088 Employees who don't want to be voice actors are not good programmers
After the trial, Qin Han set goals for the next development work of "Oriental Fantasy Hometown Story".
First, adjust the data to make it less difficult.
Second: continue to expand the game's content. Add more side quests to enrich the character's image.
Third, add difficult hidden bosses and other content, so that players still have goals to complete after 60 hours of gameplay.
The purpose of the Qin and Han dynasties was to expand the effective game time of a week to seventy to eighty hours.
With such a rich indie game, if you don't buy it, is it worthy of your conscience?
After assigning the work task, Qin Han saw that the time was not early, so he prepared to leave.
Who knew that Tanaka's dead fat man suddenly asked, "President, should we add voice to the game?"
"Voice?"
Qin Han stopped.
This guy really has a problem for himself.
Adding voice to the game, of course, has benefits. Not only can it increase the player's sense of immersion, but it is also very important for creating a game character.
The two-dimensional young lady who has no voice is just a paper person. And when the voice actors dub the voice, they can give real life to the characters, making their images three-dimensional and vivid.
Of course, there are drawbacks.
First of all, the game capacity will become larger.
If it had been twenty or thirty years ago, when the storage medium was still a 3.5-inch floppy disk, it would have been a big problem. But now, it's just a matter of a few dozen minutes more to download, so it's not a big problem.
The point is, it costs money to hire a voice actor.
The income of voice actors, the proportion of animation dubbing is actually not much. Because of the existence of an organization such as the Haikuren (Actors' Guild), there are rules in the industry that divide voice actors into many grades according to their qualifications. The different levels of voice actors, and the remuneration when they appear in the animation, are all fixed - whether you are the main player or a dragon with only two lines, they are all treated equally.
For a new voice actor, the remuneration for one episode of animation is 15,000 yen.
The three female voice actors of "Monday's Plumpness", because they are equipped with instant noodles, the price is lower.
A voice actor with old qualifications, the income can reach 45,000 yen per episode.
Therefore, for voice actors, the income from their own jobs can probably only be mixed with food and clothing. If you really want to make a lot of money, you have to rely on animation to become popular, and then take on other jobs.
For example, singing, doing radio dramas, shooting photo albums, dubbing games, and so on.
An idol voice actor of the level of Nana Mizuki, who has earned more from selling singles and holding concerts than dubbing for anime, is so high that I don't know where it is. The latter is not even a fraction.
Even if you don't have Nana Mizuki's singing skills, if you have the opportunity to dub the game, you will have a good income.
Because the voice actor dubs the game, it is charged by the number of words.
Qin Han roughly calculated that there were ten main characters in "Oriental Fantasy Story". And if DLC is released in the future, it is very likely that this number will continue to increase.
The scripts of these ten characters add up to tens of thousands of words, and if they are fully voiced, it is a lot of expenditure.
Other minor NPCs, on the other hand, can be omitted and used only simple phrases such as "good morning", "goodbye", "um", "oh", etc. But because of the number of characters, it also costs a lot of money.
Qin Han hesitated, but finally clapped his head and said, "You must add voice, so decided!"
Because he didn't just want to make such a game, but to build a whole Touhou series. Therefore, whether the characters in it are attractive or not is a key factor in whether it can attract enough cute dolphins and arouse the enthusiasm of fans for secondary creation.
Seeing the president's decision, the group led by Tanaka Fat Man all showed excitement, and one of them tentatively asked, "President, are you going to invite those voice actors?"
Qin Han saw through these people's thoughts at a glance: "You vocal dolphins, are you a little promising, okay?" Even if I invite a cute voice actor and a young lady, the main thing to deal with them is the sound supervisor is responsible." If you really have the ambition, then work hard and change from a college student to a legendary professional 'general club member' as soon as possible, and you may be able to marry a cute voice actress. ”
Listening to Qin Han's words, a group of men looked disappointed.
Well, it's not enough to just hit people, you still have to feed a few sweet dates and give them a little more motivation to work.
"The voice actors I'm going to invite are the three of the anime you watched today, "Monday's Plumpness". They are still newcomers who have just debuted, the asking price is not too high, and they are also very powerful, which is the best choice at present. ”
"Eh, really?"
"The president is wise!"
"President, you're sure you've met the voice actors at the audition, is Nana-chan cute?"
"All three of them were lovely. If the game is well bought, I'll invite them to be guests at the celebration. ”
Qin Han's words made a group of helpless mansions go from being depressed before, like inflatable dolls that have been ravaged all night, to a state of re-energizing, full of energy.
Even the fat man Tanaka, who is the vice president, is full of red faces.
"Hey, you dolphins, be decent. Qin Han scolded with a smile.
He also said to Tanaka: "Only three voice actors, even if one person has four or five roles, it is far from enough. Tanaka-kun, didn't you have an exclusive voice actor in the C2 agency before, and what is the level, and can you match commercial works?"
Tanaka's fat man patted his head: "I almost forgot, Yumi, she stayed up all night yesterday to write an all-night code, and she was resting next door." She and Miss Wakana are the only two full-fledged voice actors in the company right now. ”
Qin Han almost thought he had misheard.
Voice actors?Write code?
He felt that his expression must be black question mark JPG.
When he came to the next room, the fat man Tanaka woke up a girl who was sleeping in front of the computer desk, and Qin Han remembered some things in his previous life.
The Yumi in Tanaka's fat man's mouth should be Yumi Tanibe, who served as the voice of Yutachi, Shiyu, Bai Lu, Murayu and other characters in the "Fleet Collection" in his previous life.
Because of the character "poi" of the destroyer Yutachi, he became a smash hit.
It is rumored that Yumi Tanibe, who is the veteran of the C2 agency, is actually a programmer by the main job, and he was only caught by Tanaka because of a lack of manpower, so he went to become a voice actor.
I didn't expect this rumor to be true!
Seeing that the girl didn't look awake, and there were still water stains on the corners of her mouth, Qin Han waved his hand and asked Tanaka not to disturb her.
"Tanaka-kun, the other voice actress of the C2 agency, Miss Wakana, is it Wakana Miyagawa?"
"Yes. But she's not a regular employee of the company now, how do you know, president?"
Because I was the Admiral of Ship C who was abused by you a thousand times!
Qin Han said in his heart.
Miyagawa Wakana was also one of the veterans of the C2 agency in her previous life, and served as the voice of many ship girls in the "Fleet Collection". She and Yumi Tanibe's dubbing strength, Qin Han does not have to doubt it.
In addition, the voice actor Yu Sanjia who is still a newcomer, the problem of dubbing the game is perfectly solved.
