Chapter 126: How can the game plot be so grand? The Twelve Apostles make their debut!(1/2)
Junyue’s senior executives roughly read the two game plans.
From framework to settings, art suggestions, map guidance, role and skills presets, etc., as always, most of the details were included, which made the heads of various departments start to worry about Chu Jun's body while amazed.
Junyue's company is very different from other companies.
Although all departments are talent elites in the game industry, almost all the game development needs to rely on Mr. Chu alone.
Once Mr. Chu fell down due to overwork, his group of people could only stare at him.
"Mr. Chu develops games with high intensity...it can be eaten or not..." Some employees looked at the detailed plan book with nearly 100,000 words, and their eyes showed a little concern.
"I feel that Mr. Chu's daily life is not very regular. He often sees him eat some buns in the morning, and sometimes he comes to the company just to catch up with the progress. He occasionally eats fast food with our employees at noon and at night." Xu Nianqing, as the person who has contacted Chu Jun the most in the company, frowned slightly and felt a little distressed.
"In private, I have never seen Mr. Chu talk about his girlfriend. My family lives close to Mr. Chu. I met Mr. Chu several times on the road while resting. He was alone every time. Looking at this store and walking around that store, I felt pitiful. I would have been able to find a girl who takes care of him."
Some employees just finished speaking.
Everyone turned their eyes to the little loli aside.
Tang Wangyue was wandering around, fiddling with her fingernails. Suddenly, she heard that everyone in the conference room was silent. She looked up in surprise and found that everyone was looking at her.
"What do you think I'm doing..."
"Speaking of this, only Mr. Chu recommended it to all the employees of our company, right?"
"What's the relationship between Wangyue and Chu? You can't be a cousin, right?"
"I seem to have encountered Wangyue at the entrance of President Chu's community several times before. Is it the same community as President Chu? Could it be..."
"And, there is a word "mon" in Junyue Company, tsk tsk tsk tsk."
A group of people were forced to force each other, and Tang Wangyue suddenly turned red and waved her hands.
"No...no..."
Seeing a group of people's eyes that they didn't believe at all, she sighed helplessly.
Explain the situation in every detail.
At first, when he heard Tang Wangyue and Chu Jun live together, the group of people suddenly burst into a smirk of "Hmm?"
However, later I heard Tang Wangyue say that Mr. Chu is not close to women at all. At home, except playing games and developing games, everyone's expressions were confused.
"Damn... there are really people who are not close to women... Mr. Chu is a saint." Peng Yuyan said dazedly.
Zhao Bingbing hummed: "Do you think everyone is like a erotic leader like you. Mr. Chu is called self-discipline. Women will only affect the speed of his development of the game!"
"Is there a possibility? Mr. Chu just doesn't like loli? Let Xiao Songjia go, Xiao Songjia is between loli and woman."
The front desk girl Song Jia shook her head with a red face: "I can't do it. I will help sign a courier except for serving tea and water... I can't even cook food..."
"Speaking of it..." Xu Nianqing paused for a moment before speaking: "I know a best friend who is very beautiful and the kind of lady from a family. He has a very gentle personality, speaks softly and has a very good cooking skills. His family is clean every day. Every time he goes to her house to play, I am afraid of getting her house dirty... Then she is a translator, proficient in languages from seven or eight countries, has a good income, and has a very wealthy family."
"This is good, this is good! The master's support template!" The employees started to cheer.
Seeing a group of employees caring about Mr. Chu’s love affairs, Ling Tianhang was amused and crying.
"Cough cough." He coughed twice and brought the employees' attention back to him. Ling Tianhang said: "Put these things to the back, let's start the game development first. Mr. Chu must also hope that we can put the game production on the agenda as soon as possible."
"The plan for the Bengfai Academy is handed over to Director Chen of the Jiangzhong branch. Is there any problem with Director Chen?"
"No problem, Mr. Ling! I happen to be very interested in the lottery system mentioned by Mr. Chu! I will find a way to improve it!" Chen Pingjie was ready to go to the other end of the video.
Previously, Mr. Chu developed several stand-alone games in a row, all of which were bought out, which made Chen Pingjie deeply regretful.
Now it's finally the online game's turn, and Chen Pingjie is already impatient.
"Okay, next is the framework about the dungeon and the Warriors." After Chen Pingjie hung up the video and started to arrange the work of the Jiangzhong branch, Ling Tianhang lowered his head and turned the plan to the first page.
When he was browsing the project content quickly, he discovered a problem.
"This time Mr. Chu proposed a new concept, a complete online game, that is, an online game with an ending. This is the first time I have heard of this concept."
"First of all, the advantages of the finished online game are very obvious. It will not be like other online games that write plots while launching new versions, and it is prone to eating books."
"Secondly, players' evaluation of online games has always been lower than that of stand-alone players. If the online game can also be completed, players' expectations for the ending will continue to deepen in the continuous update. According to Mr. Chu, the final online game will not be weak in the middle and late stages. On the contrary, the later stage, the more enthusiastic players will wait for the ending version to come."
"But the disadvantages also exist, because if the online game exists and ends, players may not be willing to spend money. Mr. Chu did not mention the solution in the planning book. What do you have any opinions? You can discuss it."
If you do online games that are constantly updated, it is all nonsense to say that you don’t want to make money.
However, the finished online game will undoubtedly affect the player's share of krypton gold.
