Overwatch comes to Marvel

Chapter 87 Development Perimeter
Tried a variety of styles, such as Q version, pixels, simplicity, abstraction, etc., Luo Ning finally decided to follow the simplicity style, and a few strokes can highlight the heroic characteristics.

I don't know how many drafts were scrapped, and finally, under his unremitting efforts, the head portrait of Soldier 76 appeared vividly on the paper.

The outline is formed, and then colored with crayons.

Gray hair, red tactical eyepiece, blue mask outline, distinct colors and distinct features.

Anyone who has seen "Soldier: 76" can tell at a glance that it stands for Soldier 76.

Luo Ning felt that it was very nice, and immediately decided that this is the mark of Soldier 76!
Then he started drawing the sigils for Winston and Reinhardt.

It took an afternoon, and the imprints of Winston and Reinhardt were also drawn.

Winston has a dark gray orangutan face, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, with the same distinctive features. Winston is probably the only gorilla in the Marvel world who wears glasses.

Reinhardt is a light gray three-pointed helmet, and the eyes are painted with yellow crayons, which represent the shining eyes when the power armor is activated, and it can also be seen at a glance that it represents Reinhardt.

Although the painting skills are not very good, this simple pattern can still be drawn.

The reason why I didn't hire a professional painter was not because I couldn't bear the money, but because the pattern drawn by a professional painter lacked a crucial thing, that is the soul!

The patterns drawn by professional painters are definitely better than his ones, there is no extra stroke, and they are lifelike, but a work that lacks soul is destined to be incomplete, even if its appearance is bright and beautiful.

Although the patterns drawn by Luo Ning can't achieve a lifelike effect, they can still be seen. In fact, these are secondary. Only by doing it yourself can the soul be injected into the painting. A simple pattern is like a work of art.

Moreover, it is more sincere that the CEO of Overwatch Pictures draws it himself. For the same Overwatch pattern, the very good-looking ones are from a well-known painter, and the less-looking ones are from him. I believe that most fans of Overwatch will choose to come from him. of paintings.

The reason is the same, it is because the paintings made by him are valuable and meaningful, endowing them with soul.

As for the imprints of other Overwatch heroes, Luo Ning was not in a hurry to draw them.

He is not sure that this can produce cultural symbols of heroes, and other Overwatch heroes movies have not yet been released. If there are only patterns, the audience will not accept it, and cultural symbols will naturally not be formed.

With the imprint mark, you need to publicize it. The best way is to integrate the pattern into the surrounding, such as printing on badges, T-shirts, water glasses...

These gadgets can be added with patterns, which not only means that these things are Overwatch peripherals, but also allows everyone to subtly change the patterns on the peripherals to be the logo of a certain Overwatch hero.

In this way, the goal is achieved!
Luo Ning also felt that it was time to build a peripheral shopping mall, which would also bring in an extra income for the company.

Although there is no shortage of money, the more money the better.

The Advent Ceremony is a money-wasting activity. I don’t know how much money needs to be invested in it, so that the Overwatch heroes can be summoned by him. Maybe it’s an astronomical figure, so we need to make more money to prevent problems before they happen.

The matter of setting up the surrounding shopping malls was naturally handed over to Lucy, and he used the reason of visiting the class to excuse himself.

It will take a long time to form a cultural symbol of a hero, at least it will not be formed until "McRae" is released.

Luo Ning eagerly hopes that the Overwatch heroes will come to the Marvel world, so that he will have enough confidence to set up his trump card, face the Hydra head-on, and draw a clear line with S.H.I.E.L.D., and be better able to deal with various crises that will arise .

However, the formation of cultural symbols does not happen overnight, and external assistance can at most speed up the process.

In addition to peripherals, games are also a way of rapid communication. Luo Ning thought of Blizzard Entertainment. If the imprint of Overwatch Heroes can appear in the form of game props or clues in the game, it will definitely impress movie fans.

Most of the people who play movie-derived games are Overwatch fans. Of course, there are also people who only play games and don’t watch movies. This can also turn that part of the game fans into Overwatch fans. When the audience grows, it can speed up the cultural symbols. born.

So he personally contacted Mr. Moulton, the vice president of Blizzard Entertainment, and made his request to him, and the other party readily accepted it.

Luo Ning also knows that this is not difficult for them, and it can also allow game planners to expand the game plot through the hero imprint, killing two birds with one stone.

At the same time, he asked about the progress of the game's development. Hearing Moulton's ambiguous answer, he felt chilled. It would take at least half a year to hear what he meant before the game would be released for sale.

Good things are far away from him, and only "McRae", which is about to be completed, brings him some comfort.

A postcard on the corner of the table suddenly gave him a flash of inspiration, and he came up with an idea.

Since we want to develop peripherals, why not combine the excellent works of previous lives?
There are so many things to learn from that world, why should we fall into the cliché?

Water cups, T-shirts, badges, figurines...these things are dispensable, and not many people buy them, and they are bought by people who have already turned into Overwatch fans, so it doesn't make much sense.

But if Overwatch is made into an irreplaceable product, once this product can attract those who don’t usually watch movies, it can convert them into Overwatch fans in another form, thus speeding up the birth of cultural symbols.

Luo Ning felt that the coquettish idea just now was completely feasible. He would learn from the Three Kingdoms Killer and make a Overwatch Killer!

The generals cards of the Three Kingdoms Kill are all famous soldiers of the Three Kingdoms, and the generals cards of the Overwatch Kill can be Overwatch Heroes.

There are 25 cards for killing generals in the Three Kingdoms, and 28 Overwatch heroes, which can be said to be very close. The extra 3 heroes can use their imagination to design new skills for them without any pressure.

The rules can be copied intact. As for the cards, there is no need to make any changes, just change the name.

The board games in the Marvel world are still very barren. One can imagine what kind of board game boom will be set off once Overwatch appears.

In the previous life, Three Kingdoms Sha was popular all over the country and loved by many teenagers. Luo Ning was confident that American teenagers would like this board game.

I still remember that one of the few funs in my school days was that my classmates got together to play Three Kingdoms 10 minutes after class. I was looking forward to the physical education class, and it was also for playing Three Kingdoms.

The number of participants can be more or less, and it is very flexible. It will not be impossible to play because there are not enough people. Two people can play. The ideal state is four or more people. The Three Kingdoms Killing with more than four people is the most fun.

As soon as the idea came up, Luo Ning began to think about the characters and cards of the Three Kingdoms Killing, and took out a notebook to write it down. You don't need to remember it very clearly, just have a general idea.

There is another problem. The generals of the Three Kingdoms are divided into four camps: Wei, Shu, Wu, and Qunxiong. It is reasonable for Overwatch heroes to be divided into four camps.

After a little thought, there are results. There are many heroes in Overwatch, so two camps, Overwatch and Shadowwatch, are separated, and then Junker and Talon are unified into black and evil forces. Others, such as the Shimada family and unknown affiliation Heroes are divided into neutral.

Overwatch, Shadow Watch, Dark Forces, and Neutral, there are exactly four camps, and the number of people in each camp will not vary too much, just right.
