Zhong Xiu looked at the original painting in his hand. He was shocked and couldn't put it down.
For a homebody like him.
He liked the original paintings given by Lin Yao very much, both in style and character design, because the characters Lin Yao painted were not only bloody and curious, but also handsome.
Especially this mother body, which looks pitiful from a distance, but has a madness when seen up close, which makes people crazy. Who can resist such a role?
There is also this mercenary, who has the temperament of a soldier, is resolute and handsome. At first glance, he looks like a ruthless character like Wen Neng who punches people on the bridge of their noses and Wu Neng who shoots with AK.
And this...uh?
Zhong Xiu raised his head and glanced at Mu Wanqing strangely.
"That is not a playable character. I just drew it to make Miss Mu happy. You don't have to worry about it. I plan to make her into a promotional video and forget about it in the game."
Lin Yao saw his expression and knew what he was thinking, so she explained.
"...Are you sure you don't want to make it into the game? It looks cool."
Zhong Xiu glanced at Mu Wanqing's face and said cautiously: "I feel that such a character is really suitable for being in the game. It is best to retain the characteristics of holding a knife."
He seemed to like it even more than seeing his mother's body.
Mu Wanqing's face was expressionless.
Lin Yao smiled: "No, let's not do these bells and whistles for the time being. Let's talk about it later."
"oh……"
Zhong Xiu was quite disappointed to see that Lin Yao had no intention of wavering.
But then, he saw the map plan at the back and quickly forgot about it: "There is even a map, Lin Yao, wouldn't you have planned it a long time ago? Have you wanted to play 3D games for a long time?"
"What do you mean it was premeditated? It's like committing a crime."
Lin Yao glared at him lightly and said angrily: "I just have an idea."
"..."
Zhong Xiu smiled awkwardly, and then looked at the original painting at hand again.
I really like it more and more the more I watch it.
at the same time.
The biochemical model that Lin Yao told him gradually became concrete as the original painting was displayed in front of him.
"Lin Yao, you are really awesome. I think I understand what you mean. Let's start work right away."
Zhong Xiu raised his head again, somewhat eager to try.
Now that the original painting is in front of you and the planning document is next to you, what are you waiting for?
"Don't rush it yet. You should bring the plan and original paintings to a meeting with your subordinates to discuss it. Let them know what they are doing and what else they need. Then tell me."
Lin Yao thought for a while: "Let's make a rough test version first, and then slowly debug it. In addition, there is no firearms data in my planning book, so you have to work harder in this regard."
Lin Yao really had no choice when it came to firearms.
She's not familiar with it.
"good."
Zhong Xiu nodded.
He had no opinion on this point.
Lin Yao has already done enough, even beyond the scope of her responsibilities, with both the original painting and the rules framework. If she is asked to handle the firearms data as a girl, it will be a embarrassment for her.
"But don't you still want to make a promotional video?"
Zhong Xiu thought for a while and asked again.
"You make the game first, put the promotional video first, at least the game is probably playable, and then you think about this issue."
Lin Yao thought for a while and said, "You can't get the order wrong."
You can't just make the promotional video flashy before the game is released, right?
This is too much.
Moreover, the purpose of the so-called promotional video is actually to train the team. The game also trains the team, and the latter is even more important.
"Understood."
Zhong Xiu nodded after hearing this.
really.
…
After Lin Yao gave the original painting to Zhong Xiu, she took Mu Wanqing back to her place.
"Miss Mu."
Lin Yao sat back in her seat and suddenly asked, "Would you mind if I made your image the protagonist of a promotional video?"
Although it is said that the order cannot be mistaken.
But as the main creator of the game, since Lin Yao decided to make a promotional video, she needed to think about how to do it now.
"...Actually, that one doesn't look like me."
Mu Wanqing was silent for a moment and whispered: "I don't know how to use a knife."
Lin Yao smiled: "Does that mean you agree?"
"Well... you can make the decision."
Mu Wanqing really didn't object.
Although she thought it was her at first, but after hearing Zhong Xiu say that the ferocious-looking mother body was very handsome, and then said that the figure with the knife was very handsome...
She felt that it was definitely not her...
"That's good, you will be a human hero from now on."
Lin Yao patted her belly gently and said with a smile like a flower.
Mu Wanqing: "...?"
Lin Yao slowly put away her hands, and after deciding on the role, she began to think about how to make a gimmicky promotional video.
Although she has no idea yet.
But it’s an FPS promotional video.
It's basically a routine.
First, there is an unclear picture, then soothing music, and the characters in the game say some ambiguous lines. Then the music changes, and the music changes repeatedly with the rapid switching of pictures. Finally, there is an ending with unknown meaning. Release date
Jump out.
A promotional video is ready.
Um.
The same goes for movies...
However, a good game promotional video can really add points to the game. Many stand-alone games can even boost sales through publicity alone.
This is why Lin Yao said she would make a promotional video to train Zhong Xiu and the others.
certainly.
The premise of all this is that the game must be good enough.
Otherwise it would be a tragedy.
In Lin Yao's impression, if FPS games and promotional videos in previous generations were good, there must be the Battlefield series.
Thanks to the precision of the Frostbite engine and its expressiveness in multiplayer battles, the promotional videos of the Battlefield series, especially the later generations, are simply astonishing with their light and shadow, images, and battlefield feel.
It makes people want to click and buy immediately after seeing it.
But when I go into the game and take a look...
Although the picture is not greatly reduced, it is indeed greatly reduced overall.
People immediately want to shout that Geneva will refund the money...
And the latest game is even worse. The promo is all gaudy, with bazookas bombing fighter planes, and seizing attack points. When I go into the game, I see bullets being swallowed, and hovercrafts. In my dreams, they are all about hovercrafts running rampant...
I heard that all the veterans of DICE have left, and the new recruits don’t even know how to use the Frost Engine...
However, although the game has many flaws, it has to be admitted.
Their promotional videos are really well done.
Lin Yao took out another piece of paper and thought about it carefully.
Thinking of all the famous promotional videos in previous lives.
I have a little more ideas.
Let’s make a promotional video that’s mysterious.
Since it's an online game, we won't do any real-life demonstrations and just make it a pure promotional video.
Zombies do not appear at the beginning.
Instead, it shows the chaotic situation from the first-person perspective of the soldier, and creates a sense of urgency with the combination of sound and music, a very strong sense of urgency.
Finally, at the end of the promotional video, there is a scene of zombies surrounding it.
Um.
Can.
But the picture of being surrounded by zombies is not enough.
Perhaps there needs to be a scene ahead to stir up tension?
So what kind of picture is suitable?
Breathing quickly? Feeling out of danger and getting up?
It doesn’t feel right?
Lin Yao held the pen and fell into deep thought.
Mu Wanqing stood aside, looked at Lin Yao's profile, and smiled softly.
