Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 278 182. I’m scared of you like this

A week later, the "Princess Mononoke" seminar resumed again.

This time everyone read the script carefully after returning home, and now have a deeper understanding of Princess Mononoke.

"Ah~ it is indeed a work by master Hayao Miyazaki. After reading it, I fell into deep melancholy." Taiji Sakata can be regarded as a die-hard fan of Hayao Miyazaki. Every time Ghibli releases a new He will definitely watch the animation when it comes out.

Thanks to the president, previous producers CL and LL were able to work with Miyazaki Hayao.

But this time, he saw the script earlier than all the viewers in the world, and it can be said that he will die without regrets in this life.

"Yes, I didn't sleep well all night after reading it. I kept thinking about one question over and over again -

Why can't Ashitaka be with Shan? " Akanishi Ken asked.

He felt regret from the bottom of his heart.

What kind of story does "Princess Mononoke" tell?

The story starts with the young Ashitaka as the main line.

The story is that Ashitaka killed a wild boar that turned into an evil god, and was cursed as a result, and his life could not be saved.

In order to lift the curse, Ashitaka went to the ironworks in the west alone.

And while fighting the wild beasts with the locals, he met Princess Mononoke, who was raised by wolves.

Princess Mononoke itself is an ironic existence.

As a human being, she was abandoned by her parents in the mountains and forests when she was a child. It was the ferocious and terrifying wolf that humans call her that rescued her and raised her as his own daughter.

The wolves hate humans so much, but they did not kill Princess Mononoke when she was a child.

It can be seen that animals are also kind-hearted, unlike humans, who are full of hatred. If a human caught a wolf cub, he would definitely kill it immediately and not take it with him to raise it.

From here, it is enough to see that these animals are also reasonable. If humans hadn't pressed hard, they wouldn't have tried their best to drive away humans.

And Princess Mononoke Shan exists as an [animal], the [opposite] of human beings.

Later, humans and beasts started a war, and unscrupulous businessmen profited from it and stole the head of the mountain beast god. As a result, the entire forest was almost destroyed because of the [continuously expanding] body of the mountain beast god.

Under such circumstances, the male and female protagonists worked together to recover the mountain beast god's head and return it to the mountain beast god's body, thus saving mankind, as well as the forest and the animals in it.

In the end, Shan returned to the forest, but Ashitaka stayed in the human village. The two were not together, which was indeed a regret in the hearts of countless viewers.

However, the concept expressed by Hayao Miyazaki here is also very clear:

Ashitaka represents the neutral and moderate among humans, while Princess Mononoke Shan represents nature and animals. There are many conflicts between the two that cannot be resolved. Their different positions led Princess Mononoke to say something like that in the end——

"I like Ashitaka, but I hate humans."

Therefore, it is inevitable to return to each other's environment in the end.

However, Ken Akanishi, who first read this, found it hard to accept it instinctively.

"That's probably because they have different positions." Shinji Mikami responded, "Shan was raised by wolves, her home is the forest, and her family is the wolves. She cannot integrate into normal human life. . And I think what Hayao Miyazaki means is that the relationship between humans and natural animals is full of contradictions.

The prerequisite for harmonious coexistence is that both parties can let go of their hatred. "

Taiji Sakata and Ken Akanishi next to them were very dissatisfied.

Gee, the planners are all hard-hearted.

I finally figured it out.

However, Mikami's words were irrefutable.

The planners are really disgusting!

…

Several people were red-faced during the whole process, except for Xinjin Cheng, who was sitting next to him and acted like a quiet handsome man.

He held his chin, immersed in the story constructed by Hayao Miyazaki.

Thinking back again, I still sighed in admiration.

A work like "Princess Mononoke" may not be possible for Shinjin Makoto in his lifetime.

…

"Okay, I'm very pleased to see that you have all read the script carefully."

Qing Zhiyuan clapped his hands to wake everyone up from the quarrel.

"Then everyone must have a lot of ideas. Let's talk about it. If such an animated movie is to be adapted into a game, what type should it be made and how should it be done.

Everyone can speak freely, brainstorm, and say whatever comes to mind without any worries. "

As soon as Qing Zhiyuan finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to Mikami Shinji.

He is the only one planning this.

However, Qing Zhiyuan glanced around and picked out Sakata Taiji first.

"Sakata, please express your opinion first."

"I……"

Taiji Sakata frowned. There are dedicated producers and planners here. What can I do as an artist?

"I can only talk about it from my own perspective. It may not be as complete and detailed as the planners thought."

"No problem, I just wanted to hear your thoughts." Qing Zhiyuan said.

At this time, planners are not allowed to make plans. Qing Zhiyuan wants some "unexpected" effects. Planners will instinctively consider rationality, and then the plan will be "converged".

In the brainstorming stage, what Qing Zhiyuan wants is ideas and insights.

"Princess Mononoke is an animated movie, so from my point of view, its storyboards, character modeling, including scenes... these are actually very story-telling.

How to bring players the same gaming experience as [watching movies] is the most important thing. "

Sakata Taiji hesitated, and when he said this, he raised his head and glanced at Qing Zhiyuan.

It's like a primary school student who is called up to answer a question in class. He can't even guess the answer, but he still has no idea.

