Game company goes bankrupt? I backhand cyberpunk!

Lin Ce, do you really want to do this?

And I feel that the story is a little...somewhat incomplete. Is this game going to have a second generation?

After Li Lin spent two days roughly understanding the content of the new game, he got up and found Lin Yuan and asked Lin Yuan his questions.

In his opinion, the gameplay of this new game is, how should I put it, very free, very wild, and very unrestrained, but because of this, freedom has become such a game. Damn it, can this game really be put on the shelves in China?

And the Chinese are running to make Western crime-themed games?

Everyone, this is not the fantasy world that we have done before, nor is it a fantasy world or a world view of advanced science fiction, but a retro, western era of the past.

The background story of the new game takes place in the United States in 1899, which is some elements that you often see in old movies of the past, such as cowboys, guns, deserts, gold nuggets, and adventure elements.

And just such a background.

Li Lin Li Lin doesn’t understand these things at all!

Everyone, he is a college student who graduated in computer science. If you want to speak English, Li Lin is very good at it, and he is a thief. But you want to ask Li Lin about the history of the United States?

ha? How rich a history can a country that only lasts for a few hundred years have? Well, of course Li Lin also knows about the major events that happened to the presidents of the United States. It's high school history, but the question is... who Will you really understand the American cowboy story? !

Who wants to know the story of American gangsters in 1899? !

If you really like this kind of culture, wouldn't you also want to understand the gang history and culture of the two British and French brothers? Who would know about America?

Therefore, after Li Lin got the plan and read it, he was completely confused!

The theme chosen by Lin Ce for this new game is really, really weird!

Therefore, Li Lin would be more worried about whether players in the Game Association in the United States would protest after the game is released, thinking that this is not a story that would happen in their place at all.

Chaotic, wild, full of violence and struggle, but with a special touch of romance, this is how Li Lin feels about this game.

The Wild West is where hormones bloom.

Hmm. Wait, why does it suddenly feel like this is really what will happen in the United States?

Free America, gunfights every day!

The protagonist in this game, a character that the player can control, is really a lawless lord. Does he know how to hang people up and blow up buildings?

Faced with Li Lin's worries, Lin Yuan smiled freely.

What Li Lin is worried about is not that the game itself will be bad, because he doesn't worry about the gameplay of the game designed by Lin Ce at all. What he is worried about now is the background of the game.

But what could be the problem?

Produced by r-star, it must be a high-quality product!

That's right, the new game Nanxing is going to produce is rated by Lin Yuan as a shocking game. It has a western theme and is produced by R-Star. So of course it is the highly anticipated Red Dead Redemption!

And this time, Lin Yuan directly took out the second generation.

It's not that the first generation is bad, but the second generation is really too good. Let's put it this way. As the previous game of the first generation, if you play according to the plot sequence of the game, then you should play the second generation first. Then play the first generation again, because this way the story will be complete and the play will be smooth.

But is it really so?

In the future, when everyone recommends cute newbies to the game, they recommend it to the first generation of players first. They would rather let players disrupt the order of the story.

Because if you really play the second generation and then play the first generation, you may not be able to play it at all.

In terms of art, plot, gameplay, operation, and even perspective comfort, the second generation is completely better than the first generation. The result is that if you play the second generation first and really immerse yourself in it, you will not be able to play the first generation. .

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a work of art. There is no doubt about it. You may not like this game. You may not like this game. You may feel that the game is too slow to play and you cannot play it. You may not like this work of art.

But no one can deny its status in the gaming circle. Just like Lin Yuan used to dislike Rockstar's filial son and brag about it every day when he didn't play it. But after Red Dead Redemption 2 won various awards, he really endured it. After going to play with temperament.

Damn, it smells so good!

Arthur Morgan is awesome!

After you really immerse yourself in it, you will really feel the reality of this Western world.

Because this is what Rockstar knows and is best at. Rockstar is really great at shaping characters!

