Beautiful women are always easy to please.

The release of Bayonetta can be regarded as setting an example for the entire industry.

The previously timid developers saw the popularity of Bayonetta, and they all realized that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment might have made a lot of money this time.

In the past, many game manufacturers were more or less influenced by the group of people with the loudest voices, so they had to make the characters as unattractive as possible. For this reason, some works even attracted a lot of infamy.

However, at that time, shareholders of game manufacturers who did not understand games did not understand.

Obviously these are the things you want, but why the sales are not good in the end?

But now they finally understand.

The loudest guys aren't necessarily gamers.

Gamers really don't have that many ideas, they just want to play some fun or good-looking games.

In this process, the picture quality pursuers and the gameplay pursuers are already divided into half, and the easiest development among them must be the picture.

Because this can completely rely on technology to win.

So immediately after Bayonetta, one game after another finally began to produce more beautiful character images without restraint.

"Boss, I have already said that the image of our game characters should be better, because this is the only way to save our company from going bankrupt."

In a certain game company, a game producer with shares finally couldn't bear to confront the company's boss in a public meeting.

He couldn't take it anymore.

When the boss recruited them before, what he said was very nice, what gave them creative freedom, or let them develop games to their heart's content, without considering the cost of the game.

However, when it comes to reality, it doesn't matter if there are financial obstacles. Game development is definitely not smooth sailing, and the biggest obstacle is the lack of funds.

But game development and movies have similar benefits, that is, there are ways out with no money and no money, as long as your idea is smart enough.

Isn't that how the hot indie game circle has risen today?

However, what he can't bear the most is another kind of discomfort, that is, the boss above starts to restrict the direction and content of their development.

In the earliest days, the bosses asked them to develop the most popular games at that time, and they could no longer be limited to the good games they wanted to create.

Immediately afterwards, the boss began to restrict them from being as prominent as possible in the character image they developed, because this way they would not be targeted by the loudest guys, and making money quietly was better than anything else.

In the end, the main creator of this game broke out completely. After Bayonetta was released, he finally found a reason to confront the boss of the game company.

"Boss, look at the game Bayonetta. It's really fun enough in terms of gameplay, but it's definitely not the top game of Youxing Electronic Entertainment. But this game has been widely welcomed, so why don't you Do you understand the players’ choices? They will never like the deliberately ugly image. In the game, what people pursue is a beautiful experience outside the real world. They don’t want to bring those unpleasant feelings in the real world to the game. inside!"

The boss of the game company listened silently to the accusations from the creators at the conference table.

The main creator of this game is already a very obvious behavior of lowering the upper hand, but the video game industry is a very young industry today, which is very different from other industries.

And now his company is indeed facing a business crisis. If he doesn't make any changes now, all his investments will be in vain.

"So, what is your solution? According to what you mean, we only need to create a good-looking character image?"

"Of course it's not absolute, but at least it can bring about some changes, at least prevent us from being at the mercy of a group of guys who are not players. Those guys are obviously not our users. Why should we develop according to what they say? Is it a game?"

The boss was finally a little loose, he said: "Then you have a try, it's just that I don't have much money now..."

The main creator immediately said: "Don't worry about this. If I am here, at least I can keep the team going for a while, and we can work hard to develop a good enough game within this time!"

The boss said with a wry smile: "If we could develop an excellent game so easily, we wouldn't be doing poorly until now."

"No, boss, our direction was wrong before, but there is still a chance to save it now, because we are proud that there are still many excellent resources and materials that have not been produced, and now we can save it in time and develop an industrial standard game. "

"Industrial standard game?"

"That's right, at the same time, we need to change the character image and give up those ugly characters. This time we will develop the game to our heart's content, but all of this requires your permission, the boss. If you don't agree, I may now Just resign."

Hearing the words of the main creator, the boss finally had no choice at this time.

At this moment, the future of his company may be in the hands of the chief creator in front of him. The only thing he can do is to give some financial support as much as possible.

Looking at the company he worked so hard to build, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I won't restrict you any more, you can do whatever you want, but I still say what I said just now, I really There is no money left."

"Please don't get me wrong, we're not trying to save the company, we're trying to save the game we've worked so hard to create."

"Then... let's do it."

Hearing the boss's affirmative answer, the chief creator finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It has always been his wish to develop the game he wants to create, and now he can do it.

At the meeting, other people hardly dared to breathe. If the main creator can confront the boss, they don't even think about it.

But seeing the main producer of the game convince the boss, they were all glad.

At least the boss is not so obsessed that he can't listen to anything he has to say.

After the meeting was over, the producer quickly returned to his small game development team office.

At this moment, the core backbone has long been waiting for the return of the producer.

"How is it? What did the boss say?"

The producer smiled: "The boss agreed, but there is no salary, but we have regained the right to change the game."

"Long live!" These people cheered after hearing it.
