I play games in Zongman World

Today's work has been completed in sevens and eighties, and everyone has relaxed a lot, so they are slowly processing the last bit of work while chatting about the topic of cats.

After 10 minutes, the door of Yichen's office opened, and Yichen walked out happily, drawing everyone's attention.

Yi Chen looked at everyone, smiled and stretched out two fingers and said: "Two days on the weekend plus today's day, the pre-order sales of Persona have increased by nearly 20. By the way, our other two games, also because of the goddess Driven by the record of strange news, sales have increased slightly. Sister Ye Yue, prepare to plan a live broadcast event in October. I will return to China in a few days to deal with the Chinese dubbing there. When I come back, I will talk to you You are connected to this piece of content."

Ye Yueshizuku nodded: "No problem, I will arrange it. By the way, the next live broadcast, Mr. Yichen, do you want to continue?"

"Well~~ this question."

Yi Chen thought for a while and said, "Since I still have to go to school, I won't be appearing in the next two or three live broadcasts. Our side is suitable for hosting, and there are many people who will enliven the atmosphere. If you want to participate, you can do it yourself. Sign up, and then we will choose. The live broadcast work is extra, and the host will have extra overtime wages, if you want it, you have to seize the opportunity!"

After finishing speaking, Yi Chen went to the program team.

In the program group, everyone is busy doing the work at hand, which can be said to be much more busy than outside.Although the framework of the game is roughly set up, they need to handle various internal systems, processes, branches and the like.

At this moment, Haizi is sitting in front of the computer and checking a program that has a problem, while Ming Haiyan, Ying Ningning, and Wugeng Liuli are all together, studying the program that Haizi handed over to them today. new task.

Ying Ningning heard the footsteps at the entrance, turned her head and saw Yi Chen who came in, she was about to say hello when Yi Chen stopped her, and signaled them to keep busy with their own affairs.

Then, Yi Chen pulled the chair and came to Haizi's side and sat down.

At this moment, Haizi finally sensed that someone was coming, took off the earphones and looked at Yi Chen beside him: "Why are you here when you are free? Inspection work?"

"That's right, why, where did the inspection go wrong?"

"Well, something went wrong during the previous test." Haizi nodded and said, "The problems in modeling and textures have been corrected by the art team, but there are also some problems in the program, and they are currently being investigated."

Although Yi Chen came over, it did not slow down Haizi's investigation. He quickly found the problematic code in a configuration file and improved it.

"OK, that's it. After the art side sends the modified file, you can re-test."

Haizi heaved a sigh of relief, picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee.

"Just now I heard that it was very lively outside. Is it because the pre-order sales have increased again?"

"Yes, it has increased by almost 20, and the sales of Hollow Knight and Slaying Spire have also increased a little."

After hearing Yi Chen's words, Haizi also showed a happy smile. Although she only participated in the production of a little new content in the follow-up, Hollow Knight was the game she was mainly responsible for from the beginning, and her feelings were still very deep.

"It's a good thing. This news will definitely give everyone more confidence in the future."

Holding his chin in one hand, Haizi opened another test program, asked Yi Chen to check it out, and said, "Is it true that the game to be developed will continue to be kept secret?"

"kindness?"

Yi Chen raised his tone a bit, glanced at Haizi's side face and said with a smile, "I never thought, Sister Haizi, you are the most curious of all, do you really want to know?"

After finishing speaking, Yi Chen turned his head to look at the other people in the program team, and found that everyone was immersed in their own work, so he hooked his fingers at Hai Zi.

Haizi approached suspiciously, lowered his voice and said, "It's like a joint."

"Secrecy still needs to be done. I don't want everyone to be distracted before Persona is finished." Yi Chen said in a low voice, "Of course, even if you hear it, Sister Haizi, don't you know? Otherwise, I will Just deduct your salary."

"Oh... you still have to deduct your wages?"

Haizi frowned, and after thinking about it, he said, "Okay, I don't believe that a game can let me share... eh? Could it be?!"

