Develop the horror Silent Hill, scare players all over the world

Realizing this, Guan Lei immediately knew that he still had something to do, although he didn't know what Shimmer liked about him, but now he must try his best to fight for it.

So I immediately replied in the chat interface.

【Of course there is time】

A few seconds later, I received another message from Chen Mu.

[Xiuguang: That’s right. It’s not an absolute requirement that you want Studio 24 to be integrated under the banner of Weiguang. We even welcome it, but we need to examine your actual capabilities with Studio 24.]

[For this reason, we will set a period of 'assessment period', if passed, it means that 24 can officially join Shimmer]

[Guan Lei: Of course, that's for sure. 】

Guan Lei nodded.

Shimmer doesn't know the actual ability of 24, it is inevitable to need to investigate, any studio is understandable.

Of course, regarding Studio 24, Guan Lei clearly wrote in the requirements column of his resume, and Chen Mu naturally knew it.

It is true not to say no, but also true to welcome.

Compared with other SR-level senior game designers, a mature game studio is more suitable for Chen Mu's needs, because they do not need to allocate personnel and integrate, and they already have the ability to develop games independently.

Moreover, in the previous life, Studio 24 was the studio that developed the original version of "Infinite Tribulation".

Chen Mu currently only needs to check whether they are original personnel.

Here.

Guan Lei is still waiting for news from Shimmer, but Shimmer said a lot later, including asking for a list of 24 studio personnel, and the follow-up offline detailed discussions, but did not mention salary distribution matters.

Guan Lei couldn't help asking:

【About salary, what do you think? 】

【Shimmer: Just do as you said. 】

???

A series of question marks popped up in Guan Lei's mind.

According to me?

You should know that when most people submit their resumes and write their salary, they will float it up a little more, so that they can reserve more room for themselves when negotiating salary later.

Guan Lei does the same.

Wang Suppression wants to push it down, and the range of the pressure is very ruthless, it stands to reason that Shimmer will do the same.

But Shimmer agreed without hesitation, and didn't seem to care.

Guan Lei was dumbfounded.

"Is Shimmer really so rich? Or does she really have the ability to recognize me so much?"

……

……

rental house.

Zhang Ziyang watched Chen Mu talking a lot with Guan Lei, but felt that he couldn't understand Chen Mu's operation at all.

In his opinion, the entire 24 studio does not have any shining points, even including Guan Lei, who is not even an SR, and is far from an SS...

Why is Brother Mu so optimistic?

It seems that it is only him who can't...

"Brother Mu, I still don't understand what is so strong about this person?" He couldn't help asking out the doubts in his heart.

Chen Mu replied to Guan Lei's message with a smile on his face. He had already set up a meeting time with Guan Lei. Just a week later, Guan Lei also sent a list of personnel from Studio 24.

Chen Mu compared it with the well-known personnel of the 24 studio in his previous life, and most of them were not bad, they were all the original crew in his impression.

After hearing Zhang Ziyang's question, Chen Mu couldn't help laughing and said:

"It's true that just looking at his resume doesn't tell where this person is strong, but there's too little to write about in his resume. I think if you want to know more about him, we might as well take a look at the games he designed before."

While speaking, Chen Mu turned on the computer and showed an old game more than ten years ago in front of several people.

The name of the game is "Meteor Butterfly Sword".

Chapter 107 Adding billions of ideas to "Meteor Butterfly Sword"

If "Meteor Butterfly Sword" was played in Chen Mu's previous life, it would definitely be a familiar name, but here, no one cares about it. Since its release in 2006, this game has been lukewarm.

So when Chen Mu clicked on this game at this time, Zhang Ziyang and the others were still full of question marks. They had heard the name of the game, but they didn't know anything about it...

It's not their fault. The old game from 06 is still in a tepid state. Not many people know about it now.

"This is a martial arts game, mainly about players competing on the same stage." Chen Mu clicked on "Meteor Butterfly Sword", and the rough game screen appeared on the computer.

There are a few villains in the picture, the modeling is quite simple, and the overall picture has been eliminated by the times, but the gameplay of the game is still talked about by Chen Mujin.

Chen Mu glanced at the screen, and skillfully manipulated two of them through the computer. The villain in the screen was holding a long sword. Following his operation, he used various fighting skills... Slashing, Sword Qi, Rising Dragon ...

Under Chen Mu's attack, the villain with the spear in his hand kept changing his moves, stabbing, smashing down, Nezha making trouble...

Although the picture is rough, it can still be seen that the operation scene is quite cool.

Quietly watching Chen Mu operate on the computer, Zhang Ziyang and the others couldn't help but start analyzing with the thinking inertia of a game designer, and suddenly found that this game is quite interesting, and it is not as hip-pulling as they imagined.

Although there are still many common problems of old-age games, the flaws are not hidden. There are a lot of combat skills in it, and some of the operation screens may still find prototypes in reality. The more important thing is that some of the mechanisms are very interesting...

"The core of this game is very simple, it is fighting." Chen Mu put down the keyboard, and introduced to Zhang Ziyang and the others:

"With martial arts fighting as the core, it adopts a multiplayer online mode to enable players to compete with each other. The gameplay is very simple, but the design inside is very unique..."

"Different from ordinary early online games, there is no division of occupations, only the division of different types of weapons. Different weapons have different fighting styles, can adopt different combos, and have different skills..."

"In addition, there are long-range weapon settings, and they are effectively kept within the game balance."

"This kind of setting is not available in previous games."

Chen Mu analyzed slowly.

