Everyone who was chatting fell silent after hearing the sound of the door opening.
Although there are no taboos at work in normal times, Zhu Youxing is also very easy to talk to. As long as he completes his assigned work according to the prescribed time, there will be no problem even if he occasionally touches fish.
But this time Zhu Youxing asked them to gather together very seriously.
They had already known that Final Fantasy would be developed before they got together, and in fact, some members of the team had been temporarily transferred to work on this game.
But it wasn't very formal at that time, and it wasn't until now that Zhu Youxing really took them seriously to get together.
This level of attention is also very rare.
The atmosphere became quiet for a while, and Zhu Youxing was ready to break the silence.
"Don't be too nervous. This time it's actually the same as you have done in the past. You just need to complete your respective division of labor and then develop the game."
As he spoke, he motioned to the temporary help staff at the door to come in.
Soon, two young men walked in pushing a cart containing two boxes of bound paper.
"This is my development plan for this new game, and this time my goal is not limited to your three game development teams. The engine development team and special effects production team in the United States will also fully cooperate with you.
work."
Zhu Youxing casually picked up an A4-sized booklet from the cart and asked the employees who came to help to distribute it.
Some smarter employees immediately stepped forward and started to help distribute these brochures. After five or six minutes, these brochures had been distributed to everyone present.
For a moment, the entire conference room resounded with the sound of paper being turned.
They are all looking at this new game development plan seriously.
In the past, Zhuyouxing also followed this process when developing any games, but this time the thickness of the project was obviously thicker than before.
This also means that Zhu Youxing attaches great importance to the development of this new game, and he will probably devote more energy to the development of new games.
Taking the brochure, Zhu Yuxing explained: "This contains the initial rough outline of the plot. The background of the game is established in an era similar to steampunk and near-future technology. It will include the standard Final Fantasy configuration that players are familiar with.
:Crystals, chocobos, and big map adventures, etc.”
"So far, the structure of the entire game worldview in this plan is still at a relatively preliminary stage. What I need now is for you to enrich the story background based on the framework I provided."
These people were watching very carefully, and the general worldview of Final Fantasy 7 had already been described in detail in the project plan.
The details that need to be added are just hydrology, social structure and other more trivial aspects.
These are the settings that are emphasized in the document and must be set up.
Everyone was a little surprised when they saw this.
Because before this, most of the story backgrounds of Final Fantasy stayed in the medieval background, and at most they only added a little bit of the technical basis of steel industrialization.
Moreover, before, Bamboo Yousei rarely required the background of the story to be described in such detail.
It seems that Zhuyouxing really intends to completely build an imaginary world view, and then fill it with various logical fantasy elements.
When the plot designers saw such a request, they felt it was a bit difficult. It was quite different from the work they had done before.
It seems like they have to get all these settings right first.
"If you have any questions, you can raise them now and I will personally explain to you the details of my requirements."
In the planning proposal, in addition to the detailed description of the settings, there are naturally also requirements regarding the gameplay itself.
This time the entire map will be even larger, larger than any previous role-playing game.
So there are more requirements.
Level designers and gameplay designers must find ways to make the game map expand without making the entire world boring.
Don't let players feel that the whole world is too empty.
Moreover, we can’t engage in a lot of perfunctory and perfunctory behavior full of question marks that was popular in later generations of open worlds.
We should strive to make each area of the big map have its own unique content to make the world look more real.
Just now, the plot designers had a headache, and not long after, the level and gameplay designers also felt a little numb.
Filling a large map with countless entertainment methods? This is simply crazy. Even if they can really do it, the capacity of this game will probably exceed the sky, right?
Now our game console... Oh, by the way, the new gs1 game console has instantly jumped from the original SFC's capacity of only a few dozen MB to more than 2GB.
And through future new technology expansion of optical discs, this capacity can continue to double.
So in this way, it seems that we can really do something big.
In the past, they have always tried to create as much rich content as possible within the limited game capacity space.
In the early days, I could think twice and struggle over just a few kilobytes of capacity.
However, this time the gs1 has directly increased the capacity of this once cherished content by dozens of times, which is like replacing a shotgun with a cannon.
"President, I have a question."
Yuki Uesugi raised his hand at this time.
Zhu Youxing looked at him: "Say."
"President, this game has so much content. Will players feel tired because of too much content?"
Hearing this question, everyone else also raised their heads.
In fact, they all had similar thoughts just now.
In the past, no matter how frantically they saved resources in the limited space, the overall game process was only so much and could not be enriched at all.
Unless you want to play for several weeks and add drama to yourself, then such people are generally true fans, but you cannot serve just for true fans.
Zhu Youxing laughed when he heard this question: "How high do you think the player's threshold is?"
"this……"
Yuki Uesugi thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "I don't know, I just subconsciously feel that this game has too much content."
Zhu Youxing said: "Actually, this is not enough."
The game that is truly rich in content is probably a super large-scale online role-playing game.
For example, something like World of Warcraft.
Compared with World of Warcraft, the content of stand-alone role-playing games such as Final Fantasy 7 is still slightly inferior.
World of Warcraft players can accept it, and there is no problem with Final Fantasy 7. However, these people in this world don't know it.
