As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 137 Soul Game
In recent years, soul-based games such as "Eirden's Ring" and "Sekiro" have become popular.

Especially this year, "Elden's Ring", jointly created by Miyazaki Hidetaka and George Martin, has gained both fame and fortune, and has received praise from countless players.

So much so that in the competition within Goose Factory, in the team where Chen Ran was, the system planner hoped to make a soul-based VR game.

The fidelity of VR performance is absolutely no less than that of the host screen, and Goose Factory has no shortage of art talents.

Chen Chi insisted: "If you just make an RPG game with no new ideas, change the skin according to the current popular ones in the market, and redesign a set of weapon systems."

"Based on this basis, it is safer to make some micro-innovations, such as designing some unique weapon systems and combat methods."

"But I don't think we'll make it out of fifty teams."

Chen Chi is the system planner of this group. Both he and Chen Ran joined the goose factory together after graduating from university.

Although they did not graduate from the same school, the two had a good relationship because they belonged to the same family, and the Goose Factory recruited by the same school were both avid game lovers.

Not only colleagues at work, but also friends in life.

Chen Chi originally thought that Chen Ran would support his idea. Soul-based games, 3A masterpieces, combined with brain-computer VR connection, just thinking about it, his blood has already started to boil.

Chen Ran insisted on his idea: "We make RPG games, PVE and PVP in parallel, and make the plan as perfect as possible. I believe in the strength of our team."

"The same ingredients, different chefs can make different tastes."

He wanted to focus innovation on combat styles and a unique weapon crafting system.

There is only one thing in the old tradition of the Goose Factory game: krypton gold can become stronger.

Players can krypton gold to become stronger and enjoy the thrill of unparalleled mowing in the virtual world.

Chen Chi was a little angry: "Haven't we made enough of those things? Can we only do this kind of krypton gold game for the rest of our lives?"

"Make the values ​​​​fit the krypton gold curve, and then make a game that can have super high profits."

Chen Ran explained: "It is very difficult to make a game with super high profit and high turnover."

Chen Chi nodded: "Of course I know it's difficult. It's boring and difficult to make hits. Why can't we take a different path this time? Mark said in an internal meeting that he encouraged everyone to make hardcore VR games."

"You need to calm down, the hardcore that Mark said is probably not the same as the hardcore you understand." Chen Ran tried to appease the other party, "We can indeed make soul games, but have you ever thought about the most critical question? "

Chen Chi reacted quickly: "You mean the version number?"

Chen Ran nodded: "Yes, "Eirden's Ring" couldn't get the game version number, and "Monster Hunter" couldn't get the game version number either."

It is almost impossible to get a version number for a soul-based game. Let’s put it this way, many foreign 3A masterpieces want to get a Huaguo game version number.

Even if it is greatly changed, it is difficult to obtain.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds back then has been revised in response to opinions, but the game version number is still not available.

"We are making a soul game on VR, but we can't get the version number, so we can't sell it in China."

"Does it all depend on European and American players to pay for us? The cultural barriers may not be so easy to get through."

"Huaguo does not have the basis for the success of this type of game, and it is difficult for us to gain the trust of players."

Chen Chi said directly: "Back then, Hidetaka Miyazaki's first game was a huge success."

"And the biggest factor for our success lies in the unique game experience brought by brain-computer connection VR."

"Combine the brain-computer connection and VR operation method with the ultra-hard core PVE, I believe we can do it."

The two were on the 29th floor of the Goose Factory building, looking at the night view of Pengcheng, which was still full of lights under the night.

This is a rare opportunity, and everyone knows it.

Not only because the company attaches great importance to it, but more importantly, after they got the samples provided by Kechuang Future, they realized that it does have technical advantages that other VR devices cannot match.

Other VR devices need to spend chip computing power to predict the player's movement direction, and the brain-computer connection to VR is not used, and this part of computing power is completely saved.

At the same time, the first-generation AI chip independently developed by Kechuangbiology is also built into the brain-computer connection VR.

Not only is the brain-computer connection specially optimized, but it can also provide part of the computing power for graphics processing.

Chen Chi continued: "Have you forgotten our dream when we first entered the goose factory?"

"I think we should not just run around for a house, work hard to meet the assessment, and fight not to be optimized when we are 35 years old."

Both of them will have an annual salary of one million. They have worked in the game development department of Goose Factory for more than five years, and there are not a few of them who have reached this level of income.

It's just that the housing price in Pengcheng is even more outrageous than that in Shenhai, and it can be called the most outrageous in the first-tier cities.

Even with the income level of the two of them, they can barely buy a house in Pengcheng.

Chen Ran was moved, and he pondered for a while: "If we want to do it, then we must do it before foreign game companies react."

"If we wait for From Software to react, whether it's porting their Souls game to brain-computer connected VR, or making a new Souls VR game, we will be very passive."

From Software is the developer of "Sekiro", "Dark Soul" and "Eirden's Ring", and a well-known developer of soul games.

Although the market for soul-based games is not monopolized by a single game manufacturer, with FromSoftware in the lead, the sales of soul-based games produced by Goose Factory are bound to be affected.

Soul games are a one-shot deal, unlike RPG online games where you can set various krypton gold points to let you krypton gold.

Of course, maybe Goose Factory can make soul games that can make krypton gold points.

Just like before, no one would have thought that games like "The Legend of Zelda" could also set krypton gold points.

Chen Ran was persuaded by Chen Chi, and when he told the other members of the team about their two ideas, everyone was very excited.

Producer, system planner, numerical planner, copywriting planner, concept artist, scene artist, UI artist, and character artist, they have a total of eight people in this team.

In addition to game development, other staffing is basically complete.

"I've been wanting to do something different for a long time!"

"It's really meaningless to make krypton gold games. If you repeat the previous game on the brain-computer connection VR, it's really meaningless."

"I think so too, but if we need to make a soul game, we have to think carefully about how to make it special."

"Especially when combined with VR, although brain-computer connection VR is directly realized by the brain to move, but its handle buttons are limited, and the fighting methods must be limited."

"I think we need to maximize the impact and feedback of the attack on the move."

"These are one of the details that need to be done. We have a lot to do, and everyone needs to take care of themselves for a while recently."

　I am a cloud player, and I like to watch others play Elden's Circle, but if I really let myself play, I really don't like the feeling of being abused hahaha.
