Chapter 32: Beautifying Memories
"That's right, set aside an hour a day during working hours to have a dedicated gaming experience, and then I need you to give me a game insight of no less than 500 words every three days." Yang Chen nodded and confirmed their question.
Just kidding, right?
The expressions of the four Chen Shu were confused: o((⊙_⊙))o
What is the average gamer's impression of a game practitioner?
Working in a sci-fi office, getting creative and drinking coffee in groups, brainstorming, or relaxing with a game when you're tired from work?
It is true that there is such a situation, but this is the treatment of large game manufacturers, and most small factories produce games in small offices, sitting in front of the computer like workers on the assembly line, doing repetitive work without technology.
As for playing games during work hours?
In addition to the special positions of testing and numerical values, which require actual tests, the rest of the posts are played, even if they are games made at home, and the legs are broken for you!
"Of course, this is a work need, there are restrictions on the games you play, there is a TXT file on the desktop of everyone's computer, which is the account of the official game platform, the games you need to play, I have bought them for you in advance."
But when they were happy to see the game on the computer, they were shocked.
"Are they all JRPGs from the last century?" Everyone looked at the hard disk, and the total size of more than a dozen games was less than 1 G, and they were quite speechless.
"Well, at your age, if you played games as a child, you must be familiar with these things." Yang Chen said with a smile.
Until now, Yang Chen still remembers when he was in elementary school, and he was shocked when he first played this kind of game.
At that time, graphics technology was not as exaggerated as it is now, and even immersive VR had broken through, and the mainstream games at that time were limited by functional performance, which was mainly based on pixels.
The game that Yang Chen saw in his dream memory made him feel familiar with a very special pixel style, so he decided to let him develop such a game after "The Combination of Isaac".
As for making money, when deciding which game to choose, Yang Chen really didn't think too much about it.
Because "The Combination of Isaac" has been successful, and even if he didn't make a game, the money earned from "The Combination of Isaac" would be enough for him and Wang Yaliang to live happily for the rest of their lives in the small city of his hometown.
If he wants to say that he doesn't want to make money, it is also speaking with a clear conscience, and he wants to show those dream memories in his mind to others more than the goal of making money.
Show the game culture of another world to players in this world.
"But Mr. Yang, if it is purely pixel style, players may not buy it, after all, pixels are just pixels." Wang Ye looked at Yang Chen and raised his concerns again.
Many players think that the memories in their minds,In fact, it's really not as good as you think it is in the moment.,If you played some games when you were a child.,You think it's particularly fun and awesome.,Maybe it's impossible to forget it in this life.,When you grow up, you're still feeling in the face of countless 3A masterpieces.,How awesome that game was back then.,How powerful.。
But if you really want to play that game again, even if it's an HD remaster, how many people will be able to stick to it? The rest is just feelings.
The game changes with the times, for example, Yang Chen has seen several games in his dream memory, one of which is called Resident Evil 2 Remake, which was remade more than ten years later, and it can be said that it has completely remade a new game.
In addition to the general plot and missions, in terms of gameplay settings, you can hardly find the same place as before, and the operation methods, perspectives, and battle modes have all been innovated by the current technology, which is a great success.
If it was limited by function and technology, there is no doubt that it will definitely hit the street.
"It's human nature to package the beautiful things in your memories, as I said before, although the new project is a pixel representation, we need to use modern game development technology, physical effects, light and shadow rendering, including 3D exquisite models, and use modern technology to beautify the pixel style." Yang Chen looked at everyone and said.
It was a conclusion he had come to after studying the game of dream memories in his mind for a long time.
Pixels for the sake of pixels are just repeating the old technology of the past, and retro games are not just retro for the sake of retro.
Modern game graphics technology, combined with pixel style, is the final effect.
"First of all, the follow-up content of "The Binding of Isaac" will be completed, and the corresponding GDD documents are already in your computer, and then they will take a look at each of them later, and then discuss it, and I will tell you more about the new project next week." After Yang Chen answered the question raised by Wang Ye, he said to the four members of the team.
And Wang Yaliang next to him was sitting there all the time, listening to what Yang Chen said, and nodded lightly unconsciously, a picture that I understood everything.
In fact, there is no specific content on the first day's work, the main thing is to supplement the follow-up content of "The Combination of Isaac", about the support of the server and the construction of the server, Yang Chen has contacted the Galaxy Network on the server, and they will solve it, just need to add the interface part on the client.
When he got off work in the evening, Yang Chen invited everyone to have a meal in the hotel, and then went back to their respective homes early, as for what kind of KTV social activities, Yang Chen didn't like these things when he was still in the company before, and he always felt that he was squeezing his own time, and it was only the first establishment of the project team, and it was not a celebration after the success of the project, so he didn't play these virtual things.
The next morning, Yang Chen did not go to the company with Wang Yaliang, but took a taxi to an outsourcing company 'Dream Chasing', which was previously responsible for the outsourcing of "The Combination of Isaac".
"It should be called Mr. Yang now?"
As the boss of the company, Hu Jun came to the door to greet Yang Chen, his face full of smiles.
There's no way not to laugh, he has been chasing dreams for many years, at first he was engaged in self-research and development, but then he succeeded in making a few games, although he didn't lose money but didn't make money, and then he embarked on the road of OEM and outsourcing.
But the OEM and outsourcing industry, to be honest, the water is also quite deep, although the project is not very worrying in the past few years, but there is no outsourcing project that can be done at all.
And this time it was different, he never thought that the previous 400,000 yuan from the program to art, music, all one-stop outsourcing "Isaac's Union" would be able to reach such a point.
In terms of money, it is really not much, after all, from art, source code, and music, they are all done by their outsourcing company, and most of the 400,000 yuan is basically used to pay bonuses to employees.
But I didn't make much money, which is not the crux of the problem, the most important thing is that the game "The Binding of Isaac" is a big hit.
If only he could have known in advance, Hu Jun was even willing to put money on it and let their company outsource the game.
"Does Mr. Yang have any business for us this time?" Hu Jun brought Yang Chen into the office and shouted at the same time: "Xiao Zhang, from the cabinet in my office, to two cups of tea." ”
When Yang Chen and Hu Jun walked into the office, in the quiet hall outside, many employees whispered.
'Awesome! That game sold at least a million copies! ’
Anyway, we made this game! Except for the numerical and gameplay design, we do all the rest, which means that we are also talents who have made millions of sales games? ’
'I suggest you go to the toilet and pee on yourself. ’
'Just finished!' ’
‘……’
