I play games in Zongman World

Shi Yu smiled and covered Yi Chen's cheeks with both hands, looked at him and said, "Then let's see how much I can increase the sales of a game. By the way, I can also be a spy for you to find out, Hong Sakajuyin’s development strength.”

"Then go ahead~~"

............

Shiwa's joining in Benizaka Zhuyin's project did not cause much disturbance in YC Productions.

As Yi Chen said, the gap in strength between rouge en rouge and YC Productions is still obvious, and they didn't just poach Shiyu, but came here to invite Shiyu to cooperate.

It is unrealistic to worry that the other party will draw closer to the strength of the two parties by relying on a screenwriter.

And after starting to cooperate with Benizaka Zhuyin, Shiyu went to rouge en rouge for meetings from time to time to discuss scripts and some things in the game, in addition to attending classes and coming to the company.

Because of the agreement, she didn't talk to Yi Chen about anything in the plan.

Although Hongsaka Zhuyin doesn't mind Shiyu going to talk to Yichen, but Shiyu also has her own professionalism, even if she is her own man, she won't say it outright.

In this way, April slowly passed, and time came to May.

YC Productions' Garou game finally ushered in its own release date in May after the announcement of the completion of development in mid-April.

The pre-sale sales of the game directly rose to more than 9, close to [-] in the previous online and offline advertisements and two live broadcast events.

And on May [-]th, the media score of the game was also announced.

Although it is said to be a game adapted from Tokusho by fans, Garo’s ratings in the media are surprisingly good, and the media basically gave it a score of 8/10, 80/100 or above.The media gave high praise for the game's sense of attack, combat system, graphics, music, and restoration of the plot.

[As a fan-oriented game, this will definitely exceed the expectations of fans. Even if you are not a fan of Tokusho, you can definitely experience the fun from the game]

Media comments like this made many fans who were looking forward to the game Gararot even more excited.

In the pockets of countless players, on May [-], the game was lifted.

Yi Chen watched the sales volume break through 20 on the first day, and started planning for the second part with a smile.

Chapter 582 New Project

After the release of Garo, it quickly spread among the fans of Tokusho.

And because of the unexpected quality of the game, it was, unsurprisingly, compared to various past fan games.

The results of the comparison are self-evident, none of them can be played, even in the past two years of the various comics, lightly modified games, and special camera adapted games, none of them can close the distance in terms of quality and gameplay .

All of a sudden, various game developers specializing in fan-oriented games were constantly sprayed by players in various game forums.

In the afternoon, Yi Chen, who was sitting in the office, heard what Shinoda Chu said about the forum, and said with a smile: "This is inevitable. After all, those fan games in the past were indeed very ordinary, and the price was still selling. High. There was no choice in the past. Now that our game is out, you can see if it will affect the sales of those adapted games. If I remember correctly, there will be new fans coming to the adapted games in the next two months, right? "

Shinoda nodded at the beginning: "Yes, there is a Digimon, and then there are two gal-like games changed from light novels. To be honest, they are all so-so, and I have no intention of making people buy them. Mr. Yichen, Mr. Yichen, you It was said before that Garou might have a little update plan in the follow-up, what is it?"

"I knew you would want to ask this, Miss Chu."

Yi Chen said with a smile, "Now the content of the game is all single-player gameplay, so I plan to add a battle mode in the follow-up update, not only can control the various Lord of the Rings knights in the game, but also can control various players in the game." Debut boss. If you want to play against each other, you can play against each other locally or online, what do you think of this? I have also read some forum discussions in the past two days, and some players are looking forward to this."

"Oh! This is fine! I'm just talking about how you made the boss's movements so complete at the time. It's a bit too much. So you have considered the battle mode!"

Yi Chen nodded: "Yes, the main thing is that I didn't know how much some sales could be at the beginning. But now, there is no need to worry. In the past two days, I will celebrate that the game's sales have far exceeded expectations. I will predict the next battle The mode is updated. Sister Chu, this content also requires you to pay more attention, and some actions still need to be adjusted."

"No problem, leave it to me!"

