Let you make games, you directly shoot blockbusters?

"Mr. Chen, have you thought of a new plan?"

Lao Li was the first to speak and asked curiously.

It can be regarded as asking everyone's doubts.

However.

They were answered by shaking their heads.

"No."

Chen Lin smiled slightly and closed the computer gently: "But I know what to do."

"What game is this!?"

Lao Li and others looked happy and asked hurriedly.

"Didn't I just say it? New game."

The corners of Chen Lin's mouth raised, showing a mysterious expression.

This expression made everyone present shiver uncontrollably.

Because they could recognize that it was Mr. Chen who was about to start a job, and it was such a big job!

Especially Lao Song.

I immediately recalled the dark days when I was deceived by Chen Lin a few years ago and went to shoot all kinds of outrageous CG characters.

His body couldn't help but shrink back.

Could it be that……

Everyone looked strange, guessing Chen Lin's plan.

But what Chen Lin said next made them all stunned.

"Okay, no kidding, have you noticed that many of the games we have made in the past few years are more Western-oriented?"

"Western?"

Old Song was slightly surprised: "That seems to be the case. Even if they don't have this kind of background, they are basically fantasy-style games, or casual games without cultural characteristics."

Although I don’t want to admit it.

But what he said was indeed true.

"Then what can be done?" Lao Li interjected, "The domestic game market is already relatively backward, and we can only learn from foreign methods. It has only slowly picked up in the past few years."

"And it's not like we don't know the virtues of those capital manufacturers. They can agent games from overseas, but they will never bother to develop them themselves, which makes it difficult for domestic independent games to survive."

really.

In China, all games like theirs are developed and produced by themselves, which is becoming increasingly rare.

Because those capitals only want to make money and don’t care where the games come from, so importing them from abroad is naturally the cheapest and fastest way to make money.

This has also resulted in the inability of domestic games to take off. Players only know that foreign games are good, and then a vicious circle occurs. More and more people are unwilling to make domestic games.

"Mr. Chen means to make a game with Chinese culture?"

Someone immediately understood the meaning and asked, attracting everyone's attention.

"Roughly the same."

Chen Lin smiled slightly: "In the past, we were not well-known and had no ability, but it is different now. How can we not have a domestic cultural style game?"

"We have done fantasy, magic, science fiction, shooting, leisure, development, and strategy, but there is only one thing we have not done."

"Could it be...Xian Xia!?"

Everyone's expressions changed, and they finally understood what Chen Lin meant.

"That's right, it's Xianxia! And it's a completely different Xianxia than before!" Chen Lin gave a direct answer in the affirmative.

Xianxia games, even in China, are outclassed by all kinds of FPS, let alone abroad.

Only a few manufacturers such as Changyou, Dongshanju, and Huamei are making products, but they are not considered hot products.

Since the other four sequels have performed well in overseas markets, why not use this new game quota to try out domestic themes that they have never tried before?

Think of this.

Their eyes gradually brightened.

"It is indeed a good direction." Lao Song praised, "We now have four sequels in the works, and we can be bolder and try new things in new games."

"Xianxia, ​​can the virtual terminal be able to fly with a sword, float on water and perform various gorgeous spells?" Xiaoli said excitedly.

She usually loves reading this type of novels, and she immediately conjures up various pictures in her mind, and the more she thinks about them, the more excited she becomes.

After hearing her description, others also had an idea and imagined themselves moving mountains and reclaiming seas.

It seems... pretty good?

"What about the plan? Mr. Chen, do you have a plan?"

Lao Li was eager to try and prepared for a big fight.

However.

Chen Lin shrugged at him.

"No, do you really think I have any plan?"

Yes.

Chen Lin really didn't have any good plans this time.

It can only be said that the Chinese-style Xianxia games in the previous life were too embarrassing. Even the most popular ones were constantly controversial or simply tested for thousands of years.

This is why he said he would make a new game.

Because the word "new" also represents his innovation.

As a game practitioner, he cannot always rely on the resources of his previous life.

Now that we have the resources and strength, we can try to develop our own games that belong to the wild world. Now is the best opportunity.

so.

He wanted to try it.

But when Lao Li and others heard these words, their expressions instantly fell.

"Huh? No plan?"

They were accustomed to Chen Lin randomly coming up with plans, and they couldn't stand it anymore.

"Okay, don't complain. Our planning department is not here just to show off. We usually come here like this when we fill in the plot of the game."

These copywriters and planners recruited by Chen Lin are all top elites in the industry.

They usually do the plot loopholes and supplements in his plans. They are not weak in strength. What they lack is just practical experience in large projects.

"Then...can Mr. Chen give you some tips?"

The chief planner sitting next to Lao Li asked softly.

He was very excited to suddenly take over such a big project, but more importantly, he felt guilty, feeling like a fledgling that was suddenly thrown out of the nest.

"Hint..."

Chen Lin touched his chin and thought for a while, then raised his head: "Since we are going to the virtual side, let's be bold and directly create a world of cultivating immortals."

"And it needs to be as real as possible. Players start as ordinary people, cut off their earthly ties, worship at the mountain gate, and embark on the path of cultivating immortals step by step. Weapon refining, alchemy, puppets, talismans, monsters, adventures, etc. can be added."

