Chapter 211: This escape, not the other's escape
"Putting the player in jail?"
"This ......"
ββ¦β¦β
Time is tight, and the task is heavy!
After deciding on the game, Gu Sheng immediately began to arrange for participation in GDC.
First of all, let Secretary Chu prepare a reply letter and send it back to the GDC organizer, saying that Golden Wind is honored to accept the invitation and will contact the organizer later to understand the specific rules of participation.
After that, with a wave of his hand, he immediately convened all the senior executives of the project department for a discussion meeting before the project was established.
The so-called good work is better than catching up with it!
Now that the Escape Whistleblower DLC is almost complete, all that's left is some finishing touches and minor bug fixes.
Everyone is feeling empty, and they are feeling lost because they don't have the next goal!
The good news came -
GDC invited, they are going to a bigger stage!
What is the weight of GDC, everyone in the project department will not know.
For insiders, GDC is even heavier than the world's four major game shows!
Because this is the only platform in the world where the top professionals in the industry meet!
Or even an exaggeration.
Shine at the four major game shows only proves that your game production skills are recognized by players and the market.
If you can win a full house in GDC, you're a real awesome!
But there is truth to that.
The so-called peers are enemies.
The wrongdoers applauded you, which means that you do have two brushes, which makes people have to be convinced.
So!
Hear the news!
The entire project department was a sensation, and they rushed to the conference room as fast as possible, with a posture of 'I can't wait, I want to go to GDC now to pretend to be forced in front of my peers'!
However!
Next second!
After hearing Director Gu say the project setting for this meeting, everyone's excited expressions froze on their faces.
Jail???
As soon as this concept came out, the whole office fell silent!
Everyone looked at each other and showed surprise on their faces!
And!
According to the director, players not only have to go to jail, but also find opportunities to try to escape from prison in various ways!
This game...... It's too practicing, isn't it?
Seeing that the Manchu Dynasty was divided in civil and military affairs, and he didn't know what to say, he saw Gu Sheng smile and waved his hand:
"It's okay, just say what you think."
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, in the end, it was Lu Bian who spoke first:
"That's right, old Gu,"
"Although crime games are not unusual, people like ours who commit such a big crime...... Isn't it rare? β
Lu Bian has watched a lot of film and television dramas with the theme of prison breaking.
But he is really unheard of to make this thing into a game, and he is a little worried about market acceptance.
However, before Gu Sheng could speak, he heard Jiang Yun speak:
"There have been games of this type before, probably seven or eight years ago, on PC,"
"It's called "Prison Break", which is a game authorized by the IP of the American drama of the same name, produced by the Chicago studio of Mi Guo Yunwei Games,"
"When the game was first released, it was still popular, but it quickly declined due to mediocre gameplay design and bugs."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
He had thought that this type of game had never been seen in this world.
Unexpectedly, as early as seven or eight years ago, this idea was pioneered.
But think about it.
In this world, there are "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Prison Break", and under the influence of this kind of film and television drama, it is not surprising that such themed games have appeared.
"What does the so-called mediocre gameplay mean?"
Gu Sheng wanted to know why this genuine IP-licensed game was so miserable that it almost disappeared from the game circle, and now only an experienced practitioner like Jiang Yun can remember it.
"Quests, infinite quests, main and side nesting,"
ζ±δΊ says:
"Let's say I want to prepare a prison riot, then I need a new toothbrush sharpened, and the toothbrush needs to be changed at the jailer, and the jailer needs cigarettes to bribe, and the cigarettes need to be changed from the boss, and the boss needs you to join the gang, and joining the gang needs you to please the younger brother, and to please the younger brother needs soap......"
"And, along the way, you'll encounter a variety of different side quests,"
"The end result is that as you progress deeper in the game, your map will be full of quest question marks,"
"Coupled with sparse optimizations and vicious bugs that appear from time to time,"
"The player successfully synchronized with the protagonist of the game and experienced what it was like to be in prison,"
"That's what led to the game...... Mr. Gu, what's wrong with you? β
Jiang Yun didn't finish speaking!
I saw Gu Sheng holding his heart, and he seemed a little uncomfortable.
"I ...... It's okay......"
