Chapter 171 I heard that the FF4 script was cut 3/4?
The above is the plot of the urban earthquake part, and it is the urban population that dies the most in the earthquake, so the game of earthquake escape is very necessary.
After the player completes the first act earthquake escape level, they will encounter several other game levels, which are high-rise fire escape, highway car accident escape, and street riot escape.
The high-rise fire level is set against the backdrop of the fire in a high-rise residential building in Jing'an, Shanghai, where the player plays the role of a high-rise ordinary resident, and after the game starts, the first thing is a variety of strange phenomena, such as smoke floating outside the window, sirens faintly heard in the distance, smelling different smells, and so on.
As time goes on, and after the player controls the protagonist of the game to trigger events such as opening the door, thick smoke rolls in, and the protagonist must make quick decisions to wet the quilt, cover his mouth and nose, move to a safe place, and choose the right way to escape.
Most of the causes of death in high-rise fires are choking on smoke and jumping off buildings, so once the player reacts in a panic, the game will end quickly.
The highway series of car accidents, with foggy weather as the background, if the player dares to get out of the car and watch the excitement, it is very easy to be hit by the large truck behind him.
Highway levels mainly test the player's first aid ability, awareness of avoiding danger, and basic traffic knowledge.
The street riot checkpoints in Zuihou are quite complicated, in addition to the gangsters with knives at the train station, there are also masked bank robbers, natural gas pipelines detonated by gangsters and other horror incidents, as a middle school student, how to protect yourself, and wittily deal with the gangsters, when to call the police, when not to act rashly. This needs to be experienced by the player and kept in mind.
this game. There are also two versions, one for boys and two for girls, because there is a difference between men and women. There are some things that boys can do, and girls are better off choosing other ways to get through.
In the girls' version, you can increase the education of anti-wolf and anti-assault, of course, these contents have to be reviewed by the national cultural department, these days, the word sex is not spoken at all, and the sexual [case of assault. It's even more embarrassing to say it.
Yang Yunqing clearly remembers that when he was a child, he asked his parents where he came from, one said that he picked it up from the garbage heap, and the other said that it was sent by someone else, and the situation did not change much until 2000.
In later generations, the wolf teacher violated the young girl, but there were not only one or two cases, but everywhere in the country, and the media made a fuss. Experts and scholars have called for the protection of children and adolescents, but the country's sex [education policy is delayed, in this general environment, still counting on the anti-wolf propaganda for girls in popular science?
Yang Yun could only try his luck. What if the Press and Publication Administration and the Ministry of Culture relax the border clause because of his involvement!
This series of games will be used on the 16-bit MD platform for the time being. Make it into an escape room game, or a flat RPG or SLG.
Wait until the 32-bit Saturn machine is built. Then consider making it a 3D game, similar to the controls of Mjolnir and CS. Make the player feel more immersed.
After determining the general process and storyline, Yang Yun called Ma Liang.
Ma Liang's team has been joining Square Enix for a week, and all work is being carried out in an orderly manner.
Yang Yun asked: "Ma Liang, can the employees be emotionally stable?" Can you get used to life? Can the work intensity be bearable? ”
Ma Liang replied with a smile: "Back to Mr. Yang's words, the employees are not panicked, they have successfully penetrated into the enemy's army, and even have the opportunity to rebel against the enemy!" ”
"Rebellion?" Yang Yun was curious, "What kind of countermeasures?" You mean...... No way! Same as the old well? Someone looking for a Japanese girl? ”
Ma Liangxiao was overjoyed, and danced with his hands: "Just that Feng Qi, he is in charge of the planning and design of our side, and a beautiful girl on Square Enix's side is eye-catching, the two sit together during the day to discuss the plot and script, and they don't know where to go at night, and they only go back to the staff dormitory in the middle of the night, and they just smirk when they ask him." ”
Yang Yun scolded with a smile: "I can't even speak a few words in Japanese, and I hooked up with someone else's girl so quickly, I really have the ability!" ”
Ma Liang smiled mysteriously: "Body language is universal to all shijie!" Hey hey ......"
Nima's ...... Yang Yun slapped it and got down to business: "You arrange to recommend a few planners for me, I have an idea here, and I should be able to make a good game that benefits the country and the people." ”
Ma Liang thought for a while and said: "The underlying design can be handed over to Fengyun, I think that Dongdoudou is good, the planning creativity is first-class, and now there seem to be too many planners on Square Enix's side, we sent 40 people, in fact, only 15 people entered the final fantasy 4 core project team, and the others were placed in planning, art, and background information sorting jobs, which was seriously overstaffed." ”
Yang Yun nodded: "Call him when you go back, and those overcrowded employees, as long as Square Enix doesn't drive us away, no matter what the work, you can let them participate, if Square Enix's other game project teams are short of people, you can also let them go and let them learn things with them." ”
Ma Liang laughed: "Yes, that's what I mean." Most of our people are new hands, and it is also haode to ask Square Enix to help with training. ”
There are only 15 people in the Final Fantasy 4 core project team, so will there be not enough people?
