Chapter 41 Focus
After temporarily handing the Samoyed over to the care of a few employees from Miracle Entertainment, Yang Chen led him to a music room.
"Should the pace of this place be faster?" Chen Gang was sitting on a chair wearing headphones, talking to himself while staring at the text and images on the computer screen.
That's the plot and original character paintings of "Octopath Traveler".
After waiting for about ten minutes, Chen just took off his earphones and noticed that Yang Chen had arrived.
"When did Mr. Yang come? Sorry, the music was being modified and I didn't notice it." Chen Gang stood up and apologized to Yang Chen.
"I just came here not long ago." Yang Chen smiled and went up to shake hands with Chen Gang.
The other party is the music producer of "Octopath Traveler", and he is also a well-known soundtrack producer. He is responsible for the music of many well-known RPGs.
"Mr. Yang, do you think some of the music is not suitable for the game?" Chen Gang quickly entered the topic, and he was even more concerned about this than Yang Chen.
"Yes, there are many places that did not achieve the effect I wanted, such as the character theme song. I want to be able to feel the details of the character from the music, including their personality, growth experience and reasons for traveling.
, and this is also the main core content of the game."
"For example, I think the soundtrack in the game may be better presented in a symphonic way. "Octopath Traveler" is not a traditional JRPG. It can be said to be an innovative work. It does not require the music of previous traditional RPGs.
, such as using orchestral music to renovate the soundtrack so that it does not stay in the traditional atmosphere." Yang Chen explained in detail to Chen Gang if he would prepare in advance.
At the same time, open the laptop you carry with you and open the completed "Octopath Traveler" demo, including the game's soundtrack and character CVs.
Although the original paintings of the characters' biographies and the plot have been handed over to Chen Gang, Yang Chen felt that it might be better to show him the content of the game itself.
Listening to Yang Chen's opinions, Chen Gang was also trying out the game. When Yang Chen entered the console code, he could experience any plot at will.
The expression on Chen Gang's face gradually became serious.
"Yes, there are indeed many questions, and the suggestions you made, Mr. Yang, are indeed very good. I think I already have a general idea. Maybe I can tailor a theme song for each character.
The characters all use a different instrument, such as the character of the priest, and her repertoire style should be one that can express the feeling of feminine femininity without losing the sense of holiness."
"Everyone's story and life are a different journey, but it seems that they are not connected, but in fact they are already intertwined with each other."
Looking at the plot of the game again, shown through images, which are different from text expressions, Chen Gang already had a general idea in his heart, and he suddenly became excited.
"In addition, the battle song also needs to be changed. It needs to be a seamless extension of the character song. This requires very important adjustments." Chen Gang listened to the music coming from the computer and whispered to himself.
Two hours later, after Yang Chen signed a confidentiality agreement on the official platform, Yang Chen took the steel egg home.
Yang Chen was not too worried about whether Chen Gang could make the soundtrack he wanted.
As a well-known RPG music producer in the industry, Yang Chen and his team believe that they can come up with a satisfactory answer.
What's more, when it comes to the soundtrack, the money given by Yang Chen is definitely not small. Although it is a little different from the top prices in the industry, it is definitely not much different.
At least for Miracle Entertainment, this list of "Octopath Traveler" is definitely one that they can rank in the top three.
And just when Yang Chen came home from Miracle Entertainment.
Lin Jiayi's new work "Time and Space" has been officially launched on all platforms.
August 10th.
The third day after the release of "Time and Space".
At the beginning, with the release of "Time and Space", the popularity can be said to have skyrocketed.
The final chapter of Lin Jiayi's famous Space-Time series, coupled with the change from the previous turn-based RPG to an ARPG, and the unintentional quarrel with Yang Chen, a dark horse in the independent game circle this year.
They are all hot topics, which also makes the game "Time and Space" attract much attention.
At the same time, NetDragon's investment in "Chrono" was much greater than that of the previous "Chrono". On the day of its launch, NetDragon and Changan Studio announced that the sales exceeded 500,000, and the total sales exceeded 800,000 on the third day.
Although sales seem promising, online players' evaluations of this game are polarized.
"It's so interesting. I can't stop buying equipment. Equipment entries with random attributes. Every BOSS has surprises!"
"The action elements are indeed very good, and the combat feels very smooth, but it feels like it has lost the flavor of an RPG game. The only fun is grinding equipment."
"Disappointed. The background depicted in the plot is very epic, but there is too much emphasis on killing monsters and acquiring equipment. Almost two-thirds of the game time is spent on acquiring equipment."
"It feels pretty good! Moreover, the game allows four people to play online. I can't stop grinding for equipment and each profession with my friends."
Yang Chen has also been paying attention to this game from Chang'an Studio and Lin Jiayi.
While Wang Yaliang was playing with the steel egg, Yang Chen secretly put her on the bed and ate all the peeled longan, leaving only the black core.
"It's indeed a bit polarizing. I want to focus on showing the RPG storyline, but I also want to add random elements and like Isaac, let players keep grinding for equipment and increase the game time."
After Yang Chen tried it out, he gave a relatively objective view.
However, this gameplay reminded Yang Chen of a type of dream memory game.
A dark brush game.
The gameplay mode of Lin Jiayi's game gave Yang Chen a sense of déjà vu in a dark game.
Compared with the plot, the main core fun of the game is to play the game. And compared to a lot of games on the market that imitate the random elements in "The Binding of Isaac", there is no doubt that Lin Jiayi has grasped the core point.
.
That is to not just be random for the sake of randomness, but to let the seed function generate fixed random numbers within a controllable range, and then use the random numbers to determine the game layout.
This makes the equipment attributes in the game appear to be random, but in fact the attribute entries are all randomly laid out in a large database according to function seeds.
The biggest advantage of this is that there won't be any brushing, and then you will brush out an invincible equipment, or brush out an invalid entry.
More often than not, the equipment is obviously a warrior's equipment, and then the attribute added to it is intelligence. It is obviously a spear used by a knight, and then the specialization of the magic ball is added.
"But if you combine these elements, it feels quite interesting." Yang Chen thought for a while, and an image of a mage wearing heavy armor and holding a big shield and a giant sword appeared in his mind.
Thinking of this, Yang Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"It depends on what Chang'an Studio will decide in the later stage. Should they focus on the elements of brushing and brushing, or return to the orthodoxy and focus on storytelling." Yang Chen smiled and closed the game, then logged in to his official game producer account and entered
Go to the game practitioners forum to see if there is any news in the industry.
clatter!
Yang Chen had just finished entering the password when he saw a small plastic bowl placed on the keyboard in front of him.
Turning his head, he saw Wang Yaliang pouting, holding the steel egg and looking straight at Yang Chen.
"Tired of playing? It's okay. Then I'll go accompany Gang Dan." Yang Chen pretended to be confused and stretched out his hand to hug Gang Dan.
"You are so beautiful that you don't even know to leave some for me." Wang Yaliang rolled his eyes at Yang Chen, turned around and took out a bag of longan from the refrigerator and handed it to Yang Chen.
"Okay, okay, I'll peel it for you, I'll peel it for you." Yang Chen looked at the longan in front of him and smiled, poured the core from the plastic bowl into the trash can next to him, and then started peeling it.
Take out two longans at one time, then peel one and put it in a plastic bowl, then peel one and put it in your mouth.
"Ah! You're still eating! That's a little bit in total! I haven't eaten one yet!" Seeing Yang Chen's actions, Wang Yaliang felt that he couldn't bear it anymore. He threw the steel egg to the ground next to him, and then threw himself on the bed.
He reached out and grabbed the remaining longan in the bag.
Chapter completed!
