Game production, I entered the Star Iron shooting CG

An Yi covered Silver Wolf's belly, continued to comb her smooth hair, and called her softly.

"……Um?"

"Are you sleepy? You didn't sleep well last night. Shall I take you home to sleep?"

“…No, no.”

Silver Wolf felt a little embarrassed. Her sleep quality last night was actually quite good. After all, she didn't even remember how she got out of the bathroom and fell into a baby-like sleep.

She buried her face tightly and changed the subject: "I heard that the Youmi Cloud platform has encountered some troubles recently. Is the situation serious?"

"It's not serious. It's just that the old platforms are protecting their own market after seeing the emergence of new platforms. Mihoyo has already established a certain reputation among domestic game players and large and small game manufacturers, and its recognition is quite good. Nebula platform is only now thinking about entering the domestic market, and I'm afraid it's thinking too much. However, the situation abroad is a little worse, and it will take time."

An Yi let go of Yinlang's hair, pinched her hot little face, and continued: "We need to shock the foreign market with some Mihoyo."

"Well...I see."

Silver Wolf shook his head, trying to avoid An Yi's hand, but found that he couldn't avoid it. In the end, he had to let him pinch his face and said, "That's why we need to release a new game quickly."

"Yes, if we want to boost the confidence of game manufacturers in Mihoyo, there is no faster way than to make a game that will dominate their market." An Yi nodded and said, "This requires a little help from you."

Hearing An Yi talking about business, Silver Wolf also sat up, patted his chest, and said confidently: "Just tell me if you need any help. This is what I should do. After all, I am also a senior executive of Mihoyo..."

"Hey?"

"Okay, that's not important." Realizing that he had let the cat out of the bag, Silver Wolf quickly changed the subject, then transferred his game console to his side, and then stuffed it into An Yi's hand.

"You need this, right? I know."

After taking over the handheld game console from Silver Wolf, An Yi always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Yang Hao’s performance just now was very strange.

So, what happened?

An Yi pondered it for a while, but still couldn't figure it out. He decided not to waste any more time and directly turned on the handheld game console and selected a suitable game.

Chapter 230: This is it, this is it!

soon.

An Yi found a suitable one among the games that Silver Wolf had played recently.

The name of the game is "Ring of Jianmu".

It tells the story of a planet that was given Jianmu by a pharmacist.

The Jianmu tree bestowed by the Compassionate Medicine Master brought supreme prosperity to this place.

Let all sentient beings gain something.

However, this gift is not without price.

This era of abundance was fleeting.

The natural order of life and death was distorted by the great power, and all living things were put in the shackles of eternal life, which brought endless disasters upon themselves.

From the perspective of a nobody who has been blessed with a gift, players will experience immortality in the blessing of abundance, grow step by step, defeat the twisted creatures that have been infected by evil and fallen into madness, and the mad dog-like alien people of abundance who have smelled the scent of Jianmu, until they finally face Jianmu.

Here, the player has to make the final choice: to cut off the roots of Jianmu and never die, or to repeat the same mistake...

When An Yi saw the introduction of this game, his eyes lit up.

This game is produced by Xianzhou, and has a strong Xianzhou flavor. It aims to subtly publicize the terribleness of the Fengcuo people to the public, and let the Xianzhou people establish a correct concept of life and death.

The word "Huan" in the name also means reincarnation, attempting to warn future generations of Xianzhou people not to forget the painful lessons of the past.

An Yi even felt that the background of this game might be directly connected to the Ten Kings Division or the Cloud Cavalry. If a player achieved the ending where Jianmu was retained, they would directly come to the door to offer warmth.

Thinking of this, An Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After playing around for a while, An Yi made a decision: this was it.

The gameplay and design of "Ring of Jianmu" are very similar to "Ring of Elden".

After playing for almost an hour, An Yi almost suspected that Hidetaka Miyazaki had traveled to the Star Railway World.

Like, it’s really similar.

However, this is a lot more convenient. All he needs to do is combine the best parts of the two games together. An Yi is confident that he can make a game that is even better than the original.

An Yi excitedly turned the screen of the handheld game console to Silver Wolf and said excitedly, "This is it. Can you see if you can export all the important maps and character materials in this game?"

"This is easy. It won't take much time. We can finish it tonight." Silver Wolf stretched out a finger and pressed the screen of the handheld game console, pressing down An Yi's hand. As if she remembered something interesting, her tone suddenly became very frivolous, and she said, "But I won't do it without compensation."

goodong...

An Yi swallowed his saliva and inexplicably felt a chill on his neck.

Could it be that Silver Wolf is still angry?

“I want this too!”

As he spoke, Silver Wolf snapped his fingers, and a black tower-like figure appeared on the table in the conference room.

"Why does she have it and I don't?"

"Yes, yes..."

An Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly promised.

It turns out to be this...

"What about the material?"

"It depends on your performance."

……

……

three days later.

An Yi finally ended his retreat and walked out of the house with the game plan he had worked hard to compile.

The experience of these three days of retreat taught An Yi a truth.

That means if you want someone to do something for you, you have to pay a price.

The reward that Silver Wolf asked for was also the same...

