Chapter 379 283. FATE! Start!
So while in the United States, Qing Zhiyuan led a large force to his subsidiary.
David Breivik did not expect the sudden attack.
When he saw Qing Zhiyuan appear at the company gate, Breivik was dumbfounded.
Who could have expected that the president would come all the way here at this time?
In fact, not to mention that he did not expect it, even Qing Zhiyuan himself did not expect it.
…
Fortunately, Qing Zhiyuan did not come to inspect the work, but had other requests.
"Huh? Move the game to our side for development?" This was something Breivik did not expect.
"Yes, after we go back this time, we will pack the entire project and ask a few people to come over to complete the handover."
Qing Zhiyuan actually had his own considerations.
His initial idea was-
Find a guy who knows guns in the United States, bring him to Neon, and use him to debug the gun feel for the company.
However, on the way to the subsidiary, Qing Zhiyuan thought carefully and decided that it would be better to package the entire "Border" project to the United States.
There are several reasons:
The first is people. After all, Japan is a country that prohibits guns. If you want to find someone familiar with guns, do you have to dig people from the police department?
The United States has a unique advantage in this regard. Originally, everyone can carry a gun, and there are a lot of people who know guns.
It is better to move the game here directly. The US development team will definitely make it better than the Japanese development team.
They have a natural advantage.
For these guys, shooting is like a common thing.
The second is soil.
It can also be said to be the environment.
Originally, American players prefer guns, violent and exciting games. Qing Zhiyuan also planned to launch the first shooting game in the United States.
There is a player soil here. If it is put in Japan, it may be a Waterloo.
Pure shooting games are actually not very popular in Japan.
Only after making variants, such as mecha, spaceships, space capsules, future wars, etc., can this kind of game be favored by players.
But the basis for their liking is that the story and character design of the game itself are good enough, not just the strong shooting experience.
So putting the shooting game in the United States for production, and then selling it directly in the United States, this set of processes is far better than cross-regional and cross-national.
The third is technology.
Now Nvidia, in which Pokeni has invested, is also in the United States. If it is developed here, it will be convenient for communication. If any hardware-related problems are encountered, local communication will be smoother.
Otherwise, when Neon encounters obstacles in the project, it needs to be solved by Nvidia, and it has to communicate by phone. One is that the communication cost is high and the time is long, and the other is that it may not be clear. If it is not done well, it may still have to go to the United States with the machine and software.
In fact, this cost expenditure has increased a lot invisibly.
It is more convenient and faster to put the project directly into the subsidiary in the United States for development, and it can also save costs.
It is also smoother for Americans to communicate with Americans than for Neon to communicate with Americans.
The only downside is that --
The game "Border" has been developed for a while, and Shinji Mikami and his team have put a lot of effort into it, so after returning, Qing Zhiyuan has to compensate them with money or other means to comfort the wounded hearts of these poor guys.
However, from another perspective, Mikami and his team may not be particularly enthusiastic about this game.
After all, Urobuchi and Shinji Mikami are better at making games with plots and stories, as well as a lot of wild imagination and creativity.
So after Qing Zhiyuan communicated with both parties, Mikami and his team expressed their support.
Urobuchi thought to himself: I am finally free from shooting games.
Although Mikami was a little regretful, after all, for him, making games requires a sense of faith and a beginning and an end.
However, from the perspective of professionalism and expertise, he agrees with President Qing Zhiyuan's approach.
As for the US subsidiary, they also agree and welcome the move of the "Border" game project to the US for development.
As for who will be in charge of the project and who will debug the feel of the guns...
All arrangements will be made by Brevik, and Qing Zhiyuan still has a basis of trust in them.
After the general direction is determined, the remaining work is to be handed over.
After returning to Japan, Qing Zhiyuan will send a few people to pack the project and bring it to the United States, and introduce all the detailed information and the existing development progress, including program tools, etc. to them clearly, and make sure that all the content is transferred before returning.
...
After doing these things, Qing Zhiyuan returned to Japan with a group of younger brothers.
It looks like a simple long trip.
However, this trip is not without gains.
