"Zhuyou, I hear you want to use movie special effects to express some game plots in the future, but will this be too different from the game itself? Will it easily give players a sense of gap?"
Listening to Takeyusei telling the whole process, Tsukino Aya also raised her own doubts.
Until now, Zhu Youxing has only been unilaterally optimistic about this field of special effects.
Most of the cutscenes added in current games are 2D animations similar to cartoons.
Such cartoons will be easier to integrate with the game itself.
If you impose a cutscene with good special effects, it will still feel a little inconsistent.
Zhu Yuxing smiled and said: "I am not preparing for the current game, I am preparing for the future game. By the way, you should have seen the Final Fantasy 7 plan that I released on the company's internal network before, right?"
Tsukino Aya recalled and nodded: "I saw it, you plan to use a full 3D engine to produce this generation of games. Are you planning to use special effects for this?"
"Yes, my idea is that in 3D games, newer and more advanced technologies should be used. Special effects animations with better graphics are very necessary. As for 2D games, of course, we should continue to use 2D animations."
Tsukino Aya nodded, she seemed to be able to roughly imagine what the situation was like.
The Final Fantasy 7 project released on the internal network is the work with the most planned content by Zhuyouxing to date.
The number of participants is expected to be as many as 300, and it will require the cooperation of at least three game development teams.
Some highly repetitive tasks need to be outsourced to save time.
Then there are more than ten people in music production and so on...
In all aspects, Zhuyouxing has pushed almost all imaginable configurations to the current limit.
Up to now, the games produced by most companies have been limited to less than a hundred people, and no one has thought about making games on a large scale. Zhuyusing is planning to try again.
Tell it to those companies that are interested in making games and have a lot of money.
Do you want to make a big production similar to a movie and make a lot of money? No problem, video games can also satisfy your wishes, so please join us and let's develop the field of video games together.
The development plan for Final Fantasy 7 also includes the special effects team. Zhuyusei's request is that all staff be mobilized. The special effects team in the United States will be fully equipped to assist in the production of Final Fantasy 7.
The development budget alone is US$200 million, which is the entire development budget of the game, including publicity costs.
Now two development teams have entered into the preparation work, waiting for other staff to join one after another, and then the game development will be on track.
In the past, all the game development of Youxing Electronic Entertainment was based on small and broad.
Because Zhu Youxing has a very foresighted mind, game development can save a lot of time and avoid many detours. Zhu Youxing knows how to do it best and will not encounter any big troubles.
But this time, it seems that they really want to get a big one, 200 million US dollars, which is almost one-fifth of the current reserves of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, all of which are invested in one game, which is very much like gambling.
mentality.
Two hundred million US dollars is more than the cost of Final Fantasy 10 in the original world, and Zhu Yuxing’s ambition is to truly make a game close to Final Fantasy 10 or even higher, so that the world can truly see the charm of the game.
.
To this end, Zhuyouxing also deliberately raised the performance of the gs1 game console to a higher level.
The game console itself probably won’t make much money this time. It won’t make twice as much as it did in the past. But as long as the game can keep making money, it will make money. After all, the game console is just a carrier. In order to make games more popular, future generations of game console companies
You can sell more machines, but you still need to sell them at a certain degree of loss. The purpose is to expand the number of users and let more people spend money to buy games.
Aya Tsukino obviously still won't understand why Takeyusei suddenly invested so much labor cost in a short period of time.
Judging from the current state of game development, it is still possible to continue to make games with Xiaoboda, but from a player's perspective, it is definitely better to play more enjoyable games.
"Okay, you can help me during this time. The film and television company requires us to produce a one-minute sample within three days to see what our results are. If the results are really good, they will use our technology.
, to provide data for our future production of game special effects.”
Zhu Youxing clapped his hands and asked other employees to start taking action.
Everyone immediately got into work mode, and Tsukino Aya temporarily suppressed the new idea in her mind, and worked on a one-minute film and television special effects with Takeyusei.
Three days later, in a temporary studio eight or nine kilometers away from Zhuyouxing's office, some film and television crew members were chatting idly.
They had just finished a day of filming.
Star Ocean is an ambitious project of their film and television company, which hopes to enter the upper-class film and television circles through this series of films.
But the embarrassing thing is that we don’t have much money.
Fortunately, a new company suddenly appeared that was willing to help produce special effects at a lower price. They simply asked them to make a one-minute pilot clip to see the effect. If it didn't work, they would consider borrowing money to find a better company to do special effects.
.
The assistant director said: "What do you think the special effects produced by the new company will achieve?"
The director shook his head: "I don't think it's feasible. Now we all know that special effects are very expensive. They are willing to do special effects at a very low price. How can it be better?"
"But I heard that it is a very famous game company, and they have guaranteed with the top management of the film and television company that they can produce qualified special effects."
The director said helplessly: "Those senior executives are not professionals. They just think they can save money. This is a complete waste of time. I am actually worried about whether they can complete one minute of special effects in three days. If they can't complete it,
, just enough to refuse their cooperation."
At this moment, a crew member hurried over.
"Director, a car came outside. They claimed to be from Yuxing Special Effects Studio."
"Huh?" The director was stunned.
As soon as he finished speaking, this person came?
The special effects were actually produced within three days. The efficiency is pretty good, but it’s hard to say whether it’s qualified or not.
"Let's go take a look."
The other party has already arrived, so the director naturally needs to greet them. This basic courtesy is still required.
