Is the mobile game in public beta?

Meng Lang bit his finger and said speechlessly: What a bloody ink stain. After so many tests, even the day lily is cold now!

Is Penguin short of money?

Such a simple mobile game was delayed for nearly a year before it was released. Just like this, another small mobile game manufacturer can do it.

This mobile game is called YOYO Girl!

That's right! It was the game developed a long time ago. Pengda provided the IP linkage, Penguin was responsible for the production, and Meng Lang also participated in the internal beta test of the mobile game.

What a fate!

The internal beta test started a year ago. Meng Lang thought it would be available for public beta last summer. Unexpectedly, the test lasted for three rounds and it took 15 months for the public beta to come.

It completely consumes the players’ enthusiasm!

After waiting for such a long time, the initial reservation players have long been persuaded to leave. Coupled with the fact that YOYO's popularity has dissipated, how many players can join the open beta now?

Penguin doesn't care!

Meng Lang analyzed: I heard that they have a big internal plan to transplant their successful client games to mobile devices. I guess they are busy working on this and are not very concerned about YOYO.

Then still cooperate with them?

Let's find another one! A small factory will do. Big factories have their own projects. It's better to work with them than to do it yourself.

Pengda has an IP library, and any one of them can be used as a “money-making” mobile game. However, Pengda does not have the ability to produce and publish games, and needs to find technically reliable partners.

Mother YOYO's experience made Meng Lang lose trust in big factories. To this end, he decided to find a small factory to cooperate with.

There are quite a few options!

Not to mention Bakugan Boy, Battle King EX, and Eggman Miracle, even the strange-looking Balala Little Demon Fairy can be made into a game.

An explosion is unlikely!

There seems to be no such popular example of this kind of IP mobile game. But making money is no problem, after all, there is a loyal fan base.

Although it is mainly about cooperation, not all IPs will be wasted. Meng Lang wanted to operate the IP with relatively high value by himself.

For example, Ultraman!

There are quite a few derivative games of the Ultraman IP, including those made by Tsuburaya himself. But it didn't become a big hit, so I could barely make ends meet.

Maybe it’s because the type is rather “old-fashioned”!

Ultraman's derivative games are basically based on arcade side-scrolling fighting. This is also the inherent impression of many people, who believe that the value of Ultraman lies in fighting!

In fact, this direction is wrong!

Arcade fighting is fine, but the genre is outdated. No matter how good your game is and how influential your IP is, you still won’t be able to attract too many fans.

Can we go in another direction, like FPS? The role that the player assumes becomes Team Kurt! Use various black technology weapons to attack monsters?

Or, MMORPG online games?

Implant a character development system into Ultraman and experience the fun of character development? Fight monsters to upgrade, forge powerful equipment (super bracelets, head darts), form a team to open up the Beria epic copy? Isn’t this pretty good!

Pengda has a similar plan. In order to further enhance the influence of the Ultraman IP, it will make a derivative game.

Focus on it! Don't make money!

Pengda only wants to increase the influence of its IP, and the profit of the game is secondary. Based on this premise, the games you make cannot be based on “krypton gold”.

Then let's do MOBA!

There are a lot of monsters appearing in Ultraman. We set skills for them according to their appearance, making it a game similar to League of Legends.

League of Legends already has it!

But Honor of Kings is not there yet, and the mobile version is still in the MOBA desert stage. If the quality and balance of the game are guaranteed, let alone becoming popular, at least the influence of the IP will be greatly improved.

When the game comes online, people will probably send Meng Zai private messages every day, complaining that Ultraman XX is too weak and should be strengthened in the next version...

That said, Meng Lang really wanted to do it. Not only Ultraman, he also wants to include knights to form the Pengda Alliance!

Did you choose Jadon on the road? MD is so meaty! No, I need a supreme dart to hit him. Did V3 in the bottom lane double kill? Can you play Jack? What about the passive that increases damage by 50% when there are no teammates around?

It's a beautiful thought, but the real problem is. Pengda does not have a talent pool in this area. If it wants to create a finished product, it must either acquire a mature game company or slowly develop it from scratch.

Meng Lang chose the former!

Whenever there is a shortcut, Mengzi will never take the high road. Are you saying shortcuts are tricky? Then you must have never seen Mengzi’s “money power”!

Don’t say anything, just buy it!

It happens that there is a game company in Jiangchuan, and it is an extremely rare single-player believer in China. He lost all his money in making a stand-alone game. As soon as Meng Lang scattered his money, the company changed its name to Pengda Games on the spot!

Spending money is so fun!

Although a series of 0s on the bill look painful, you have to understand that pie will not fall from the sky, and there will be no reward without effort.

Maybe spending money can become addictive. After buying a company, Meng Lang fell in love with a motion capture studio.

This is great!

Motion capture is very useful, although leather holsters can solve most problems. But there are also some special characters that require the use of CG special effects.

It would be cool to use motion capture at this time!

To put it harshly, in this industry, everything else can be shabby, but special effects cannot be shabby. Meng Zai likes to use special effects, but only in TV dramas!

Are big movies missing special effects?

You can't spit on people! Mr. Meng is stingy, at least he is not guilty of special effects, right?

Look at this light, how bright it is!

Mr. Meng, this is too bright...

The special effects artist struggled: There is already a slight glare. If the brightness is increased, will the audience be able to bear it?

Dazzling? That's right!

Meng Lang gestured: If the light is not dazzling enough, how will the audience know whether Jack's special move is strong or not?

This seems to be the truth!

The special effects artist obeyed the instruction and increased Jack's light brightness by two levels. Then the result was that the dog's eyes were blinded.

So cool! I can’t stand it!

The effect displayed was roughly that Jack crossed his hands into a cross, and the monster was instantly submerged by a dazzling beam of light.

After dealing with the light, the next question follows: How should the monster exit?

The previous exit method was that after the monster was hit by a light, it fell into a fixed state and fell backwards, then exploded after falling to the ground.

This is also Tsuburaya's usual exit method, using an explosion to prove that the monster has been destroyed by Ultraman.

But there is another way!

For example, if a monster is hit by a light, it shatters into light particles under the impact of the light. Ultraman's light ends and the light particles drift away in the wind.

This is very romantic!

After all, you will get tired of watching too many explosions, so it’s a good idea to change the method occasionally. As for dismembering the body, this is too cruel!

Dismemberment might as well explode!
