Blue sky, white clouds, green meadows.

Qing Zhiyuan and Nao Tsuda were lying on the grass, like two match heads, the big heads next to each other, but the feet were facing in opposite directions.

A time like this was only experienced when he was in elementary school.

In his previous life, he also lay on the lawn with girls and watched the clouds, and while gesturing and saying: Look, does that cloud look like a chicken?

Nonsense!

It's a rabbit.

"Ah~ It's so pleasant."

Qing Zhiyuan let out a sigh, looked at the sky far away from him, and laughed.

Being young is really simple, not worrying about the future at all, carefree, heartless, happy when you see clouds, where is it like after entering society in the future.

In the age of 996, you simply don't have a chance to look up at the clouds.

If you can watch the sunset once in a while, you can be so happy that you can die.

Nao Tsuda lay beside him, his hands on his lower abdomen, and looked at the sky motionlessly, as if in deep thought.

Or maybe it's like you're asleep.

It's just that I sleep with my eyes open.

Qing Zhiyuan turned his head sideways, and from his point of view, Nao Tsuda's long eyelashes were fluttering, her small nose was straight, and her side face was perfect, which made people want to take a sip.

"Do you know Marvel's Spider-Man?" Qing Zhiyuan asked with a smile.

"Huh?" Tsuda looked back.

The two people are facing each other, but the bodies are in opposite directions.

"In Spider-Man, there is a very classic famous scene." Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"Huh?"

"Spider-Man Peter is hanging upside down, while his girlfriend Gwen is holding his head like this."

Now Qing Zhiyuan is just like the scene in the movie, he stretched out his hand and gently covered the side of Nao Tsuda's face, and then moved his body a little.

After a while, the two men separated, lying flat, panting.

Nao Tsuda couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

This guy can find any excuse for kissing.

But......

She blinked, imagining the scene of Spider-Man kissing, and really, it seemed to be a little bit romantic.

But if it rains, won't Spider-Man choke in this pose?

Thinking of this, Tsuda laughed again.

……

The current Marvel is really not angry, and even on the verge of bankruptcy for a while, it will probably sell its animation company to Fox in 3 years, and then sell Black Panther, Captain America, Spider-Man, Ant-Man, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk and other characters.

Of course, Square Enix in his previous life also did something similar, dismantling Final Fantasy and selling it, and China's Perfect World got the copyright of Final Fantasy to develop a mobile game.

It can only be said that for 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, where is there a long-lasting enterprise.

Qing Zhiyuan was silently thinking in his heart, should he engage a few Marvel heroes to make games when the time comes?

The two of them lay quietly on the grass, letting the wind blow on their faces, cool and inexplicably comfortable.

At this moment, it was as if time had stood still.

All worries were thrown out of the clouds, and all that remained was the sound of breathing, the wind, and the rustle of leaves......

All the good things in the world are stuck in this moment.

Nao Tsuda blinked, then raised a hand.

"Every time I lie on the grass, I stretch my hand like this......"

"There's a feeling that it's going to fly, no, it's going to fall, all the way to the top of the clouds, and it's going to fall infinitely." Nao Tsuda said.

"Hmm...... It's very interesting. Qing Zhiyuan responded seriously.

"Right?" Nao Tsuda smiled, and then quickly closed her eyes, "But as long as you think about it like this, it seems like it will really fall, and I am scared to death in my heart." ”

At this moment, she turned sideways and covered the side of Qing Zhiyuan's face with her hand.

"Well, it's finally grounded."

As she spoke, her eyes were misty, and she slowly approached Qing Zhiyuan.

"Ahh I've got it! At this moment, Qing Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly widened, and he sat up from the ground.

"Huh? What comes to mind? Nao Tsuda rolled over, supported his body with his hands, and looked at Seoh Chi Yuan who was running wildly on the grass with some complaint.

This guy must have done it on purpose, right?

……

"Upside-down Patma?"

