Chapter 54: "Blood" [Asking for Recommendation Votes!
There are snowflakes in the sky and a hot spring underneath.
The volcano not only brought gold and silver to the city, but also countless hot springs.
Soaking in hot springs has become a habit for many people, and soaking in hot springs in winter is the most romantic thing that many people can think of.
The little geisha was half-lying in the hot spring, leaning against a stone, with a towel on the back of her neck, looking at the snowflakes falling on her face as the white heavenly language kept falling.
It has been a few months since she confessed to Takahashi in front of the people of the whole country, and her life has changed a lot.
First of all, she is no longer a geisha.
It's not that she was removed, but Takahashi spent a lot of money to "ransom" her.
The little geisha is free.
But she was also confused.
Takahashi is busy, and it is impossible to get tired of being with her all day. And her experience of love is limited to the TV series she has read and watched.
Therefore, although the two seem to be together in name, they don't even see each other, and their progress is not even as good as that of a schoolboy who is in love.
Although the little geisha is not very satisfied with her current life, she doesn't know how many people envy her.
Takahashi is a well-known public figure in the whole of the world, and he is also the president of a video game club. Whether it is in terms of fame or money, it is the dream lover that many women in the new era will dream of.
Although Takahashi is not a serious idol, he is sometimes more like an idol.
Not only do many children regard Takahashi as a hero in their hearts, but there are also many young girls who are pregnant with spring, making their own support fans printed with Takahashi's photo, and waving them up and down.
However, in the eyes of the little geisha, Takahashi is just an ordinary person, an ordinary person without an aura. Even, it's a stupid ordinary person who can't even please girls.
——————
Takahashi still has some understanding of the little geisha's itinerary. However, he really didn't have time to intervene, and he really didn't have time to participate in her life.
Whether it's the day-to-day operation of Wanhu, the management of Gamer's Heart magazine, or the weekly "Takahashi's Party".
These things all take up a lot of Takahashi's time, plus Takahashi is still in charge of the development of Manno's fighting game.
His daily workload, which is already almost overworked, is still overworked.
However, the more gratifying thing about it lately is that fighting games have entered a period of rapid production.
Because, Takahashi has already led the technicians to develop a new type of character drawing mode.
Unlike other game companies, even if it is based on a real person, it is completely hand-drawn.
Takahashi spent millions of dollars to finally assemble a motion capture system that worked.
Countless celebrities were invited to the studio, where they were filmed with motion-captured iron sheets, and then cameras and other sensors were used to capture their movements.
The camera image is then cut out and the hand-drawn color correction is performed. After the bones are bound, a second correction is made.
In this way, the smooth performance of the live-action is transformed into a somewhat "frustrating" animation.
This "pause" is completely deliberate, because the experience caused by too smooth movements is not good. Nowadays, almost all games are composed of hand-drawn, so although Wanhu uses a rather rudimentary live-action capture technology, it also needs to modify the feeling of traditional hand-drawn animation.
Although the initial investment was huge, the benefits of motion capture technology were discovered in the later practice process. It saves a lot of the process of copying videos and repeating paintings.
It can save a lot of time, and the animation effect produced is not significantly different from the traditional hand-drawn effect.
However, when converting into pixel bit-matrix images, it still needs to be processed manually. Although Wanhu's technical department is also already developing the corresponding part of the computer automatic conversion.
However, due to problems with the algorithm, the converted picture is always not ideal, and there is artistic abstraction again, so that the actions of the whole character are more in line with the current requirements. 、
Therefore, the last part is still mainly done by hand.
In addition to the study of character animation, there is also a team of 10,000 people who went to China on a business trip, accompanied by 10,000 Chinese (harmonious) Shanghai employees, to Shanghai to investigate the customs of Shanghai nearly 100 years ago. From the piles of historical documents and some people's oral accounts, some are drawn based on reality, but also add fantasy background images.
From the Bund to Yu Garden to the Old Town God's Temple, to the restaurants built by foreigners. Every scene is carefully drawn.
Even, in the background of a certain scene, "Night on the (Harmonious) Sea" sounded.
The staff responsible for writing the background story also wrote a magnificent picture based on historical facts.
Finally, the fighting game named "Blood" began to be built little by little with the cooperation of more than 100 employees.
The people in charge of the combo design of the "Bloodshed" project team borrowed many excellent settings from "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf". From combos to special moves to super special moves.
From realistic martial arts routines, to fantasy moves. The whole "Bloodshed" combines its picture style, and finally presents a peculiar state that combines Western and Eastern aesthetics.
Of course, Bloodshed itself is a fighting game. For this game, Takahashi's deepest pursuit is still about the aesthetics of violence.
Because of the censorship, it is impossible to rush blood, but the symbolic white dove will be frightened in the church scene.
The game is in its final stages of forming, with a total of twelve playable characters. These characters, both male and female, have their own distinct characteristics.
To highlight the characteristics of these characters, "Bloodshed" appears larger on screen compared to "Street Fighter" and "Legend of the Hungry Wolf".
Since countless martial arts and martial arts experts are really invited, and the actions of the characters in the game itself are also based on their demonstrations.
Therefore, compared with "Legend of the Hungry Wolf" and "Street Fighter", the action of the game "Blood" may not be more in line with reality, after all, there is no such thing as super special skills in reality, but in terms of appearance, it looks cooler and more punchy than the previous two fighting-related games.
On January 1, 1989, China's New Year's Day, it was the day of the New Year. "Blood" was listed, and with the influence of 10,000 households, it easily entered the machine halls of various streets, and also occupied a quite advantageous position.
Due to the addition of Wan Hu, the already burning fire of fighting games was added to the fire.