Whether it is for the artists or Mikami and Gen Urobuchi, they have gained many extraordinary experiences and more new knowledge.
Mikami Shinji also liked to integrate guns and modern elements into the game before, and now he has a deeper understanding of guns.
After returning, Mikami also made a lot of notes.
Although these contents are not useful for the time being, they will be a valuable asset in the future.
After the manpower of the border project is released, it can be devoted to the new project.
Qing Zhiyuan was not too anxious to arrange it, but handed it over to Old Kyon and Mikami Shinji themselves, giving them some time to do what they want to do.
…
After returning to the company, it happened that Nasu Kinoko and Takeuchi Takashi had already written the new plan.
Qing Zhiyuan glanced through it quickly, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.
FSN.
The Holy Grail is a legendary treasure that can fulfill all the wishes of the holder, and the ceremony to obtain the Holy Grail is called the Holy Grail War.
The seven magicians selected by the Holy Grail who participated in the Holy Grail War are called Masters, and they have contracts with seven servants called Servants.
They are seven heroic spirits selected by the Holy Grail, divided into seven ranks, and summoned as servants.
There is only one group that can obtain the Holy Grail, and these seven groups of people are killing each other to become the last group.
Shirou Emiya, the adopted son of Kiritsugu Emiya, accidentally made a contract with the swordsman (Saber) among the Servant and was involved in the Holy Grail War.
Altria drawn by Takeuchi Takashi in the inner pages is shining.
Altria has soft and white skin, golden hair draped over her shoulders, emerald eyes, and a pretty face without makeup.
She is petite and stopped growing after she pulled out the sword in the stone at the age of 15.
In daily life, she will use blue ribbons as decoration to tie up her hair. When her hair is tied up, she looks gentle, dignified and beautiful, while when her hair is down, she looks gentle, virtuous, sweet and beautiful.
There is a stupid hair on the top of her head. Altria claims that this stupid hair symbolizes the glory of the king and no one can touch it.
Although she is only 154cm in stature, she has the qualities that are considered to be the best servants.
In addition, there are several outstanding heroines.
Tohsaka Rin, with black twin ponytails, is the eldest daughter of the Tohsaka family. She has a very high talent for magic, a powerful servant, and a tsundere personality...
There will definitely be a lot of boys who like her.
Matou Sakura, a standard wife, gentle, kind, and innocent, but unfortunately she was adopted by the Tohsaka family to the Matou family and became the adopted daughter of the Matou family. Because of this, her life has been quite miserable.
When Qing Zhiyuan thought of what happened to Matou Sakura in her previous life, he couldn't help but feel sorry and distressed for her.
And then...Illyasviel von Einzbern, the name is a bit long, abbreviated as Illya.
She has beautiful silver hair, a cute appearance, and a tragic experience.
...
To some extent, Nasu Kinoko's script is really comparable to Gen Urobuchi's, both of them are the type of people who seek light in the darkness.
This is no longer a simple swordswoman, it can even be described as heartbreaking.
Although Old Urobuchi slashes people, his sword is very fast and not painful.
However, Nasu Mushiko's sword is completely blunt, which makes people feel miserable.
This is especially evident in the Sakura line.
Each character has his own happiness and misfortune, and there is no perfect life, but it is precisely because of this that this group of people will rob the Holy Grail for their ideals, even at all costs, and pay a price beyond life.
This is exactly what Qing Zhiyuan wants.
"Sbarasi!!!"
Qing Zhiyuan stood up, folded his hands together, and applauded the two people.
…
“Excellent story setting, character design is also very unique, each character has his own unique destiny.
Add to that the summoning of heroic spirits, this game is enough to become a hot-selling product.”
“And your painting is also very good, whether it is Altria, Rin Tohsaka or Sakura Matou... Every character in it can be seen that you have put a lot of effort into it.
Very amazing.”
“No, no, it’s all because of your good guidance, President.”
Takashi Takeuchi smiled, “During this period of time, Mushroom and I have studied for a long time and explored a lot of content before polishing it into what it is now. In fact, Mushroom gave a lot of suggestions.”
“No way…”
Nasu Mushroom lowered his head, his cheeks slightly red.
