Chapter 367: This is the main project
Whether it's a movie, a game, or an anime, the horror genre shouldn't be too much, otherwise it will only backfire.
Yang Chen understands this very well, including "Resident Evil" and "Escape", which have proved this with actual sales performance.
But in terms of production, it is different, Yang Chen needs the production members of the team to be able to understand what fear is.
Only by understanding can we make a truly interesting game, just like when "Escape" was made, Yang Chen took Chen Shu and Wang Ye to have a good memory.
This time the production of "Silent Hill" is no exception.
It can be said that compared with "Escape" and "Resident Evil", "Silent Hill" is easier in terms of film adaptation, because its own game is like a movie narrative.
And the whole game is not like the zombies in "Resident Evil", nor is it as scary as the mental patients who suddenly emerge from the darkness in "Escape".
"Silent Hill" is more of a depressing horror, making players suspicious, and at the same time, the religious, psychological and occult content interspersed in the game is also quite a match for the horror theme.
In the end, he led the production team to determine a place located in a park on the outskirts of Jiangshi, and after Yang Chen communicated with the other party, they won two nights, and there were also relevant employees of the park to cooperate.
However, Yang Chen didn't plan to go himself, and Yang Chen, the person who oversaw it, handed it over to Chen Shu and Wang Ye.
As a veteran employee who has experienced this detailed feeling, Yang Chen feels that they will give those newcomers a wonderful evening experience.
After all, compared to giving employees a wonderful experience, Yang Chen has more important things to do.
The development of "Minecraft" and the story of "Silent Hill" all need to be prepared by Yang Chen.
And Xu Yu's speed is also very fast, the entire company has been formed, and the search for a director has already begun, and what Yang Chen needs at present is to get the story of "Silent Hill" out, and then let the screenwriter polish it into a script.

"Why don't you use a domestic background? In this way, the player will still have the time to make a movie, wouldn't the sense of substitution be stronger? During the lunch break in the office, Wang Yaliang sat next to Yang Chen, watching him write the final ending of "Silent Hill", and said with some curiosity.
Compared to the movie, which only needs one ending, the game will usher in various endings according to different branches.
There are good and bad, dark and faint light, everything depends on the player.
"Then the content of the game will be a little sensitive." Yang Chen rolled his eyes and said, although compared to the harsh in the dream memory, if you say you can do it, you can do it, and if you say you can't do it, you can't do it, in reality, the various departments are not so terrible.
But this does not mean that it is not strict, and the localization situation and some specific content will always bring some negative effects.
Especially in the plot of "Silent Hill", which contains elements such as religion, it is even more sensitive.
Including Lin Jiayi's "Torture and Killing Prototype", Yang Chen also gave him a faithful suggestion, making the background an empty world, so as not to be stamped by the relevant departments with the seal of 404 refusal to pass the trial when the subsequent trial is passed.
Not only at home but also in overseas countries, sometimes there will be some political correctness, which is a thing that there is no way to do.
For example, in Hollywood-style blockbusters, in recent years, black people have played more and more important roles, and even The Little Mermaid is played by black people with dirty pigtails, which was unimaginable in the past.
As for the official explanation, this is the most suitable and in line with the public aesthetics.
???????
Are you serious?
"Is this the game we're going to focus on next?" Wang Yaliang looked at Yang Chen curiously.
With a smile, Yang Chen shook his head, "Silent Hill is very important, but it is Minecraft that really needs to be put into the main energy. ”
!?
Wang Yaliang was a little confused.
Will the main game be Minecraft?
A pixel-based game?
Listening to Yang Chen's words, Wang Yaliang was a little puzzled.
"When I make GDD, well, I should say that when we make the game, you'll understand what kind of game it is." Yang Chen had a smile on his face.
Is "Silent Hill" important to Nebula Games?
Undoubtedly, very important.
Whether it's the cost or the fact that it represents Nebula Games' first attempt to test the waters in terms of film adaptation IP, or whether it's a big production in its own right.
But compared with "Minecraft", "Silent Hill" is much less important, because "Minecraft" is not only a game in Yang Chen's view, it can even be said that it is enough to subvert the vast majority of people's understanding of games.
However, listening to Yang Chen's words on Wang Yaliang's side, the whole person was a little confused.
From the game itself, this seems to be a game similar to Lego bricks, and according to what Yang Chen said, it is still a pixel type game.
Such a small game, no matter how you look at it, is the standard configuration of that kind of indie game.
On the other hand, "Silent Hill" can be said to be a big production, and with the strategic steps of cinematicization, there is absolutely no problem in saying that it is a triple-A project.
Even the cost of development alone, including the game and subsequent movies, is definitely a multi-million-dollar project.
But in this case, Yang Chen said that "I Have the World" is the main core project in the future, which makes Wang Yaliang a little confused, although Yang Chen said that she can understand the follow-up game, but she is still quite confused.
pinched the other party's face, Yang Chen had a smile on his face, but he felt a little regretful in his heart, he didn't feel very good when he lost weight.
"I'm not involved in the project of "Silent Hill", I want to go to the project team of "Minecraft". Thinking of something, Wang Yaliang coughed lightly, and said to Yang Chen with a somewhat erratic look in his eyes.
"Scared because it's a horror game?" After sleeping in the same bed for so many years, how can this little bit of caution be hidden, Yang Chen smiled and leaned his face over.
"Who's afraid! I'm just curious about what kind of game Minecraft is, didn't you say that this game is the main project, of course I have to study it hard. Wang Yaliang said seriously.
"Well, I believe it." Yang Chen waved his hand, but the smile on his face looked even bigger, just like the smile at the press conference of "The Shadow of a Wolf Passed Twice".
Although the achievements of "Minecraft" in the dream memory are all against the sky, including the concept of its own game design, it is a breakthrough, but his production is really simple, at least for the current Nebula game.
Even if the game "Minecraft" is completed, the development of "Silent Hill" on the other side will not be delayed in the slightest, and even the most scary part of the progress will be after it has passed.
Looking at Wang Yaliang next to him, Yang Chen, who left the chair and returned to his seat, couldn't help but laugh.
