Chapter 146 Why is snow warm?
The rise of "Resident Evil: Village" can be said to be a wake-up call to all major manufacturers who are waiting and watching.
It’s not that the FPS category is not good .
It’s because players don’t like to play the games we made before!
Ultimately, it’s because they just keep replicating the old ways of playing without trying to make changes.
This is what has made this classified market what it is today.
For a moment.
A large number of manufacturers changed their strategies and began to study the feasibility of the emerging theme of doomsday and FPS gameplay.
Some people with unique vision have directly set their sights on the vast world view brought by "Resident Evil" and introduced elements of zombies and mutant beasts.
As soon as the project was released, it attracted the attention of a large number of players.
The popularity far exceeded any previous level, which shocked all the manufacturers. They invested a lot of money and worked hard to develop this project.
In just a few days, a large number of development announcements for related projects emerged on the Internet, sparking another wave of enthusiasm.
…
"Chen Lin, if this continues, will they steal the spotlight?"
In the office, Old Song looked at the messages with some worry.
Although the gaming industry is mostly a place where people copy others, he still feels a little uncomfortable when someone openly takes advantage of his popularity.
You know, they spent a lot of money on promoting this game.
Now we have finally laid a foundation.
These guys just come over and take advantage of this free popularity?
"Don't worry, this is actually good for us." Chen Lin thought for a moment and said, "Because no matter which game they launch, players will remember that we were the first to create this type of game, which is equivalent to free publicity."
"You are quite open-minded. If it were any other manufacturer, they would have been sued for infringement long ago."
Of course, Old Song knew that it was unrealistic to cause trouble for every family, and he was just venting his anger.
And what Chen Lin said makes sense.
Although doomsday themes have been around for a long time, zombies were made popular by their CG movies.
Those manufacturers use their movie worldview as a disguised form of publicity for them, so it's not too bad.
Just think of it as copyright fee.
Thinking of this, Lao Song finally felt better and continued:
"By the way, now is the time when doomsday themes are at their hottest. Do you think we should make a smaller game to supplement it? Otherwise, I'm afraid it won't be stable just relying on Resident Evil."
"Well, that's possible."
Chen Lin nodded. He had had the same thought.
It’s just that “Resident Evil” has just been released, and it’s not easy to release a sequel right away.
If you want to make another game to supplement it, you have to start a new project, and it can’t be too big, otherwise it will take too long.
"A game with a doomsday theme and smaller content, what do you think of it?"
"Since it's used to supplement the popularity, my suggestion is to make a genre other than FPS and try not to collide with "Resident Evil"." Lao Song said thoughtfully.
"How about 2D graphics?"
At this moment, Lao Li suddenly came in from outside.
"Why are you here too?"
The two turned their heads to look at him.
"I'm here to submit last month's report, and I happened to hear you discussing the new game." Old Li walked in stealthily.
"So what good suggestions do you have?" Chen Lin asked.
"I don't have any suggestions. I just feel like it's the end of the world. I've been running for my life. I always feel like something is missing without killing monsters and leveling up."
"Just keep it simple and rough, kill monsters and get equipment."
"It would be best if I could mow the grass and fight the boss with Wushuang."
“The content doesn’t have to be based on the Resident Evil background, as long as it has a doomsday element.”
"How about using 2D for the graphics? Make it smaller and add some traditional Chinese style to change the taste."
Old Li opened his mouth and said a bunch of nonsense.
Old Song was listening on the side, and the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
"Wait a minute, I think this is the game you want to play, right?"
"Kill monsters and level up to get equipment. How dare you use such an old-fashioned way of playing?"
"It's still Chinese style. Isn't it a bit inconsistent to combine Chinese style with zombies?"
The movie "Resident Evil" uses a foreign background.
After all, there is already something called zombies in China, and the setting is a bit conflicting.
He really couldn't imagine what kind of deformed product would appear from the combination of traditional Chinese style and zombies, let alone whether any players would buy it.
Even if it’s just a supplemental product.
We can't just let this guy do what he wants.
"Is it really not possible?"
His thoughts were exposed, and Lao Li scratched his head in embarrassment.
He was just playing a lawn-mowing game recently when he suddenly had this inspiration.
Now that I think about it, putting these things together does look a bit out of place, and it's good enough that I'm not criticized by players.
However.
What the two did not expect was that Chen Lin's voice suddenly came at this time.
"Chinese style plus zombies, equipment dropped from monsters, this is a good idea."
ah?
What's good about it?
Old Song was full of question marks and looked at Chen Lin, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
Old Li was pleasantly surprised: "Mr. Chen also thinks my idea is good?"
"Yeah." Chen Lin nodded. "As for the Chinese style, it's indeed not suitable to use the background of Resident Evil, but we can add a new background that is more in line with domestic culture."
"Add what?"
Old Song and Old Li asked in unison.
Chen Lin glanced at them and said with a smile: "Curse!"
"curse?"
"Yes, and it is a curse that covers an entire country."
Through Lao Li’s description, a game has vaguely emerged in Chen Lin’s mind.
The game that had made him fail several times because he was too soft-hearted.
Warm Snow
Two big words appeared on the white paper in front of him.
The two people who were in a daze also looked over, becoming even more confused.
"Nuan Xue? Is that the name of the new game?"
“Why is snow warm?”
The two were confused by this unclear name and looked at Chen Lin again.
Chen Lin didn't say much nonsense. He took out a plan from under the table and handed it to them.
"Let's see if there are any difficulties in production first."
Old Song took the plan and stood there with Old Li to read it.
After a while, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in their eyes.
"This is……"
“What a unique setting!”
"Equipment is obtained randomly, and there are so many schools!"
“They actually combined traditional Chinese style with zombie mutation!”
"I see. That's how the game got its name. I think this plan is feasible."
Soon, both of them came to a conclusion.
Even Old Song, who had just been opposing, was amazed.
He found that apart from the different graphics, the gameplay setting and background story of this plan were no less than those of Resident Evil.
It also perfectly demonstrates the characteristics of national style.
It complements the theme of zombie mutation and does not feel out of place at all.
"How about it? Can it be done within two months?" Chen Lin asked.
"Absolutely!" Lao Li answered affirmatively, "With the manpower we have now, it's still very fast to make a game with all our strength. Besides, didn't you just recruit a group of new animation experts? They can be used just in time."
"Well, this project will be handed over to you two. You can arrange the personnel allocation yourself and complete it as soon as possible while the doomsday theme is still popular."
"Leave it to us."
After that, the two of them left with the game plan.
After all, time waits for no one, and no one knows how long this wave of popularity will last.
