In the conference room of Xingyun Games, Yang Chen put down the VR device in his hand, looked at Brandon next to him and nodded involuntarily.

What he experienced just now was "Spider-Man" developed by Brandon and their team, a superhero game made with the materials of "Iron Man" and "GTA" Los Santos previously developed.

Above the main gameplay, I refer to some details of "Marvel Spider-Man" in the dream memory, but considering most of the functions of VR, the game itself does not use the traditional open world, but is similar to "Super Mario: Odyssey" "The Hakoniwa gameplay, and the main plot in the game is also linear.

It is the same as the original "Iron Man", but the difference is that in the game, players play the role of little spiders, and they will have more freedom, such as using spider silk to fly between high-rise buildings in New York.

Regarding the interaction of NPCs, just like "GTA" and "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption", the current optimization still has a little problem.

But it was shocking enough.

In terms of research and development time, the development cycle of "Spider-Man" is much longer, mainly because Yang Chen did not devote too many resources to it, and the development of "Spider-Man" is just like the original "Spider-Man" in terms of technology. Just like "Iron Man", they are on the front line.

The original development of "Iron Man" was to shape Los Santos in "GTA", while the words of "Spider-Man" were more about Nebula Games' experience in VR development.

For example, "The Last of Us" was able to be developed so smoothly before. On the one hand, it is indeed related to UEgame, and on the other hand, it is the experience accumulated when developing "Iron Man".

From a certain point of view, "Spider-Man" and "Civilization" carry similar tasks.

As for the story flow, if the exploration is not considered, the game time flow of "Spider-Man" is actually much shorter than that of "The Last of Us", almost the same as the previous "Iron Man".

In terms of story, considering that there is no Marvel, Yang Chen adopted the story of the original "Spider-Man" movie trilogy in his dream memory. Of course, considering the follow-up superhero worldview, he has already met with most players. The former Tony Stark will also appear in it.

Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Professor Lizard, and Venom are different from the previous "Iron Man". Players in this game will have more free operation experience, and action elements will be the main elements in this game.

Rather than the same as before, it is more about being immersed in the identity of Tony Stark and feeling the refreshment.

"Mr. Yang, are you preparing for the next game?" In the office, Brandon asked Yang Chen curiously.

The task of developing the game "Spider-Man" is still Brandon's team, and during the game development process, they also received the same requirements when they developed "Iron Man".

Otherwise, the story of the same linear model can be developed according to the original "Iron Man" model, instead of having such a long development cycle as it is now.

After all, the game flow story of "Spider-Man" itself is not too long.

Leaning on the chair, Yang Chen put down the VR device in his hand, and showed a smile on his face: "We need to use this technology, and the action elements are still a lot worse than on the VR platform."

This is also Yang Chen's truth. The main purpose is to strengthen the development capabilities of the entire team on the VR platform, especially when it comes to action experience.

"Iron Man" and the previously developed "Resident Evil 5" and "Silent Hill" VR versions, the immersive experience of this kind of movie-based games that focus on plot and atmosphere, can be said to be familiar to Nebula Games.

But in terms of action elements, the VR platform is an unfamiliar field for Nebula Games, or other game manufacturers.

"However, with an aerial perspective and an action game, there is indeed a game for you to follow." Yang Chen smiled mysteriously.

Without waiting for Brandon to get excited, Yang Chen stretched his waist and said to Brandon: "As for now, let's put "Spider-Man" online first, just like the previous "Iron Man", just match the price."

In terms of price, it is the same as the previous "Iron Man". Yang Chen is not going to set the price like "Civilization" and "The Last of Us", and the original "Iron Man" actually did not lose money. If you consider "GTA "The huge New York art in " has all kinds of expenses, so it is naturally a loss.

However, according to the normal development model, producing a game like "Iron Man" that does not affect the player's game experience, not only did not lose money, but also made a lot of money.

Although "Spider-Man" has also made new technical attempts, compared with the previous development of "Iron Man", its cost will be greatly reduced. After all, the art materials of the entire New York City are ready-made.

…………

The quality of "Spider-Man" can be said to make Yang Chen very satisfied. After the experience, Yang Chen also revealed some new game intentions to Brandon.

After all, after the development of "Civilization", Nebula Games will definitely have new projects in the future, and although "Civilization" will also have DLC content in the future, such as more civilizations and more gameplay types, they are all It will be handed over to Roland and their team of X Club to take charge.

But even though Brandon was very curious, Yang Chen still didn't reveal much.

There is indeed an idea in his heart, but Yang Chen still hasn't decided on it, and the new VR platform includes various technologies, and major manufacturers and Nebula Games are still testing it.

The development of the two games "The Last of Us" and "Civilization" also gave Yang Chen a general understanding of the direction of games on the VR platform and the performance of the current mainstream VR machines.

I held a meeting with Xu Yu and several senior executives of the company, and roughly finalized a major direction for the next step.

The first is the transplantation of "Civilization", the switch version, and the mobile platform. Compared with other games, "Civilization" undoubtedly has advantages over mobile platforms, and it is also a game that can maintain its original flavor. game.

There are also development tools including "Civilization" related MODs, as well as community shaping.

The second is the game "Spider-Man", including the derivative of the animation direction. If the previous "Iron Man" is just a sign, then this "Spider-Man" is now a lead.

From the outside, these two games are not the core products of Xingyun Games, but Yang Chen and Xu Yu understand in their hearts that these two games are not just intended to be operated as games.

The world view of World War I and World War II, including "Battlefield", will be integrated into it.

Of course, in addition to these things, there is one more important thing.

That is the land purchased by Jiang City Qilin Development Zone before, and the new headquarters is ready to be put into use.
