Chapter 193 - Choosing Between Two Plans (2/2)

“Oh, that’s right, Brother Wang.

“Boss Pei said that your plan was quite good, but it was too conservative. He told you to make edits to your proposal during the research and development period because there’s a chance we might use it in the future.”

Ye Zhizhou repeated Pei Qian’s message, word for word.

Wang Xiaobin immediately perked up.

Oh! So that was why!

Boss Pei still validated my proposal. He just thought that I was being too conservative. The game was not outstanding enough as a standalone!

Wang Xiaobin was filled with motivation.

Now, he roughly understood why Boss Pei had chosen Ye Zhizhou’s proposal over his. Ye Zhizhou’s proposal was considered relatively novel among games with paywalls. However, Wang Xiaobin’s proposal was considered quite average and boring among standalone games.

Boss Pei had different criteria for each type of game, and Ye Zhizhou’s plan contained more novel ideas. Naturally, Boss Pei would think more highly of it.

Boss Pei said that my proposal was too conservative. That’s right, that’s the way it is. I prioritized stability and used very mature designs. Now that I look at it, it is pretty outdated.

The industry is always changing at a rapid pace. The game might barely be trendy now. However, after a few months, when research and development is complete; it would be outdated.

Boss Pei is right. I was being too conservative. Indeed, Boss Pei is worthy of his reputation. With a single look, he could point out the root of the problem!

It looks like I have to keep working hard.

Wang Xiaobin’s temper tantrum dissipated at once.

Since this was the case, he had to do his best to cooperate with Ye Zhizhou. They needed to produce Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version. Then, the next game they would produce would be the standalone game that he liked.

These three or four months would be the perfect time for him to keep brainstorming. He could revamp his entire plan and try to satisfy Boss Pei by the end of this period!

Ye Zhizhou scanned his design manuscript once again.

Indeed, Boss Pei had not changed a single word!

“Brother Wang, what should we do? Should we work according to this proposal?” Ye Zhizhou felt slightly guilty.

At that moment, the blind faith that Wang Xiaobin had in Boss Pei was at its peak. He immediately nodded and said, “Of course! Since Boss Pei has made his decision, what is there holding us back? Let’s work according to this!

“There’s another advantage to working according to your plan. The research and development period can be shortened significantly.

“We’re going to produce Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version. Wow, this name is really awkward. However, we can look at it as a high-definition replacement of the old version. We don’t have to change much of the game’s functions and gameplay. At the very most, we could spend a bit of time improving the various functions.

“This way, we can focus our time and energy on producing better art resources.

“Didn’t you always say before this that the current Bloody Battle Song has already been made over, and that all it’s lacking is a nice packaging? That’s just right! We’ll take this opportunity to change its packaging!

“I think that was what Boss Pei intended, too.”

Ye Zhizhou nodded. “Yes, that’s right. I’ll tidy up the design manuscript and prepare a list of art resources that we would need!”

Once he finished tidying up the design plan, the first thing Ye Zhizhou did was prepare the list of art resources.

Until now, Shang Yang Games had been incurring losses consistently. All of its money had been handed over to Tengda Games. What’s more, it could not even sustain its daily operations, rent, salaries, expenses, and the like. It had no choice but to ask Tengda Games for money.

This time, they needed a huge sum of money to produce the new game. They had no choice but to write a report, requesting for this sum of money from Boss Pei.

“I’m slightly worried. I want two million yuan, but I don’t know if Boss Pei would allow it.” Ye Zhizhou felt extremely apprehensive.

Wang Xiaobin hesitated for a second. Then, he said, “Give it a shot. Boss Pei will surely be willing to splurge to ensure the quality of the game. If he really refuses, we can think of ways to reduce the budget.”