After gesturing to Haizi to quickly lower his voice, Yi Chen continued: "At the moment, I'm working on two projects in my spare time. One is an ARPG game in a dark and profound world view. The other is , it is the No.1 shooter game of the future universe worldview. This game has a single-player story mode. There is also an online mode, and of course there will be a multiplayer battle royale mode. I think the second game will be Haizijie You must be very interested, right?"

Chapter 297 Titanfall, apex

As Yi Chen expected, Haizi was not interested in Dark Souls at all, or in contrast to Titanfall and Apex, his interest was not that great.

After talking a little bit about the setting of Titanfall's worldview, Haizi immediately put down the work at hand, and dragged Yi Chen out of the programming team's workshop.

The commotion between the two caused everyone to look at the opened door.

Wu Geng Liuli frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

Ying Ningning nodded thoughtfully: "Well~~~ It shouldn't be a bad thing, don't worry about it, we haven't settled our own affairs yet."

On the other side, Yichen was dragged back to his office by Haizi.

"Oh!"

The door of the office was closed, Yi Chen looked at Haizi who turned to face him, and spread his hands together: "Look, I knew you would be like this, Sister Haizi, so I shouldn't have shown it to you."

Haizi exhaled, calmed down and said, "I'm really excited now, but that doesn't mean I'll stay excited forever. My personal emotional management is pretty good. It's just that my curiosity has been aroused. I just tell you My little world view setting is not enough, tell me a little more, so that I will have more hope for future work."

"En~~~~"

Yi Chen clasped his hands together, and thought for more than ten seconds under Haizi's gaze, before he snapped his fingers, "Come here."

Seeing Yi Chen's movements, Hai Zi walked over to Yi Chen's computer.

Turn on the computer, click on a folder in the hard disk, and then there is a set draft, a soldier wearing a sci-fi individual armor, holding a rifle and wearing a full-coverage helmet, running on the wall, and a side A gigantic humanoid mecha was covering fire.

"this is..."

"The protagonist setting of Titanfall."

After opening another manuscript, Yichen turned the monitor to Haizi, "Miss Haizi, please take a look, this is the worldview setting written by me, and after reading it, if you want to read the plot outline of the single-player campaign, you can also. But I haven't finished it yet, so I just started it, because I have limited time after all."

"I won't watch the plot of the campaign. I mainly want to understand the concept and gameplay of the game you designed first."

After a quick glance at the setting of the world view, Haizi continued to look at the first draft of the setting.

Pointing to the mecha in the picture, Haizi asked, "That's what Titans mean, right?"

"That's right, it has a variety of armor types, a powerful war machine that can adapt to different battle situations, and has a very advanced artificial intelligence. It is matched with the iron pilot who can only serve as a special unit after a lot of screening. After training and equipment, the iron pilot It can perform sliding shovels, sliding walls, and double jumps, and has a series of special abilities that other arms do not have. The most important thing is that the iron pilot is bound to its own Titan. One of the inherent protocols of Titans is What is related to Iron Pilot is to protect Iron Pilot."

After listening to Yi Chen's words, Haizi also roughly understood.

"So, the story of the single-player campaign revolves around the protagonist and the Titan?"

"Yes."

Yi Chen nodded and said, "It's just that as the No.1 shooting game, I don't intend to make the story design too complicated, I just want to make an old-fashioned story where one person and one titan fight against the villain to save the world, the gameplay is the key. For the level design in the single-player campaign, each level must have a different gameplay.”

Then, Yi Chen showed Haizi a few drafts of the settings of other Titan equipment that he had drawn, and talked about the settings and gameplay of the ones that hadn't been drawn yet.

Sister Haizi exhaled, sat on the chair, and kept pressing her temples with both hands.

"You're just a single-player game, so what about multiplayer?"

"If there are many people, two parts."