In the president's office, Shinji Mikami and Gen Xubuchi asked suspiciously at the same time.

"Patma is the heroine's name, or if you want to change it to something else on the Wada side at that time." Qing Zhiyuan said.

"Upside Down Patma" is a film animation produced by Liuhua Studio and released in 2013.

It mainly tells the story of [Patma], a girl who lives in the center of the earth, who accidentally "fell" into the surface world, and after meeting the boy on the ground, Age, the two worked together to uncover the secret of the world upside down and the reversal of people.

One of the most interesting designs is -

The gravity of Patmar, the geocentr, and the surface of the earth, Age, is opposite.

In the center of the earth, where Patma lives, people walk head-down, and when she comes to the surface, she is affected by gravity, and the whole person will fall in the direction of the sky.

This is what Qing Zhiyuan thought when he heard Nao Tsuda say that "it will fall into the sky".

"In order to maintain balance and not fall into the sky, the male protagonist Aegie must hold Patma's waist and hold her tightly, and the two of them will achieve a new balance in this way." Qing Zhiyuan said.

"It's like catching a balloon. Otherwise, it's going to fly away. Xuyuan Xuan nodded, indicating understanding.

Qing Zhiyuan pouted, well, thanks to such an image description?

Baga, who doesn't understand? I'm so easy to understand.

"In short, the gravity of the male and female protagonists is opposite, and this is the basic setting of our game."

"Moreover, this game must be made into a side-scrolling game." Qing Zhiyuan said firmly.

Shinji Mikami and Gen Xubuchi exchanged glances with each other, and lowered their heads in thought.

"Hmm...... Indeed, making a side-scrolling game is very in line with this setting, and it is completely possible to use the opposite gravity of the hero and heroine to design the levels, and make a lot of interesting gameplay. Shinji Mikami immediately understood the president's intentions.

"yes, that's it." Qing Zhiyuan snapped his fingers.

Such a game idea has not appeared even in 2023.

The world view has a great influence on the game, and it would be a lot of fun to make the upside-down Patma a side-scrolling game.

The setting of anti-gravity is rare, but it is not uncommon, and the more famous movies in the future include "Against the World" and "Upside Down Patma......

Reverse World is a sci-fi romance film co-produced by Luxembourg, Denmark, Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, and France, telling the story of two worlds like hourglass shapes, pyramids overlapping each other's tips, in which two people fall in love and overcome each other's difficulties to come together.

But in the end, Qing Zhiyuan still chose "Upside Down Patma".

On the one hand, it's because this animated movie is made by neon people, which is more in line with neon culture, and at the same time, the two-dimensional style is also more suitable for adaptation into games, and on the other hand-

In terms of storytelling, the upside-down Patma is obviously much better than the reverse world, especially the moment when the mystery is revealed at the end, which can really be described as a masterpiece.

"If you think about it, in side-scrolling, there are times when we need them to walk not only on the ground, but also on the ceiling, so that the game is [upside down] for the players."

"Uh-huh. Interesting. "Just like Super Mario, Mario can not only jump forward underneath, but also directly flip and fly into the sky to jump forward. ”

It's just that when it flies to it, it becomes the heroine as the focus point, and the heroine runs forward.

Mommy!!

At this moment, as he said the name [Super Mario], Shinji Mikami and Gen Xubuchi trembled in their hearts at the same time.

Because they realized the same problem -

Is the president going to clash head-on with Ren Tenten?!

You have to know how much time Sega spent in order to make a [Sonic the Hedgehog] so that it could attack from the front......

Wouldn't it be a bit risky for us to do that?

However, they quickly dispelled this suspicion.

After all, the upside-down Patma, whether it is from the gameplay, or the style of painting, to the content, is actually quite different from Super Mario, in this case, even if there is a certain overlap in the target group, there will definitely be differences in the end.

The creativity of the game itself, even if the core is different, will naturally give birth to different appearances.

