Chapter 61: Collective Inspiration

'Please, please, don't show affection, when will the new game come out?' ’

'The new game is coming out! Didn't you recruit a bunch of people some time ago!? ’

is on a hot topic, coupled with the player fans accumulated in "The Combination of Isaac" and "Octopath Traveler" before, many people can't help but express their anticipation for their new game.

Wang Yaliang, who had just finished visiting the City God Temple and was about to have a meal at the snack bar, swiped his mobile phone, saw a bunch of messages under the account, and came to Yang Chen's side.

"Eh, many players are asking when our game will be released!" Wang Yaliang said happily, and then looked at the hot search topic of the Golden Bird Game Award next to him, which was ranked fourth, and smiled even more happily.

"Do you have so many messages?" Looking at the number of two or three thousand user replies under the official blog, Yang Chen was a little surprised.

"This kind of reply generally doesn't reply to anything specific, I'll tell you how to reply." With a smile on his face, Yang Chen reached out and took the mobile phone from Wang Yaliang's hand, and then leaned his face next to her and clicked to take a photo.

In the official blog message sending box, select the photo.

Thank you all for your support, the new game is already being made, and it will definitely give you a special surprise. ’

After the compilation was completed, Yang Chen sent it directly.

"In the face of the player's inquiry, it is very simple to be able to reply, as long as you ask, then we will say that we are doing it. Of course, in order to make it more visual, sometimes you can add one or two original pictures of the game, or take pictures of everyone working in the studio, but for now let's use our photos instead. Yang Chen said with a smile.

Game?

As long as you ask, it's doing.

As for how far? That's hard to say.

With Yang Chen using Wang Yaliang's mobile phone to send the latest news on the official blog account, countless players who focused on it for the first time were all stunned after seeing the news.

???????

Can you be a little more careful!

Is this called doing? What information is being done without disclosing it?

And what's going on with this picture of yours?

It's a snack bar! Who is doing this?

Yang Chen didn't know anything about the players' grievances.

The trophies and other things have been mailed back to the company, and Yang Chen and Wang Yaliang played in Shanghai for two days before returning to the company.

…………

Monday, inside the Nebula studio.

Yang Chen teased the steel egg that he hadn't seen for a few days, came to the conference room, put down the work at hand for the time being, and everyone sat in their places.

Everyone sat there with a laptop in their hands, waiting for Yang Chen to announce a new project.

I already knew in advance that the next new project of the studio was a horror game, and everyone made up for the horror game and the movie aspect.

It is worth mentioning that because it is a horror game and a movie, everyone's choice is not to watch it alone after work or in their free time, but to gather in the large conference room of the studio after work, and watch it on the big screen through the projector and turn on the lights.

"Boss, what kind of horror game is our new game? Is it the kind that prefers European and American plasma? Chen Shu asked curiously.

This type of horror game is a little easier to do, with scary monsters and terrifying corpses and a screen full of plasma, combined with oozing sound effects that are enough to scare the faint of heart.

But this is only the preliminary foundation, and the real horror is never just the sight, combined with the oriental horror.

The unknown is the scariest thing, and letting players scare themselves is the brilliance of horror games.

"On the surface and in the background, it's really Westernized." Yang Chen said with a smile.

Regarding the game background of "Escape", Yang Chen has no plans to change it, whether it is a mental hospital or the mastermind behind the scenes, it is obviously the best thing to choose a Western background.

Although the game has a clear rating agency, it involves some more sensitive things, and it may not be possible to block it directly, but it is definitely not a thought to expose it in the mainstream media.

At the same time, some video and live broadcast platforms, as well as channels, even if the official did not make it clear that this thing should be banned, they will still take the initiative to remove it from the shelves in order to avoid suspicion.

Unless the benefits you bring with this thing are big enough.

A simple plot introduction, including the main gameplay design of the game, is displayed in front of everyone.

"In other words, the protagonist has no means of resistance, can only be chased and killed and then run away?"

"Psychiatric hospitals, and nanobot black technology?"

Looking at the game manuscript displayed by Yang Chen, everyone couldn't help but start talking.

"For horror games, the plot is important but not as important as thought, what really matters is the creation of atmosphere and rhythm control." Yang Chen looked at everyone and said.

For a horror game, the story is important, but it is definitely not in the first place, even if the story is mediocre, or even no story, through the atmosphere of fear, it can also make the player feel scared.

This is the charm of the game, which is more able to allow players to participate in the existence than movies and novels.

"This time, we're going to use motion capture technology." Yang Chen looked at everyone and said.

Everyone nodded their heads and did not object.

Motion capture technology sounds lofty, but in fact, it has developed into a very common technology in both the game industry and the animation industry.

For example, in the previous motion capture technology, if you wanted a truck to appear in the game, you might need a real truck to help you with motion capture.

But now it's all you need to do with a variety of blocks to assemble the blocks, and you don't have to have the producers try to capture all the scenes in the game, which has led to the whole team spending a lot of time debugging keyframes or action scenes.

Now, with the advancement of motion capture technology, it is completely possible to perform motion capture while making game motion production, which greatly saves the production time and cost of the game.

"There is also the style of the game, there happens to be an old nursing home in Qinglong Mountain, Jiangshi City, which is also some years old, and I have already contacted the other party to get consent, so we will collectively look for inspiration on the style of the game in the evening starting next week." Yang Chen looked at everyone and said.

He found this place after looking for a long time on the Internet, and other places that are more in line with the goal are too far away from Jiang City.

Although in Yang Chen's dream memory, he could know very well what the game style was, but Chen Shu didn't know what they were.

So the best way is to let them have an intuitive impression, not just based on the materials they read, and other people's works such as movies and anime.

"Abandoned nursing home......" Chen Shu couldn't help but swallow.

"Go to ...... at night" Zhang Li, an artist who had just joined Nebula Studio not long ago, also swallowed silently.

"Everyone is going to ......," Wang Ye and the others suddenly turned pale.
