Chapter 1599 The game that will be done and the game that almost disappeared(1/2)
Now I'm looking for a corpse, and I'm sure I'm lying in the body.
"Thank you... for your hard work..."
Senxia looked at the group of people with a cold sweat on her face.
After class, they were dragged to the Xishiyan Academy by Qianjia, just to make the first chapter of the game in December.
This is not an easy thing.
Although there are already templates, it is not easy to make a game.
Moriya put down the big pot in her hand: "This is chicken soup."
When Sen Xia came, please ask Xiyan to squat a pot of chicken soup.
He had known before that everyone had worked very hard, but he didn't expect that when they came, they were all lying on their bodies.
"Everyone has tried their best."
Aso Qian crawled over weakly.
His eyes were already blurred, and he couldn't see clearly if he wanted to see the things in front of him, so he had to rest for a while. As for others, he was looking at the computer screen numbly in front of the computer.
Everyone was very excited and happy at the beginning.
But now, no excitement is gone.
At this moment, they were looking at the computer screen here, without any fluctuations in their hearts.
"Oh, Morika." Qianjia also came over at this time.
She had just gone out to wash her face and was quite energetic at this moment.
"Senior sister, this is the chicken soup made by Xiyan." Senxia said.
"Well, it's all right. I've been working hard these days. What's the situation with Juhar?" Qianjia was still concerned about the outside.
"Well, as I expected, they were spending a lot of money, as expected," said Senxia. "I took out some money here and planned to make some support plans for a major Eastern country. I am doing very well now."
"Is that right?" Qianjia picked up a bowl of hot chicken soup and started drinking it. Monaguchi also brought a bowl of chicken soup to the others.
When Monaki came back, Qianjia asked again: "What's going on in the a club?"
"It's okay. But the game development cycle is getting longer and longer, so there may be several production teams there."
After entering the new century, the development cycle of games is getting longer and longer. It takes several years for 3A-level masterpieces to be produced. It is almost impossible to make a large-scale game in one or two years just like before.
Therefore, in order to make the company's R&D proceed smoothly, the major studios under A Club need to "dividend".
I had a wave of divisions before, but that was just a rough allocation, which was to allocate Miyazaki Hideo and others.
In fact, there are still many things that are mixed in the internal side, especially at the headquarters.
When the size is small, there is actually no problem in doing this. Everyone can help each other to improve efficiency.
However, if the company becomes larger and continues to be so unclear, the situation will become more subtle and the team may become more bloated.
"Well, I agree with this, too."
Qianjia finished drinking the chicken soup, waved to Moriya, and then closed her eyes.
Morixia shook her head gently, walked over, and skillfully began to help Qianjia massage her temples.
"How is fr_softare?" Qian Jia asked again.
"The acquisition has been completed, and now it's all about to start the game of Evangelion."
The game Evangelion is the game I mentioned before with Hideaki Anno.
This game has been preparing to be done here before.
But at that time, the A-Socie was not prepared much.
But at this time, Morika thought of this FS club.
This is Miyazaki Hidetaka's "old boss" in another world line, but in this world line, this company was acquired by Miyazaki Hidetaka.
I can only say that this kind of change in the world line is really magical and interesting.
"I have given several versions of the plan over there." Morika thought for a while, then sorted out.
"The first set of solutions is to produce them according to the content of the animation plot. The main plot is to replicate from the animation plot, focusing on the scenes and expressions of the battle scenes, and the focus is on combat. It is considered to be the feeling of an act game that pays more attention to expressiveness."
"The second set of plans is the escape series they thought of based on the practices we proposed before. This plan mainly tells the story of ordinary protagonists who are not drivers who escape from the disasters of huge evas and apostles. This set of stories focuses more on plot logic."
"The third plan is to take Shinji Ikari as the protagonist, but it mainly tells the story of a young man taking a girl to escape from Eva and the apostle, and focuses on the stream of consciousness and expression."
Morixia explained the plan given there.
Moriya and Chika have also given some plans before.
But that is all the strategies we all think of before the acquisition.
When it comes to game production, there are always many solutions.
It is hard to say what to do and what to do.
"So, what are you going to do?" Qian Jia asked casually.
"Well, I consulted Superintendent Anno, but he said...I want it all."
"I didn't hear it clearly, or are you crazy, Mori Nakajun?"
"Uh, what I said is true. I invited Supervisor Anno to have a meal yesterday, and he said he wanted it all."
"..." Qian Jia opened her eyes and looked at Moriya, then closed her eyes again. She had seen through everything: "He is short of money."
"It's true."
Anno is short of money.
He is going to take away the copyright of Evangelion himself and to do a new theatrical animation company.
However, he was short of money.
So at this time, after hearing that there were three plans, he decided to make all of them.
Because of this, Anno can get three rewards.
Anno is not a person who doesn't understand games at all. After all, their own company has developed a very classic DreamWorks series before, and various subsequent breeding plans.
But Anno is really short of money this time.
"What about you, what are you going to do?" Qianjia asked again.
"It is best to do a complete reproduction of the plot, and then there is no problem telling the type of Evangelion escape when ordinary people encounter Evangelion's escape. In fact, both types of games can only be considered medium-sized games at most, and they can be almost released in one year of development time." Morika said, "The last plan is more subtle. The world of this plan has been almost destroyed, and then Shinji Ikari wants to save Ling Boli in this world. Such a story means we need to completely remodel, redesign the story, and restructure a new system..."
Morika is best at action games.
As for the second type of escape game, there are many references. In fact, "The Beast of the Deadly City" will be launched at the beginning of next year, and there will be a platform on Moriya, so Moriya knows some related experiences.
However, the third type is a story about continuing to develop new game routes. This story is more subtle.
“So let’s do the first two first?”
"No, let's do the third type directly, and then do the first two after the first two."
"Hey? Why is the third one directly?" Qianjia asked strangely.
"Because this development time is the longest!" Morika explained helplessly, "But Superintendent Anno hopes to see the game in 2004, so..."
It took more than two years and nearly three years to develop such a game, and it was quite time to do it.
But if you make two other games first and go back to do this, the game may be more subtle.
"What are you going to do?"
"…I found a producer and prepared to wait for his plan."
Morixia's expression is quite subtle.
"Who is it?"
"That person is called Ueda Minren."
Yes, Ueda literati.
The kind man Ueda Mitsuru was once the developer of the well-known game "Wanda and the Colossus".
Moriya originally thought that this guy was at Sony.
But he then found that the situation seemed to have changed a little from what he imagined.
The butterfly's wings...became another producer.
Ueda Mitsuru joined ARP company in 1995 and participated in the production of the game "Strange Spirit" produced by Kenji Iino at that time.
This is similar to the original world line.
However, what happened was the following.
In the original world line, he probably joined SCE as a producer in 1997 and produced games such as "Ionic", "Wander and the Colossus".
However, in this world line, the situation is different.
To be continued...
