Chapter 48 Initial Ideas for New Projects
This is a good thing, but also a bad thing.

Although he is confident, Chuhe has to admit that even if there is a system that sends Pigg and Plott to his collection, the technology of Tianhe Network is still incomparable with foreign manufacturers.

Even in the technology of some game fields, even the big domestic manufacturers can't compare.

Blindly pursuing big productions, ambitiously targeting the global market, and wanting to do 3A waiting for them must be failure.

Chuhe has no doubts about this.

After explaining the reason to several people in Xuchang, they also sighed in their hearts and had to admit that this was the truth.

"But for RPG, shall we make a 3D ARPG mode?" Pigg next to him asked.

At present, the mainstream games on the market are basically 3D.

Even some small independent games use 2D representation, but the modeling of the characters in it also uses 3D modeling.

Just like their famine, the 3D of big productions is indisputable.

As for ARPG, it is a branch derived from RPG. Since the birth of the earliest RPG, it has always been performed in a turn-based manner. Until later, game producers and manufacturers strived for breakthroughs and combined action games and RPG. Players can not only experience the fun of action games, but also experience the wonderful plot of RPG games.

The most typical ones are the Japanese-style ARPG "The Legend of Zelda" and the "Diablo" that later sublimated the American-style ARPG.

Even though nearly 20 years have passed, the two original games are still very, very good from today's perspective.

Although the picture can only be said to be a mass of pixel wind, mosaic, and blurry now.

But in fact, this picture was already very good in those days.

"3D is the mainstream trend, and we cannot avoid it. Tianhe's network will continue to expand in the later period, and art will account for the vast majority of it." Chuhe nodded lightly and said.

"According to my idea, the game mode is indeed an ARPG mode, but it's not an action mode for players to manipulate." Chu He shook his head and said.

Action games can be said to be the most skill-testing type of game. If you do it well, you will have a pleasant sense of attack, gorgeous and smooth combos, and even if you do it well, players can completely ignore the plot and simply experience the violence. aesthetics.

But if you don't do it well, it will be a pain in the ass.

Although due to the development of motion capture technology, real people can make the action more smooth and realistic, but if it is not handled well, the so-called motion capture will be useless, and it will not bring players a smooth experience.

Just as there are not no manufacturers in China that use motion capture technology, for example, Penguin and Wangyi have their own motion capture rooms, but the games they make do not look so good because of their technology.

"The specific game operation plan is tentatively determined to be the battle flag operation of Fire Emblem, but it is different from the battle flag grid action of Fire Emblem. I request that anyone on the game map can go forward as long as they have enough physical strength." Go, even if you have enough physical strength, it will always be your turn." Chu He clicked the planning book to the second page.

Regarding the general plan of the game, he already has an idea in his mind, and the rest is to rely on the whole team to supplement and improve the shortcomings in his plan.

"Turn-based, players learn skills through the process of the game, and these skills players need to choose and match, and in the limited actions of their own rounds, they can combine skills, and by playing brilliant combos, it will bring fun to the players Feeling." Xu Chang next to him, Tao Fa and Ye Xun hadn't reacted yet, but Plot's years of experience immediately made him think of the benefits of this operation plan.

Listening to Plott's words, Chu He nodded and looked at the crowd: "Have you ever played Fire Emblem?"

Pigeon, Plott, and Xu Chang nodded, only Tao Fa and Ye Xun were a little embarrassed: "I know it, I know it, but I just watched the video on Youtube, and I haven't played it myself."

"It's okay. It's really an old game. It's really hard to get it now. I'll find a way to get some old games like "Legend of Zelda" and "Fire Emblem". The game will be instructive." Chu He said.

It is true that these games, from the current point of view, have fallen behind, whether it is the graphics or the gameplay itself, but are these games really useless?
Of course not, there are still many things worth learning, not the technology, but the game concept behind it, but the details of the game itself.

When there was no physics engine at the time, why did some games think of using textures to show how the watermelon would shatter after being shot, but some games couldn't think of this?

These are things worth learning for game practitioners.

As for the background of the game, after a brief discussion, everyone has reached a consensus. Instead of using the background of Xianxia, ​​they choose the background of martial arts.

As for why, it's not because there are many elements in consideration, it's just because Lu Zhou, who is in charge of the script design, is more comfortable with the subject of martial arts, but in the future, Chuhe still plans to recruit another person in charge of the script of the game script Lu Zhou's assistant.

There is no need to think too much about the style of the screen. Since I have decided to make a game with martial arts as the background, the best choice for the screen style is to reflect the ink style.

For the style of ink painting, Chuhe intends to re-recruit a special style director for art projects. As for Ding Qian, the original designer of Meishu, she will shift the focus of her work to the page game department.

Firstly, Ding Qian's style did not match, and secondly, the original design of the other party did not meet Chuhe's psychological goal.

After the initial confirmation of the project, all that remains is to recruit people. Although it is not the peak season for recruiting, it is not a small city after all. It is relatively easy to recruit people in Jinling.

Moreover, Tianhe Network doesn't seem to have lost any reputation as before. In the industry, Tianhe Network has already become a new star.

Legend of the Red Moon, Famine, and even today's Tangtantang can be said to be well-known in the game circle.

So when Tianhe Network recruited people, all kinds of resumes and cover letters immediately filled the HR mailbox.

After being selected and interviewed in person, Chuhe recruited a total of 13 people, but what was missing was the art director of the new project.

Among the recruited people were two art designers, but after seeing their works, Chuhe was not too satisfied.

Although they have all been in contact with the original design of martial arts and fairy games before, they are not biased towards the ink style. According to Chuhe's request, they gave a demonstration work, but they can only be said to be qualified, far from reaching Excellent degree.

If you really can't find someone who suits you, then there is no other way, you can only spend more time on the original art in the early stage. After all, the two girls who just came in with the original art still have strength, as long as they find out what they need The style is also able to meet the requirements.

After all, it is really too difficult to find an original artist who can just match my eyes, and the project cannot be delayed indefinitely, and the office space of the new project has also begun to be decorated.

　I have also thought how cool it would be to replace the backgrounds of games like Lao Gun and Wizards with the Chinese cultural backgrounds of martial arts and celestial beings, but unfortunately, I can only play character mods and action mods to enjoy myself. I don't know how many years it takes to see it, but fortunately there are still novels that can make me YY.
