Lin Han is not optimistic about the prospects for adapting the mobile game "Mars Rescue". Although there are many readers of the novel, this book is mainly about being alone on Mars. How do players play it?

Text exploration and decryption games are actually quite popular abroad and are not as good as card games and adventure games in China. Lin Han doesn’t even know whether the Xingyue Games company has the strength to build.

Fu Zhan saw Lin Han’s doubts, and he explained: “The development prospects of mobile games are very big. Many mobile games have experienced sales explosions before, including plants vs. zombies, Hearthstone, fishing masters, fruit ninjas, my name is mt, etc., all of which are big profits. Every year, a group of A-share listed companies rushed in to buy mobile games teams. Our team has participated in creating many mobile games and has rich experience.”

"I know that the smartphone gaming market is very large and has high growth potential, but it does not mean that every game can make money."

Currently, there are no less than 20 mobile games with monthly income of over 10 million yuan in the market. Mobile game companies and studios are constantly emerging like mushrooms after a rain.

Fu Zhan said calmly: "Our Xingyue Games has just completed the first round of financing and currently has enough funds to operate a game. This time our team came out to start a business, just to find a mobile game that is a little easier but can become famous."

"Sorry, I think there is something that can impress me. I can't promise you just this." Lin Han is more cautious. "Martian Rescue" is also a big IP, the novel is best-selling, and the movie version is being produced. If the mobile game is launched, a large number of readers and movie audiences will definitely be drawn in, which is a huge advantage.

If Star Yue Game is a shoddy studio, then Lin Han would just smash the sign, which would be more than worth the loss.

"Our company is willing to purchase the mobile game authorization of "Martian Rescue" for 5 million yuan, and there is another 5% profit share."

Not to mention anything else, Lin Han knew that in the field of online novels alone, the licensing price of mobile games has reached millions of dollars, and the highest licensing price has increased by 10 times in just one year.

What is amazing is that many works have only one title and the novel content is not written in a word, but the mobile game adaptation rights authorization fee is sold at a sky-high price of several million. For some literary masters, 5 million is just a starting price.

First-line online ip has been swept up by game companies and studios. Most of them have licensing prices of 10 million, and the fewest are millions. Even historical novels can be bought to adapt mobile games.

This is just a mobile game. If you add games and PC games, the game adaptation of a novel may be worth more than 10 million.

It is precisely because the online novel IPs are consumed almost, so Fu Zhan turned his attention to traditional novels. There are not many novels suitable for adaptation, and most of them are famous flowers, only Lin Han is left.

Lin Han is now the first young science fiction writer. "Martian Rescue" sold more than 2 million people in China. As long as it can convert one quarter of these more than 2 million people, that is, 500,000 people, into game users, then the IP is worth 10 million at the cost of 20 yuan per person.

This may be a bit exaggerated, but the price of at least 5 million is a bit low.

A good IP can bring many effects, just like driving. Top IP can ensure stable speed of a car to 60 yards. Perhaps the game guarantee only requires 30 yards. The amount of other income depends on the R&D capabilities and game quality of the game developer.

"5 million is not much. You should know that there were game companies that quoted us before, and there were even 8 million. But he just bought the name Mars Rescue, and bought it back and sold dog meat to make space adventure games with sheep's head, which had almost nothing to do with the novel."

Lin Han has strict requirements on these aspects. If he is greedy for money, he has some ways to make money.

Fu Zhan felt that things were a bit tricky, and Lin Han clearly stated that it was necessary to look at the specific planning of the game, rather than just talking casually, which would not impress the young man at all.

"In our planning, players will receive signals from Mars survivors at the beginning of the game. They must first crack this information, and then keep in touch with the survivors in the next time and give suggestions to help them get out of the predicament.

Survivors keep dialogue with players regularly to let players understand their current situation and make choices for the next step of action. Different choices will lead to different plot developments. At the same time, they must also observe the physical condition of the survivors so that they can make choices quickly. The survivors' physical strength and health are limited."

Lin Han couldn't help but nodded after hearing this. This stand-alone version of the text adventure game can indeed perfectly combine novels and games, and it sounds interesting.

Fu Zhan himself couldn't stop when he talked about the excitement. He danced: "The game process is in sync with real life. For example, if the survivor says he is hungry and wants to go to eat, you have to help him find food, and then the survivor eats for more than ten minutes before contacting the player. If the survivor wants to go to bed, the next contact time may be a few hours later."

"Will this affect the game experience? Time passes too slowly, and players may be impatient." Lin Han also actively discussed it. If the survivors ran to sleep for eight hours after only five minutes, how could they play?

"Actually, this is to let players experience the nervousness of waiting for the survivor to reply and hoping that he will not die, just like they are actually contacting the astronaut who crashed on Mars. Of course, players can also freely adjust the time and choose the fast forward mode. After the survivor dies, they start playing again from the archived position time."

The two of them had not reached an agreement on copyright, but they talked endlessly about the game adaptation method, and sparks of thinking were collided.

"Is the plot based on the novel "Martian Rescue"? It starts with introducing the basic situation of survivors, and then letting players choose to treat survivors. The first key option can be used to create a trap, and maybe they will die once at the beginning."

Players can choose to pull out the antenna in their body first or return to the base first, as well as surgery, how to obtain food, how to obtain water, how to plant, and even explore unknown areas on Mars. These all have different results.

Lin Han smiled treacherously. There are so many challenges on Mars, and reading the novel may only have some advantages. It does not mean that the original novel is a strategy for passing the level. If you have the idea of ​​crushing the level by reading the novel, you may be cheated.

Based on this idea alone, Lin Han has actually begun to be moved. At least he really wants to play this kind of game.
