Restart the Gaming Era

When he came to the studio, Zhong Ming sat in front of the computer without saying a word, and began typing on the keyboard to write a design concept draft.

In Zhong Ming's mind, there are many horror games from his previous life, but they are far from what he wants to do this time, and he can't use them.

In the previous life, there were also some games reflecting similar themes, but they were basically text adventure games, such as "The Secret Story of Libazhuang", which did not quite meet Zhong Ming's needs.

Therefore, what Zhong Ming is going to do this time is actually an original game almost from scratch.

Horror is not the first element. There may not be zombies in this game, there will be no mutant creatures, and it will not scare players out of their wits like many horror games.

However, as long as the real experience of all the children in it is perfectly reproduced, this game is scary enough.

Zhong Ming wrote very quickly, without even needing a universal search device, the scenes that happened in his previous life, the scenes in the documentary, he still remembers them vividly.

Group A reception.

Add circle.

treat.

And Professor Yang's superficial smile.

All of these are not what Zhong Ming deliberately wants to remember, but after seeing it once, he will never forget it again.

For a whole afternoon, Zhong Ming sat motionless in front of the computer, writing out the basic story line of the entire game.

Both Jia Jia and Xiao Mu went back to rest today, so Zhong Ming planned to tell you about the production of this new game tomorrow.

Moreover, Zhong Ming himself felt that there was something missing in this story.

Probably because of the lack of the immersive sense of reality, after all, Zhong Ming himself has never been inside, but through some video data, he can't understand the despair and fear of the children inside.

It seems that this design draft needs to be improved.

But before that, Zhong Ming had to arrange some other things, such as borrowing the motion capture studio from Yang Chengye.

At present, there is no way to collect motions at Shimmer Studios. All the motions in the previous "Guardian of the Zodiac" were hand-tuned by motion art.

But now for this game, the workload can't keep up with the manual adjustment alone, and it has to be captured with movements and expressions.

Zhong Ming called Yang Chengye and briefly mentioned his request. To make a new game, he needs to borrow the motion capture studio of Zhihuan Technology. Of course, the money is paid as it is, and he just hopes to get a discount.

Yang Chengye readily agreed, Zhihuan Technology has not been using this studio recently, and the related equipment is also idle, so it doesn't matter to borrow it for a few days.

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Ming thought: "I have to build a motion capture studio as soon as possible, and I should use it frequently in the future."

This time, in terms of the size of the game, the motion capture content required is actually not much, but the manual movement is definitely not possible, because Zhong Ming has to catch up with the schedule, and the sooner the game goes online, the better.

When we make more large-scale games in the future, we must have our own motion capture studio.

...

Back home, Zhong Ming chatted with Wei Yong for a long time, and found out a lot of in-depth content in this organization.

Of course, every similar institution has different rules and names, but the essence is the same. When Zhong Ming makes games, he will not completely follow these ready-made things, but will carry out some reprocessing on the basis of retaining the core.

Talking about this with Wei Yong is mainly to bring into the inner world of those victims and experience their despair.

After the chat, Zhong Ming comforted Wei Yong and asked him to play with his own in the living room before entering his bedroom.

Inside Zhong Ming's bracelet, there are powerful sedatives and a short-term travel capsule.

Traveling through the capsule for a short time allows him to travel briefly into a dream, and this dream is the fictional world he has chosen in his imagination.

The place called "Internet Rehabilitation Center".

Zhong Ming also took a powerful sedative in advance, so as not to wake him up in a dream. If you wake up with fright in the middle, you won't be able to see the second half.

...

...

Three hours later, Zhong Ming suddenly opened his eyes.

He sat up from the bed all at once, panting heavily.

Although he had already taken a strong sedative, he would not feel horrible, but the scenes in the dream still made him feel seriously uncomfortable.

This discomfort is not fear, but a kind of hatred from the bottom of my heart!

"It feels right."

It was already past 11 o'clock in the evening, Zhong Ming turned over and got out of bed, took his laptop computer, and began to type on the keyboard, perfecting the design draft he had written during the day.

Before, many concepts were just a vague concept in my mind, but now, these concepts have all become concrete content, which makes Zhong Ming completely empathize with him, and when he writes again, he has a completely different feeling.

The two identities and the two intertwined story lines were twisted together by Zhong Ming at this time.

There are also many bad endings and heart-wrenching endings, all of which are quickly completed.

After writing until early in the morning, Zhong Ming finally nodded his head as he looked at the final design draft.

"That's it, that's about it."

...

the next day.

Zhong Ming came to the studio and called everyone in the R\u0026D team to the conference room for a meeting.

"The game we're going to make next is called... "The Devil is in the World."

"This is...not a horror game, nor an interactive movie game, nor a text adventure game, probably...it can be called a charity game."

These two sentences, as well as the name of the game, made many people look confused.

Can't even define the type of game? Is this too much? ?

The boss's operation is getting more and more incomprehensible!

Zhong Ming continued to introduce all aspects of the game.

game plot.

Basic settings.

Gameplay details.

Every ending orientation and necessary condition...

After listening to Zhong Ming's narration, everyone was even more stunned.

It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense at all!

Fu Xing'an was the first to raise his hand to ask: "Boss... this game... To be honest, I have no problem with the gameplay. The only problem is the plot and infrastructure. Is it too ridiculous? I can already imagine it." After the game was released, the players' comments, it is estimated that many people will say that this game is neither fish nor fowl..."

Zhong Ming nodded: "Then how do you think it should be changed?"

Fu Xing'an thought for a while: "I think the current plot is a bit inconsistent. If it is linked to reality, there is definitely no such thing in reality. Even if there is, it is probably not as scary as you said, and even if it is done, It’s probably too bland, without much gameplay; or we can simply make it a little more scary and surreal, such as haunted mysterious institutions, and the entire scene layout is also the kind of abandoned building that has been dusty for a long time, maybe from the game angle would be better."

