Chapter 1862: The restart of production
"This is probably what I work at Animic. I am currently mainly making decisions about future games. Except for some things I have to design myself, I am all doing the rest of my subordinates."
Senxia is explaining her current main work to Chaoyan.
Chaoyan listened carefully to Sen Xia’s explanation. Chaoyan was still very serious in his work.
"One of our biggest competitors right now - I mean at the game level, it's Blizzard. But we're not exactly a confrontational relationship, but we're not that close."
Blizzard, which makes World of Warcraft, is definitely the biggest enemy of Animic's online game department.
Although the decision to compete misalign, it is still a war between online games and online games, and this gap is far smaller than the difference between different console platforms.
"You can adapt now. Your main job is to help me arrange the schedule here, and summarize everyone's opinions and ideas, etc. The specific business is usually left to Lihua, but I will control the larger decisions myself. By the way, you should also understand the asset situation of Animic. We are planning to establish a holding company, and some of the companies below may be listed..."
"Okay." Chao Yan remembered it.
Some companies in Senxia do need to go public. For game companies and some marginal companies, listing is not a problem. However, in order to prevent shareholders from asking for investment returns in turn, the core is that they cannot go public.
After all, Senxia is not opening a company to make money, but to change the world.
Set a small goal.
"Understood."
"Then let me say that our focus now is online games and mobile games. Several other studios will be responsible for other stand-alone masterpieces, but this is the main thing in our company at the moment."
There are several studios here in Morika, but none of them are in Tokyo or even in China.
For 3A masterpieces, sometimes it is better to disturb fewer people.
It is actually not a simple thing to do with 3A masterpieces. It is still good in this era. In a few years, with the popularization of 3D technology, it will be difficult to produce such games in less than a few years.
"Well, okay, we should almost go to the Order of the Phoenix. There are still many things to explain to you."
It is mainly cooperation with a major oriental country.
Judao has been paying more and more attention to the market of a major Eastern country recently, but with the emergence of Kirin computers, other markets have been squeezed out.
In addition, the pressure that may exist in the Lighthouse Country may make things complicated, so things must be explained clearly now.
However, the Tianhai family has been in the 25th century since the beginning, and Senxia seems to have inherited some family talents. In this regard, Senxia is still a good title of "the old friend of the people".
Hey, wait, we are so young now, and the national husbands seem to be good. But when you think about it, people with the title of another world line always feel that their names are very subtle...
...
"Anyway, it's almost settled."
After Morikazu left, Ichiro Kuroshima pulled the core production staff to hold another meeting.
"Teacher Xia Sen basically agreed with our plan." Kuroshima Ichiro said, "The opinions on personality are probably these..."
Ichiro Kuroshima organized the statement and plan of Mori Naka and wrote it on the whiteboard.
"Fashion, futuristic, cool...Black silk, white silk, tights...Metal texture, plastic texture, gloss..."
Monaya has put forward many needs.
"Anyway...we may need a fashion designer now, no, several. We need street style, fashion style and many special styles."
In short, clothes must be designed to be able to "wear out".
This is not an easy thing to do, because being able to "wear out" often means that the design of the clothing is not distinctive enough. It is precisely because it is not so unique that it can "wear out".
It is not that easy to grasp this degree.
The "degree" in this must be grasped by the production team.
A group of people looked at me and I looked at you, and at this time they were trapped in thinking.
There is no way, the boss... do it.
In fact, they also think that the way Senxia said it was actually quite surprising.
"In addition, we can also make appropriate reductions in combat systems, and things that are too complex can be removed. But we must grasp the core of our content."
If it is not necessary, do not add entities.
In terms of operation, the simpler the better. Morika even mentioned that games can be imitated with hero trajectories, three skills and one ultimate move... However, Ichiro Kuroshima persuaded him to go back.
This is the case in this era. People sometimes feel that "operated" games are professional enough to play. If they are too simplified, players will be in doubt.
Simple is not simple. A simple UI is prone to some mental retarded problems... For example, a game with "darkness" more than ten years later came. It is obviously powerful in technology, but there are always some mental retarded problems...
In short, some things need to be adapted to the times, and Morika still agrees with Ichiro Kuroshima in this regard.
"Anyway, our design is almost like this." Kuroshima Ichiro said, "Well, we have to work hard on art and modeling next."
There is something special about World of Warcraft, that is, the equipment inside is all paper doll system, that is, wearing a piece of equipment, the character modeling will show a little equipment.
This is even better than the A-society here.
Although A Club also has a similar system, the equipment will not be decomposed so finely for the sake of the beauty of the work. Only in the 2D web game will it be so complicated.
There is something very different between online games and stand-alone games.
In stand-alone games, players play a certain role, while in online games, players play themselves most of the time.
This determines that more refined equipment can make players feel more immersive.
In the early days of online games, people are not as casual as people have been playing online games more than ten or twenty years later. Especially in Europe and the United States, many players care more about the experience of playing. At this time, there is a special RP server - that is, role-playing server. In this kind of server, players' communication and speaking need to be imitated in the world view of the game, so that they can completely play a role in the game world.
"Okay, let's start working hard. Our work is not an easy task."
