This is not a BUG, ​​this is a game feature

Chapter 96 Personal Edition and Professional Edition

Thunderbolt, animation zone.

Yabo, the well-known anime chat UP host, has just updated a "New Show Preview" video, which ranks among the top five on the site's popular list.

The title of the video is [July Divine Grace Animation Preview, Another World Toilet Paper Episode is enough to watch once! 】

I heard that this video was very popular and introduced a new concept - divine grace animation, so Qian Xin ran to take a look.

"Hello, friends, I am Duck Neck! Today, we are going to talk about the popular new Divine Grace series that will be aired or has been aired in July!"

"Some friends may be curious, what is Shen'en's new show? Let me explain here. The July new shows mentioned in this video are all produced by "Shen'en Continent", so they are collectively called Shen'en. Enxinfan..."

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point!"

"The first is the first blockbuster masterpiece, the Divine Grace animation, "The Skeleton Hero's Journey to Another World", officially produced and distributed by Thunderbolt."

"This new show is different from other Shen'en animations. The male protagonist is a skeleton soldier. That's right! It's the undead template in the DLC..."

"It is reported that Pili Pili specially hired a number of top voice actors for this animation, and also conducted pre-promotion on the homepage. The lineup can be said to be the best among all divine animations."

"Then there's "Who Can Still Fall in Love in a Different World?". Neon's well-known animation company Aguru has entered the field of divine grace animation for the first time. It is said to be a very sweet romantic comedy, worth looking forward to..."

There have always been many categories of animation.

By region, it can be divided into neon animation, Chinese animation, American animation, etc.According to production, it can be divided into 2D animation and 3D animation.According to age groups, it can be divided into children's animation, youth animation, all-age animation, etc.

But it's different now!

In current animation, especially in the field of isekai, there are only two types of animation.

One is Shen'en animation, which is produced using "Shen'en Continent" as the carrier.

The other type is other animations. No matter what the story is or what the production method is, in the subject of another world, it can only be classified as "other".

Divine Grace animation is so popular!
The endless stream of Shen'en animations has also made many animation companies smell business opportunities and decided to boldly try and use "Shen'en Continent" to produce a new work.

Previously it was all personal production.

For example, the popular "The Adventures of Jayne" was originally edited by Qian Xin alone and randomly hired a few voice actors to create the animation.

But now, the regular army has entered the scene.

Major animation companies have listed "God's Grace Animation" as their future development direction. If they can't beat it, they will join in and start an assembly line industrial toilet paper.

Ever since, when the total sales of the game "God's Grace Continent" across all platforms approached 180 million copies, a large number of "new God's Grace" programs were quietly officially announced.

Websites such as PILILI, Penguin Video, iYiqi Video, etc. have opened a special area for "Shen En Animation" for individual or corporate users to upload their own Shen En animations.

Individual users have nothing to say.

Because the editing is not professional, and there is also a lack of certain professional knowledge, and there is no good dubbing and copywriting foundation, just watch the fun.

But business users are different.

When they discovered the special features of "God's Grace Continent", they quickly approached Tianba Studio, not only for authorization, but also to put forward their requirements.

"What's the matter?"

After Chen Ba learned about the requirements of some animation companies, he couldn't help but complain: "Upgrade the game quality and provide personalized NPC customization services?"

"Ah yes!"

Xiao Lu nodded and said: "That's what they said, and they said they can pay extra for it..."

How smart the animation company is!

Ordinary divine animations can be made by just anyone, so how can we highlight their uniqueness and professionalism?

Therefore, they want better picture quality and more personalized NPC customization services.

"Extra charge?"

Chen Ba, who was originally not interested, suddenly became interested when he heard the words "extra payment".

Talking about money, then he is not sleepy anymore!
"I probably understand..."

"You mean, these animation companies want us to provide them with a special version of "God's Grace Continent", similar to the professional version and the personal version?"

Chen Ba thought thoughtfully: "The professional version opens up more permissions, a bit like a creative workshop? At the same time, the game quality is higher, and is it different from the personal version?"

"Correct!"

Xiao Lu nodded repeatedly: "That's what they mean. The current "God's Grace Continent" is good, but they don't like it."

"understood!"

Chen Ba clapped his hands and said, "In that case, tell them that we will release a professional version of the game in the future and will also open up personalized customized content."

