Chapter Seventy-Three: Got Something

"What are you smirking at? Time to eat! Wang Yaliang, who was wearing an apron and a hot face and some beads of sweat on his forehead, stood in front of Yang Chen, holding two pairs of chopsticks in his hand.

"Let's rest for a while, I've told me to come." Looking back at Wang Yaliang, who was sweating, Yang Chen shook his head when he got up from his chair.

"I like it." Wang Yaliang pursed his lips and stuffed the chopsticks into Yang Chen's hand, took off his apron and walked to the side of the air conditioner blowing the air conditioner with his hand, and closed his eyes very comfortably.

"Don't blow the air conditioner if you're sweating, be careful if you catch a cold, go to the bathroom to wash your face and wipe the sweat on your body." Decisively turned off the air conditioner, just like an old mother, Yang Chen said.

The cool cold wind suddenly disappeared, and Wang Yaliang, who was standing in front of the air conditioner listening to Yang Chen's words, glanced at him resentfully: "I know, it's annoying." ”

But although he complained, he walked to the bathroom honestly.

On the dinner table, although it was summer, the food had become warm in the air-conditioned room.

"By the way, we're going to work on the big project you talked about next?" While picking up rice in his mouth, Wang Yaliang asked.

"Preparations are underway, and there is a motion capture studio in terms of outsourcing, which has not yet been determined, and the team needs to apply more advanced engine functions, and Wang Ye and Chen Shu are basically able to adapt to the rhythm of this kind of project." Yang Chen nodded, but he was still thinking in his head.

How to choose between horror games, from the horror itself, "Escape" has done very well, but in terms of sales, "Escape" has failed.

Yang Chen had to admit this.

"What are you doing?" Noticing Yang Chen's absent-mindedness, Wang Yaliang was a little curious.

Yang Chen, who came back to his senses, took a bite of food and smiled: "It's nothing, I'm thinking about "Escape", horror games that are too scary will make players retreat, but if they are not scary, they will make players criticize and write, how to choose a middle point is really a difficult choice." ”

Listening to Yang Chen's words, Wang Yaliang, who was drinking soup after eating, showed a strange expression: "Didn't "Escape" lose money? And I made a lot of money. ”

Looking at Yang Chen in front of him and putting down the bowl in his hand, Wang Yaliang was a little puzzled.

A few days ago, when the online game media was singing about the poor sales of "Escape", she was worried that Yang Chen would be affected, and then the other party persuaded her to care about these things, saying that "Escape" was successful and earned, but now she is struggling.

"It's really earned, but the performance of "Escape" didn't meet expectations." Yang Chen nodded, but shook his head again.

"The audience for horror games is still very low, after all, not everyone likes horror games, for example, durian is delicious for some people, but some people think it stinks, unless they are deliberately catering to players." Wang Yaliang thought for a while and said.

She has been learning about game development since before, including the development of "See", and although she can't say anything about getting started now, she definitely doesn't know anything about it.

Commercialization of games, she understands that.

"Cater to players." Yang Chen put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"And didn't you say you could play whatever game you want?" Wang Yaliang looked at Yang Chen and said.

At the beginning, she also asked Yang Chen this question, and the answer given to her by the other party was that she wanted to do the game she wanted to do, and she still remembered it very clearly.

Just like the lights of the night, the darkness was dispelled in an instant, and Yang Chen couldn't help but be smart.

Yes, did you think of so many things when you first chose the game?

Every gamer needs to consider commercialization when making games, after all, if they can't make money, game companies can only go out of business even if they do a good job of making games.

But Yang Chen, who has a dream memory, didn't think about these things at all, because he was confident enough, even if a game failed, relying on the countless ideas and ideas in the dream memory, he would be able to make a comeback.

Just like when he chose Octopath Traveler, he liked the combination of retro and modern elements in Octopath Traveler.

"Resident Evil" was chosen because of the game's perfect narrative technique, as well as its own plot and control of the game's pace.

I chose "Escape" not only because I wanted to run in with the team at that time, but also because of the thrill of fear brought by the horror game "Escape".

From the perspective of commercial horror games, compared with the "Escape" in the dream memory, Yang Chen's development is not qualified, because it is too terrifying, causing many players to not even dare to try.

But purely from the perspective of a horror game, Escape didn't fail, he made the game even more terrifying, even more terrifying.

"I figured it out." Yang Chen stood up very excited, and ran over to hug Wang Yaliang.

I like games, and when I first engaged in the game industry, I wanted to bring games to players.

Did Escape fail?

There are no failures, and for most of the average players, this is a game that they dare not play.

But for the ultimate horror game lover, "Escape" is definitely a classic that people can't miss.

What about the positioning of "Resident Evil"?

Players who are a little interested in horror games, but are afraid to play an extreme horror game like "Escape".

These people are the audience players of "Resident Evil", so that more players who are not so bold can experience the fun of horror games within the scope of acceptance, this is the positioning of "Resident Evil".

"What do you understand?" Sitting on the chair, Wang Yaliang, who was hugged from behind before the soup was finished, looked confused.

"I understand what game I want to do." Face to face, Yang Chen smiled happily.

"It's not very clear yet, but don't want to change the subject, it's time for you to wash the dishes today." Wang Yaliang turned his head and smiled, also smiling happily.

"No, I didn't think I'd make an excuse not to wash the dishes." Yang Chen showed a wry smile.

"Really? Then I hope you don't make excuses. A smile appeared on Wang Yaliang's face, and at the same time he shouted and beckoned to the steel egg next to him.

Hearing the call of the hostess, the steel egg who was playing with the ball stopped his movements, and then ran over.

"Then dear Xiao Yang, can you explain why there is a mezzanine in the kennel of Steel Egg, and there are cigarettes hidden in it?" Touching the head of the steel egg, Wang Yaliang pointed to the bedroom with a smile and said.

??????

It's all discovered!

The expression froze looking at Wang Yaliang's smiling expression, and Yang Chen, who was sitting on the chair, stared at the boss!