Gu Sheng waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.
He just thinks it's too heart-wrenching!
Although Jiang Yun complained about the game "Prison Break" in this world.
But as Gu Sheng, who worked under Ayu in his previous life, he always felt that every word was sarcastic about him.
The screen is full of question marks, countless branches, and all kinds of bizarre and even vicious bugs......
Fortunately, "Prison Break" was a stand-alone game back then, otherwise with the addition of a 'potato server', the Ubisoft family bucket would be complete.
"That shouldn't happen in our game,"
Taking a deep breath, Gu Sheng said:
"Because this time, our game will focus on the story,"
"And on top of that, there's going to be an unprecedented innovation."
Speaking of which!
I saw that everyone in the conference room stretched their necks one after another, their eyes full of anticipation.
Gu Sheng's creativity is obvious to all.
The whimsical ideas of that day can bring a lot of shock to the game circle every time.
This time, at the GDC conference, Golden Wind attended an international game exchange event for the first time.
What surprises did Gu Sheng prepare?
"It's a two-player co-op, and the whole game has to be done by two people working together."
Hissββ!!!
As soon as this statement came out!
The whole room was filled with gasps!
The game must be completed by two people working together!
This means that in this online game, there will be no AI set up!
That's too demanding! I actually asked for a friend!
"And the fundamental reason for such a restriction is that in this game, we will enable bilinear game plot advancement,"
"Two people, two perspectives, two story lines connected in the same story,"
Gu Sheng says:
"Sometimes two players will be in the same scenario, and sometimes they will be in two different scenarios entirely,"
"The two complement each other and are indispensable,"
"Even at the same time, the different choices made by two players will directly affect the direction of the story and the occurrence of the plot,"
Speaking of this, Gu Sheng clapped his hands:
"Friends, this is no longer an online adventure game, this is a real two-player co-op game,"
"It's a two-male lead movie shot by us."
Whoopββ!!!
Gu Sheng said!
Just listen to the commotion in the conference room!
'Co-op play' in the truest sense of the word!
It's not like a way to survive, with four people teaming up to fight zombies, and the ultimate goal is only a safe house.
It's not a mess in the kitchen, friends are cooking online, and the ultimate goal is only to serve the food on time.
The core of this game has gone far beyond the category of 'action mutual assistance'.
It's no longer as simple as 'picking up teammates' and 'passing dishes'.
Instead, starting from the plot, the two players involved in the game are deeply bound together, both of which are indispensable!
This is the real 'cooperation', the real 'cooperation' of different paths!
"Of course, because at the moment, there has never been a game like it in the game market,"
Gu Sheng says:
"So for us, this game is quite difficult to make,"
"Before the end of this week, I will make a business plan and distribute it to everyone,"
"Later, at the formal project approval meeting, we will have a detailed discussion on the presentation of the game."
Meeting!
Say a word to adjourn!
Everyone stood up in high spirits, gearing up for the new project!
"Oh yes!"
Just as he was about to leave, Lu Bian suddenly remembered something, and stopped and looked at Gu Sheng:
"After talking for a long time, the name of our new project hasn't been decided yet, right?"
'Shhhhh......h
"Patronizing and pondering this setting......
So what's the new project called? β
'Gu always didn't think about what to call it......
'The director revealed that he ......'
I heard Gu Sheng speak: "Escape." β
Yes???
Hear it!
Everyone was stunned!
Wait a minute? Is it our amnesia or Mr. Gu's amnesia?
Escape? Haven't we just released it less than a week?
Is it going to be a sequel?
Miles and Willen Parker's two-person two-view cooperative escape?
But hasn't the director always been interested in sequels?
Seeing everyone's suspicious eyes, Gu Sheng laughed:
"This escape, not the other,"
"Escape"
"Abbreviation - Escape."
β¦β¦
With the preparation of new projects!
The original high morale of the golden wind is even more vigorous, and they are gearing up one by one, waiting for the opening of new projects.
And Gu Sheng also extracted "Escape" from the system, and began to recompile and plan to transform it into a suitable transplant somatosensory cabin.
It's not an easy task.
Especially in the mid-game, that ten-minute chase long shot is enough to be called a god.
