"What the...... Biased, right? ”

Dongjin International Airport!

When he came to the pick-up hall, Gu Sheng saw the placard printed out in standard Chinese in the pick-up crowd at a glance-

【Welcome Mr. Gu Sheng to Japan】

For a while, I thought I had become the protagonist of Mr. Guo's cross talk.

Who the taught you to write signs like that?

I can understand that you are writing the sign in Mandarin out of courtesy, but this sign is ...... There's too much ambiguity, right?

stepped forward and saw a sign holding a formal and delicate neon girl, holding a bouquet of flowers in her arms.

It's strange that although Huaguo and Neon are both Asians, Gu Sheng can still tell the difference between Miss Huaguo and Sakura Sister at a glance.

He couldn't tell why.

"How many wows are you? I'm Gu Sheng. ”

Coming to the reception girl, Gu Sheng stretched out his hand.

Gu Sheng's Japanese is a bit lame, after all, he hasn't learned much, and he can barely be regarded as a newcomer, and he still uses English for daily communication.

"Ah...... Yes! Haihahihay! Empty wow! ”

Obviously, Gu Sheng's youth far exceeded the expectations of the girl who came to pick him up.

was stunned for a moment, and the reception girl hurriedly stepped forward, gave the bouquet to Gu Sheng, and bowed:

"Hello Mr. Gu, please bear with me if you are far away! (English)"

Then, put the sign away and made a gesture of invitation to Gu Sheng:

"Moriya's executive and game affairs department executives are waiting for you outside, please come with me."

"Very beautiful flowers, thank you, thank you."

Gu Sheng took the bouquet, nodded with a smile, and raised his hand to signal the pick-up ceremony to lead the way.

All the way out of the pick-up hall, when he was close to the door, Gu Sheng had already seen the high-level Kemera waiting outside.

The leader is none other than Tetsuya Moriya, the managing director of the game business of Komera.

To his left and right are the secretary Sanae Inoue and the head of the game department Higashinoda.

Behind the three, there were five or six other people, all in black suits and white shirts and ties, standing next to three black cars.

There are two sedans in the front and rear, and a business MPV in the middle.

From a distance, it looks like the underworld.

Oh no, it doesn't look like the underworld, as if Cormela really has that background.

Gu Sheng complained in his heart and walked out of the airport through the open electric door.

On the other side, Moriya warmly greeted him with his secretary and minister:

"Hello, Mr. Gu, you are far away, you Haihan."

"Where, where, Mr. Moritani is too polite,"

Gu Sheng shook hands with Moriya and others:

"I've heard of the name of Kemera for a long time, and now I am honored to come to Neon to cooperate."

You're welcome.

When the two sides meet for business cooperation, they will inevitably greet each other.

Coupled with the unique politeness of neon, the two sides bowed to each other, and after greeting for five minutes, Moriya reached out and asked Gu Sheng to get in the car:

"It's inconvenient for us to talk here, Gu Sang, please get in the car, let's go to your hotel first."

The industry of Comela is huge.

It is said that it is a comprehensive digital entertainment company, but in fact, it is also involved in industries such as hotels, clubs, film and television, and comprehensive entertainment.

And this is also the future development direction of Golden Wind - a pan-game entertainment company with games as the main body, multiple industry branches in parallel, and all-round three-dimensional profits.

A few brief conversations on the way were mostly topics unrelated to game cooperation.

After about 10 minutes of driving, the convoy arrived at the InterContinental Dongjin Bay Hotel, which is located diagonally opposite the Comeirah Company Building.

This is a luxury four-star hotel invested by Kemera, and a luxury executive suite was specially arranged for Gu Sheng.

On the first day of arriving in Neon, the boat was tiring, and no matter how anxious Kemera was, it was impossible to say that Gu Sheng would take office immediately.

Rest for half a day.

In the evening, Gu Sheng was invited to attend the reception banquet specially arranged for him by the senior management of Kemera.

……

After a few drinks between the two sides during the banquet, Moriya spoke:

"We have already observed the trial version of the project sent by Gu Sang before, and we are shocked."

Yes, just yesterday after buying business trip supplies with Xiao Nezha, Gu Sheng used an afternoon to sort out PT's business plan.

After all, it's a trial version, and the overall game flow is not long, plus he has system assistance, and the speed is very fast.

And the whole project is only about ten pages, so taking advantage of last night and this afternoon, Moriya and others also took the time to do two rounds of observation and discussion.

The unanimous conclusion is that Si Guoyi.

Here I have to mention the usual horror game setting in this world.

Generally speaking, the root logic of the design of a horror game is to concretize the abstract concept of fear and express it with graphics.

For example, creating a female ghost, designing a monster, etc., let the "conceptual fear" fall on the "concrete entity" and place it in front of the player.

