Chapter 33： Pixel games, not all to save money

In the office, Yang Chen talked with Hu Jun, and initially determined the follow-up part of "The Combination of Isaac", the optimization of the source code and the subsequent outsourcing of art modeling. At the same time, Yang Chen also revealed that the next may also Let them be responsible for the news of his new game outsourcing.

At present, the studio has three programs and one art. In many places, there is no outsourcing to rely on three people. It is time-consuming and not to mention that the most important thing is that the things made may not meet the quality requirements.

In the simplest terms, in terms of game character and object modeling, unless you choose to directly purchase the modules in the official game engine store, otherwise you can rely on Chen Shu alone, you have to do it in the year of the monkey.

In terms of programming, there are three people, Wang Ye, and the convenient official game engine. This is not too difficult. Outsourcing of the program basically does not need to be found. All you need is art and music. Outsourcing.

And the ability to pursue dreams can still meet the requirements.

gave Wang Ye and Chen Shu their contact details here, and the follow-up work content transfer is their business. Yang Chen needs them to give what they want.

After finishing this matter, Yang Chen returned home, and Yang Chen smelled instant noodles just after arriving home.

Yang Chen looked at sitting in the living room, sitting on the chair with two legs crossed, holding chopsticks in one hand and holding the mobile phone in the other, Wang Yaliang, who chuckled and smirked while eating instant noodles, could not help feeling a speechlessness.

Want to vomit, but don't know what to say.

"Is there a cafeteria in the software park? Why don't you eat in the cafeteria?" Yang Chen, a helpless dynasty, asked.

"It's too late to get off work! There is nothing delicious in the cafeteria of the Software Park at that time." Wang Yaliang took a mouthful of noodles with a grunt, then said with a little grievance.

"Is it possible to eat off work at 5:15? I also deliberately advanced 15 minutes in advance, just to be earlier than other companies, so I can go to the cafeteria to eat first." Yang Chen said helplessly.

"They are so serious at work, I am embarrassed to get off work first, only to wait for them together." Listening to Yang Chen's words, Wang Yaliang was even more aggrieved.

"Okay, okay, I’ll tell them tomorrow, I don’t usually need to work overtime. After all, we didn’t give them overtime pay." Yang Chen shook his head helplessly, walked to the next refrigerator and opened the refrigerator door. A glance at the ingredients inside.

"Don't eat instant noodles. It's bad for your health if you eat too much. I'll make two omelettes for you. It will be done." Yang Chen reached out his hand and threw the instant noodles into the trash can next to it. Take out a small bag of starch and four eggs in the refrigerator.

ten minutes later

"It's a bit salty." Wang Yaliang, who was eating omelette, gave an evaluation.

"Some foods are good. I will go to the room first. I already have an idea for the design of the new game." Yang Chen pouted and stood up and walked quickly towards the room.

"Why do you run so fast?" Wang Yaliang grunted after eating the egg pie in his hand.

But then she suddenly realized what she was looking at the pot on the stove and the bowl in front of her froze.

"Oh, wait till you finish eating, remember to wash the bowl and pot!" At this time, Yang Chen's voice came from the house.

"Ah! Why should I wash it!" Wang Yaliang was surprised.

"Don't cook, just eat the dishes and wash the pot, we have already agreed on it!" A smiley voice continued to come from the house.

seems to be fine, but... I obviously didn't need to wash the dishes when I started eating instant noodles!

Ignoring Wang Yaliang's very wronged voice outside the living room, Yang Chen laughed twice in the room, and after hearing the sound of water from the kitchen outside, carefully opened the bedroom window a little bit, then squatted down and stretched his hand to the bed Fumble underneath.

Ten seconds later, after touching for a long time without touching what he wanted, Yang Chen froze.

Hey, no, what about the cigarettes I hid here?

hurried down and glanced inside, and the box of cigarettes originally placed here became a post-it note.

‘Dear Comrade Lao Yang, when you saw this letter, your cigarettes were already confiscated by me. In addition, I think you have to explain it to me. If you say yes, don’t smoke? Where does this smoke come from? #^.^#’

Yang Chen: ヽ(*.>Д<)o゜

After half an hour...

Yang Chen sat in front of the computer, glanced resentfully at the back of the bed with two feet bare, patting Wang Yaliang on the bed while watching the play, with a cookie stick in his mouth.

"What do you think? Smoking is bad for your health, and you certainly don't want me to smoke second-hand smoke!" Wang Yaliang said very seriously: "Moreover, smoking is easy to kidney deficiency, eat snacks if you want to smoke, use snacks instead of cigarettes to smoke early Quit."

Sounds reasonable, but surely you don’t want to eat snacks yourself?

Yang Chen looked at the three kinds of snacks in front of him in a speechless way. There were a lot of snacks beside Wang Yaliang on the bed.

If you can quit, you can quit, after all, it is really bad for your health, but then again, when did you become addicted to smoking?

shook his head helplessly, no longer thinking about these things, Yang Chen refocused on a document called "Eight Travelers" just opened on the computer in front of him, and continued to start the plot design of the game.

‘Monster: weak system settings, armor value, weakness attributes, break status’

‘Player: BP action points (upper limit) additional general attack opportunities, skill level upgrade lv1’

Just like Yang Chen announced before, this will be a retro JRPG, a pixel style JRPG. UU reading book www. uukanshu.com

But also Yang Chen does not intend to make according to the pixel game. This is not the same as "Isaac's Combination". Because of insufficient funds, I chose to use the pixel-style game. This is a deliberate retro.

is not compromised because of the cost. In order to experience the pixel game and copy the past pixel wind, after all, it is just following the footsteps of the old technology and using modern technology to iterate the pixel wind. This is what Yang Chen and their team need to do.

"3D modeling, plus pixel maps..."

Part of the game screen performance requirements are constantly added by Yang Chen into the design document.

If it is just like "Isaac's Combination", it is not actually a pure pixel style, just put the canvas to the maximum, and then directly draw the pixel painting.

This method is more convenient.

However, in "Eight Travelers", Yang Chen wants a more refined style of painting. This requires the painter to first create a clear version of the color as a draft, and then nest it into a dedicated pixel painting template, one by one. Point out, which color to use, after repeated consideration.

This is definitely about to explode in terms of cost. The real pixel style is actually a very laborious and expensive style.

(The best cost-saving method for independent games is to do that kind of vector style. It is similar to the Cavaliers and the early Isaac. If the Cavaliers are to be pixels, then the cost may be more than three times higher. And Isaac was the first to make money, and then the rebirth series began to take the pixel style)

Even pixel painting is still a separate artistic style, and the pixel style of most independent games is actually not a pure pixel.

Visually, ordinary players who haven't studied can't distinguish the difference.