On PC, since the entire game is from a third-person perspective, the expressiveness of the camera will be relatively easy to shape.
However, in the somatosensory cabin, it is quite difficult to achieve a smooth transition between CG and the first perspective.
Gu Sheng also knew that such a conversion would be very difficult.
But he still didn't hesitate to choose to make it a somatosensory cabin game.
Because, for him, a traverser, "Escape" is just an appetizer.
The real 'Trophy Maker' will be his next two-player co-op game.
In order to cater to the current mainstream of the market, and at the same time to further enhance the sense of substitution and novelty, that work must be made into a somatosensory cabin game.
That's right!
It's better to do a good job of preparation in the early stage, and use "Escape" to make a sample first!
Of course!
Gu Sheng, who worked so hard, also enjoyed the emperor-level treatment he deserved!
Xiao Nezha is an angry person, and he does what he says, and takes care of this week's housework.
In addition, serving tea, pouring water and cutting fruits, all of which are also readily available, and the service is in place.
Later, Gu Sheng was a little scared, for fear that Xiao Nezha would poison his tea or spray poison into his fruits.
In the end, he was scolded by Xiao Nezha before he began to enjoy it with peace of mind.
It's called 'I'm much more relieved about this.'"
Time flies!
Friday in the blink of an eye!
Dada-
[Leo gradually walked away with his wife and children, and the light blue sedan finally disappeared on the road in the wilderness...... (Ending 2: End)]
Stops with the clicking of the keyboard.
The last storyboard is complete.
The hundred-page project has finally been completed.
"Whew-"
Gu Sheng picked up a piece of apple next to his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, stretching:
"It's finally done."
The voice has not fallen!
Click.
The door of the study opened, and Xiao Nezha probed his brain and probed his brain to stick his little brain melon in: "It's finished?" β
Gu Sheng shuddered.
He didn't shout that sentence just now, the volume was normal.
So how did little Nezha, who has been playing by himself in the living room, hear it?
"Are you...... Standing in the doorway all the time? β
Gu Sheng's expression was a little unbelievable.
"I ......"
Shen Miaomiao scratched her head, she had actually been eavesdropping on the door for ten minutes:
"Just passing by, that's it."
"That's quite a coincidence,"
Gu Sheng smiled, didn't pierce it, stood up and moved his limbs, and looked at the time by the way:
"Yo, it's almost eight o'clock? Is the Whistleblower DLC coming soon? β
"That's right! So I'm here to remind you that it's time for fun! β
As she spoke, she saw Shen Miaomiao raise the two bags of potato chips in her hand.
"You're dark enough,"
Gu Sheng couldn't cry or laugh:
"Watching others squeak and scream for dinner, do you really regard the anchors as a source of happiness?"
"Oh, isn't that what they're live for!"
Shen Miaomiao said and threw Gu Sheng a bag of potato chips, walked up and pushed him to the living room:
"Let's go, let's relax, and by the way, see how we sold in the first week."
Quietly see the poor dagger!!
Not bad!
In fact, Shen Miaomiao's desire to watch the anchor play the escape DLC is secondary!
Her main concern is the sales results of the first week of "Escape", which is about to be released!
Thirteen billion!!
Just today!!
Of course!
At the beginning, her 1.3 billion was only an estimate, and the actual sales situation will definitely be different from her estimate.
But even if there is a discrepancy, it will definitely not be too big!
After all, yesterday she couldn't help it, and secretly checked the sales of "Escape"-
The total global sales are 1.03 million sets!
Sales exceeded one million sets in six days!
There is no doubt that this is a terrifying sales for a horror game.
But for the return to the cost that Shen Miaomiao has been worried about, it is not a matter of concern!
A million sets only! The total sales are 18 million dollars! The average rake-off is 25%! Profit of 13.5 million dollars!
There is a long difference between the cost of 18.15 million dollars!
And!
Judging from the current sales momentum, in just one day, it is impossible for escape to break out instantly, and directly make up for the loss with a wave of frenzy!
Unless the system cheats!
So!
With a pop, Shen Miaomiao nestled into the sofa, sat cross-legged, opened the ice coke and poured it violently!
Tonight!
It's a good loss!!
