Chapter 124: Project Establishment - Skyrim

The other people in the conference room couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Wang Ye, who came back to his senses, was also stunned.

Shaking his head, without exploring too much on this kind of hardcore translation, Yang Chen took the topic back: "This game will be the first masterpiece we have developed, and it will be even grander than Resident Evil. ”

Yang Chen looked at everyone and said, if you talk about the background, worldview and plot, in fact, the Resident Evil series is also huge enough, you can't say that the Elder Scrolls spans thousands of years, and being a dragonborn and a demon god is bigger than the background of Resident Evil, at most you can only say that from the perspective of the forced grid, the Elder Scrolls is bigger.

Like Resident Evil, The Elder Scrolls is a series of games that spans more than twenty years in the dream memory, with a huge and epic magical world view that makes people completely immersed in the world of Tamriel.

This is a memorable series of games, especially the one called Skyrim, which Yang Chen decided to prioritize.

Huge worldview shaping, and a very free world, everyone seems to have their own story behind them, and the accumulation of details makes you feel that this is a real world.

Of course, there is a more attractive thing that is the MOD opening of the game itself, and the opening of the MOD makes the game full of various interesting mods.

The most basic model replacement, light and shadow material optimization, as well as new missions and game system improvements, and even changes in combat methods, as well as new map plots.

Of course, this game has countless advantages, but in the current eyes of Yang Chen, there are also many shortcomings.

The interactive AI is not high, the game picture quality is very scummy, and the real-time action blow in the game is even more scummy.

But that's just the gap between the times and technology, and you can't ignore the game's brilliance because of these technical disadvantages.

Whether it's the game's plot substitution, Skyrim has done enough.

From the beginning of the prisoner who was about to be beheaded, step by step to the throat of the world, he saw Graybeard and knew his fate.

Last war, Alduin the Devourer of the World.

From humble and weak people to the Dragonborn who saved the world, combined with the details of the entire game, Skyrim is as if it were a real world.

Combined with the PPT file in front of him, as well as the memories of the Elder Scrolls in the dream memory, Yang Chen explained to everyone in the conference room.

Listening to Yang Chen's description, everyone couldn't help but feel very surprised.

Surprise at some of the system settings in the game.

For example, the setting of profession and race, according to the normal situation, the race will correspond to the profession, but in Yang Chen's narration, this game, although there will be a specialization bonus of the race to the profession.

But it is not mandatory, the game has basic classes such as warriors, mages, assassins, and archers, but it does not limit the direction of the player's protagonist training.

Warriors can unleash powerful magic if they wish, Assassins can smash into crowds with dual axes for an assassination without witnesses, Mages can wear armor and hold greatswords to get their anals, and Archers can sneak up behind enemies and use daggers to make a perfect assassination.

At the same time, there are a series of huge skill trees in the game, such as lockpicking, enchantment, forging, etc., which allow players to combine them freely.

At the same time, in terms of factions, players can be an assassin who kills without a trace, or a mage, or a thief who works in the city, or even a mercenary who kills without blinking.

There are no class restrictions in the game, there are no restrictions on joining factions, players can join all factions in the game, and even when your superiors die, you will become the biggest leader.

Huge! Freely!

The liver is going to burst!

This is the first image after everyone listened to Yang Chen's brief description of this Elder Scrolls: Skyrim game.

There is no doubt that if it is not to draw a pie, but to really follow this specification, this is definitely a triple-A game.

Whether the previous Resident Evil is a triple-A scale production is actually a little controversial, but this game called The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, if you want to achieve the scale that Yang Chen said, it is absolutely impossible to complete it without a triple-A level budget.

"The story, the numbers, the map design, and the art and programming aspects of the game are going to be a huge project, and I'm going to be recruiting contractors for the project in addition to outsourcing." Yang Chen looked at everyone and said.

With such a huge project, Yang Chen didn't think that he could complete it alone, and then add a few other people in the studio.

Even if there will be an outsourcing company.

Hiring project contractors is a given, and it's not uncommon in the gaming industry.

The employment contract is from the beginning of the project to the end of the project, and the project time cycle is for game industry practitioners.

This is also a relatively mainstream profession in the game industry, and practitioners who can do project contract work basically have some skills, and there is even no shortage of big touches in the industry.

"The initial budget for this game will be: 350 million." Yang Chen looked at everyone and said a number that shocked them with a smile on his face.

Then Xu Yu next to him suddenly looked at Yang Chen with wide eyes.

Next, Yang Chen briefly said some preparations about the Resident Evil sequel, as well as The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, and after announcing the end of the meeting, Xu Yu called out to Yang Chen.

Xu Yu, who had a bitter face, looked at Yang Chen with wide eyes: "Mr. Yang, do you know our financial situation?" ”

"Yes, we're financially healthy!" Yang Chen nodded.

Listening to Yang Chen's words, Xu Yu couldn't help but cover his forehead: "It's true that Resident Evil has brought us huge benefits, but although Biochemical Survival is currently trending well, it can become a pillar without making mistakes, but after all, it hasn't even returned to its original yet, and the follow-up funds of overseas Resident Evil have not been hit in the account." ”

"Coupled with the shaping of the Resident Evil IP brand and the normal operation of the company, the funds that can be used in our account are about 600 million."

"And according to what you mean, Mr. Yang, we will develop two triple-A games at the same time, even if not at the same time." Xu Yu felt a little tired.

"Isn't there enough money?" Yang Chen asked a little strangely.

Aside from the normal operation, there are still 600 million yuan in the account to eat interest, isn't this money a waste?

Hearing Yang Chen's words, Xu Yu couldn't help but be speechless for a while, what he actually wanted to say was that if these two projects suffered Waterloo, then their Nebula was likely to fall into a financial crisis, and even if it didn't sound good, it might even go out of business, after all, the follow-up publicity of the game development was also a large expense.

"Okay, Mr. Yang, but then you have to agree to some of my strategic layouts, such as the combination of Isaac and the transplantation of other platforms of Octopath Traveler." Xu Yu was a little helpless.

"No problem, as long as it doesn't involve changing the values and changing the flavor of the game." Yang Chen also said decisively.

Xu Yu looked at Yang Chen, who was quite a bachelor and left the conference room, and couldn't help but sigh again.

But thinking of something, Xu Yu showed some smiles again, although he was a little uneasy, but he also had to admit that the treatment Yang Chen gave him, including power, was very satisfactory to him.

This is something he didn't have in his previous company, and the only thing that makes him feel uneasy is that Nebula Games currently doesn't have a game that can support it to survive even if it fails.

Resident Survival and Resident Evil may become?

But after all, it has not been proven by the market.
