I Make Games To Scare Crying Players
Chapter 38: Technology Game Network
Soon, discussions began on the Internet about whether "Face" had a combat system.
If there are, discuss in detail how to deal with these ghosts.
If you say no, you will be ridiculed by the group, saying that you have played too little games, so go home and make up for it.
Its topicality remains high, occupying the top position of all major game websites.
It completely made the game "Dense Forest Fright" fade out of the public eye.
Even if Danmaku.com has UP as a strategy video, the comments below are still a pleasure to watch.
They all joked that they couldn't even copy well.
This led to a sudden death in sales, the kind that couldn't even be saved, making Jiyou.com once again the object of champagne for players.
At this time, in a science and technology park in Bincheng, Mr. An, the executive president of Jiyou Network, looked at the financial report with an ugly expression on his face.
He directly asked one of the five major studios to skip the studio to the fifth floor for a meeting on the internal communication network.
Without him, "Jungle Forest" was developed by this studio.
Now that the sales volume is dying, it is natural to ask for clarification.
After receiving the news, Yang Ying, the person in charge of the studio, thumped in his heart, and sighed in his heart, the one who should come has indeed come
When the company set up this project, he knew that something bad would happen.
One is that the team has no experience in making horror games, they don’t know how to write stories, and they don’t know what kind of scary techniques to use. The word atmosphere is full of question marks.
Second, the project development cycle is too short, only two months
My peers would not believe this development time, and even people in other studios thought it was a fantasy.
But it happened, and the jump studio he was in charge of took over.
It made him want to point at the high-level man and curse: Damn it! Do you know how to make games?
Yang Ying sighed, stood up, looked around at his colleagues, and shook his head.
Afterwards, the main policy, the main process, and the main beauty were called, a total of 4 people came to the conference room on the 5th floor.
As soon as he entered, he saw the president, Mr. An, sitting on the main seat with a calm expression, looking at the document in his hand as if nothing had happened.
This made several people uneasy and uneasy.
The calm before the storm!
Yang Ying and the others found a seat and sat down, waiting quietly for Mr. An to speak, but he was still staring at the document in his hand, and there was no response for a long time.
Nuo Da's meeting room made Yang Ying and others feel pressured.
So, under the eyes of the chief planner and others, as the person in charge, he had to bite the bullet and ask aloud.
"Boss An?"
The voice is small and the tone is very cautious.
After all, the An in front of me is always famous for talking about KPIs. There used to be a very capable supervisor in the company who was deducted bonuses because the KPIs were not up to the standard that month. So Mr. An directly disbanded the team and arranged him into In other groups, he resigned after a long time.
It can be said that Mr. An is the kind of leader who is completely unreasonable.
Hearing someone calling him, the president raised his head, glanced at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Yang Ying.
This made the latter feel the pressure again.
Simply, Mr. An didn't look too much, but moved to the document in his hand again, which relieved several people.
"Mr. Yang, let me ask you, how many people are there in Jump Studio now?"
Mr. An's voice was flat and emotionless, and he didn't look at them, but it gave them a feeling of being judged.
Yang Ying hesitated for a moment before answering the question.
"Counting us, there are 32 people."
Mr. An nodded and continued to ask.
"Then with so many people, plus the 1.2 million budget approved by the company, you can tell me how much sales of "The Thriller in the Jungle" will be made."
Yang Ying suddenly felt a headache.
The problem of sales is also something that has made him sleepless these days.
Because there are so few sold, he is too embarrassed to answer now.
But the president asked, so he couldn't help but say it, right?
So Yang Ying took a deep breath and whispered the sales figures.
".1408 sets."
"1408, um."
Mr. An answered immediately, with a flat tone.
This reaction only gave Yang Ying and the others a feeling of growing uneasiness.
"Come and tell me, with a development budget of more than one million yuan and more than 30 people, how did you make this kind of game? This is not counting the promotion fee of more than 400,000 yuan."
Yang Ying scratched his head, glanced at the master plan next to him, saw that he was shaking his head helplessly, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer again.
"Mr. An, it has nothing to do with the number of people. The main reason is that the development cycle is insufficient. This kind of game with a lot of details and gameplay really needs time to polish. But the development time of 2 months, all our efforts are not enough. That’s the only way to go. A game like this would take a year at least.”
"Then why can others make it in such a short time?"
Mr. An interrupted Yang Ying's words without hesitation, moved his eyes away from the document in his hand, and looked at him.
