The game has started, there are absolutely no bugs this time

Chapter 159: All the wise men have arrived, and the court is full of righteousness

"These are the styles I've decided on right now. You can add some later and review them for me. If there are no problems, try to make as many sets as possible. It would be great if the monsters can be distinguished."

In the conference room, Gu Meng said a lot and drank a cup of cappuccino.

He has already put forward a bunch of incredible demands, which can probably only be accepted by the big guys who have been collectively developed by Gu Meng and You Xuan.

Because his brain power has been greatly improved, Gu Meng can recall anything he glanced at in his previous life when he needs it.

And although he may not necessarily have a high level of artistic skills, for him now, just having the hands to reproduce is enough.

Gu Meng has basically produced the good-looking shadow god pictures, cutscene pictures, concept draft setting collection, etc. from his previous life's Black Myth.

If it's just the PC version, you can actually try to make a game by spending a lot of money on the existing materials to fully upgrade to the top technical performance of the parallel world.

But the PC side is secondary after all. Now the other employees of Youxuan have a general understanding of it and also need to provide relevant materials.

In fact, copywriting accounts for a very small proportion in the system evaluation of game completeness and participation, and it is a part that is better than nothing. Brother Tongzi is best at adapting and rewriting materials and directions that already have a certain level.

Gu Meng decided to use as much optimization ratio as possible on technology, so as not to give it all to Brother Tongzi to supplement based on the knowledge he already had in his previous life.

The copywriting team has many old members who stayed from the Maodou era, as well as some talented members who were added later, and they are quite capable.

During the Maodou period, this screenwriting department was also one of the aces. A movie game is also a movie, and the script is the foundation of a play.

For other normal games, copywriting is also very important, and the effect of adding or deducting points is obvious.

The person in charge, Li Yan (mentioned in the previous article), is also an old employee from many years ago. He is in his forties and has always been the deputy of Meng Juju, a relative of Meng Juju, during the Maodou period. His actual screenwriting talent is also better than Meng Juju.

Gu Meng vigorously developed it and gave it a second spring, upgrading it from a half-step gold-plated card to an acquired SR.

I do have the ability, but it doesn’t matter if I really can’t do it. I can just pass it to Brother Tongzi when the time comes.

Compared to this part, the art group is undoubtedly more important because this part accounts for a higher score for Brother Tongzi.

It would be too disadvantageous to outsource this part. Now, when making bosses in mid-level stealth games, in addition to converting original paintings into models, we also have to adjust the immersion. We try to do more where human power can do it.

The current head of the art team is Xizhao. He is a young man with a rare surname and a rather gloomy appearance, but he is actually not a bad person.

A member of the second phase of Youxuan, he did not have a very outstanding resume before joining Youxuan, and mostly did some part-time outsourced work.

It was unrealistic to expect him to have a good resume after graduating at this age. After joining Youxuan, he was able to get promoted because of his outstanding abilities and excellent performance in multiple games.

He was promoted very quickly, but Gu Meng had almost finished the executive team from the Maodou period. If we count from the Youxuan period, Xizhao, who was a member of the second phase of Youxuan, is relatively senior.

Xiaozhi, who is at the same level as him, is now at the director level.

Gu Meng has a good eye for discernment and can tell who is strong and who is weak at a glance. Xizhao's innate quality value in art is roughly similar to Huanshou's, very close to SR. After all, this nrsr judgment was not given by Brother Tongzi, but was customized by Gu Meng as a joke.

And the direction is different, it's just a feeling.

However, Huanshou has a noble programming attribute, and his rarity is still higher.

To be honest, art can still be outsourced, but the members who worked on the stealth game were almost all developed by Gu Meng himself, and they are difficult to replace.

In fact, in reality, the only SSR genius that Gu Meng has been directly shocked by is Xiaozhi. Subaru and Momoka are his dream ministers. It is suspected that it will be difficult to encounter a wild SSR in the future.

Among the normal talents in the world today, SRs are very rare. A composite innate SR like Lupa, who has multiple abilities and potentials at a high level and can easily lead a team anywhere, is hard to come by. Most R cards are already rare characters with great development value.

After Xizhao sorted out Gu Meng's requirements, he decided to give it a try first. He was actually better at character and costume design, and was more comfortable with making gods. Monsters or even evil monsters were not his forte.

However, there are also a large number of professionals in the team who are good at this.

After all, You Xuan’s first entry-level stealth game was Liao Zhai, which contained all kinds of monsters and ghosts.

The system in that game was not very involved other than technology, and the art team had some experience with strange monsters.

During the time when Gu Meng was away, Xiaozhi led the team to create a stealth version of Daoweiyixian that even Gu Meng admired. Although it was not particularly large, a lot of content was deleted, and the main strength was that the level design overlapped the two realms. It was a reflection of Xiaozhi's talent in stealth level design after experiencing modern Liao Zhai and Captain Huaguo.

But it's really well done. At least the monsters are decent. The art team is very talented.

Including the new employees, there are also dark-style painters who came here because of his reputation. Xiaocai, who entered the company with Momoka but did not receive much attention, is also a painter of the weird side of the evil god.

