Forced to become an idol in order to make games

Chapter 235

Just when Lu Yu and Zhao Hanyun went out to have dinner with Wang Yan and others, Wang Pengtao, who was far away in City S, also received Lu Yu's suggestion. He was just looking at the new plan sent by Lu Yu, so he called directly His secretary, ask him to help notify the staff for the meeting and discussion.

Soon, Wang Pengtao received a notice from the secretary. He packed up his things and went directly to the meeting room. The meeting room was already full of people. These were the team leaders who came to participate in Lu Yu's development. This kind of regular meeting is basically held once a day. After all, Lu Yu is not in S City, and some of his opinions naturally need to be discussed by everyone.

Seeing Wang Pengtao pushed open the door and walked in, everyone stopped communicating and looked at Wang Pengtao together. Wang Pengtao waved his hand slightly, then stood on the chairman's side, and handed the plan in his hand directly to his secretary , ordered him to send it down.

When everyone saw it, they took it one by one and looked at it. There was no sound in the conference room for a long time, and Wang Pengtao was not impatient. He still had a lot of things he didn't understand about Lu Yu's plan, so he needed to read it carefully.

After a long time, someone finally spoke first. He was not far from Wang Pengtao, and he was about forty years old. Sitting at such a distance, one could imagine that his status would not be too low, so he spoke.

"Director Wang, what does this plan mean? Are we going to change the game?"

Following his speech, everyone nodded in unison in response. They had been developing the fairy sword for so long, and suddenly a new plan came in. This was something they couldn't understand, and they couldn't change their plans temporarily.

"No, this is the plan that Lu Yu assigned to their own personnel. Please pass it on to me. If you are willing to help, you can help. It doesn't matter if you don't want to. The development should still be based on the fairy sword!"

Wang Pengtao smiled directly. Lu Yu wrote very clearly at the back of the plan. This plan let him directly throw it to those new recruits. In the process of development, and now because of the batch of data from the Forbidden City, there is a lot of scene modeling time left.

Coupled with the fact that some of the main characters have not yet been determined, the workload of the art team is actually not that big. To be honest, after Lu Yu threw in such a large amount of information, their art team can basically rest now, at most they can do some proper work. Just modify it, and the workload is greatly reduced.

And Lu Yu just wanted this group of people to be the main force of fgo development. Firstly, he had the right to practice and familiarize himself with the engine. Second, Lu Yu didn't expect this game to be made soon. According to his expectation, this game should be released together with the animation. That's fine, otherwise the impact will definitely not be too high. Even if it is done now, Lu Yu will hold it down and wait until the animation is finished.

"Then what does Manager Wang mean by showing us?"

Everyone nodded after listening. This made sense, but they didn't understand that in this case, they didn't need to see the plan.

"It's nothing interesting, let's discuss and discuss, and talk about your own opinions. Everyone has been busy developing the fairy sword recently, so you should take a break!"

Wang Pengtao smiled and didn't say anything clearly. Instead, he waved the plan in his hand and waved to everyone. Seeing this, everyone could only bear their temper and continue to watch.

These people who play technology are a group of straight men. Out of their long-term inertial thinking, as long as they read it carefully, they will definitely put themselves into it, thinking about how to do it if they develop, and this is exactly What Wang Pengtao wanted, he didn't need them to participate. After all, it wasn't included in their work content, but it was okay to bring along those newcomers from Lu Yu's side occasionally.

You must know that after so long, none of the personnel recruited by Lu Yu can participate in the development of the fairy sword. It's not that they don't like learning. , the longest is only a little over a year, and the study habits developed in school all the year round have not been lost for a while.

But you can't stand that these people are big bosses, and now the time is tight and the tasks are heavy, they don't dare to slack off, how can they have free time to teach these newcomers, and there are too many small groups coming this time, Although everyone is for the same goal, they each have their own strengths. Even if they have time to teach, those newcomers will not be able to keep up with their rhythm for a while. Naturally, no one wants to spend too much time on this. I'm exhausted.

Wang Pengtao has always seen these things, and naturally told Lu Yu, but the two of them didn't have any good ideas for a while. After all, you can't force others to do otherwise, but Lu Yu suddenly made a new game this time, and developed The difficulty is not low, and this is simply the best practice for these newcomers.

And if there is any problem, these newcomers will ask these old people, as long as they have time, they will generally not refuse. After all, compared with the development of Xianjian, the difficulty of mobile games has dropped sharply. For the engine developers, many problems are just theirs. Naturally, I will not be stingy with teaching me a word.

Thinking of this, Wang Pengtao smiled slightly, and then interrupted the contemplation of everyone present, and said.

"Everyone has been watching for so long, let me tell you what you think, what do you think of Lu Yu's new plan!"

The people who were interrupted by Wang Pengtao's voice gradually came back to their senses. They looked at the plan in their hands and then at Wang Pengtao. A middle-aged man sitting under Wang Pengtao's hands immediately spoke.

"This plan is good. If it is really implemented, it will be considered the best in the industry from the perspective of mobile games. It is also meticulous. Lu Yu has written out all the problems that may arise during the development process. He also has a rough description of the characters. , I now know why you guys hired Lu Yu to be this person, he is indeed very talented!"

"Well, I don't care about the gameplay. It's the plot. I don't think Lu Yu will just make a mobile game. To be honest, I only have one feeling after watching it. This plot is not suitable for mobile games, and even if It’s a top-notch 3A plot, and there’s a certain gap between it and this one! This one is more like a generational classic like a movie or TV series!”

"Well, I also have the same feeling. This plot is a bit too grand. It is difficult to express it in the game, and the gameplay must be innovative. It must be individually designed according to the plot. Let me say this. The plot is too wasteful for mobile games, the right way is to wait for the development of Xianjian to make the next 3a!"

