Chapter 173 New Game Development Plan

After enjoying the sumptuous barbecue buffet, everyone's fighting strength was quickly exhausted. Only Xiang Bingbing ate two ice cream desserts in a row, and finally she held her stomach and let out a satisfied burp.

"I've been here in Jiangcheng for so long, and I finally have enough to eat... I'm so happy."

Looking at the table full of clean plates, everyone felt deeply for Xiang Bingbing's strong fighting power and silently mourned for the buffet owner for a while.

Mei Fang looked at Guo Yun's simple small dishes and couldn't help but sigh:

"Guo Yun, you really eat very little now... The girl who always carried Telford chocolate with her before is no longer with us."

"Uh... don't make fun of me about what happened in the past."

"This is not making fun, this is recalling the good times in the past, okay?"

Mei Fang was actually very pleased that Guo Yun had such a big change.

In his previous life, he did not stand up for Guo Yun and fight against those who maliciously bullied and mocked Guo Yun. Only when they parted did he realize that she valued her relationship with him so much that she always had some small regrets.

But now she is living a good life, with some little help from herself. Mei Fang is very relieved to know this.

Not to mention that she is now one of Mei Fang's most important art connections.

"When I was in junior high school, I was actually always afraid of going to school because I knew everyone would always laugh at me openly or secretly. I also had times when I wanted to change, but I was always undecided. As a result, I was laughed at all the time, and then

I’ve never been able to make friends.”

Guo Yun said seriously, "But since I met Mei Fang, the monitor and Yuan Yuan and you guys, and played games with you, school suddenly became interesting. Sometimes I feel really lucky, and you guys don't mind me either."

I am……"

Guo Yun suddenly blushed as she spoke, "Well, I'm being pretentious all of a sudden. It seems a bit embarrassing. You should just pretend that I didn't say it!"

"Hmph... That's understandable. There's nothing to be ashamed of, Yunyun."

Xia Yuan held her chin and smiled, "Even if you don't lose weight, you still have your own shining points. You have a good personality and are good at drawing. Sooner or later you will be popular."

"I think so too." Lin Youxi nodded at the side, "You are now the only artist in Similu Studio. If we want to produce a game, we need your performance."

"Well... I know this, and I will continue to work hard. I can't let everyone down, nor can I let down Mei Fang's expectations of me."

Xia Yuan pulled Mei Fang's arm at this time, "By the way, Ah Fang, do you have anything related to new games that you want to talk to Yunyun about today?"

"Well, this is business. I need to talk to her later. If you don't want to hear it, you can go shopping or something. There aren't many opportunities to come to the city."

Xiang Bingbing nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I plan to go shopping with Xiaoyu. Do you want to go together?"

Xia Yuan immediately shook his head, "Later... Bingbing, you and Xiaoyu go shopping first, I have to listen to things related to game development together."

"What about Youxi?"

Lin Youxi shook his head, "I am also with Yuanyuan Afang."

Now that a new game is being developed, the three giants of Similu Studio must understand the subsequent development process together.

Um!

That's it!

It’s not that the student who came to supervise Guo Yun wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to be alone to launch an offensive against our Al Fang!

Although Guo Yun's appearance has improved a lot, according to A Fang's preferences, there should still be a lot missing.

Xia Yuan stared at Guo Yun's back and thought.

If she continues to exercise, she may indeed get a very toned and attractive figure one day, but by then it will definitely be too late.

After all, our Al Fang is not that vulgar and lustful person.

He will definitely cherish the relationship we have had for so many years.

After Xia Yuan figured it out, he walked arrogantly, and even directly grabbed Mei Fang's arm and kissed her closely.

Walking around in a shopping mall like this is no different from a young couple.

"Let's sit down at this milk tea shop and refresh ourselves."

Mei Fang looked at the menu and said, "This store has sugar-free green tea, jasmine tea and oolong tea. You should be able to drink it, right?"

Guo Yun nodded, then stood up and took out her wallet and said, "Um...I'll treat you to milk tea this time. I can't always bother you to pay for it."

"Well... that's ok, but that would be disrespectful."

Mei Fang mainly thought of what Xia Yuan said to her. It would be better not to forcefully take the lead here.

Guo Yun ordered milk tea for everyone, and then took out a tablet Expad from her bag. This was the beginning of the tablet legend.

"This is a conceptual design drawing that Mei Fang asked me to draw with reference to some art works. It includes characters and scenes. You can take a look to see if there is any that you find more attractive."

Mei Fang took Guo Yun's tablet and began to appreciate Guo Yun's collection of works with Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan.

"Afang, why did you ask Guo Yun to draw these? What kind of concept design drawing is..."

"In the early stages of game development, we need to decide on an art style. We first come up with an idea, get some concept drawings from the artist, and then find an art style that better fits our ideas, and then start the creation of a new game."

"It sounds much more complicated than the previous games. A Fang, are you trying to make a very powerful game?"

"As for the size, it will be a matter for the future. It is better to look at the resources we have before making a decision."

The concept design drawings given by Guo Yun have three styles: low-polygonal characters and scenes; early cel-style painting characters; and fine-grained pixel art style.

The first previous masterpiece that Mei Fang wanted to benchmark was "Monument Valley". In the early days of U3D development, this low-polygon 3D style of scenes and characters was very recognizable compared to traditional game works. To put it simply,

It will have a "little fresh" feeling.

Celluloid style is a very popular painting style in the early 21st century. Many of Hayao Miyazaki's works, as well as well-known animations such as "Cowboy Bebop" are all made in cel style.

This kind of work has many layers, bright colors and blocky shapes. When you take it out, it will have a very delicate feeling, so the drawing cost is also very high. It is suitable for making some galgames or RPG games with heavy plots.

The third type of fine-grained pixels has smaller color blocks and action surfaces than most traditional pixel works on the market today.

It is said that it is a traditional pixel, but actually compared to those very early FC games, there are actually not many benchmarking products on the market at this time.

In the early 2010s, everyone was very keen on using U3D engine and Unreal Engine to develop next-generation visual technology. As an "outdated" painting style, pixels received relatively little attention.

Of course, after 2016 or 17 years, there are also many pixel works that have become popular again due to their excellent game quality or combined with new 3D pixel technology, such as "Dead Cells", "Celeste" and other works. This is a story for another time.

Mei Fang carefully flipped through Guo Yun's collection of works. Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi couldn't see any clues, so they could only read with Mei Fang silently.

"I think they're all pretty good...Afang, have you decided to start with that style of painting for the new game?"

Mei Fang nodded, then pointed to a character picture in the portfolio and said:

"This role... feels very interesting."

There will be another update later
