Chapter 52: A New Game for Technical Games

Bloody scientists?

Everyone looked at each other, and they could see a trace of surprise in their eyes.

"What kind of game?"

A voice rang out from the crowd, curious.

"Cosmic space themes."

Yang should respond.

He didn't choose to start the game yet, but clicked on a PPT document.

He knew that Mr. An called people from other groups over to watch it together.

The purpose is to let him explain some game settings and gameplay to the whole group, so that they can have a reference.

At the same time, it also allows them to give their opinions on how to improve their game.

At this time, another person in the crowd also asked.

"Then the art of this game should be very magnificent, after all, it takes place in outer space, what space station, alien scenery, cosmic scenery, spectacular planets and the like are quite attractive."

Suddenly, this sentence made the people in the conference room start to talk to each other.

I think this game seems to be very interesting in terms of subject matter.

But Yang Ying shook his head.

"The company's funding is limited, so the money has to be spent wisely. The alien scenery and space stations you are talking about will not come true. ”

"Indeed, the game takes place in the universe. But considering the time cost, we don't plan to do dynamic cosmic scenes, but just use textures. Then make a spaceship and let the player move around it. The grandeur of the universe is different from the focus of the game, so it won't be done. ”

"But it's also easy to get tired of having players in a spaceship from start to finish. So in terms of gameplay, we have made optimizations to make the spaceship as fresh and interesting as possible. ”

Yang Ying opened the concept design of the spaceship and began to explain the plot.

"The background of the game's story, we plan to put it in the form of text on the loading screen, so that players can read it for themselves when reading the note. After all, if you animate, you can't rely on a few screens to show the cause of the game's events. In my estimation, a 30-minute animated short will be needed to explain the cause of the game. ”

"And today's players are very impetuous, and few have the patience to watch the opening animation of the FPS, so they generally skip it and go directly to the game to kill the enemy. I don't know about other types of games, but in the case of shooters, most people do. This is also due to the fact that today's shooters don't have much plot and players can't watch it. ”

"So after discussion, we put the storyline of the cause of the incident on the map interface, let the players see it for themselves, and then start to experience the game."

Hearing this explanation, the people in the conference room looked different.

Everyone has a different idea in their minds.

But this is a decision made by other groups, and they can't say anything.

I simply watched the game demo first.

After Yang Ying showed everyone the design of the spaceship, he finally started the game.

As he clicked on Start, and after loading, the screen appeared.

What caught everyone's eye was rows of sleeping pods.

Then, as if they had received some command, the sleeping pods opened the transparent cover in unison.

However, the person lying inside did not move, and there was no fluctuation on the life indicator on the side.

Apparently dead.

But one of them, at this moment, opened his eyes.

In the next second, the scene transitions to first person.

Yang Ying moved the mouse, and the interface also moved, indicating that it was already ready to be controlled.

"I'll talk about the plot briefly. The time takes place in the future 2050, a manned spacecraft will send a batch of Blue Star science to the space station on Jupiter to participate in scientific research. But on the way to sail, it was hijacked by aliens, and the scientists lying inside were also unplugged from the life delivery device. Only our protagonist survived because of his good physical fitness. At this time, as a scientific researcher, he discovered that the entire ship was alien, and tried to go to the Jupiter space station with the spacecraft. So he had to take up arms and start being a warrior to defend humanity. ”

After Yang Ying finished speaking, the conference room burst into applause again.

But soon, curious voices rang out.

"Hey, but in that case, it's just an ordinary shooter, with a bit of alien elements added at most. If it's a horror game, then where is the horror? ”

"Well said!"

Yang Ying immediately liked it and began to manipulate the characters.

"We have been discussing this issue for a long time. We are a horror shooter, so meet two elements. One is the refreshing feeling when shooting, and the other is the terrifying thriller. But in the early stage, we spent a lot of time not being able to fit these two elements perfectly, so we kept trying to figure it out. Later, I finally came up with a way to get the best of both worlds! ”

Yang Ying clicked on the PPT and flipped to the alien design page to show everyone.

When everyone looked at it, they immediately felt that the design of these aliens was very strange.

There are round lumps that look like meat balls, there are those with beautiful bodies but ugly heads, and there are spider monsters that resemble machines.

In short, these aliens can't see where the horror is.

Yang Ying looked at the expressions of everyone in the conference room, smiled, and continued to speak.

"One, make the aliens weird and distorted, giving people visual horror. Of course, this is a design draft, so it may not feel scary, and it has to match the atmosphere of the game. Second, in the face of this monster, players can pick up guns to vent bullets and fears. In this way, it can give players a sense of relief and give players a chance to overcome their fears for themselves. ”

"Now, let's take a look at the horrors of the game. In order to make it easier for players to adapt to the game, I arranged a high-energy at the beginning. ”

With that, Yang Ying began to control the protagonist to walk out of the cabin and come to the corridor with a very sci-fi sense.

Here, there is no fork in the road, only the end as far as the eye can see, and the left and right passages at the end.

The eyes of the people in the room widened to see what the so-called high energy was.

And Yang Ying also walked directly to the end.

As the distance approached, eerie music came out and echoed in the conference room.

And just as we were about to come to an end, suddenly, high energy appeared.

A spider-like alien dragged the corpse of a human across, accompanied by a loud sound effect that suddenly sounded.

This scene really startled the people in the front row of the unsuspecting conference room.

Then they all admired it.

"I'll go, I can do this."

"Yes, this one, unexpected frightens people really do."

"That "Face" has also used this routine, I think it will be polished, and your game can become a horror masterpiece."

"Great, I think it's possible to get a foothold in the current market, even though the major companies haven't been able to make VR games yet. However, this routine still works well on PC. ”

Listening to everyone's comments, Yang Ying was very satisfied.

He glanced at Mr. An, although he didn't say anything, but the voices around him must have been heard.

So, he started to move on with the demonstration.

"I looked at a few horror games that were the only games and came to the conclusion that fear stems from a lack of firepower. They are very smart, and in "21 o'clock" and "Face", they abandoned the combat system and concentrated on the sense of horror. This is very embarrassing! It's also very uncomfortable! It's not playing the game at all, it's being played by the game! ”

"So in my game, the player must have been scared after encountering the first high energy. At this time, if they are given a gun that can kill all sides, then they will definitely be very excited, and they must have a desire to retaliate back. This kind of psychological change before and after is also one of the means to mobilize the player's emotions. ”

"Think about it, since I can kill monsters with my own hands, what am I afraid of? If you dare to scare me, I will shoot you. I'm sure players will experience the wonders of the game with that in mind. ”

After speaking, the conference room burst into applause again.

There are also some echoing voices.

"Looks like a good game, come on, jump group!"

"I hope you can use the sales of this game to occupy a place in the horror market and add some glory to the company!"

"I think players will love this game, it's horror and shooting, and players can also use guns to deal with these scary-looking aliens, eliminate their fears, and achieve a sense of happiness. Well, that's good! ”

Hearing the praise of his colleagues, Yang Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Mr. An stood up.

The entire conference room immediately fell silent, and they all looked at him.

But Mr. An just nodded and gave Yang Ying a thumbs up.

"Yes, come on, if you have a problem, you can communicate with other groups."

Then he glanced at the people in the room and commanded.

"You too, try to help Yang Gong's jumping group. I hope you can take some time to come out and help Yang Gong. ”

"It's called Bloody Scientist, okay, I remember. Do it well, polish it well, this horror game market, we want to play technical games! Do you understand!? ”

The members of the group looked at each other, and then spoke in unison.

"Good!!"