But PT is different.

Although it also concretizes fear, designing the terrat and the female ghost Lisa.

However, through the enclosed space, the design of fright points, fragmented information full of metaphorical hints, and increasingly bizarre scene changes, the "conceptual fear" is extracted from the "concrete entity" and imprinted in the player's heart.

The shackles of physical and psychological double fear.

This kind of method is by no means something that can be achieved by a random designer.

Even, Higashinoda, who has served as the head of the game division of Comera for many years, couldn't help but say bluntly - this trial version alone is enough to make Gu Sheng firmly sit on the throne of the 'father of psychological horror'.

Undoubtedly, this gave the people of Kemera a shocking understanding of Gu Sheng's strength, and at the same time, they also had double their confidence in this IP.

A heartfelt hype is essential.

In addition to this, Moriya is more concerned about:

"So in terms of the game itself, is Gu Sang also ready to continue this style and expand this confusing story?"

Hearing this, Gu Sheng nodded and shook his head again:

"The style will definitely continue, after all, this is the main tone of our IP,"

"But the story is no longer it, or not quite it."

Yes???

As soon as this statement came out!

Everyone in Kemera shouted softly, and they were all a little stunned!

What does Gu Sang mean by this?

The official version no longer continues the story of PT, or not exactly the story of PT!

Could it be that PT is just a storyline that he came up with for the demo version?

The main chapters are actually deeper and more expansive than this?

"Uh...... Intimate Marseille Gusang,"

Moriya was also a little confused, and raised his hand to signal:

"Please forgive me for being stupid and not knowing much about what Gu Sang said, can you elaborate on it?"

And with Moriya's words, the people of Kemera also put down their chopsticks one after another, looking like they were listening.

“…… Parallel,"

Seeing Gu Sheng think for a while, he raised his chopsticks:

"Just like these two chopsticks,"

"The Silent Hill Demo, also known as PT, will tell an obscure murder case in a puzzle-solving way,"

"And the official version that will come out later is also caused by a homicide,"

"What I'm going to do is make these two chopsticks independent of each other, but—"

Speaking of which.

Gu Sheng stretched out his chopsticks, made a gesture of clamping the chopsticks, and touched the tips of the chopsticks together:

"Different paths lead to the same end."

Hiss——!!!

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the banquet suddenly gasped, only to feel that their goosebumps rose!

Gu Sheng's idea is even more terrifying than PT!

Lunatic!

Simply crazy!

Everyone here is from the game business branch, they all understand games, and they all understand what Gu Sheng is talking about.

The design of the demo version is crazy enough!

But!

In Gu Sheng's opinion, this is far from crazy enough!

Two lines in parallel and different paths to the same end!

God knows how complex such an architecture is!

Even, in their opinion, this demo version, which is enough to support an entire game, is just an appetizer independent of the official version in Gu Sheng's opinion!

Other words!

This "PT" not only ensures that the psychological horror characteristics of Silent Hill are fully displayed, but also ensures that an obscure story is told in a limited time, and at the same time, it also ensures that this story is outside the main line and related to the main line!

This is equivalent to a player using Neymar's iconic rainbow to complete Messi's single ride over seven, and the last big Ibrahimovic volley to score!

Unbelievable.

It can even be said to be incredible!

"This ...... This ......"

Moriya only felt that his scalp was numb!

This kind of game design idea is unheard of for him!

For a while, I couldn't help but grin again and again!

"This ...... With all due respect, Gu Sang, is this kind of design too complicated? ”

Gu Sheng chuckled.

He knew that Moriya was not asking 'is it complicated', but 'can you do it'.

After all, his thoughts just now revealed four big words inside and out-

I want them all!

But such a design is undoubtedly a double-edged sword!

Play well, start a sect, a demo version shocked the market!

If you don't play well, it's a mess, it's better to follow the rules honestly!

In this regard, Gu Sheng is very confident.

Of course I can't do it haha!

But Hideo Kojima can.

I can ask God.

"Please rest assured that Mr. Moriya is here,"

Gu Sheng smiled:

"After all, the reputation of the demo version will also greatly affect our future cooperation on the game itself."

Whew-

Moriya breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Sheng can say this, which shows that he is very confident in his plan.

"Then we'll see."

As he spoke, Moriya raised his glass and toasted Gu Sheng.

After finishing the general idea, the two sides put down their wine glasses, and Gu Sheng asked:

"Oh yes, Mr. Moriya, what's going on with the budget?"

Budget.

One of the most important aspects of game development.

Previously, on the issue of PT's development cost, Golden Wind and Kemera had several rounds of discussions.

At the beginning, Kemera gave PT a cost of 1 million dollars, which is about 7 million yuan.

This budget is not low.

After all, the original intention of the Silent Hill project this time was only to enrich the variety of games that Kemera had in the Dongjin Electric link.

