Play Game of Life

After finalizing the direction, the designers returned to their seats and started to get busy.

For game design, the most difficult thing is often to determine the general direction of the design, not the details.

Of course, this is not to say that the details of the design are not important. Although a classic game needs to have excellent framework and details, the consequences of the two overturning are completely different.

If there is no problem with the big frame and some details are flawed, it is relatively easy to change. It only needs to change the real-time calculation of a few cutscenes, rearrange the lines and dubbing to solve it.

But no matter how perfect the details are, it won't help if the big picture is wrong.

Most of the time designers spend in the design process is spent on endless debates.

Every design affects the whole body. It can be said that the design of the entire game is a super-large chaotic system, and each designer has different considerations.

If it is an ordinary team, a producer with no opinion, then the designers often fall into great internal friction, and each gameplay will have to hold meetings and discuss repeatedly, which will greatly slow down the development progress.

This is why star producers are so important in the game industry: these star producers have enough courage to decide on the big frame and various details under the big frame, and can integrate the power of designers to the greatest extent to ensure the general direction of the game No deviation occurs.

As for Lu Zhixing, he also has other things to be busy with.

The character audition for all players is about to start!

…

8pm.

Players found that 404 Studio's official Weibo post.

The content of this Weibo is very simple, just a paragraph and three accompanying pictures, but this seemingly simple Weibo immediately caused an uproar among the players!

"Studio 404's new work "Sword Shadow Liaoyuan", an action game with the theme of Magic Three Kingdoms, is now open to enthusiastic players at home and abroad to conduct auditions for character models!

"The only requirement: to be similar to the character image in the original painting, and have time to participate in the motion capture of the phantom and other work.

"Salary is settled according to the standards of professional motion capture actors, and the specific working hours and working methods can be discussed in detail!"

As for the three accompanying pictures, they were naturally the original paintings that Lu Zhixing had just completed, and they were divided into three different camps: Wei, Shu and Wu.

Of course, there are also some well-known figures in the Three Kingdoms who do not belong to these three camps, such as Lu Bu. Strictly speaking, he should belong to the "heroes" camp. Another example is Sima Yi, it is not wrong to set up a "Jin" camp for him and his descendants alone.

But there are not many such characters after all, so these people are only interspersed in the original paintings of Wei, Shu and Wu.

For example, Lu Bu, although he was in the Wei camp, did not stand with these Wei generals, but kept a certain distance and had a confrontational posture to show this hostile relationship.

The other characters are basically interspersed in the three original paintings in this way.

Just these three original paintings have already shocked netizens.

"Fuck! A new project from Studio 404!"

"This time it's the theme of the Three Kingdoms? Good, good, Three Kingdoms fans are ecstatic! Are there any Cao Thief fans?"

"This original painting is really awesome! This art design is amazing! It looks better than the Three Kingdoms game made by Xiaotian!"

"It's not just good, it's all-round crushing! Although Xiaotian also understands the Three Kingdoms, after all, there is still a layer of cultural barriers, and the Three Kingdoms still needs Chinese people to do it!"

"Is this drawn by Mr. Lu? Why did Mr. Lu disappear recently? When did you take off your vest and walk around the virtual Jinghai? Countless fans are waiting for you at Jianghu Square and Longtan Park!"

"Is this drawn by Mr. Lu? Why did Mr. Lu disappear recently? When did you take off your vest and walk around the virtual Jinghai? Countless fans are waiting for you at Jianghu Square and Longtan Park!"

The first reaction of most players seeing these original paintings is amazing!

Prior to this, the game companies that did the best Three Kingdoms games should be the game companies on Xiaotian. Whether it is strategy games, unparalleled games or action games, the characters of the Three Kingdoms in them have left a deep impression on domestic players.

Although there are some companies in China that have made Three Kingdoms-themed games, most of them are mobile game companies with little strength. Most of the original paintings of military commanders are outsourced, and the quality is uneven.

Moreover, in order to save trouble, many companies will directly "borrow" the images of those classic Three Kingdoms characters in Little Days, and the effect is often not as good as the original.

For example, Zhang Liao's square hat, Zhou Yu's Japanese-style helmet, etc., although it does make the characters recognizable, there is still something wrong after all.

The three original paintings released by Studio 404 are obviously very different from the original original paintings!

On the one hand, the details of the costumes of the characters above are particularly exquisite, which has a kind of charm of the old Three Kingdoms. On the other hand, a certain amount of artistic exaggeration has been carried out, so that it will not appear too realistic or too plain.

After all, "Sword Shadow Liaoyuan" is the theme of demonizing the Three Kingdoms. Although it is not possible to demonize the characters in it into other races, domineering armor and cool special effects are still essential.

Of course, if there are only a few original paintings, the players will at most marvel and look forward to it, and it will pass.

After all, no matter how good-looking the original painting is, it is still static after all. Before the game is actually made, they cannot interact or participate.

But looking at the text of this Weibo, the players instantly became calm.

"Huh? Audition phantom?"

"Are you required to look like the character in the original painting? Don't be kidding, Lu Bu in the original painting must be at least two meters tall. Are you planning to let a basketball player play it?"

"Basketball players are not good either. Look at this Lu Bu. He has a big shoulder and a round waist, and he has a proper double-door refrigerator. Basketball players generally don't have such a figure. Besides, not only the figure, but also the appearance! The eyebrows are so thick, and the eyes are so staring. Yuan, you said that there are people who grow up like this in reality? I really don't believe it!"

"There are a few characters in it that have the charm of the old Three Kingdoms. Can you invite those actors from the Old Three Kingdoms?"

"That's enough. Those old artists are too old. Will they be able to bear the motion capture? And the body shapes don't quite fit."

"It feels like a gimmick, it's just to promote the game."

"I really know that there is a blogger on the Internet who looks like Lu Bu! I'll send him a private message to see if he's interested."

"This Xun Yu really looks like a friend of mine. I'll ask him if he wants to go."

"This fat Dong Zhuo looks like my leader, so I'll tell him to go."

"...upstairs, I'm a headhunter, please contact me if you need a new job!"

Although most people didn't really take this audition seriously, they still forwarded the news to people they knew with the mentality of working hard or watching for fun.

Whether it's the anchor or a friend around you, as long as you look a little like, please let me know.

Anyway, no matter what, the most important thing is to participate!

What if you get selected?
