Chapter 74 New Game

After "Escape", "Ghost 4" did not achieve much good results. Instead, "Soul Hunter" dressed in horror and suspense became the biggest winner, and soon the whole game circle began to study it.

This is also a phenomenon in the game circle. A slightly popular game will always lead a group of people to study or follow suit.

Just like "The Binding of Isaac" developed by Yang Chen before.

It's just that obviously horror themes are still a bit far from people. How to grasp horror and business is the biggest problem for ordinary game makers.

It seems that although the sales of "Escape" failed, it belongs to the type that is not very popular, but the development cost of "Escape" itself can only be said to be small and medium-sized, and it has also successfully made a profit.

After the "Escape" project ended, some well-established second-tier game publishers in the industry, including NetDragon Three and Jiasheng, came to Yang Chen.

Although compared to the previous "Octopian Traveler" and "The Binding of Isaac", the sales of "Escape" just released are not satisfactory, but it is also profitable.

Although Yang Chen's three games have been handed over to Galaxy Network for distribution so far, that's also because Yang Chen has not proven his worth before.

The performance of "The Binding of Isaac" and "Octopian Traveler", as well as the performance of the Golden Bird Game Award that was won not long ago, and "Escape", obviously as long as Yang Chen doesn't have to develop some games that have no market prospects, even The three will also make concessions in the face of Yang Chen.

As for the previous rejection? What does that count?

…………

On weekdays, in addition to some new technical members in Nebula Studio, Yang Chen also commissioned a headhunting company to find a talent who could help him manage the studio well.

It seems to be very large, but in fact, Nebula Studio is just a grass-roots team, and it is not very formal.

When there were only a few people before, it was nothing, but with the development of "Escape" and the expansion just now, the entire studio has 20 people, which is a decent scale.

Yang Chen needs a management talent to help him manage the studio.

The entrusted headhunting company quickly offered Yang Chen a choice.

Xu Yu, 35 years old, graduated from a certain college and is a senior executive of a certain company.

Yang Chen didn't understand these things, and the other party was not in the game industry before, but in the film and television entertainment industry.

But Yang Chen didn't understand, it didn't matter, he conducted a special interview, and then paid a consulting firm for analysis, at least he could draw a general conclusion.

At an agreed time, Yang Chen met Xu Yu, who was recommended by the headhunting company, in the private room of a business cafe in the city center in the afternoon.

"Mr. Yang, hello." Xu Yu stood up with a smile on his face and shook hands with Yang Chen.

Yang Chen smiled and shook hands and said hello.

From the initial simple conversation, including the in-depth conversation later, Yang Chen basically affirmed the other party.

Although it is not in the game industry, the other party is not ignorant at all, and obviously has done a lot of homework.

After discussing the related treatment issues, Xu Yu himself officially joined Nebula on Monday as a freelancer.

After entering the company, after Xu Yu learned about the current situation of Nebula, he immediately made some adjustments and recruitment of related positions.

Yang Chen didn't know much about these things, and he didn't plan to intervene. As long as the core game development work was done well, Nebula would never fall. Yang Chen had a very deep understanding of this.

At the same time, the project of "Resident Evil" has also been officially established within the company. Compared with the previous "Escape", it can be said that the preparation work for the "Resident Evil" project is too much.

Not to mention the establishment of the art style, including the game plot script,

Although Yang Chen has already written it according to the dream memory, the differentiation of details and the scripting of the game's scenes are difficult to complete by Yang Chen alone.

The search for an outsourced team is a must, and at the same time, the focus on motion capture elements is much more than that of "Escape", it can be said that "Resident Evil" is much more.

Even if the project has been approved, if you want to formally develop it, it will take a long time to prepare for it.

During this time, Yang Chen was probably the most leisurely one.

Wang Ye, Li Ran and the others need to be proficient in the advanced application functions in the official game engine, Chen Shu and the others need to determine the art style of "Resident Evil", while the rest have to work with the outsourcing team and the motion capture team. Work confirmation and handover.

Xu Yu is in the process of setting up Nebula's administrative team. At the same time, Yang Chen also revealed to Xu Yu that Nebula will not completely rely on third-party publishing companies in the future.

The relevant propaganda department Xu Yu is also being established, but it will not invest much in the early stage.

"Achen, Achen, the official game union has sent you a message!" Wang Yaliang, who was sitting in front of the computer in the office, quickly waved to Yang Chen.

"Official game union?" Yang Chen was a little strange.

"Yes, the official game guild released the latest news about the invitation of the game development support review team." Wang Yaliang nodded and said.

Looking at the background notification announcement on his official account, Yang Chen couldn't help but be stunned.

Several times a year, the government conducts game support plans for some independent game studios and teams, including financial support and recommendation support from official game platforms.

Of course, there are also high restrictions on the requirements for participants, such as the cost of game development and the number of teams, which are strictly controlled.

"Forget it, it's not an important matter, and I don't have the time." Yang Chen shook his head and clicked to reject.

If Yang Chen, who was developing "Dungeon of Monsters" before, received such a news, he would definitely be excited.

But now, he is really not interested in this. Although he has been idle recently, he has no time to do this.

"Why are you playing games at work again?" Crossed the webpage and looked at a game icon on the taskbar. Yang Chen looked helplessly at Wang Yaliang who was sitting next to him.

"I have nothing to do. I can't participate in the "Resident Evil" project. I sit in the office all day, except for a few official blogs. I have nothing to do, and I am not playing games, I am studying hard, after all, games Developers can't be completely ignorant of the game, right?" Wang Yaliang said with a bitter face, but her voice suddenly grew louder as she spoke, and at the end she even believed herself a little bit.

It's not boring to play games!

This is to find inspiration for game development, to learn more about games.

"What are you doing so loudly, I believe it, I believe it." Yang Chen raised his hands slightly in a gesture of devotion.

"But aren't you bored? Would you like to develop a new game with me?" Yang Chen said with a smile while rubbing Wang Yaliang's head.
