Chapter 5 Art Style
Yang Chen really wants to draw what he thinks by himself, but the key is that he can't paint at all, draw a person's sketch, and even if he paints it is not as good as a stickman, this is Yang Chen's painting level.
The art style of the game in the dream memory can be said to be quite ugly and disgusting.
You can say that these are all linked from the style of art, matching the plot, and even combining the gameplay.
But the main core reason is that that style is easier to make, and Yang Chen still has a little judgment on this.
The design of the gameplay, the creative elements, and so on Yang Chen felt that the other party was much higher than himself, but in terms of art elements, Yang Chen felt that the other party was just because of the cost, and there was no way to hire a special artist.
If you look closely, you will find that in the game in your memory, most of the characters and monsters are carved out of the same mold.
And Yang Chen himself is a person who has art outsourcing, so he can make the picture look better and make the characters more cute.
But Yang Chen still decided to follow the style in his memory.
Not for anything else, just for a gimmick.
The games on the market are all cute cute girls, and suddenly a big bird helps her, will you be curious, and then take a look?
It's like boys' and girls' clothes.,From a kind of people's curiosity.,It's clear that there are many girls on the video site who are extremely spicy.,But the number of clicks is still quite high, why?
It's because of the psychology of curiosity.
Regarding the style of the game, Yang Chen didn't plan to do it very disgusting, but took a grotesque and ugly route.
After all, what Yang Chen wants is a gimmick that makes players feel curious, not really disgusting players.
This is also the safest way to do it, as for preserving the original flavor of the game, this still has to be done according to the actual situation.
For example, the style of painting should be more in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese people, and weaken the original storyline.
According to the plot introduction of this game in the dream memory, it is from the content of the Western Bible, but for Chinese players, they don't know what the Bible is.
To change the story, time does not allow, at least to make a good story in such a short time, Yang Chen thinks that his ability cannot do it.
Therefore, weakening the performance of the plot and focusing on the gameplay is the main task.
After discussing for about an hour, Chu Yang, at Yang Chen's request, sketched a two-dimensional figure with a rather joyful feeling, with a head bigger than his body and no nose.
"Yes, it's this style, the style of monsters, to maintain a grotesque style, but also to be a little cute, not disgusting and scary." Yang Chen nodded and looked at the original painting on Chu Yang's computer.
"Is this the style? I understand? ”
Saving the file, Chu Yang stood up: "If we provide a game script, we can create it better." ”
After signing the contract, it is a basic thing to provide the outsourcer with a game script, including the original art.
These things have an accurate image in the mind of the producer, just like the script and storyboard design of a comic.
It is impossible for every character to stay next to the staff in charge of art like Yang Chen is now, and tell him what he needs little by little.
It's okay that there aren't that many things for small productions, but when it comes to big games, especially triple-A levels.
Just the manuscript set in terms of art can definitely be read as a medium-length novel.
When I left 'Dream Chasing' and returned home, it was already about half past five in the evening.
"How's it going?" Looking at Yang Chen, who pushed the door and walked in, Wang Yaliang, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, stood up and asked Yang Chen.
"The strength of the other party is not bad, except for the art aspect, including the program and everything is outsourced to them, but I need to provide them with a script later, so that they can more intuitively determine what kind of style the game is." Yang Chen put the bag on the table, then took out the signed contract and put it in the bookcase in his room.
The entire game is responsible for the production of the general direction, and the rest of the place, including the program, is outsourced.
This sounds pretty unreliable, but it's actually quite normal, and even some big companies often do this kind of thing, outsourcing game projects to other studios, but they have a more professional and better-sounding word for this behavior, and it's called: OEM.
To put it simply, the truth of OEM in reality is almost the same.
As for whether it will be plagiarized, Yang Chen is not worried about this kind of thing at all, because when the time comes, the two parties will go to the game committee to register the relevant information.
This is also to avoid the creative genre, or the plot of the game being outsourced by the company to exchange a tanuki for the prince.
"That's it!" Wang Yaliang suddenly responded.
"Still, I'll find a job tomorrow, because I won't be needed for a long time." Wang Yaliang lay on Yang Chen's body and said with his face against his face.
Before, she was asked to be in charge of the initial personnel and financial parts, but now they are still the commander of the light pole, and the art program of the game is all given to the outsourcing company.
"No, we will expand the scale soon, with the volume of 'chasing dreams', if it goes well, it will take about a week or so, they will be able to complete the demo version, and when the game reaches the beta version, it can be directly sold in advance, and then we will recruit people by ourselves and complete the follow-up update of the game." Yang Chen shook his head and said in detail to Wang Yaliang.
Of course, there is one thing he didn't say, and that is that it is built on the success of the game.
If the game fails, maybe he really doesn't have the talent in the game industry, after all, this is also standing on the shoulders of giants, so he can fail, then I'm afraid he is really not suitable, even if he really likes the game industry.
"I've made money from the game, I'm going to buy a Samoyed, I've always wanted to raise it!" Wang Yaliang said with his chin resting on Yang Chen's shoulder.
"Samoyed doesn't seem to be very smart, does it? And I want to know when we'll be able to eat more than the dog's problem, I'm so hungry! Turning his head, Yang Chen raised his hand and pinched Wang Yaliang's face and asked seriously.
"Uh...... I forgot to do it? When Wang Yaliang heard Yang Chen's words, his head twisted to the side.
So, is it really forgetting to do it, rather than being too lazy to do it?
Yang Chen looked at the girl who didn't look directly at him, and couldn't help but sigh silently: "Forget it, it's better to eat downstairs." ”