After saluting happily to Yi Chen, Xiao Tianchu left the office.

Yi Chen stayed in the office for another 15 minutes, and it was time for the meeting, so he took his things and went to the meeting room.

In the next meeting, apart from himself, there were also some members from the Garage group, and some newly recruited members.

Gararo is released, and the next battle mode does not need to be fully staffed, especially for the art part, a large part of the manpower can be allocated to carry out the next new plan.

That is one of the employee ideas collected before, the company's next rouge card game, Monster Train.

When Yi Chen was having a meeting, Shi Yu and Xue Nai also came back from the villa, looked at the decoration of the past few days, and then passed a furniture market on the way, and went there to look at the furniture.

Back at the company, as soon as he came up, he saw that there were a lot of people missing here, so Shi Yu looked at Yuan Shanlun who was arranging things.

"Sister Lun, did the absent person go to a meeting?"

"That's right." Ron Toyama nodded with a smile, "Xiaochen has brought the selected people to a meeting, and a new project will start next. By the way, Yukino Shiha, there is a cake just delivered in the tea room. There is still a lot of coffee, if you are hungry, go and eat."

"Okay, just tired of shopping and a little hungry, let's go, Yukino."

An hour later, the project kick-off meeting discussed the content of the game with everyone, and Yi Chen ended today's meeting.

Next, the game will start preliminary development. Yi Chen will have to discuss a series of in-game art styles with the art team, and then improve the planning content.

As for the program of the game, with the Slaughter Spire in front, many things can be directly inherited, and it is much easier to do without having to work hard from scratch.

And part of the UI can also be used directly after modification, just change the style of painting.

My own games of the same type, it is normal for the UI to be slightly similar, and the most important starting method of this type of card game is to hook various cards, and the priority of UI style can be put later put.

Coming out of the conference room, Yichen saw Shiwa Yukino who were chatting with Aoba and Eirari at the Berserker Team.

"Are you guys back?"

Seeing Yi Chen coming out, Shi Yu said with a smile: "We've all been back for an hour, and we've finished our afternoon tea. Mr. Chen, your meeting here has been going on for a long time."

"The preliminary meeting of planning, it will take some time."

There was still some time, Yichen pulled up a chair and sat down in Shiyu, "How did you go to see it today?"

"The progress of the renovation is very good. Today, the gym and the audio-visual room are being renovated. More than half of the sound insulation of the audio-visual room has been done, and it will be completed in two days."

"Well, that's not bad."

The decoration progress of the new home is so good, Yi Chen is really looking forward to moving in before the summer vacation, and his parents also plan to come over in the summer, so they can live more comfortably.

After chatting with everyone here for a while, Yi Chen went to the newly formed Monster Train development team, went there to find members of the art team, and discussed the game's art issues.

As for the settings of monsters and cards, Yi Chen has already provided part of them, and then they have to continue to improve.

For card games, the types and quantity of cards must be very rich, and it is best not to have a sense of déjà vu with the previous Slaying Spire.

Seeing that Yi Chen is busy again, and Shi Yu has also taken on the screenwriting job of a new game project in addition to her new book, Xue Nai thought about it, besides spending more time reading books at home Learning also accepted part of the kitchen work.

Nine p.m.

Xue Nai cut the baked and cooled bread, then cut some fruit, added a glass of milk, and brought them to the bedroom together.

At the moment, Yi Chen is writing a project on the curse of blood in his room, searching for various Victorian architectural materials and clothing materials.

The planning of the monster train is not too difficult. After the overall direction is controlled, Yi Chen will leave it to the team members to do it.

As for the Curse of Blood, he has to control it all by himself from beginning to end, just like the previous Persona and Dark Soul, it is the top priority.

Gently opening the door, Xue Nai walked in with something, looked at Yi Chen who was at the desk and said, "Take a break and eat something."

Turning his attention away from the computer screen, Yi Chen glanced at the freshly baked bread, and said to Xue Nai who was sitting next to him: "Thanks for your hard work, then eat some with me."

Chapter 583 E3 in June

Accompanying Yi Chen to eat fruit, Xue Nai glanced at the computer screen.

