Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 270 174 New plan?

Chapter 270 174. New plan?

The next morning, when Qing Zhiyuan walked into his office, he saw a project plan on the table.

He was a little strange, so he leaned against the door and asked the secretary.

No, little HR.

Ayase Akane raised her head and said, "Oh, that one, it was delivered here on Mikami this morning."

"Where's Mikami?"

"Let's go to the meeting."

"Okay, then after he finishes the meeting, you ask him to come to my office." Qing Zhiyuan instructed.

"Okay president."

The little HR wrote it down with a pen.

Akane Ayase is currently organizing Qing Zhiyuan's daily schedule in detail.

After the explanation, Qing Zhiyuan returned to the office, sat on a chair and looked through Shinji Mikami's project.

Different from what he imagined, this project was not about the shooting game "Border", but a brand new game.

Good guy, is Mikami really not afraid of being exhausted?

I'm currently working on "Border", "The Witcher 2" and "Diablo 3" and are thinking about new things even before they are launched. Is Mikami busy enough?

Or are you not planning to make sequels to those games at all?

You think it’s too much money to earn, right?

There is basically an unwritten rule in the game industry, or it is called a convention——

When a game is very popular and reaches a sales line, a sequel will be released.

And every producer has a great wish, that is, they hope that their game sequels will last forever.

For example, the Final Fantasy series in the previous life has been reaching 15 and 16. As long as Square does not go bankrupt, Qing Zhiyuan has reason to believe that they can achieve the day when the earth is destroyed.

Being able to develop a game sequel is actually an affirmation of the producer's ability, and it is also something that is on every producer's mind.

Of course, except G Fat who can’t count to 3.

Shinji Mikami is a good guy. He has left so many big IP sequels behind and is now working on something new for me.

Qing Zhiyuan opened the plan and started reading.

This project plan is equipped with a lot of picture descriptions, and you can basically tell that Mikami drew it himself.

The name of the project is [Yan Motian]

In fact, it corresponds to the Chinese King of Hell. In the neon mythology, Yama is the ruler of the underworld and the judge of the dead.

The image of Yama varies, sometimes as an old man with a serious face, sometimes as a young man wearing gorgeous clothes.

So this is an antique mythical game.

And it’s also a side-scrolling game.

The background of the game is probably:

[Yan Motian] reincarnated and became a mortal.

But because of Yan Motian's departure, the entire underworld was in chaos. Many monsters were released, and the human world and the underworld were reversed. Under such circumstances, the underworld needed to find the reincarnation of Yan Motian, and then return to the underworld to restore order.

In this context, some conspiracies gradually surfaced.

It turns out that there is a huge conspiracy behind Yan Motian's reincarnation. Some great gods in the underworld do not want him to come back. Moreover, hundreds of ghosts walk at night and monsters cause chaos. All of this was carefully planned.

There are many accompanying pictures in the middle, which give it an antique feel of Ukiyo-e.

After reading this part of the introduction, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but click his lips.

Nice idea.

But shouldn't this job be done by Gen Urobuchi, or Jun Asae and Mika Ishino?

Mikami Shinji can't suppress the ancient power in his head, can he?

He is indeed my favorite gold medal producer.

Qing Zhiyuan continued to look at it and found that the story was actually all there, and there was not much written after that. It basically explained the gameplay, character design, etc.

Although the gameplay is a 2D horizontal version of the game, it is quite creative.

In the game, enemies will have two different souls, one is [White Soul] and the other is [Black Soul]

Players can choose a certain kind of soul to accumulate when killing enemies. Different souls activate different skills and combos. Souls can also help build weapons and equipment, open the next level, etc.

In other words, the collection of souls not only affects the game's combat, but also affects the game's plot.

Of course, you can also choose to collect both souls and ultimately take the [soulless] route.

In different routes, the enemies encountered and the stories that happen are also different.

Quite interesting.

And it is very closely integrated with the world view of the entire game.

Coupled with this Japanese classical style of Ukiyo-e, it is really artistic.

Qing Zhiyuan flipped through it and found that there was a mini game about taking a bath at the back.

