Chapter 362 Will it become an OEM again in the end?
Sandbox mowing game, modern western background?
Yang Chen was a little curious.
Lin Jiayi continued: "There is no doubt that the great success of "Second Wolf: Shadow Falls" will also make many game manufacturers focus on its characteristics."
Yang Chen nodded gently.
What are the characteristics of "Second Wolf: The Shadow Dies Second"?
A smooth combat system, ant hole-like three-dimensional map design, or the elements of stealth and assassination are well combined?
Obviously not. As the most well-known and easy point for players to have an impression, that is, the difficulty of the game.
"It is not that easy to achieve this characteristic." Yang Chen said with a smile.
From a certain perspective, "Second Wolf: The Shadow Dies Second" can be regarded as a reference and polished by him from his dream memory.
But one thing to note is that the game quality of "Second Wolf: Shadow Falls" is very industrialized.
Whether it is the action design in the game, the impact of the game, including the difficulty design, it can be said that it is all made by burning money.
Moreover, the money burned was only when he had the memory of the mature game "Second Wolf: Shadow Falls" that he could burn it.
It is not that easy for other game manufacturers to create one too.
"There will always be someone doing it." Lin Jiayi smiled: "And I think after players suffer, a mowing game may make players feel good, and the sales will not be too bad."
Without saying that he wanted to create a classic work, Lin Jiayi expressed a very pragmatic idea, that is, for sales.
Of course, it’s not that Lin Jiayi doesn’t want to make a classic work like “The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim” and “Metal Equipment: Phantom Pain”.
But on the one hand, he still has a doubt about his ability. At least he doesn't have the participation of game producers and teams at the same level as Yang Chen, and he still feels a little uneasy.
Secondly, the company currently needs a revenue point. Although the previous "Assassin's Creed" was successful, it was only OEM for Nebula Games at that time.
Although Yang Chen also occupies most of the shares of this company, their economy is still quite tight.
Nebula Game has succeeded so many games, and the peripheral products have been laid out, and even the peripheral linkages in figures, clothes, bags and other aspects are enough for them to develop corresponding 3A masterpieces.
And what about them?
Going further to the previous "Assassin's Creed", the main cost of "Resident Evil 2" was also invested in Nebula Games, and most of it was also used in Nebula Games.
To develop a new work, Lin Jiayi currently wants not classics, but to ensure sales.
After following Xu Yu for so long, Yang Chen was not the one who knew nothing at the time. Lin Jiayi said that he guaranteed sales, and Yang Chen understood what he meant.
"Infecting viruses and becoming a superpower, save the world?" Yang Chen listened to Lin Jiayi and briefly talked about the concept of the new game.
"It is considered a traditional kingly plot, and the main core selling point element is not the plot. The powerful and special abilities after mutation and the mowed combat mode are the core selling point." Lin Jiayi explained to Yang Chen.
However, Yang Chen shook his head: "It's a bit too conservative. Compared to this, you might as well make some changes to the plot, such as subverting the character's image."
If you talk about the ability to make games, Yang Chen and Lin Jiayi have their own advantages, and there is still a big gap with game makers like Steven.
But Yang Chen has a big enough advantage over them, that is, he has dream memories, and he is a cheater.
Lin Jiayi and the others can only rely on themselves to think about it, but when Yang Chen was thinking about a game, he could refer to more other games that had proven themselves to prove it to gain the advantages.
This is like someone else’s closed-book exam and he open-book exam.
Listening to Lin Jiayi's description, Yang Chen's name appeared in his dream memory, a game where the first generation sold well and the second generation production team insisted on playing flowers, and then failed and went bankrupt - "The Original Form of Sorrow"
"The essence of the game is action mowing grass. A more special gameplay is that the mutated character of the player can kill the infected person, increase his health to achieve an immortal effect. It sounds quite interesting. As long as the action elements are excellent enough, success is not a difficult task, but it can be more interesting, such as the change in the character plot." Yang Chen said with a smile.
"Personal design is very important for a game, and I don't need to say this. Compared with the traditional kind and orderly protagonist, I think that a villain-like hero will be more in line with the player's taste. Of course, some other elements that attract players can also be added, such as installing a sister role for the protagonist, and the whole plot main line can also revolve around saving the sister. In addition, a character played by the player is not only fighting against the infected person, but also fighting against the human army." Yang Chen said with a smile as he thought about something.
It looks a bit home-like, but the players eat this bite. As long as the plot is not too bloody, the game is too dirty, the modeling and portrait are better, and a reasonable character and voice actor, these two points alone are enough to make players buy.
And in terms of the plot, Yang Chen also has a good idea.
"The virus infected the entire city, just like the Raccoon City in "Resident Evil", and all this is a mysterious organization lurking in the military. They secretly conducted virus experiments in this city. But one day the virus leaked. In order to prevent the virus from spreading completely, they wanted to destroy all this, not only to suppress the spread of the virus, but also to protect them from being exposed. All this goes back to an ancient organization." Yang Chen expressed Lin Jiayi with reference to the content in the dream memory.
"Is it the Templar again?" Lin Jiayi couldn't help but interrupt.
"Don't interrupt me, don't blame the Templar for everything. This is not the linkage part of the IP series. The organization here is an alien organization, just call it Hydra or Hydra." Yang Chen glanced at Lin Jia.
Looking at Yang Chen with some concern, Lin Jiayi, who was sitting there, suddenly felt a little panic.
He just has a rough design concept for the new game, and the plot is just an idea. Of course, it is incomparable to the completeness of the plot that Yang Chen simply narrated.
But roughly speaking, Lin Jiayi had to admit that the plot Yang Chen mentioned seemed to be more operational.
For example, when selling characters, and the key is this kind of plot design, if the plot of the sequel is sold well, it would be very easy to create.
But one thing makes Lin Jiayi panic, that is, this pattern feels a bit familiar!
It won’t be that in the end, they become OEM again!?
Lin Jiayi said that he was panicked.
And inside the Nebula Game, Yang Chen and Lin Jiayi were talking about the plot of "The Original Form" that was transformed.
Online, players who noticed that the latest news from the official blog of Nebula Games were in a state of excitement.
