After a large amount of capital injection and meticulous planning.

"Infinity" has also begun to be in full swing in research and development.

This is also the first time that the number one player company has broken the scale of 100 million in the development of a blockbuster work.

According to Kejin's understanding, there are not many games with R&D funds exceeding 100 million yuan on Blue Star.

Among them, there are also some works whose picture quality is comparable to the 3A level in the previous life.

But they all have a mainstream characteristic.

Serve Krypton.

Whether it's card drawing, or gacha, digging treasure chests.

In the end, the content that comes out in various ways is still heavy krypton.

Kejin once thought about the deep development mode of games in this world.

In the case of literature and film and television, there is a good soil for development.

Why is the game a slow stop?

Even if you're a designer and you're not inspired.

But is it very difficult to buy a script and come back to develop it yourself?

However, after a year of in-depth experience of Blue Star OL.

Ke Jin can be regarded as having read some of it.

First of all, there is no precedent.

The development of game culture on the planet is interlinked.

Whether it's a MOBA or a DOTA.

The earliest periods evolved from SLGs (Strategy/Strategy Games).

Later, from SLG, a large-scale classified RTS (real-time strategy game, masterpiece: Red Alert) evolved

It has evolved many times before finally giving birth to two unique synonyms for Dota and MOBA.

And the development on the blue star is like going straight from the steam age to modern civilization in one breath.

Skipping the age of internal combustion engines and computers, it is natural that you can't imagine what internal combustion engines and calculators are.

Therefore, in the eyes of all game manufacturers at home and abroad.

High investment in game research and development, can be done.

But it must be accompanied by high returns.

The attempt to buy a script and adapt it yourself has appeared in the past 20 years of development, and there are not a few.

But if you don't have the matching gameplay as an aid, it's basically a loss.

There is only one thing left to go through with a huge world view + rich character design + card drawing.

This is also the core reason for the 20 years of aberrant development of Bluestar Games.

Not to mention the big factories.

Even their own employees.

At the beginning of getting the plan for "Infinity", they were all full of hesitation.

It is almost impossible to make a profit with a purely linear FPS+ narrative.

To put it mildly, isn't this a plot game + a little shooting element.

If you don't set up the corresponding gun gacha system, it's basically a loss......

It's just that after carefully reading the "Infinity" proposal, all the employees have changed.

In addition to the orderly progress of R&D.

Ke Jin also invited three well-known domestic motion capture actors in one go.

In the case of 3D games, motion capture is an indispensable process if you want the character model to not be rigid.

It's just that the motion capture of other games is usually only accompanied by a short piece of action.

A series of simple actions such as attacking, walking, skilling, standing upright, etc.

After all, what is shown to players is just a few sets of actions.

Therefore, when the three motion capture sisters first came to the company, they thought they were very different.

As a result, when I got Elizabeth's script, I was stunned when I read it all.

"The whole mocap ......?"

"Do I have to be in charge of facial mocap?"

"I'm in charge of mocap for the whole form?"

The three of them have their own duties, but only for the actions of one female character?

Unheard!

I've never seen a game company with such a strange request!

After all, a professional motion capture actor can control many styles, and the form and demeanor are very expressive, and even for the role he is suitable for, he has to maintain a specific figure for many years.

It is also necessary to be professional in the softness of the body and difficult movements such as dancing and martial arts.

Therefore, the cost price of cultivating an excellent motion capture is very expensive.

Similarly, their salaries are expensive.

Conventional motion capture fluctuates in the range of 1K~10K/day, depending on the workload.

For example, the three more well-known motion capture sisters who came to report from the number one player company have a salary of at least 10K~20K/day.

The workload is basically a full set of actions for 2~3 gacha characters a day.

And the script of Elizabeth that I have in my hand right now, I want to match it all.

At least one to two months of work......

In other words, just the action and demeanor design will cost the number one player company at least a few million......

Ha people!

You must know that many large manufacturers may be less than one million less than one million after completing the motion capture of all their characters.

Taking so much money just to smash a female character, is this ......

However, as I slowly deepened into the character of Elizabeth and gradually understood the plot behind her.

The three mocap sisters all involuntarily fell in love with this character.

"It can be said that the portrayal of this female character is the most successful one among all the female characters I have matched!"

"Me too, I love this character to death!"