"I agree with this point. After all, the volume of mobile games is still too small. If this plan is changed to a client game, to be honest, I feel uncertain. I don't know where to start."

Everyone was praising Lu Yu's plot, but Wang Pengtao didn't stop, with a smile on his face. After all, he was attracted by Lu Yu's plot when he saw this plan for the first time. Knowing that the plot given by Lu Yu is only a rough idea because of the time relationship, but it is not just FGO, but the entire world view of Xingyue.

Lu Yu knew very well that if he just wrote the plot of fgo, it would not be bad in itself, but it would lose the feeling of a grand epic. In addition to following the fan route, it largely comes from their unique worldview.

The world view of Xingyue is fundamentally logical and self-consistent, and the people and things that happen in it must be understood by developers. Why the plots of many games cannot please players is largely like this. reason.

The character development of most games is to think of a main line, and then expand the branch line on the main line, or the artist draws a suitable original painting, and then fills the story according to the original painting. This kind of story is poor in coherence and full of fragmentation. Players will like it Characters will like the stories corresponding to the characters, but it is difficult to like all the plots. You must know that in many cases the main line must be served according to the Krypton Points to be released. This is also a problem with the plot of mobile games.

And Lu Yu naturally didn't want to do this, so he directly threw out the entire Xingyue worldview to let them know that these things happened under this worldview, and many things in it have fixed settings, which can be filled in during development , but these basic settings cannot be violated, so as not to cause the plot to collapse in the end.

And when the setting of some things is given, no matter the developer or the artist, they can have a direction to refer to the creation, which can save a lot of effort, and these are what an excellent plot design needs to do , and because Lu Yu has always written the plot himself, naturally he must complete such a thing.

"Okay, okay, I'm not here to listen to you praising Lu Yu, I'm here to ask if you have any opinions on this plan, whether you need to make changes, we all know that the plot is very good, and we also know that mobile games are not suitable, But since Lu Yu has made his decision, and the framework of this story is obviously endless, let's not be sorry, maybe he will use this framework to develop 3A in the future!"

Wang Pengtao interrupted everyone's praise with a smile, and everyone nodded after hearing this. Wang Pengtao is not alone in this view, they also think so. After all, according to this worldview, if only one mobile game is really used, That's not a waste, but it can't be presented at all, at least they can't imagine how to present it, it can't be directly made into an animated novel, no, that type is not a game for them.

But they don't know that this genre is exactly what Fate did in the previous life, and it's not a technical limitation. You must know that even when Lu Yu traveled through time, Fate didn't have any 3A masterpieces with orthodox plots, and the last orthodox one was Night of the Magician. Visual novels, Wushuang and fighting still exist, but they can’t be compared with Xingyue’s orthodox plot after all.

The reason for this is that Lu Yu has a little understanding of it in his previous life. It is none other than that the development difficulty is too high. Instead of doing 3A, it is better to develop a form of visual novel, which can express the plot well without having to think about anything. How to play these, after all, this is the same as watching animated novels with sound, as long as the plot is good, there are many people who like it.

But those are all off-topic, and Wang Pengtao and others will naturally not know it, but this does not affect them from making the same judgment. Sometimes a top plot design is not necessarily a good thing, because it will make the development of the entire game much more difficult. Improvement, this is largely the reason why Fairy Sword is now in a deadlock.

During the development process, they not only need to design the system explained by Lu Yu, but also have to embed the entire plot written by Lu Yu into it. Some things Lu Yu may just say about the general effect, but it may take a lot to realize such an effect. This is the reason why they don't have time.

"I don't think there is any problem with this plan. After all, this is not a 3A masterpiece, and there are no such high requirements. Although Lu Yu's writing of the plot is better than that of Xianjian, I must thank Lu Yu. We will start using such a plot. We Why don't you know how to develop it!"

"Indeed, the plot of Immortal Sword is relatively easy to develop. After all, there are not so many restrictions in this plan, and some places can be played freely. It's just that some systems are a little more difficult to implement, and because of the fixed relationship between the protagonist and the player's sense of substitution. no need to worry!"

"Yes, the biggest problem with this plan is the sense of substitution. If it is a 3A development, although the plot is grand, it will give players a sense of lack. If you want to eliminate this feeling, you must start with the system. But forgive me for my incompetence, I have been thinking about this for a long time, and I really can't think of how to substitute players into this plot!"

"Yes, that's it. The part of the mobile game written by Lu Yu is relatively good. At least there is an absolute protagonist for players to substitute in, but the previous world view paves the way. Really, I don't know how Lu Yu thought of so many forces. , so many skills, and according to his description, there is basically no absolute protagonist in these stories, I have no idea what kind of method the player should play!"

The crowd turned the topic back to the plot of Xingyue, which Wang Pengtao can understand. For this group of straight technical men, this kind of thing is like a wolf seeing meat, not rushing. There is a problem with going up.

But even if their discussion was heated, Wang Pengtao had to bring the topic back. After all, the immortal sword was the most important thing now, so he said it directly.

"Okay, okay, let's stop discussing it. Let's put this matter aside for now and wait until Lu Yu comes back. We have to discuss the follow-up of Fairy Sword. Regarding the questions you raised, Lu Yu also gave a reply. I’ll talk to everyone here!”

Everyone stopped discussing when they heard about Immortal Sword. Compared with this unreasonable thing, Immortal Sword is obviously their main goal now. Regarding the problems they encountered during the development process, Lu Yu's reply is very important, after all He is the chief producer of this game, everything must be based on him, and this has been explained since they came to S City.
