little doubt about Lin Wan.

After all, Lin Wan didn't raise any questions about the details of the design draft, and directly finalized such a big change, which made Ye Zhizhou feel rather rash.

But now, with President Pei's affirmation, all doubts disappeared.

Could there be anything wrong with something that President Pei has finalized?

And indeed, as Director Lin said, President Pei unhesitatingly approved the 5 million budget, and did not question the risky decision of the micro-client.

It seems that Director Lin's interpretation of President Pei is indeed several levels higher than ours!

In this way, the busy President Pei should be able to rest assured about Shang Yang Games, right?

...

...

Pei Qian put down his phone, feeling good.

Lin Wan's performance was even better than he had estimated!

Pei Qian was mainly worried that Lin Wan would be constrained after arriving at Shang Yang Games, and would not dare to do anything, being emptied out and becoming a commander without troops.

In that case, Lin Wan's sense of frustration would not be strong enough, and she might shift the blame to others, and would not be willing to go back and inherit the family property.

But now it seems that Lin Wan's role transition has been done very well!

It actually coincided with what Pei Qian thought.

Not only did she spend more money, but she also changed the originally stable web game into a micro-client.

In fact, Pei Qian knew about the micro-client thing, but he also knew that this model has never become the mainstream model of web games.

It won't now, and it won't in the future.

Indeed, some web games have made micro-clients, but this is just the icing on the cake, and most of the game's micro-clients are controlled within 50m, and there are no larger ones.

The way Shang Yang Games is doing it now, on the one hand, will increase the computer's configuration requirements for this game, and on the other hand, the downloaded client will become larger, at least two or three hundred m.

Many people who use company office computers and old machines to play web games may be directly dissuaded!

To put it bluntly, this game is now unable to please PC game players, nor can it please web game players. It is neither here nor there, and it also spends more money. It's perfect!

Such a web game will cost 5 million to produce in the early stage, and then spend another two or three million on promotion depending on the situation. The development progress should be faster than "Turn Back is the Shore."

At that time, it can be launched more than a month in advance, and the loss can be determined in advance, which is simply wonderful!
