Say Yes To Making Bad Games, What the Hell is Titanfall?

The landside is numb.

The moment he saw little Nezha walking into the office, he knew something was wrong.

Little Nezha himself is a phoenix chick, he doesn't understand games at all, he almost does what Gu Cheng says.

Sometimes I even have a sudden whim, and the whole outrageous job comes out.

But this time, Gu Sheng turned into a crouching dragon again, as if his head had been lowered, he just wanted to play a horror game.

Lu Bian couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart.

Well, this is a bunch of smart people.

The company's No. 1 and No. 2 people fell ill collectively, and no one could stop Jin Zhifeng from dying.

soon!

When all the personnel arrive, the project approval will begin.

In fact, rather than saying that the project establishment meeting this time is a "meeting", it is better to say that it is a "private chat" between Gu Sheng and Xiao Nezha.

After all, several other people are hanging their heads and thinking about each other at the moment——

What Lu Bian thought was that the appointment would be over now, should he take the initiative to propose to be the person in charge of the project, so that even if the project was thunderous, it would be his own reputation, so don't ruin the supernova honor that old Gu Gang got.

What Dajiang thought was that since the horror game was already a certainty, how could he make it more colorful in terms of original painting and modeling, even if he couldn't make up for the flaws in the gameplay, at least make the game not so ugly.

As for Chu Qingzhou, what he was thinking about was how to connect with Yiyou, put a little pressure on Yan Sheng, and ask him to increase the promotion of their game. The 80,000 yuan must not be wasted!

Several people had their own concerns, frowning and thinking, writing and drawing in the meeting book from time to time.

And little Nezha and Gu Sheng are having a very lively chat right now!

What Gu Sheng thinks is that although little Nezha doesn't understand game production, at least she understands games and knows what players think.

The success of the last vampire survivor is the best proof.

Little Nezha's seemingly nonsense opinions, but they happened to step on the key points, and finally made him choose the game "Vampire Survivor".

So this time, he is going to do the same.

As for the little Nezha, he is unconstrained, with the mentality of losing money, how outrageous what can I say.

Try to make this game a mess on the basis of unpopularity, and strive for a loss to the end.

"...Well, shrinking the map is a good suggestion."

Gu Cheng wrote down the suggestion that little Nezha just said in his notebook:

"Is there any more?"

"besides……"

Little Nezha raised his chin and thought hard.

So far, she has given Gu Sheng almost all the rubbish ideas she can think of.

Considering that all popular games in the past had weapons, she suggested that Gu Sheng cancel the weapon settings, deliberately disgusting the players.

Considering that the game process of the previous fire was long, she suggested that Gu Sheng shorten the game process and destroy the player experience.

Considering the vastness of the game map that was popular in the past, she suggested that Gu Sheng compress the game map to reduce the player's sense of exploration.

It seems that all the advantages of horror games that can be thought of have been wiped out by her.

For a while, little Nezha lost his mind and looked around the meeting room.

Immediately afterwards, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind!

"Oh, by the way, can you...make the game a multiplayer mode?"

Shen Miaomiao cheered in her heart!

I! wise!

To know!

In the past, horror games were all single-player games in order to pursue a sense of atmosphere!

Not to mention teammates throughout the game process, even an NPC is rare!

The purpose is to create an atmosphere of isolation and helplessness, and fully amplify the player's sense of panic in a terrifying environment!

It can even be said that this is the core of horror games!

Horror games for one person are scary, two people, three people or even four people together, it's scary!

Shen Miaomiao felt that she had grown up.

From knowing nothing about the game before, to now, I can see the essence through the appearance, and hit the core of the game in one click!

congratulations!

Gu Sheng who heard this was also taken aback.

How many people?

yes!

Why didn't I think of the idea of ​​multiplayer online before? !

"Um--"

Gu Cheng pondered, frowned and looked at the little Nezha's opinion recorded in the notebook, frowning in thought.

No weapons, small maps, short processes, multiplayer online, plus an emotional value cannot exceed 50,000 points.

Optionals seem to be clearly visible already.

With a pen, Gu Sheng wrote down the name of the game in the notebook——

"Phobia"

good!

After a round of delineation by Comrade Xiao Nezha!

Gu Sheng's originally chaotic thoughts became clear all at once!

Immediately, I chose this multiplayer online horror puzzle game that was once on the best-selling list of steam, surpassing "Cyberpunk 2077" and other works!

Tsk tsk, it seems that in the future, I really need to communicate with little Nezha.

Gu Sheng nodded secretly.

My own game library is too huge. It is not easy to find an accurate game. I need the help of Nezha!

It's literally every word!

Gu Sheng wrote down the name of the game in his notebook, very satisfied.

Then she looked up at Shen Miaomiao, "Okay, I understand, do you have any other comments or suggestions?"

Shen Miaomiao felt that her head was already aching, and she was exhausted.

Shaking his head: "Okay, that's it, you just watch and do it."

Anyway, the framework is already here, no matter what Gu Sheng does, it probably won't make any waves.

After finalizing the game framework, it's time to talk about investment.

According to Gu Sheng's basic calculation, if you want to make "Phobia" on the somatosensory cabin platform, you need about 500,000 to 800,000 yuan conservatively.

"Plus the equipment landing fee for the somatosensory cabin..."

Gu Sheng wrote a chic 100 in his notebook:

"It will cost about 1 million yuan."

The somatosensory cabin is expensive.

Of course, besides that, Gu Sheng also wanted to make this game more refined.

As we all know, because of the low cost of the original horror of ghosts, the quality of the final picture performance is actually not high.

The characters are stiff, the ghost textures, the physics collision and the ragdoll system are not ideal.

Although the gameplay makes up for it, it makes it look flawless as a whole.

But this time Gu Sheng is at the helm of the production, and with little Nezha's full support, he definitely hopes to make it more perfect.

Even, in addition to its original game content, Gu Sheng also wanted to add some Chinese horror elements.

Paper man, paper horse, white paper money, old school house and nursing home.

Give the players a little spiritual fear of the golden wind, and the shock of the underworld.

Stimulate.

So, Gu Sheng counted all these miscellaneous things, and estimated that it would be around one hundred thousand, not counting the landing fee for the somatosensory cabin.

Of course!

This is just his own estimate.

After finishing speaking, Gu Sheng didn't get up in a hurry, but looked at little Nezha very skillfully.

It's your turn, let's get started.

And little Nezha waved his small hand as expected: "How can this little money be enough to make a motion-sensing cabin game! Two million!"

Hey - comfortable.

Gu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Since he entered Golden Wind, he felt uncomfortable without adding two or three times the budget for each game.

OK.

Gu Sheng nodded.

It is really difficult to increase the budget for a game like Maolio, after all, the quality of the picture and the difficulty of production lie there.

But isn't it easy for a game like phobia to burn the budget!

It will cost a lot of money to casually increase the expressiveness of the cloth system!

This is where the gameplay comes into play. Increasing the budget means increasing the expressive power, and increasing the expressive power means increasing the degree of horror!

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng spread his hands——

Originally, this game wasn't particularly scary, but my boss insisted on increasing the budget, so how scary is this game...

But it's out of my control.
