Chapter 254: Great ideal (free for tomorrow)

   Friendly reminder, there will be no exemption tomorrow, everyone who is fattening can start butcher

  ————————

   This is a torture from the soul, and it is also a sharp blade to the heart. Yang Jiangang was hit by a single blow, and he did not speak for a long time.

Zhao Jie and Yang Jiangang are definitely two weird things. Once they met on a blind date website to find a girlfriend. Who could find it first during the match. Later, Zhao Jie found a page bug, and Yang Jiangang gave the website a dozen suggestions on usability. , Moved the blind date website to send him a pennant.

   Chu Yuanxi smiled strangely and pointed to the blackboard: "Let's talk about it, how are you going to counterattack?"

"I want to make cartoons. No, I should say that. I think of a very low-cost way to make cartoons." Yang Jiangang sat down again and said, "The game that Pengfei played before, "Youth World", you still Remember?"

   "You mean..." Chu Yuanxi came to understand a little bit, "You mean to do copycat animation in that way?"

  Juvenile World is Yang Jiangang’s first mobile game after arriving at Pengfei Technology, and he personally caught the entire plot with the master planner. Although Chu Yuanxi did not bring this project, he still understands a little bit.

   There are two kinds of plots in general mobile games. The simple plan is to configure some dialogues and carry out left and right rotations; the complex ones are performed by the cooperation of programs and art, presenting a relatively strong audio-visual effect. For example, the art makes a good script, including the movement of characters and objects, including the sliding of the camera, etc., and the program is assembled; or the program directly writes the performance process required by the plot in the code, and the art makes some special actions to complete the plot performance.

This is not the case with "Youth World". Yang Jiangang first came to prepare to flex his muscles and asked the programmer of the project team to make a set of editors for him. Yang Jiangang proposed a set of plot mechanism and program to achieve, and then the planning can be done by writing a table. Way to make up the plot. Of course, special art resources still need art to be produced, such as changes in the expressions of characters and so on.

  This plan makes the layout of the plot extremely flexible, which can be adjusted at any time, and it will not take up too much resources when it is finally packaged.

It's just that this method will appear to be a copycat in the process of presenting a complex dynamic plot. For example, in the plot, two immortals each ride on a flying mount to flee and chase, and the chaser will continue to send waves and fight forward. It is difficult to be lifelike.

   In fact, it is not impossible, but to achieve the level of cartoons, a lot of work must be done in the program and art, and more complicated and delicate mechanisms and actions are provided to realize this kind of plot. This is inevitable, otherwise why is the production cost of cartoons so high? All are reflected in this workload. However, for the game, the cost of this work is extremely low. The entire game will basically only be used once, and the cost will not be less.

   Therefore, "cottage style" is a very dazzling label in the story of this game, and the final reputation of the players is not bad.

   However, it is an indisputable fact that the cost has been greatly reduced. The program can meet the needs of the plot with one month's workload and a little cooperation of art, and the main consumption is planning time. Yang Jiangang has spent a lot of time on this as the planner is the screenwriter, the director, and the mirror.

   So what if it is made according to the normal process? Basically, the cost of making animations is about the same, and the high cost of animations is unbearable for game developers. Needless to say, the sky-high price of g animations, even normal animations cost about 50,000 yuan per minute. Because of the low cost performance, the price of making plot animations for games is much more expensive.

Chu Yuanxi quickly passed the "Youth World" in his mind, and only listened to Yang Jiangang said: "My ideal is to extend this plot mechanism to produce cartoons. Then build an animation production platform. , So that everyone can make animation in this way. Let all people who have ideas and talents like me but who have no way to achieve have the opportunity to make their own animations and realize their own value!"

"Your great ideal is too far from reality?" Chu Yuanxi felt it necessary to say, "Don't say anything else, you can play this mechanism because you are a game planner, and you are used to watching watches. I've written the form, and who is the normal person playing that set? I can't do it."

Chu Yuanxi gradually recalled how Yang Jiangang introduced this mechanism to his colleagues at the company. That mechanism requires a complete set of tables to implement, such as action tables, special effects tables, dialogue tables, and finally You need to make them all enumerated values ​​and write them into the general table so that they can be organized into a complete plot performance.

   Normal people are already scratching their heads when looking at a watch, and playing this will make them crazy.

   "Dia has nothing, I want to counterattack, how can I not put in a little effort? Isn't it possible to lie down without a noble lineage?" Yang Jiangang said disdainfully, "How? Do you support it or not?"

"Have you ever thought about how to solve the art resources? This is not achievable." Chu Yuanxi shied away. "For example, if a person wants to make a certain animation, he has a script, but he doesn't have all the art resources. Could he give him a complete set of new works? What is the cost?"

"No, no, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, your logic is the opposite." Yang Jiangang knows what Chu Yuanxi thinks: "It's not the creator who applies, then the platform produces the art resources, and then the creator will do it. This kind of process will definitely not work, it can only serve a few people."

   Normal people would think this way. It's like a director who wants to make a movie and finds a film company with a script. The company decides to shoot if it feels good, allocates the budget to find an actor code, and organizes a supporting team to start up after saving a plate.

   I only heard Yang Jiangang say: "The platform I want to do is to first collect a wave of basic art resources, and then let grassroots producers learn this set of mechanisms, and then use the resources available in the library.

Do you understand? If you must need a few art resources that can greatly improve the quality of animation but Curry does not, then you can ask how to solve it. "

"This..." Chu Yuanxi lost her voice, because this brain hole was too big, so she said after a long while: "Even basic art resources need a huge library? You mean, I need my support. , Make a batch of such art resources? Have you made a budget?"

"I've done it. The main budget is engine costs. Art resources don't cost much." Yang Jiangang smiled slyly and said: "There are so many corpses in the game market, and there are more than 20,000 corpses in a game team of 20,000. , It’s full of scrap art resources, how wasteful is this? Just take dozens of corpses and make up for it, can they all be used?"

   Chu Yuanxi's mouth opened wide, and he said in his heart that you still think the copycat style is not thorough enough, right?