"Mr. Ke, if you can, we can also help you do a little publicity for free on the day of the game's release, although our Weibo fans are not as large as your company, but there are still some." It wasn't until a month and a half later that the three mocap sisters all showed a somewhat reluctant look.

"That's great, a few of them." Ke Jin smiled back.

During this time, their hard work was also seen by Ke Jin.

Sometimes when they watch the scene, they are obviously satisfied with the results, but they still feel that they are not perfect enough, and take the initiative to ask for a few more matches.

"If we have the chance, we will work together in the future."

Shake hands with my three younger sisters and say goodbye for a while.

In fact, he really wanted to just sign these three sisters.

In the future, some games will need to be used in places.

However, considering the recent stretch of capital reserves.

The expense of raising a batch of mocaps is no joke.

It's better to wait for the company to have spare money in the future, and then think about it.

And the time flickered, and soon it was November.

The game is 70% complete.

The development process went a little more smoothly than Kejin had imagined.

On this trend, the finishing touches should be completed by the end of November.

The judging deadline is until the end of December, and the results will be announced at the Lantern Festival next year.

There is still a full month for the game to be released and put on the shelves.

There is plenty of time.

And, during this period.

Ke Jin asked Gou Chehua to arrange it, and asked him to extract a small piece of actual machine from the game body in the past two days to show the demo.

It is regarded as a warm-up announcement before the game is on the shelves.

This time is different from the past, "Infinity" is a work that can be opened up to make money, and the greater the publicity, the better.

It's just that the company really doesn't have extra spare money to publicize it significantly.

So, let's take the demo version first to let players try it, and speak with the actual quality of the game, which is more effective than any bells and whistles promotional video.

"Mr. Ke, it's easy to say that you choose a demo, that is, ...... In two days, the official may announce the annual selection list, and there may be a wave of rhythm at that time, why don't we avoid it first? Wait for a demo to be released in a week, and then wait for a week to release the game after a wave of popularity? ”

Gou Chehua's advice is still quite realistic.

The number one player has already gained a certain reputation in the domestic game circle.

But in the eyes of passers-by, the status is the same as the Internet celebrity song that suddenly became a smash hit.

You put a melody out, I know I've heard it.

But if you ask me to tell me who this singer is, then I really can't say.

"Jedi", which was out of the circle before, made Daji's chicken eat tonight and became popular outside the circle for a period of time, and the slogans of many fried chicken restaurants were secretly changed without even giving a copyright fee.

But if you rush to the owner of the fried chicken restaurant and ask them if they know Ke Jin.

He will only tell you, 'Don't sell by the gram or by the pound, 30 yuan a fried chicken, and get a bottle of Coke'

This is the generation gap inside and outside the circle.

It doesn't matter what your number one gamer is saying in the gaming world.

The important thing is that you bring your work to the festival.

Then you have to be prepared to carry the weight forward.

However, Ke Jin waved his hand and said it was okay.

Big-paced?

Wouldn't that be better?

As the saying goes, black and red are also red, and black dragons are also dragons.

Hair!

Give me a hard shot!

It's not just about the rhythm.

And when the rhythm is at its highest!

I'm going to cough when you're so slow.

So, two days later.

The nine major art and cultural associations also announced the major artworks participating in the annual best selection on the official blog.

Most of them are already pre-established works.

It was sent at the beginning of the year, and after most of the time to settle down, the evaluation in the circle was not bad, so it was sent for selection.

On the day the list was announced, the topic of #Nine Arts# on Weibo instantly pulled up.

Countless netizens also began to discuss.

"Ahhh My brother's song "It's Sunny and Rainy" has been nominated for music art? Sisters, don't you vote for it? ”

"What kind of music is "Sunny and Rainy", a saliva song that is purely marketed, my evaluation is not as good as the movie "Youth Song and Dance Troupe" starring my family Wang Yangyuan! I was wearing a wedding dress to see the premiere of the movie, and they were so handsome! ”

"What kind of clown is Wang Yangyuan? The box office is also being called, which is really unlucky. ”

"Hehe, I think the most promising thing this year is Sister Masa's hip-hop show, okay, sexy and innocent, my sister's eyes kill me!"

Ke Jin glanced at the Weibo netizens who exploded in purity and spoke.

Speechless.

I thought your annual art contest was really a fight between the gods.

The co-authorship is all about the old man behind the scenes?

It's really pure and pure, it's all capital......

Instead, there are several niche categories of art, such as sculpture and theater.

The selected works also have a bit of an artistic style.

