Netherworld Game Producer

Happy Paradise can make games like Escape 3 because of a boss like Li Wen.

Few companies are halfway through the development of a game, because the producer's wild ideas, and then increase the budget of the game several times, allowing the game producer to realize his whimsy.

This kind of boss who does not consider the cost and the loss at all is absolutely very rare.

The main reason is that the entire shares of Happy Paradise are all held by Li Wen alone.

If, like other game companies, there is a board of directors.

There is a high probability that the board of directors will reject Zhang Chunsheng's application to increase the budget.

In this way, only a mediocre orthodox escape sequel will be made. Under the aesthetic fatigue, the sales volume of escape 3 is definitely not as good as it is now.

Fang Hong, Xiao He, Xiao Zhang, and Xiao Zhao are all senior industry insiders and have also produced many games.

Because of the development of the game engine in this world, the game production is more efficient than Li Wen's previous world, and the cost of the game has also been reduced a lot.

Although they have always worked in third-tier manufacturers, they have never produced games that cost 100 million yuan.

The cost of 100 million is based on the cost of the entire game production process, only the cost of the game production, and all labor and the like are deducted.

Pure game production costs.

It is not the cost of labor, advertising, and resources in the board of directors.

According to this calculation, the cost of the gods game can indeed exceed 100 million.

However, the money actually used in the game is less than one-third.

Fang Hong and Li Wen have also communicated for so long, and naturally they know how Happy Paradise calculates the cost when making a game.

Every penny was spent on making the game, and even the purchased neurotuning equipment was not counted in the cost of making the game.

Such a game company is directly attractive to a game producer.

To be honest, when Li Wen came to dig him, he was already very moved.

But at that time, the gods game he made had not been launched, and he was not refrigerated by the company as he is now.

Therefore, he will not choose to change jobs just because of his own heart.

Now, the series that has always been his production has also been replaced by a younger man in his place.

He was completely put into the cold palace, although he still had the title of producer.

But the light of dawn would not give him any more chance to prove himself.

If you still want to continue making games and want to fulfill your dreams, you can only change jobs.

Because of the Waterloo of Shenming Games, to be honest, other third-tier manufacturers probably won't want him. Of course, even if other manufacturers want him, he can't go to other third-tier manufacturers.

Now he just wants to enter the happy paradise and try his best to make a game, a game that can be passed on by word of mouth among players.

The difficulty is not small, but he feels that if he has the full support of Happy Heaven, he will definitely be able to do it.

Moreover, this time it is an action game with Li Wen characteristics that is different from the market.

He couldn't imagine how he would fail.

Especially in the past two days, Battle Royale, a free-to-play game, was born, and it is an extremely easy-to-use play mode.

Plus ninety-nine players all crammed into a single map for intense battles.

Although the game is different from traditional competitive games, it is a bit different, but I have to say that this mode of play is really great.

Especially when playing in a team of four, you can fully utilize various combat tactics.

Although the game still has some shortcomings, the flaws do not hide the flaws, and the game as a whole is still very good.

There is even a mode to enjoy the purest and most authentic dark mode.

Fang Hong tried to play this mode once, and he felt that he could not control this mode at all.

Probably really only perverts can play properly in real mode.

Although he is a game producer, he still has a certain understanding of the game market, but he has not yet understood how to make a profit in the battle royale game.

It's normal, just like Li Wen's world.

When foreign game manufacturers gradually face up to domestic players and gain a deeper understanding of the domestic player market.

They also cannot understand why domestic free-to-play games are so profitable. The games themselves do not have high-quality content, but they can make a lot of money.

These big foreign manufacturers are crazy.

There used to be a saying, 'Blizzard's products must be high-quality products. ’

Such a company specializing in high-quality games is also influenced by domestic games.

At a certain game conference, a game that was "highly anticipated" was released.

Diablo mobile game...

Players at the time thought it was a heavyweight game like Diablo 4, but they waited for a mobile game.

The press conference was silent.

The Blizzard host even said the famous quote at the time, "Don't you have a cell phone?"

Since then, Blizzard has also gradually gone downhill, and the boutique is no longer.

No way, the market cultivated by the deformed online game market can indeed destroy a company.

Of course, the main reason for the collapse of Blizzard was not the influence of the domestic deformed market.

It has to be Activision.

As a Fang Hong who has always been relying on the quality of the game to mix in the buy-out game market.

I must not understand the power of free in-app purchase games.

Fortunately, Li Wen is not too crazy, such as krypton gold props to increase attribute points.

The kryptonite props that increase player attributes are what Li Wen despises the most.

If nothing else, he shouldn't do such a thing.

...

Fang Hong and the three people under him left.

Fengshen.

It has been finalized that Fang Hong and others will join Happy Paradise next week after handing over the work with the original company.

Because this is a game made by applying the Nioh system, and the production team of Happy Paradise and Fanghong have no experience in action games, a large number of employees need to be recruited from the beginning.

And, a lot of money is spent on various specialized engines and equipment for action games.

