Chapter 281 Steampunk
"Motion capture studio?"
Lin Yao was a little surprised when she heard what Chen Qiuwen said.
In fact, she has been thinking about this thing.
She also has a deep understanding of the efficiency of motion capture technology. She worked as a game original artist in her previous life, so she can be considered to understand the situation of domestic game companies. It
is similar to here. There are not many opportunities to use it in normal times. Most of the work is done by manual k-frame. Motion capture will only be considered when it cannot be solved.
Even Tencent will only use motion capture to produce opening animations for certain major works.
For example, the opening animation of Douzhashin.
But in the following years, motion capture has been used more and more in games, and its position in game development has become more and more important. For games like "Detroit: Become Human", motion capture actors have even become popular.
And Lin Yao has actually been thinking about whether Linmu Studio should also set up a motion capture department.
Because she is just one person.
As the scale of Linmu Studio expands, there may be a demand in this area in the future, and it will be huge.
"Yeah." Chen Qiuwen nodded, not hearing the strong curiosity revealed in Lin Yao's words.
He was still waiting anxiously for a reply.
He was really worried.
Because if you put yourself in his shoes, he would never agree...
Lin Yao also saw it, she temporarily put aside the matter of the motion capture studio, turned around and picked up the plan that Chen Qiuwen took out.
"Let's talk about this."
"...Okay."
Lin Yao then talked to Chen Qiuwen in detail about the plan.
How do you want to do it, what will it look like in the end, how is the gameplay, what type is it, how to design it...
Mu Wanqing glanced at Lin Yao, smiled, and then quietly left to do her own thing.
Lin Yao and Chen Qiuwen talked for about an hour and a half.
Chen Qiuwen talked more and more smoothly, and in the end he almost said all his ideas without reservation.
Lin Yao listened, and then flipped through the plan he gave.
I think this game is completely feasible.
In fact, this is a good thing.
People, especially workers.
It is normal to work for a salary.
But it is actually a good thing to have some ideals and want to realize yourself.
Otherwise, you will become numb and your enthusiasm will fade as you work. No matter how high the salary is, it doesn't matter. After the basic needs are met, it becomes normal to just muddle through.
However.
Although it is completely feasible.
But the game is still a little bit off.
Lin Yao has played a lot of games. This game is acceptable, but it is probably difficult to make people's eyes shine. The only thing that feels particularly outstanding is the setting of the witch.
Chen Qiuwen referred to the legend and fictionalized a race of witches, and also described the ethnic habits and lifestyle in detail, which is quite novel.
But Lin Yao personally thinks that something more eye-catching can be added to it.
"It's good, but..."
Lin Yao nodded, and then asked: "You only talked about the Victorian period in your world view. Is it simply set in that period?"
"Uh... Actually, I haven't thought about this aspect yet." Chen Qiuwen scratched his head.
This is not his strong point, so he was busy thinking about the content of the game.
"Okay... Actually, this can be done. I have a suggestion."
Lin Yao thought about it, turned around, suddenly pulled out an A4 paper, and started drawing.
Chen Qiuwen leaned over to take a look, and then waited patiently.
Fifteen minutes later.
Lin Yao turned around again and showed Chen Qiuwen the sketch she had drawn.
It was a "soldier", but not like a soldier, because his lower body was not human legs, but super-long mechanical leg armor full of steel beauty...
This tall, weird but handsome soldier stood on the leg armor, holding a crossbow in his right hand and a projectile in his left hand, as if roaring.
Next to the soldier, there was also a knife.
But it was different from an ordinary knife in that this knife had two forms, one was the normal form, and the other was folded up, leaving only the handle.
"...What is this?"
Chen Qiuwen was stunned and looked at the soldier.
From his limited knowledge, at the scientific level.
This thing is just funny.
But it is indeed full of industrial beauty and very handsome!
"Soldier."
Lin Yao raised the A4 paper in her hand and handed it to him, and then said: "I wonder if you have heard of steampunk?"
"Steampunk?" Chen Qiuwen looked at the A4 paper given by Lin Yao again and was shocked.
"Steam refers to large machinery powered by steam engines, and punk is a non-mainstream fringe culture. You can simply understand it as a special fictional world."
Lin Yao explained: "I think "The Witch" can use the 19th century as the background, and then assume that there is a new technology in the industrial period, showing a completely new and different world, such as the coexistence of advanced and backward, magic and science, some people are driving robots to fight, and some people are using magic...
For example, this soldier can be set like this, do you see the jar behind him? That's whale oil, and this set of mechanical leg armor is powered by whale oil.
"The Witch" is a world where witches and humans coexist. There is magic, but there is also this kind of black technology that is impossible to exist in reality, primitive and advanced.
The Industrial Revolution of the 19th century, gears, pistons, bearings and... witches.
These are probably the key words."
"..."
Zhang Qiuwen's eyes widened again.
This sounds ridiculous.
But for some reason, it feels very exciting.
And it's right.
The witch is hypothetical.
Why can't we assume a... 19th century kingdom with black technology?
At this moment.
Zhang Qiuwen thought a lot, and all kinds of ideas came to his mind.
"How is it?" Lin Yao asked.
"Very cool, really cool. Your idea is really cool."
Chen Qiuwen sighed: "I am still far from it. I'll go back and think about it, Mr. Lin."
"What are you thinking about?"
Lin Yao laughed: "Add it to the witch. I was just giving you a suggestion. Your plan is pretty good. Try it. After all, Greenlight provides technical support to other third parties. It's too stupid for people in your own studio to deliberately get stuck when they want to make a potential game."
Chen Qiuwen was stunned: "..." "
Put aside "Fantasy OL" for the time being. This is a new project. You are in charge of the team. You should coordinate the personnel with Zhong Xiu and Miss Mu. However, I don't think we can spare so many people for you in the short term. We've been very busy recently."
Lin Yao went over the recent workload of the studio: "In addition, give a rough budget and give it to Miss Mu..."
"Mr. Lin agreed!? Does Mr. Lin also want to participate in the project? He will definitely participate, right?"
Zhang Qiuwen suddenly came back to his senses, interrupted Lin Yao directly, and asked with surprise and expectation.
Lin Yao was a little speechless: "You are the leader, you want me to be a laborer before the project even starts, and you don't want me to be deeply involved..."
Chen Qiuwen was a little embarrassed: "It's not a laborer, it's the core. The steampunk that Mr. Lin just mentioned is really interesting, but I am not good at the world view, and I only have a general impression of the steampunk you mentioned..."
"Okay, of course I will provide support."
Lin Yao smiled and shook her head.
In fact, the studio's Vaporwave game platform has reached this point, and it is indeed time to make a real masterpiece.
There must be a signboard.
"The Witch" is good, the concept is quite interesting. If you add the steampunk style of "Dishonored", and borrow the cool abilities given by the Mark of the Outsider in it.
It feels really potential.
"Thank you."
Chen Qiuwen saw the healing smile on Lin Yao's face, and suddenly calmed down, bowed his head slightly and whispered thank you.
When he said this, he didn't dare to let Lin Yao see his face.
Finally.
After so many years of struggling in small companies.
Finally, an opportunity came to Linmu Studio.
Chen Qiuwen was filled with mixed feelings.
He felt that perhaps the best decision he had made in his life was to switch to Linmu Studio.
"Thank you, no need."
Lin Yao smiled and continued, "Let's talk about the motion capture studio."
