The foundations of Onmyoji were very clear cut. Even though its playstyle was vastly different from I Am MT after generations of card gas, the core was still identical, it was still getting cards, training them, and arranging a team.
The more difficult parts of the developnt process would be the quality of the artwork as well as making models. Onmyojis models were exceedingly high quality, much higher than those in Warcraft and Wulin Legend.
There was a lot of work that needed to be done outside of the models such as background music, dubs, and character artworks. These were relatively to solve as long as he had money.
In Chen Mos plan, Onmyoji was split into six different categories, Shikigami and Onmyoji system, quests, combat, socials (hunts, mail, chatting, etc.), Souls and shop related things, and other systems(summoning, codex, etc.).
The most important ones were Shikigami, Onmyoji, Souls, and everything related to the combat system, followed by the story. Everything else should fall in place when these two are done.
Chinese card gas were incredibly easy to play, and the difficulty cos from developing a play style based on the stats of the cards, which was how Chen Mo managed to finish the draft pretty quickly.
Chen Mo sent the concept draft and the sketch for Abe No Seii to Su Jinyu before going downstairs.
Before Su Jinyu could take a proper look at the docunt, Wen Lingwei and Qian Kun gathered around her.
They were the two most interested in this type of ga, which was why they were so excited to hear about the design docunt.
Everyone was shocked to see that sketch of Abe No Seii.
What? Abe no Seii? Isnt that a famous Onmyoji? exclaid Zheng Hongxi.
Yeah, that clothing is also quite Japanese. Is this the the youre going for, manager? asked Wen Lingwei.
Zheng Hongxi was a bit conflicted, Is it going to work? The IPs they use are better than the last. Onmyoji doesnt seem popular in China either, so do you plan on making your own IP, manager?
Su Jinyu looked through the design docunt and said, The manager wrote that itll be high quality, and will even hire voice actors in Japanese? From the looks of it, the ga might be much more complicated than I Am MT.
How knows how this will end up!
Everyone was kind of worried.
Chen Mo ca down stairs while the discussion was still going on.
Lets go into the eting room, Ill quickly go over the plans for the ga, said Chen Mo as he walked towards the eting room.
Wen Lingwei followed, I want to listen in too!
Chen Mo nodded, Alright, suits you.
After getting seating Jia Peng couldnt help but ask, Manager, what type of ga is it? Is it similar to I Am MT?
Su Jinyu asked too, Another pay to win ga?
Oh, this will be a very honest ga. replied Chen Mo.
Su Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief, Oh, thank goodness.
Qian Kun was shocked and looked through the docunt again, Umm, are you sure? The summoning system and Shikigami training system doesnt seem honest at all.
Chen Mo replied, Im saying honest in terms of the story. The ga is placed in a ti where ghosts and humans live side by side. The Onmyojis are responsible for maintaining the balance between them. There are also a lot of heartfelt stories between humans and monsters as most monsters have lived a sad life. If the story isnt honest I dont know what is.
Zheng Hongxi replied as he looked through the docunt again, Hmm. This story doesn seem quite honest.
Qian Kun scratched his head as he felt that sothing wasnt quite right, yet couldnt find what was wrong.
Chen Mo continued, You guys can view this ga as an improved I Am MT. The core of the ga is similar to I Am MT, it uses similar getting cards, leveling them, and battling systems. But instead of cards, itll be 3D models.
Qian Kun seed to be rejuvenated and full of life, So, manager, its a scammy ga then?
Chen Mo was slightly irritated, Yes, you could put it like that.
I have a problem. Since its a card ga, the IP is very important right? You couldnt even show your face on the market if you didnt have a big IP. This ga might do well in Japan, but there arent many fans who like this the in China right? asked Zheng Hongxi.
Chen Mo nodded, Yes, it seems to be like that.
Then how do you plan to get this IP off the grounds? Do you plan to make an animated series like I Am MT? asked Wen Lingwei.
Chen Mo shook his head, No animations. We wont be doing anything, the ga will carry the IP with it.
Everyone was shocked, Really?
Chen Mo laughed, Really. Thats why we have to make the ga as high quality as possible. This includes the artwork, models, scenes, music, voicelines, and dubs. It must be good enough to be better than any other mobile card ga on the market.
Su Jinyu scowled, Be better than any other card ga? That sounds hard.
Chen Mo shook his head, Not all all. It ends up being a problem of money. So Goldfish, when you go search for a company to outsource the companies, you can go straight to the highest quality ones. Im alright with paying twenty thousand RMB for a piece of art. I dont have any limits for artwork or music this ti. And I want famous voice actors from Japan. I dont mind spending more money if that ans Im getting soone Im happy with.
Everyone was shocked, Twenty thousand per piece? Famous voice actors?
I Am MTs artworks were only two thousand a piece, but this ti it was ten tis more, isnt this too wasteful? Combined with the models and animations, Shikigamis budget would go through the roof, costing more than the models for Warcraft!
Sure Chen Mo had money, it was shocking to everyone that hed spend it like that.
Qian Kun was a bit hesitant, Managear, if you really arent looking at the price tag, the developnt cost could cost tens of millions
Chen Mo nodded, Yeah, so what? Is tens of millions a lot? I spent thirty-odd million on the cinematics in Warcraft.
Jia Peng scratched his head, You cant compare it to Warcraft, its a mobile ga after all
Dont worry, assured Chen Mo, It wont lose to Warcraft in terms of profitability. Lets put it this way, there is no limit for the developnt budget, especially things that related to the quality of the ga like artwork and music. I want the best, dont worry about the cost.
Wen Lingwei jested, Geez, I didnt know the stingy manager was this generous! Im not used to this!
