A week later, the Princess Mononoke workshop reopened.

This time, everyone went back and carefully studied the script, and they all had a more in-depth understanding of Princess Mononoke.

"Ah~ It's worthy of being the work of Master Hayao Miyazaki, and after I read it, the whole person fell into a deep melancholy." Taiji Sakata can be regarded as a die-hard fan of Hayao Miyazaki, and he will definitely watch it every time Ghibli's new anime is released.

Thanks to the president's blessing, I was able to work with Hayao Miyazaki in the previous production of CL and LL.

And this time, he saw the script ahead of all the viewers around the world, and it can be said that he died without regrets in this life.

"Yes, I haven't slept well all night after reading it, and I've been thinking about a question over and over again-

Why can't Asdidaka be with Shan? Akanishi asked.

He regretted it from the bottom of his heart.

What kind of story does "Princess Mononoke" tell?

The story starts with the young Ashidaka.

It tells the story of Ashitaka who killed a wild boar who turned into an evil god, and was cursed for it, and his life was not saved.

In order to lift the curse, Asshidaka traveled alone to the ironworks of the West.

And while fighting the beasts with the locals, he met Princess Mononoke, who was raised by wolves.

Princess Mononoke is an ironic presence in her own right.

As a human being, she was abandoned by her parents in the mountains and forests since she was a child, and it was the ferocious and terrible wolf in the mouth of humans who saved her and raised her as her own daughter.

The wolves hated humans, but they didn't kill the young Princess Mononoke.

It can be seen that animals are also kind-hearted, unlike humans, who are full of hatred. If a human catches a small wolf cub, they will definitely kill it immediately, and they will not take it with them to raise it.

From here, it can be seen that these animals are also reasonable, if it weren't for the humans who pressed it, they would not have desperately tried to drive the humans away.

And Princess Mononoke Shan exists as the [Animal], the [Antithesis] of the human being.

Later, when humans went to war with the beasts, the unscrupulous merchants profited from it and stole the head of the mountain beast god, so the entire forest was almost destroyed by the body of the mountain beast god.

In this case, the hero and heroine work together to recover the head of the mountain beast god and return the body of the mountain beast god, thus saving the human race, as well as the forest and the animals in it.

In the end, Shan returned to the forest, while Asidaka stayed in the human village, and it was indeed a regret in the hearts of countless viewers that the two were not together.

But here, the concept expressed by Miyazaki is also very clear:

Ashidaka represents the neutral moderates among humans, while Princess Mononoke represents nature and animals, and there are many contradictions between the two that cannot be resolved, and the difference in positions led to Princess Mononoke saying something like that in the end-

"I like Ashidaka, but I hate humans."

Therefore, it is inevitable to return to each other's environment in the end.

However, it was actually difficult for Ken Akanishi to instinctively accept it when he first read this.

"That's because of the difference in their positions." Shinji Mikami responded, "Shan was raised by wolves, her home is the forest, her family is a pack of wolves, and she can't fit into normal human life." And I wondered what Miyazaki was saying: the relationship between humans and natural animals is itself full of contradictions.

The prerequisite for harmonious coexistence is that both parties can let go of their hatred. ”

Taiji Sakata and Ken Akanishi, who were next to him, were very dissatisfied.

Tsk, the planners are all hard-hearted.

I can see it.

However, Mikami's words are impossible to refute.

The planners are abominable!

……

During the whole process, several people fought for red faces, and only Shinjin Makoto sat next to him as a quiet beautiful man.

He holds his chin and immerses himself in the story that Miyazaki has constructed.

Thinking back again, I still sighed in admiration.

In a work like "Princess Mononoke", Makoto Shinjin feels that he may not be able to do it in this life.

……

"Well, I'm very relieved to see that you've all read the script carefully."

Qing Zhiyuan clapped his hands and woke everyone back from the quarrel.

"So everyone must have a lot of ideas, let's talk about what type of animated film like this should be made into a game, and how to do it.

Everyone speaks freely, brainstorms, thinks of what to say, how to think and how to say, and don't have any concerns. ”

As soon as Qing Zhiyuan's words fell, everyone turned their eyes to Shinji Mikami.

He is the only one planning in this.

However, Qing Zhiyuan glanced around and took Taiji Sakata out first.

"Sakata, let's make a comment first."

"I ......"

Taiji Sakata frowned, there are specialized producers and planners here, what can I do as an artist?

"I can only talk about it from my own point of view, and it may not be as complete and detailed as the planners think."

"No problem, I wanted to hear your thoughts." Qing Zhiyuan said.

At this time, the planner is not allowed to make a plan, Qing Zhiyuan wants some [unexpected] effects, and the planners will instinctively consider the rationality when they think about it, so the business plan will be [convergent]

In the brainstorming stage, Qing Zhiyuan wants ideas and brains.

"Princess Mononoke is an animated movie, so from my point of view, it's storyboarding, it's character, it's set footage...... These are actually very story-telling.

How to bring players the same game experience as [watching movies] is the most important thing. ”

Taiji Sakata slurred, and when he said this, he raised his head and peeked at Qing Zhiyuan.

It's like a primary school student who is called up to answer a question in class, and the answer is even guessed, and there is always no bottom in his heart.

