Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Chapter 207 Childhood Memories in the Making
Drogo really didn't expect that the Digimon battle numerical solution that was urgently needed was found by a person who made animations.

Ignoring the increased violence setting here and only discussing the numerical part, it is quite reasonable.

Even balance and the possibility of subsequent expansion are fully taken into consideration.

The initial value, evolution increase value, and player training value are set for Digimon to constitute the attributes of a Digimon.

The attribute division is very detailed, and the key is that a special level formula has been created to calculate what values ​​Digimon of different strengths should take, so that others can call them directly.

Fully possess the basic qualities of numerical planning.

The most difficult part of numerical design is the beginning of the entire system. As long as the foundation is well built, subsequent maintenance and updates will be easy.

In other words, it will be easier to adjust the KPI in the future. For example, reduce the health by 50 in this version, and adjust it back in the next version...

The document also compiled two complete sets of restraint relationships, including racial restraint and attribute restraint, based on the Digimon types that were only mentioned briefly in the setting collection provided by Drogo.

It is more complete than the simple and crude division into data species, vaccine species and virus species in the original work, and is more suitable for people here to understand.

After all, vaccines and viruses are not concepts that exist here.

Moreover, this is a digital world, so it is somewhat strange that vaccines are used to control viruses.

"Contact Sapphire Art and let them produce the animation for Digimon Adventure."

Drogo said to Aisha, "By the way, contact Joseph Animation and focus on finding the person who wrote this numerical table and ask him to come here."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "No need to tell him that the animation project is handed over to Sapphire Art."

So, the next day.

Since Joseph Animation is in the Twin Towers, their head, Joseph himself, came to the headquarters of the Drogo Group.

It doesn't quite fit Drogo's imagination of the setting madman.

He is neither a nerd obsessed with fantasy, nor the kind of science nerd who feels safe when sitting next to him in an exam.

On the contrary, it's too normal.

Normal is like meeting an ordinary man on the street and finding him a little handsome.

To use the girls' description, this boy is very clean.

Although he didn't know what the word "clean" specifically meant, Zhuogo had indeed heard many girls praise others in this way.

It is inconsistent with the general image of the members in charge of development in the Drogo Group who don't comb their hair or change their clothes.

He is not too old, probably in his early twenties, and still hasn’t passed the local people’s shelf life.

Except for a few people with red, brown or black skin, most of the people in Felin have one magical thing in common: they looked their age when they were young.

But starting in my twenties, it’s as if my skin suddenly realizes that it’s time to enter middle age, and begins to age rapidly.

No matter if he is thirty, forty or fifty, he always looks like he is in his fifties.

"Hello, I am William Joseph, the head of Joseph Animation. I really like the Tom and Jerry you produced. It is simply one level higher than all other animations now, no, several levels higher."

Joseph excitedly introduced himself, showing off the Tom and Jerry top underneath his coat.

Well, now he might not be so clean in the eyes of girls.

"Have you entrusted the production of the animation Digimon Adventure to us? Please believe us, we will definitely make it a classic work that will be written into history."

"We'll talk about the animation in detail later." Drogo motioned for him to sit down first.

"Oh, I'm so excited. I've been waiting for an opportunity to prove myself and prove that there is no problem with our animation art concept, but so far we have only produced one advertising animation short film." Joseph was a little incoherent.

Drogo is very optimistic about this young man. This kind of idealistic young man is the easiest to fool.

"If you hadn't given me this opportunity, I would have been captured and taken back to inherit the family property."

"what?"

Joseph scratched his head a little embarrassedly. "My family is actually the Joseph of Joseph Construction. I am the eldest son in the family. My father said that if I can't make any achievements in the field of animation this year, he would take me back to inherit the group. You saved my artistic dream."

Drogo tactically leaned back, in awe.

If memory serves me correctly, Joseph Construction is a family business that will outlive him.

They have always been the top builders in the Kingdom of Sutton. Of course, there was no Kingdom of Sutton when their family became famous.

They participated in the construction process of many famous cities on the mainland, including Twin Towers City.

So this is a second-generation rich person, no, to be precise, he is rich for several dozen generations.

It turns out that only those who treat life itself as if it were a modifier like themselves like to make things difficult for themselves.

My goodness, it sounds like I've suffered a great injustice when I go back to inherit the family business and tell you about it.

Drogo also wanted to feel wronged. He started out as the White Claw. After all, even the Dragon God was praised at that time.

Now, every penny he earns from starting his own business was earned by him with great effort, one gold coin at a time.

Elsa was watching from the side, puzzled as to what was going on with her boss's sudden sadness.

"Were the setting sets in your sample and the numerical appendixes therein designed by you?" Drogo asked.

From the moment Joseph mentioned inheriting the family business, Drogo knew that the plan of using money to force him to change his career was no longer feasible.

You can only start from emotions and dreams and achieve your goals indirectly.

