Chapter 57 (1/2)

After escorting Guo Feng out of the experience store, Chen Mo retreated into his office once again.

So far Chen Mo hadn’t made any progress on the design document. However, he was not worried, as the ruleset for a mobile card game was extremely simple. Only the combat system, coding, and level designs were a little bit more troublesome.

He prioritized finishing the scripts and storyboards for the animated series.

It was only through the popularity from the series that the mobile game was able to make money, therefore the series had to be live much earlier than the game itself, as it would take time for the series to gain momentum.

The game would spend four months in development, which Chen Mo had planned out.

First week: finish everything related to the animated series, such as character design, scene concept drawings, script, and storyboards, and organize the production of it.

It would likely take a week to finish an episode, each being ten minutes long.

As each episode was about half the duration of other animations, Chen Mo was worried that it wasn’t going to attract enough viewers, therefore he decided to release the first three episodes together, meaning they would be released a month into the plan.

After that, there would be an episode released a week, and the first season would be wrapped up in three months. It would be decided when the time came if the second season would be continued seamlessly.

As the animated series was produced, the game would also be under development. However that schedule was a bit more lenient, as adjustments would need to be made on the code.

If everything happened accordingly, the art for the cards and the other graphical resources should go pretty smoothly.

Chen Mo was aiming to finish the game in three months, leaving the rest of the time for testing and adjustments.

In short, the first step was still to work out everything for the animated series in a week.

Chen Mo would be taking up the role of an artist for the next couple days, jotting down notes on scripts and scenes while under the effects of the Memory Playback Potion.

Other than that, Chen Mo had also drawn concept art for the settings of the scene, as references for the production.

Chen Mo didn’t plan to use the Super Accelerator, as he still felt bad from the side effects the last time he used it.

A week later…

Guo Feng made another trip to the experience store. This time Chen Mo was able to show him the finished scripts, shots, and storyboard.

Guo Feng gave it a quick flip through, and was shocked to see that what Chen Mo had provided was very complete and up to par. He was able to get the gist of the story just from the storyboard!

Moreover, the character design was very new and fresh, and apparently the main character was a cow!

“Umm…” Guo Feng scratched his chin. He initially thought that this was just fooling around like a rich person, and Chen Mo was just doing it for the fun of it. But after looking through the storyboard and the script, although it wasn’t perfect, the story was a good idea and had great potential!

If this was a personal project of their studio, Guo Feng would assign their best resources to it!

Moreover, the script and storyboard provided by Chen Mo were extremely detailed! There were even remarks on the design intent for some of the dialogue, and areas that needed to be paid attention to during dubbing.

What Guo Feng didn’t know was that Chen Mo had already made a few minor changes to the original script and removed a few of the more obscure gags, which would help the audience in this world better understand its contents.
