Soon, discussions began on the Internet about whether "Face" has a combat system.
If yes, then discuss in detail how to deal with these ghosts.
If you say you don't have one, you will be ridiculed by the crowd, saying that you play too few games and just go home to make up for it.
Its popularity remains high, occupying the top position on major game websites.
The game "Jungle Cry" has completely faded out of the public eye.
Even if Danmaku.com has UP as a strategy video, the comments below are still fun to watch.
They all made jokes that couldn't even be copied.
This led to a sudden death in sales that could not even be saved, making Jiyou.com once again the target of players to open champagne.
At this time, in a technology park in Bincheng, Mr. An, CEO of Jiyou Network, looked at the financial report with an ugly face.
He directly asked one of the five major studios, Jump Studio, to go to the fifth floor for a meeting on the internal communication network.
Without him, "Jungle" was developed by this studio.
Now that the sales are plummeting, it is natural to ask for clarification.
Yang Ying, the head of the studio, felt a thump in his heart after receiving the news, and sighed in his heart, what was supposed to come has indeed come...
When the company established this project, he knew something bad would happen.
First, the team has no experience in making horror games. They don’t know how to write stories or what kind of scary techniques to use. The word atmosphere is full of question marks.
Second, the project development cycle is too short, only two months...
None of my peers would believe this development time, and even people from other studios thought it was a fantasy.
But it happened that the Jump Studio he was responsible for took over...
It made him want to point at the senior management and curse: Damn it! Do you know how to play games?
Yang Ying sighed, stood up, looked around at his colleagues, and shook his head.
Then the chief planner, chief engineer, and chief artist were called to the conference room on the fifth floor.
As soon as I entered, I saw the president, Mr. An, sitting at the main seat with a calm face, looking at the documents in his hand as if nothing had happened.
This made several people feel uneasy and uneasy.
The calm before the storm!
Yang Ying and the others found a seat to sit down and waited quietly for Mr. An to speak, but he kept staring at the documents in his hands and there was no response for a long time.
Yang Ying and others felt stressed in the conference room of Nuo University.
So under the eyes of the chief planner and others, he, as the person in charge, had to bite the bullet and ask.
"Mr. An...?"
His voice was small and his tone was cautious.
After all, Mr. An in front of me is famous for looking at KPIs. There once was a very capable supervisor in the company, but his bonus was deducted because the KPIs for that month were not up to standard. So Mr. An directly disbanded the team and put him in In other groups, he would leave over time.
It can be said that Mr. An is a completely inhumane leader.
When he heard someone calling him, the CEO raised his head, glanced at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Yang Ying.
This put the latter under pressure again.
Simply, Mr. An's eyes did not look much, but moved to the document in his hand again, which made several people feel relieved.
"Gong Yang, let me ask you how many people there are in Jump Studio now."
Mr. An's voice was flat and emotionless, and he didn't look at them, but he gave them a feeling of being judged.
Yang Ying hesitated for a moment before answering the question.
"Counting us, there are 32 people."
Mr. An nodded and continued to ask.
"So with so many people, plus the 1.2 million budget approved by the company, how many sales of "The Jungle Book" can be made, you tell me."
Yang Ying suddenly felt a headache.
The sales problem is also something that has kept him awake these days.
Because there were so few sold, so few that he was embarrassed to answer now.
But if the president asks, he has to say it, right?
So Yang Ying took a deep breath and whispered the sales data.
"...1408 sets."
"1408, huh."
Mr. An answered immediately with a calm tone.
This reaction only gave Yang Ying and others an increasingly uneasy feeling.
"Tell me, with a development budget of more than one million yuan and more than 30 people, how did you make this kind of game? This does not include the more than 400,000 yuan in publicity and distribution expenses."
Yang Ying scratched his head and glanced at the chief planner beside him. Seeing that he shook his head helplessly, he had no choice but to answer bravely again.
"Mr. An, this has nothing to do with the large number of people and the small number of people. The main reason is that the development cycle is insufficient. This kind of game with a lot of details and gameplay really needs time to polish. But in 2 months of development time, we have put all our efforts into it. That's all. A game like this will take at least a year..."
"Then why can others do it in such a short time?"
Mr. An interrupted Yang Ying without hesitation, and moved his eyes away from the document in his hand to look at him.
