Chapter 140 The Key Points of Developing Nier's Automata
The general under his command took the initiative to ask for a fight, with a thirst for fighting!
Liu Xiong nodded and said, "Then, I will hand over the development process of Nier Automata and the script setting to Fangfang and Xiaokui."

Work such as script, setting, and background is usually the work of Ye Shen, and Ye Shen has always done a good job.

But now that these jobs are handed over to others, Ye Shen's eyes become serious and firm.

The boss must have big plans!
After confirming Liu Xiong's eyes, Ye Shen asked seriously, "Boss, what is my mission?"

Liu Xiong smiled slightly: "Your task is very simple, but also very difficult, and that is to write novels!"

"In order to better create the background of our Nier Automata game, I need a series of official novels."

"This job is yours, Ye Shen."

"I'll send you some plot outlines, and then you follow the outlines."

"As a game screenwriter, Ye Shen, you must also understand the grand background of a game and the improvement of the overall quality of the game."

"I'll leave it to you to complete Neil's worldview. This is an important job. I'm relieved to leave it to you."

Although Nier's Automata on Earth was an independent game, it took many years to shape its world view.

From the cavalry on the back of the dragon, to the Nier pretender, to the Nier Automata.

Years of game accumulation, coupled with the release of official peripheral novels, have gradually completed a world view of a strange mechanical world.

Feimeng naturally didn't have the time and energy to do this kind of long-term accumulation.

But in order to enrich the plot of Neil's Automata and complete the world view setting, at the very least, Feimeng can launch a series of official novels.

Anyway, it's not a novel, and with the fact that he provides the main plot, it shouldn't be a problem for Ye Shen to write hundreds of thousands of words in the time before the game's release.

If there are novels with hundreds of thousands of words to pave the way for the game, then the thickness of the plot will not be a problem.

……

Ye Shen was assigned to write novels full-time, while the rest of Feimeng's employees devoted themselves to game development.

Everyone is an old driver who has developed many games, and the mature Feimeng team doesn't need Liu Xiong's attention.

But Liu Xiong didn't intend to be a shopkeeper either.

Liu Xiong is particularly concerned about the game's music.

When playing Nier Automata, what impressed Liu Xiong the most was not Miss 2B, but the music and plot of the game.

pleasant music!
sad music!
Shocking music!
And, weird, spooky, but haunting music.

The most important thing is that the music of Nier Automata is very suitable for the development of the game's plot.

For example, the group of robots imitating human mating, the group of robots imitating cult suicide, and the group of robots who are always happy in the amusement park...

Those ghostly robot singing sounds are funny at first, then weird, and at the end, you get emotion.

and loneliness...

Invincible loneliness!

Fang Fang is mainly responsible for Fei Meng's music.

Those who can do more work, Fang Fang has various attributes against the sky, so even though the program Yuan Fangfang has also served as a screenwriter, Liu Xiong still puts forward high requirements for Fang Fang's composition.

In the first days, Liu Xiong held Fangfang every day and closed the door to think about the music of the game.

Liu Xiong was able to help Fangfang write some of his most impressive songs.

For example, in the background of the robot amusement park, BMG's "Garden Facilities", it is obviously a cheerful play in the playground, but it is full of doomsday sad tunes.

Another example is when I met Adam for the first time, I saw a group of robots who were making babies before, gathered together and performed the fast-paced leg-shaking and brainwashing divine song "This cannot continue".

Or in the crazy suicide sect level, those robots singing "Become as Gods" and jumping into the sea of ​​​​fire to commit suicide.

The music is funny!

The music is weird!

Finally, the music is creepy!

Liu Xiong helped Fangfang write a few pieces of music, which made Fangfang admire Liu Xiong.

The underage girl Fangfang said to Liu Xiong with eyes of admiration: "Boss...my admiration for you is like a torrent of water..."

"Ahem! Stop!"

The humble Liu Xiong told Fangfang not to talk anymore.

Then Liu Xiong said: "There is only so much I can help you with. A big game like Neil does not need one or two BGMs."

"Of course, you once made a lot of good BGM for Feimeng."

"This time, Fangfang, you must maintain a high standard as always, and try to break through yourself!"

Putting his hand on Fangfang's shoulder, Liu Xiong said expectantly: "Fangfang, your strength is beyond my imagination, and also beyond your imagination."

"Come on, this time, make the BGM better! This is your moment of glory!"

The cheers made Fangfang's eyes full of confidence and desire.

Nodding vigorously, Fang Fang clenched her fists vigorously and said, "Boss! I will work hard!"

"After listening to the three pieces written by you, boss, I already have a little idea."

"I will play your tune, Boss, in a loop to make a unified music that fits the style of the game!"

With a sufficient budget, the development progress of "Neil Automata" is very fast, and the basic framework is almost one day at a time.

Everyone's work enthusiasm is very high. Speaking of which, this is Feimeng's first 3D action adventure game!
A company that doesn't make guns, carts, or action RPGs seems to always feel that something is missing.

Now that I finally have the opportunity to do this kind of action masterpiece, everyone is naturally motivated to create new brilliance.

In less than 40 days, the development progress of the game has reached 50%.

At this time, Liu Xiong used the system to check the properties of Neil Automata, and found that the quality of the game should be very good in terms of properties.

"NieR: Automata": Interesting 399, Originality 278, Picture 445, Composition 612, Vulnerability 75.

You must know that the progress of the game is only halfway through.

After the targeted enhancement in the future, and the madness of the sprint stage, then the attributes are not against the sky, right?
Initially using the system to check the properties was satisfactory, but when Liu Xiong watched and tried the prototype of the game, Liu Xiong's face became serious.

There is a problem with the judgment of the system!

In other words, the judgment of the system is not so close to reality.

The system gave the semi-finished product Nier 399 the fun, but Liu Xiong felt that it was not that high after trying it out.

It feels very ordinary!

This is general, not referring to graphics or anything else, after all, the game is only half done now.

This generally refers to action!

Game Action!

Nier Automata, the action of this action game!

Not so good!