It should be said that Mikami has embedded many mini-games in this project, and even the gameplay descriptions of the mini-games are more detailed than the main gameplay.

For example, this [bath mini game]

It says "Benefits for players". As long as you can prepare hot water, you can get a glimpse of the female character's beautiful body.

In the game, there will be many different pipes [made of bamboo] with complex designs. There are many valves in the pipes, and there are two water inlets, one of which is hot water and the other is cold water.

What the player has to do is to control the valve to neutralize the two and become [warm bath water], which finally flows into the bath from the main outlet.

What the hell is this?

Qing Zhiyuan said it was very confusing.

"Has this guy Mikami been stimulated by anything recently?"

Being teased for not having a girlfriend?

Is that why you put your fantasies about women into games?

Mikami, when did you become an LSP? Why didn’t I know?

Moreover, don’t Lao Xu and Mazi also have no girlfriends?

No, it should be said that most of the company's employees have no partners.

It's strange to say that, except for old guys like Sakata Taiji and Akanishi Ken, so many young men and women in the company are actually single.

Could it be that this company is cursed?

Or is it that I, as the president, have the aura of being single?

No, no, it's impossible. I've already found a girlfriend myself, so it should have nothing to do with me.

Qing Zhiyuan shook his head to dispel the uneasiness in his heart.

…

The project proposal totaled more than 30 pages, with interesting illustrations and illustrations. Qing Zhiyuan read it quickly.

When Qing Zhiyuan closed the project, his mind was filled with [hot and cold water] and [black and white soul].

The plan is good, it has some ideas, and the drawings are also good. Is this going in the same direction as Ma Zeda?

but……

Qing Zhiyuan frowned slightly.

This style is so different from Mikami’s.

how to say?

More wild, rough and bold, that's probably what it feels like.

…

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

Qing Zhiyuan looked up and saw that it was Shinji Mikami.

"Please come in."

"President, are you looking for me?" Mikami came in and closed the door gently.

"Well, I've read your project plan," Qing Zhiyuan said, "It's quite creative, but the details may not be considered and needs more polishing. And where do you have the time to make so many games?

My suggestion is to finish "Border" first, and then release the project for "The Witcher 2" as soon as possible. "

"Eh?"

Shinji Mikami was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "President, you misunderstood. In fact, this project is not mine."

"Huh? Not yours?" Qing Zhiyuan was slightly surprised.

But he suddenly understood——

No wonder I said this style is so different from Mikami Shinji's.

Mikami is actually a very rigorous and meticulous person, so he probably wouldn't have made such an unrestrained and bold work.

"Then who wrote this? Is it Wada?"

Urobuchi Gen has this possibility, but it is impossible for Lao Xu to draw so many paintings. It would be nice to give you a light novel for you to experience.

Ma Zhijun's style is even less different.

"Actually," Shinji Mikami said with a smile, "this project is a submission from someone outside the company who wants to find a job at Pokeni. President and I have the same view. It's quite interesting. It's creative and well-drawn. I haven't seen many games of this style until now.

However, many details are not in place.

For example, the role of Black and White Souls, as the core gameplay, does not seem to be different from other side-scrolling action games.

I originally hoped to see more reasonable and amazing settings appear in the plan, but thinking about it carefully, it is not enough.

But overall, as an outsider, this newcomer is actually very talented. "

"I see."

Qing Zhiyuan nodded silently.

Now that Shinji Mikami knew what was going on, he was relieved.

But from Mikami's words, he should think highly of this newcomer, otherwise he wouldn't have put the project on his desk and just sent it back.

But at the same time, Mikami may also be a little worried, afraid that he won't be able to control himself, because this person has obvious advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that it is bold and creative, but the disadvantage is that it can't be restrained, it is too unrestrained, and it comes up all at once, and it lacks systematic game planning thinking.

At the same time, it can also be reflected that this person's personality is of a carefree and unconstrained type.

The company has no shortage of talented people, but their personalities are also different.

For example, Xin Haicheng is relatively reserved.

Ma Zhi is definitely a perfectionist.

Lao Xu is extremely sinister.