The personal version is the basic version of the game and costs 68 yuan!
The professional version is based on the main body, with upgraded image quality, light and shadow, detailed maps, facial expressions, etc.

The personal version has a permanent buyout, but the professional version cannot do this. After all, it is for enterprise users. Doesn’t a permanent buyout mean that you are cutting off your financial path?

"The professional version is priced at 999/month, and the annual subscription is cheaper, only 9999/year!"

"Tiandi Bank?"

"That must be RMB!"

Chen Ba rolled his eyes and said, "Enterprise users, don't treat them like ordinary users or home users."

Corporate users buy "Shen's Grace Continent" in order to make money, that is, "commercial profit making."For this kind of users, wouldn’t it be reasonable to charge more?
And not only are the fees expensive, but they also charge tolls. For all animations produced by "God's Grace Continent", Tianba Studio will charge 30% of the revenue share.

That's Pro pricing, and on top of that, there's a personalized service priced at "X."

To put it simply, meet and communicate the details, determine personalized NPCs, maps or other needs, and then make a separate quotation based on the other party's needs.

Think it’s expensive?
Then don’t use it!
Those professional-grade animation production software are also quite expensive, so why don’t you complain?what!Don’t you use “God’s Grace Continent” as a productivity tool?

"Productivity tool? Really!"

Xiao Lu chuckled and said: "In that case, what we sell is not a game, but a third-party animation production software?"

"Sure!"

Chen Ba nodded and said: "Compared with other professional software, "God's Grace Continent" is simple to operate and powerful. You only need to dub and add some copywriting to make an animation."

This is too strong!
I only use it to catch up on anime and watch it, and it is overkill as a video player.

……

Early in the morning, Qian Xin climbed out of bed.

He has been very busy recently.

The popularity of "The Adventures of Jayne" allowed him to successfully transform into an animation producer and establish the "Jayne" studio, and his career has become increasingly prosperous.

He is so grateful to Brother Ba!

If it weren't for Brother Ba, he wouldn't have been able to seize the opportunity and jump up to where he is today.

It's a pity that Brother Ba himself didn't agree, otherwise his photo would have been hung on the wall by Qian Xin and worshiped day and night.

"Hey! Has Divine Grace Continent been updated?"

Qian Xin had just finished washing up and was about to go out for breakfast when he suddenly received a message from a friend.

A friend told him that "God's Grace Continent" has been updated, and a "Professional Edition" with more powerful functions, more detailed picture quality and monthly fee has been launched.After learning the news, Qian Xin stopped caring about eating and quickly turned on the computer and logged into the steam platform to check the details.

It is so!
I saw the details page of "God's Grace Continent". The previous official version and deluxe version were suddenly renamed into personal version and flagship version.

The selling price has not changed.

However, below these two versions, there are new professional versions and personalized customized versions.

The description of the professional version is for enterprise-level "players", which greatly enhances the expressiveness and light and shadow details of the game, and enriches the characters and expressions. The domestic price is 999 yuan/month, and the annual subscription is 1 yuan.

"so expensive!"

Even though Qian Xin made a lot of money from "God's Grace Continent", after seeing the pricing of the professional version, he felt that he couldn't afford it.

There is no price for personalization.

But according to the description, this service is definitely more expensive than the professional version. After all, this version requires customization details to be finalized offline, including maps, NPCs, building models, etc., all of which can be customized.

If you have the strength, you can even customize a set of "God's Grace Continent" with a "modern urban background" and then make an urban love comedy animation.

“I can’t afford personalized customization…”

Qian Xin calculated it and felt that Brother Ba would definitely look down on his financial resources. Talking about personalized customization was tantamount to humiliating himself.

Then open a professional version and try it!

1000 yuan a month is very expensive, but if the effect is really good, judging from the current income of "The Adventures of Jayne", it is still a good deal.

Thinking of this, Qian Xin immediately called all the studio members and bought a professional version of "God's Grace Continent" using his own account.

"Fuck!"

As soon as they entered the game, everyone was shocked.

The picture quality is greatly improved!

This 1000 yuan is well spent. Although the game is still the same game, the improvement in picture quality alone is worth the investment.

After all, for an animation, the most criticized aspect of "The Adventures of Jayne" is the rough and blurry picture quality.