In addition, plots and stories will suddenly appear in the game. Even an NPC on the roadside may have a story. The non-repetition of lines, life-likeness, and even the hedging of tasks in the plot will shock the players. The sense of contrast directly allows Red Dead Redemption 2 to gain a reputation as a free world game that is not inferior to The Legend of Zelda 2.

When it comes to open worlds, Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda is always on the list, but isn't Rockstar the king in this field? It's just that Rockstar prefers to be realistic and create a realistic atmosphere for players in the game.

Rockstar and Nintendo are game companies that have taken two directions in the same field.

Nintendo pursues the ultimate in gameplay.

What about Rockstar? Storytelling is what Rockstar is best at. It can even be said that Rockstar is the game manufacturer that knows best at telling stories.

After playing Big Cousin 2, most game bloggers commented on the game as follows - this is a ten-year-old game with ups and downs, highs and lows, complex human nature, and beautiful ideals. Hours of high-quality movies.

Therefore, Big Cousin 2 is a very special existence in the gaming circle in a sense.

If you talk about how many copies it has sold and how much money it has made, it is not really a leader, but if you ask players about their favorite games, Big Cousin will always be on the list.

Therefore, Li Lin's worries are unnecessary.

Will the Westworld game produced by the best storyteller still make local people feel awkward?

No, the background is a big deal!

As for whether it can pass the trial.

Ha, with Nanxing's current size, serious tax payment, and good attitude of helping urban construction to increase GDP, how could the people above go to Kananxing's game?

Nanxing is not a goose factory!

Games like Pokémon Go that involve some confidential matters have been reviewed, so naturally my cousin can pass the review too!

Besides, when it comes to violence, the violent plot of 2077 is not inferior to that of Cousin.

It is very obvious that Li Lin has really read the story, so he feels that the storyline will be limited. Well, this is normal. After all, how many people who play 2077 follow the plot? Isn’t that all for fun?

But Big Cousin 2 is different. If you don't get involved in the story, immerse yourself in it, and understand the characters and plot, then the gameplay will indeed be much less enjoyable.

This is also the reason why many people can’t get through the first chapter of Big Cousin 2.

Because the game starts too slowly, making it difficult for players to get involved.

But after really blending in

——————

In the new year, everyone in Nanxing is busy.

Changing from the previous lazy habits, this year, Nanxing will not hold annual meetings. Except for statutory holidays, which means a few days during the Spring Festival, there will be no holidays for the rest of the time.

Regarding this, everyone at Nanxing, especially Li Lin's team, had no objection at all.

Ha, have any opinions?

Dear friends, which company can not squeeze the labor force of employees during breaks and allow employees to receive wages and play games in the company's rest area every day?

It’s just us, Nanxing!

You must know that in the past few months of 891011, most of the employees of Nanxing, as well as the members of Li Lin's team, basically came here with leisure!

Good guy, the rest areas on both floors of the company are full of people during the day. Free drinks, tea, food and snacks are provided to the employees, and they are also allowed to play games here. With this kind of benefits, people will come to you even if you don’t pay wages. Believe it or not?

It’s really not fun to play games for a fee!

This proposal was proposed by Lin Yuan, and Feng Shuyun strongly supported it.

Because neither Lin Yuan nor Feng Shuyun are very rule-abiding people, and neither of them is rigid. As long as employees can complete tasks on time and perform well, then employees can have fun as they like when they have nothing to do. , rest as much as you like.

Those bosses who clearly have no business anymore, but still let their employees sit in front of the computer and stare at a blank PTT until the end of the day, I don't know how to evaluate them.

Moreover, if employees of a game company play games, can that be called playing? That's called collecting information, that's called learning the fruits of other people's work!

It’s not a problem for game company employees to play games. If game company employees don’t play games, they’ll be damned!

At this moment, Lin Yuan was following Li Lin's team throughout the process.

This game team, which ranks among the best in the world, has initially perfected the character modeling of Big Cousin 2. When Arthur Morgan appeared on the computer and started walking around with a gun, it was as natural as an old cowboy. Lin Yuan was a little happy when he was walking in style.

Ha, he saw this old friend again.

Yes, this is Lin Yuan's old friend.