Ke Jin went to take a look.

Although it is also somewhat commercialized.

For example, in this year's drama/opera division's "Three Alleys of Pear Blossoms", the old students sang well, their voices were clear and high, and they could also sink into a tender and tactful style.

As a result, a rap suddenly appeared in the middle of singing, so that he couldn't give Ke Jin's scalp to Xiufei, and the coke in his throat and eyes almost didn't swallow it.

But aside from this intriguing rap, the overall performance is not satisfactory.

It seems that the phenomenon of Blue Star's entertainment to death has far surpassed that of the contemporaneous Earth.

Although several major artists also had their own excellent works in the early years, some even directly synchronized the works of the parallel time and space of the earth, and some works did not appear.

Kejin guessed that it may have been affected by the invisible impact of the distorted development of the game industry.

After all, among so many works, there must still be many works that have nothing to do with the game, but the creator got inspiration from a certain game, and then after his style of this work came out, it triggered some later generations to follow suit and improve, one link after another.

However, if the game category of the overall environment on Blue Star no longer exists, it is reasonable that some works in other fields will disappear.

Of course, for Ke Jin, the main business that Brother Tongzi bound to him is still games.

Copywriters in other industries, even if some excellent works are not available, he cannot reproduce them.

At this time, there was a topic of the Nine Great Arts on the Internet, and the comments were still wonderful.

Some players in the gaming circle were immediately interested after seeing this year's Game Art Awards.

"Am I making up? This year's is actually me carving treasure?? ”

"Envy this year, I can actually engrave treasure/shy/shy"

"Pinch Mom, I'm still thinking that the cultural celebration is getting worse and worse, and the artistry is not as good as a year, I don't want to watch it, you said that the number one player is also coming to participate, won't I come!"

"I feel that those old judges are still a little discerning."

"Huh? How is it that this year's selected works are to be determined? ”

"! Patronizing and excited, you really say that! ”

"Shhh Does this mean that Ready Player One has a new work coming out? ”

"Hurry, hurry! Hurry, hurry! ”

"This time Kebao can't kill those little sissy fresh meat? I didn't expect our game art to turn over one day! ”

"Kebao rush! Give me a ruthless olive, a gang of money-making! ”

It doesn't wait for the small group of players in the gaming circle to be lively.

The little fairy on Weibo came when she smelled it.

"Huh? What art do you play? ”

"I don't have a good memory, how many art do you play?"

"Game art is at the bottom every year, how can there be a face to scream."

"A group of kryptonite sows said our brother was making money, right? Do you want to listen to what yourselves are saying? ”

"I just went to see it.,The game industry is participating in a competition this year.,It's still a pending decision.,Is this my brother scared to post a work?,Hehe~"

"I'll just talk about one statistic, my brother's "Sunny and Rainy" has 571 million hot searches on Douyin throughout the year, dominating the list for three months."

"I hope you stinky game dead fat house can recognize the reality, don't fantasize about rubbing this heat and that heat all day long, just play in your little circle, ha, good."

Due to the power of capital and star effect.

In fact, not only the music industry, but also the film and television industry and other art industries are now slowly moving closer to the road of god-making.

Whether it's influence, public aesthetics, or the ability to make money.

A group of people who play games for a while and really can't find the right words to refute.

Moreover, this is still the main battlefield where fans gather.

After arguing for a while, they all had no choice but to choose traditional performing arts and pretend to be deaf and dumb.

The little fairies returned triumphantly, and they didn't take this little episode too seriously.

The game circle is a circle where birds don't.

If it dares to send a work to participate in the competition, then use it to make a knife to replenish my brother's blood! It's time to stir up the heat!

As a result, to everyone's surprise.

The number one player is really on the cusp of this storm.

Not only did I post the work, but I even bought the hot search directly!

3. #头号玩家最新叙事类FPS新作 "BioShock: Infinite", the demo trial is online! #

As soon as the front foot posted the work, the back foot rushed to the top three of the hot search, which must have been bought, and it was not washed.

It's not uncommon to buy hot searches, it's just traffic, it's chilling.

But the problem is that you travel to a small company of A-level size, and under the impact of such a big topic as "year", you don't know how to avoid the limelight and wait for a few days.

Buy hot search now?

This is really not afraid of being scolded......

This confusing operation made all netizens look stupid.

Good guys, don't bring the rhythm, this game company will bring it itself, right?
