  Chapter 99 Horror game universe setting (2 chapters in 1)

but

   To make "Control Failure" more comprehensive and more fun, it is best to add a few more exceptions.

  However, there are more than 6999 abnormalities, how can Meng Shu remember them all?

  Even if you have an excellent memory, you can’t do it.

   Not to mention 6999, he can only think of the first 999, not more than 30.

   And these 30 can only be known roughly, such as what kind of abilities and characteristics the exception has, that's all.

  Others, including experimental records, have long lost their memory.

  Although he knew that the conceptual design of the game definitely contained the abnormal documents such as W-FBC-0173 and A-FBC-0106 that were supposed to appear in the game.

  But what Meng Shu wants to do more is to add more things to fill the game to the brim and add enough fun.

   Give players a feeling that everything is fresh, interesting and worth exploring.

  I want players to know the charm and magic of these abnormalities.

   There is no way I can’t think of it.

   or

   Make it up yourself?

   As soon as this idea came up, Meng Shu immediately vetoed it.

  He doesn't have the ability, the time, and the level.

  The abnormal record document is full of professionalism and professional terms, and every line and sentence is an objective fact.

  In terms of content description, almost no personal opinions are mixed in it, and it has always been field records.

   Therefore, every document looks so convincing and appealing.

   is also a fascinating charm.

  But if there is really no one, I can only give up.

  Just use the exceptions in the game itself.

  Meng Shu shook his head regretfully, and clicked on the "Control Failure" folder, planning to go through the conceptual design inside.

result

   He froze.

   Immediately afterwards, his eyes widened in disbelief.

   "Am I dreaming?"

  Meng Shu looked surprised. There was an extra folder in the "Control Failure" folder.

   The name of this folder is simple.

  ‘A complete collection of abnormal data. '

   Its meaning is self-evident.

  Meng Shu quickly double-clicked to open it, and he was stunned.

   Then, he smiled.

  On the computer, 6999 PPTs are listed in front of you.

   What is it if it is not an exception?

  He clicked on the abnormal PPT of W-FBC-0087.

   Sure enough, there are not only project numbers, but also project levels, control measures and project descriptions.

  Because it is a PPT, jump links can also be inserted in a slide to jump between multiple pages.

  W-FBC-0087's three experiment records are also inside.

   And it's just as creepy as it was when I first saw it.

  The description has not been deleted.

  Meng Shu clicked on a few more PPTs with experimental records in his impression, and sure enough, they were very complete.

   There are not only experimental records, but also derived event stories.

   He couldn't help laughing again.

   "It's really hard to find a place to go through the iron shoes. It doesn't take much effort to get here."

  Thinking about it, but I never thought that these are included in the concept design folder of the game!

  But he doesn't care why there is such a comprehensive abnormal document in the game "Control Failure", and it is also made into a PPT.

   All he knew was that the production team might have big ambitions, but it's a pity for the production team.

  Looking at the dazzling array of anomalous files in front of him, Meng Shu suddenly had a plan in mind.

  Since you have such a complete set of things in your hands, and this world happens to not have these, and the next game will need these.

So

   Why don't I carry it.

   In this parallel world, spread the word!

  Let the whole world know this charming personal creation literature!

  Xia Nianzhen, Xu Hong, Qiu Yuan, and Chen An walked into the meeting room with their notebooks.

   Then he found a seat and sat down, waiting for Boss Meng to arrive.

   Just now, a meeting notice popped up in the company's V letter group.

  Xia Nianzhen and the others who were working suddenly thumped in their hearts, looked at each other, and began to guess in their hearts.

   Probably not.

   Another new work, right?

  Our boss seems to be playing games too often.

   You must know that you are still working **** the VR version of "Dark Forest"!

   If it’s a new work, it’s a bit more work

   will be overwhelmed

  Xia Nianzhen shook her head, telling herself not to think too much.

   Wait for the boss to come and take a look.

   As soon as she thought about it, Boss Meng walked in with her laptop in her arms.

   Several people saw this posture and immediately understood that this meeting was really about new works!

  Mom!

   "Mountain of the Sky" has only been released for less than half a year, and the value has not been squeezed out yet, is a new work about to start! ?

  But Xia Nianzhen and the others thought about it again, and suddenly understood it again.

  The popularity of a game can last up to half a year.

   Now developing a new game, take Boss Meng’s mysterious development team of more than 100 people, and refer to the development cycle of the first four games, as well as the efforts of myself and others.

  Maybe the new work can really have a new and old alternation with "Sky Mountain", and the popularity will remain!

   Make money, don't be fooled.

  I am an employee, as long as I can get the salary and bonus, the boss will do whatever he wants!