Gu Meng intends to recruit people, and if it is used today, it can be said that all the wise men and upright people have gathered and the court is full of them.

After being developed by Gu Meng for a certain period of time, the golden light turned black at a glance, and Gu Mengchao liked to return to You Xuan.

There are only a few people like Xizhao who are good at drawing normal people.

Furthermore, because this world was clearly a parallel universe, many things matched up. Gu Meng had actually wondered if there was also a Yang Qi in that parallel universe, but after searching, he found no such person. There were no artists with similar names, experiences, or styles.

After thinking about it, about half of the games in the parallel world disappeared, and among the existing games, most of the corresponding designers and production teams have also changed. Sony and Nintendo have been hybridized into a strange appearance.

Most of the game players from the previous life cannot be found. It is already a lot if one-fifth of the game players can obviously match those from the previous life. It is normal that Yang Qi cannot be found.

Feng Ji was not found either, otherwise he would have recruited Xiao Feng into the company and let him live in his shadow like Xiao Zhou in Charlotte's World (fog).

Hehehe, I felt like that would be really interesting, what a shame.

……

You Xuan's big move cannot be hidden from outsiders. Now all projects are prioritized at the back, and the updates of the girl band project, which is not very compatible with the project, have stagnated. After all, their boss Subaru and the corresponding programmer are working on Black Myth.

There is also coordination with relevant departments under the leadership of Wu Mengyou, and certain non-core parts are taken over by outsourced teams. This kind of big move feels unprecedented for Youxuan.

In the past, they could solve most problems internally. This was indeed an extraordinary project. One could feel that You Xuan was going all out and mobilizing various resources. The entire Chinese gaming circle was stirred up by Gu Meng.

Moreover, the restriction that Youxuan did not welcome domestic teams to learn stealth techniques, which had been criticized before, has been quietly lifted. They can now make some small-scale stealth games and put them on the shelves together with the release of Youxuan 2.

Those who don’t know the situation think that Gu Meng has a change of heart and lifted the technology monopoly, but those who know the situation realize that Gu Meng has secretly dug a hole for foreign countries.

A new generation of incompatible technology has emerged. What should they do with their half-finished masterpiece? This is not an upgrade from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5.

After playing intermediate stealth games with Youxuan 2, players who are used to "ultra-clear" will go back to play "standard-definition" entry-level stealth games with Youxuan 1 or even inferior alternatives.

Gu Meng took into consideration that it was unknown when the ideal advanced infiltration technology that could allow complete immersion would be realized, and he also had to consider that the basic industrial strength of the parallel world, which was slightly more advanced than that of the previous life, had temporarily reached its limit.

Today's intermediate infiltration techniques will probably be used for a long time, unlike the previous basic infiltration techniques which had little learning value.

In the future, other manufacturers will also start making games on the stealth side. I hope we can play more good games.

However, for stealth games like Black Myth that involve players directly engaging in extraordinary combat, I'm afraid that few people will be able to make them in the next five years, or they will only be able to make games with very low immersion. Even Gu Meng has a hard time using cheats.

They may have to think of another direction or reduce the degree of freedom, and the game types are not limited to high-intensity extraordinary battles.

The parallel world now has a new grading system, the player age verification is complete, and Youxuan's helmet is still tied to the identity verification brain wave.

If they use this technology to play edge games, there will definitely be great potential.

……

"Can it be done?"

Donghua City, Peak Game.

Wang Feng asked his son.

Now, thanks to the success of the mobile game they collaborated on in the past few years, Wang Jian has been promoted from a useless son to a great son.

After a moment's silence, Wang Jian said:

"I asked Ms. An (Xiao Mao's last name is An), and she said the technique is very simple. It's just that You Xuan has always been quite restrained. Even in Liao Zhai, he kept it under control to a certain extent. In fact, it's completely possible if you want to do it..."

After Wang Jian finished speaking, Wang Feng didn't even think about it.

"Then do it! You Xuan is very proud of his reputation and is no longer the same old edamame. I guess Little Gu... Dragon King was forced by Old Gu to go into the sea to shoot those things. But our Jianfeng is still the same as before, without any change. Go ahead and do it."

"Okay, now I'll go look for it..."

It seemed that Wang Jian was forced by his father, and he looked helpless, half-hearted and reluctant.

Actually, in my heart: I want to play too, I want to play, but I’m embarrassed to say it, so I still have to give it a try. I want to make a stealth game with a lot of shoes and a lot of freedom of tongue!
Haochi! Love to eat!
"We'll come up with a cooperative plan, splitting the revenue with Dragon King 30% and 70% respectively. We'll try to catch up when Youxuan II launches. Boss Gu and his team are so busy right now, I guess we won't be able to ask for too much assistance..."

"What if I can't catch up?"

"Then release the EA version."

"Nowadays, domestically produced EA, in fact, the reputation of EA both at home and abroad is not very good." Wang Jian was a little worried.

"Don't be afraid," Wang Feng said, waving his hand. "People are very tolerant of games like ours. A company like us can even squeeze out a 0.01 version and update it. Just don't run away like Magic Mirror did."

"That's true."
