There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

"Motion capture studio?"

Lin Yao was a little surprised when she heard Chen Qiuwen's words.

In fact, she has been thinking about this.

She also has a deep understanding of the efficiency of motion capture technology. In her previous life, she worked on the original painting of games, so she also understands the situation of domestic game companies.

Similar to here, there are not many opportunities to use it usually, most of the work is done by manual k-frame, and motion capture is only thought of if it can't be solved.

Even the goose factory pig farm will only use motion capture to make opening animations on some masterpieces.

For example, the title animation of God of War.

But in the next few years, more and more motion capture was used in games, and its position in game development became more and more important. In games like "Detroit: Become Human", motion capture actors even became popular.

In fact, Lin Yao has been thinking about whether it is time for Linmu Studio to set up a motion capture department.

Because she is just one person.

With the expansion of the forest studio, there may be a demand for this in the future, and it will be huge.

"Hmm." Chen Qiuwen nodded, unable to hear the strong curiosity revealed in Lin Yao's words.

He was still anxiously waiting for a reply.

He is really worried.

Because if you think about it in another way, it is impossible for him to agree...

Lin Yao also noticed it. She temporarily put aside the matter of the motion capture studio, and turned to pick up the plan that Chen Qiuwen had brought out.

"Let's talk about this."

"……good."

Lin Yao then chatted with Chen Qiuwen about the plan in detail.

How do you want to do it, what should you do in the end, how to play it, what type, how to design...

Mu Wanqing glanced at Lin Yao, smiled, and then quietly left to go about her own business.

Lin Yao and Chen Qiuwen chatted for about an hour and a half.

Chen Qiuwen chatted more and more smoothly, and finally said almost all of his thoughts without reservation.

Lin Yao finished listening, and then flipped through the proposal book he gave.

I think this game is totally feasible.

In fact, this is a good thing.

people, especially workers.

It's normal to work for a salary.

But a little ideal, wanting self-realization is actually a good thing.

Otherwise, you will become numb while you are doing your work, your enthusiasm will fade away, no matter how high the salary is, and after the basic needs are met, dawdling will become the norm.

but.

Although totally feasible.

But the game is almost meaningless.

Lin Yao has played quite a few games by herself. This game is qualified, but it may be difficult to make people shine. The only thing that feels particularly good is the setting of the witch.

Referring to legends, Chen Qiuwen fabricated a race of witches, and also described the habits and lifestyles of the group in detail, which is quite novel.

But Lin Yao personally thinks that she can add some more eye-catching things to it.

"It's good, but..."

Lin Yao nodded, and then asked: "You only talk about the Victorian period in your worldview, are you simply setting the stage in that period?"

"Eh... Actually, I haven't thought about it yet." Chen Qiuwen scratched his head.

This aspect is not his strong point, so he only cares about conceiving the content of the game.

"Okay... Actually, it can be like this, let me make a suggestion."

Lin Yao thought for a while, turned around, and suddenly pulled out a piece of A4 paper, and started to draw.

Chen Qiuwen took a look with his head, and then waited patiently.

Fifteen minutes later.

Lin Yao turned around again and showed Chen Qiuwen the sketch she drew.

It was a 'soldier', and it didn't look like a soldier, because his lower body was not a human leg, but an ultra-long mechanical leg armor full of steel beauty...

Standing on the leg armor, this tall, weird but handsome soldier holds a crossbow in his right hand and a projectile in his left hand, and seems to be roaring.

Next to the soldier, there is a knife drawn.

But what is different from ordinary knives is that this knife has two forms, one is a normal form, and the other is a folded form, leaving only the handle.

"……What's this?"

Chen Qiuwen looked at the soldier in a daze.

From his limited knowledge, on a scientific level.

This thing is just a joke.

But it is full of industrial beauty, very handsome!

"Soldier."

Lin Yao raised the A4 paper and handed it to him, then said, "I wonder if you've heard of steampunk?"

"Steampunk?" Chen Qiuwen looked at the A4 paper given by Lin Yao again and was greatly shocked.

"Steam refers to large-scale machinery powered by steam engines, and punk refers to a non-mainstream fringe culture. You can simply understand it as a special kind of overhead world."

Lin Yao explained: "I think, "The Witch" can use the nineteenth century as the background, and then assume that there is a new technology in the industrial age, showing a new and different world, such as the coexistence of advanced and backward, magic and science. , some people are driving robots to fight, and some people are using magic...

For example, this soldier can be set like this. Have you seen the jar behind him? That's whale oil, and this pair of leg mechanical armor is powered by whale oil.

"The Witch" is a world where witches and humans coexist. There is magic, but there is also such a black technology that cannot exist in reality, which is primitive and advanced.

19th century industrial revolution, gears, pistons, bearings and... witches.

These are probably the key words. "

"..."

Zhang Qiuwen's eyes widened again.

This sounds like bullshit.

But I don't know why, but I always feel very emotional.

And yes.

Witches are hypothetical.

So why not assume a... nineteenth century kingdom with black technology?

This moment.

Zhang Qiuwen thought a lot, and all kinds of ideas popped up.

"How is it?" Lin Yao asked.

"Cool, really cool. Your idea is really cool."

Chen Qiuwen sighed: "Sure enough, I'm still far behind. I'll go back and think about it, Mr. Lin."

"What are you thinking?"

Lin Yao was a little funny: "Join the witch, I was just giving you a suggestion. Your plan is pretty good, let's try it out. After all, Greenlight provides technical support to other third parties, and its own studio It's just stupid for someone inside to want to make a game with potential and get stuck on purpose."

Chen Qiuwen was stunned: "..."

"You can put "Fantasy OL" aside for the time being. This is a new project, and you are in charge of the team. You should coordinate with Zhong Xiu and Ms. Mu, but I don’t think there will be so many people available for you in the short term. I’ve been very busy recently. "

Lin Yao went over the recent workload of the studio: "Also, in terms of budget, you can give me an approximate amount, and give it to Ms. Mu..."

"Boss Lin agreed!? Will Boss Lin also participate in the project? Will he definitely participate?"

Zhang Qiuwen came back to his senses suddenly, interrupted Lin Yao directly, and asked in surprise and expectation.

Lin Yao was a little speechless: "You are the leader, don't want me to be a coolie before the project starts, and you don't need my deep participation..."

Chen Qiuwen was a little embarrassed: "It's not a coolie, it's the core. The steampunk mentioned by Mr. Lin just now is really interesting, but I'm not good at worldview, and I only have a rough impression of the steampunk you mentioned..."

"Okay, of course I will provide support."

Lin Yao shook her head with a chuckle.

In fact, the studio's Vaporwave game platform has reached this point, and it is indeed time to make a masterpiece in the true sense.

There must be a sign.

"The Witch" is good, the concept is very interesting, if you add the steampunk style of "Dishonored", by the way, you can learn from the cool ability endowed by the mark of the outsider.

It really feels like it has potential.

"Thanks."

Seeing the healing smile on Lin Yao's face, Chen Qiuwen suddenly calmed down, bowed his head slightly and whispered thank you.

When he said this, he didn't dare to let Lin Yao see his face.

Finally.

I have been working in a small company for so many years.

Finally, an opportunity came to us in Linmu Studio.

Chen Qiuwen really had mixed feelings.

He felt that perhaps the most correct decision he had made in his life was to jump ship and come to Linmu Studio.

"Thank you, no need."

Lin Yao smiled, and continued: "Let's talk about the motion capture studio."
