Chapter 229: Psalm 46
"SCP-5000-Why?" is the beginning of the sixth series of the Foundation, and its quality is unquestionable.
The many projects and sites involved in it are not a problem to put them on the map of "Endless", which encompasses the entire earth.
As for the clues and decryptions that make people's heads big...... Wouldn't it be just right to use it as the main plot line?
Games have a unique advantage in terms of fragmented narratives.
Especially with the advent of "rhymes" – seemingly useless background descriptions that have nothing to do with appearance or function in the description of game items – players have become more and more accustomed to piecing together the outline of the world in the fog from a few words.
There are also players who specialize in puzzle-solving and in-depth analysis of the game world view, and they are more than good at discovering this kind of easter egg-style information, and the more difficult it is, the more exciting they are.
For them, "the plot is too obscure" is not only not a disadvantage, but a plus point worth talking about.
So now, only one last question remains......
"Are we short of a reliable game designer?" After trying to sort out the gameplay of the story mode and not being satisfied with anything, he reinvented the wheel and repeated the process several times.
After all, he didn't formally study game design, and he relied on the original idea of "game prototype" and some of his own brains from the player's point of view, and finally forced to make up the results.
Coupled with the system's invincible procedural generation, it directly runs over many of the problems that game production must face.
But the real game making process can't use these tricks.
"As you can see from some of the changes in the floating studio, we are still far from the formal practitioners. "Rough mechanics can be fooled by creativity and rougher graphics, but when you need to pay attention to detail......
Gotta get another game designer back.
Thinking of starting to act, Guan Li immediately knocked on his exclusive assistant, "System, you go to the Internet to search and see if there are any genius game designers who are at a low point in their lives and need me to save them?"
He looks at those entertainment protagonists who are all looking for a quasi-child, what movie is a director who is poor to bankruptcy in a row but holds a god-level script in his hand, what is a singer who is splashed with dirty water by a thief and is actually an original god, what ......
The system mercilessly debunked: "There is everything in the dream." ”
"Oh, and are there any wild game makers who are poor enough to get their hands on with money?"
"How much?"
“...... Really?"
"Not even less. ”
Making games is a money-consuming task, and many games don't have any commercial value until they are completed, and naturally few capitalists dare to invest.
Many indie gamers work part-time while renewing their dreams, and some are even so poor that they rely on player donations to complete the game.
"Miserable, miserable. Guan Li symbolically sympathized, and immediately began to command the system to check the information, listing all the independent game producers who are relatively short of money in China.
As for why domestic...... On the one hand, because "Endless" is a pure word game, and its main battlefield is the Chinese area after all; on the other hand, most of the team members of "Normal Recovery" are from the West and need to be balanced.
Well, the culture of the East and the West is even, and he thinks that this has the international flavor of the SCP Foundation.
The list is still amazingly long, and it also proves how deep the water is in the game industry.
There seems to be an endless stream of good indie games, and there are only a few of them every year.
However, their backs are littered with the corpses of losers.
More games didn't even have a chance to be released, and they died in the womb.
Guan Li is well aware of the cruelty of competition, so he will never relax the conditions for choosing his companions.
Eliminate game makers with a black history, and then eliminate the genre that is completely incompatible with "Endless", Guan Li patiently searched for the games that the rest of the people were doing, and those that had already started the test also tried it in person, and finally selected a barely satisfied "lucky one".
——Zhu Ze, an all-round game producer who is preparing his first work and a newcomer in the industry who has graduated from the game design major for less than a year.
Born in a program, he taught himself the skills needed for a series of games, such as art, music, and writing, and he could do it on his own.
The reason is just two words: no money!
If you can't really find someone, who wants to make do with it yourself?
However, his grades in school were really good, and it was obvious that he had a lot of ideas in the games in his hands, but the difference was only some experience and enough money.
And these, the Foundation can give him.
Guan Li looked at Zhu Ze's pitiful life experience, "He should be able to apply for the Independent Game Support Fund in this situation, I remember that many large companies are doing this." ”
"Generally, part of the copyright must be given, and it must be listed on the corresponding platform, which is very passive. Those companies can't really do charity. ”
"He doesn't want to give up the rights?"
"More precisely, he is reluctant to accept the conditions of a fee to be put on the shelf. The system paused, and his tone was slightly subtle, "He believes that great games should be generous and selfless, and should not set a fee threshold." ”
"......" Guan Li was also silent.
There is still such an idealist floating in the sky?
"Can you turn around?" the system couldn't help but be a little skeptical.
"It's a little difficult if it's anything else, but this kind of person who believes in games ...... him," he knew what to tempt, "I need you to go to the Copyright Office and find a public speech, called The Secret of Psalm 46." ”
"No problem!" As long as the exact instructions are given, the system is happy to carry them out.
It immediately contacted the Space-Time Copyright Office and began to search for the name, and the whole process was surprisingly quick, with almost no works with the same name and different contents.
This is quite rare in the vast archives of the Copyright Office.
Is it because the name "The Secret of Psalm 46" is too biased?
Guan Li, who received the bilingual text in Chinese and English, opened the document and read through the entire speech again.
Just as he remembers.
The same is thought-provoking.
In his original world, this speech deeply shocked a stubborn and talented madman, giving him inspiration and a direction to move forward, directly contributing to the rise of the indie game era.
If Zhu Ze was also a complete idealist, with a fanatical love for the art genre of games, he would have been impressed.
"Send it. Guan Li's gaze stayed on a certain paragraph of text, and quickly retracted it, and he said to the system, "Send the Chinese version to Zhu Ze's mailbox." ”
Then just wait.
