Chapter 186 Design Concept Draft (1st Update)
Chen Mo continued: "Of course, I am not a dictator, I can put forward any comments or suggestions about the game, but please be ready to be dismissed by me at any time." ”
"Okay, that's about it, you don't have to be too nervous, my goal is to take everyone to earn money lying down. You will find that joining Thunder Interactive Entertainment is the best decision you have ever made. ”
The new hires reacted in a variety of ways, some were excited, others were calm.
These people have just joined a new company, and it is normal for them to have some suspicions in the face of such a young new boss.
After all, the link of "pouring chicken soup" is indispensable in any company, and the vast majority of new employees who have just joined the company must be poured through.
What does "take everyone to lie down to make money", 99% of it is the boss who is bragging.
Chen Mo continued: "I'm a person who pays more attention to work efficiency, and when I was developing Warcraft before, I basically only worked hard for half a year to make it. Now that our team has expanded, there may be some run-ins and communication issues, but overall, I want us to be more efficient. ”
"Next, it's the first game we're going to develop after the year, and here's the concept draft, let's take a look."
Chen Mo turned on the projector in the conference room, and the title of the concept draft appeared on the screen: "Diablo" design concept draft.
New employees sign a non-compete agreement and a non-disclosure agreement before joining the company, so there is no need to worry about them leaking secrets, and they will not be stupid enough to give up such a good job in exchange for that little immediate benefit.
As Chen Mo expected, most people were a little confused when they saw this name.
For these people, the name "Diablo" is actually a bit weird, because in everyone's understanding, there seems to be no such god in ancient and modern China and abroad.
However, Chen Mo has a reputation after all, and many of the games he makes are of this type with strange names, so no one questioned it.
Chen Mo began to explain to everyone.
Art style.
The core gameplay of the game.
The story is set in the background.
Story chapters.
The player's emotional rhythm is controlled.
Classes and combat system.
Expanded gameplay and networking capabilities.
Equipment system and long-term pursuit.
Chen Mo will definitely not go into detail about these, after all, this is just a concept draft, and the real detailed setting needs to be perfected by assistants.
However, Chen Mo basically told the most essential part of this game, and after explaining the advantages and disadvantages of this game, target players, and profit model, everyone understood the design concept of this game.
Su Jinyu, Zheng Hongxi, and Qian Kun didn't say anything, they were already surprised by this.
Even if the concept of the game looks very quirky right now, once the game is made, it will become a classic that is excellent in every way, and they have seen too many things like this.
However, the new hires are clearly confused.
Chen Mo saw this doubt and said, "If you have any questions, you can raise them now, and I will answer them for you." Especially the main leaders, if you have any questions, you must ask me, don't work with doubts, that will affect your work efficiency. ”
There are actually seven people in charge of this, Su Jinyu is in charge of the game project process, Zheng Hongxi is in charge of plot-related modules, Qian Kun is in charge of values and level structure, Zhou Hanyu is in charge of art quality, Fu Guangnan is in charge of music quality, Zhao Yunting is in charge of game operation and promotion, and Lin Xiao is in charge of salary, bonuses, daily benefits, etc. as an assistant.
Although Lin Xiao is an assistant, he basically does not participate in game development, but is only responsible for the daily operation of the company.
Zhou Hanyu, Fu Guangnan and Zhao Yunting looked at each other.
Zhou Hanyu and Fu Guangnan are both in their thirties, and they are veterans in the industry, with very strong professional skills and rich experience. These two people were carefully selected by Chen Mo and poached from large companies.
Zhao Yunting is a girl who has been in the industry for about three years, but she has a very good resume and has experience in the operation of three successful projects.
Zhou Hanyu asked, "Mr. Chen, I have a question. ”
Chen Mo said: "Don't call Mr. Chen, you can call the store manager or call my name directly in the future." You ask. ”
Zhou Hanyu changed his words: "Store manager, my main doubt lies in the art style. For the art style, the few key words you give are cult, thriller, horror, bleak, and weird. I also have a general understanding of this style, but as far as I know, there are very few people who do this style at home and abroad, and even if there are, they are all niche games in Europe and the United States, and in China, it seems that no game company has ever done this style. ”
"It's a really unique style in terms of unconventionality, and it's also great considering that it fits the theme of the game. However, I think it may be doubtful whether domestic players will accept this style. ”
Chen Mo nodded: "I understand what you mean." Indeed, many game companies will give priority to the tastes of the vast majority of players when making games, and even if there is such a relatively depressing scene, they will try to increase the brightness and saturation of the scene to make players more comfortable. ”
Zhou Hanyu nodded: "That's right." ”
Chen Mo changed his words: "But this is not a game that pleases most players, its idea lies in originality, that is, because there is no game with this art style on the market, there are vacancies, so I want to do it." ”
Zhou Hanyu wondered: "But, can the players accept it?" ”
Chen Mo explained: "What is the most important thing about a game? It is consistent with the inside and the outside. Simply putting aside the subject matter and talking about the art style, it is a hooligan, this game is a single-player adventure, a brush-brush game, creating this depressing atmosphere can allow players to better immerse themselves in the game, as for whether players will recognize ......"
Chen Mo paused: "Then it depends on the quality of the game made." ”
Zhou Hanyu nodded, although he still had doubts, he had a clear understanding of Chen Mo's design intentions, Chen Mo's design idea was: to make a single-player RPG game - brush brush brush as the main gameplay - choose a magical background - use the cult art style.
The art style is the last thing to be finalized, and it is limited by the genre, gameplay, and theme of the game in front of it, so it has to be done that way.
But is it really acceptable for players to do this? Zhou Hanyu still didn't believe it.
Chen Mo looked at Fu Guangnan: "Is there any problem with the music and sound effects?" ”
Fu Guangnan said: "There is no problem. In fact, my question is similar to Hanyu's, I am worried that this music style will scare players away. But since you have a score in mind, store manager, let's do this, and the music sound effects I made will definitely meet the requirements. ”