This is also where Rockstar is great. There is an indescribable sense of fragmentation when playing games. Unlike other games, they strongly instill a sense of immersion in players, making them feel that the protagonist is their own game. Cousin 2, you can clearly distinguish the difference between yourself and Arthur Morgan.

Although you are the one who manipulates Arthur Morgan, you know that this is Arthur Morgan's story, not your story.

You are just a spectator, and you see the world from Arthur Morgan's perspective.

But it is precisely because of this feeling that players deeply remember the character of Arthur Morgan and this gangster man who acted according to his heart.

Lin Ce, I won't be able to hand over the game to you in the short term, but it won't take too long.

When Li Lin saw Lin Yuan coming, he walked up to greet Lin Yuan with a smile and said.

Lin Yuan nodded and asked, How long will it take?

Two months have passed since the plan was handed over to Li Lin.

The process from project establishment to production actually takes a long time. After all, teams have to be divided into separate engineering tasks, and Li Lin's speed is already very fast.

Because there is no need to make a plot or perfect the character's personality, you only need to follow the guidelines given by Lin Yuan, which reduces a lot of engineering work, so Li Lin has already created the characters for the protagonist group. Modeled.

Well, there are too many story branches. If it were to be done by another company, it would still take three or four years, but with our team... Li Lin made an estimate, and then said with a smile: We have enough manpower now, and we don't have enough people to do it. We need to worry about funding, I estimate that one and a half years should be enough.”

Ah, what about this year's best game? Can it be speeded up? Lin Yuan blinked.

do not!

A year and a half or something, isn’t that grabbing the best game next year?

He also wants the best game of the year!

After hearing this, Li Lin rolled his eyes and said, If you hadn't gone out with your boss for several months before, I would have been able to make this game this year, but now it's hard!

Quickly speed up. If you need more manpower, find someone from Xu Xiao. If that doesn't work, don't there be people from Luoyang that can be used?

Lin Yuan said to Li Lin.

Li Lin thought for a while and nodded: Then I'll divide it up and see if I can handle some of the workload in sections.

Seeing Lin Yuan's serious attitude, Li Lin also became serious.

But it really needs to be done this year.

Ha ha

Forget it, who made us the southern stars?

Who told us that Nanxing is always doing things that others think are impossible?

Thinking of this, Li Lin took a breath.

Lin Yuan also left and returned to the small office.

In the office, Feng Shuyun was on the phone. It was from Tianyou.

The results of National Star are getting better and better, so Feng Shuyun often receives calls from Tianyou, the content of which is to report the results of National Star to Feng Shuyun, and to help the members of National Star express their gratitude to Feng Shuyun.

Seeing that Lin Yuan was back, Feng Shuyun put down the phone and looked at him: How about it, can Li Lin complete the task this year?

It's a bit difficult. This game is not bigger than 2077 in terms of size, but it has a lot of content. The main reason is that there are too many storylines. Although there are directions given by me, it still takes time to make.

Lin Yuan said.

During the Chinese New Year this year, Lin Yuan and Feng Shuyun are not planning to leave Luo City, but are planning to stay in Nanxing.

As for Shu Shu, he would go home on behalf of Lin Yuan.

Well, I will accompany my mother and father for Lin Yuan.

Another thing is that Shu Shu's driver's license is two years old, and she plans to drive her own sports car home this year.

If Shu Shu was alone, Lin Yuan would definitely not let him go. After all, the distance from Shuimu to home was very long.

But Shu Shu's classmate was accompanying him, so Lin Yuan agreed if someone accompanied him.

Lin Yuan, on the other hand, wants to stay in Los Angeles and be responsible for the direction of Big Cousin 2.

Hey, it doesn’t seem right to call me Big Cousin 2.

There is nothing wrong with just calling 1, because Lin Yuan does not plan to do the 1st generation. After completing the 2nd generation, Big Cousin will be officially finished.

Feng Shuyun is not too fond of her eldest cousin. She doesn't like the themes of cowboys, the west, and gun battles and crimes.

but.

Wait until the official version comes out.

Who knows whether classmate Xiao Feng will like it?
