Tokyo: Being coveted by my wife, I just want to play games

Chapter 122 Sekiro·Shiranui Maisen

Sugar-coated bullets, a fierce batch!
  "How about adding a Mai Shiranui look to the kunoichi?"

Thinking about how to make the female ninja look sexy, Cheru Fuyukawa leaned against the boss's desk while looking at the tablet and smoking a cigarette. Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and Aunt Nogi walked into the office with Yuezhu Asuka, and the moment he saw her, Fuyukawa Che raised his eyebrows slightly.

There is no other reason. Although I came here today most likely to interview a motion capture actor, Yuezhu Feiniao's dress is still very fashionable and hot.

The long, smooth silver-gray hair was dyed light green for some reason and was scattered casually on her shoulders.

The long light green hair is very strange, but when paired with her fair and beautiful little face and equally fair and slender neck, it doesn't look out of place. It even makes people feel eye-catching, and her clothes are matched in the same way. Quite outrageous.

The thick and oversized Thirty-Six Emperors were wrapped in a spring thin black sweater and a white T-shirt. The upper body was wearing long sleeves, but the long and plump white legs were only wearing a pair of denim hot pants, and the little feet were wrapped in boat socks. A pair of white shoes.

This outfit, combined with her superb looks and sexy figure, brings a strong visual impact. Not to mention Fuyukawa Che's brows raised, even Sayoko next to her was slightly startled when she saw it.

Feeling the reaction of the two people, Yuezhu Feiniao's eyes flashed a little, but soon, his eyes returned to the coldness of moonlight.

She sat on the sofa by herself, nodded slightly to say hello to Sayoko, then looked at Fuyukawa Che and got straight to the point, "Have you recruited the motion capture actors you mentioned before?"

His attitude was a little cold, not like a job seeker at all, but everyone present, including Aunt Nogi, was an old acquaintance and knew this guy's character, so no one was surprised.

After raising his chin and signaling Aunt Nogi to pour a few cups of hot tea, Fuyukawa Che sat across from her, shrugged and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I've already recruited you."

"That's it."

Hearing this, Yuezhu Feiniao flashed a little disappointment in his eyes, a little disappointed that the toy he was interested in was snatched away. At this time, Fuyukawa Che smiled again: "However, in addition to the motion capture actor for the male protagonist, I also want to recruit a motion capture actor for the heroine. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Ah? The heroine again?"

Yuezhu Feiniao raised her eyebrows slightly, recalling the painful days when she was besieged by various reporters, media and even passers-by because of her role as Haohao's mother. Her pretended aloofness was instantly broken, and she frowned and said: "I won't do it again. Will my face be in the game?"

"Well, the face capture needs to be done, but some modifications will be made and it will not be put in intact."

Fuyukawa Che nodded.

It’s not that I’m deliberately trying to scare Tsukitake Asuka, there is indeed no facial capture in Sekiro’s original work, but that’s because the production budget of Sekiro’s original work is relatively small.

Sekiro is very popular, but the entire game is only 13G in size
  What is the concept of this size? The volume of a meat pigeon game like Nuanxue is 14G, and Bloodthirsty Seal is 20G.

It is true that game size cannot fully accurately reflect the content content of a game, and there is also a gap in the technical capabilities of Chinese and Japanese stand-alone game manufacturers, but the size of 13G is still too small for this type of action game. Only the old man A little over a quarter of the ring.

On the one hand, the process is short, and on the other hand, although many elite monsters have added some action modules, the skeleton models are the same, and the character modeling and architecture are also a bit rough compared to the real masterpieces, and the capture of facial expressions is more is close to zero.

But all this is because developers and investors don’t have much confidence in Sekiro, whose game background is set in the Warring States Period, and whose combat mode is different from that of Dark Souls. But he, Fuyukawa Cheru, is different. He knows this game. Can be popular!
  Even if it far exceeds the 1.5 million R&D and publicity costs of the original work, it will eventually sell out, and he will get a lot of dividends and a lot of fame!

I know I can make money, and I have more than twice the development funds of Sekiro's original game!
  He not only wants to increase the plot of the female character, increase the process, but also strengthen the graphics!
  To put it simply, he is not trying to remake Sekiro, but just like the Resident Evil 4 remake, he wants to directly make a reset version that has been enhanced in all aspects!
  As long as the new content doesn't stretch your crotch too much, Che Fuyukawa doesn't know why Sekiro, which has been added to the content and has enhanced visual performance, isn't popular, and one of the things that has enhanced the visual expression is facial capture!
  Normally, there are special face models for face capture. For example, the face model girl who hinders Li is very cute, but Yuezhu Feiniao doesn't need it!
  This girl is good at hitting, pretty, and has a sexy figure!

As for whether she will become popular again after Sekiro becomes popular.
  "There is still a gap between the face model and the character in the game to some extent, so it should be fine."