"Building information? Are these used in the game?"

Yi Chen nodded: "As I told you before, the architectural style to be used in the Curse of Blood, as well as the clothing, this type of style is very suitable for use in games. But if it is actually designed, There are still some minor revisions and adjustments to be made. It’s just that I didn’t know much about these things before, and now I need to make up more lessons.”

As he said that, Yi Chen also opened a few photos of men's clothing in the Victorian period for Xue Nai to see.

After reading it, Xue Nai thought for a while: "The style of this costume is completely different from the previous Dark Souls. Didn't you say that these two are the same type of game? Is this kind of clothing really suitable as a character's armor? ?”

"Games, don't need to worry so much. I don't plan to use shields for players in this game."

Yi Chen said with a smile, "In Soul of Darkness, if players are not proficient, equipping a shield can improve the error tolerance rate very well. Except for a few places that are prone to suffering, most areas can be pushed over stably. But in the Curse of Blood, I plan to encourage players to attack, so I don’t equip players with shields. I plan to put a musket on their left-handed weapons. The specific gameplay will wait until I make a demo. You will know."

Xue Nai nodded, and looked at these costumes curiously.

She has seen this kind of British Victorian style clothing in some movies and TV shows, but she doesn't know much about it. Now she can watch it with Yi Chen and learn more about it.

...........

After the game Garage was released, the sales volume exceeded 30 copies, and the growth rate began to slow down. This is normal, and it has already exceeded the expectations of YC Productions and Northeast News Agency.

Following the popularity of the Garage game, Northeast News Agency's Garage new drama was also broadcast, which gained a lot of attention and ratings, which can be said to be a win-win for both parties.

The cooperation of the second part of the game also began to discuss non-stop.

It's just that because of the tastes of gamers now, the development of the second part has to be well planned. It can't just be different in the plot, but also has to make some breakthroughs compared to the first part in the gameplay.

But there is no rush, just plan slowly.

The monster train project also officially started, the art began to draw monsters and card faces, and the numerical planning began to design the effects of various cards.

In terms of program, Yichen let the program team do it first, and then there is the program of killing the spire. It is not too difficult to do it in all aspects, it is nothing more than adjustments in the logic of the battle.

As for the Curse of Blood, although Yi Chen has already begun to familiarize himself with the knowledge of various buildings and costumes, if the project wants to officially start, he still has to wait until the development of Legend of Berserk is completed.

It is now mid-May, and the expected release date of Berserker Legend is in October, and if there are no accidents, according to the current development progress, YC Productions can make another reverse ticket, so that the game will be released in September in advance .

Coming to the mad battle group, Yi Chen saw Ye Yueshizuku and Yagami Guang standing behind Ming Haiyan's computer, looking at something.

Yi Chen walked over and found that he was watching a CG animation that had just been made, and it was a plot animation in the later stage of the game.

Hearing the sound of footsteps appearing beside her, Ye Yueshizuku turned her head, looked at Yi Chen and said, "You're here too? You haven't seen the CG just finished, have you?"

Yi Chen nodded: "It's true that I haven't watched it yet. It's pretty good. Is the fluency okay?"

"Don't worry, of course it's no problem!" Iori Yagami smiled and gave a thumbs up, "The cutscenes in the game are all 60 frames according to Yi Chen's requirements! Of course, those cutscenes calculated by the real machine, It was originally 60 frames."

The cutscene cg in some stand-alone games are all done in advance, but because they are all done at 30 frames, so when the game is turned into a plot, the frame rate will drop significantly, regardless of the host’s lock 60 The frame rate is still the high frame rate of the PC, and the player will clearly feel it when it reaches 30 frames all at once.

Even if the 30-frame animation is generally not visible to the naked eye, it can still be felt when the high frame rate drops to 30 frames, which will make people who are used to it very uncomfortable.

Therefore, in some non-real computer calculation cutscenes, whether it is 3D or 2D, Yichen always uses the 60 frame standard.

And some 2D cutscenes are naturally not made by the company itself, but outsourced. The effects of these also meet the requirements, without cutting corners.