"Others are developed by one person, but you are developed by more than 30 people. Your advantage in numbers is still not worth the time period? You can't compare with others by one month?"
Yang Ying and others' eyes widened immediately, and they couldn't believe that the president in front of them actually believed this statement!
one person? A month? It's obviously a gimmick!
Why did Mr. An really believe it...?
They looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
Mr. An was not in a hurry. He crossed his arms and stared at them, waiting for an explanation.
Yang Ying glanced at Master Cheng and motioned for him to answer this technical question.
The latter looked ugly, but still opened his mouth to explain.
"Mr. An, we have analyzed the game "Dark Forest". Let's not talk about the art, plot and numerical setting. In terms of technical ability alone, it is impossible for one person to make it in one month. size. There must be a group behind this..."
However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Mr. An with a wave of his hand.
"I asked you not to brag about how powerful others are, but to tell me, what should you do now in the face of this situation?"
Mr. An put down the document in his hand with a very unhappy expression.
"Do you know why you stopped the "Force of War" project? It's because the horror genre is showing signs of becoming a big hit! If you enter this empty market early, you can get a share of the cake early. Look at that dark forest or Isn’t it true that a dark game can achieve both word-of-mouth and sales success? Others can do it, so why can’t we, a technical game player, do it? That’s why I asked you to stop the shooting games in your hands and quickly study and analyze the structure of the Black Forest game. , copy another one and come in to test the waters."
Mr. An stood up and lit a cigarette.
In the conference room, only people in his position dared to smoke here.
"I originally thought that with your level, I could produce a decent finished product, and then with the company's publicity channels and reputation, I would be able to get my money back even if the sales were not good. This way I figured out the market. Under such circumstances, the next game can be launched early and focused on development. But what is the result? Only 1,408 units sold? Is it to blame that the development cycle given by the company is not enough? "
After Mr. An finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the few people who never responded, he shook his head.
"The problem you have now is that your KPIs lag far behind other groups. Before "Force of War" was released, "Jungle" failed first. At the same time, many companies are now eyeing the horror game market. Yours This game has been designated as a stepping stone for others. And that only game is about to release a new game soon, so what should we use to get in."
"Since you said the development cycle given by the company is short, that's fine. The company has given you a new opportunity."
He picked up the document he was looking at earlier and slid it across the conference table, right in front of Yang Ying.
The latter was confused, reached out to pick it up, opened it, and his eyes suddenly widened.
Mr. An saw him pick it up and continued to speak.
""Jungle" is regarded as the company's failure to test the water, and the superiors have admitted it. You should also have experience in making horror games now, so I will give you a second chance. Now the superiors have spared no effort to issue a second budget approval document. 6.65 million. If you want to create an original high-quality horror game to enter the market, you don’t have to ask for high sales, but you must gain the reputation of those people who only know how to play games and lay the foundation for future projects.”
Yang Ying looked at the budget document in his hand, and then at the chief planners. Under the pressure of the second chance, an unprecedented idea for a horror game came into his mind.
...
On the Internet, although the sales of "Jungle" are not good, its price remains unchanged at 168 yuan. It can be said that the technical game is determined to maintain the same.
This can only make netizens say in admiration, "I really have you, Jiyou." '
How can you save face after everything is so bad?
On the other side, the only game, Meng Shu, is polishing the game carefully in a development engine that can be used by monkeys.
"Face" has been developed, and this is the third time he has polished it.
Although with the help of the system, the game has no bugs and does not require much polishing, the problem lies in the horror experience.
The reason is that when he tried it out while wearing VR, he was shocked by the extremely realistic atmosphere inside!
This is another gaming experience different from the computer screen!
Especially when his San value was lowered during the test and the resentful spirits came out to hunt him, the sense of despair and hope of survival that he experienced was unparalleled.
Even he couldn't help but feel a little nervous and afraid.
You must know that Meng Shu himself has played through the game once before, and he knows exactly where there are high-energy points in the game and where there are plot triggers.
If even he has this kind of fear.
Then the players can't be worse off?
In fact, Xia Nianzhen was so scared that she cried when she tried it out.
Therefore, if players are allowed to play with a confused expression of 'I am a newbie', it may have the opposite effect...
Therefore, he repaired it over and over again, trying his best to optimize and improve some of the too scary parts, so as not to cause problems for people.
In this way, time passed day by day, and the day before the release date, "Face" was finally completed!
