Chapter 5 Art Style

Yang Chen really wanted to draw what he wanted with his own hands, but the key was that he didn't know how to draw at all. He drew a sketch of a person, and even when he drew it, it didn't look as good as a stickman. This was Yang Chen's painting level.

The game art style in Dream Memories can be said to be quite ugly and disgusting.

From the style of art, matching the plot, or even combining the gameplay, you can say that these are all linked together.

But the main core reason is that that style is easier to make. Yang Chen still has a little judgment on this.

Gameplay design, creative elements, etc. Yang Chen felt that the other party was much taller than himself, but in terms of art elements, Yang Chen felt that the other party was only due to cost issues, and there was no way to hire a dedicated artist.

If you look closely, you will find that in the game in memory, most of the characters and monsters are carved out of the same mold.

On the other hand, Yang Chen himself is a person who has outsourced art, so he can make the pictures more beautiful and the characters more cute.

But Chu He still decided to follow the style he remembered.

Not for anything else, just for a gimmick.

The games on the market are all cute and cute girls. Suddenly a big bird appeared to help her. Would you be curious and take a look?

Just like boys and girls' clothes, it comes from a kind of curiosity. There are many girls' clothes on the video website that are extremely hot, but the number of clicks is still quite high. Why?

It is because of curiosity.

Regarding the style of the game, Yang Chen didn't intend to be disgusting, but to take a grotesque and ugly route.

After all, what Yang Chen wanted was a gimmick that made players feel curious, not really disgusting players.

This is also the safest way to do it. As for keeping the original flavor of the game, this has to be done according to the actual situation.

For example, the style of painting should be more in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese people, and the original storyline should be weakened.

According to the plot introduction of this game in Dream Memory, it is from the Western Bible, but for Chinese players, they don't know any Bible.

Time is not allowed to change the story, at least to come up with a good story in such a short period of time, Yang Chen thinks that his ability is unable to do it.

Therefore, weakening the performance of the plot and focusing on the gameplay is the main task.

After discussing for about an hour, Chu Yang, at Yang Chen's request, drew a two-dimensional figure with a sense of joy, with a head larger than his body and no nose.

"Yes, it is this style, the style of monsters. It must maintain a grotesque style, but it must also be a little cute, not disgusting." Yang Chen nodded and looked at the original painting on Chu Yang's computer. .

"This style? I see?"

After saving the file, Chu Yang stood up: "If we provide a game script, we can create better."

After signing the contract, provide a game script to the outsourcer, including the contract of the original painting, which is the basic thing.

These things have an accurate image in the producer's mind, just like the script and storyboard design of the comics.

They all need words to describe specific things. It is impossible for every character to stay next to the staff in charge of art like Yang Chen is now, and tell him what he needs little by little.

There are not so many things in small productions, but it involves large-scale games, especially 3A-level ones.

Just the manuscripts set in art can definitely be read as a novel.

When I left from 'Dream Chasing' and returned home, it was already around 5:30 in the evening.

"How's it going?" Looking at Yang Chen who pushed the door and walked in, Wang Yaliang, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, stood up and asked Yang Chen.

"The other party's strength is not bad, except for the art, including programming and so on are outsourced to them, but I need to provide them with a script later, so that they can more intuitively determine what the style of the game is." Yang Chen Put your bag on the table, take out the signed contract, and put it in the bookcase in your room.

The entire game is responsible for the production of the general direction, and the rest of the game, including the program, is outsourced.

This sounds unreliable, but in fact it is a very normal thing, and even some big manufacturers often do this kind of thing, outsourcing game projects to other studios, but they have a more Professional, and a better-sounding word is called: OEM.

To put it simply, the truth is similar to that of OEM in real life.

As for whether it will be plagiarized, Yang Chen is not worried at all, because the two parties will go to the game committee to register the relevant information.

This is also to avoid creative genres or plot-oriented games from being outsourced to a civet cat for the prince.

"That's it!" Wang Yaliang responded suddenly.

"However, why don't I find a job tomorrow, after all, I shouldn't be needed for a long time." Wang Yaliang said, leaning on Yang Chen's body, face to face.

Although she used to be in charge of the initial personnel and financial departments, but now they are still commanders, and the game's art programs are all given to outsourcing companies.

"No, we will expand the scale soon. With the size of 'Dream Chasing', if it goes well, they will be able to complete the demo version in about a week. When the game reaches the beta version, it can be sold directly in advance. We are recruiting ourselves and completing the subsequent update of the game." Yang Chen shook his head and explained to Wang Yaliang in detail.

Of course there is one thing he didn't say, that is, this is based on the success of the game.

If the game fails, maybe he really doesn't have the talent in the game industry. After all, he is standing on the shoulders of giants. If he can fail like this, then he is probably not suitable, even if he really likes the game. one line.

"I've made money from the game, I want to buy a Samoyed, I've been wanting to keep it!" Wang Yaliang said with his chin resting on Yang Chen's shoulder.

"Samoyed doesn't seem to be very smart, right? Besides, I want to know when we can eat more than the dog problem. I'm so hungry!" Turning his head, Yang Chen raised his hand and pinched Wang Yaliang's face and asked seriously road.

"Uh... I forgot to do it?" Wang Yaliang twisted his head to the side when he heard Yang Chen's words.

So, is it really forgetting to do it, rather than being too lazy to do it?

Yang Chen looked at the girl who didn't look directly at him, and sighed silently: "Forget it, let's eat downstairs."