  Xia Nianzhen watched Boss Meng insert the USB flash drive into the laptop, and then, through the projector, everyone saw the latest PPT file.

   "Failure of Control".

  Seeing this name, the four main employees were all taken aback, and looked at each other curiously.

  The boss even chose the name of the game?

  Generally speaking, in the early stage of game development, isn’t it all temporarily named “Code Name: XXX” or something like that?

   Now that the concept of the game has not yet been introduced, and the gameplay is not known yet, the name of the game has already been thought up?

   And the game name of control failure

   It’s too weird.

   I don't understand what it means at all.

  Although the names of the two games "Sky Mountain" and "Face" were also unclear before development.

  Even now, I don’t understand why the name “Face” was chosen.

  On the projection screen, a PPT called scene art is opened.

   Boss Meng's voice sounded slowly.

   "Okay, now the meeting."

  Xia Nianzhen and the others immediately sat upright, holding a pen in their hand, hanging on the open notebook.

   Seeing everyone's correct posture, Meng Shu nodded.

   "First of all, as you can see, this is our company's new game "Control Failure". Of course, the theme is still scary."

   "At present, I have already made the general planning plan of this game. The background of the world view has also been established, and the preliminary work in all aspects has also been completed. Chen An, Xu Hong, we will discuss this issue in detail later."

"You all know the world view of our first four games, which took place in different eras under the same world. The setting of the Federal Bureau of Control that I buried can now also reveal the tip of the iceberg in this game. You can It is understood that this is a horror game universe, which takes place in a horror world view with the existence of the Control Bureau."

   "This "Control Failure" is to convey the concept of horror game universe to players."

  Horror game universe.

  Mission designer Chen An was slightly taken aback, a little surprised.

  He looked up at Boss Meng and the four big characters of control failure behind him, his expression became serious.

   Game Universe

   This is no small matter

  At this time, Boss Meng put his hands on the speech table and continued talking.

   "I don't know if you understand the concept of the game universe, which is different from those sequel games."

   "Our game has a very complete and large world view, with very strict rules. There is also a major setting that is used to support the operation of the entire game world - the Federal Bureau of Control."

   "You can also be understood as the Control Bureau universe."

  “Each of our games will take place in this horror universe and is closely related to the Control Bureau. In other words, it is through the setting of the Control Bureau to derive independent game works.”

""Dark Forest", "Blackjack", "Face" and "Sky Mountain" are all games derived from the setting of the Control Bureau. These four games have their own independent plots, independent gameplay, and independent settings .But they are in the same world view at the same time, and the protagonists are all related to the Control Bureau. So this is the game universe.”

   "In the future, our games will also develop in this direction."

  “I want to give players a way to find easter eggs or related content in other games in existing games. Let them have a surprise and achievement, and keep players in a novelty.”

   "This is different from those games that are called sequels."

"Although the sequel games have the same world view, they are more or less connected with the previous ones. The setting and gameplay are not bad, and the plot is more of the 'follow-up story' of the previous one. Playing, just like It’s like a continuous work. Once the era is broken, you have to make up for the previous work, or go to the cloud.”

"Although this method of expanding the world view is convenient and simple, it is not what I want. I want to avoid the situation where players are 'only playing the sequel, not the previous one'. At the same time, I want to ensure the independence of each game Make them seem to have nothing to do with the previous work, so that there will be no sense of disconnection when playing, and you will not be forced to make up for the previous work.”

  The four people on the conference table nodded their heads.

  The movements of his hands didn't stop at all, and he summarized his understanding in the notebook.

  Designer Chen An hesitated, and raised his hand to ask a question.

   "Well, Mr. Meng, our company lacks a master planner. Without a master planner, your ideas and concepts should not be realized with the four of us alone, because none of us are in the planning direction."

  Meng Shu shook his head and smiled after hearing the words.

   "I know all of this. You all have your own work to do, so don't worry about it falling on you."

   "Your boss is not the kind of person who asks you to do things across disciplines. Our company is not that small."

  After hearing what the boss said, the four of them, except Xu Hong, were all relieved.

  Especially Chen An, his expression seemed to be a lot more relaxed.

   Apparently he held multiple positions at the last company

  Although I don't know what Boss Meng will do, but the professional team of the boss must have many game planners!

   Otherwise, why did four games with complete and subtle plots come out so quickly?

  Meng Shu didn't know that his four employees began to imagine the non-existent professional team again.

  He paused for a moment, then continued to speak, but Chen An and the others were stunned in place.

   "Besides, this world view, as I said just now, has already been set. What is missing is the events that I mentioned can be adapted into games. But these are also responsible for it."

What! ?

  Chen An and the others looked surprised.

   After working on it for a long time, it turns out that this huge world view that makes my brain hurt already exists! ?

