In the Nebula game, Yang Chen was discussing with his team.

Although in the follow-up content of "The Sims", a plan has been set.

That is, the DLC matter was decided to be handed over to UEgame.

They're pretty good at that sort of thing anyway.

Moreover, the follow-up "Sims" related content is not very complicated based on the framework of the entire game.

But in addition to the official follow-up content, each MOD made by the group of players for the love of the game is also a very important part of the elements.

Although it is a VR game, compared to the PC platform, it can be said that it is quite difficult to develop MOD content for the VR version of the game, but it is not completely impossible to develop.

For example, "Horse Riding and Blade" previously developed by Nebula Games has produced quite a few VR version MODs.

Of course, it is limited to some MOD content that has been slightly modified under the official release authority of Xingyun Games.

The large-scale MOD content related to the combat system and the content of the game play plot has passed the review of the Xingyun game MOD community and has been successfully made with technical support.

But for "The Sims", a mod of this scale is actually enough.

Sustaining vitality does not really need to involve an overhaul of the combat system and gameplay plot.

For example, an ordinary piece of clothing, or a decoration of the house, these can greatly increase the vitality of the game.

Take the first large-scale game "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" of Nebula Games as an example, it still maintains about tens of thousands of online games every day, and it has been more than a few years since the game went online.

Although there are also large-scale MODs, the vitality of the game still relies on a variety of equipment appearances and followers made by players to maintain the vitality of the game.

So on "The Sims", Yang Chen also discussed with the UEgame team.

Simple content such as modifying clothing and furniture layout will not be restricted, and even tools for the development of special VR versions will be written and provided to these MOD producers.

However, the expansion of the gameplay content, such as new occupations and some stories to be launched in the future, is still mainly based on DLC content.

"What is the follow-up publicity direction of "The Sims"?"

In the office, Yang Chen looked at this week's task report. The follow-up DLC content of "Assassin's Creed: Odyssey", that is, Bayek's origin, has officially started.

But then Yang Chen suddenly thought of something, and asked Wang Ye who was reporting the situation to him.

"Increase the placement of online advertisements, and the popularity of shopping-related searches." Wang Ye said a little strangely.

Isn't it always the case when it comes to publicity?

This is also the case with the follow-up promotion of the previous "Assassin's Creed: Odyssey".

"It's not suitable for "The Sims". This game is quite special, and it's not suitable to directly buy exposure for promotion." Yang Chen thought for a while and shook his head.

"Then?" Listening to Yang Chen's words, Wang Ye was a little dazed.

He is not in the marketing department, and it is not his job to do promotion planning.

Heartbroken, but on the surface Wang Ye still had a humble expression of asking for advice.

"Sims, this is the main gameplay of the game. Let's hold a life script contest directly. On the one hand, it can allow players to participate directly, and on the other hand, it can also most directly show the core gameplay of the game." Chen Xu thought Liao wanted to make a decision and said.

Life Screenplay Contest! ?

Hearing Yang Chen's words, Wang Ye was stunned for a moment before he could react.

"In addition, we are also doing a demonstration here to show the players what kind of event gameplay it is." Yang Chen added, looking at Wang Ye who was still a little dazed.

In fact, it is to use the game "The Sims" to shoot a story movie.

Originally in the game "The Sims", if you choose a director or an actor, there is actually such a gameplay, but it is not very detailed, just like a painter, it is actually a very simple mode.

Another point is that Yang Chen actually had the idea of ​​making a movie a long time ago.

It was mainly when developing "Under the Legend", a meta game that broke the fourth wall.

But he couldn't find a suitable opportunity for a while, and Yang Chen also knew that his own level was not enough.

Earlier, in order to produce "Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain", I went to a professional academy to learn the relevant knowledge of directors, but at best it can only be regarded as a wild way.

It is no problem to use a game engine to make it, but if it is shot with a camera, it will be unbearable.

But if you use the game to show a story, there is no problem.

And the story that Yang Chen wants to show, combined with the unique sense of immersion of VR games, will have a more shocking effect.

As for the effect, the player will be possessed by the protagonist in the story at the same time, simply speaking, it is to watch a long cutscene.

Already having such an idea in his heart, Yang Chen looked at Wang Ye, who still hadn't recovered, and asked him to call everyone to the conference room for a meeting later.

He himself stood in front of the computer and tapped the keyboard on the table lightly.

After a while, a newly created document appeared on the desktop of the computer.

"Truman"

As for why he chose this movie, Yang Chen also had some ideas.

Coupled with the unique immersive experience of VR, plus the meta game previously popularized by "Under the Legend".

It can be said that it has formed a perfect combination with the story of this movie, and the same is true of its own style.

At first the film actually went the sci-fi thriller-centric route, but it was reworked a second time and became a drama with a comedic element.

………………………

Compared to other decisions, the activity plan proposed by Yang Chen can be said to be extremely efficient.

While the players were still immersed in the world of "The Sims" to study more interesting ways to play, Yang Chen's official blog and Xingyun game's official website had already sent the latest content news.

The Sims Script Contest!

Many players were still a little confused when they heard the news, using games to film stories? What is this?

But for some thoughtful players, their eyes lit up instantly after seeing this activity of the Nebula game, which is exactly what they want!

And some ignorant players, when they continued to look down and found the rewards related to the event, their eyes lit up instantly!

Although I still don't understand it very well, in front of this reward, it doesn't matter whether I understand it or not!

Build it and you're done!
