Zeng Xiancheng finally understood why Peng Hui was suddenly interested in games.

Here's why!

I wanted to say that Peng Hui couldn't do it, but I looked around......

Zeng Xiancheng gasped.

Original IP!

It sounds easy, but it's really ......

If nothing else, how much does it cost to invest in the early stage?

"What about you, the original staff remains the same, and then recruit people, on the one hand, in order to supplement your current studio, I see that several people wear multiple hats, so that although it saves money, but the efficiency is too slow, I want speed! After a while, I let the animation department move over, since you are already a studio under Minghui Company, it doesn't hurt to have more contact with each other. ”

"Boss, is it the animation department of "The Return of the Great Sage"?" Zeng Xiancheng asked excitedly.

"Hmm. ”

"Great!" Zeng Xiancheng said excitedly.

"That's right, Shuya's model...... Some of them are too Internet celebrity faces, so I'll go to Ning Dao to borrow motion capture, you guys should familiarize yourself with the use of the equipment as soon as possible, if you are familiar with it, and then see if it is better to replace it. Peng Hui thought about it and said casually.

"Motion capture?Director Ning?'s motion capture of "Crazy Aliens"?" Zeng Xiancheng was stunned.

"Yes, he just has it, so he doesn't have to debug it. Peng Hui said casually.

Zeng Xiancheng was stupid.

Motion capture technology is not a very new technology today, but ......

This technique is expensive!

At the beginning, Ning Hao spent 200 million on the special effects of "Crazy Alien".

A real 200 million!

Such a set of equipment is actually only used to develop games......

Zeng Xiancheng felt that his heart was suddenly a little weaker.

Shaking his dizzy head, Zeng Xiancheng asked astringently, "Boss...... That...... The Chinese version of Tomb Raider that you plan to make......"

"Don't worry, let's try something else first. Peng Hui said casually.

Zeng Xiancheng can be regarded as relieved.

If Peng Hui came up and wanted to make the Chinese version of "Tomb Raider", then Zeng Xiancheng could only invite someone else.

Although "Bright Memory" already has a little shadow of the Chinese version of "Tomb Raider", it does not mean that the Feiyan Islands Studio can directly produce "Tomb Raider", that is a joke.

Not to mention anything else, just a plot aspect is enough to embarrass the vast majority of people!

You must know that the ancient tombs in China are different from those relics in foreign countries.

With the popularity of the tomb robbery theme in the past two years, in the Chinese version of the tomb-themed game, if there is no Yin and Yang Five Elements, Heavenly Stems and Earth Branches, and Tomb Robbery and Gold, is it still called the Chinese version?

So this script is very difficult to write.

But that's just one point.

Secondly......

Modeling.

You must know Laura's modeling, but it really uses facial capture technology, and in terms of audience, it is also close to the aesthetics of Asians.

Then, on the other hand, if you want to make a Chinese version, you must also stick to the aesthetics of Europeans and Americans.

But it's too hard.

It's a joke to want to find a suitable face at home and abroad and act as the prototype of the heroine.

Of course, in the "Final Fantasy" series that SE has launched before, Asian models are used and Western names are used.

This is also the reason why the Final Fantasy series is also thunderous overseas.

To put it bluntly, the biggest problem we lack is experience.

It's not that you can make a TPS game, make a tomb-themed work, and make a good picture quality and recognized modeling, and then you can make Tomb Raider.

That's impossible.

It's like Blizzard still hasn't been able to remake Diablo II.

It's not that it can't, it's that it's not worth it.

It's so much work that you can even remake a new game.

"Does the boss have any good suggestions?" Zeng Xiancheng was not surprised that Peng Hui wanted to make things to practice his hands first.

In the final analysis, it is still a question of the return of funds.

"Let's make an indie game first. Peng Hui thought for a while and said casually: "The plot just revolves around the ancient tomb." ”

"Does the boss want to use this to gain experience?" asked Zeng Xiancheng.

"Yes. ”

"Boss, I have a suggestion, I don't know if you would like to hear it. ”

"Tell me about it. "As for the game, Peng Hui only thought of it on a whim, and he didn't know anything about game production or anything.

"I know that there is an IP with the theme of tomb robbery in the market now, which is very in line with our setting. ”

"Oh?" Peng Hui was a little surprised.

"It's called "Eternal Tribulation". Zeng Xiancheng explained with a smile: "This is a mobile game, but whether it is the subject matter, or the puzzle solving and other factors, it is very good, although in terms of popularity, it may not be as good as "Tomb Robbery Notes" or "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", but the advantage is that the theme is relatively new, and because it is a mobile game, the copyright is relatively concentrated, and it has not been sold. ”

"Yes. Peng Hui nodded and said with a smile: "You go and get in touch with them and discuss the copyright adaptation." ”

"The boss...... We intend to do ......"

"Make a single-player game first, and if the other party doesn't want to, then do it yourself. ”

"Okay. Zeng Xiancheng naturally knew what he meant by coming.

That is, some references.

The gameplay is a mobile game, this is a stand-alone game, and Peng Hui has also discussed the copyright before.

"Copyright words...... More than a million don't think about it. Peng Hui thought for a while and said casually: "After all, it's a mobile game, and its own body is not large, or that sentence, everything is based on speed." ”

"The boss...... The game type is single-player...... Can be painted ......"

"You can get a retro pixel art style first. Peng Hui thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's like a retro pixel like "Octopath Traveler". ”

"Okay. Zeng Xiancheng knew it in his heart.

The dynamic capture equipment was quickly loosened by Ning Hao.

Of course, it's half sold and half given.

Peng Hui was not stingy, and directly started various investments.

It's a pity that the official of "Eternal Life Tribulation" wanted to study the stand-alone machine by himself, so he rejected Peng Hui's copyright purchase.

Peng Hui is no exception.

Since the other party has made a popular mobile game, it is natural to try to make a stand-alone game.

This is normal.

In today's game market, although mobile games occupy the majority, terminal games are also okay.

If you have a stand-alone machine......

Although it is a little worse, the capacity of the single machine itself is more, and the benefits that can be had are also the most.

Especially with the emergence of STEAM in recent years, stand-alone games will also have a good prospect in the future.

Of course, if you want to make a lot of money, you still need to make triple-A games.

But fortunately, it's not too late to get into the game at this time.

The studio's job postings were sent out quickly.

On the one hand, it is used to supplement the personnel constraints of the Feiyan Islands themselves, and on the other hand, it is also for the launch of new projects.

Although a new project doesn't require too many people and doesn't take too long, after all, even retro pixels don't take long, but in the end it still requires the most basic staff.