Yi Chen raised his finger and said, "It will be released together with the single-player campaign mode, which will be a multiplayer PVP mode in the conventional sense, with various maps and different ways to win battles. Of course, you can also summon Titans to fight after meeting certain conditions fight."

"So, what about the other one, the other one is the battle royale mode you mentioned earlier?"

Yi Chen nodded, moved the mouse to a folder named "apex", clicked in, and it was empty.

"In the battle royale mode, players will retain the fighting style of the iron pilot in Titanfall, whether it is sliding shovel or wall sliding, of course there is no double jump. Then there will be no titans, but hero design will be added, and each character will have its own The special skills of the game are divided into active and passive and big moves. Then, the gameplay is a very common type of battle royale. Of course, I plan to sell this battle royale apex separately from Titanfall, and it is free to play type, and then the krypton gold in the game can open boxes to reveal the appearance of various weapons and characters, as well as avatar frames and the like.”

"Separate release, free to play, battle royale..."

Haizi sat on the chair and slowly turned around, muttering non-stop.

Finally, she stopped and looked at Yi Chen and said: "I can imagine that whether it is Titanfall or Apex, it will definitely be a very fun game after production, but as a free game, Apex wants to get enough players , It is very difficult to grab more shares in the current battle royale."

"So, being a separate release of Titanfall is important."

Snapping his fingers, Yi Chen said, "As long as Titanfall sells well and we launch Apex later, there will naturally be enough players to pay attention to Apex. And pvp games always have a certain audience. In addition, it is still free to play, as long as a large number of people are attracted to experience the game at the beginning, and we can guarantee the completion of the game and the prevention of cheating, we can definitely obtain a retention rate sufficient to recover the development cost.”

Standing up from the chair, Haizi looked at the confident Yi Chen and smiled.

"I don't know much about the game's release and player retention, but I know that as long as this game is made, it will definitely be fun. For me, this is enough. It's just a pity that I have to do it now Persona, I can't wait to participate in the development of the new game."

Yi Chen spread his hands and said: "There is no way for this, after all, we have limited manpower. But in the future, we will continue to expand manpower, whether it is Tokyo or Shanghai. When we will develop new games next year , I believe that there will be more members in our studio, and even if you want to double-play, it will be no problem."

One game is not enough, Yi Chen is still thinking about developing Dark Souls at the same time.

Chapter 298 The Opponent's New Game

After temporarily satisfying his curiosity, Haizi said with a smile: "Finally, I have the opportunity to make a shooting game. Well, I should go back and finish my busy work. I have an appointment with some friends tonight." You can't be late for the shooting gallery."

As soon as he walked to the office door and opened the door, he saw a few people headed by Hazuki Shizuku gathered at the door together.

"Ahhhh!"

"Ah! It's crushing me!"

Looking at these guys who fell on the ground playing with Arhats, the corners of Haizi's mouth twitched: "You... what are you doing?"

Getting up from the ground, Iori Yagami said with some embarrassment: "Hey, sister Ye Yue asked us if I was curious about what you two were doing together. We didn't want to come, we were forced to come here by her."

Yi Chen who was sitting in the office also heard the movement and came out.

Looking at the few people getting up from the ground, he shook his head helplessly: "You guys, don't you think that Sister Haizi and I are doing something ulterior in the office? I didn't see that Shi Yu didn't move Is it?"

In the art group, Shi Yu really didn't move from the beginning to the end, sitting in the seat next to Yuan Shanlun, holding a copy of "Dream of Red Mansions" in his hand.

Haizi dragged Yi Chen to the office, she naturally saw it, but she didn't have any worries.

Yichen's personality, Haizi's personality, she couldn't be more clear. It is impossible for those things to happen, and most of them are related to games.

Shi Yu knows that Yi Chen usually spends his free time writing plans, and also knows that besides Dark Soul, there is also a shooting game, which is Haizi's favorite game type.

Most likely, Yi Chen told the other party about the content of the game, and then made the other party excited.

Can understand.

