"I've always believed that all games are about human weakness, and of course, a lot of people don't think that much about it when they plan it. "Seems to have gotten used to staying up late, and Edmund's spirits didn't dip as the night wore on.

Guan Li felt that he was beginning to fall into a state close to euphoria.

Esther glanced at the two men who had come here on behalf of the Foundation, trying to interrupt his continued emotional upsurge, "These theories will have an impact on our cooperation?"

"Basically, no, but you can have. The young man bluntly revealed his intentions, "Unknown is a good game, it's just good, some inspiration, and something missing...... If you don't consider the SCP Foundation. ”

He frowned and pondered how to explain, "I mean—you're clearly not making games for commercial purposes, at least not purely commercially. With so many resources in place, we can consider going further......"

"Well, if you don't have that in mind, you can ignore my words. We can sign the contract now, and Persona will be as satisfying as ever. Edmund said.

After listening to his words, Esther's expression could not be said to be an accident or anything, she relayed these things to Guan Li as they were, and said, "From my personal point of view, Administrator, I suggest you listen to his thoughts?"

"Why?"

"It's a shame to have world-class capital in your hands and use it to gamble on Internet hotspots. ”

The framework of Unspecified comes from a fangame, SCP Secret Laboratory, which retains most of the gameplay while inheriting many of its flaws.

Guan Li didn't put much effort into redesigning it, he originally wanted to use it as a springboard to show the world the SCP Foundation, a transitional use.

Astor took the initiative to mention the cooperation with this project, most of the reasons are the IP behind it, and "Unclear" is the easiest entry point for the entire website.

Under the backdrop of the latecomer "Endless", the presence of this game has diminished again.

The enthusiasm of closed beta players for it is largely based on the setting of the SCP, rather than the gameplay itself.

- It's not that the gameplay is bad, but it's too mediocre compared to the setting.

It remains to be seen what it will achieve in its current form.

"The Unknown could have been better. Edmund wasn't sure if Guan Li could understand, but he had to say it," ...... "Endless" as well. ”

The SCP Foundation was born out of silent solitude.

The game that was born out of it should have the possibility of taking the world by storm.

Because the Foundation is worth it.

"May I ask you for your SCP account name?" Guan Li asked after a moment's pause.

Edmund: "Wilmer. ”

"Wilmer, Personnel Class C, Security Clearance Level 3, first login was 47 days ago, last login was three hours ago. The system read out the full information of this account in Guan Li's ear, "His cumulative online time in "Endless" has exceeded 200 hours, and he also has game records in "Unknown...... Administrator?"

"System, don't read it any further. Guan Li looked at Edmund, who was waiting for an answer, and already had the answer in his heart, "What else can you give besides music?"

Edmund pinched the can of Coke and thought, "My unfinished plan?"

Guan Li: "......"

"Aside from music, it seems that all that's left is money and connections. He counted his strengths, and it seemed that there were only a few of them, "Why don't I make a cameo appearance as a game planner?"

“…… I saw it. ”

Just that time, Edmund talked about the ancient Greek outlook on life from the theory of addiction - flow theory - positive psychology, and then it is estimated that he can beep the meaning of "entertainment to death" in the original intention of the game.

It's really strong in every sense of the word.

However, it is obviously unwise to let such a guy who talks on paper be the chief planner.

Edmund also mentioned in passing that there are more professional floaters among the Foundation's partners, so it can't be his turn.

After going around and around, Persona's main task is back to music.

"Okay, there's nothing to discuss right now. Everybody is here, want to see how we're doing?" Edmund said, grabbing his hair, to the other two who were still conscious.

Esther looked at Guan Li, Guan Li looked at Ye Lingxing and Camilla, who were asleep at some point, "Then ...... them?"

Edmund: "To shout?"

Guan Li: "...... No, let them sleep. ”

If Camilla gets up, he fears that Edmund will be killed.

As a world-renowned music company, Persona has office space commensurate with it.

And these territories are perennially filled with messy things.

- Various brands of computers, various versions of game consoles, various types of musical instruments.

They also converted an entire wall into a display!

The screen was turned on by Edmund, and the sudden light even made Guan Li take a few steps back before he could see what was on it.

Behind a few pieces of software, there are game icons that fill half the screen.

It's all very unfamiliar names.

At least Guan Li was sure he hadn't heard of the games.

"I know too many indie game producers, and I often get some beta versions of unreleased games. Edmund's tone was a blatant show-off, "But I can't show you these games." ”

He clicked on a music file, which was codenamed "DF-0".

"I didn't finish writing the plan for this game for two years, but I wrote several versions of the theme. Edmund began to play, "I'm still hesitating whether it's going to be called 'Dream' or 'Despair.'" ”

The female voice that rises to the beat of the drum is Camilla's voice, and it feels different from the other songs.

Like a bird falling into the abyss, it roars unwillingly and sadly.

One voice after another joined, the multi-channel noise overshadowed the instrument, and the emotions were suppressed, layered high, and finally bloomed upward.

All the vocals disappeared in an instant, and the violin became the main theme.

"This paragraph is 'fate'. Edmund explained, "It's also a tentative name." ”

Dream/Despair - Fate - Memory - Escape - Relief - Sacrifice - Roar - Freedom - the same main theme, completely different forms of interpretation, the changing emotions and the music are perfectly integrated.

"I'm telling you this, I'm actually asking the SCP if they'd like to try that idea too. He paused the tune and said, "In words you can understand — a unified 'core melody.'" ”

Not for "Unknown", but for the entire "SCP Foundation".

A "core melody" that represents the Foundation as a whole, a "musical marker" that reminds the listener of SCP no matter how it is played.

Similar practices are not uncommon.

Many game series have a theme song that has been used for more than ten years, and that melody is firmly tied to the main body of the game.

Edmund wanted to be the best at this, "to make the entire IP of SCP Foundation a fixed key, deeply embedded in people's subconscious, and no matter how the tune changes, it will be closely associated with the name of the Foundation." ”

Guan Li: "Can you do it?"

Edmund: "Probably not, my words. ”

“……”

"Maybe you can try it with other people, such as several bands in "Supreme Voice......"

“……”

"Do you want me to contact them? It's a little too late today, maybe tomorrow ......."

"No, I don't. Guan Li thought that he was whimsical enough, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him could be even more powerful, but it was not impossible to achieve it, "I have a suitable person here." ”

And who better to do this job than the muse?