However, after Gu Sheng heard this budget, he shook his head again and again.

Less.

You know, he has high expectations for this game, both in terms of graphics quality and full sensory experience, and he wants the best results.

And for the best results, you need to increase your budget even further.

As a result, after discussion, the Komera side raised the budget to 1.5 million dollars.

But such a budget still can't meet Gu Sheng's expected requirements.

In this regard, Gu Sheng also said-

Originally, as a special guest chief game director, a labor dispatch person "seconded" to Comela, it was inconvenient for him to dictate the budget of the demo version.

After all, the production cost of the demo version has nothing to do with their golden wind, it is all up to Komela to decide.

If you make 1 million dollars, I will do the effect of 1 million dollars, and if you make 500,000 dollars, I will do the effect of 500,000 dollars.

But.

It is worth noting that the effect of the demo version and player feedback will directly affect the sales of the main body of the game.

The more amazing our demo is, the higher the sales of the official version will be.

The original idea of Silent Hill fits perfectly with the psychological fear that I do best.

I have the confidence and belief that I have the ability to take this IP to unprecedented heights and even make it a milestone in the history of somatosensory horror games, one of the greatest works.

And it depends on the budget.

As soon as Gu Sheng said this, he said it!

Moriya was numb at the time!

It's not because of Gu Sheng's words!

It's because he's so crazy that he has capital!

After all, they've already set a gaming milestone!

Titanfall is there!

That is the god IP made by Gu Sheng himself!

And now, Gu Sheng has made such expectations for "Silent Hill"!

This is too tempting for Moriya, and indeed for the entire Comera.

This is a horror game god IP!

If Gu Sheng is really done, then their Kemera will become the only true god in the horror game circle and dominate the market in an all-round way!

After all, in the current horror game circle, there is no one who can fight!

And so!

After several discussions!

"Eventually,"

Moriya says:

"We decided to increase the budget for the demo to $3 million."

That's about $20 million.

A demo version, half an APEX on top.

Interesting!

Gu Sheng secretly picked his big finger.

In this way, he will be able to use the most advanced "Phoenix engine" available today.

Yes, the reason why he has always wanted to budget for Comeraga is to use this engine, which can be called "the best picture presentation quality in the world today"!

Different from the 'Dream 5' engine that Golden Wind has always been accustomed to, the Phoenix engine, which was just released half a year ago, has done a lot of work in terms of visual effects and picture presentation!

Not only has it been further upgraded and optimized with real-time dynamic ray tracing, global illumination simulation, virtual micro-polygon geometry and other technologies, but it also has a real-time Voxel-based GI with excellent results, truly achieving what you see in the development stage is what you get, greatly improving the production fineness and efficiency.

And its original 'virtual eyeball' technology realizes the visual effect of simulating the human eye.

It's not an exaggeration to say that it's just a matter of picture expressiveness.

If you say 'Dream 5' is to make the game world as real as it is.

Then 'Phoenix' is a complete virtual visual architecture of the second world.

Of course!

The engine is not perfect either.

Although the Phoenix engine achieves the ultimate presentation in terms of visual effects.

However, its full-sense technology and motion assistance support are not as advanced as those of 'Dream 5'.

The so-called gains must be gains.

Phoenix is a biased player.

But!

This kind of bias is exactly what Gu Sheng needs!

Silent Hill doesn't require too much full-sense technical support, nor does it have too much movement performance, so it doesn't need action assistance!

The main requirement of psychological horror is immersion, and the most brutal and direct way to achieve immersion is to infinitely improve the picture quality!

Because among the five human senses, vision is the highest priority!

"Amazing,"

Gu Sheng nodded heartily and raised his glass:

"On behalf of the players, I would like to thank Mr. Moriya and Komera for their understanding and support."

"Then please Gu Sang!"

Moriya took the cup and drank it all.

Both sides understood what each other cared about most.

The atmosphere of the banquet that followed was much more relaxed.

And Gu Sheng also took the opportunity to ask Sen Gu about the current branch industries of Kemera, as well as the concept of business development.

If you want to become bigger and stronger and create brilliance, the wind of gold in the future must realize a multi-line parallel three-dimensional industrial structure.

And in this regard, Comera has plenty of experience.

Ready-made experience is in front of you, no prostitution is not prostitution.

Push the cup and change the lamp!

By the time the feast had dispersed, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

Gu Sheng was a little drunk, and went back to his suite to take a shower.

Don't say it, Lao Lu's previous analysis was really right.

The toiletries that little Nezha brought to him will indeed remind him not to forget to 'report work'.

The video call came, and Shen Miaomiao answered almost in seconds.

I saw the little Nezha in the video, who was lying crooked on the sofa at the moment, trying to be a lying flat salted fish.