But when An Yi, who had disappeared for three days, came to Mihoyo with the plan for the new game, everyone was stunned.

Three days ago, during a meeting.

An Yi revealed some ideas about the new game.

Employees knew that the new game would be an open world game.

Moreover, regarding this unprecedented new game type, An Yi’s response at the time was to make one to practice first.

From childhood to adulthood, we have to take one step at a time.

All employees of Mihoyo from top to bottom agreed that if it was just for practicing, it should be a small game of small scale.

At best, it can reach the level of "Night City".

Perhaps it may be even easier to produce than "Night City".

This idea persisted until An Yi handed them a thick stack of business plans.

Turn from the back to the front, first look at the page number, page 1415,

Everyone was stunned when they saw this page number.

This... this TM...

Mr. An, do you have any misunderstanding about practicing?

Among all the departments of Mihoyo, the art department suffered the greatest impact because An Yi prepared additional art references for them.

It is twice as long as the text version.

Lu Ling from the animation team couldn't even close her mouth.

Now that these piles of concept design drawings are in front of herself and her colleagues, she can't help but recall her desk in high school.

"This is too much. When did Mr. An start preparing for it?"

As she spoke, Lu Ling picked up the top folded B0-sized paper from the design drawings.

It was spread out on the table, almost covering the entire animation team's table.

This conceptual draft contains a complete open world map called the Borderland.

In addition, special markings are made at each important key node on the map.

The art style of the area was noted, and page numbers were thoughtfully given to make it easier for employees to find the exact location of a specific art reference in the large pile of design drawings.

Following the markings on the large map, Lu Ling found a map labeled "Imperial City".

After a quick glance, the architectural style is roughly the early Chinese retro style.

At first glance, it looks square and neat, yet exudes a hint of ancient and elegant charm, which is very pleasing to the eye.

"Wow, this bracket design shows that An Ge knows a lot about architecture..."

The more Lu Ling read on, the more she sighed. Even though she already knew that An Yi would never let anyone down, this surprise was really too big.

These designs are really useful.

Lu Ling is a professional artist and she is well aware of the horror of these designs.

Buildings, NPC characters, BOSS, all the above details are included.

These design drawings alone can help Mihoyo's art department save 6% to 8% of their time.

Anyone can draw by copying something. If you ask a dozen high school students of average ability to copy a complete Along the River During the Qingming Festival, they will only need less than a week.

The biggest difficulty for the art design department of a game company is not the process of drawing or modeling, but the moment when the image is first formed in the mind. The moment of inspiration is so rare.

"This project is so huge, where should I start..."

After a while, Lu Ling, who had entered the working state, felt a little headache and unconsciously looked at Silver Wolf who was sitting aside playing games.

Silver Wolf’s current identity is the special consultant of the “Ring of Jianmu” project team.

Lu Ling looked at Yinlang and thought about the rumors about her in the company, and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

But in her serious and responsible attitude towards the game, she still asked, "Well, Miss Silver Wolf, which parts do you think should be done first? I want to focus on making a scene first, so that I can set an example for the other groups."

Hearing Lu Ling's words, Silver Wolf put down the handheld game console in her hand, walked over, glanced at the map of the border area spread out on the table, and stretched out her white fingers to point at several key locations in the game that left a deep impression on her.

"These are the Xinjie Fortress, the Medicine Seeking Platform, the Imperial City, the Illusionary Sacred Tree, and the Sitianjian. These five locations are the core content of the game, and we must do them well."

After saying that, Silver Wolf retracted his finger, thought for a moment, and added, "Oh, yes, there is also the guide character, the one who adds points to the player character, that must be done well."

Chapter 4 Mihuyou's mysterious unspoken rules (k)

With the official launch of the "Ring of Jianmu" project, the entire Mihoyo has entered an unprecedented busy period.

Even after more than half a year of training, this team has already acquired quite mature game design experience and reasonable team configuration.

There is also a plan that is so detailed that it even includes the number of toes the boss has.

However, faced with the aggressive Nebula platform, the employees still felt a strong sense of urgency.

After all, the Nebula platform is confident of its unparalleled size and has no intention of hiding anything. Their series of actions in the past two days, such as signing additional exclusive agreements with game manufacturers on their own platform, have made no secret of their targeting of the Youmi Cloud platform.

We are all in the gaming industry, so any major disturbance in the industry would naturally spread quickly to Mihoyo.

This feeling of being targeted made every Mihoyo employee feel suffocated in their hearts.

After half a year of rapid development, Mihoyo's entire gaming department now has more than a thousand people, excluding departments not involved in production such as personnel and logistics.

When faced with the unprecedented large-scale production of "Ring of Jianmu", every employee has put in all their energy, and everyone is working hard towards a common goal and moving forward at full speed, striving to do their best.

In the first few days, many employees even brought a set of thin blankets. When they felt sleepy, they would just curl up in their chairs and fall asleep, and then continue working when they woke up.

Even An Yi, who never advocated overtime culture, was moved when he discovered this situation. He quickly added a series of employee benefits and immediately stopped their behavior.

joke!

What kind of Nebula platform is worth my good guys and girls working so hard for?
