Game production, I entered the Star Iron shooting CG

If a gaming platform wants to stand out in the market, two points are very important.

First, it has to be established early. The earlier it acts as a bridge between game manufacturers and players, the more accustomed players will be to using this platform, and it will become a habit.

Second, the games on the platform are complete in variety and high in quality.

Of course, the green bar is also important.

As Youmi Cloud is a new platform, there is no need to think about the first point.

So, if the platform wants to get started, it can only start with the game itself.

Making a platform-exclusive game that appeals to most players, coupled with Star Tie and a spreading player base, is one of the best ways to promote the game.

Moreover, after the training of these two games, Mihoyo's game production process has gradually matured, enough to support the research and development of a large-scale stand-alone game.

However, if you want to attract the majority of players, the gameplay of this game must not be too complicated.

Complex gameplay not only raises the upper limit of the game, but also raises the threshold for players to play the game.

For example, RTS games are really fun, and the unique thrill of commanding a large army in real-time combat is irreplaceable.

But the difficulty of getting started is really too high, and beginners may find it difficult to play a simple computer game.

For players, this feeling of frustration is very strong.

As the first game tasked with bringing traffic to the platform, it is not quite suitable.

Ok……

Thinking of this, An Yi had an idea in his mind.

"For the new game, we are going to make a city, an imaginary yet real city." As he said that, An Yi stood up, turned around and wrote three words on the whiteboard behind him.

"Night City."

"Night City? A city?"

For this word.

Everyone in the conference room looked confused.

Building a city in the game?

What is this operation? A life simulator?

"Yes, a city. Night City is located on the home planet of the Silver Wolves, Punklord. This planet has a very high level of technology, but the living standards of its residents are extremely low. The resources of the planet are completely controlled by giant companies, leaving only scraps for ordinary people."

"This is a city of extreme polarity. On one side are skyscrapers flashing neon lights, where the rich enjoy life; but in the dark corners, there are gangsters, hooligans, and robbers everywhere, and the poor can only numb themselves with cheap electronic products."

"In Punklod, people's daily lives are affected by extremely unbalanced technology and invasive human body modification. People's every move will be supervised by giant companies..."

"Against this backdrop, the situation in Night City is even more extreme, with its actual management rights held by several giant companies. Freedom and chaos are synonymous with this city."

“Our new game takes place in this city, and the main storyline will revolve around the conflicts between hackers, artificial intelligence, and giant corporations.”

Cyberpunk.

This is a fantasy near-future world that is both far away and close to the real society.

Here, people have become insignificant things. Due to the development of high technology, the dividing line between people and machines has begun to disappear. In the eyes of the company, people are also consumables.

Naturally, conflict will arise between humans who want to break free from control and the large corporations that control the wealth.

Compared to the fantastical science fiction world of interstellar travel such as Star Trek, the cyberpunk world feels more real.

This sense of reality will definitely attract a large number of players.

After all, who could resist a glimpse at the city of the future?

This is also the main reason why Anyi chose to do cyberpunk.

In addition, more importantly.

Before, many players on Weibo were saying that he was An Laozei.

He strongly disagreed with this.

Therefore, we must take some practical actions to prove that we are really warriors of love.

"..."

The worldview that An Yi talked about was not unfamiliar to everyone present.

They knew the concept of cyberpunk as early as when they were making the Silver Wolf mission.

However, before in Star Iron, the world view was only briefly mentioned.

Now, listening to An Yi's detailed narration, everyone's eyes brightened.

Lin Yuzhu stared at An Yi's head.

"Your next sentence is, Brother An, what's wrong with your head?" An Yi glanced at her.

"Ange, your head..."

Lin Yuzhu swallowed her words in dismay, then changed the subject and said excitedly: "This kind of resistance spirit really... makes my heart beat so fast, and I feel a little powerless. I want to play now!"

"I want to do it. I want to do cyberpunk right now! Ange, have you finished writing the plan? Bring it to me quickly!"

Qu Ziyi looked at An Yi with excitement.

An Yi was silent for a moment. He had been slacking off for so long that he had no time to write a plan. After a pause, he said, "I haven't written it yet, but don't worry. After all, the platform hasn't been built yet, so you can take your time with the game. Besides, your team still has to work on the spreading challenge mode, so leave the new game to other teams."

Hearing this, Qu Ziyi was horrified: "Brother An, please don't. If I can't make this game, I will die... Spread has become a regular game. Xiaoyu, the new member of my team, is very capable and can now take charge of his own work. I want to give up my position and make a new game!"

"..."

You kid, you really are a stubborn person.

Not even a team leader anymore?