“The president’s advice is still good, we all listen to the president.”
Although he said so, Qing Zhiyuan knew very well that when he discussed with the two people before, he only gave some guidance, and the rest of the content had to be filled in by themselves.
“Wonderful, too wonderful, it has reached the level of development.” Qing Zhiyuan smiled.
The two were flattered, looked at each other, and smiled happily.
After walking all the way here, they finally got the president's affirmation.
This feeling of happiness is completely beyond words, warm, a stream of heat flows through the chest and spreads throughout the body.
Nasu Kinoko and Takeuchi Takashi have an illusion of taking a bath.
I didn't expect that being praised by the president would feel like this.
However, the next second, Qing Zhiyuan's words brought them back to reality.
"I only have a small suggestion." Qing Zhiyuan said.
"Huh?"
The two quickly put away their smiles and sat on the sofa.
Nasu Kinoko and Takeuchi Takashi each took out their prepared notebooks and prepared to record Qing Zhiyuan's words.
"There is nothing else to say. In the line where Emiya defeated Gilgamesh, ah no, defeated Gilgamesh, the plot and rhythm are perfect."
"But, I only have one suggestion, ah no, it should be said that it is a request. I hope you can change the Sakura line."
"Huh?"
"Request or something... I really don't deserve it..." Takeuchi Takashi waved his hands in panic and turned his head to look at Kinoko.
Then the two turned to Qing Zhiyuan.
"Is there any problem with the Sakura line?"
"Sakura's experience is too tragic. Can we reduce some of Sakura's pain while keeping her main story line unchanged?
I mean, at least when she was at the Matou family, don't let her be abused by the young master of the Matou family."
Qing Zhiyuan really couldn't say the specific details.
Every time I think of it, I feel heartache.
If Sakura's story is written in detail, it can be harmonized.
In the previous life, countless players pitied her and loved her so much that they hated Matou Shinji to the bone. Matou Zouken was the same, and it was not excessive to cut her into pieces.
However, Qing Zhiyuan felt that it was okay to portray the cruelty and shamelessness of the Matou family, but it was not necessary to portray it to this extent.
Especially now, who really likes minotaurs?
As for being used by Matou Zouken to make Gu, it can be retained, but it will definitely not be portrayed as particularly bloody.
At least at this point in time, Qing Zhiyuan hopes to keep Sakura's innocent body for the players, which can be regarded as a kind of comfort.
"Well... But in this way, isn't Sakura's inner transformation a little insufficient to become the driving force of the pseudo-Holy Grail?"
"No." Qing Zhiyuan said firmly.
"Let's change it to another way. It's too heartbreaking. It's unbearable."
"Having a tragic past is enough. It doesn't have to be heartbreaking to advance the plot, right?"
"Okay, President."
Nasu Kinoko and Takeuchi Takashi nodded.
...
"What about Illya's line? Do you think it's a little too cruel?" Nasu Kinoko asked nervously.
"Well... you can consider it as appropriate." Qing Zhiyuan said.
Illya is actually quite tragic. In the UBW line, Berserker fought to the last moment to protect Illya from Gilgamesh, but still failed.
Illya was then killed by having her heart ripped out.
"It's not that you can't kill people with a knife, but give them a more artistic way of dying." Qing Zhiyuan said.
Like when they were developing Onmyoji before, the final ending was very artistic when the spirit left the world.
It was reflected through montage techniques, and it was almost impossible to feel the pain.
You described it in too much detail, which is a bit too much.
And there must be meaning and value in killing people.
You can't kill people just for the sake of killing people, or be heartbreaking just for the sake of being heartbreaking.
Forcing tears will only disgust the players, so you still have to grasp the right degree.
After Qing Zhiyuan explained, the two of them understood the president's idea.
…
"Okay, president." The two nodded and wrote down everything Qing Zhiyuan said.
In this way, there is no problem with the basic framework of FSN.
Three days later, Qing Zhiyuan arranged staff for them. In addition, considering that the two had never made a game before, they directly transferred a numerical and combat planner from the Pokémon project team to provide support.
FATE! Start!
