Restart the Gaming Era

When he came to the studio, Zhong Ming sat silently in front of the computer and started typing on the keyboard and writing the design concept draft.

Zhong Ming's mind contained a lot of previous horror games, but they were far from what was to be done this time and could not be used.

There were also games in the past that reflected similar themes, but they were basically based on text-adventure games, such as "The Fence of the Fence", which did not meet the needs of Zhong Ming.

Therefore, what Zhong Ming is going to do this time is actually an original game from scratch.

Horror is not the first element. There may not be zombies or mutants in this game, nor will it scare players like a lot of horror games.

However, as long as the real experience of all the children in it is perfectly reproduced, the game is scary enough.

Zhong Ming wrote very quickly, and he didn't even need a universal searcher. The scenes of the previous life, the scenes in the documentary, and he still remembers them until now.

Group A reception.

Circle.

treatment.

And Professor Yang's unsmiling face.

All of this is not what Zhong Ming deliberately wants to remember, but after reading it once, he can never forget it.

All afternoon, Zhong Ming sat motionless in front of the computer and wrote the basic story line of the game clearly.

Today Jia Jia and Xiao Mu are back to rest, so Zhong Ming plans to talk to you about the production of this new game tomorrow.

Moreover, Zhong Ming himself felt that the story was missing something.

Probably it lacks the kind of immersive realism. After all, Zhong Ming hasn't been in, after all, just through some video materials, I can't understand the kind of despair and fear in children.

It seems that this design draft has to be perfected.

But before that, Zhong Ming had to arrange some other things, such as borrowing a motion capture studio with Yang Chengye.

At present, there is no way to do motion collection on the low light studio side. All the movements in the previous "Zodiac Guardian" are manually adjusted by action art.

But now this game, if you just rely on hand tuning, the workload can not keep up with it, you must use motion and expression capture.

Zhong Ming made a phone call to Yang Chengye and briefly mentioned his own requirements. To make a new game, I would like to borrow the motion capture studio of Zhihuan Technology. Of course, the money is paid, and I hope to give a discount.

Yang Chengye readily agreed, and Zhihuan Technology has not really used this studio recently, and the related equipment is also idle. It does not matter if it is borrowed for a few days.

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Ming thought, "I have to set up a motion capture studio myself as soon as possible, and I should use it frequently in the future."

In terms of game size this time, the content of motion capture is actually not much, but hand-adjusted motion is definitely not possible, because Zhong Ming has to catch up with the progress, the sooner this game goes online, the better.

When you do more large games in the future, you must have your own motion capture studio.

...

Back at home, Zhong Ming talked with Wei Yong for a long time and asked about many deep contents in this institution.

Of course, the rules and names of each similar organization are different, but they are essentially the same. When Zhong Ming made the game, he wouldn't follow all these ready-made things, but would do some reprocessing on the basis of retaining the kernel.

Talking to Wei Yong about this is mainly to bring into the victim's inner world and experience their desperate mood.

After talking, Zhong Ming comforted Wei Yong and asked him to play with his own in the living room, and then went to his bedroom.

Zhong Ming's bracelet also contains powerful sedatives, and briefly passes through the capsule.

A brief transit through the capsule allows him to briefly transit into a dream, and this dream is selected by him as the fictional world in his imagination.

That place is called "Cyber ​​Ring Center".

Zhong Ming also took a powerful calming potion in advance, saving himself from being awakened in a dream. If you were awoken in the middle, you wouldn't see it in the second half.

...

...

Three hours later, Zhong Ming opened her eyes suddenly.

He sat up suddenly from the bed, panting heavily.

Although he had taken potent sedatives, he would not feel horrible, but the scenes in the dream made him feel serious discomfort.

This discomfort is not fear, but an aversion from the bottom of my heart!

"I feel right."

It was already at 11 o'clock in the evening, and Zhong Ming turned over and got out of bed, took her laptop, and started typing on the keyboard to perfect the design drafts she wrote during the day.

Before, many concepts just had a vague concept in my mind, but now, all these concepts have become concrete content, let Zhong Ming feel the same, and then write it, and have a completely different feeling.

Two identities and two staggered storylines were twisted together at this time by Zhong Ming.

There are also many badending and heartbreaking endings, all of which are quickly completed.

Until the early hours of writing, Zhong Ming looked at the final design draft and finally nodded.

"That's it."

...

the next day.

Zhong Ming came to the studio and called everyone in the R & D team to the meeting room for a meeting.

"The game we're going to do next is called ..." The Devil is on Earth. "

"This is ... not a horror game, an interactive movie game, or a word adventure game. Probably ... it can be called a charity game."

These two sentences, as well as the name of the game, make many people look awkward.

Can't even define the type of game? This is too much, right? ?

The boss's operation is really getting harder to understand!

Zhong Ming began to introduce all aspects of the game.

Game story.

Basic settings.

Gameplay details.

Each outcome-oriented and necessary condition ...

After hearing Zhong Ming's account, everyone was stunned.

It does n’t make sense, it makes no sense at all!

Fu Xing'an first raised his hand to ask: "Boss ... this game ... To be honest, I don't have any opinion on the gameplay. The only question is the plot and the infrastructure. Is it a bit too much? I can already imagine After the game was put on the market, the evaluation of the players is estimated that many people will say that this game is nondescript ... "

Zhong Ming nodded: "What do you think should be changed?"

Fu Xing'an thought for a moment: "I think this plot is a little bit away from each other. If it is linked to reality, there must be no such thing in reality. Even if there is, it is probably not as scary as you said, and even if it is done, It ’s probably too bland and does n’t have much gameplay. Or we can make it more scary and surreal. For example, the haunted mysterious organization, the entire scene layout, is also the kind of abandoned buildings that have been sealed for a long time. Angle, it would be better. "

On the other side, Jia Jia could not help but interject: "But this is what really happens in reality."