Zhang Ziyang couldn't help but nodded his head: "It's indeed a very novel model. If it was placed more than ten years ago, this model is indeed unique enough, and the real person confrontation and the design of different weapons are attractive enough, but... ..."

"But now, it's not enough to see."

Although Zhang Ziyang didn't know why this unique game didn't become popular more than ten years ago, he knew that it was an old game after all.

Even though there are remarkable places, it seems a little worth mentioning now.

Chen Mu didn't deny it, but nodded: "It's really not enough, but there are a lot of points that can be learned from this game. If other elements are added to it and improved, this game will undergo a qualitative change."

"Improve?" Zhang Ziyang asked suspiciously, "How to improve?"

Gao Yuan and the others looked at Chen Mu, and saw Chen Mu laughing: "The first is to increase the number of people fighting. The 1v1 competitive mode does have a lot of playability, but in the final analysis, this mode has already made most players appear. aesthetic fatigue, so we need to change the model."

Chen Mu went on to say: "Next, I will introduce a concept called Battle Royale."

"What is a battle royale?"

"Just to give you an example:"

"Sixty people have a fair start. Everyone does not have any weapons and equipment at the beginning. When they enter a large map, they can collect various equipment and props in the large map. Higher equipment damage defense, etc., higher combat effectiveness..."

"After picking up the weapons and equipment, some of the 60 people will meet and fight on the map, and the one who survives to the end will be the real winner."

"This..." Zhang Ziyang and the others stared wide-eyed, Zhang Ziyang even nodded half understanding, then suddenly frowned, and asked after deep thinking:

"But what if the players don't cooperate? What if they don't fight? The map is so big, when will it last?"

"Good question." Chen Mu clapped his hands gently: "This is what I'm going to say next, the concept of battle royale is more than that."

"The map will refresh the 'poisonous circle' every once in a while. Players in the 'poisonous circle' will continue to lose blood until they die. The poisonous circle will continue to shrink over time, driving players in one direction until the players meet. , a battle will inevitably break out.”

"In addition, there are some other small designs to improve playability. For example, money can be used to buy equipment in the store, such as special jade pendants, which have different effects and even change the fighting style of a certain weapon."

Authentic martial arts fighting style, melee close-combat game, collocation of different weapons, unique battle royale mechanism, small design to increase playability... What kind of game will these combinations be?

Unknowable, unimaginable.

Listening to the scene described by Chen Mu, Zhang Ziyang, Gao Yuan and the others unconsciously opened their mouths so big that they could stuff an egg.

The battle royale mode is very novel.

The refreshing feeling of martial arts close combat is also very high.

The designs are quite reasonable.

The multiplayer competitive mode makes it difficult for players to get tired.

With the physics engine in "Dark Soul", the real operation of VR...

If coupled with the large-scale map, intricate map design, and different attributes and skills of different characters, the charm of this game is absolutely unimaginable.

Those images came to their minds...

"Damn it! This game is better than "Fire Wire"!" Zhang Ziyang suddenly exclaimed, feeling that if such a game really appeared, he would definitely not be able to resist playing it.

Saying that, Zhang Ziyang and others turned their heads, and their eyes all fell on Chen Mu, as if they had never seen Chen Mu before.

"Brother Mu, what is your head made of? This kind of creativity is unprecedented, it's shocking!"

Chapter 108 New Work Planning

Zhang Ziyang was amazed.

There is no way not to be amazed.

Chen Mu first developed "Silent Hill PT" alone and then wrote all the codes of "Dark Soul", which is not much different from the one-person development.

And now.

And come up with all kinds of clever ideas.

Layer upon layer.

His game creation has no bottleneck at all. Is this really the level that humans can do?

Could it be an alien?

Zhang Ziyang had the same thought in his mind as Xu Mo did back then.

Chen Mu's series of actions are worthy of heaven!

"Why are you looking at me?" Chen Mu raised his head, and he saw the eyes of several people as if they were looking at aliens.

This made Chen Mu couldn't help muttering in his heart:

Am I an alien?

No, I'm just an ordinary traveler.

Zhang Ziyang was a little embarrassed by Chen Mu's question, he patted his head, and said, "It's not Brother Mu, I just want to ask, how did you find out that Guan Lei is a talent?"

In fact, Zhang Ziyang and others still have doubts about Guan Lei. Although he developed "Meteor Butterfly Sword", the ideas Chen Mu said are all added on the basis of "Meteor Butterfly Sword".

But in the final analysis, most of the extra points for such a new game are definitely on creativity, especially such a novel idea as the battle royale mode.

In a sense, when Chen Mu recruited Guan Lei, he only needed to take away an IP of "Meteor Butterfly Sword" from him, in order to silence other players.

But in fact.

In the chat between Chen Mu and Guan Lei just now, Chen Mu planned to let Guan Lei, and even Studio 24, personally participate in the development of such a promising game.

Can Guan Lei do a good job?

They start to worry.

In terms of fame alone, Guan Lei is only a designer who can enter the SR level, and Studio 24 is a little-known small studio.

Their execution and development capabilities have aroused everyone's doubts.

Hearing Zhang Ziyang's words, Chen Mu immediately understood what he wanted to say, turned his head and said with a smile:

"You guys want to say, can Guan Lei make this game well, right?"

"Yes." Before Zhang Ziyang and others could reply, Chen Mu answered directly, "It's not just about doing it well, only he can do it well!"

Chen Mu looked out of the window, and the strong wind in the distance rolled up the leaves, and they flew up to nine thousand miles. Chen Mu believed that the martial arts culture would set off a wave of shocking waves because of "The End of Eternal Tribulation".
