Chapter 199 - Director Lin is Made of Something Indeed! (1/2)

Although Lin Wan could not accurately describe the difference between web-based games and client-side games, she could roughly understand the risks associated with doing something like that.

Client-side games and web-based games were completely different.

That meant that their traditional gameplay, core, and target audience were very different.

Only complete idiots would think that the transition from playing web-based games to client-side games was easy.

Transitions from a higher level to a lower level might be easier such as the transitions from client-side games to web-based games or web-based games to mobile games.

However, even so, special support from the game was required.

If one tried to do it in reverse such as the transition from web-based games to client-side games, they would have to change too many things. It would be as difficult as learning everything from scratch.

Yet, Shang Yang Games had already confirmed the research and development of Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version. Even the design manuscript was complete. What’s more, this was Boss Pei’s decision-nobody could change it at will.

This meant that in order for them to spend that much money, making the game a mini-client would be the only way.

Just like Wang Xiaobin said, there were huge risks associated with making the game a mini-client.

Players would have to download fewer resources for mini-client games compared to client-side games. However, the graphics would look better than web-based games. On the surface, this looked like a perfect solution that could satisfy both sides.

However, from another angle, it could be seen as a way to fail both sides.

For client-side gamers, the graphics for the new game would look worse than ordinary client-side games.

For web-based gamers, it might be troublesome to ask them to download content. The fact that they could not access the game as and when they liked might be a turn-off.

There was a chance that both types of players would not like the game. Then, it would completely fail.

Everyone turned to look at Lin Wan. As the director, she had to make the call.

Lin Wan began to panic inside.

When she was at Tengda, she was put in charge of certain tasks. However, she never had to make such important decisions.

One had to understand that a decision like that could affect everyone’s work for the next few months. It also concerned millions of yuan.

If they succeeded, of course, there would be nothing more to say.

However, if they failed, everyone would have worked in vain. What’s more, they would have made ducks and drakes of the money.

Lin Wan felt immense pressure bearing a burden like that. Instinctively, she thought about walking away and consulting Boss Pei on this.

However, on second thought, she decided not to. Boss Pei had made her in charge of Shang Yang Games because he had high hopes for her! If she consulted Boss Pei on every little thing, wouldn’t she be akin to a telephone? She would be letting Boss Pei down.

Lin Wan fell into deep thought.

If I were Boss Pei, what would I do now?

Phew… calm down. Boss Pei is always making unexpected decisions. However, on closer inspection, his decisions were reasonable.

Would Boss Pei reduce the budget estimate? He would not. Would Boss Pei care about whether players liked the mini-client or not? I don’t think he would.

Boss Pei would probably make the decision for the players. He wouldn’t care whether they accepted it in the beginning or not.

Thus… it’s quite clear what Boss Pei would do.

After pondering for a while, Lin Wan decisively said, “We’ll make a mini-client. We will not make any changes to the design. We will just improve all the art resources and turn them from 2D to 3D.”

Lin Wan looked quite confident.

The source of this confidence was not from inside herself but from her accurate prediction of what Boss Pei would do.

This was the self-cultivation of an employee of Tengda!

After the meeting…

Ye Zhizhou went back to his own work desk and started editing his budget estimate and requirement form. It was a good thing that their budget estimate was more than double of the original. However, to Ye Zhizhou, editing the various requirement forms was a pain.
