Now I am looking at the research, and I am absolutely sorry to lie in the corpse.

"You ...... Great ......."

Senxia looked at the group of people in a cold sweat.

After class, they were dragged to the current research institute by Qianjia, just in time for December, to make the first chapter of the game.

It's not an easy thing to do.

Although there are templates available, it is not easy to make a game.

Sen Xia put down the cauldron in his hand: "This is stewed chicken soup." ”

When Sen Xia came, he asked Xiyan to squat and come over with a pot of chicken soup.

He knew that everyone was working hard, but he didn't expect that when he came over, they were all lying on their corpses.

"Everyone did their best. ”

Kenichi Aso crawled over weakly.

His eyes had been spent, and he couldn't see clearly what was in front of him, so he had to rest for a while, and as for the others, he was numb looking at the computer screen in front of the computer at this time.

At the beginning, everyone was quite excited and happy.

But now, there is no excitement left.

At this moment, they are looking at the computer screen here, and their hearts are not fluctuating.

"Yo, Senxia. Qianjia also came over at this time.

She had just gone out to wash her face, and she was quite energetic at the moment.

"Senior sister, this is the chicken soup made by Xiyan. Senxia said.

"Well, it's okay anyway. I've been rushing to work these days, what's the situation on the giant hard side?" Qianjia is still concerned about things outside.

"Well, as I expected, they're throwing a lot of money, as expected. Sen Xia said, "I have taken out some money here and am going to do a little support plan in a big eastern country, and I am doing quite well now." ”

"Yes. Qianjia picked up a bowl of hot chicken soup and began to drink it, and Senxia also brought a bowl of chicken soup to the others.

When Senxia came back, Qianjia asked again, "How is the A company?"

"It's fine. However, the current game development cycle is getting longer and longer, and there may be several production teams there. ”

After entering the new century, the R&D cycle of games is getting longer and longer, and it takes several years to produce a triple-A masterpiece, and it is almost impossible to make a large-scale game in a year or two as before.

Therefore, in order for the company's R&D to continue smoothly, the major studios under Company A need to be "separated".

There was a wave of division here, but it was only a rough distribution, that is, Miyazaki Hideko was just assigned.

In fact, on the internal side, especially at the headquarters, there are still a lot of things that are mixed up.

When the volume is small, there is no problem in doing this, and everyone helps each other to improve efficiency.

But as the company grows, if you continue to be unclear about the situation, the situation will become more delicate and the team may become more and more bloated.

"Well, I'm in favor of that, too. ”

Chika finished drinking the chicken soup, then beckoned to Mori Natsu, and then closed her eyes.

Senxia shook his head slightly, walked over, and skillfully began to massage Qianjia's temples.

"How's From_Software going?" asked Qianjia again.

"The acquisition has been done, and now it's ready to start making an Evangelion game. ”

The game of Evangelion is the game I talked about with Hideaki Anno before.

This game has been prepared for a long time.

But at that time, Company A was still not very prepared.

But at this time, Senxia thought of this FS club.

This is Hidetaka Miyazaki's "old club" in another world line, but in this world line, this club was acquired by Hidetaka Miyazaki.

Let's just say that this change in the world line is really magical and interesting.

"There are a few versions of the plan over there. Senxia thought about it, and then sorted it out.

"The first set of plans is to produce according to the content of the animation plot, and the main plot is to reproduce from the animation plot, mainly focusing on the scene and performance of the battle screen, focusing on the battle. It's a feeling of an ACT game that focuses on expressiveness. ”

"The second plan is the escape series that they came up with based on the approach we proposed earlier. This plan is mainly about the story of an ordinary protagonist who is not a driver, who escapes in the disaster of the huge EVA and the apostle. This set of stories pays more attention to the logic of the plot. ”

"The third set of plans is with Shinji Ikari as the protagonist, but it mainly tells the story of a teenager and a girl escaping from EVA and the apostle, focusing more on stream of consciousness and expression. ”

Mori Xia explained the plan given over there.

Sen Xia and Qianjia have also given some plans before.

But that's all a strategy that everyone thought about together before the acquisition.

And when it comes to game production, there are always many options.

It's hard to say how to do it and how to do it.

"So, what are you going to do?" Qianjia asked casually.

"Well, I consulted with the overseer of Anno, and he said...... I want them all. ”

"It's that I didn't hear clearly, or are you insane?"

"Well, what I said is true, I had another meal yesterday with the overseer of Anno, and he said he wanted them all. ”

"......" Qianjia opened her eyes and glanced at Sen Xia, then closed her eyes again. She had already seen through everything: "He is short of money." ”

"Really. ”

Anno is short of money.

He is ready to take the rights of Evangelion himself, and he wants to set up his own animation company to make a new theatrical version of the animation.

However, he was short of money.

So at this time, after hearing that there were three options, he made a decisive choice...... Do it all.

Because of this, Anno was able to get three parts of the payment.

Anno is not a person who does not understand games at all, after all, their own company has developed a very classic DreamWorks series in the past, as well as various breeding programs that have followed.

But this time, Anno is really short of money.

"What about you, what are you going to do?" asked Qianjia again.

"The ACT series is the best way to do it with a complete reproduction of the plot, and there's nothing wrong with telling the genre of ordinary people encountering Evangelion Escape later. In fact, both types of games can only be considered medium-sized games at best, and they can be released in about a year of development. "In the end, the plan is more delicate. The world of this plan has been almost destroyed, and then Shinji Ikari wants to save Limbo Li in this world, and this kind of story means that we need to completely remodel, redesign the story, and rebuild the new system......"

Action games,Senxia is the best at this.。

As for the second escape type of game, there are many references. In fact, "Desperate City" will be launched at the beginning of next year, and Senxia's platform will also have it, so Senxia knows some relevant experience.

