Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

"Mr. Chen, you bought these game manufacturers not to expand our first-party studio lineup, but for the technology of these game manufacturers?"

Inside the office, Ruan Ningxue and the others were stunned.

Including Qin Yi and others next to him were also surprised.

The acquisition of many game manufacturers by Nebula Games, although it did not spread to the outside world, was covered up by the fervor of the "war zone".

But every employee inside Nebula Games is actually quite clear in their hearts.

At first they thought it was to expand the company's production scale.

But now Chen Xu told them that it was only for cutting-edge technologies in different fields.

And these technologies are only used to develop a game?

This really subverts their three views.

"Of course, if we only rely on our own accumulation, how long will it take to achieve such an effect?" Chen Xu said as a matter of course.

Game development, especially the development of 3A masterpieces.

In addition to the creativity of the game and the core elements of gameplay, industrial technology is also very important.

"More cutting-edge technologies need to be developed by ourselves. We need to conquer and develop them in order to win in the future, but can we rely on krypton gold to make up for the general technology?" Chen Xu said with a smile on his face.

Listening to Chen Xu's words, everyone was speechless for a while.

Well, they have almost understood one of Chen Xu's meanings, things that can be solved with money are not things.

No technical accumulation?

One word: buy.

It was this number of krypton gold that made them a little dizzy.

However, after a short recovery, everyone paid more attention to what was revealed before.

"Mr. Chen, do you already have an idea for a new game? What game is it?" Ruan Ningxue asked curiously.

Everyone wants to know a little bit, what kind of game is it. Can let Chen Xu treat him like this.

Looking at the curious crowd, Chen Xu didn't say anything but just smiled, but he didn't answer.

"I won't talk about the new game for now, because we still have a lot of work to do before that,

For example, with the technical staff of various studios, to ensure the use of technology, and in new games, we have to create a larger world, and the art work in it is very important, and we must do it in advance. "Chen Xu looked at the crowd and said.

"Of course, in this process, we can use some tricks, such as allowing players to participate in the development process." Chen Xu said with a smile.

Crowd: ? ? ? ? ? ?

Everyone was full of question marks, not understanding what Chen Xu meant.

"The volume of the new game will be our largest project so far. There will be a relatively long vacuum period in between, and it will also involve a lot of testing."

"So we can make a part of the content into the corresponding VR themed login interface. Others often spend 50 yuan or 60 yuan on the theme. As long as the player spends a certain amount on the Nebula game platform, we will directly give it to the player for free! Of course, it will come along. Players can also help us test it, and this is also a kind of warm-up." Chen Xu coughed twice.

After listening to Chen Xu's words, everyone was instantly speechless.

You mean, free tester?

But people are more curious, it sounds like the new project will be a particularly huge existence.

How huge is that?

However, to everyone's disappointment, after saying this, Chen Xu returned to his office without any explanation at all.

Leaning on the chair in the office, Chen Xu turned on the computer and wrote some simple content.

The game to be developed next is actually a game that Chen Xu has always thought about.

At present, Chen Xu has also communicated with the game department in private about the Universal VR platform.

Judging from the current effect, it is clear that the "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" trilogy has made a very good start.

In the follow-up, major domestic manufacturers also have new plans one after another.

But the zeus platform, although it suffered a slump in "Operation Storm", the overall lineup is still very large.

And in the overseas market, the influence of Huanyu is indeed not as good as that of Zeus.

In addition to this is the development of the Nebula game platform itself.

Although in this part of the country, the Nebula game platform has become the largest platform.

But abroad, it doesn't have much influence.

After acquiring the target software, Nebula Games also began to independently build an overseas game platform.

Next, the overseas strategy for Nebula Games is very simple, which is to compete for users.

"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" has a great influence, but one Call of Duty is obviously not enough, so Chen Xu is also going to put a killer on the follow-up piece.

One of the targets chosen was Red Dead Redemption, or the second generation of Red Dead Redemption.

At this moment, everyone looked at the design concept draft on the big screen in the conference room with excitement.

It reads the name of the latest project they will be working on next:

"Red Dead Redemption"

"Yes, this time your overseas branch will be the backbone of this project."

"Western-themed games. In 1899, the advanced technology and civilization of the eastern cities flowed into the west. The desperados on horseback will bid farewell to their era, and the wild western era will usher in the final twilight."

"The confrontation between barbarism and civilization, the choice between ideal and loyalty, a desperado finally completes his redemption in this era."

"That's our next story."

Chen Xu slowly said in the excited expressions of everyone.

Qin Yi and others were obviously a little excited when they listened to Chen Xu's words.

"Mr. Chen, a mode of the new game, do we make it an FPS thread or...?"

Qin Yi and the employees next to him asked Chen Xu curiously.

Because from the perspective of the attributes of the game, this "Red Dead Redemption" is obviously biased towards this aspect.

After all, western cowboys are always inseparable from revolvers and shotguns.

"No! This will be an open world mode, a cinematic open world." Chen Xu shook his head with a smile and said a word that made everyone a little confused.

Open... an open world?

Seeing the confused look of everyone, Chen Xu smiled.

The open world mode of the previous life, strictly speaking, is three different styles.

One of them is that models like Red Dead Redemption tend to have a cinematic style, and there are a lot of details.

The second is to focus on openness, as well as the mode of map elements and level design, such as the combination of various levels and abilities in the temple of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild".

There is also a setting for attracting anchors, which is matched with the engine effect of various combined elements.

The last word is the open world design like the "Assassin's Creed" series and the Far Cry series.

Mainly to collect elements.

Equipment, side quests, and rich collection elements are also a mainstream open world design mode.
