Chapter 1152: Painting Style
The proposal of the trilogy, Sun Peng agreed after a little consideration.
"I have one request, though!"
Looking at the two core characters of Lao Bai's studio, Sun Peng said seriously: "Since you think that the plot of a set of books is enough to support a game, and it can be made in three years, then I hope you can do it well...... I don't think about the cost of production, and I don't want to think about whether the game will be profitable in the future, so no matter how many artists you need, how many programmers, or how much money you need to outsource companies, it doesn't matter, reasonable needs can be met, but ...... Get it right! β
ββ¦β¦ Of course! β
After a moment of silence, Chen Maolin nodded solemnly.
As a gamer, who wouldn't want to make a good game? It's just that there are too many constraints in reality, and the most important one is the issue of development costs - companies that are willing to spend money regardless of the cost are really too few and too few.
Before returning to China, Chen Maolin's job was not because of the cost of the new game for a long time?
Now that he finally met a heroic boss like Lao Bai, and he respected the opinions of these professionals so much, Chen Maolin couldn't help but be arrogant, and simply gritted his teeth and said: "Boss, since that's the case...... So do you want to do "Old White Heroes Turn 1" and develop a game engine for our martial arts games at the same time? β
It's not that there is no engine on the market that can meet the requirements of "The Old White Heroes", after all, the first part must be used by someone else, and the time can't keep up if you develop it yourself. However, in order to completely satisfy Chen Maolin's ...... for "Old White Heroes" Or the last two parts of the trilogy, at least the requirements of the third part, it is really necessary to make one yourself.
And......
Making a game engine by himself has always been Chen Maolin's dream.
It's just that hearing Chen Maolin say this, Sun Peng was suddenly stunned again: "Game engine? Aren't we going to do it ourselves? β
ββ¦β¦β
Looking at Sun Peng's dazed look, Er Chen looked at each other, and at the same time rolled his eyes helplessly.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Through today's contact, Chen Fengzhi finally understood whether Lao Bai, who planned and produced "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and was famous in the game industry, was a real gamer, so after coughing twice, Chen Fengzhi smiled bitterly: "Developing a game engine by ourselves is of course not in our original plan, after all, it takes a lot of investment to make an excellent engine, and it also takes a long time......
"Ahem, okay, I get it again."
Sun Peng's face turned red, and he quickly nodded and said, "No problem, absolutely no problem!" You can do whatever you want, and if you need people, you can recruit them! It takes five years for someone else to develop an engine, so let's double or triple the manpower, and the time will be shortened. The game is the same, if there is a shortage of people, you will spend money to dig it, or you will outsource it...... It doesn't matter if anything else, as long as the quality can be guaranteed! β
"Okay, that's fine."
The boss's atmosphere Chen Maolin and Chen Fengzhi breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, so Chen Maolin couldn't help but sigh: "Okay, until now I have to admit that maybe this time I will resign and return to China and join Lao Bai Studio, it will be the most correct decision in my life...... To be honest, I've never met a boss like you, and almost never thinks about the pay-to-benefit ratio - this is a real game engine! β
Raising his eyebrows, Sun Peng asked with a smile: "In other words, it's difficult?" β
"Yes, it's hard!"
Nodding, Chen Fengzhi said: "In fact, if you want to redesign a game engine, you need not only the best team, but also a large number of talents; At the same time, there is also enough time for them to try and make mistakes, to improve and improve...... So in any case, it is impossible for "Old White Heroes to Turn 1" to use our own engine, and maybe the second part will be a little difficult! β
"What about the third part? May I? β
"Of course you can, no problem!"
Facing Sun Peng's question, Chen Fengzhi nodded and said: "In fact, this is what we plan to do, not only to provide a game engine for "Old White Heroes Turn 3", but also to provide ...... for more martial arts games in the future If you think about it this way, in fact, this engine will also be profitable in the future. β
"Haha, this is true!"
Hearing Chen Fengzhi say this, Sun Peng was immediately happy.
However, he was more concerned about another thing than the problem of the game engine, so after casually ending this topic, Sun Peng asked seriously: "Both, I have one last request...... No, it should be said that it is a request! β
ββ¦β¦ You say! β
Glancing at each other in surprise, it was the first time for Er Chen to see Sun Peng so solemn, and he hurriedly listened to him.
"The graphics style of our game must be realistic!"
Taking a deep breath, Sun Peng said solemnly: "Two bosses, don't use that cartoon style, especially all kinds of Internet celebrity faces, absolutely don't use it!" You can spend as much money as you want on the art, in short, try to reflect the romance and chic of martial arts in realism, rather than using romance and chic as an excuse to make everything so flashy......"
β¦β¦
"Tsk, I always feel like it's getting bigger and bigger?"
After coming out of the building where the studio was located and getting into the car that had been waiting for him, Sun Peng suddenly gradually came back to his senses. I just wanted to make a good game, but all of a sudden it became a trilogy, and then there was a plan for the production of a game engine?
However, my original idea was really naΓ―ve!
In addition to those short stories, Lao Jin's ones do have the strength to support an RPG game, and at most they can add some side plots. It doesn't matter, Sun Peng still has a lot of martial arts in his head, if it really doesn't work, isn't there still a lot of networks on the earth waiting for him to pamper?
It's not too simple to find some classic story bridges, and then engage in some famous and domineering internal skills, light skills, and even panaceas and the like.
So from this point of view, there is nothing wrong with Er Chen's suggestion.
And Lao Bai Studio is not one of the game studios on the planet that China does not dare to spend a lot of money, as long as the money is enough, there are countless industry elites willing to join, and the speed of making games should be much faster, and it should not be a big problem to come up with "Lao Bai Qun Heroes Turn 1" in three years.
In this way, it also avoids the situation that the game production cycle is too long, and fans lose patience when waiting.
And......
"Realistic style! It must be realistic! β
Thinking of the painting style of today's beautiful art director, Sun Peng couldn't help but be a little worried. He wants a realistic style of martial arts game so much, if he spends so much money, and loses so many classic martial arts books by the way, and in the end, "Lao Bai Studio" is still the kind of "goblin" painting style on the earth, then I really can't find a place to cry......
