Chapter 133: Is This Really a Business Trip?
"The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" will undoubtedly be a large-scale triple-A production game, if you count the outsourcing team, it will take about three or four hundred employees to participate, of course, this includes a series of art, planning, and programming.
A big enough game is always a lot of detail.
It can even be said that when a gamer feels the real shock, countless employees have spent a lot of effort to implant a large number of details in the game, and little by little they are stacked into a whole display.
Just like in the game, when the player walks on the ground, they leave footprints on the ground.
And with the change of weather, such as continuous sunny days, the mud is dry and hard, and the footprints left by the player are very, very shallow.
However, the day after a heavy rain, the soil becomes softer, leaving deeper footprints on the ground.
These small details that make people look and feel very real need to be piled up with details little by little by art and programs.
And the standard for measuring 3A games, the most preconceived and intuitive is the game's graphics.
The gameplay of the game and the playable **** plot, and even the optimization of the game, 3A level games may have problems here and there.
Even in the case of model clipping bugs, such as walking on the road, the character's head suddenly disappears, these situations often occur in triple-A games.
But for triple-A games, there is one common feature, that is, at least among the games of the same era, their graphics must be the best batch.
Especially for most players, the graphics are an important point of judgment for whether they are a triple-A scale game.
For the art in "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", Yang Chen still works hard, and Yang Chen, the art department of the entire company department, takes them out to travel.
The only thing that's a little embarrassing is that the current art department in the company is full of girls.
There were more than a dozen people gathered around, and when Yang Chen was the only one waiting in the airport waiting hall, the bystanders who passed by glanced at Yang Chen and them with curiosity and surprise.
"Quick, take a picture for us." Wang Yaliang handed the camera to Yang Chen, and stood in front of the glass viewing window with a group of art girls, posing.
Smiling and shaking his head, Yang Chen took a picture with his camera, and also took a picture with his mobile phone and posted it in the work group.
At the same time, NetDragon has officially negotiated with Xu Yu about the intention of cooperation between the two sides.
Including motion capture studios, as well as related technical issues, NetDragon will give priority to it, of course, this is to give money.
Chang'an Studio is responsible for the OEM of the project of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", and NetDragon will be responsible for 20% of the project, including the subsequent domestic distribution.
It can be said that the conditions are very good, and the main reason why NetDragon agreed is also because the current development momentum of Nebula Games is a bit fierce, including "Resident Evil" and "Biochemical Survival", which has recently set off a lot of action, have given Nebula Games a lot of confidence.
After receiving the news from NetDragon, Lin Jiayi and Zhuo Qing rushed to Jiangshi as soon as possible, wanting to go to the studio of Nebula Games to learn about the latest situation of this project.
But when they came to Nebula Games, they got a piece of news that caught them off guard.
"Yang Chen went on a business trip?"
Listening to the words of Wang Ye, who was carefully serving the steel egg and temporarily hosting the Nebula Studio, Lin Jiayi, who came to Nebula Games for the first time, was full of confusion.
"That's right, Mr. Yang and the art team have gone abroad on a business trip, mainly to find inspiration for art in the game." Coughing twice, Wang Ye forced himself not to say it in an envious tone.
Yes, he didn't envy it at all, after Yang Chen left, he handed over the responsibility of temporarily managing the studio to himself, what does this mean?
The big leader and the big boss are optimistic, and their future is very good, what do you envy?
Looking at the food and exotic customs sent out by everyone in the private colleague group, Wang Ye silently chose a message not to disturb.
Not envious at all, what is there to envy? Isn't it just paid leave? Isn't it just public money to go abroad to eat, drink and have fun?
What do you envy, I don't envy at all!
Listening to the alarm ringing of his mobile phone, he took out the dog food prepared in advance from the cabinet, Wang Ye measured it with a measuring cup, and then fed it to the steel egg
Business trip? Looking for art inspiration? Listening to Wang Ye's words, Lin Jiayi and Zhuo Qing looked at each other.
There is some helplessness, I already knew that I would call in advance to communicate, and it is not that there is no phone.
Lin Jiayi, who didn't think about it for a while, was a little speechless: "Then can you show us the information of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim"?" ”
"Of course, the first version of the GDD has been completed, and we are also making preliminary preparations." Hearing Lin Jiayi's words, Wang Ye nodded, Yang Chen had already told him these things before leaving.
In addition, Xu Yu also contacted him before, saying that NetDragon had already signed a contract, and Chang'an Studio had been able to disclose some of the content of the project to them for the preliminary preparation of game development.
Half an hour later, looking at a simple GDD in front of them, Lin Jiayi and Zhuo Qing couldn't help but pat their thighs.
"Big money, big pattern." Lin Jiayi couldn't help but admire.
The core content of the game, such as the plot rhythm and the main gameplay, is not marked in detail in this GDD.
After all, this is only a first version, but the direction of the whole game, Lin Jiayi is almost clear.
Whether it is great or not, Lin Jiayi does not dare to judge, but there is no doubt that this is definitely a big production.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiayi couldn't help but feel a little envious of Yang Chen, as a game producer, being able to engage in this kind of standard 3A-level game is definitely a dream thing.
Of course, what I dream of more is to have absolute rights, and the industry can spend so much money to develop 3A like Yang Chen, and I really can't find a few.
After sighing, Lin Jiayi took out his mobile phone and took a group photo with Wang Ye, ready to send it to his official blog.
With a little promotion of the game, this is also what was said before, after all, NetDragon and Chang'an Studio are also part of this project.
But after Lin Jiayi finished sending the official blog, he was suddenly stunned when he looked at the news that someone in the follower list suddenly refreshed.
Then Lin Jiayi silently turned his head to look at Wang Ye who was exercising with Gangdan in the lounge next to him.
A few pictures, accompanied by a short paragraph.
Fiordland National Park (√), next stop: Queenstown! ’
The shots of the two people are together, plus a variety of food, beautiful scenery.
Is this really a business trip to develop a game, to find inspiration?