"Yeah." Qing Zhiyuan agreed very much, nodded repeatedly, and motioned for Taiji Sakata to continue.

Ah?

I never expected that I would be recognized by such a picky president.

Sakata Taiji felt a little more confident and became more and more excited as he talked.

"So, the best way to give players this immersive viewing experience... I think it should be a galgame type. By giving players options to promote the game, the artists will focus on interpretation and animation display."

He finished speaking in one breath and looked at Qing Zhiyuan, expecting to be praised by the president.

But the president's smile froze on his face. He was smiling just now, but now his brows were furrowed.

Well……

I thought you could give some great answers.

Is this the result?

"No," Qing Zhiyuan shook his head, "Leave the presentation of the plot to animation. No matter how good we are, it can't be compared to Ghibli's animation. If you just want to experience the plot, it will be difficult for others to do it." Why do you want to come and play your game?

Don’t forget, the movies will come out first, then the games.

Doing so will ruin pokeni's reputation. "

With Hayao Miyazaki's nationality, when the animation was released, most of the players would probably have seen it.

"Hmm... It seems that's right." Taiji Sakata covered his cheek, only feeling a slight toothache.

However, he still tried to save it, "Or can we adapt the script and add some plots to the game that are not in the animation?"

When he raised his head, he met the eyes of several other people.

Everyone here looked at him like an idiot.

"Okay, pretend I didn't say that."

Taiji Sakata immediately gave in.

"Akanishi-san, what do you think?" Qing Zhiyuan called the names one by one.

Ken Akanishi seemed calm and calm, and he seemed to have been preparing for it for a long time.

He spread his hands and smiled bitterly, "I don't have any ideas. I just need to cooperate with the program to implement it. I will try to satisfy everyone's creativity."

Eh?

Mikami, Sakata and Nitsu stared silently.

Akanishi looks so calm. He didn't think about anything after doing this for a long time, right?

"Well, it's okay," Qing Zhiyuan nodded, "I feel relieved with your words."

Nani?

Is this okay?

Sakata Taiji said that he just talked about loneliness, isn't Akanishi, an old fox, too thief?

"Xinjin, what about you? What do you think?" Qing Zhiyuan looked at Xinjin Cheng.

The latter frowned and thought for two seconds, then slowly shook his head, "I've been thinking about how to create the look of the animation, but I don't have much idea of ​​the specific gameplay.

It is indeed very difficult to bring the look of animation into a game while making the game itself interesting and attractive to players. "

"Well, that's true." Qing Zhiyuan nodded, "How about you think about it again."

"Okay president." Xinjin Cheng said.

Several people expressed their opinions, but in the end nothing seemed to be of use.

Everyone focused their attention on Shinji Mikami, expecting him to give a satisfactory answer.

Shinji Mikami suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

Sure enough, in the end it still depends on planning.

He crossed his hands, lowered his eyes slightly, and pondered, "Hmm... I'm thinking about whether to make "Princess Mononoke" into a two-dimensional action game with a top-down perspective like Diablo."

"Huh? What should I say?" Qing Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.

""Princess Mononoke" itself is an animated movie, and the characters, scenes and story have actually been set for us.

There are actually many battles and big scenes in it.

Ashitaka's longbow, Princess Mononoke's dagger, and Absy's shotgun are actually full of action elements.

If it were to be a turn-based RPG, the number of characters in the team would be too few.

As for the single-player turn-based system, although the gameplay can be made, it always feels like the [combat] design is a bit wasted.

Therefore, the most suitable thing is to make this game a two-dimensional action game with a top-down perspective, but then our focus should be on how to work on the design of levels and monsters.

Judging from the number of plots and characters in the current script, it is still far from enough to support a game.

Then it must be filled with new things and plots.

Whether Ghibli can accept it is also a question. "

Um.

Qing Zhiyuan folded his hands and thought together.

Overall, the planning is more reliable, Mikami expressed it clearly and is much more achievable.

It would be a bit of a waste of Princess Mononoke's IP if it were made into a horizontal version.

Because your character's profile performance is definitely not as advantageous as a traditional RPG.

The turn-based system has the problem mentioned by Mikami.

It seems that top-down action games are the only solution.

However, Qing Zhiyuan was still not satisfied.

"emmm... Well, didn't we just get a new guy named Hideki Kamiya? You can join him too." Qing Zhiyuan said.

At this time, Qing Zhiyuan finally remembered that there seemed to be a new recruit in the company.

Kamiya is well-known in the industry for being a trickster.

This person is very creative, but whether it can be sold for money is a matter of doubt. At least you can get some inspiration from him.

It's just that Kamiya is a big mouth, so keep an eye on him more.

…

Shinji Mikami first took Hideki Kamiya to a small dark room, and then handed him a confidentiality agreement.

"Here, sign it."

"Huh? What is this?"

Kamiya's heart trembled instinctively, and he looked around warily.

He and Mikami were the only two people in the entire small conference room, and the lights were not even turned on.

"Sign it, it's a new project. Only if you sign it will you be eligible to participate. How many people want to join but don't have this chance." Shinji Mikami laughed.

In such an environment, looking at the sinister smile on Mikami's face, Kamiya always felt as if he was about to be betrayed.

"Senior, don't do this. I'm afraid if you do this."

…