Fuyukawa Che comforted herself in this way, but Yuezhu Feiniao, a layman, didn't know all this. After hearing that it would not cause her to explode, her expression relaxed and nodded, "Okay. But first, take me to the motion capture How about taking a look at the studio? This is my first time as a motion capture actor."

"no problem."

For a game like Sekiro, which relies heavily on the actions of the opponent and one's own to determine the next move, the motion capture actor not only needs to be able to use a sword, but also needs to express things that the player can understand and see. Comfortable.

To describe it simply, it's like playing basketball. The jump shots of players like McGrady, Kobe, and Jordan are more enjoyable and aesthetic for the audience. However, some players also make jump shots and score goals, but the audience sees them. Just don't feel anything.

The aesthetics, and what each move expresses to the player, and whether it can be understood by the player just through the movements, are also critical.

When he thought of this, Fuyukawa Che didn't hesitate too much and took Yuezhu Asuka and Sayoko directly out of the office.

But what’s interesting is that Fuyukawa Cheru’s interview for a female motion capture actor who knows kendo is not a secret within NTsoft. It’s just that because the production of “Sekiro Kunoichi Story” has not started yet, many people don’t know. Why did he do this.

There was no suspense. When Fuyukawa Che took the two beauties through various studios, all kinds of discussions were endless, but the topic at the beginning revolved around "What kind of game does Sekiro want to make?" ] this point, and later it becomes [Baga! This woman is so beautiful! 】【These legs are so tempting, you bastard! 】【Deputy Commander Fuyukawa has a very good eye for women! 】Such gossip topics.

Fuyukawa Che naturally didn't care what other people thought, and soon brought two beautiful girls to the animal capture shed.
.
  “I really don’t know why many people still regard the game industry as electronic opium.”

Looking at this super-large animal capture studio covering an area of ​​nearly 2,000 square meters, Fuyukawa Che shook his head helplessly.

As the saying goes, vision determines the future. Around two thousand years ago, the game industry was just an entertainment project for people's entertainment, and it was banned. However, the bosses did not expect that with the development of science and technology, games are no longer just games, but the realization of technology. a carrier.

It seems that the development of games comes from the development of chips and high-tech technologies such as motion capture, computing power, AI, etc., but many people have not thought about one question, and that is why so many high-tech companies spend a lot of money. , taking huge risks to develop these high-tech products?

Hobby?

Would you go to work for free just because the business philosophy of a company is in line with your own ideas?
  Others develop game-related technologies because people have needs, and people's needs bring profits.

This is a very simple logic. If there is no market demand and no profits in a certain field, funds will not enter this field in large quantities. Without the entry of funds, talents will not enter, and there will be no capital inflow and no corporate competition. , without the influx of talents, this industry would not be able to develop.

When the domestic game market is not big enough, or it is impossible to make money, funds, companies and talents will not pour into the industry in large numbers. It’s just like you wouldn’t want to go to a company with very low wages, and the fatal thing is that games happen to be one of the important driving forces in promoting the most important technologies such as chips and AI in the new era, because games, as a carrier, can These techniques translate into profits.

Profit is the driving force, and the driving force further promotes the development of related science and technology. The development of related science and technology brings more profits, and more profits bring more power. The foundation of all this is profit, and profit must come from the market, but at a certain time Duan, this market is closed.

What's interesting is that some people are shouting "They are choking our necks" and "Games are harmful to people and should be completely banned" at the same time.

Don't think that the influence of games has been exaggerated. The global game market is worth 300 billion US dollars, and the domestic game market has exceeded 300 billion yuan, and it is still growing at double-digit figures every year!
  How terrifying is this number? Let’s put it this way: the overall domestic tourism industry last year was 5 trillion.

Five trillion seems like a lot, but this five trillion includes travel expenses, accommodation expenses, catering expenses, tourist attraction expenses, shopping consumption, entertainment consumption, etc.!

In this domestic market environment that still discriminates against games, the size of the game market has reached 300 billion!

Of course, how the domestic gaming industry is doing has nothing to do with Fuyukawa Che, and he is powerless to change it. I just saw that NTsoft could build such a large motion capture studio, and I remembered that before time travel, Black Myth Wukong, a company that emerged with a domestic stand-alone machine, could only rent a motion capture studio in the early stages of game development, but many foreign countries used bad technology, and domestic He was just feeling a little emotional about the tragic experience that didn't even exist in the animal capture shed.

As soon as he arrived at the motion capture studio, Fuyukawa Che saw Kawaguchi, the head of the combat planning department, standing next to the computer. While watching the motion capture actors wearing black motion capture suits on the stage, he leaned over to his subordinates in front of the computer. After being patted on the shoulder by his colleague, he saw the arrival of Fuyukawa Che.

"Team leader, Director Hanoi! Oh, Yue Zhusang?"

Peipian Peipian ran to Dongchuan Che to say hello, but soon, the chubby Kawaguchi saw Yuezhu Asuka.

They are all old acquaintances from the filming of "I'm Surrounded by Beautiful Women", but the other person is a big beauty, and Kawaguchi, who has been single for more than 30 years, is still a little shy.