"Others are developed by one person, and you are developed by more than 30 people. Your number advantage can't match the time period? Can't you compare to others for a month?"
Yang Ying and the others' eyes widened immediately, and they couldn't believe that the president in front of him actually believed this statement!
one person? a month? Obviously a gimmick!
Why did Mr. An really believe it?
They looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a while.
Mr. An was not in a hurry, and stared at them with his arms crossed, waiting for an explanation.
Yang Ying glanced at Master Cheng and signaled him to answer this technical question.
The latter looked ugly, but he still opened his mouth to explain.
"Mr. An, we have analyzed the game "Dark Forest". Leaving aside the aspects of art, plot and value setting, it is impossible for one person to make it within a month in terms of technical ability alone. The volume. There must be a group behind this.”
However, before he could finish speaking, Mr. An interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"I asked you to come, not to brag about how powerful others are, but to tell me, what should you do now in this situation?"
Mr. An put down the documents in his hand with a displeased expression on his face.
"Do you know why you stopped your "Fire of War" project? It's because the current horror genre is showing signs of becoming popular! If you enter this blank market with few people, you can get the cake early. Look at that dark forest or What kind of game is dark, isn’t it a double harvest of word-of-mouth and sales? Others can do it, why can’t we do it? That’s why I asked you to stop shooting games in your hands and hurry up to study and analyze the structure of the Black Forest game , Copy another one out and enter the arena to test the waters."
Mr. An stood up and lit a cigarette.
In the conference room, only people in his position dared to smoke here.
"I originally thought that with your level, how could you produce a finished product in sevens and eights? Then, with the company's publicity channels and word-of-mouth, even if it doesn't sell well, you can still pay back. This way you can understand the market. Under the circumstances, the next game can be established early and focused on development. But the result? Only 1,408 sets were sold? Is it because the development cycle given by the company is not enough?"
After Mr. An finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the few people who hadn't answered, and shook his head.
"The problem for you now is that KPI is too far behind other groups. Before "Fire of War" was made, "Jungle Forest" failed first. At the same time, many companies are now looking at the horror game market. Yours This game has been designated as a stepping stone for others. And the only game is about to release a new work recently, what do we use to get in?"
"Since you said that the development cycle given by the company is short, that's fine. The company has given you a new opportunity."
He picked up the document he was looking at earlier, and slid across the conference table, right in front of Yang Ying.
The latter was puzzled, reached out to pick it up, opened it, and immediately widened his eyes.
Seeing him pick it up, Mr. An continued to speak.
""Dense Forest" was regarded as a failure of the company's water test, and the superiors recognized it. You should also have experience in making horror games by now, so I will give you a second chance. Now the superiors have spared no expense to issue a second budget appropriation document, 6.65 million. It is required to create an original high-quality horror game to enter the market. You don’t need to ask for high sales, but you must gain the reputation of those who only know how to play games, and lay the foundation for future projects.”
Yang Ying looked at the budget document in his hand, and then at the main planners. Under the pressure of the second chance, an unprecedented horror game idea sprouted in his heart.
On the Internet, despite the poor sales of "Dense Forest", its price remains unchanged at 168 yuan, which means that the skill game is determined to keep it unchanged.
This can only make netizens admire, "You are really there, Jiyou." '
It's all rotten like this, how can I save face?
On the other side, the only game, Meng Shu is polishing the game in a development engine that monkeys can use.
"Face" has been developed, and this is the third time he has polished it.
Although with the help of the system, the game has no bugs and does not need to be polished, but the problem lies in the horror experience.
The reason is that when he was trying to play with VR, he was shocked by the very realistic atmosphere inside!
This is another gaming experience different from the computer screen!
Especially when his San value dropped in the test and the wraiths came out to hunt him down, the sense of desperation and hope of survival he experienced was unparalleled.
Even he couldn't help but feel a little bit of nervousness and fear.
You must know that Meng Shu himself has passed the level before, and he is very clear about where there are high-energy points in the game and where there are plot trigger points.
If even he has the psychology of fear.
That player can't be worse?
In fact, Xia Nianzhen was frightened to tears during the demo.
Therefore, if players are allowed to play with the ignorant expression of "I am Mengxin", it may have the opposite effect.
Therefore, he repaired and repaired again and again, trying to optimize and improve some places that were too scary, so as not to cause problems for people.
In this way, time passed day by day, and the day before the release date, "Face" was finally completed!