On the other side, Jia Jia couldn't help but interjected, "But, this is what actually happened in reality."

Fu Xing'an was dumbfounded: "???"

Jia Jia sighed, and said, "We don't want it to be true, but yesterday I went to Guanghua City with the boss, and I really found out that these institutions exist. Moreover, all the plots in this game, except 'because Except for the period of hallucinations caused by long-term feeding of psychotropic drugs, everything else is real and not mixed with water. Even if you search the Internet now, you can find a lot of similar institutions."

Fu Xing'an froze, his eyes widened, not knowing what to say.

Zhong Ming cut the screen, and many online posts, materials, and interviews with some reporters were all displayed on the projection screen.

Many victims' narrations, although the words are immature, but the content of the words alone is shocking enough!

Now, Fu Xing'an was completely speechless.

When he saw Zhong Ming's design draft, he instinctively felt that the plot was too ridiculous, somewhere between reality and fantasy. It's a fantasy horror game, but it's not interesting. There is no supernatural phenomenon, and the horror effect must be greatly reduced; can it be called reality? Ten thousand Fu Xing'an did not believe it.

In reality, how could there be such a miserable place?

But now Zhong Ming found these materials, and even some interviews with reporters, and the description of the victim in it made him believe it again.

Zhou Sen was also dumbfounded: "No...Impossible, if this is the case, these institutions have not been banned or shut down yet? No one has reported to the Public Security Department??"

Zhong Ming shook his head: "This is the most bizarre place. There must be many children who came out who tried to find the Public Security Department, but it was useless. It's not that the Public Security Department didn't do anything, but that these parents signed an agreement with the agency to transfer the child's custody In other words, no matter what these institutions do, they are acts authorized by their parents. What's more, their methods are very secretive, and there are no scars on the children, so it is impossible to convict or ban them. Of course, the most important thing is that this There is not enough attention to this matter, it is not a hot issue, and there is no widespread concern, so they can continue to get away with it."

There was an uproar in the meeting room!

At first, when many people saw this design concept draft, they didn't think much about it, thinking it was just a fictional story.

However, now it seems that this is not fiction at all, and all the plots in it seem to have real plots as prototypes!

It's just that these news were all buried on the Internet, and they didn't attract much attention at all!

Many people now understand why Zhong Ming defines this game as a "public service game", just like a "public service advertisement". Although "The Devil in the World" is a game, it does not aim at profit, but has a special purpose, which is to expose this incident to everyone and make it a hot topic for everyone to pay attention to and discuss!

"Boss, I...have a different opinion." Wu Mingliang raised his hand and said.

Zhong Ming nodded: "You say."

"Does it make sense for us to do this...?"

Zhong Ming fell silent.

Many people may also ask the same question as Wu Mingliang, is it meaningful to do so?

We are just a game studio with two dozen employees.

Even if this game is made, so what, it is nothing more than to make many players feel as angry as we do. Maybe it is lucky to get some attention, but many media have done exclusive interviews before, and many children went out and reported to the Public Security Department, but These institutions are still alive and well, so how much effect can we make this game out of our own pockets?

Zhong Ming looked at everyone: "What's the name of our studio?"

"Twilight Studio."

"The reason why it is called Weiguang Studio is because there is a little heat and a little light. Do things if you can do things, and make a sound if you can. The only thing is that you can't keep silent after knowing all this, and continue to have nothing to do with yourself."

Wu Mingliang bit his lip and nodded.

Others have nothing to say.

Indeed, in terms of the current influence of Weiguang Studio, even if such a game is made, it will not have much effect.

However, some things have to be done by someone.

Even if it's just a little firefly in the dark night, it's better than total darkness.

What's more, it is precisely because Weiguang Studio has not yet become a world giant with huge influence, it makes sense to do these things.

If one day, Weiguang Studio becomes a giant in Ming'an City and becomes a big taxpayer, Zhong Ming and the mayor often have a drink and talk, and when he finds this problem, he can let millions of players around the world know with just one sentence , At that time, will the voice be as precious as it is now?

not necessarily.

Now that we have encountered each other, we cannot remain silent, this is Zhong Ming's attitude.

...

The development progress this time is only two weeks.

A little rushed, but after estimating the workload, Zhong Ming felt that it should be completed on time.

First of all, the plot content of the game itself is actually not too long. For many players, the effective game time is only 3 to 4 hours, which is much lower than the normal game time. Secondly, the amount of resources and materials required for the game itself is not large. It is just to rebuild an "Internet Ring Center". There are only five or six key characters who appear on the stage. Violent reception or indifferent "allies".

The movements are all completed in the motion capture studio of Zhihuan Technology. I contacted Zhihuan Technology with professional motion capture actors, and the progress will be very fast.

But to everyone's surprise, this time Zhong Ming was almost in every detail, and he took care of all aspects by himself!

The original art of the character.

Architectural model construction of the entire building.

Even everyone's actions during "treatment".

Zhong Ming gave everything in detail.

The original painting of the character, Zhong Ming came out.

The architectural floor plan of the building was drawn by Zhong Ming.

Even how the protagonist will struggle when he is "healed", how Professor Yang "heals" him, how other people hold him down... etc. Zhong Ming also clearly arranged some details!

Obviously, this is completely different from Zhong Ming's previous working state.

When working on "Zodiac Guardian" before, although Zhong Ming gave most of the concept design, but many contents still allow some free play of art and design. But this time, Zhong Ming basically took care of everything.

Because, he knew that apart from himself, there was probably no other person in the entire studio who could know what it was like inside.

Only by personally grasping these details can we guarantee that the game will be absolutely real after it is produced!