After all, players don’t know how many versions you can make in the future. I will recharge now. Even if I dominate the entire server, how many versions will I enjoy?
Junyue's senior executives had another heated discussion on this, but in the end they were unable to give a suitable solution.
It seems that there is a conflict between the finished online game and krypton gold when born.
This may be the reason why all online games on the market have never had staged plot completions, but there is no real plot completion.
Not to mention online games, even if they are stand-alone games, if they are sold well, they will expand all-round content from the main perspectives of prequels, posts, and other characters in the game.
But the plan given by Mr. Chu this time clearly stated that "Dungeon and the Warriors" is a finished online game, and after the version is released, no extended version will be released.
This surprised Ling Tianhang a little.
"Did Mr. Chu not counting these?" Ling Tianhang said in his heart.
Perhaps it was because of the high-intensity creation that made Mr. Chu both physically and mentally exhausted, which led to such small mistakes?
It's not impossible to understand.
After all, the employees have just obtained the plan, and it is still time to change it in the near future.
When the general direction is towards the final online game and remedial it is done at that time, the plot line that runs through the game itself will appear very stiff and strange.
"Okay, it's still late today. After you go back, you will take a closer look at the planning book. You will think carefully about how to neutralize the conflict between the finished online game and the player's krypton money. Let's go to the meeting." Ling Tianhang looked up at his watch. It was already evening. He had an old friend for dinner in the evening and announced the meeting. However, he did his best to remind everyone to read the plan in detail after going back.
———
A tavern on the corner.
Ling Tianhang did not choose to take his old friends whom he had known for more than 20 years to a high-end hotel.
While drinking wine, looking at the bustling passers-by on the street through the glass window is also a kind of style.
"Why did you suddenly remember Jiang Hua?" Ling Tianhang smiled while helping Zhao Min pour wine.
"The publishing house has moved to Jianghua, so I must come with you and visit you along the way." Zhao Min reached out and lightly lit the table: "Enough is enough, I can't drink so much, and your brother and sister have to nag again when they go back."
"Editor Zhao Da is here to make a fortune in Jianghua."
Facing Ling Tianhang's laughter, Zhao Min sighed slightly: "It's not as good as you do in the past. Especially the fantasy market is getting worse and worse. My monthly income is probably not as high as your game commission. I would have known that I would have been with you back then."
"Even the editor-in-chief of the largest fantasy publishing house in the country is just making a living, and the Chinese fantasy writers may have to starve to death." Ling Tianhang laughed again.
"Oh, the market is in a downturn, there is no way." Zhao Min picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank it, and subconsciously frowned, and waited for the spicy spirit to slow down before smacking his lips: "Brother Hang has been doing well recently. I have seen the news about Junyue Company in many places during this period, and the limelight is booming."
"It all depends on our company's Mr. Chu, and my old face is also a big deal." Ling Tianhang said humbly, and then thought of something again: "By the way, Lao Zhao, please help me see a plan? Just look at the plot part."
The contradictory troubles of the completion online game and player consumption have always made Ling Tianhang very confused, but he is not sure whether Mr. Chu is resting now and dare not disturb too much.
When he got off work, he asked Song Jia to print out the game plot and settings for himself and prepare to go home and study it carefully.
If you want to perfectly resolve conflicts, art, sound effects, maps, skills and moves, these are all secondary. You must make players feel immersive so that you can truly retain players.
The style of Witch House is not high-quality, but it wins by combining novel game settings and plots.
There is a ready-made editor-in-chief of the publisher sitting here.
I am idle, so I can just ask Zhao Min to help me read the manuscript.
An old friend who has been with him for more than 20 years, Ling Tianhang knows that Zhao Min acts well and will not do anything out of the ordinary.
There are some stinky habits of literati, and as long as laymen mention literature, they can easily attract his contempt.
However, Zhao Min’s more than 20 years of editing experience is not in vain, and the opinions mentioned are also very sophisticated.
Of course, Ling Tianhang also keeps in mind the company's regulations.
I only took out a few short pages of the plot and some game settings. I would like to ask Zhao Min for help with reference.
"Game plot?"
As expected.
When he heard this, Zhao Minwen's fault of being neglected again, and he immediately smiled and shook his head: "Brother Hang, it's not that I don't want to watch it for you, but where does the game come from the plot?"
"Aren't most of them cut all the way to the end, and then constantly obtaining equipment and constantly upgrading?"
"Although there have been many new types of games in recent years, and I have occasionally learned about some of them, the plots of those so-called fighting games and tower defense games are very short and capable. There are also Dyson Balls, which have been popular these days, and Mario. My son is playing both games. I also watched them by the side, but there is almost no plot. There are only a few short narration explanations."
"In my opinion, it seems more like a forced and randomly fabricated a story that fits the background of the game."
It’s not that Zhao Min thinks about the game industry like this.
In the eyes of most laymen, the niche culture of games is a marginal culture that has no plot, is relatively empty in appearance, and is purely just a marginal culture that serves to please players.
"You can read it first. I'm quite worried about giving some advice, but I can't figure out where the problem is. Mr. Chu has been busy recently and is embarrassed to disturb him." Ling Tianhang took out a small stack of A4 ordering paper from his bag and placed it on the table.
"Brother Hang, let's say that. I came here today just to drink and chat with you. I have to review and vomit every day when I go to work. Just let me go." Zhao Min said with a wry smile.
"Just take a few glances, it's a fantasy background, your old job."