Looking around at the enthusiasm of everyone on the development team, Yi Chen said, "Sister Ye Yue, you must not have forgotten that June is the time to start the announcement of the Legend of Berserk. At the E3 station at the end of June, although we will not Go there in person, but Tales of Berserk will be featured at the Nintendo Direct."

"Of course I haven't forgotten." Hazuki Shizuku said confidently, "The demo for the game to be played at the exhibition site is already being debugged and optimized. It should be officially adjusted next week and sent to the old man. It's over."

"OK, I'll leave this to you."

Yi Chen nodded, and then went to the development team of the monster train.

It was said that it took a week, but in fact, after five days, the E3 trial demo of the Legend of Berserk has been completely completed, and the optimization has also achieved the best at the current stage. Without reducing too many special effects, in the NS The number of frames on the screen has stabilized at 60 frames.

After getting it in hand and testing it, Yichen was very satisfied: "OK, let's send it according to this, how about the demos of PC, ps, and xbox, is there any optimization? This time we are going to put the game demo on each platform Up."

This time the Legend of Berserk, Yi Chen intends to give some of it a trial run. After all, this time the main action of the game has cost a lot in this regard. Yi Chen still hopes to attract a group of players as soon as possible.

And the current trial demo, combined with the popularity of the E3 exhibition, can just launch this new IP series, which is convenient for a series of subsequent release promotions.

Ye Yueshizuku nodded: "The optimization team is already testing and adjusting. Before the E3 station starts, it can definitely be completed, and it will be reviewed by each platform and go online on time. But Xiaochen, this time it's really Are you not going to the scene?"

Yi Chen responded: "Well, the new game doesn't need to be announced so early, just put it on the old Ren's face-to-face meeting. Our game has contributed so much sales and profits to the old Ren, and the other party also needs to do it in this regard. They are happy to help. Several of their games have not been able to launch demos in the past few months. Our game is just ready to be followed, and the rest can be left to them. However, the Tokyo Game Show, Cologne Games Exhibition, as well as the TGA awards, we still have to go."

Especially TGA, I didn't participate in last year, but I still want to go this year.

By the end of the year, Yi Chen can actually produce the promotional PV of the Curse of Blood, and add some battle scenes, so that players who haven't waited for the sequel to Dark Souls can get excited first.

Chapter 584 Trial Version

After a small breakthrough in the game sales volume of Garo, reaching 35 copies, Yichen announced the good news on the official accounts of YC Productions platforms, and also announced that Garo will develop a new content next , which is the pvp battle mode.

As soon as the news came out, the players became excited.

After all, games like this special camera used to have a battle mode, and games like Knight and Ultraman also mostly focused on fighting.

Ultraman Fighting Evolution, even for so many years, has always been the ceiling of Ultraman games in Yichen's mind, but unfortunately there is no follow-up.

Now Garo is also going to launch a battle mode, which naturally makes players look forward to it. With such a good action system and sense of attack, it is a pity not to have a battle mode.

In addition to the news about Garo, Yi Chen also announced his new game Legend of Berserk, which will be unveiled at the E3 exhibition in June, along with the old Ren's face-to-face event, and announce some new content.

And in addition to the trial play at the exhibition site, after the E3 face-to-face meeting, the game will also release demos on various platforms for players to experience the game process for about an hour for free.

All of a sudden, many players who haven't played new games recently began to look forward to the arrival of E3.

[Finally the demo is coming! 】

[I found an action system that cooperates with cards and tables, and I have to play it well when the time comes]

[However, will the one-hour process be a little shorter? 】

Although many players feel that the one-hour process is short, the playing time is almost the same.And even after experiencing the plot in the trial version, you can still choose to explore in the limited map and fight with monsters in the wild, but you just can't upgrade or learn new skills.

The area given in the trial version is in the middle of the game, the character's level is 30, and he has already learned a lot of skills, which is enough for players to fully experience various skill combinations in this area.

Although it is said that this beta version is for players to experience, but after it is done, everyone in the company is addicted to it.