It's like the DNA of a species.

Our gaming DNA is mainly in [Inverting Gravity]

"That's it." Qing Zhiyuan said, "Players can get props in the game, by increasing or decreasing the backpack, and transferring the backpack to the male or female protagonist to achieve [gravity ratio], if the male protagonist is heavy, then in the male protagonist's perspective, it is to run on the ground.

If you transfer the weight to the female owner, then you can pull the male owner to run upside down on the ceiling. ”

"Even...... "Shinji Mikami pondered, "Is there such a possibility, as the story progresses, the male and female protagonists are separated, then then it will become a horizontal version of running on the ground, and a horizontal version of running backwards in the sky, there is a combination, and there is also separation......

This way, the game has more dimension to design. ”

"Absolutely." Qing Zhiyuan gave Mikami a thumbs up.

Being able to come up with ideas and build on them is what he really wants.

Qing Zhiyuan continued: "As the game progresses, we will cooperate with the gameplay to uncover the truth of this world step by step, that is, this is not just a simple Super Mario that can run up and down, but more importantly, it is also a Mario with a story.

It's a side-scrolling RPG. ”

"Huh?!"

Shinji Mikami and Xuan Xuyuan were stunned.

Then all four eyes lit up.

Wow, a side-scrolling RPG.

I really haven't thought of it......

And the setting of this game is not just as simple as a side-scrolling level, but whether you can design an interesting gameplay with [gravity], which is what matters.

At the same time, on this basis, it is also a test to give the corresponding plot that is particularly well integrated.

Qing Zhiyuan spent more than an hour telling them the plot of the upside-down Patma.

After listening, Xuan Yuan was silent.

"Wow...... Such a plot, such a reversal, I really didn't expect it. Wada admired, "As the president, he can do it to this extent." ”

It's hard not to be impressed by this game, both in terms of its creativity and in its story.

And the void abyss can almost make up the entire game content in the brain.

Qing Zhiyuan controls the painting style.,Strive to be close to the original.,The exquisite style of the second dimension,Plus such a gravity gameplay,And there is an excellent plot.,Qing Zhiyuan has a great grasp that the game can sell well.。

And this time, it's competing in the same track as Rentendo.

No, it should be said that the main track overlaps with Ren Heaven somewhat, but it still broadens up new areas.

Upside Down Patma is unlikely to turn into a very young game.

……

"This game, I'll hang the title of producer." Qing Zhiyuan said.

This time, it was Qing Zhiyuan who did the game he wanted to make.

"The Witcher is localizing the Omi market, and Mikami will spend some of your energy supervising it, but this new game needs you a lot."

Localization is complicated and complex, and simple is simple, but it's actually about translating the Japanese into English in the game.

However, due to the grammatical structure, word count, sentence length, and font size of Japanese, which are very different from English, direct translation is not possible, and there is a risk that the UI will not be mismatched.

Therefore, while translating, it is also necessary to customize the corresponding English font, size, and even adjust the UI structure.

There's still a bit of work, but the rest of the game can be left the same, so it will take a month or two at most.

"Okay president." Shinji Mikami has no objection to Xuan Xuyuan.

Even after this period of work, Mikami finally realized how happy it was to be able to give help to Furuhara Tsubaki/Sei Chi Yuan.

Being a producer is really exhausting, and you can't fully focus on the game itself, so just handling and coordinating the work between various departments is enough of a headache.

Shinji Mikami really made up for it by resting at home, and for more than a year, he only slept less than 6 hours a day.

"It's very interesting, if you can really make this game."

"Leave the script to me." Xuyuan Xuan said seriously.

If it's a general side-scrolling game, the script writer has little room to play, such as Super Mario, and the plot can be told in one sentence: defeat the evil dragon and save the princess.

But obviously, in addition to the game, this "Upside Down Patma" also needs to have a lot of performances, so that players can understand the plot during the game, and there is a lot of room for play.
