Game Entertainment Empire

As for the sequel to "Resident Evil", there was no surprise that Yang Chen directly handed it over to Lin Jiayi's studio at Shang Hai.

As for the demon hunter story about the 'White Wolf', Yang Chen did have such an idea.

The genre definition of the open world game is actually very broad, and different players also have their own unique views on this type of game.

For example, "The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild" even feels biased towards sandbox-style gameplay, an absolutely free-style game.

Or, like "Red Dead Redemption", a real world is created, and various mini-games and the interaction of various links in this game world bring players a real feeling.

But there is another method besides this, which is to let players immerse themselves in this world through enough branch lines and plot texts, so that players can feel that every time they make a different decision, there will be a chain Reaction.

There is such a game that is like this. Although countless players ridiculed "Sorceress Piledriver" and "Demon Hunter born with calcium deficiency" in the dream memory, there is no doubt that it is definitely a great game. game.

A pure rpg game.

Leaving aside the main gameplay and side plots, it is actually not considered 'open'. It can rely on rich plot content to bring players an immersive experience.

The Witcher 3, that's the name of that game.

With "Red Dead Redemption" and "The Elder Scrolls Skyrim" and "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", Yang Chen felt that a game like "The Witcher 3" was naturally indispensable.

However, compared to "Red Dead Redemption", the plot development of "The Witcher 3" is much more difficult, or in other words, Yang Chen has to do too much work.

Because in "Red Dead Redemption", Yang Chen can let the team be responsible for building various side tasks to ensure that they are different in series.

The great game "The Witcher 3" itself is adapted from the novel. The world view and plot in the game, as well as some side plots, are all connected in series, not purely independent. This is very important for Yang Chen There aren't many ways to steal a chicken anymore.

He has to be fully involved in shaping the plot of the game.

"In a short time, this game won't be released." Stretching his waist, he muttered softly.

After the video conference ends,

Noticing Yang Chen's movement, Wang Yaliang, who was receiving a CG animation finished product of "Overwatch" from the animation cg studio, came to Yang Chen's side.

Looking at a folder named 'White Wolf' just created on the desktop, she asked a little strangely, "Is it a new game? Did you just create a new file?"

"The name of the protagonist of the game, but there is one thing you said wrong. It's not a document, but a folder." Yang Chen said with a cheerful smile.

Hearing Yang Chen's words, Wang Yaliang beside him couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Is this something to be proud of?

"How about the CG animation on Overwatch?" Yang Chen looked at Wang Yaliang and asked.

"It's definitely not possible to achieve this effect by just relying on the real-time calculation of the game." Pointing to the screen on the computer, Wang Yaliang said.

Being an animation cg naturally has its advantages.

In the early games, due to technical limitations, this kind of animation cg was often inserted into the game, and the players at that time were also very excited about it.

Because those pixel style, mosaic, and polygonal characters in the game are definitely eye-catching when they are displayed through cg.

And that is also a reward for game players to clear a certain level.

Later, with the development of technology, the senses of players gradually changed. For example, cutscene CG was gradually replaced by real-time calculation screens. Some players even felt that the insertion of CG was to save money, and real-time calculation was the big production.

In fact, this is also a wrong understanding. Really well-made animation cg is much more expensive than real-time calculation consumption.

In fact, real-time calculation is more cost-effective.

But even so, Yang Chen will not insert cg animation into the game, after all, most players actually hate this kind of situation.

So in addition to some specific games, Yang Chen and his team also pay attention to the immersive experience of players, that is, to understand the plot while playing and participate in it.

…………

In the new month, the honeymoon period of the NetDragon and Phoenix games is completely over. "Dragon and Phoenix Heroes", a game that NetDragon and Phoenix games had placed high hopes on before, failed to cause any disturbance after all.

However, something big happened in the game circle. It wasn't the news about NetDragon, Tenghua, and Phoenix Games' latest open world game.

It was a domestic game manufacturer with a different network, and a big news broke out, violently dismissing its game planner.

In one of its projects, a numerical operation planner wanted to suspend his social security after suffering from a terminal illness, and asked him to sign a labor agreement termination letter.

An article plus audio recordings and other related materials made the news instantly occupy the headlines. Although Yiwang also responded immediately, according to the information it revealed, it was obviously not very convincing.

For the players, this news is obviously not worthy of attention. After all, it has nothing to do with them, but it has caused quite a stir in the game circle.

Domestic first- and second-tier game manufacturers, including NetDragon, Tenghua, Phoenix Games, and Jiasheng, also had a lot of problems.

And as time progressed, Nebula Games, which had been silent for a long time, was also dragged into the water.

"Are we treating our employees poorly?" Yang Chen looked at a headline article on the official blog on the Internet, turned his head and looked at Wang Yaliang who was holding a mask on the bed and said a little speechlessly.

Wang Yaliang, who was sleeping on the bed with a mask on, was obviously too lazy to talk to him, and slowly raised his hand and gave him a thumbs up.

Laughing, Yang Chen turned his attention back to the official blog. In fact, Yang Chen didn't need to respond, because the company's internal PR department had already responded.

Compared with Yiwang's simple restoration of text, the public relations department of Xingyun Games obviously has more confidence.

The chat situation within the company, as well as the anonymous welfare situation, were all directly announced.

Looking at the news on the Internet, Yang Chen smiled and logged on to his official blog, and sent a message.

"Our Xingyun game is also a small workshop company. We barely survive on the love of players. The big benefits are actually nothing. The only thing we can do is to ensure that employees can get their wages on time every month, and occasionally work overtime. A little allowance and overtime pay. In addition, please focus on our product game. '