Just like myself, when discussing the novels she is interested in, she will be more excited.

Of course, Yi Chen won't tell everyone about the new game project. Just telling Haizi makes him so excited. After telling everyone, why don't he work hard?

Let these guys go back to work hard, and Yi Chen came to Shi Yu's side.

She didn't expect Shiyu to start watching Dream of Red Mansions, but according to Shiyu's own words, since she has learned Chinese, besides communication, it must also be useful in other aspects.

In addition, I still write novels, there are so many famous works in Huaxia, if I don't read them to enrich my background, it will really be a waste.

Although many books have translated versions, Shi Yu still chose to buy the original version to read.

Yi Chen has never read the book A Dream of Red Mansions. After sitting next to Shi Yu, he glanced at it and asked in a low voice, "Did you encounter any difficulties while reading it?"

Shi Yu shook his head slowly: "No, although it is not written in the vernacular I expected, it is not difficult to understand. As for the content, it is a bit beyond my expectation, and it is quite enough for me to read. I just hope Sister Yuan Zi won't rush me to draft the second volume of the novel just because I read the book."

"I don't think so."

Helping Shi Yu straighten the hair around her ears, Yi Chen said, "The first volume of the new book hasn't been released yet, so it's impossible for her to rush you for the second volume. After a month."

Shi Yu thought about it, yes, he is no longer a novice at the beginning, and there will be delays in drafting.

Now, I can be regarded as a best-selling light novel author no matter what. If I only write light novels, I will definitely be able to write for a few years.And after I accumulate more, even if I don’t want to continue writing light novels, I can try to switch to traditional novels.

No matter how bad it is, it is not impossible to do animation or game screenwriting by yourself.

With her strength here, Shi Yu still has great confidence in herself, no matter whether it is being urged to write or being dragged by the novel, it will not happen to her.

Leaning lightly on Yi Chen's shoulder, Shi Yu turned a page, and asked in a low voice while reading: "Did you just tell Sister Haizi about the new game?"

"Well, I talked a little bit, but it's still too early to start development, so I have to wait until the development of Persona is finished, and then expand the scale of the studio."

There are still a lot of plans for the new game at hand, but Yi Chen will not rush forward, just take one step at a time, and just play steadily.

After staying with Shi Yu for a while, Yi Chen was planning to go back to his office to see the results of everyone's work today, when Ye Yueshizuku walked out of his office and came to Yi Chen's side.

Leaning close to Yi Chen's ear, Ye Yueshizuku said in a low voice: "Yi Chen, Benizaka Zhuyin's company, just announced its new game online, and it has landed on Steam and PS."

"Oh?"

Yi Chen looked at Ye Yue Shizuku in surprise, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "If you hadn't mentioned Ye Yue, I would have forgotten about our new competitor."

Turning on the computer in front of Shi Yu and logging onto Steam, Yi Chen asked, "What's the name of the game?"

"Fantasy Era, a 3D fantasy style arpg game, I looked at the PV, and the development scale should be quite large."

"Is the development on a large scale?"

Yi Chen became more and more interested. After searching the name, this game really popped up.

When Yi Chen clicked on the game PV, other people who heard it all came over.

Ying Lili pulled Xue Nai to stand behind Yi Chen, and said curiously: "That Hongsaka Zhu Yin, actually intends to fight you?"

"It may not be very suitable to play against Taiwan."

Yi Chen zoomed in on the PV screen in the store, and then said, "The world view is different, and then the gameplay is also different. This game is ARPG, which focuses on real-time battles. Our Persona is a turn-based battle. But this The modeling of the game can be done, although it is only a PV."

Everyone around here is an artist, so it's natural to see the modeling skills of this game.

Hikaru Yagami squinted his eyes and said, "This Benizaka Akane, wasn't her company a commercial fan club before? There are such high-quality 3D modelers?"

Haizi who didn't know when came over gave the answer.

"Isn't this simple? Poach people."
