When Qing Zhiyuan passed by, he found that Mikami was arguing with the program apes.

After pausing and listening for a while, he probably figured out what was going on.

It turns out that Shinji Mikami's requirements for the quality of the game are quite high, and the control is also extremely strict, and then in the process of game production, he can't always achieve the effect he wants, so everyone quarrels.

Qing Zhiyuan didn't think there was anything wrong with this kind of argument.

Although they are all red-faced, they are all for the good of the project itself.

A good argument is very different from a personal attack, where everyone is bargaining from their own position and listening to the other person to make a judgment.

Shinji Mikami was silent, crossed his arms and thought for a long time, and suddenly spoke, "Could it be that the darkness restricts us?" ”

"Huh?"

The crowd was confused.

"I mean, Diablo was a huge success, so we wanted to build on that and we wanted to expand on that to other types of games.

The witcher itself is supposed to be more biased, and I've simulated it many times in my brain, and I don't think it's much of a problem.

But when I actually saw it, I realized that when I looked at it from a top-down perspective, the protagonist's movements were not as brilliant as I imagined. ”

Shinji Mikami said, "However, if you push the camera closer and lower it, you may be able to show more details, but in this way, it will put high demands and challenges on the model of the character."

That's why I wondered, would a three-dimensional character be more suitable for us? ”

Sizzle......

Qing Zhiyuan gasped beside him.

In this era, the concept of 3D has not yet been developed with sufficient clarity.

The first 3D game, developed by Sega in 1993, is the VR Warrior, a game that gives players an extraordinary vision concept through 3D modeling and a deep combat mode.

It was this game that changed Sony and prompted Sony to move its PlayStation in the direction of supporting 3D graphics.

In the future, masterpieces such as Final Fantasy 7 were born.

Now, although Shinji Mikami has not been able to explicitly propose the concept of 3D, he is already thinking in this direction.

It's remarkable.

"Three-dimensional character, what do you mean?"

Lord Taiji Misakata and Master Akanishi Ken looked at him in unison.

"That means that we normal humans don't look at each other from an equal perspective? For example, Akaxi-san, if you look at me now, I know exactly what I do, right?

Even if I do a tumble and a fly kick or something, you won't think it's too exaggerated.

In fighting games, the characters are viewed from a similar perspective, which is why we think the action is gorgeous and beautiful.

However, in the current situation from a top-down perspective, many movements are obscured, and the character itself is a slender type, which makes the sense of movement much lower.

So I wondered if I could bring in the characters in reality and make the perspective a flat perspective, or a little bit higher. ”

"In this way, when the characters make movements, they can become very beautiful."

After some explanation by Shinji Mikami, everyone roughly understood his appeal.

After a long time, does this guy actually want to make such a grand main perspective game?

In that case......

As Mikami himself said, he had to build a diorama.

It's not just the characters, it's the whole scene.

After listening to his words, Taiji Sakata sneered twice, although he didn't speak on his face, his expression was already very obvious-

Why don't you say you want to make a virtual world?

"No, the performance of the current machine is simply not sustainable, and there is no similar software design in terms of graphics functions, unless we make a completely new set of tools ourselves." Akanishi Ken is relatively pragmatic and gives a professional judgment from his own professional point of view.

The current level of technology, whether it is software or hardware, cannot support Mikami's dream.

Even if the 3D era comes, at least it will have to wait until Sony's PS appears.

Then it will be a year later.

"That would mean that the whole project would have to be remade. I'd better advise you to give up. Akanishi Ken said mercilessly.

The current Sega MD game console has introduced Sony's CD-ROM peripherals, which can be played through game discs, and the memory has been expanded to more than 500M, which is not a big problem in terms of capacity.

But the problem lies in the hardware and software support for 3D graphics.

"Hmm......" Shinji Mikami felt extremely painful.

Everyone clasped their hands, did not speak to each other, and fell into a stalemate.

"Add a cape."

At this moment, Qing Zhiyuan, who had been standing next to him and had not spoken, interjected.

Huh?

Everyone turned their heads and looked at the uninvited guest behind them.

