In the office, Yang Chen talked to Hu Jun a little, and preliminarily determined the follow-up part of "The Binding of Isaac", the optimization of the source code and the outsourcing of subsequent art modeling, and at the same time, Yang Chen also revealed the news that they may be responsible for the outsourcing of his new game in the future.

At present, the studio has three programs and one art, and many places do not outsource and rely on three people, not to mention the time-consuming, the most important thing is that the things made are likely to not meet the quality requirements.

In terms of modeling game characters and objects in the simplest terms, unless you choose to buy the mods in the official game engine store directly, Chen Shu alone will have to do the Year of the Monkey.

In terms of program, there are three people Wang Ye, plus the convenient official game engine work, which is not too difficult, and the outsourcing of the program basically does not need to be found, all that is needed is the outsourcing of art and music.

And the strength of chasing dreams can still meet the requirements.

gave the contact information of Wang Ye and Chen Shu to Dream Chasing, and the follow-up work content handover is their business, what Yang Chen needs is for them to give what they want.

After solving this matter, Yang Chen returned home, and as soon as he arrived home, Yang Chen smelled a smell of instant noodles.

Yang Chen looked at Wang Yaliang, who was sitting in the living room, sitting cross-legged on a chair, holding chopsticks in one hand and holding a mobile phone in the other, and laughing silly while eating instant noodles, and couldn't help but feel speechless for a while.

I want to complain, but I don't know what to say.

"Isn't there a canteen in the software park? Why don't you eat in the cafeteria? Yang Chen asked Wang Yaliang helplessly.

"It's too late to get off work! The canteen in the software park didn't have anything to eat at that time. Wang Yaliang pouted and took a sip of noodles, and then said with a little grievance.

"Is it okay to get off work at 5:15? I also deliberately advanced 15 minutes so that I could go to the cafeteria earlier than other companies. Yang Chen said helplessly.

"They are all working so seriously, and I am embarrassed to get off work first, so I can only wait for them to be together." Listening to Yang Chen's words, Wang Yaliang was even more aggrieved.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell them tomorrow that they don't usually need to work overtime, after all, we don't pay them overtime." Yang Chen shook his head a little helplessly, walked to the refrigerator next to him, opened the refrigerator door, and took a look at the ingredients inside.

"Don't eat instant noodles, eating too much is not good for your health, I'll make you two egg cakes, and you'll be fine." Yang Chen reached out and took the instant noodles away and threw them into the trash can next to him, then took out a small bag of starch and four eggs from the refrigerator.

Ten minutes later

"It's a little salty." Wang Yaliang, who was eating egg cakes, gave an evaluation.

"It's good to eat some, okay, I'll go to the room first, I already have an idea of the design plan for the new game." Yang Chen pursed his lips, stood up and walked quickly towards the room.

"What are you doing running so fast?" Eating the egg cake in his hand, Wang Yaliang muttered.

But then, suddenly realizing something, she looked at the pot on the stove and the bowl in front of her.

"By the way, when you're done, you remember to wash the bowl and pot!" At this time, Yang Chen's voice came from inside the house.

"Ahh Why should I wash! Wang Yaliang was shocked.

"If you don't cook, you only eat to wash the dishes and brush the pots, we have already agreed!" Laughing voices continued to come from inside the room.

It seems to be fine, but ...... When I first started eating instant noodles, I didn't have to wash the dishes at all!

Ignoring Wang Yaliang's very 'aggrieved' voice outside the living room, Yang Chen laughed twice in the room, and after hearing the sound of water in the kitchen outside, he carefully opened the screen window of the bedroom little by little, and then squatted down and reached under the bed to grope.

After more than ten seconds, after touching for a long time and not touching what he wanted, Yang Chen was stunned.

Eh, no, where is the cigarette I hid here?

Hurriedly lay down and glanced inside, and the box of cigarettes that was originally placed here had become a post-it note.

'Dear Comrade Yang, when you read this letter, your cigarettes have already been confiscated by me, and I think you have to explain to me well, what about not smoking? Where did this smoke come from#^.^#'

Yang Chen: ヽ(*.) >Д<)o゜

Half an hour later......

Yang Chen sat in front of the computer, and glanced at Wang Yaliang, who was watching the drama on the bed with two bare feet on the bed behind him, patting the bed rhythmically, with a biscuit stick in his mouth.

"What are you looking at? Smoking is not good for your health, and you must not want me to smoke second-hand smoke! Wang Yaliang said very seriously: "Moreover, smoking is easy to have kidney deficiency, so if you want to smoke, you can eat snacks, and use snacks instead of cigarettes to quit smoking as soon as possible." ”

Sounds reasonable, but are you sure you don't want to have a snack on your own?

Yang Chen looked at the three snacks in front of him a little speechlessly, and there were a lot of snacks next to Wang Yaliang on the bed.

If you can quit cigarettes, you can quit it, after all, it's really bad for your health, but then again, when did you get addicted to smoking?

Shaking his head a little helplessly, no longer thinking about these things, Yang Chen refocused his attention on the document called "Octopath Traveler" that had just been opened on the computer in front of him, and continued to start the plot design on the game.

'Monster: weak system settings, armor value, weakness attributes, break status'

'Player: BP Action Point (Maximum) Extra Basic Attack Chance, Skill Level Increase Lv1'

Just like Yang Chen announced before, this will be a retro JRPG, a pixel-style JRPG.

But again, Yang Chen does not plan to make it according to the pixel game, this is not the same as "The Combination of Isaac", because of the lack of funds and chose to use a pixel style game, which is a deliberate retro.

Instead of compromising because of cost, copying the pixel art of the past in order to experience the pixel game is just following the footsteps of the old technology and iterating on the pixel art with modern technology, which is what Yang Chen and their team need to do.

'3D modeling, plus pixel mapping ......'

Some of the requirements for the performance of the game's graphics were constantly added by Yang Chen into the design documents.

If it's just like "The Combination of Isaac", it's not actually a pure pixel art, but just put the canvas to the maximum, and then directly depict the pixel art.

This method is more convenient.

But in "Octopath Traveler", Yang Chen wanted a more detailed painting style, which required the artist to first make a clear version of the finished color as the base draft, and then nest it into a special pixel art template.

This is definitely going to explode in terms of cost, and the real pixel art is actually a very laborious and expensive style.

(The best way to save costs for indie games is to do the kind of vector style of flash, similar to the Hollow Knight and the early Isaac are like this, if the Hollow Knight wants to make pixels, then the cost will increase at least three times and may be more than that, and Isaac is also the first to make money, and then the rebirth series will begin to take the pixel style)

Even pixel art is a separate art style, and the pixel style of the vast majority of indie games is not actually pure pixels.

Visually, the average player who has not studied it will be completely unable to distinguish the difference.