You want to be exploited by me so much, right?

Okay, I'll satisfy you.

An Yi twitched his lips: "...Okay, then go and communicate on your own. I'll write the plan in a while, remember to ask me for it later."

"Okay, then, Brother An, I'll go get some help. Hurry up and work on the plan! Hurry up and get to work!"

Qu Ziyi couldn't wait to walk out of the meeting room.

Because he really thinks that the cyberpunk that An Yi talked about is very interesting.

If Night City is really made, I wonder how many players will be addicted to it.

"..."

"No, wait a minute... never mind."

Looking at Qu Ziyi who ran out in a hurry.

An Yi had an illusion of who he was and where he was.

What should I do if my employees are too enthusiastic about their work?

Waiting online, very anxious.

However, what I want to talk about next is Cyberpunk’s publicity plan.

This time, An Yi does not plan to use the actual game footage, so it has little to do with Qu Ziyi, and it won’t have any impact if he leaves first.

"This time, our promotional video is different from the past. I plan to make it longer, so the animation department may have a hard time in the future. We need to prepare in advance."

Lu Ling, the animation team leader who was questioned, was very surprised.

It’s just a promotional video, how long can it get?

She has made quite a few animated promotional videos for Xingtie, the longest of which is only 5 to 6 minutes long.

But since Ange said it was long, I guess it should be more than 10 minutes this time.

A bit challenging, but manageable!

"Brother An, don't worry, I promise to finish it within three days!"

"Don't worry, either." An Yi glanced at the confident Lü Ling, erased a small area on the whiteboard that was previously filled with writing, and said as he wrote, "I plan to make this promotional video 200 minutes long."

"Ah? How much?"

Chapter 190: Brother An, please, change the ending!

"Brother An, how much of the rest of the script have you written?"

“…Ange, are you writing or not? (Knocks on the door) Are you sleeping? (Lies on the cement) (Knocks on the floor) Have you drawn the storyboards? (Pokes his head out from under the table) How much have you drawn, one-third? (Pokes his head out of the mirror anxiously) Shouldn’t you send me the scripts for the next few episodes now? (Hangs upside down from the ceiling) You can give me the second episode, too. (Impatiently spins on the spot, drooling)…”

The chat box was filled with Lu Ling's intensive requests for updates.

I looked at the time again and saw that the message was sent at 4 a.m.

An Yi's sleepy eyes suddenly widened.

At the meeting yesterday, he told Lu Ling the general plot of Cyberpunk: Edgewalker, and then he went home after get off work.

After returning home, An Yi first made the plot and storyboard of the first episode of Edge Walker and sent it to Lu Ling, intending to let her have a brief understanding of the world view and art style.

Then An Yi went to play happily with Heita and didn't look at his phone anymore.

At that time, Lu Ling was still fine.

But looking at Lu Ling's current state...

It’s bad. I feel like I’ve become a cyber-psycho.

Fine.

For the sake of his employees' morale, he decided to show some real strength.

An Yi moved his fingers and typed the first word.

"Why don't we make a deal?"

"Let me help you install it."

"But when it attacks the brain,"

"When you come back crying and beg me to tear it down, S'An Westin will be mine."

"This deal...isn't it good?"

"..."

the next day.

Mihoyo headquarters.

Lu Ling looked at the plot and storyboards that An Yi had worked out in one day, and she couldn't wait to take them over, just like a cat seeing catnip.

She squeezed the thick stack of A4 paper in her hand.

so much? !

Feeling surprised, she couldn't help but look up at An Yi.

Lu Ling's face turned a little red.

After watching the first episode that night, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

Then I sent a message to An Yi late at night urging her to update the content. By the time she realized it, it was too late to withdraw the message.

As the leader of the animation team, it's too embarrassing to lose sleep because of the drama I'm about to produce.

But... I really can't help it.

"The main plot has been completed. I have written an outline for some of the side plots. Remember to fill them in when you are working on it. I didn't draw many storyboards, only some key scenes."

An Yi looked at Lü Ling who had already started reading and said, "Also, after you understand it, go to Qu Ziyi. I've also given him his game plan, but I'm too lazy to write two copies of some of the repeated settings, so I've put them with you. You guys work together to integrate the world view and plot line, so that the game plot and the plot of Edgewalker can be organically combined."

"Okay, An Ge, I'll go right away! We can study and watch at the same time, this way it's more efficient."

Following An Yi's instructions, Lu Ling ran outside with the storyboard script in her arms.

boom--

"Ouch……"

Hearing the bang, An Yi couldn't help but feel a little distressed for the girl's forehead.