"President. When did you come over? Akanishi asked.

"I saw that you were discussing so intensely, so I listened casually." Qing Zhiyuan smiled, pointed to the little man on the screen and said, "How about adding a cloak?" ”

Taiji Sakata clasped his hands, puzzled, "Hmm...... Good is good, but what does it mean? ”

Qing Zhiyuan found paper and pen from the side, and drew a line drawing of the male protagonist wearing a cloak from a bird's-eye view on the paper.

The cloak itself is not a large straight cape in the traditional sense, but a triangular shape, more like a long scarf over the shoulder.

It's just that the middle part becomes wider, and then it closes again at the end, and in general, this oblique triangular cape is almost longer than the hero's body.

"You see, the biggest problem we have now is not the perspective, but how to behave from that perspective."

You can still make the action beautiful from a top-down perspective, but there is a skill in this, and the skill is that you have to make the picture [expand] from a top-down perspective

"Man is a cylinder, like a nail, which appears thinner from a bird's-eye view. But after we add a cape, you can see if the expressiveness from this perspective suddenly comes up? ”

This is actually what Qing Zhiyuan learned from LOL, many hero characters are either themselves big men with horizontal development, or they add scarves and capes...... Allows it to [expand] from a top-down view

"Spread horizontally, so that the movement is smoother."

Action games from a top-down perspective are basically done like this.

Seeing this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Wow, it's really ......"

"Looking at it this way, not only is the movement much stretched, but the cape also adds a touch of color to the game, and at the same time makes the design layer richer."

"It's also better to do the action."

"It's a god. Why didn't I think of that before? The lord Misakata Taiji let out a sigh of admiration, and admired the youth president so much that he threw himself to the ground.

is worthy of being a big man in the game concept art industry, with a few strokes, no, it only takes one sentence to make people pause.

"After all, we've only made a top-down game, and the experience is gradually accumulated." Qing Zhiyuan laughed.

"Character movements, adding two sets of 8 directions, it's not a big problem."

Ay.

It's a pity that there is no such thing as skeletal animation now, and it is basically drawn by human hand, so there is no way to achieve particularly smooth transitions, and the cloak cannot achieve the effect of natural settlement and swinging.

But even so, as long as the hand-drawn ability is strong enough, the game effect is still the best in the world.

Shinji Mikami saw this, and his brain also had an endless sense of pictures.

What he wanted, it seemed to spring up all at once.

The feeling is truly amazing.

……

After solving the difficulties of the Witcher project, Qing Zhiyuan shifted the rest of his time and focus to the upcoming new game, Your Name.

Makoto Shinjin's paintings are really top-notch, and you can't help but be fascinated just by looking at the pictures.

In addition to the carrier of the game, Qing Zhiyuan seems to have seen the animated movie Junming in his memory.

Looking back now, I am still very moved, and I even want to cry.

"Shinjin-san, sure enough, it was a very wise decision to hand over the original art of the game to you, and it was really well done!" Qing Zhiyuan sighed.

"No, no." Makoto Shinjin was a little flattered, which made him feel like he was back a few months ago, when he was personally entrusted with the original art of this new game by the president.

"Actually, it's all the president, your script is well written, of course, Ishino-san's filling and polishing make the game more fleshed out, without these things, I can't rely on my imagination to draw this story." Makoto Shinjin said.

Mika Ishino next to her blushed slightly, "Yes, yes, it's all the president's script that is well written." ”

The words of the two people are not all compliments, and the true feelings in them account for the majority.

But there is one thing that makes Xinjin Cheng very abrupt-

The script of the game itself seemed to have some kind of soul resonance and connection with him, and when he saw the script, his whole soul trembled.

It's as if in the dark, this game should be created by him.

At that moment, Makoto Shinjin even felt that the game came to life and became a person with a soul.

When Makoto Shinjin reads almost every line, he has a clear sense of picture in his brain.

Even the voices and dialogues of the male and female protagonists are so real.

This time, the CV of Jun's name was also chosen quite well.

As always, Pokeni's name still lets Kotono Migoshi (the voice actor of Sailor Moon Tsukinohare) play the heroine.