Fu Xing'an froze: "?????"

Jia Jia sighed and said, "We don't want this to be true, but yesterday I ran a trip to Guanghua with the boss and really found out that these institutions exist. Moreover, all the plot in this game, except for 'because Except for the period of long-term feeding of the drug and the hallucinations, everything else is true, and no moisture is added. Even if I search online now, I can find a lot of similar institutions. "

Fu Xing'an froze, widened his eyes, and didn't know what to say.

Zhong Ming cut the screen, and many online posts, materials, and interviews with reporters were all displayed on the projection screen.

Many of the victims ’stories, although immature in text, are just shocking enough!

This time, Fu Xing'an had nothing to say.

When he saw Zhong Ming's design draft, he instinctively felt that the plot was too ridiculous, somewhere between reality and fantasy. Say it is a fantasy horror game, and it ’s a little bit meaningless. There is no supernatural phenomenon, and the horror effect must be greatly reduced; can it be said to be realistic? Fu Xingan ten thousand unbelievers.

In reality, how could there be such a terrible place?

But now Zhong Ming searched out these materials, and even some interviews with reporters. The descriptions of the victims made him have to believe it.

Zhou Sen also watched aggressively: "No ... it's impossible. If this is the case, these institutions have not been banned or shut down? No one has filed a report with the Department of Public Security?"

Zhong Ming shook her head: "This is the most bizarre place. There must be a lot of children who have tried to find the Public Security Department, but it is useless. It is not the Public Security Department that does nothing, but these parents have signed an agreement with the institution to give the child custody Transferred, that is to say, no matter what these institutions do, it is an act authorized by parents, not to mention that their means are hidden, there is no scar on the child, and it is impossible to convict and ban. Of course, the most important thing is that There is not enough attention on this issue, the hotspots are not high, and there isn't much widespread attention, so they can continue to be free. "

There was a commotion in the conference room!

At first, many people saw this design concept draft and didn't think much about it, thinking it was just a fictional story.

However, it now seems that this is not a fiction at all. All the plots in it seem to have prototypes in reality!

It's just that these news are all buried on the Internet, and have not attracted much attention at all!

Many people now understand why Zhong Ming defines this game as a "public interest game", just like "public interest advertising". Although "Devil in the World" is a game, it is not for profit, but for a special purpose, to expose this event to everyone, let it form a hot topic for everyone to pay attention to and discuss!

"Boss, I ... have different opinions." Wu Mingliang raised his hand.

Zhong Ming nodded: "You said."

"Does this ... make sense?"

Zhong Ming was silent.

Many people may also ask the same questions as Wu Mingliang. Does this make sense?

We are just a game studio with more than 20 employees.

Even if this game is made, it is nothing more than letting many players fill out the same outrage as us. Maybe you are lucky and can get some attention. But many media have done interviews before. Many children go out to report to the Public Security Department. These institutions are still alive and well, so how much can we make this game out of our own pocket?

Zhong Ming looked at the crowd: "What's the name of our studio?"

"Glimmer Studio."

"The reason why it is called Weiguang Studio is because there is a little bit of heat and a little bit of light. When you can do things, you can do things, when you can speak, you can only speak, but you can't keep silent after you know all this, and continue to be independent."

Wu Mingliang bit his lip and nodded.

No one else said anything.

Indeed, it may be that in terms of the influence of the current low-light studio, even if such a game is made, it will not play much of a role.

However, some things always need to be done.

Even a little glow of fire in the dark is better than a black one.

What's more, it is precisely because Weiguang Studio has not yet become a powerful world giant that it makes sense to do these things.

If one day, Weiguang Studio becomes a giant in Ming'an, and it becomes a big taxpayer, Zhong Ming and the mayor often talk about wine and discover this problem, and only one sentence can let millions of players around the world know Will the vocalization at that time be as precious as it is now?

not necessarily.

Since you have already encountered it, you can't keep silent, this is Zhong Ming's attitude.

...

The development progress this time is only two weeks.

Slightly in a hurry, but after estimating the workload, Zhong Ming felt that it should be completed on time.

First of all, the plot content of the game itself is actually not long. For many players, the effective game time is only 3 ~ 4 hours, which is far less than the average regular game time. Secondly, the amount of resources and materials required by the game itself is not large. It is only to rebuild a "network ring center". There are only five or six key characters to play. Violent reception or indifferent "ally".

The movements are all done in the motion capture studio of Zhihuan Technology. Looking for Zhihuan Technology to contact a professional motion capture actor, the progress will be very fast.

However, everyone was a bit surprised that Zhong Ming was almost trivial this time, and all aspects came to him himself!

The original painting of the character.

Architectural model construction of the entire building.

Even the actions of everyone during "treatment" ~ www.readwn.com ~ Zhong Ming gave all the details one by one.

The character's original painting, Zhong Ming came out.

The architectural plan of the building was painted by Zhong Ming.

Even how the protagonist struggled when he was "healed", how Professor Yang "healed" him, how other people held him down ... and so on, Zhong Ming also arranged some details clearly!

Obviously, this is completely different from the working state of Zhong Ming before.

When working on "Guardian of the Zodiac" before, although Zhong Ming gave most of the conceptual design, a lot of content still allowed some free use of art and design. But this time, Zhong Ming was basically a big bag.

Because he knew that apart from himself, probably no second person in the entire studio could know what it looked like.

Only by personally grasping these details can you ensure that the game is absolutely true after it is produced!
