Game production: I created Mihoyo

More than ten days have passed since the VGA awards ceremony, and it is already the beginning of January.

Mihoyo has finally completed its expansion, and the number of people has reached 400, and the four-story office building is just right.

Among them, the animation production department alone occupies 50 people. Many people can't understand why there are so many animation personnel. Xu Shuo just smiled and said nothing.

At this time, the animation department is working overtime to produce an animation and a CG.

They belong to two games of Mihoyo respectively.

The animation styles are different and the expression methods are also different. The only thing in common is that the design drafts of these two were given by Xu Shuo.

In their spare time, several people from the two project teams are chatting.

"Oh shit, is there anything that Dashuo doesn't know? This is too outrageous. The storyboards, lines, and even the specific timeline are clearly marked."One person showed a surprised expression.

The other person looked around carefully and whispered when he saw that no one noticed them.

"What the hell, I heard that some people in the music department doubt their lives every day, saying that Dashuo is obviously tone-deaf, but he actually took out Redstone Music and asked them to follow it, and those songs are all original and very good."

"Oh, you don't know how outrageous the planning department is. I heard that the copywriting, system, numerical values, and combat performance of"Honkai Academy 2" were all done by Da Shuo alone. Later, Da Shuo left an update plan, which even clearly wrote what was updated in each version."

"Damn, this is so scary"

"I suspect that Dashuo is not a human, but a humanoid computer."

"This move is wrong, Kiana's legs should be straightened!"

"Her thing here has to shake, it's too fake to be motionless."

At this time, Xu Shuo was promoting the work of the"Honkai Impact 3" project team, guiding them to make character movements.

This was a piece of cake for him with a memory bank. If he could do these movements, he would have wanted to use his body to demonstrate to them what a Valkyrie is.

In the afternoon, Xu Shuo pulled several heads of the development team into the conference room.

As soon as everyone sat down, the new front-end developer Lao Wang asked,"Brother Shuo, is"Honkai Impact 3" a little too demanding?"

They hadn't discovered it before, but now that they have officially started production, they have discovered that"Honkai Impact 3" is much more complicated than its predecessor"Honkai Academy 2" in terms of graphics, movements and gameplay.

Just taking the characters and scenes as an example, 2D has become 3D, and the character movements have also changed from simple arm waving to various different striking movements.

And these movements must not only be smooth and silky, but also have a sense of hitting the flesh.

If he didn't know that this was a game developed for mobile phones, he would even think it was a requirement for PC games!

Xu Shuo nodded.

"It is indeed a bit high, and this is the reason for our success. Are there any games of this level in the mobile market now?"

Old Wang was stunned for a moment:"Really not."

The two most popular games on the mobile market at present,"Honkai Academy 2" and"Minecraft", have swallowed up at least 70% of the cake.

So other manufacturers who want to make money but are too lazy to think about it have followed"Honkai Academy 2" to change the skin.

Some manufacturers who acted faster have made a lot of money by changing the skin of the game. Other manufacturers who were originally on the sidelines saw that they could make money and also came out.

This led to a continuous increase in the number of games of the same type on the market.

Then... they rolled up, and advertisements for giving away 50 or 100 consecutive draws at the beginning emerged one after another.

Xu Shuo continued:"What do you think will happen if we launch"Honkai 3" at this time?"

After hearing this, Lao Wang imagined this scene in his mind.

Competitor A and Competitor B were both promoting their skin-changing games to attract players, and at this time Mihoyo came out with"Honkai Impact 3" which was comparable to the PC game, and beat them in one second.

This feeling was simply wonderful!

He was so excited that his whole body was shaking:"Brother Shuo, I understand, I will work hard."

The other people present also imagined this scene and became excited, with a strong desire to write code in their eyes.

Xu Shuo looked at them with a hungry look, and his whole body was covered with goose bumps.

"By the way, when will our beta version be available?"He almost forgot this important question. The beta version he decided on does not have much content, and is mainly used to test the performance of the game on mobile phones.

The previous life's"Honkai Impact 3" was hailed as a mobile phone killer, and the"5th Relic" was a frame dropper that even computers could not handle.

The performance of mobile phones in this world is generally much stronger than that of the previous life, and the experience should be much better.

Hearing Xu Shuo's question, they began to communicate with each other. Everyone was responsible for different functions, so they had to ask other people's time to determine the final time.

After a while, Lao Wang stood up and replied:"It will take about five months." As soon as he finished speaking, several people present suddenly coughed. Lao Wang glanced at them:"Four months is also fine."

There were fewer coughs, but they were still there.

Lao Wang glanced at them again:"Then three...three months?"

The coughs disappeared completely.

Xu Shuo: ???

He waved his hand quickly:"No, no, do what you can, your health is the most important, you are the pillars of Mihoyo."

Now everyone was trembling with excitement again. What kind of good boss is this?

I will definitely not let him down!

Xu Shuo didn't know what they were thinking. Anyway, they were as excited as chicken blood when they went out.

Next, Xu Shuo called the people from the operation department and the animation department into the conference room.

He discussed with them the operation activities during the Chinese New Year. In addition to increasing activity and recharge, Xu Shuo decided to hold a New Year's Festival on New Year's Eve.

The content of the New Year's Festival is the animation and CG that the animation department is producing.

With them, the players should have a good year.
