Chapter 41 Focus
Temporarily handed over the Samoyed to the care of several employee ladies in Miracle Entertainment, and Yang Chen went to a music room under the leadership of the other party.
"This place should be faster-paced." Chen Gang sat in a chair with headphones on, talking to himself while staring at the text and images on the computer screen.
That's the plot of "Octopath Traveler", and the original character design.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Chen just took off his headphones and found Yang Chen coming.
"When did Mr. Yang come? Sorry, the music was being modified and didn't notice. Chen Gang stood up and apologized to Yang Chen.
"I've only been here for a short time." Yang Chen smiled and went up to shake Chen Gang's hand.
The other party is the music producer of "Octopath Traveler", and the other party is also a well-known soundtrack producer, including many well-known RPGs, whose music is responsible for him.
"Mr. Yang, do you think there are some pieces of music that are not suitable for the game?" Chen Gang quickly entered the topic, and he even cared more about this than Yang Chen.
"Yes, there are a lot of places that don't achieve the effect I wanted, such as the character theme song, I want to be able to feel the details of the characters from the music, including their personalities, upbringing, and the reason for their travels, which is the main core content of the game."
"For example, the soundtrack in the game, I think it may be better to present it in a symphonic way, Octopath Traveler is not a traditional JRPG, it can be said to be an innovative work, it needs not the music of traditional RPGs in the past, such as the use of orchestral music to renovate the soundtrack, so that it does not stay in the traditional atmosphere." If Yang Chen prepared in advance, he explained it to Chen Gang in detail.
At the same time, open the laptop you carry with you, and open the demo of "Octopath Traveler" that has been produced, including the game's soundtrack and character CV.
Although the original painting of the characters' small biographies and the plot have been handed over to Chen Gang, Yang Chen feels that it may be better to show the content of the game itself to the other party.
Listening to Yang Chen's opinions, Chen Gang was also playing a trial game, and under the condition that Yang Chen entered the console code, he could experience any plot at will.
The expression on Chen Gang's face gradually became serious.
"Yes, there are indeed a lot of problems, and Mr. Yang, your suggestion is indeed very good, I think I already have a general idea, maybe I can tailor a theme song for each character, each character is a different instrument, such as the character of the priest, her repertoire style should be the kind of that can express the feminine sense of femininity without losing the sense of holiness."
"Everyone's life is a different journey, but it seems that they are not connected, but in fact they have long been intertwined."
Looking at the plot of the game again, it was displayed through images, which was different from the performance of words, Chen Gang already had a general idea in his heart, and his whole person suddenly became high.
"In addition, there is also the battle song that needs to be changed, and the seamless extension of the character song, which needs to be very important." Chen Gang listened to the music coming out of the computer and whispered to himself.
Two hours later, after signing a confidentiality agreement on the official platform, Yang Chen went home with the steel egg.
As for whether Chen Gang can make the soundtrack he wants, Yang Chen is not too worried.
As a well-known RPG music producer in the industry, Yang Chen and his team believe that they can come up with a satisfactory answer.
What's more, in the soundtrack, the money given by Yang Chen is definitely not small, although it is a little worse than the top price in the industry, it is definitely not much worse.
At least for Miracle Entertainment, the list of "Octopath Traveler" is definitely the top three they can rank.
And just when Yang Chen came home from Miracle Entertainment.
Lin Jiayi's new work "Time and Space" has been officially launched on all platforms.
August 10th.
The third day after the release of "Time and Space".
At the beginning, with the release of "Time and Space", the popularity can be said to have skyrocketed.
The final chapter of Lin Jiayi's famous time and space series, coupled with the transformation of the previous turn-based RPG into an ARPG, as well as the previous unintentional talk cannon with Yang Chen, a dark horse in this year's independent game circle.
are all hot topics, which also makes the game "Time and Space" attract much attention.
At the same time, NetDragon's investment in "Time and Space" is also much larger than the previous "Time and Space Wheel", NetDragon and Chang'an Studio announced on the same day that the sales exceeded 500,000, and the total sales exceeded 800,000 on the third day.
While the sales may seem impressive, the game's reviews are polarized among players online.
"The thief is interesting, you can't stop brushing equipment at all, equipment entries with random attributes, every boss has a surprise!"
"The action elements are really good, the sense of hitting is very smooth, but it feels like it's a bit out of RPG flavor, and the only fun feels like it's brushing up on equipment."
"Disappointing, the background depicted in the plot is very epic, but too much emphasis is placed on fighting monsters and brushing equipment, and almost two-thirds of the game time is spent playing equipment."
"It feels good! And the game can also be played online with four people, and you can't stop brushing equipment with friends at all. ”
Regarding Chang'an Studio and Lin Jiayi's game, Yang Chen has also been paying attention.
Taking advantage of Wang Yaliang's teasing of the steel egg, Yang Chen secretly put her on the bed, and all the peeled longan was eaten, leaving only the black core.
"It's a bit polarizing, I want to focus on the display of the RPG storyline, but I want to be like Isaac when I add random elements, so that players keep brushing equipment and increase the game time."
After Yang Chen tried the game, he gave a relatively objective view.
However, this gameplay made Yang Chen think of a type of game with dream memory.
Dark-style brush-brush-brushing game.
The gameplay mode of Lin Jiayi's game gives Yang Chen a sense of déjà vu of a dark game.
Compared with the plot, the main core fun of the game is in the brush, and compared to the large number of games on the market that imitate the random elements in "The Combination of Isaac", there is no doubt that Lin Jiayi has mastered the core point.
That is, it is not just random for the sake of randomness, but within a controllable range, let the seed function generate a fixed random number, and then the random number determines the game layout.
This makes the equipment attributes in the game appear to be random, but in fact, the attribute entries are all randomly laid out according to the function seed in a large database.
The biggest advantage of this is that there is no such thing as a brush, and then you farm an invincible piece of equipment, or a non-valid entry.
It's more of a warrior's equipment, and then the attribute added to you is intelligence, which is obviously a knight's spear and then adds the specialization of the magic ball.
"But if you combine these elements, it feels like it's fun." Yang Chen thought about it, and a mage wearing heavy armor and holding a large shield giant sword came to mind.
Thinking of this, Yang Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"It depends on how Chang'an Studio chooses in the later stage, whether to focus on the elements of brushing and brushing, or return to orthodoxy to tell stories." Yang Chen closed the game with a smile, and then logged in to his official game maker account and entered the game practitioner forum to see if there was any news in the industry.
Da!
Yang Chen, who had just finished entering the password, saw a small plastic bowl placed on the keyboard in front of him.
Turning his head, he saw Wang Yaliang, who was pouting, holding a steel egg and looking straight at Yang Chen.
"Tired of playing? It's okay, then I'll go with Gangdan. Yang Chen pretended to be confused, and reached out to hug the steel egg.
"You're so beautiful, you don't even know how to leave me a little." After giving Yang Chen a blank look, Wang Yaliang turned around and took out a bag of longan from the refrigerator and handed it to Yang Chen.
"Okay, okay, peel for you, peel for you." Yang Chen looked at the longan in front of him and smiled, poured the kernel from the plastic bowl into the trash can next to him, and then began to peel the skin.
Take out two longans at a time, then peel one and put it in a plastic bowl, and then peel one and put it in your mouth.
"Ahh You still eat! That's all there is to it! I haven't eaten one yet! Seeing Yang Chen's actions, Wang Yaliang felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, and threw the steel egg on the ground next to him at once, and then threw himself on the bed and reached out to grab the remaining longan in the bag.
"Wang, Wang ......" looked at the two people who were fighting on the bed, the steel egg fell on the floor, and screamed twice.
