Dead Cells itself is actually not very difficult to develop. Basically, most of it can be implemented using the existing programs of Unreal Engine.
However, the art model of Dead Cells is quite special. If you directly use the public materials in Unreal Engine, it will not be that interesting.
It is a pixel style game between 2d and 3d.
This style of painting is just enough to weaken some of the originally disgusting and terrifying scenes, but without losing the original artistic atmosphere of the game.
When Dead Cells was first produced, Zhu Youxing was attracted by the unique art style when he first came into contact with it.
Without this unique art style, the game's appeal to him would actually be reduced by another third, and he might not try to play the game.
So Zhu Yuxing emphasized the importance of art when the three girls left.
This is obviously what Kazumi does best.
Of course, this game also requires simple 3D modeling, which is not something Kazumi is good at, so the three girls still need to work together.
During this process, the three girls followed Zhuyouxing's instructions and reported the development status to Zhuyouxing regularly every week. Zhuyouxing then made adjustments to the game development at some critical moments.
Zhu Youxing did not make adjustments to the overall framework of the Dead Cells game because it was unnecessary. The game was already perfect when it was produced.
On the contrary, some enhancements have been made to the sound effect improvements proposed by Yinjiang at that time.
It adds more appeal to this game.
At the same time, Zhuyouxing also needs to keep an eye on the development progress of Titanfall.
Dead Cells are some of my small wishes, and Titanfall is my big wish.
At the same time, players’ expectations for Titanfall are getting higher day by day.
The original demonstration video has been circulated on the Internet countless times.
And every time the demo video ended abruptly during the Titan landing scene, the players watching the video couldn't help but curse.
Because this is what they look forward to most.
Pilot a mecha!
This is a man's romance!
It’s not like there haven’t been games before that have some gameplay content for controlling mechas.
But this time it was produced by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.
As long as it is a game produced by Youxing Electronic Entertainment, it is definitely extraordinary.
"Boss! Boss! We've done it! This should be our final draft of the Titan design!"
Someone broke into the temporary office of Zhuyouxing, a branch of American Youxing Electronic Entertainment. The faces of several young designers were red with excitement, and their eyes were a little dark.
They are a group of crazy creators, and they are often willing to give up everything in order to create the most satisfying works of art.
Youxing Electronic Entertainment does not have the custom of working overtime, but they are still willing to take the initiative to complete the settings of Titans, and they enjoy the process immensely.
Of course, the overtime pay afterwards will definitely not be less.
Several designers, including the design director of Titanfall, came to Zhu Youxing's office together, and then showed Zhu Youxing the final draft of Titan they had prepared to see with his own eyes.
That's hundreds of drawings about Titan's settings.
From the weapons to the Titan Mecha itself, the various functional settings of the Titan Mecha have been refined to a terrifying level.
In order for these people to complete the Titan Mecha, Zhu Youxing initially gave them a month's vacation and asked them to go to some specific places to collect various information.
During this period, some of them entered the military camp through connections and observed various combat equipment with their own eyes.
Some go to the wilderness to take crazy photos to capture various natural scenery and environments.
Others went to some future-exploring technology laboratories to explore the latest technological developments.
In short, they each showed their talents and gained knowledge like crazy in a month.
Then, when they came back a month later, they started crazy drawings.
"Boss, we first tried to develop a set of appearance for these Titans that are very suitable for human control, and then improved them by combining some characteristics of animals, and finally added some elements related to modern combat equipment, and this is
Our final product.”
The art director was very proud to introduce the results of their efforts during this period to Zhu Youxing.
It's really not easy.
Every designer spends too much energy to create the most perfect Titan mecha.
But this is also very rapid for their growth.
Zhu Youxing had already picked up several of the completed setting manuscripts at this time.
Up there, Zhu Youxing saw Titan mechas that looked like they existed in real life.
The most conspicuous among them should be bt7274 in the original Titanfall 2 story mode.
Anyone who has played the story mode of Titanfall 2 will definitely have a very deep affection for the BT Titan mecha.
This Titan is like a guardian around you and a partner at the same time.
In this drawing, Zhu Youxing saw that familiar figure.
The Titan in this sketch is almost 70% similar to the one in Zhu Yuxing's impression.
After all, this is the only Titan mecha that I require to be designed according to the specified style.
Looking at this familiar Titan mecha, Zhu Yuxing couldn't help but dream back to the time when Titanfall 2 was released.
At that time, Titanfall 2 was flanked by its own Battlefield and its rival Call of Duty. Although it also achieved millions of sales, it was not considered a success for a large company.
But Zhu Youxing still remembers the fall of Titan.
Just looking at the drawings reminded him of the feeling he had while playing this game.
The story mode of Titanfall 2 is really impeccable.
Zhu Youxing couldn't help but smile, and the designers were overjoyed when they saw it.
This means that my design has finally been recognized by the God of Games!
Then, Zhu Yusei put down the drawing of the protagonist BT, and looked at the drawings of several other Titans.
These are slightly different from what I remember, but it doesn't matter.
In fact, I am not that impressed with the image of Titan other than BT anymore.
After all, other Titans don't have any emotions.
"Very good, the settings of these Titans are very good."
Zhuyouxing gave it the highest rating.
This is the Titan setting that he feels is the most restorative.
There is nothing to fault anymore.
If you are picky, it will seem too mean.
"So, boss, can we promote according to the setting of this Titan?"
Zhu Youxing nodded without hesitation: "Of course, this is already the best setting. Arrange the publicity department and prepare to officially market Titanfall!"