"Uh-huh." Qing Zhiyuan agreed very much, nodded again and again, and motioned for Taiji Sakata to continue.

Huh?

I didn't expect to be recognized by such a picky president.

Taiji Sakata felt a little confident in his heart, and the more he talked, the more excited he became.

"Therefore, the best way to give players this immersive viewing experience is ...... I think it's better to make it a galgame genre, and push the game forward by giving players options, and the artists focus on rendition and animation. ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Qing Zhiyuan, expecting to be praised by the president.

But the president's smile stiffened on his face, and he was still smiling just now, and his brows were tightly knit at this time.

Belch......

I thought you could give a great answer.

And that's the result?

"Don't," Qing Zhiyuan shook his head, "The display of the plot is left to the animation, no matter how good we do, in fact, it is not as good as Ghibli's animation, if you just want to experience the plot, why should people come to play your game?"

Don't forget, the movie comes first, then the game.

Doing so will ruin Pokeni's reputation. ”

With Miyazaki's national degree, when the anime was released, I was afraid that a large number of players had seen it.

"Hmm...... It seems so, yes. Taiji Sakata covered his cheeks, only feeling a little toothache.

But he also tried to make amends, "Or can we adapt the script and add some plots to the game that aren't in the anime?" ”

When he looked up, he met the eyes of several other people.

Everyone in the room looked at him like an idiot.

"Well, when I didn't say it."

Taiji Sakata immediately confessed.

"Akaxi-san, what do you think?" Qing Zhiyuan was named one by one.

Akanishi Ken seemed calm and calm, and he had been preparing for a long time at first glance.

He spread out his hand and smiled bitterly, "I don't have any ideas, just cooperate with the implementation of the program, and strive to meet all of everyone's creativity." ”

Huh?

Mikami, Sakata, and Shintsu silently widened their eyes.

This guy Akasai looks so calm, he didn't think about anything after a long time, did he?

"Well, that's okay," Qing Zhiyuan nodded, "I'm relieved to have your words." ”

Nani?

Is that okay?

Taiji Sakata said that he was lonely just now, and the old fox Akasai is too thief, right?

"Xinjin, what about you? What do you think? Qing Zhiyuan looked at Xinjin Cheng.

The latter frowned and thought for two seconds, then slowly shook his head, "I'm thinking about how to make the picture sense in the animation, but I don't have much concept of the specific gameplay."

It's really difficult to bring the visual sense of animation into the game, and at the same time make the game itself interesting and engaging. ”

"Well, that's true." Qing Zhiyuan nodded, "Or you think about it again." ”

"Okay president." Makoto Shinjin said.

Several people gave their opinions once, but in the end it didn't seem to be of much use.

Everyone focused on Shinji Mikami, expecting him to give a satisfactory answer.

Shinji Mikami suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

Sure enough, in the end, it still depends on the planning.

He clasped his hands, his eyes drooped slightly, and pondered, "Hmm...... I was thinking about whether to make Princess Mononoke a top-down action game like Dark. ”

"Huh? How so? Qing Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.

"Princess Mononoke itself is an animated movie, and the characters and stories are actually set for us.

In fact, there are quite a few battles and big scenes in it.

Ashidaka's longbow, Princess Mononoke's dagger, and Alberthy's shotgun are all full of action elements.

If you make it a turn-based RPG, the number of party characters is too small.

If it's a single-player turn-based system, you can still make gameplay, but it always feels like a bit of a waste of [combat] design.

So, the most suitable thing to do is to make this game a top-down flat action game, but then we should focus on how to work on the level and monster design.

Judging from the number of plots and characters in the current script, it is still far from enough to support a game.

Then this must be filled with new things and plots.

Whether Ghibli's side can accept it or not, this is also a question. ”

Well.

Qing Zhiyuan clasped his hands and thought together.

Overall, the planning is more reliable, and Mikami expresses it clearly and is much more achievable.

If it is made into a horizontal version, it will be a bit of a waste of the IP of Princess Mononoke.

Because your character's side face performance is definitely not as advantageous as traditional RPGs.

There is a problem with the turn-based system.

It looks like this is the only solution to a top-down action game.

However, Qing Zhiyuan was still not satisfied.

“emmm…… So, didn't we just come with a new guy named Hideki Kamiya, and you added him to the board. Qing Zhiyuan said.

At this time, Qing Zhiyuan finally remembered that there seemed to be a newly recruited baby in the company.

Kamiya is well-known in the industry for liking to engage in moths.

This man is very creative, but whether he can sell it for money or not is a matter of whether he can at least get some inspiration from him.

It's just that Kamiya is a big mouth, so he has to stare at him a little more.

……

Shinji Mikami first took Hideki Kamiya to a small dark room, and then handed him a non-disclosure agreement.

"Come on, sign it."

"Huh? What is it? ”

Kamiya's heart trembled instinctively, and he looked around vigilantly.

In the entire small conference room, there were only two people, him and Mikami, and they didn't even turn on the lights.

"Sign it, new project, sign you to be eligible to participate. How many people don't have this opportunity to get in. Shinji Mikami laughed.

In such an environment, looking at the gloomy smile on Mikami's face, Kamiya always felt as if he was about to be sold.

"Senior, don't be like this, I'm afraid of you like this."

……
