Chapter 976: Follow-up Plans
The Sims Script Contest can be said to have further increased the popularity of the game, and the variety of works has also made many players feel the alternative scenery in The Sims.
Not all entries are designed according to a story.
There are also a lot of well-received works, which belong to the kind of simple dazzling pictures.
To put it simply, it is to show the scenery in "The Sims", and this is also a feature of "The Sims".
That's the excellent picture, after all, most people still pay a lot of attention to visual effects.
Landscapes, cities, characters, including in-game clothes, vehicles, etc., are all displayed in front of the player.
Of course, there is also the theme of this event, which is to design a story and a script in The Sims and present it to the players.
Many of the players have designed scripts that are also quite interesting, such as some players using "The Sims" to design a detective puzzle story.
The opening chapter shows a button for a secret room killing, and then uncovers the final truth through reasoning and various props.
There are even many players who use "The Sims" to reproduce some classic stories of Nebula Games, such as a certain plot in "GTA" and a certain plot in "Watch Dogs".
After all the entries are selected and announced, there is basically no controversy among players, after all, the popularity of each work is placed here, although there are also special judges to score, but the big head actually belongs to the player's voting score.
But in China, or in this part of Asia, the most popular is not the first entry selected in the end.
It was this plot designed by Chen Xu and his entire team.
Although this is not news in the domestic entertainment industry, so many years have passed.
But one thing is undeniable, and that is that anyone who understands this story will say, 'Tui! Scumbag! ’
Even with the heated discussion among players, this incident also became popular outside the game circle, causing an artist who had just spread unfavorable news not long ago to be pushed to the forefront again.
But this has nothing to do with Yang Chen.
In fact, this "The Sims" script contest only shows a relatively important core gameplay in this game.
If you start playing, it will be clear that The Sims is actually the same as games like GTA and Red Dead Redemption, and there are a lot of interesting and interesting things hidden in it.
Especially compared to the original version of "The Sims" in Dream Memory, the engine system of the entire game and the graphics are a great change.
In The Sims, players don't necessarily have to design a storyline and a character.
It's also easy to play in the game, and even play this game as a collection game.
For example, you can collect all kinds of vehicles in the game, collect all kinds of beautiful clothes, beautiful bags, and even cute pets.
Even if you're not interested in any of this, you can just experience Assassin's Creed: Odyssey and simply see the scenery of various places in The Sims.
Included in the follow-up DLC content, Yang Chen has already discussed it with UEgame.
It can be reproduced according to the scenery of various places in reality, and it can be perfectly displayed to players in the game.
For example, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Arc de Triomphe, the Caribbean Islands and other famous places, according to a certain amount of content, these contents are made into a special travel DLC content package in the game.
And for the pricing of this part of the content, it will be quite cheap at that time, and even from the comparison of cost and pricing, it can really be said to be a shout.
However, the accumulated art materials are still quite useful.
Just like in order to develop "GTA", before that, Yang Chen recruited Brandon and their team at UEgame to develop the VR game "Iron Man", including the follow-up "Spider-Man" to pave the way for some crucial games in the future.
Similarly, some of the content in The Sims, such as the planned travel DLC content, will be developed with art materials that can be used in subsequent game development.
The most direct game, that is, the "Assassin's Creed" series, restores an era to bring players a sense of history, and also needs to have extremely realistic scene materials.
For example, if it is necessary to involve the French Revolution, then the familiar symbols of the Bastille, Versailles and Notre Dame Cathedral are naturally inevitably involved.
If you were to start from scratch, it would take a little longer.
However, if you already have a large number of art materials, and then modify them based on the characteristics of the era at that time, it will be much simpler.
After all, games are not reality, and it is impossible to embody everything.
……………………
After the script contest of "The Sims", Yang Chen also put the target back inside Nebula Games.
They're going to make fried cold rice.
It's like bringing games like The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim to the Switch platform.
Next, the more important direction of Nebula games is the screen reset of several classic games.
Some of the games produced by Nebula Games, such as the VR version of "Silent Hill" and "Escape" and the original series of "Resident Evil" and some subsequent series, are actually not up to date with the mainstream era from today's perspective.
It's more just to make players feel scared in the environment, but in fact, the scary monster graphics modeling and so on still look a little rough.
At the same time, in view of the accumulation of some technical experience on the VR platform, if it is rashly used in a new game, it is easy to optimize the content BUG.
The best way to do that is to experiment with some old games.
For players, this negative impact can be minimized.
For example, new gamers are bought with money, and if there are some technical bugs and optimization deficiencies, even if they can be patched in a timely manner, it is not enough.
However, for the old game purchased by the player, it is much simpler, and the player does not need to pay twice.
Just update it directly on the original version, and if there is a problem after the update, players can also choose to wait for the official patch to solve the problem, or they can roll back the old version.
As for the income, Yang Chen doesn't have much idea in this regard, and the reset of the old game is more just to further strengthen the technical accumulation in the VR platform.
In addition, it is mainly for the next, a very important project for Nebula Games.
After the development of "Watch Dogs", "Assassin's Creed: Odyssey" and "The Sims", the VR platform and its Nebula Games team also have enough technical accumulation.
The Los Santos that players have been dreaming of is almost time to move to the VR platform.
Of course, in addition to these cold meals that can make players excited, Yang Chen has some other ideas.
