Chapter 455 Carrying the old will and opening up a new path!

　　【"Red Dead Redemption" carries the old will and opens up a new path! 】

　　【The designer who was praised by the players remembers his original intention. He is worthy of himself and the players! 】

With the selling price of 258, are the production costs exaggerated? 】

　　【Is it true that Bu Ya doesn't make money? 】

 …

The moment the price was announced, overwhelming marketing accounts began to promote news about Red Dead Redemption. No one talked about whether the game was good or bad, or whether it was right or wrong, because that person almost never made mistakes.

 When the production costs were made public, some outsiders shouted that it was impossible.

You don’t play games, but you have also heard of the so-called 3A. In international rating standards, things are often rated with letters A to E. “A” represents the best. Three “A”s, as the name suggests, are almost Top notch.

Each time there is an A, it means that this thing is very outstanding in a certain aspect.

As for which three “3A’s” refer to, they traditionally refer to “Alotofmoney”, “Alotofresources” and “Alotoftime”

  Simply put, it means that the development cost of the game is high, the development cycle is long, and it consumes a lot of resources.

This statement is only a commonly used term in general situations, because no professional department has a prescribed standard for the resources and time consumed.

 The term "3A" seems to be more like a concept, and there is no official standard like other fields.

 After I started making games, the first thing I broke was the public’s traditional understanding of production time. In the design process, is the production cycle very long?

 Perhaps in comparison, the time and money consumed in design are far less time-consuming than the time spent in intermediate thinking.

 Designers often need to spend a lot of time adjusting the original painting models in the game, and spend a lot of thought adjusting the game background story.

 But once the ideas are clear, the game production process will be much faster.

 Everyone just thinks that the old thief always has something new, and it seems that there will never be a day when his ideas run dry.

 In the past, the old thief broke the perception that "3A" requires a lot of time, but now he has redefined a lot of money.

 The amount of money spent is certain, but a small number of people are just wondering, is it really worth spending so much?

From the time we started making games until now, we have produced quite a few AAA games, but this is the only one that has cost so much money.

Outsiders are still speculating whether Bu Ya really spent so much, but internal employees know that the old thief really spent this amount on this game.

 Because there is an unwritten rule in the series of external publicity of Bubble Games, that is, you cannot tell lies.

 So until now when Meiya is making games, players are amazed at the promotional images and graphic details provided by Meiya. After entering the game, they are even more amazed that this is just the norm in the game, just a corner displayed at random.

Therefore, in the subsequent publicity production, our publicity pictures can only use real machines, and the publicity content must also be true.

 Having been making games for so long, Sprout has never broken this rule, and subsequent project teams will not break the rules themselves.

 “Boss, can we spend so much on our next game?” During the daily meeting of Sprout, after everyone summarized the work progress, one of them glanced at Wang Tao who was sitting aside, and looked at Ye Feng eagerly.

“If the project we are responsible for requires spending this money, Su Ya will not be stingy.” Ye Feng looked at the project leaders with a smile, not caring about the idle chatter after the meeting.

  Sprout has never been a cool company that only reports on work progress. After the regular meeting, everyone will stay in the office and brag about how awesome their project’s game is and what has happened recently.     Just like chatting after a meal, everything seems so natural.

The lights in the conference room were bright. Wang Tao was sitting slightly closer to Ye Feng. He was looking straight ahead and didn't seem to care about what others said.

Wang Tao straightened his collar, "Yes, the boss is not reluctant to give. If you can guarantee that you can make money back after spending so much money, then it doesn't matter how much you spend."

 “Some people seem to feel that they can make money back.” A strange voice came from the other direction.

 It’s not that they don’t want to spend money, it’s just that they have too many people.

Although there will be no penalty for not making money back, you have to be responsible for the employees in your department. The game that took so long to produce was just waiting to receive a generous bonus after it was released, but it ended up being ruined.

"Of course I can make money back." Wang Tao snorted, "This is an epoch-making work!"

Ye Feng stopped everyone’s fight, “There are some games that we must do, and sometimes it’s not about profitability.”

"Open world and freedom have become the evolutionary trend of future games. Players are no longer satisfied with linear, manufacturer-designed game routes. When we create a huge game world, players will want to explore. Go do something in the world by yourself." Although the route arranged by the manufacturer and the linear game journey will be interesting, the game will always have other small pleasures.

“We will also have other games in the future. Our future should be the sea of ​​stars.” Ye Feng said and looked at the project leader sitting below.

“I have a new project here, and I don’t know which project team to hand it over to at the moment. Let’s just say whichever project team finishes the game first will take over the project first.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Tao looked at Ye Feng in shock. Didn't he just give himself a "Give Him Love 5"?

 Do you have anything new prepared now? !

Although I have known for a long time that the old thief's stuff is inexhaustible, I still felt a little jealous when I saw the old thief coming up with a new plan.

The conference room became dead silent for an instant. Several project leaders first glanced at the "opponents" next to them. In the regular meeting report just now, everyone said that the project in hand was about to end.

“Brothers, we have been working together for so long, why don’t you give me this opportunity?”

“The project I’m working on is almost completed. You guys don’t want to fight with me, do you?”

“Let’s compare the time. Whoever finishes the job first will play the game.”

“But boss, what kind of game is this?”

 …

 Everyone knows that almost all of the games that Ye Feng can talk to everyone about are good games.

But there are no bad games in Germination so far.

 “The new game is called No Man’s Sky.”

“You should know what type of game this is from the name.”
