Chapter 541: We Nebula Games are small workshop companies

Regarding the sequel to "Resident Evil", there is no surprise that Yang Chen directly handed it over to Lin Jiayi and their studio in Shanghai.

As for the story of the demon hunter about the 'white wolf', Yang Chen did have such an idea.

The definition of the open world game genre is actually very broad, and different players have their own unique opinions about this type of game.

For example, "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" even feels like a sandbox-style game, an absolutely free-style game.

Or like Red Dead Redemption, it creates a real world, with various mini-games and interactions between the various parts of the game world to give the player a real feeling.

But there is another way to do this, and that is to immerse players in the world with enough side plots and story texts to make them feel like they have a chain reaction every time they make a different decision.

There is such a game like this, although in the dream memory of countless players ridiculed as "sorceress piledriver" and "born calcium-deficient witcher", but there is no doubt that it is definitely a great game.

A pure RPG game.

Aside from the main gameplay and side plots, it is not actually 'open', but it can rely on the rich plot content to bring players a real immersive experience.

The Witcher 3, that's the name of that game.

With "Red Dead Redemption", "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" and "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", Yang Chen felt that it was natural that a game like "The Witcher 3" could not be missing.

However, compared with "Red Dead Redemption", "The Witcher 3" is much more difficult to develop in terms of plot, or Yang Chen has to do too much work by himself.

Because unlike in "Red Dead Redemption", Yang Chen can let the team be responsible for building various side quests to ensure that they are connected in series.

"The Witcher 3", which can be called a great game, is itself adapted from it, and the worldview and plot in the game and some of the side plots are all connected, not simply independent, which is not much for Yang Chen to steal chickens.

He had to be fully involved in shaping the game's story.

"For a short period of time, this game will not come out." Stretched, muttering quietly.

After the video conference, noticing Yang Chen's movements, Wang Yaliang, who was receiving a CG animation product about "Overwatch" from the animation CG studio, leaned next to Yang Chen.

Looking at the folder called 'White Wolf' that had just been created on the desktop, she wondered, "New game?" Just created a new document? ”

"The name of the main character of the game, but you are wrong about one thing, it's not a document, it's a folder." Yang Chenle said with a smile.

Hearing Yang Chen's words, Wang Yaliang next to him couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Is this something to be proud of?

"How about the CG animation over there in Overwatch?" Yang Chen looked at Wang Yaliang and asked.

"This kind of effect will definitely not be achieved by relying on real-time calculus alone." Pointing to the screen on the computer, Wang Yaliang said.

As an animated CG, there are naturally some of them.

In the early years, due to technical limitations, this kind of animation CG was often inserted into the game, and players at the time were very excited about it.

Because the pixel-style, mosaic and polygonal characters in the game are definitely eye-catching when displayed through CG.

And that's also a reward for gamers to beat a level.

Later, with the development of technology, players' senses gradually changed, for example, cutscene CG was gradually replaced by real-time calculation screens, and even some players felt that inserting CG was just to save money, and real-time calculation was a big production.

In fact, this is also a misunderstanding, and a truly well-made animation CG is much more expensive than the cost of real-time calculation.

In fact, real-time calculus is the more cost-effective.

However, even so, Yang Chen will not insert CG animations into the game, after all, for most players, they actually hate this situation.

Therefore, in addition to some specific games, Yang Chen and his team also pay attention to the immersive experience of players, that is, to understand the plot and participate in it while playing.

…………

In the new month, the honeymoon period between NetDragon and Phoenix Games is completely over, and "Dragon and Phoenix Heroes", a game that was previously expected by NetDragon and Phoenix Games, has not been able to set off any storms after all.

However, there is a big thing happening in the gaming circle, not the news of NetDragon, Tenghua, and Phoenix Games, their latest open-world games.

It was a game manufacturer on a different network in China that broke a lot of news and violently dismissed its game planners.

In one of its projects, a numerical operation planner wanted to interrupt his social security after suffering from a terminal illness and asked him to sign a labor agreement termination letter.

An article coupled with audio recordings and other related materials made this news occupy the headlines instantly, and then although the different networks also responded immediately, according to the information it revealed, it was obviously not too convincing.

For players, it is obvious that this news is not too noteworthy, after all, it has nothing to do with them, but it has caused a lot of noise in the gaming circle.

Domestic first- and second-tier game manufacturers, including NetDragon, Tenghua and Phoenix Games, as well as Jiasheng, have also broken out a lot of problems.

And as time progressed, Nebula Games, which had not moved much, was also dragged into the water.

"Are we bad for our employees?" Yang Chen looked at a headline article on the official blog on the Internet, turned his head to look at Wang Yaliang, who was holding the mask on the bed, and said a little speechlessly.

Wang Yaliang, who was sleeping on the bed with a mask, obviously didn't bother to take care of him, and slowly raised his hand and gave him a thumbs up.

Laughing, Yang Chen turned his gaze back to the official blog, and in fact, he didn't need Yang Chen to respond, because the company's internal public relations department had already responded.

Compared with the recovery of simple text on the different networks, the public relations department of Nebula Games is obviously much more confident.

The internal chats within the company, and then the anonymous benefits, are all directly announced.

Looking at the news on the Internet, Yang Chen smiled and also boarded his official blog account, and sent a message.

"Our Nebula Games is also a small workshop company, that is, relying on the love of the players, barely living, big benefits are actually nothing, the only thing to do is to ensure that employees can get their wages on time every month, and occasionally have a little subsidy and overtime pay when they work overtime. Also, please pay attention to our product games. ’
