"Yes, take an hour every day during work hours for a dedicated game experience, and then I need you to give me a game perception of not less than 500 words every three days." Yang Chen nodded and confirmed their doubts.
Are you kidding me?
Chen Shu’s expressions are four people: o((⊙﹏⊙))o
What is the average player's impression of game practitioners?
Working in a highly sci-fi office, with creative ideas gathered in groups of three and drinking coffee, a wave of brainstorming, or work tired to relax a game?
Indeed, this is the case, but this is the treatment of a large game factory. Most small game production is done in a small office, sitting in front of the computer like a worker on the assembly line, doing unskilled repeating work.
As for playing games during working hours?
In addition to the special positions such as testing and numerical values, actual testing is required. The rest of the positions to play, even the games made by your own home, have broken your legs!
"Of course this is a job requirement. The games you play are limited. Everyone’s computer has a TXT file on the desktop, which is the account of the official game platform. The games you need to play, I have given you in advance. Buy it and buy it."
But when they were happy to see the game in the computer, they were startled.
"Are all JRPG games of the last century?" Everyone looked at the hard disk, and the total size of more than a dozen games was less than 1 G. It was quite speechless.
"Okay, everyone at this age, if you played games as a kid, you must be familiar with these." Yang Chen said with a smile.
Until now, Chen Chen still remembers how he was shocked when he first played this kind of game.
At that time, the graphics technology was not as exaggerated as it is now, and even immersive VR had already broken through. At that time, the mainstream games were limited by the performance of the function, which was mainly based on pixels.
The game that Yang Chen saw in the memory of dreams made him feel familiar with a very special pixel style, so he decided to let him develop a game like that after "The Combination of Isaac".
As for making money, Yang Chen didn't really think too much when deciding which game to choose.
Because "Isaac's Combination" has been successful, even if you don't play games, the money earned by "Isaac's Combination" is enough for him and Wang Yaliang to live happily in the small city of his hometown. For a lifetime.
To say that he doesn't want to make money, it is also a conscience to speak. Compared with the goal of making money, he wants to show those dream memories in his mind to others.
Show the game culture of another world to the players of this world.
"But President Yang, pure pixel style, players may not buy it, after all, pixels are just pixels." Wang Ye watched Yang Chen once again raised his concerns.
Many players think that the memories in their minds are really put in the present moment and are not as good as they think. If you have played some games as a kid, you feel that they are particularly fun and special. It may not be possible to forget and grow up in this life. After faced with countless 3A masterpieces still feeling, how amazing and powerful that game was.
But it really makes you go to play that game again, even if the HD is remastered, how many people can continue to play it? The rest is just feelings.
For example, Yang Chen has seen several games in his dream memory. One of them is the remake of Resident Evil 2. More than a decade later, a remake was launched, but it’s not so much a remake as a complete remake. A game.
In addition to the general plot and tasks, you can hardly find the same place in the gameplay settings. The operation methods, perspectives, and battle modes have all undergone current technological innovations, and this has been a great success.
If it is limited by function and technically, then there is no doubt that it will be on the street.
"Packing the beautiful things in my memories is human nature, just like I said before, although the new project is the performance of pixels, but we need to use modern game development technology, physical effects, light and shadow rendering, Including 3D exquisite models, using modern technology to beautify the pixel style." Yang Chen looked at everyone and said.
This is a conclusion he made after studying the game of dream memory in his mind for a long time.
Simply pixels for pixels, after all, it is just repeating the old technology of the past, retro games are not just retro for retro.
Modern game screen technology, blending pixel style, this is the final effect to be shown.
"First complete the follow-up content of "The Combination of Isaac", the corresponding GDD documents are already on your computer, wait a while to take a look at each, and then discuss it about the new project, when next week, I will also tell you in detail." Yang Chen told the four members of the team after answering the questions raised by Wang Ye.
And Wang Yaliang next to him was sitting there, listening to Yang Chen's words, and nodded gently, unconsciously, a picture that I understood.
The work on the first day does not have any specific content. The main thing is to supplement the follow-up content of "The Combination of Isaac". Regarding the support of the server and the construction of the server, Yang Chen of the server has contacted Galaxy Network. Side, they will solve it, just add the interface part on the client.
By the end of the day at work, Yang Chen invested to invite everyone to eat a meal in the hotel, and then go back to each house early. As for social activities like KTV, Yang Chen did not like it when he was still in the company. These things always feel like they are squeezing their own time, and it is only the initial establishment of the project team, and it is not a celebration after the success of the project, so I have not played these virtual things.
The next morning, Yang Chen did not go to the company with Wang Yaliang. Instead, he took a taxi to an outsourcing company ‘Chasing Dreams’, which was previously responsible for the outsourcing work of “The Integration of Isaac”.
"Should I call President Yang now?"
Hu Jun, who is the boss of the company, came to the door to greet Yang Chen with a smile on his face.
There is no way to not laugh. He was also a teenager when he set up a dream chase. At first, he was engaged in self-development, but then he succeeded and failed to engage in several games. Although he did not lose money, he did not make money. This is the way.
But the line of OEM and outsourcing is honestly quite deep. Although the project is not very worrying in the past few years, there is no outsourcing project that can be done.
And this time was different. He never imagined that the 400,000 outsourcing of "Isaac's Combination" from program to art, music, all in one train could achieve such a point.
If you make money, you really don’t make much money. After all, the art, source code, and music are all handled by their outsourcing company. Most of the 400,000 are used to give bonuses to employees.
But not making much money, this is not the key to the problem, the most important thing is the game "The Combination of Isaac".
If you can know in advance, Hu Jun is even willing to post money to let their company to outsource the game.
"Is there any business for President Yang this time?" Hu Jun brought Yang Chen into the office and shouted, "Xiao Zhang, from the cupboard in my office, to two cups of tea."
After Yang Chen and Hu Jun walked into the office, outside the quiet hall, many employees whispered.
‘Awesome! That game sold at least one million copies! ’
‘say this game is all made by us! In addition to the numerical and gameplay design above, all the rest is done by us, that is to say, we are also talents who have done million-selling games? ’
‘It’s recommended that you go to the toilet and take a **** to take photos of yourself. ’
‘Just finished! ’
‘……’
