"The president is here."
After everyone who was chatting heard the sound of the door opening, they all quieted down.
Although there is nothing taboo about work in normal times, Zhu Yuxing is also very talkative. As long as he completes his assigned work according to the prescribed time, even if he occasionally touches fish, there is no problem.
But this time Zhu Yuxing was very serious and let them gather together.
It was known before they got together that Final Fantasy was going to be in development, and in fact some members of the team had been temporarily brought in to work on the game.
But it wasn't particularly formal at that time, and it was only now that Zhu Yuxing was really serious about getting them together.
This level of attention is also very rare.
The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and Zhu Yuxing was ready to break the silence.
"Don't be too nervous, everyone, this time is actually the same as you used to, as long as you complete your respective division of labor and develop the game.
"
Soon, two young men came in with a cart containing two boxes of bound paper.
"This is my new game development plan, and this time my goal is not limited to your three game development teams. The engine development team and special effects production team in the United States will also do their best to cooperate with you. work."
Take Yuxing picked up an A4-sized booklet in the cart, and then let the staff who came to help distribute it.
Some of the more shrewd employees immediately stepped forward and started to help distribute the brochures. After five or six minutes, the brochures had been distributed to everyone present.
For a while, the whole conference room sounded the sound of paper flipping.
They are all seriously looking at this brand new game development plan.
In the past, when Zhu Yuxing wanted to develop a game, there was this process, but this time the thickness of the plan was obviously thicker than the previous one.
This also means that Zhu Yuxing attaches great importance to the development of the new game this time, and he will probably devote more energy to the development of the new game.
Taking the pamphlet, Take Yusei explained: "There is the initial outline of the plot, the background of the game is set in an era similar to steampunk and near-future technology, and it will include the standard configuration of Final Fantasy that players are familiar with. : Crystals, Chocobos, and adventures on the big map, etc."
"Up to now, the structure of the entire game worldview in this project is still at a relatively elementary stage, and what I need now is to let you all in me Based on the provided framework, the background of the story will be enriched."
These people looked at it very seriously, and the general world view of Final Fantasy 7 has been described in the project case.
The details that need to be added are nothing more than hydrology, social structure, and so on.
These are the settings that are emphasized in the document that must be built.
Everyone was a little surprised when they saw this.
Because before that, most of the story backgrounds of Final Fantasy stayed in the medieval background, at most with a little bit of technical basis for the industrialization of steel.
Moreover, it was rare for Take Yusei to ask for such a detailed description of the background of the story before.
It seems that Zhu Yuxing really intends to completely build an overhead world view, and then fill it with various logical fantasy elements.
The plot designers felt that it was a bit difficult to see such a request, which is quite different from the work they have done before.
It seems that first of all they have to get all these settings done.
"If you have any questions, you can ask them now, and then I will explain to you more details of my requirements."
In the planning case, in addition to the requirements for a detailed description of the setting, there are naturally about the gameplay itself.
This time the entire big map will be bigger, bigger than any previous role-playing game.
So there are more demands.
Level designers, as well as gameplay designers, have to figure out how to make the game map expand without making the world look boring.
Players can't feel that the whole world is too empty.
And it can't make a lot of perfunctory coping behaviors that are popular with open worlds in later generations.
It is necessary to strive to make each area of the big map have its own unique content to make the world look more real.
The plot designers had a headache just now, and not long after, the level and gameplay designers also had some scalp tingling.
Filling a large map with a lot of entertainment games? This is just crazy, even if they can really make it, the capacity of this game will probably break through the sky, right?
Now our game consoles... oh, by the way, the new GS1 game console has jumped from the original SFC's capacity of only a few dozen MB to more than 2GB in an instant.
And through the future new technology expansion of optical disc, this capacity can continue to double.
So, it seems that it can really do a lot.
In the past, they have always made as much rich content as possible in the limited game capacity space.
In the early days, for the capacity of just a few KB, you could think about breaking your head and tangled.
However, this time the GS1 directly increased the capacity content that was once very cherished by dozens of times, which is like a shotgun for a cannon.
"President, I have a question."
Uesugi Yuki raised his hand at this time.
Zhu Yuxing looked at him and said, "Tell me."
"President, with so much content in this game, will players feel tired because of too much content?"
Hearing this question, everyone else raised their heads.
In fact, they had a similar idea just now.
In the past, no matter how crazy they saved resources in a limited space, the overall process of the game was so much that it could not be enriched at all.
Unless you want to play for a few weeks and add drama to yourself, such people are generally true fans, but they can't serve only for true fans.
Hearing this question, Zhu Yuxing smiled: "How big do you think the player's threshold is?"
"This..."
Uesugi Yuuki thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "I don't know, I just subconsciously feel the game's There's too much content."
Zhu Yuxing said: "Actually, it's not enough."
The game that is really rich in content is estimated to be a super large role-playing online game.
Like World of Warcraft.
Compared with World of Warcraft, the content of stand-alone role-playing games such as Final Fantasy 7 is still slightly inferior.
And World of Warcraft players can accept it, and there is no problem with Final Fantasy 7, but these people in this world do not know.
