The time came to July 20. At more than 20 p.m., many people in other project teams of the company had left the company after work. Fang Zhe and his team were working overtime and busy with their own work except that the server-side program had left because of something.
At this time, Shen Liang, a colleague in charge of art, came to talk to Fang zhe about something. Fang zhe put down his work and went into the small conference room with him.
"Ah Zhe, I have some ideas about the scene and art style. I want to talk to you." after entering the door, Shen Liang opened his mouth first. For the boss who is 6 years younger than himself, Shen Liang is still a little uncomfortable. If you don't say anything else, it's inappropriate to call him president Fang, boss Fang and brother Fang. It's really because Fang Zhe is young and has no qualifications for a few days.
However, Shen Liang still recognizes Fang Zhe's ability. Fang zhe has his own set of ways to control the progress and coordinate the work between program art planning.
To Shen Liang, it seems that Fang Zhe's ability is not much worse than his original boss of the project team, and in some aspects, it is also better than his original boss, such as controlling the direction, implementation effect and progress of the project.
Therefore, today, he talked to Fang zhe after careful consideration. In the original project team, he was the backbone of the art team. This time, the company set up a new project team. In order to go further, he applied for transfer.
However, he thought he could show his skills after coming here, but Fang zhe had a quite complete plan and idea for the art style and content, which made him feel that there was no place for heroes.
Until today, after completing the work related to some art resources such as buttons and interfaces in the game, he began to do scenes. He suddenly felt inspired and couldn't restrain his excitement. He came to Fang Zhe to talk about his ideas after calculating the art progress and possible impact on the overall project progress in detail.
"I think the overall art style of our scenes and games can be changed to the style with the theme of the Olympic Games." Shen Liang said his own ideas.
"Olympic Games?" listening to him, Fang zhe also has a bright feeling in front of him. Yes, now the Yanjing Olympic Games will open soon, and the eyes of the whole world are gathered here.
Although he had some thoughts in his heart, Fang zhe didn't mean to speak. He waited for Shen Liang to finish his thoughts.
"I've calculated in detail. The art work we completed before basically doesn't involve much style change. It's mainly the scene to start next. Because the scene is a fine work, we temporarily designed five scenes in the first edition of our plan. Except for the simple wooden knife pattern scene guided by the novice, the rest takes three to five days Time.
In particular, the main scene of the game takes about a week to achieve the desired effect. Therefore, once the style is determined and then changed, it may seriously affect the progress of game development. "
"Ah Zhe, you mentioned before that the style design with RB Ninja culture as the historical background is also very good. After all, Rb culture is still very popular all over the world, but there are not enough hot spots. The people who like this style are relatively scattered.
The Olympic Games is a grand event attracting worldwide attention. With the arrival of Yanjing Olympic Games, the popularity of Olympic culture and Chinese culture has been very high all over the world. If we can design games with the combination of Chinese traditional culture and Olympic culture, we believe it can be easier to spread and even form explosive points than RB culture. "
Shen Liang said a lot in one breath. After Fang zhe heard it, he already affirmed his ideas in his heart. At the same time, he also secretly said that he was trapped in the thinking pattern and thought that this game was designed like this in his previous life. Now it should be designed like this. He can achieve the ideal effect as long as he changes and optimizes it on the basis of it.
To put it bluntly, this is the mentality copied by most unsophisticated game practitioners. Fang zhe was the same before. He thought that since others could succeed in doing so in previous lives, he would like to do the same himself. There is little risk and great benefit, so he doesn't have to use his head.
Now, if we want to continue with this mentality, Fang zhe will always be just an ordinary producer who doesn't enter the stream. The so-called "learn from me", like me, die, no matter which industry, people who understand only plagiarism will slowly be eliminated. Only those who can learn from others the merits of others, take the essence, remove the dross, and form their own style, can flourishing and create fine products.
Shen Liang didn't interrupt Fang Zhe's meditation. He said everything he should say. Now it's up to the temporary boss to listen to his opinions.
On the surface, whether Fang zhe agrees to change the style or not, Shen Liang will do it according to his ideas, but in his heart, if Fang zhe still adheres to his own ideas and continues to do the scene and background of Ninja style, he will lose the recognition of the other zhe as the boss in his heart, and then he will only finish the work as soon as possible and return to the original project team according to Fang Zhe's requirements.
Since you can't show your skills and just be someone else's cash puppet, what's the meaning of staying in this project team? It's better to go back to the original project team. At least the art director of the original project team will listen to his opinions.
After five minutes, Fang Zhe, who had been thinking for a long time, said:
"What you said is really good. At present, there is still a month before the opening of the Olympic Games. Even if we reserve the time for arraignment and some accidents, as long as we hurry, we can ensure that we can play online before or during the Olympic Games."
"I personally agree to change to the Olympic style. Our operation and promotion ability are very weak. If we design according to the previous style, we can only rely on natural quantity to slowly accumulate public praise.
However, if we combine the traditional Chinese culture with the Olympic cultural style, we can take advantage of the opportunity of the world's attention to China in the Olympic Games and make it easier to be popular. In the later version update, we can also cater to the way of hot spot tracking, such as designing the scene style of Western Halloween, Christmas and other festivals. "
Fang zhe thought about it. When it comes to style changes, he still needs to hold a meeting with the whole group to discuss and study.
"Wait, I'll call everyone in the group. Let's have a meeting!"
Fang Zhe's determination is always very simple. Compare the two schemes and choose a good one. If you choose one of them and still think about the other, you can directly choose the other.
Now, when he decided to use the combination of Chinese traditional culture and Olympic culture for the scene and background in the game, he didn't think about the original Ninja style in his heart.
The people in the group agreed to change the game style to the soft part of Chinese traditional culture and the Olympic cultural style, not only because this style is easier to form popular money, but also because all the people present are Chinese, and they naturally agree with the design of Chinese traditional cultural style.
The meeting discussed the possible impact of changing the style, including the impact on the completed work and the planned work, as well as the game name, sound effects, background music, multilingual translation, etc.
In addition, many things about the Olympic Games have copyright protection, so how to make users feel the atmosphere of the Olympic Games directly from the game without infringing relevant copyright is also a difficult problem that people need to discuss.
After a detailed evaluation, Fang zhe believes that the estimated benefits of the replacement far exceed the costs to be paid, because most of the contents related to the style change are only planned at this time, so we only need to study and change the plan.
According to the character of his previous life, Fang zhe may not agree to such a big plan modification, but now, whether from the team members' fuller enthusiasm than before or everyone's optimistic attitude after the replacement, Fang zhe believes that the replacement is successful.
The meeting lasted more than an hour, and all the team members participated in the discussion of the matters related to their respective responsibilities. Although the server-side program was not present, there were few changes related to his work. Just inform him about the style change later, so the meeting basically established the work plan and content later.
The original game name "fruit ninja" was also voted to be changed to "fruit Games" at this meeting.
Although some team members mentioned that it would be better to use fruit for the Olympic Games, but it can't stand the word Olympic Games, but it has copyright. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Fang zhe carefully didn't use the name.
In addition, the game is operated for a long time. When the hot spots of the Olympic Games pass, they have to track other hot spots. At that time, the name of fruit Olympic Games is not appropriate.