“I was the leading designer, but all the colleagues in the studio participated. Without them, I would not have been able to complete these contents. Personal ideas are limited, and only through everyone’s cooperation can we achieve greater goals.”

Joseph spoke modestly.

"Then why did you design these values? If you just made samples, it shouldn't be so troublesome."

"That's right." Joseph's tone was full of confidence. At first, Drogo didn't say that they would do the animation, and he was a little nervous inside. Now that he asked him about the numerical design, he must have been impressed by their abilities.

"All of our team members are from the Faculty of Science at Manning University. Because of their majors, when reading many comics, they always feel that the relationship between the strength of the battle is not clear and there is no numerical quantification."

This is still a group of numerical planners.

Zhuogo almost couldn't hold it in. A group of students from the science faculty didn't want to pursue academic studies after graduation, but switched to animation. As a result, while making animations, they spontaneously started to study mathematics.

As expected, the problem of mismatch between majors and employment is very serious everywhere. Many people enter school without knowing much about the major.

In the end, no matter what career you change to, your initial ability points have already been misplaced and will always be influenced by your original major.

Joseph continued, "This time the sample includes a battle, and the data does not give the specific strength of the Digimon, so we thought about how to make the battle here more logical, so we designed attributes, restraint relationships, and skills that can be used.

"After we started designing, we felt that there was a lot of room for improvement, so we roughly quantified the strengths of other types of Digimon based on our own ideas.

“Of course, this version is still very rough, and whether it has sufficient depth and balance has not yet been verified, but I am confident that this system will be perfected in future productions.”

After listening to this, Drogo cleared his throat slightly and said, "I have a better idea. How about this? Why don't you all devote all your efforts to perfecting this system?"

"And then make animation?" Joseph replied, "I originally thought so, but I'm worried that the time limit will not be enough to meet the release date you requested."

"It's okay. We can catch up. I will arrange another team to assist and complete the animation part. You guys just need to focus on the numerical system."

The plan of buying the casket and returning the pearl was launched.

"Okay, let's just..."

Joseph was halfway through his words when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

“We can complete the animation while working on the numerical system.”

"No, no, no, the organization needs you to focus your energy on what you are good at."

"But our dream is to build a fantasy world in animation," Joseph said in a trembling voice.

He seemed to be able to see the boring life of inheriting the family business beckoning to him.

There was no more animation that he loved, even though he had only been into this new hobby for a year.

Before that, their passion was comics, and even earlier it was painting. Everyone in their family had to learn painting.

In the days ahead, I can only count piles of gold coins every day, live in a cold big castle, be served by a group of maids for food and clothing, and have no freedom at all.

Oh my God, what a desperate life that was, and he didn't want to live that kind of life.

Fortunately, he didn't say this aloud, otherwise the hardworking worker Comrade Aisha might not have been able to resist and beat him up.

"Young man, creating a numerical system is also the process of building a fantasy world," Drogo said earnestly.

His expression was just like that of a knowledgeable old dragon in a brave legend who came to guide the protagonist when he was confused.

It’s just that the old dragons in the legends are usually not Drogo’s color.

"How can it be the same?"

Joseph didn't know why, but he felt that the dragon in front of him was speaking very convincingly.

"How can a world belonging to Digimon lack a reasonable numerical system and a perfect strength structure? Your job is to make scattered fantasies truly build a world that can withstand research."

It was worth it that Drogo took a charm-enhancing potion today and wore a charm +1 ring, plus his own high charm value.

Little guy, I can’t fool you?

"But animation..." "Animation is just the tip of the iceberg floating on the sea. Your contribution is the foundation for the tip of the iceberg to float. It is you who make this animation perfectly presented to the audience."

“But I want to draw…”

“You need to think about the whole world instead of focusing on the picture on a small screen. Individual thinking is limited, and only cooperation can achieve greater goals.”

Drogo directly quoted what Joseph had just said.

"And you are the cornerstone of this collaboration, the top priority, the chosen one! What are you?"

"I am William Yo..."

"No, you are the cornerstone! Repeat again, you, what is it?"

"I, I am the cornerstone?"

"Answer me loudly and firmly without hesitation, what are you?"

"I am the cornerstone!"

"what do you?"

"I am the cornerstone!"

……

After repeating it over and over again, Joseph gradually showed a determined look, as if the responsibility of building the Digimon world had been placed on his shoulders.

Elsa, who witnessed the whole process, was somewhat skeptical. Among all the things Drogo had done, those that were taken by force were probably a minority, and the rest must be taken by this mouth.

After a brief brainwashing, no, persuasion, Joseph signed the new contract in a daze.

He also thanked Drogo, "I was too narrow-minded before. Animation is just a form of expression. I want to focus on greater goals."

"What about your studio members?"

"Don't worry, I will teach you the same as I did, so that they can understand the true ideal."