Buying equipment and recruiting staff go hand in hand.

No one does not want to work for Happy Paradise, so when the recruitment information was released, it became a hot search.

In just one hour, I received countless resumes.

Most people don't even know what an engine is before submitting a resume.

Mainly because the bonus of Happy Paradise is too scary, especially the bonus that the zero production team broke out this time.

Let countless netizens go crazy.

Over three million...

This is money that most people probably won't be able to earn without eating or drinking their entire lives.

How can this not make netizens crazy.

Therefore, when Happy Paradise sends out recruitment information, they don't care whether they really know it or not, they submit their resumes anyway.

What if you get selected?

Right, maybe Li Wen took a fancy to a certain trait in himself?

Anyway, just submit your resume.

This caused a lot of trouble to the Personnel Department of Happy Paradise, which had few people.

Although with the expansion of the company, some people from the personnel department of Crescent Company were also absorbed.

However, in this massive resume, it is very blue and very blue to select qualified candidates.

There is no way, even if it is very blue, it needs to be done. After all, sending a resume is also a personal freedom, and it is not an illegal act.

This also makes the personnel department begin to feel great pressure.

This time we need to recruit 300 people.

Various occupations are required, art design, scene design, motion design, etc.

After all, it is an action game, which is much more complicated than the previous games made by Happy Paradise.

At the same time, because of the recruitment information released by Happy Paradise this time, it has caused speculations from countless players.

Recruiting 300 people is not a small number.

And it also recruits employees with experience in action games. It is not difficult to guess that this must be a big action game production.

Li Wen will always make a different type of game from the world, so players are also looking forward to this action game in Happy Paradise.

What kind of action game will it be?

Is it an action horror game?

Could it be that he directly beat up the ghost?

Thinking about it this way, there doesn't seem to be anything scary about horror action games.

Besides changing the enemies to ghosts, what's the difference from other action games?

Players really can't imagine what kind of action game Li Wen will make, but they definitely know that this must be a different game.

After all, players in this world have not been baptized by the old thief game.

I don't know what a soul game is, and I don't know that the game can actually make players suffer and play happily.

The old thief's game has always been regarded as a small circle work.

Demon's Souls, Dark Souls series, Bloodborne.

Until Sekiro became popular in China, soul games suddenly started to catch fire.

Especially the old man ring, it is even more popular.

In fact, at this time, Sony took advantage of the time when the old man was out of the circle, and quickly remade Bloodborne PS5 according to the scale of the remake of Devil's Soul.

\u0026 released at the same time as the PS5 version, the sales are definitely more than anything, the adventures of the illiterate father and the son of the god of war, the past is no longer, and the Spider-Man and Shenhai 4 sold more.

After all, it is supported by the heat of the old man's ring.

Coupled with the super high game quality of Bloodborne, and the best DLC of all the old thief games, it can definitely sell for a good price.

pity.

Bloodborne is like a wild species, completely forgotten by Sony, that painful thirty frames, and 1080P resolution, and the optimization that PS5 will still drop frames, indeed...

Li Wen didn't do Devil's Souls right away, and Resident Evil 2 also came to an end.

In fact, he is now ready to make Devil's Soul, if Fang Hong hadn't joined Happy Paradise.

He may form a new production team himself, or he will first be a fengshen (Niwang).

First use Fengshen to test the water and gain some experience in action games.

The soul game he is going to do cannot be done by copying the original, because the game of the second world era.

It is not an easy thing to make a quality online soul game.

It's impossible, so it's mandatory that players can only use the simple basic attack action of slashing.

Such a next-generation game, it is strange not to be scolded to death by players.

On the old platform, completely copying, and then using this world technology to remake the picture, is not inconsistent, and can be produced perfectly.

And in this way, the cost of the game will not be too high.

Unfortunately, times have changed.

The gaming world was instantly dominated by the second world.

Second World has also become the best-selling gaming device, bar none.

The idea of ​​​​making games can not be the same as before.

Just like Escape 3, it is necessary to break the original idea of ​​making games and create new ideas.

Therefore, with the Devil's Soul made by Li Wen, players can play a lot of bells and whistles.

For example, throw the weapon in your hand as a hidden weapon, and the blue bar will slowly recover, which is affected by the equipment and the player's addition.

It will also balance the magic, and there is no such thing as a firestorm that kills everything.

The hardest point in the game to make is on the enemy's side.

After all, the player is no longer disabled, and can be flexible like a monkey without clothes.

It will even become faster by adding points, speed and strength.

Such a powerful player, if you want to make it suffer, naturally you can only start from the enemy.

It is good to say that elite monsters can use AI to improve the intelligence of elite monsters, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

But what about ordinary monsters?

In the old thief game, the most difficult thing is not the boss or the elite monsters, but the ordinary miscellaneous soldiers.

Although the miscellaneous soldiers are easy to solve, they can always inadvertently complete the feat of slaughtering the 'God'.

What is the death of the king, the three dogs slaughtering the gods, and other extreme settings.