"You don't need to set too high a level in the early stage. You can do it step by step through version updates later on. The main thing is to polish the world view and explore adventures. There should be enough content. I will go over and look at it from time to time and make changes at any time if there are any problems."

Chen Lin poured out all his thoughts in one breath.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to make the experiences of the protagonists of those online stories into the main line, and then use this as an extension to expand the surrounding worldview content and human geography.

certainly.

Although it sounds simple.

But it is not easy to do, and it also requires porting the virtual side, which is equivalent to independently developing a AAA Xianxia game.

Honghuang's current strength is definitely sufficient.

Therefore, choosing a theme that everyone is familiar with, such as Xianxia, ​​will make it easier to get started.

as expected.

After listening to his story, the chief planner immediately had his own ideas and quickly recorded them in his notebook.

When other people saw this, they were also eager to give it a try.

Lao Li immediately spoke: "If it's a big world, it should require many characters to trigger events, right? There are also various passerby NPCs, etc. This modeling project is quite a lot."

"Who said that?"

Chen Lin glanced at him: "Have you forgotten the scanning imaging technology we just developed?"

"Ah? Mr. Chen, are you planning to use real people as models?"

Not to mention Lao Li, everyone else was also stunned.

Suddenly I had a bad feeling.

"Didn't I say before that I would try this function in a new game? Players have used real people to scan, so NPCs can't be fake, right? This can also save development time greatly." Chen Lin glanced at everyone present.

Goosebumps suddenly appeared on the person who was swept away.

Finally understood what he meant.

"I suddenly have something to do, so I'll leave for a moment."

Lao Song picked up the notebook and stood up and stepped back, the whole movement flowing smoothly in one go.

However, just as he was about to turn around, Chen Lin's words came slowly.

"When you're done, remember to record the model. I've left a city lord role for you."

Lao Song: ￥% # %…… # % @……

Depend on!

I knew it!

Old Song cursed secretly and sat back down again.

In contrast.

Others were much more excited.

"What about me? Can I be a leader or something like that?"

"And me! Can you dang it to a village chief or something?"

"I also want a more handsome character. How about the sect master?"

"Haha, old Li Tou, you can only be a gangster or a pig-killer in Novice Village, right?"

"How do you talk? Can't you be a martial arts instructor or something like that?"

"A real person plays the role of NPC? This is a great idea!"

In an instant, the entire conference room turned into a vegetable market.

They were all shocked by Chen Lin's bold idea. He actually wanted to use new technology in the game, and not only the players, but also all NPCs.

Isn't this just like a real world of cultivating immortals?

Let them all look forward to it.

What will players think when they see this game?

Even they themselves are looking forward to it.

"correct."

At this time, Chen Lin thought of something again and suddenly said: "The game NPC is expected to require a lot of people. You can go to each floor to catch young men. However, except for public personnel like Lao Song and Lao Li, the core members of the production team are not allowed to participate. Others Volunteer."

"No problem, I will make arrangements."

Lao Li responded quickly.

Anyway, he has not appeared once or twice, and there is no need to keep his identity secret. This time, he has to get a better role no matter what.

It is best to be a GM character who can be consciously controlled at any time to secretly trick players, which is called a backdoor.

After the meeting.

Others also got up and left, hurried back to their respective groups to arrange work.

As their first self-developed real-person game, each team was very motivated. They collected various materials in half a day and began to build a world view.

Especially the planning team is extremely busy.

Copywriting, values, levels, plots, tasks...

The entire department is almost responsible for the early development work of the game. Only after they have completed the foundation of the game will other departments officially start work.

By that time.

This is Lao Li's family background, and he is the head of the programming team. He needs to program various solutions provided by the planning team, as well as build servers.

at the same time.

The art team also needs to cooperate with the original painting design and embed it into the game framework.

These are the sole responsibility of the Development Director.

As for the operations director Lao Song on the other side, he naturally follows a different model.

After the game is initially formed, the three major departments of marketing, channel, and product under its jurisdiction will join in to promote the new game, design promotional copy, data analysis, event planning, etc.

Finally, there is the overseas branch.

Undertake the publicity and distribution tasks sent by the headquarters.

spread to markets on all continents.

The entire Honghuang Studio is like a high-speed machine. Without the centralized power of shareholders, the efficiency is unmatched by ordinary manufacturers.

…

"Okay, all that's left is to start the carnival. Let's go check on the production team first."

After finishing everything, Chen Lin got up and left the office and went to the Daybreak team responsible for the production of the new game.

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I heard bursts of exclamations.

Lao Li and a group of employees were gathered in front of a second-generation virtual device, looking at the picture displayed on the computer in shock.

"Is this really me?"

"Wow! Old Li Tou is so handsome in ancient costume!"

"It's like a different person!"

"My sister-in-law will probably fall in love with you all over again when she sees you."

"Damn it, if you can speak, you will definitely love me more!"

"This role really suits you!"

Chen Lin walked along the sound and finally saw the picture on the screen clearly.

It was the ancient-style old Li who was wearing an animal skin robe, holding a forging hammer, and showing off his chest and shoulders.

There are also a few large characters on the side.

"Ten Thousand Swordsmen-Forging Elder (Li Qinfeng)"