"Take this ring as a gift for discovering your true purpose. I am happy for you."

Charisma +1 transfer.

Go and convince your team members.

Joseph was holding the exquisite looking ring, and was so moved that he was a little incoherent. "You helped me find my target, and gave me such a valuable gift. By the way, what about my father's?"

He remembered the agreement between him and his father. The prerequisite for him to avoid being caught and "tortured" was that he make achievements in animation.

"Don't worry, the achievements of Digimon Adventure are also part of your achievements. Your father will understand. If not, I will help him understand."

"Thank you so much."

Joseph once again expressed his thanks.

"I'll go back now and design a more complete numerical system."

"I wish you success."

Drogo waved his claws goodbye.

On the way out of Drogo Group, Joseph kept repeating himself.

"I am the cornerstone, I am the cornerstone..."

After the "victim" left, Elsa asked in confusion, "Is it necessary to fool a rich fool like this?"

"What do you mean by deception? Besides, he's not a rich fool. Didn't he graduate from a science college?"

Drogo retorted unhappily.

"I was helping him discover what he really wanted in his heart. Didn't you see he left saying thank you?"

"Don't stare at me when you talk!" Elsa put her hands up to cover her eyes. "The effect of your charm potion hasn't worn off yet. Now whatever you say makes sense."

"My dragon charisma is already high, right? Do you know what a hexagonal warrior is?"

The reason why Drogo attaches so much importance to Joseph is not only because of the Digimon project, but also because he will be needed in many future jobs.

MOBA, MMO, these genres with the widest audiences, all require excellent numerical design.

Good numerical planning, like good technical art, has always been a scarce species in the gaming industry, and both require multidisciplinary capabilities.

It requires both mathematical ability, a sensitivity to playability, and a pure love for the world of architecture.

And numbers are not only useful in game making.

If you want to implement numerical payment in the future, it will be helpful to figure out how to set the strength just right to make players uncomfortable, so that they can buy the game while complaining about it and not abandon it.

At present, Drogo has not found a better candidate than Joseph.

The work of the Digimon project's animation group, game group, and hardware production group is all on track and will be officially released soon.

Cornflower Street, Drogo's Toy Store.

Today's Drogo's Toy Store is no longer the stand-alone store it once was.

The original Arkwright's Toy Store across Union Street, and a few other stores on the left and right that were bought and remodeled, together formed Drogo's Toy City.

It has become a famous attraction on this street.

Toy lovers from all over the continent will visit here whenever they come to Twin Towers City. Although the toys of the Drogo Group can be bought in many places, this place is definitely the most complete.

All directly-operated toy stores under the Zhuoge Group will have an exclusive check-in stamp and souvenirs designed based on the local city.

So when those enthusiasts come here, it also feels like a pilgrimage.

Players who have collected all the check-in stamps at the Drogo Toy Store are considered "entry-level" players in the toy forum.

Today, the store, as usual, gathered visitors from all over the mainland.

The original main store now hardly sells toys, but is instead used to display various products that have been released or to preview new toys.

There is also a statue of Drogo outside the store to commemorate the years when Drogo the dragon once lay here.

Every tourist who comes here will habitually touch the faucet of the statue and rub the metal until it is shiny.

It is said to bring good luck.

This really wasn't something Drogo said. He didn't have the habit of letting people touch his statue.

Instead, it is a small story of ambition that came from nowhere, from a mascot lying in front of a small shop to attract children to buy toys, to a business giant with business spread all over the continent.

It was written so vividly that after reading it, Drogo didn't even realize that he had suffered so much injustice.

Then various success books came out.

"Outlier, the Story of the Successful Drogo"

Seven Habits of Highly Effective Yalong

Secrets of the Street Millionaires from Twin Towers

……

Drogo didn't impose any restrictions on this kind of content, but he still sent people to collect copyright fees from every one of them.

You can’t pull out Drogo’s dragon scales.

"Look, there's a new trailer on the magic viewer!" A sharp-eyed tourist was the first to notice the changes on the screen.

A huge countdown, counting down from 10.

Drogo Group likes to launch toys unexpectedly. When the huge magic video machine in the main store starts to display the countdown, it means there will be new things.

So there are always people waiting here, trying to get first-hand information.

"Oh? Why is there new content today? Didn't they just release a new series of Bakugan a few days ago?"

"I guess it's a remake of a classic series, or they just changed the color of some stock and sent it out as new."

People in the store stopped to watch and discuss.

Although Drogo toys bring countless surprises to people, there are not always new toys.

"3, 2, 1!"

As everyone finished counting down in unison, the screen in the magic camera went black, and then Xiao De's singing voice was heard.

"I want to turn into a butterfly,
"Fly high on the breeze—"

Then, a tech-savvy orange-yellow gradient logo with a black outline appeared.

"Digimon Adventure."