This extremely disgusting setting makes players feel unparalleled frustration. After the player's value is increased, it is very difficult to balance it.

Li Wen didn't want to make a failed Devil's Soul.

Therefore, a soul-like game will be made first, not a pure soul game.

Fengshen applies the Niwang system, except that some settings are considered to be soul-like, but it is actually completely different from the soul game.

Niwang is a game that mainly allows players to use various martial arts, ninjutsu, and yin-yang techniques to suppress monsters.

Even in the face of BOSS, especially the human type BOSS, you can even suppress it until you can't even fight, and then you die.

The soul game is more like a turn-based game than an action game.

Through the gap between the monster's shot, and then counterattack, after the counterattack, the player needs to retreat immediately and continue to observe.

A lot of times, the tricks between you and the monsters are you and me, and so on and so forth.

Especially the Dark Souls series.

Until the blood source was made, the style of the two-person transfer in the past was changed. Because of the characteristics of attacking blood, players were encouraged to attack.

Even some bosses, such as Aries, because of the rigidity effect of part destruction, players can suppress Aries to death by wiping a fire talisman for a week.

There is also the daughter of the universe, who used to be a nightmare for all players, and can also be suppressed to death by using part destruction.

Bloodborne is indeed the most enjoyable game in the old thief soul game, and the DLC pushes this fun to the extreme.

Whether it is with Ludwig who turned into a horse, or with Lawrence, a blood cow with only half a body.

Senior Sister Maria, who was guarding the tower in the small fishing village, and the orphans who beat countless players to autism in the last normal fight.

However, no matter how refreshing the bloodborne battle is, Li Wen would not do bloodborne in the first place.

No way, he doesn't even have experience in a soul game now, and after making it, it is estimated that it will be nondescript.

The most important part of the soul game is the design of the enemy.

Each type of enemy needs to be carefully designed, so that every player can clearly feel what suffering is...

But also make players feel that they can beat it with a little effort.

In particular, having the player get killed by mobs only creates frustration.

Don't let the player generate, "Fuck, you can't even beat a miscellaneous soldier, and you're playing a fart."

Instead, "Fuck, here comes this kind of yin thing again! It's hard to guard against it."

Miscellaneous soldiers are the essence of the soul game.

Players can easily deal with it in one-on-one situations, barely win in one-on-two situations, and become Muggles if they are not careful in one-on-one situations.

The difficulty of such a game is actually very difficult to control.

Nioh and Soul games are actually completely different in design.

Although I don't want to admit it, Nioh can fight a BOSS at the beginning of a miscellaneous soldier. If he doesn't pay attention, he will be killed by the opponent.

The difficulty of the game is very exaggerated.

Especially when fighting with elite monsters, if you use the Soul Game mode, the difficulty of the game will skyrocket, making players desperate in an instant.

To be honest, Li Wen didn't even know how he passed Nioh 1 by relying on the game mode of using Soul Game.

At that time, the game gave him a very bad impression, especially after clearing the level, some double BOSS levels.

Gan!

One of the levels that impressed him the most was the level where Nobunaga and his woman BOSS huddled together.

Play him directly to autism.

Later, after Nioh 2 came out, the disgusting setting of double bosses disappeared, and the game values ​​did not collapse.

[To tell the truth, recently I have been using Wild Fruit to read and read books to keep up with updates, switch sources, and read aloud tones, which can be used by Android and Apple. 】

Nioh 2 also added a demon, and the difficulty of the game has been reduced a lot.

It is also the most popular generation for all players, especially after Nioh 2 was released on PC, Axiu, with the blessing of MOD, stirred the hearts of many LSPs.

This time, Li Wen will play the game Fengshen together with Fang Hong.

Not in name, this is Happy Paradise's first attempt at a new game, and it's also the world's first second-world suffering game.

Naturally, he needs to use 100% of his energy to make it.

He wanted to make Fengshen a one-of-a-kind action game franchise.

Li Wen even gave Fengshen a budget of one billion yuan, which made Fang Hong and his three younger brothers dumbfounded.

As I said before, they haven't even made a game with a budget of hundreds of millions.

This is the happy paradise, and he was able to take over the production of games with a budget of one billion.

Even Fang Hong didn't expect that Li Wen would be so generous. He thought that Li Wen's ability to spend 300 million to be a conferred god would be considered a king blow.

I didn't expect to take out a billion directly...

This.

When Fang Hong and his younger brother left Happy Paradise, it was very stressful.

...

a week later.

The Fengshen production team was officially established, and the recruitment of personnel is still continuing, and it is not full.

Resident Evil 2 has also been officially produced and has been sent for review.

Li Wen can finally devote himself to the production of Fengshen game.

Escape 3 sold five million in one week.

The results are quite good.

And the dawn of the night made by Zhang Chunsheng and Su Yang is about to be completed.

And the flow of battle royale is getting higher and higher. Although it has not made money yet, it has already recovered some money.

Fifty trustees in the company were successfully trained and started to officially 'work'.