After using the professional version, not only has this problem been solved, but there are even more surprising gains...

That is, in the professional version, the facial expressions of NPCs have finally been optimized and become more like anime characters.

Not only that!

The professional version also provides "screenwriter" mode and "director" mode. After entering screenwriter mode, you can import sound source files and text modifications for game characters.

In director mode, you can use functions such as "time and space review" and "status adjustment".

For example.

If you feel that NPC Jayne's performance is not exciting and dramatic enough, you can use time and space to go back, just like filming NG, keep reshooting and choose the most suitable part.

The status adjustment is even more powerful.

In this mode, players can modify the basic status of a certain NPC and even define some hidden attributes, just like opening the GM backend, which is highly scalable.

"It's money well spent..."

After experiencing the functions of the professional version of "God's Grace Continent", Qian Xin praised Brother Ba for being awesome. The professional version is really too powerful.

If we say that the personal version of "God's Grace Continent" is at best a new TV player from another world, the role of "watching animation" is greater than "making animation".

So in the professional version, the role of animation is maximized. Everyone can use "God's Grace Continent" to create their favorite animations from another world.

1000 yuan a month is expensive?

At 1 yuan a month, it is difficult for you to hire a professional animator, and people may even think your salary is too low.

But for one-tenth of the price, you don’t need to hire an animator. You can directly use your creativity in "God's Grace Continent" and use your imagination to your heart's content, and you can produce wonderful toilet paper animations from another world.

Do you still think it’s expensive now?

The functions of the professional version of "God's Grace Continent" are so powerful that Qian Xin finds it incredible.

He didn't dare to think about what the "personalized customized version" would look like with a higher price and the cooperation details needed to be finalized offline. It must be more powerful, right?
"Hurry up!"

"Immediately inform the audience that "The Adventures of Jayne" will be produced using the professional version of Divine Grace Continent, ushering in a comprehensive upgrade."

Qian Xin ordered: "Xiao Wang, go and import the archive. We will work overtime today to rush out an episode of "The Adventures of Jayne"."

"But we only bought a professional version!"

Xiao Wang raised his hand and said weakly: "On other computers, the personal version of "God's Grace Continent" is installed, the one worth 68 yuan."

Qian Xin: "..."

Damn it, forget about this!

There are five people in the studio. Leaving aside post-production editing and audio track synthesis, they have to buy at least three copies to use it, and one copy costs 1000 yuan/month.

Brother Ba, are you trying to steal money?

……

Chen Ba also did not expect that after the release of the professional version, it would be loved and praised by so many animation professionals.

Although the sales volume of the professional version is not even 200 copies, compared to the sales volume of nearly [-] million copies of the personal version, it is really not enough.

But the professional version costs 1000 yuan per copy, and it is charged monthly and can be credited to your account every month. It is much easier to make money than the personal version.

"Brother Ba, I don't want to play games anymore."

"Me too……"

How much money can you make making games?You’ve already made a fortune selling software!If you look at the sales volume of the professional version, you will know that it is less than a thousand copies, but it contributed nearly one million in revenue.

And this money comes every month, which is really a huge profit!

The more Chen Ba thought about it, the more he realized that it was a mistake for him to enter the gaming industry in the first place.

If I had known that making software was so profitable, I should have engaged in software development instead of making bullshit games.

But if you do what you love, you have to choose your own path, and you have to go down the road if you bite the bullet.

the most important is……

The full name of Tiehanhan System is [The Most Hardcore Game Producer System]. Can this thing still be used if he changes his profession?

There are so many bugs in making games. If this thing was used to make software, Chen Ba would not dare to think about the consequences.

Moreover, without Tianba Studio, wouldn’t it be a huge loss for the game industry?Players will not be able to play a variety of fun games.

What a pity!
"By the way, isn't there any animation company that buys personalized customization services?" Chen Ba asked.

"not yet."

Xiao Lu shook his head and said: "Everyone seems to be very satisfied with the professional version of "God's Grace Continent". As for personalized customization, they think that Brother Ba, you are so good at killing them."

Chen Ba murmured to himself: "How did they guess it?"

Should not be!

He hasn't swung his knife to start slaughtering, and all the fat pigs have been scared away. So who will make up for the nutrition he lacks?