The main thing is a [single-minded] [constant]

In this way, the stars who cooperate with Pokeni in the future can have a very good psychological expectation, at least if there are no major problems in the cooperation, Pokeni will not change people casually.

But it also depends on the situation, and there is no way to do it if it is really not suitable for the role.

Now Kotono Mishi's popularity is very high, and the popularity of Sailor Moon is not lower than Pokémon at all, or even higher.

Miishi is now considered a hot figure among voice actors.

The CV of the male protagonist is Toru Furutani, who dubbed the male protagonist Juba Wei in Sailor Moon.

This can be regarded as a pair of CPs with Jun Ming.

……

Atsushi Shirakawa's soundtrack, Makoto Shinjin's original painting, and the story of Kimi's name......

It doesn't seem to get any better combination than this.

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but look forward to it.

"By the way, President, are you still using the name [Furuhara Tsubaki] as the producer this time?" Mika Ishino asked.

Qing Zhiyuan was stunned for a second, then nodded.

"Yes, and "Your Name" will be the last work of Furuhara Tsubaki, and after the release of this game, Furuhara Tsubaki should also retire."

"Huh?!"

Several people were stunned.

"What? Retirement?! Mika Ishino opened her mouth in surprise, as if she couldn't believe what Qing Zhiyuan said just now.

I thought I had heard it wrong.

"Yes, you heard it right, it's literal, retire." Qing Zhiyuan said.

"Why?" Mika Ishino couldn't accept it emotionally at all.

Her first successful work, Onmyoji, was the producer of Tsubaki Furuhara.

Now Furuhara Tsubaki is more than just a clone of the president for her.

In a way, it's more like a spiritual symbol of pokeni, because everyone knows that as long as it's a game made by [Furuhara Tsubaki], it can basically be a big hit.

And—

Retirement?

Do you think you're an entertainer?

"Well, that's the result of my deliberations." Qing Zhiyuan nodded seriously, "Do you know the top advantage?" ”

Mika Ishino and Makoto Shintsu looked at each other and shook their heads at each other.

"In the process of plant growth, the higher the branches, the more nutrients they receive, the better they grow, and in this way, the side branches will not be able to develop.

We are like this now, if we take away the Furuhara Tsubaki, then in the future we can give birth to [Mika Ishino] producers, Gen Xubuchi, Shinji Mikami, and Shintsu, you can also become a very good producer.

But Furuhara Tsubaki is still here, which will make players feel that Pokeni mainly relies on Furuhara Tsubaki.

It's not what I want. ”

Qing Zhiyuan paused for a moment and continued, "And Furuhara Tsubaki has made too many galgames, it's time for him to withdraw from this field, and future games can use Qing Zhiyuan's real name, and you can also use your name."

In itself, the ancient plain Tsubaki is a vest ready to be discarded at any time, and now that the mission is complete, it is time to retire. ”

Ah, hey, this is the truth in the end, right?

What top advantage in front of you is complete nonsense, okay?

Mika Ishino thought to herself.

"To the outside world, what can a producer do without making a game?

When the time comes, it's also troublesome to explain the whereabouts of Furuhara Tsubaki, right? ”

"That's another matter, the whereabouts of Furuhara Tsubaki is something that the media need to care about, and it has nothing to do with us."

"Woo woo, president, are you really not thinking about it anymore? If Furuhara Tsubaki really retires, how sad the players will be! ”

……

"Amazing, this marketing method."

Nao Tsuda smiled slyly.

The two of them walked side by side on the slope to Tsuda's house, and the autumn wind around them rolled up their windbreakers, and the picture was very eye-catching.

"Gu Yuan Tsubaki's retreat will definitely attract the attention of players, so that no matter what Jun Ming does, players will have to pay for their feelings.

Then after finishing this game, go to the next game [Furuhara Tsubaki] and return to follow the call of players.

Didn't you earn it twice?! ”

Nao Tsuda smiled and said, "Ao-san, you're getting better and better now." ”

Qing Zhiyuan's brows furrowed fiercely, "Ah, hey, I'm serious, okay?" ”

……