Chinese like to explode the population the most, with the advantage of numbers to fight the progress of the project, according to Ma Liang said, now FF4 has a total of twenty or thirty core R & D team, not even half of FF1, this R & D efficiency is too outrageous, Yang Yun can't stand it!
Yang Yun asked, "Have you ever got the full script of Final Fantasy 4 now?" ”
This one...... Ma Liang twisted his head, for embarrassment: "They are very strict over there, they will only reveal the next month's work, and they say that they will be produced together, but the real core, we are still difficult to contact, I only got a little news from Feng Qi's mouth, or that Japanese girl said it unintentionally." ”
Yang Yun sneered in his heart, Square Enix was still full of vigilance, and he was afraid that Yang Yun would unload the mill and kill the donkey.
This thing can't help but bother him. Yang Yun handed over the personnel transfer to Ma Liang and came to Square Enix in person. Found the president's office of Masashi Miyamoto.
I don't know Weishenme, Miyamoto Masashi is full of fear for Yang Yun from the heart. He was received cautiously, and Hironobu Sakaguchi was called, ready to answer questions together.
Yang Yun smiled and asked, "As an investor, I also have to always care about the progress of the project!" Did you encounter any difficulties in the development of Final Fantasy 4? ”
The two looked at each other, and Hironobu Sakaguchi replied, "All the best!" ”
Yang Yun didn't believe it; "Is everything really going well? weishenme I heard that the original script was cut 3/4 of the plot? Are there any difficulties you encountered? ”
Hironobu Sakaguchi's face instantly became wonderful, surprised, confused, panicked, and shocked. Believing him, he asked, "How do you know?" ”
Yang Yun smiled faintly: "In order to speed up the progress of the game, compress the plot and reduce the side plot, this is actually a double-edged sword. The plot is compressed, and the key places pass by, and players will feel that there is no depth, and even feel that this paragraph is dispensable at all. And you compress the plot, it is nothing more than two reasons, one is in software production. There is a shortage of manpower, and the second is that the capacity of the game card is limited. Beyond a certain capacity, the cost increases dramatically, right? ”
Masashi Miyamoto's heart was shocked inexplicably. Yang Yun is not wrong at all!
Square Enix FF4's core project team consists of only 15 people, and now there are dozens of people in Fengyun. Fearing a loss of dominance, Hironobu Sakaguchi only allowed a maximum of 15 people to join. And in the weekly meetings and daily meetings, the core content is tightly controlled.
Yang Yun continued: "Since the listing of SFC last year, I know that you have made two preparations, one is to continue to develop a game on the FC platform, named FF4, and there is another version of SFC, named FF5, but because of financial constraints, lack of personnel, coupled with your disapproval of the FC platform, you finally canceled the FF4 of the FC platform, right?"
I said, why are you so brainless? If you don't have enough people, my people are willing to help! You have 51%, the decision-making power is in your own hands, weishenme wants to guard against us, and even the core script is not open?
You think you can guarantee that you won't be revealed if you don't tell me?
The Dark Knight Cecil takes his friends on an adventure, you have designed a total of 12 characters, and on the way to fight for the crystal, Cecil has gained friendship, lost friends, defeated enemies, obtained aiqing, and finally became the new king, right? What is so difficult about this kind of main line setting?
Without sufficient side plot support, there is no foundation at all! What about your ATB battle system? What about your class system? What about your character leveling system? What are the CG animations and symphonic music that you are most proud of? The most important core competitiveness of FF is these, not those things that are hidden! ”
Hironobu Sakaguchi was speechless, none of what Yang Yun said was an exaggeration, but how did he know? The core content of Final Fantasy 4 is controlled by a few of their core personnel, and it is impossible to reveal it!
Masashi Miyamoto cautiously asked, "I wonder if President Yang has any good suggestions?" ”
Yang Yun said solemnly: "The dozens of people I sent are just to make Final Fantasy together, and I said that I will only invest in the Final Fantasy game, and only as long as it brings benefits." So, please don't assign my people to do something as simple and stupid as organizing the data. Let's make your script public, and we'll do 3/4 of the cuts. As for the hardware limitations, it's not a problem, we at Sega have a way to increase the capacity and reduce the cost of the excess capacity! ”
Masashi Miyamoto and Hironobu Sakaguchi had no choice, since Yang Yun had opened his mouth and listed the things they grabbed in their palms as treasures one by one, there was no need to hide it.
Before leaving, Yang Yun did not forget to advise: "Please remember that our opponent is DQ, and if we want to defeat them, we must make the game better!" (To be continued......)
PS: The idea of the escape game was provided by the book friend "The Noble Son of the Pessimistic Mirror", thank you!
