Chapter 36： Game element

Next, I mainly talked to Wang Ye, Li Ran and Ye Bin about the realization of modern effects such as physics in the game, as well as the general direction of the weak system, and Chen Shu mentioned the original paintings of the eight protagonists in the game. Pixel style.

With the template in the dream memory as a reference, Yang Chen can give a very clear requirement for the art requirements. It does not need to be like a half-exploration state for art when most games are developed.

As for whether it is exactly the same as in the dream memory, of course it is negative. According to the requirements provided by Yang Chen, including color and shape and style, it can be said that Chen Shu can find that style as long as it can be found, even if the characters look different, but It's completely OK.

At the same time, Yang Chen also talked to Chen Shu and the four of them about the outsourcing on the dream chase side. Previously in the follow-up content of "The Combination of Isaac", they already had corresponding work contact with the dream chase side, and This time Yang Chen wouldn't talk to the dream chasing side to ask for these.

Instead, tell them some of the main requirements of the game, and then let them contact the dream chase and connect them.

Yang Chen himself needs to focus on the lens design in the game, as well as the numerical value, skill design, and plot copy.

Compared to other game designers who are distressed, but also very complex, need to consider in many aspects of testing, research things.

For Yang Chen, who has a dream memory, it is simpler, because there is already a very mature template in my mind, and I only need to make subsequent corrections based on the template in my mind. Basically There will not be too many problems.

Like the effect of light and shadow, with the texture of the picture in the game, these situations are in contrast. Yang Chen can directly express his requirements directly with the outsourcing without consulting with the core team and then determining the direction.

Distribute the GDD document design plan to everyone in advance, let them think about it first, and develop the demo of the game in the early stage.

With outsourcing, the existence of official game engines, and editors, the biggest difficulty of game production is not in the composition of the code, but in the production of art materials, as well as the realization of numerical values ​​in the game, and the main core of the game How to play.

Values ​​also have core gameplay. These two points are not a big problem for Yang Chen. The main time consuming is art.

After the four people left the office and returned to work, Wang Yaliang, who had not understood anything for a long time, faced Yang Chen: "A Chen, what do I do? I can't watch the drama in the office every day? Is it boring? !"

Wang Yaliang's face was a bit boring. Although she was asked to manage personnel and finance, the current Xingyun studio is just a small workshop. There is no need to be busy.

sat in the office all day and played games to see the drama and then came home from get off work, which always made her feel a little bored.

"Then just come to help me run the game community, and have an official account." Yang Chen thought for a while and said.

Although he thought that Wang Yaliang didn't have to worry about this all day, just watch the show.

But think about it in empathy, if you let yourself like this, I'm afraid he won't be willing.

For example, the operation and management of the game community in "The Combination of Isaac" are all handed over to the Galaxy Network, because he does not have time to manage this aspect. Also including his official account, he rarely logs in to see it. It is precisely in this regard that Wang Yaliang can help him deal with it.

"No problem!" Wang Yaliang said happily.

"However, it seems that they know our relationship?" Pointing to another office, Wang Yaliang thought of what Yang Chen said.

"Know if you know it, but it's not a big deal." Reorganizing the game design documents, Yang Chenman said carelessly.

Although they did not make it clear in this regard, they did not hide anything at all, and it was not a shady thing.

The entire game has entered the stage of preliminary development, and then the things in his hand will gradually come out, the plot also needs data and the design of the monster market value, all of which are under his responsibility, even if there is dream memory as For reference, his task is also quite heavy.

First of all, the ordinary template design is used to perfect the design of the weak system mentioned by Yang Chen in the game. At the same time, the art material is slowly produced and then added later. The same is true of the plot performance. These things are not Anxious.

…………

After confirming the main work, some related contracts were signed with Dreamcatcher, and then the development cycle was dull.

After the sales of "The Combination of Isaac" exceeded one million, the new content has once again increased the stimulus sales, but the increase has been very small.

From the original sales of tens of thousands of copies per day, to now only about a few hundred copies can be sold each day, but for Nebulas Studios, the biggest advantage is not much lack of money.

Money is in hand, many of them are not very professional things, can be completely handed over to third-party companies for outsourcing.

If quality is available, everything is easy to say.

Inside the Nebula office.

"This dancer is so pitiful, how do you write such a plot?" Looking at the background of Yang Chen's hand, Wang Yaliang said very unhappy.

is just like most people read novels, play games, and like to substitute themselves into characters.

Kill the protagonist of the Quartet, you may not feel very happy, because I have seen a lot, but you will never feel stumped.

And some characters who have experienced misery will make you feel uncomfortable, especially if you put yourself in.

"From being a rich girl to a street dancer, and making her a slave to others, it's too bad." Wang Yaliang looked at Yang Chen and expressed his unhappiness.

"The plot needs, art processing." Yang Chen smiled bitterly at Wang Yaliang's complaint.

This is his beautification.

The game in the original dream memory has some hints of SEX on the background of the dancer, but after thinking about it, Yang Chen directly canceled this element.

Tragedy and tragic encounters can indeed resonate with players, and even mobilize players' emotions. Yang Chen also has a very deep memory.

For example, in a dream memory, he played a character in a game called Final Fantasy 7: Zacks. UU reading book

But if this kind of tragic, need to add elements like dark SEX, Yang Chen does not want to go too much description, after all, this is not butter.

So on this, Yang Chen replaced some of the more explicit plots. As for the new plot players, would they think it was the player’s thing in that respect? Anyway, Yang Chen’s newly changed plot document does not have this aspect. the meaning of.

You can say that this is to make the game more real, but there are many ways to reflect the tragic, but using SEX makes Yang Chen not like it.

For the addition of SEX elements to the game, Yang Chen actually feels nothing. For example, some 3A games will also add SEX elements for some gimmicks and better commercialization.

The SEX element can be used to embody the misery of the character. In fact, Yang Chen is still reluctant to do this. Yang Chen prefers a game called Dream Warlock Pile Driver 3 in the dream memory. In addition to his plot performance, and the huge and free game world, the most impressive thing about him is the piling plot.

As for the dark aspect of the SEX element that reflects the tragic encounter of the character, if you really want to join, it is better to go back and engage in a game like the black beast, the devil knight, the ninja, the knight knight in the dream memory, and ensure that it is more eye-catching. .

Talked to Wang Yaliang and Yang Chen refocused his attention on the drawing in front of him.

This is a conceptual illustration drawn by Chen Shu according to the characteristics given by Yang Chen. Of course, it is a pure line draft that has not been colored yet.

After reading a few photos, Yang Chen nodded gently and frowned at the same time.

After picking up the pen next to it and typing a few symbols on it, Yang Chen called in Chen Shu, who was in the process of creating.