"You kid, can you be of some use?"

Fuyukawa Che rolled his eyes at this guy who was shy when seeing beautiful women, and then looked sideways at the stage, "How is the production progress of your department today?"

"Well, it's not going well. The skill of Xianfeng Kick requires Wia, and it's a kick. It will take some time for Oshima-san to get used to it."

The progress is not going well. If you report this to the leader, it will naturally lower your status in the leader's heart. After saying this, a look of shame appeared on the face of the boy Kawaguchi, but Fuyukawa Che's eyes showed a hint of appreciation.

Everyone has their shortcomings and strengths. Kawaguchi's professional ability is not top-notch, but after all, those who can get into NTsoft are top students and have more than ten years of experience in the industry. His professional ability is not top-notch, but it is sufficient. But he has a The advantage that many people don't have is being down-to-earth.

With this kind of subordinate, there won't be many surprises, but you will feel more at ease.

Fuyukawa Che nodded, glanced at his watch, and then looked at the motion capture actor Oshima who was continuing to perform on the stage, "Okay, tell Oshima-san to let him rest for a while, and then take this guy to change into a motion capture suit. .”

"Ah? Yue Zhusang wants to be our motion capture actor?!"

The boy Kawaguchi was excited for a moment, but soon, under the cold eyes of Yuezhu Feiniao, he blushed and was defeated.

However, Fuyukawa Tetsu didn't give him much room to be shy. As soon as Tsukitake Asuka went over to change clothes, he took the tablet from Sayoko and called the on-site technician. When he saw the [Kunoichi Mai Shiranui] message on the tablet After the basic statement, several people present frowned.

Kawaguchi pulled up the chair very awkwardly and let Fuyukawa Che sit down. Then he looked at the tablet and frowned: "Team leader, are you saying that you want to develop this female ninja into a fast, elegant and deadly direction?"

"Ah."

Fuyukawa Che didn't sit on the chair, but pushed the chair to Sayoko.

This scene was seen by many female employees present, and all of them were a little envious. However, Fuyukawa Che didn't pay attention to their looks. He just crossed his arms and looked at Kawaguchi and the technical staff, "Is it very difficult?"

"It's quite big, but it's not difficult to shoot."

Looking at the tablet, Kawaguchi looked a little confused, "The difficulty of shooting mainly depends on whether Yue Zhusang can complete the motion capture. What I am more worried about is the difficulty of the game. Team leader, the battle module of Wolf is already very difficult for players. Well, if we continue to speed up the battle rhythm, will the difficulty be too much for players?"

Yes, the difficulty of Sekiro is already quite high, but the difficulty of [Shiranui Mai Line] that Fuyukawa Teru wants to make is even more difficult than [Wolf Line]!
  The reason is mainly because he wants to set [Mai Shiranui] to be a character with high mobility, higher attack and lower defense than Wolf, and he also needs to incorporate more elements of breaking moves!

To put it simply, [Mai Shiranui]’s attack speed will be faster than that of Wolf, but the posture bar will be less, and it will be easier for the boss to break the defense. This will force players to increase their desire to attack and seek a faster end. fighting!

This mechanism is actually not uncommon. Not to mention single-player games, many raid bosses in World of Warcraft have [rage timer], that is, if the boss cannot be killed within the limited time, all aspects of the boss's attributes will be strengthened after the boss goes berserk, and even the blue bar of the healing profession in World of Warcraft It also plays this role.

Not only do we need to allow players to defeat the Boss, we also need to create more unfavorable conditions for players to defeat the Boss, giving players a greater sense of urgency!

Of course, too high a difficulty level will also cause players to curse, but
  "When Sekiro first came out, there were many Souls fans who felt that Sekiro was lower in difficulty than Dark Souls. This [Shiranui Mai Line] can just meet their needs, and it has a reset version of the original work. Combined with [Shiranui Mai Line] 】Set it to [Wolf Line] and it will not appear on the game interface until two hours later, so the problem won’t be big.”

Shiranui Mai Line is equivalent to increasing the quantity without increasing the price, and it does not force players to pass the level. It is a game that can be played if they want. Fuyukawa Cheru does not think that this added line will affect the reputation of the game.

Thinking of this, facing the questions from Kawaguchi and others, Fuyukawa Che waved his hand: "I know what I know, you just have to follow this."

"Ok, I see."

Seeing what Fuyukawa Tetsu had said, the technicians and Kawaguchi present did not ask any more questions and directly began to discuss the shooting plan for this mode. When they saw this scene, Sayoko was drinking tea and watching someone process motion capture animations. There was also a hint of smile in his eyes, and he looked at Fuyukawa Che with more and more admiration.

This is what fame does!

If Tetsu Fuyukawa had not produced two online hits with a sales volume of five million before, even if these technicians did not refute in person at this time, they would definitely be muttering in their hearts. Once people start to doubt something, work efficiency will start to decline. decline!
  And obviously, no one here dared to doubt Fuyukawa Che's game production ability!
