Build a game empire from scratch

Lin You, Xiao Meng and intern Xiao Xia came to the Pacific Rim project team together.

Their entry point is one of the most pivotal scenes in the movie—

Hunter Base: [Broken Dome].

Deducting the time for team reorganization and watching movies, their working days are only 5 days. Of course, it is impossible to fully build this base, especially when there are still many gameplays that have not been determined.

But all the scenes that have appeared in the film have been perfectly reproduced, and even some optimizations have been made.

Lin You turned his head to look at the huge [monster clock] above the entrance and exit, then turned around and looked up at the several behemoths in front of him:

With a height of 76 meters and a weight of 1722 tons, one of the strongest fourth-generation mechas - [Crimson Storm]!

With a height of 85 meters and a weight of 2412 tons, it is the oldest and heaviest generation of mecha—[Cherno Alpha]!

With a height of 76 meters and a weight of 1850 tons, the first and last fifth-generation mecha—[Eureka Raider]!

And a height of 79 meters, a weight of 1980 tons, three generations of mechs, and the protagonist's car - [Dangerous Wanderer]!

Lin You immediately intuitively felt how hard the development team worked these days.

Standing in front of the four big guys, one can immediately feel the heavy oppression, which is the power essence of human civilization - heavy industry, the intuitive, thick, pure and incomparable power conveyed by anthropomorphic !

Steel is his body, machinery is his bones, and energy is his blood!

Standing in front of them, the sense of insignificance of one's own flesh and blood and the pride of human creativity are intertwined, and the impact is so powerful that it is hard to describe.

Lin You then took the two little girls, first walked around the base carefully, checked everyone's work results, and then came to the main control room to hold a meeting with the main planning team.

All the employees of the project team will be present, but in order to ensure efficiency, most of them are on-site auditors, and the main planning team is the one who mainly reports the results and participates in the discussion.

In the past few days of work, Yu Gu has quickly gained everyone's trust and has become one of the key cores of the team.

The report to Lin You started from him.

The first question, without any surprises, is about the main plot line——

Boss, the film you made adopts the method of advancing the narrative in two lines and then converging at the end. This is of course great as a movie, but it must be modified when used in the production of this game.

Otherwise, the player, as the protagonist, only has a perspective of [fighting monsters], and almost knows nothing about the part of the scholar [searching for the truth]. This will be very lacking in the plot experience.

In addition, the simultaneous advancement of the two lines will also lead to a too tight plot rhythm, and players will have no time to explore, which is not conducive to the development of other gameplay.

Lin You was not surprised by these problems.

Pacific Rim is only two hours at a time, the pace is extremely fast, and the protagonist is only one of the perspectives.

This is fine in movies, but in games, the protagonist, as the absolute core, must have the right to intervene in as many perspectives as possible.

The more perspectives involved and the more things (tasks) involved, the richer the player's game experience will be and the more fun it will be.

So, what do you think? Lin You asked.

Appropriately adjust the time nodes of the plot development, so that the two narrative lines are staggered in time, so that players can participate more easily.

The answer Yu Gu gave was simple, but Lin You nodded in approval.

Because he also hopes that players can experience the game from more angles, for example - try to escape from the invasion of big monsters with the body of ants!

Exciting just thinking about it!

Moreover, with the comparison of the sense of powerlessness of smallness versus grandness, it is possible to have a deeper understanding of the amazing destructive power of monsters. When driving a mecha, one can also experience the thrill of controlling power more deeply.

The key lies in whether the rationality and smoothness of the plot can be guaranteed after the time node is adjusted.

What about the specific plot points? He continued to ask.

Here. From the developer tool, Yu Gu called up the timeline and plot node arrangements sorted out by the team, and passed a copy to Lin You, Xiao Meng and intern Xiao Xia.

——When Animal Party was launched, the gossip caused by the suffix for summer in the company has not disappeared. The office romance between the boss and this special intern has always been gossip in various small groups Yu Gu is also aware of the hot spots, and of course he will not ignore the future proprietress.

However, when Zhu Cixia opened this document, she suddenly found several small groups flickering frantically, all of them @her.

She opened a small group strangely, and then saw a bunch of outrageous news——

@Xiao Xia, it's broken! The boss brought another woman to the company!

It's not good, it's in his own office, and he hasn't come out for almost an hour!

It's worse than this! That woman in the mask looks like a princess!

What's wrong with the princess? Although I'm her fan, I'm on your side in this wave! /Crying/crying/crying

...

Of course, many people in the company group asked her about the gossip that arose during Animal Party.

But the little princess didn't want to lie, and she was too embarrassed to openly talk about her relationship problems, so no matter how everyone asked, she kept silent.

Not only did she keep silent, some bold people asked Lin You, but Lin You also kept silent.

If both parties remain silent, in everyone's opinion, it is tantamount to acquiescing!

There was a lot of blessing and envy in each small group. Although the little princess did not speak while diving, she was very happy in private.

Everyone found out that they have said that, and if they don't stand up and refute it, it is a complete hammer.

But just today, several girls in the administrative department suddenly saw Zhu Cixia walking into the company and office with Lin You in a chemical protective suit, and never came out again!

A group of people were all stunned.

While they were amazed by the relationship between the boss and the princess, they wondered if the boss was stepping on two boats. In the end, they were still struggling to tell Xiao Xia about it.

——No one doubts whether the princess and Xiaoxia are the same person.

After all, they are no strangers to Xiaoxia, they have been in contact with the virtual world many times, and it is hard for them to imagine that the dignified princess will work in the company every day as a worker.

In the end Zhu Cixia still received these reminders.

This made her a little dumbfounded, and simply replied: I know, it's okay. Then she focused on the plan given by Yu Gu.

But her answer made the group explode even more!

What do you mean 'I know, it's okay'?

Know that the boss is on two boats?

Does 'nothing' mean tolerable?

How unreasonable! Is the boss so human-faced and animal-hearted?

...

In the distant Pokemon project team, Xiaochun almost laughed when he saw the bizarre topics in the group.
