Start a company to make games

Chapter 14 A Bold Idea
After Liu Xiong put forward his request, he asked everyone for their opinions.

As for the style of painting, everyone has no opinion.

Under the premise of saving money, comic-style games are indeed a more pleasing choice, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But while determining the style of painting, Hi Dog also raised a hidden danger: "If a comic-style game is adopted, then who should make such a comic?"

"Our game has no advantage in terms of picture quality, which requires us to work harder on the style of painting and character design, and be better than others."

"Boss, Fei Meng doesn't seem to have a full-time artist for original paintings."

Liu Xiong nodded and said, "Yes, this is a problem. We, Feimeng, don't have an original artist yet."

Among the current Feimeng employees, the 3D design Yuzi has the highest level of drawing. Her abilities are 65 in programming, 7 in screenwriting, 44 in painting, and 11 in composing.

But Yuzu is 3D design, not painting.

Perhaps Yuzu's painting level is much higher than that of ordinary people, but that level is more reflected in 3D design.

Let Yuzu do the original painting?
Objectively speaking, I'm afraid it won't work.

And as Heigou said, if you want "Blood Lion: Red Alert" to make players' eyes shine, you must work harder on the style of painting, which is better than others, at least the opponents of the same level!

Feimeng Studio needs an original artist, and a high-level original artist!A high-level original artist who can control the manga style!

Mature original paintings are rare in the market, and it's hard to say whether the level of fresh graduates can meet the standards.

With Feimeng's prestige and funds, to be honest, it is very difficult to recruit a mature original artist.

It is objectively difficult to recruit excellent original artists. Without original artists, it is objectively difficult to make excellent comic-style games.

But now Feimeng can't look for objective reasons, but has to give full play to his subjective initiative.

So Liu Xiong said: "I will recruit a high-level original artist for the studio as soon as possible, and before that, Yuzu will be part-time original artist, doing some simple background line processing work."

"Yuzi, you can work hard and take a look at the original painting for a while, do you see any problems?"

Seeing that everyone focused their attention on her, Yuzu shrank her head, looked at everyone timidly, and then nodded: "I will try my best."

In the materials prepared by Liu Xiong before, Liu Xiong roughly wrote the flow of the game, but it was only a very rough flow.

Detailed settings such as map terrain, bridge construction, troop deployment, offensive routes, etc., are not the job of the boss Liu Xiong.

After solving the problem of the picture style, Liu Xiong asked Ye Shendao: "I have written the general plot and settings of the game. Your job is to perfect every setting, terrain, and event of the game..."

"Connecting the plot, setting details, do you have any problems?"

Ye Shen nodded affirmatively, and said with a complimenting smile: "No problem, boss, you have already prepared the outline and main settings of the game. It's really a fantastic plot and an extremely exciting setting! I will make the plot smooth and reasonable. connected together."

"With your profile, boss, this will be quick."

"As for the detailed settings of each level, it will take a little time, but it is not difficult. I will discuss with Hi Dog to see if there is any problem with his technical support."

Liu Xiong nodded in satisfaction. He had already written the outline and key points of the plot. Red Alert is not the kind of RPG game where the entire story is full of plots, and the plot is limited.

The task of Night God is indeed not difficult.

Despite this, Liu Xiong still said: "In terms of the refinement of the plot and setting, please ask Miss Xiaokui to assist Ye Shen."

Xiaokui was a little surprised: "I still have my share! Although I'm an employee, hehe, it's just right! But I also have a heart for designing games!"

In fact, Ye Shen alone is enough for these tasks, but what Liu Xiong wants is to train Xiao Kui. After all, Xiao Kui's 27 screenwriting ability is only 28 point less than Ye Shen's 1 points.

If Xiaokui can be cultivated at work, it will be equivalent to Feimeng Baibai having an extra game script staff.

Very profitable!

The meeting is here, and the main part is almost done.

Liu Xiong made a concluding speech: "If this goes on like this, if it goes well, "Blood Lion: Red Alert" will be a good game, and it will finish the previous Blood Leopard and Blood Tiger."

"Such a game, although good, still doesn't have enough impact on players!"

"But here comes the point, I have a bold idea!"

"This idea is a bit strange, but if it goes well, our game will definitely leave a deep impression on the players!"

Seeing what the boss said, everyone was aroused with curiosity, and stretched their necks and asked, "Boss, what do you think?"

The idea brought up by Liu Xiong is one of the characteristics of the Red Alert series of games, which is rarely seen among mainstream game manufacturers.

And this feature also left a deep impression on Liu Xiong, and made Liu Xiong determined to reproduce it.

"I will intersperse cutscenes between the tasks of each level!"

Everyone was surprised when they heard it. If it was asked to make an opening animation at the beginning, it is understandable that it is a standard configuration of the game.

For the budget-strapped "Blood Lion: Red Alert" project team, how about interspersing cutscenes between each level of the game?

Isn't it too extravagant!
You must know that the current cutscenes are all money-burning things!If you make a mistake and make yourself laugh, you might as well not do it!

Such strenuous effort is not necessarily a pleasing thing. It seems that it is not suitable for Feimeng, who is short of funds, and not suitable for Blood Lion.

Everyone was puzzled, but since the boss wanted to talk, let's listen to the boss first.

Liu Xiong also knew that everyone would not understand his thoughts, so with a slight smile, Liu Xiong said the key point: "The cutscenes of "Blood Lion: Red Alert" will be played by real people."

"It's not a portrait capture, but a real-life situational theater captured by a camera!"

Among the original Red Police, the exaggerated movie-style cutscenes starring real people are one of the major features, and left a deep impression on Liu Xiong.

To leave a new impression on the audience is very important for Feimeng Studio, which urgently needs to clean up its notoriety!
"Live cutscenes, this is rare, especially in the game industry, there are almost none."

"Indeed, I admit it. It would be a bit strange to shoot the cutscenes of the game with real people. If the filming is not good, it will feel ridiculous."

"But as long as we shoot well, it can become a topic and leave a deep impression on the players!"

"I can't guarantee that live-action cutscenes will be well received."

"However, I can guarantee that the live-action cutscenes will definitely impress the players!"
