In the Nebula game, Yang Chen was discussing with his team.

Although in the follow-up content of "The Sims", a plan has been decided.

That is, the DLC thing is decided to be handed over to UEgame and them.

Anyway, they're good at this kind of thing.

And the content related to the follow-up "The Sims" is also based on the framework of the whole game, which is not very complicated.

But in addition to the official follow-up content, the various mods made by the player's community for the love of the game are also a very important part of the elements.

Although it is a VR game, compared to the PC platform, the VR version of the game can be said to be quite difficult to develop mod content, but it is not completely impossible to develop.

For example, "Mount and Blade", which was previously developed by Nebula Games, has now given birth to more VR versions of mods.

Of course, it is limited to some MOD content that has been slightly repaired and modified under the official release permission of Nebula Games.

The large-scale MOD content involving the combat system and the content gameplay plot is still approved by the Nebula Game MOD community and successfully made with technical support.

But for The Sims, mods of this magnitude are actually sufficient.

Maintaining vitality also doesn't really involve overhauls in the combat system and gameplay plot.

For example, a regular piece of clothing, or a decoration of a house, these can greatly increase the vitality of the game.

Take Nebula Games' first large-scale game, The Elder Scrolls Online: Skyrim, for example, which is still running tens of thousands of times a day, and it has been more than a few years since the game was launched.

Although there are large mods, more of the game's vitality relies on a variety of equipment skins and player-made followers to keep the game alive.

So on "The Sims", Yang Chen and the team on the UEgame side also discussed.

There are no restrictions on the content of modifying costumes and furniture layouts, and even tools developed in VR versions will be written for these modders.

However, the expansion of gameplay content, such as new classes and some stories to be launched in the future, is still based on DLC content.

"What's the next step for The Sims?"

In the office, Yang Chen looked at this week's mission report, and the follow-up DLC content of "Assassin's Creed: Odyssey", that is, the origin of Bayek, has officially started.

But then Yang Chen suddenly thought of something and asked Wang Ye, who reported the relevant situation to him.

"Increase the placement of online advertising, as well as the hot search heat related to purchases." Wang Ye said a little strangely.

Hasn't it always been like this in terms of propaganda direction?

This is also true for the subsequent popularity promotion of Assassin's Creed: Odyssey.

"It's a bit unsuitable for The Sims, this game is more special, and the promotion of directly buying exposure is a little unsuitable." Yang Chen thought about it and shook his head and said.

"That?" Listening to Yang Chen's words, Wang Ye was a little stunned.

He is not from the marketing department, and it is not his business to do promotion planning.

was bitter in his heart, but on the surface, Wang Ye still had a humble expression of seeking advice.

"The Sims, this is the main gameplay of the game, it is good to directly hold a life script competition, on the one hand, it can allow players to participate directly, and on the other hand, it can also directly show the core gameplay of the game." Chen Xu thought about it and said.

Life Script Contest!?

Listening to Yang Chen's words, Wang Ye was stunned for a moment before he could react.

"In addition, we are also doing a demonstration here to show players what kind of activity gameplay it is." Yang Chen looked at Wang Ye, who was still a little stunned, and added.

In fact, the Sims is a game used to shoot a story movie.

Originally, in the game of "The Sims", if you choose a director or actor, there is actually such a gameplay, but it is not very detailed, just like the painter, it is actually a very simple mode.

Another point is that Yang Chen actually had the idea of making a movie for a long time.

Mainly when I was developing the meta game "Under the Legend", which broke the fourth wall.

But he couldn't find a suitable time for a while, and Yang Chen knew that his level was still not enough.

Earlier, in order to produce "Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Pain", I deliberately went to a professional academy and learned the relevant knowledge of directing, but at best, it can only be regarded as a wild way.

It's fine to use a game engine, but if you shoot with a camera, you can't afford it.

But if you use the game to tell a story, that's fine.

And the story that Yang Chen wants to show, combined with the unique immersion of VR games, will have a more shocking effect.

As for the effects, the player will be attached to the main character of the story, which is simply a long cutscene.

already had such an idea in his heart, Yang Chen looked at Wang Ye, who had not come back to his senses a little, and asked him to call everyone to go to the conference room for a meeting later.

I was in front of the computer and gently tapped on the keyboard on the desk.

A few moments later, a new document appears on the desktop of the computer.

Truman's World

As for why he chose this movie, Yang Chen also has some ideas.

Combined with the unique immersive experience of VR, plus the previous meta game brought fire by "Under the Legend".

It can be said that it forms a perfect combination with the story of this movie, and so does the style itself.

At first, the film was actually a sci-fi thriller-based route, but later it was modified a second time and became a drama with comedic elements.

…………………………

Compared with other decisions, the efficiency of this activity plan proposed by Yang Chen can be said to be extremely fast.

While players are still immersed in the world of "The Sims" and studying more and more interesting gameplay, Yang Chen's official blog and the official website of Nebula Games have already sent the latest content news.