Hidetaka Miyazaki is sinister and shy (it's really strange that these two almost completely unrelated words can be brought together in one person).

Mikami is steady and down-to-earth.

The only one who can be trusted here is probably Shinji Mikami.

"What is this person's name?" Since Mikami Shinji liked this contributor very much, Qing Zhiyuan also asked casually.

Shinji Mikami paused for a second and answered:

"Hideki Kamiya."

Good guy...

You guys from Platinum Studio are almost here.

…

Hideki Kamiya is definitely one of Neon’s genius producers.

Just look at the game works he led the development of:

"Devil May Cry", "Red Joey", "Master", "Bayonetta"...

The birth of Devil May Cry was an accident. Because it did well under Shinji Mikami, when developing the sequel to Resident Evil, Shinji Mikami, the senior, asked Hideki Kamiya to lead a new console, that is, Resident Evil sequel on PS3.

However, Kamiya Hideki is indeed a bit unscrupulous, and as soon as he thinks about it, he wants to add more action elements and make the battle more exciting and exciting...

After finishing most of the game, Shinji Mikami took a look and thought, well, you are still dealing with Resident Evil here. Just take this thing out and make a new game.

Thus was born the famous "Devil May Cry" series, which can be called the pinnacle of 3D action games at that time. From expression to gameplay to plot, it can be said to be a masterpiece.

Then this producer has several hobbies in his life. The first one is cool movements.

This is evident in his games.

The other one just likes to have some color.

So there is Bayonetta at the back.

Another one is that I like to add various mini-games to the game, such as masturbation in Bayonetta, decryption mini-games, etc...

ah……

Right, right.

Qing Zhiyuan finally felt the familiar feeling in that project.

Kamiya Hideki could write the project "Yam Motian" and the bathing game, so Qing Zhiyuan felt that the flavor was right.

The style is actually quite similar to "Okami" produced by Hideki Kamiya in his previous life.

The game "Okami" is also the reincarnation of gods, with all kinds of monsters and antiques.

This game is a typical game that is neither well-received nor popular. Very few players have played it. It only sold 140,000 copies on Neon that year, but everyone who has played it thinks it is a well-deserved masterpiece.

…

Hideki Kamiya.

God.

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh.

Shinji Mikami in his previous life can be regarded as Hideki Kamiya’s master.

Both of them worked at Capcom, and they also developed the Resident Evil sequel together and later made Devil May Cry.

Later, due to unsatisfactory sales performance, both Mikami and Kamiya were exiled by Capcom.

Then, they established a new studio together and continued to run wildly on this road of gaming.

The production concept has never changed. The Platinum Studio that was later re-established was to produce "high-quality games" and every game must be selected into the Platinum Hall.

I didn’t expect that we would be so fateful in this life.

It would be great if Hideki Kamiya could come to pokeni.

At that time, Qing Zhiyuan can continue to let Shinji Mikami lead this newcomer.

An excellent producer, Qing Zhiyuan never has too many.

Qing Zhiyuan coughed twice, suppressed the joy in his heart, and said calmly with a calm expression:

"This guy seems to have a lot of potential."

"Why don't you send him an offer?" Qing Zhiyuan said.

"Yeah." Shinji Mikami nodded, "Then what position will he be invited to take?"

“The project proposal is well written, and the drawings also have their own style and ideas.”

"It goes without saying," Qing Zhiyuan said, "Of course he is the game planner. For Hideki Kamiya, you are making things difficult for him by asking him to do art."

Um?

Is it a bad drawing?

For the first time, Shinji Mikami had doubts about his own aesthetics, because he felt that Hideki Kamiya’s project was really well matched with pictures.

But the president must have a reason for saying this.

"Okay president."

…

In fact, pokeni is not the only company where Hideki Kamiya submits his resume and project proposals.

He has invested in companies such as Nintendo, Konami, Namco, and Capcom.

Anyway, as long as he has a bit of fame, Hideki Kamiya will join him in making games.

The planning book is also quite well done.

so,

At the same time, several companies also took a fancy to this young gamer who had just graduated from college.