It's the third one, and it's a story that continues to develop new game routes. The story is more nuanced.

"So let's do the first two first?"

"No, let's do the third one directly, and then do the first two. ”

"Eh, why the third directly?" asked Qianjia strangely.

"Because this has been in development for the longest time!" Mori Xia explained helplessly, "but Supervisor Anno wants to see the game in '04, so he ......"

More than two years, close to three years, to develop such a game, there is still plenty of time.

But if you make the other two games first and go back to this, then this game might be a bit more subtle.

"And what are you going to do?"

“...... I found a producer and was ready to wait for his plan. ”

Senxia's expression was quite subtle.

"Who is it?"

"That man's name is Ueda Fumito. ”

Yes, Ueda Bunto.

Fumito Ueda, a benevolent brother, used to be the developer of the well-known game "Wanda and the Colossus".

Senxia originally thought that this brother was at Sony.

But then he found that things seemed to change a little bit as he had imagined.

Butterfly wings...... Missed another producer.

Fumito Ueda joined WARP in 1995 and worked on the game "Alien Spirit", which was led by Kenji Iino at the time.

This is similar to the original world line.

However, it is after that that the problem arises.

In the original world online, he should have joined SCE in 1997 as a producer, producing games such as "ICO" and "Wonder and the Colossus".

However, in this world line, the situation is different.

And this matter is related to Kenji Iino.

Kenji Iino is also a pretty good guy.

Kenji Iino is the owner of WARP and a game designer.

The game "D-no-Shizhuo" is regarded as the pioneering work of 3D games.

And Kenji Iino once did a very remarkable thing: that is, at Sony's game show, at the end of his trailer, he said "Our work is going to die, and I won't come to Sony when I die".

It's just personality to the extreme.

Well, it's just too much personality.

However, on another world line, this benevolent brother has fallen with the decline of Sega DC - because Sony can't have him, and Lao Ren doesn't match his style.

It was supposed to leave the mud bomb in bad faith, and then come back more than a decade later, in full swing - and finally die suddenly of illness.

But in this world line, Sega dumped DC to the Order of the Phoenix.

Then, everything changed.

The development of DC changed due to the actions of Mori Xia's side, so Fumito Ueda did not immediately change jobs at that time.

And at this time, Company A began to become famous, and the Order of the Phoenix was also taking DC-P everywhere.

Then, the benevolent brother had an idea in his heart.

Subsequently, he left Kenji Iino like another world line, but he did not go to Sony, but ...... I came to A Company.

And the reason why Mori Xia knew about this was not because of Ueda Bunto, but because Ichiro Kuroshima took a game project called "ICO" from the other party to Mori Xia.

This game, called "Lost in the Castle", should have appeared at the end of this year in the original world line.

But because Senxia's butterfly wings are fanned...... This almost disappeared when he meowed.

Ueda Bunto has always been in the production team of MUV, and then Kuroshima Ichiro is doing the "Japanese version of Minecraft" here, and Takahashi Ryu can't figure out the plot, so he pulls Ueda Literati over to help, not to mention, Ueda Literati's unique literary and artistic style, which suddenly made everyone jump out of the original RPG style of fighting monsters, and everyone suddenly became enlightened.

Coincidentally, at this time, Ueda Bunto said that he also wanted to make a game, and Kuroshima Ichiro recommended it.

Senxia had been trying to find a way to make wonderful games born in advance, but he didn't expect that he almost pitted a deep game, which was a bit subtle.

But fortunately, the game itself is not very difficult, and Ueda Fumito himself has already made a demo with Mori Xia's own engine, so if the game itself wants to be developed, it will be able to come out next year.

So Senxia set the time for this game to be released in the second half of next year - a little later than this world line.

"What about the plot?" Chika didn't know about Ueda Bunto, so she didn't have much emotion.

"Didn't Yukino write a script for RE before, and I'm going to let her take a look. As for the outline, it would be nice to follow what we had in mind. ”

Although the game is in the hands of Fumito Ueda, it is not exactly a game that he makes, and he is a half-cooperative player - because he also has his own projects.

Moreover, Sen Xia just wants the feeling of the other party, but he doesn't fully accept the kind of literary and artistic style that goes deep into the bone marrow and integrates into the evangelion - because the gap between this and the evangelion is quite delicate.

"Well, that's interesting. Chika also had expectations for Yukino's story, "What is the plot like, is it similar to what we discussed last time?"

"Adjusted a little. The story mainly tells the story of the protagonist Shinji Ikari waking up and finding that the surrounding space has changed, and the unknown creature has invaded the third new Tokyo...... Hawkers,After discussing it with Xue Nai.,Maybe there will be a new correction.。 ”

The changes on the outline can't be seen, and the specific design of the story is also seen.

"What about game modes?"

"Well, take the story route. Now that we've got two games to do, we're going to be able to focus entirely on the game this time, and we can remove a little bit of the elements we discussed last time to make the story more pure. ”

The last time Senxia discussed it, it wasn't perfect in terms of design because it was considered that this was an Evangelion series.

But this time, after Anno said "I want it all", the constraints on Mori Xia's side were smaller.

Because if you want to express Evangelion, you can go directly to the robot action game.

And the other side of the disaster series of games, you can also see it up close.

In other words, in the game in front of you, everyone can focus on the story and start from the story.

In a sense, that's a good thing......

......

Information that can be disclosed:

In fact, another reason why Ueda didn't develop the ICO on his own was because of the influence of Mori Xia that he didn't meet Kenhito Kaido, who joined A Company.

That's one of the key elements.

But Mori Xia didn't know Kenhito Kaido...... So......

If there is a discrepancy, it is the difference between the world lines and .JPG

Today's two-in-one.
