Say Yes To Making Bad Games, What the Hell is Titanfall? Chapter 9

  Chapter 9 Repaying hard

   It's so abstract!

  Shen Miaomiao yelled in her heart that it was outrageous.

  If the previous cat Leo was a piece of **** at first glance, then Gu Sheng's new project is based on the defense.

   After all, Cat Rio is a derivative work of Mario. Regardless of the quality of the game, at least at first glance, you can tell what kind of game it is, what the basic gameplay is, and what the purpose of the game is.

   Available for this new item!

  Shen Miaomiao couldn't even pass Gu Sheng's description and imagine what kind of game it was!

  The bear child is going crazy to die, and the old father tries his best to stop it?

  Where is the playability?

  Shen Miaomiao couldn't figure it out, and was even a little worried about Gu Sheng's mental state.

but!

   There is no doubt that such an inexplicable game has no sales highlights at all.

  The track chosen by Gu Sheng himself is unpopular, and coupled with this evil gameplay setting, it is difficult to think that he will not lose money.

  Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but feel happy.

   Forget it, no matter what kind of game it is, the more outrageous it is, the better it is for her!

   This time, we must make up for the rebates that Cat Leo didn't earn!

   Pay back hard!

  So, nodded:

   "Very good, I like this idea (even though I didn't understand it),"

   "Then Director Gu will start the project. If you have any requirements, feel free to ask, especially in terms of investment. The company will fully support it and will definitely meet it!"

  Good boss!

  Hearing this, Gu Sheng raised his thumb inwardly.

   It is not difficult to see from Nezha's expression since she was a child that she has no understanding of this game at all, and she looks confused and confused.

but!

  Little Nezha still chooses to believe in himself, just like he believed in the teacher's answer in math class. Whether he understands it or not, he just nods and says yes.

  With this boss, what can I ask for in life!

  Gu Sheng vowed secretly in his heart that he must make the company look good, so that he would not be ashamed of his trust in Little Nezha!

  Thinking of this, Gu Sheng nodded:

   "Thank you boss for trusting me. Now that I've said this, I really have a small request."

   "It doesn't matter, you say, the company that can do it will definitely support it."

  Shen Miaomiao nodded, motioned to Gu Sheng but said it was okay.

   Gu Sheng grinned, as if a little embarrassed:

   "That's right, because the volume of this project is much higher than that of Mao Leo, so I think we can appropriately expand the team size,"

   "A complete game team, except for the producer, which is me,"

   "The main program responsible for engine development, program operation and maintenance, and the main artist responsible for scene UI and character modeling are also required. Because some subsequent works may involve commercial secrets, it is not suitable to outsource all projects."

  Actually, he missed one main strategy here.

  The chief strategist is usually responsible for gameplay planning, level design, plot logic structure, etc.

However, due to the existence of the system, the game he redeemed was almost a semi-finished product, including the core gameplay and plot design, so Gu Sheng also served as the chief planner by the way, saving money for the company in disguise, and at the same time ensuring the originality of the game to the greatest extent. Authentic.

  After all, if Gu Sheng holds the dual positions of producer and chief planner, it means that the core structure of the game is completely in his hands, and he is the real giver of the soul of the game.

  After hearing Gu Sheng's suggestion, Shen Miaomiao nodded repeatedly.

good! Very good!

  Our big director has grown up and knows how to spend money on the company!

   Immediately wave your little hand!

   "Director Gu's proposal is very good! This way!"

   Saying that, Shen Miaomiao turned to Chu Qingzhou:

   "Secretary Chu, immediately recruit according to the requirements of the director of care. Experience and ability are required. Salary is not a problem. The more expensive the better!"

To know!

  According to the regulations of the system, as the investment executor, the manager's salary is not involved in the determination of the investment amount, but except for the manager, any personnel input will be regarded as an investment!

   That is to say, the more expensive people under Gu Sheng who participate in the game production!

  The bigger the investment amount is!

  The harder it is to recover the principal!

  The more rebates you get!

  Of course, the employment of personnel must follow a certain market price. You can't hire a dog with a million annual salary, that's considered cheating.

  That's why Shen Miaomiao ordered Chu Qingzhou to recruit talented people as much as possible, so as to increase capital investment.

  However, before Chu Qingzhou agreed, Gu Sheng interrupted:

   "Uh...I mean...maybe we don't have to go through so much trouble?"

  When these words came out, both Shen Miaomiao and Chu Qingzhou were taken aback.

   "What do you mean?" Shen Miaomiao shrugged, not understanding why Gu Sheng made such a statement.

  Seeing Gu Sheng smiled:

   "I mean, compared to recruiting those who have changed jobs many times, the so-called experienced industry elites,"

   "Why don't we cultivate a direct line team that belongs to the company?"

   Direct line team?

   The two people across the conference table looked at each other.

  Chu Qingzhou asked: "Director Gu means recruiting newcomers?"

"right,"

  Gu Sheng nodded:

   "Compared to those so-called 'industry elites', I hope to lead a new team."

  Gu Sheng's consideration can be said to be very thoughtful.

What is this place?

parallel world.

   Specifically, it is a parallel world with poor game creativity and solidified game types.

   Gaming is a creative art industry.

  The so-called 'elites' in this world are just a group of mechanical labor who cannot break free from the shackles of fixed thinking.

  Seeing the success of "Wire of Fire", they decided that the shooting game can only place the crosshair in the middle of the screen, fix the blood volume at 100, and set the target on bomb dismantling.

  Seeing the success of "Extreme Speed", they decided that the driving game can only be racing, the selected vehicles must be cool, all kinds of modifications must be in place, and the pursuit of the ultimate in performance.

   As everyone knows!

  The shooting of firearms can also be aimed at the machine in a realistic manner, and breathing and blood recovery can also speed up the pace of the game, and the game goal does not have to be on the bomb that has been defused ten thousand times.

  Driving games don't necessarily have to be racing. The selected vehicle can also be a heavy truck. The scenery that is ignored in racing can also allow players to experience relaxation and joy.

   There are many, many games that Gu Sheng will launch in the future.

He hopes that his game production team can open their minds and try their best to understand the attributes of the ninth art of the game, instead of always focusing on "whether this game makes money", "this game is not mainstream", "this game has There is no market."

  Games are boring, after all, their essence is composed of 0 and 1, which is a string of tasteless codes.

  At the same time, the game is also wonderful, because in the countless combinations of 0 and 1, it contains the sunset scenery of the Alps, the majesty and magnificence of the Nordic mythology, the passion of becoming a hero to save the world, and the human thinking of seeing the truth through the fog.

   This is the game Gu Sheng loves.

   “So I applied to the company to try out two of my friends who, like me, still maintain a passion for creativity in the games industry.”