  When the boss said that there is a world view, Chen An thought he was talking about the world view from the "well mouth perspective" of the game "Control Invalidation".

   It turned out not to be!

   But already have!

   And in the future, someone will be responsible for writing the plot of the game! ?

correct!

   It must be Mr. Meng's professional team!

Yes!

  Game development is so fast, each game is extremely complete, and the world view is connected.

  Then maybe "Dark Forest" is the first water test under this huge world view! ?

  The more Chen An and others thought about it, the more incredible they became.

  I just feel that the future game development plan will probably be faster and faster with the increase of manpower.

  Boss Meng looked at the employees who were thinking, and tapped on the table to get everyone to focus.

   "But it's not good to keep making independent games, even if the world view is huge, it won't work if the games are too scattered."

   "So, a centralized world view is needed. And this thing is the Federal Bureau of Control."

  “In the future, after every two to three independent games under the horror world view, a game about the Control Bureau itself will be released.”

"For example, this "Control Invalidation" is an event that occurred in the Control Bureau itself. The purpose of this is to let the players understand that the world of the game is not empty. Instead, there is a mysterious organization that appears in front of them all the time. Add some realism. Its effect is similar to the meaning of connecting several scattered games secretly."

   "We want players to know that our game world view is not expressed by text descriptions and settings like other games. Instead, it is real and understood through game experience!"

   "We want players to experience each independent event game under this huge world view, to discover the behind-the-scenes plot stories and understand the world settings! Let players have a sense of positivity and novelty in exploring the horror world."

   "We want to leave everything to the players. Let them know that they are in a huge game world, in various identities, experiencing one terrifying and dangerous event after another!"

   "Over time, it will attract players who don't play horror games to understand our grand worldview and wonder about this so-called mysterious and wonderful horror world."

   "Keep this rhythm, create a horror IP of our own, let us work together."

   After Meng Shu finished speaking, he clenched his fist with his right hand and made a pumping movement on his chest.

  Chen An and others in the audience applauded enthusiastically.

  My heart is also full of curiosity.

   Horror game universe.

   Really rare!

   Putting all independent games under the same world view, is it really possible to do this! ?

  Chen An didn't know, and couldn't be sure.

  But the success of the four games is already in front of him, and he has to admit that the situation is going in a good direction.

   It is not that no manufacturers have created such a strange game universe before.

   But basically all have failed.

  The reason is simple, the type is restricted!

  If it is a sci-fi game universe, then all the games of this manufacturer, whether it is gun car ball or RPG, must be future sci-fi.

  This puts an end to magical fantasy, even modern warfare, or historical games.

  If the manufacturer wants to make other types, the game cannot be included in this sci-fi game universe.

  And it is impossible for a manufacturer to be limited to one type, which is tantamount to giving up the interests of other types of markets.

   But over time, if there is no new work to expand the game universe, it will gradually become uninterested and eventually forgotten by the players.

  This is tantamount to setting up this game universe in vain.

   Another reason is that it doesn't make much sense to do so.

  If several games share the same world view, then this game is basically a sequel.

   For example, "Deadly Agent", "Deadly Agent 2", "Deadly Agent 3" and so on.

   Such a form not only has the same world view, but is also convenient to make.

  After all, the ready-made settings are in front of you.

  And for those manufacturers, the development of the game will consume a lot of manpower, material resources and funds.

  With such conditions, I would rather develop a sequel to the game than develop an independent new IP.

  Because the sequel can not only attract fans of the previous game, but also tell new players that my game is so popular that 23456 has been released.

  And for the sequel, the world view of the previous work is convenient and quick to use, and the plot is also very easy to write.

   Therefore, Chen An was surprised when he heard about the horror game universe.

  However, in view of the success of the first four games, and the theme of horror, it will not be restricted by genre at all.

  As long as it is a game, it can be scary!

  For example, the horror of future science fiction, the horror of history, and the horror of modern times.

  If Boss Meng is willing, he can also do magic fantasy horror, martial arts horror and so on.

   All in all, the horror genre is pretty versatile, and the boss seems really keen on making only horror games!

  Following this trend, maybe the horror genre market will really be dominated by one family!

   "Okay, now, let's introduce the monster shape in this game."

   Following Meng Shu's voice, all the employees focused their attention on the projection in front of them.

   And the PPT also turned to the first draft page of the monster design.

  There, there are already various angles of monster shapes displayed.

   The first thing that appeared in front of everyone was the shape and name of the monster named W-FBC-0173.

   Just two words.

   'statue'

   The company has been busy recently, so the update will be later. But this is not enough for eunuchs, they are all booked for 1400+, and 1500 is just around the corner! ! The cute new group I joined now calls me boss when they see me, how could I be a eunuch!
