Video Game Designer - Chapter 555

c552 Use games to make documentaries

Looking at the promotional video of the game about War: Unification of the World on the computer, Liu Yuan’s eyes lit up.

It was so shocking and real, this kind of scene was just like the big scene when he saw Lao Mouzi’s golden armor all over the city.

Regardless of whether the plot in the movie is bloody or not, and the costumes are spicy or not, at least the scene of tens of thousands of people will definitely bring a visual shock.

And in the promotional video of this game, he also felt the shock. The soldiers all over the mountains and plains looked like a black mass of ants when viewed from a distance.

“I don’t know if it’s feasible to use this game to show the war scene.” Liu Yuan looked at the screen of the game promotional video and murmured in his heart.

He is shooting a war documentary, a documentary about the Warring States Period, the Battle of Changping between Qin and Zhao.

Unlike other documentaries, Liu Yuan wants to focus on the most core point, that is, war.

But he doesn’t have the investment and control of Lao Mouzi. The investment of the entire documentary is only one million yuan, and the entire crew plus props, directors, makeup artists and other people have a total of more than forty people. .

It is obviously impossible to shoot large-scale war scenes with such a staffing configuration.

At the beginning, according to Liu Yuan’s idea, it was to shoot with the virtual and the real, and the small to see the big, such as the outer city and some exterior scenes, if there is no money to set up, then use animation cutscenes instead.

Cruel wars do not have the funds and personnel to shoot, so find the corpse pit as a war site to shoot, reflecting how cruel the war is.

You can say that this is the ingenious use of the director’s technique, this is the ingenious processing of artistic means, but to put it bluntly.

The most fundamental thing is that there is no money!

When shooting war-themed scenes, which director doesn’t want to make big scenes like Lord of the Rings and Pearl Island?

“Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang!” Thinking of this, Liu Yuan hurriedly called out to a newcomer in the props team.

“Come on, director, what’s the matter?” A piece of clothing in his hand could smell the smell of sweat from two or three meters away, Xiao Zhang quickly ran to Liu Yuan’s side.

“This is a game, right? Download it for me on the computer, and I’ll see if I can use this instead of the war scene.” Liu Yuan pointed to the promotional video that was playing.

Hearing Liu Yuan’s words, Xiao Zhang glanced at the laptop on the table, listening to its hard disk clicking, and the configuration information in the lower right corner that was almost hard to read: “Director, this computer should not be able to run. This game.”

“Then get me a computer that can run, and hurry up.” Liu Yuan said indifferently.

? ? ? ? ?

Hearing Liu Yuan’s words, Xiao Zhang was stunned.

faster?

Now they are in the countryside, and they don’t necessarily have computers, so they want to get you a computer that can play 3A masterpiece games?

You are embarrassing me, Fat Tiger!

…………

“This game is not difficult, why are so many players playing and destroying the country?”

Looking at the latest data, Chuhe shook his head with emotion, and then put down the mouse in his hand.

According to the latest statistics, in the game of Unification of the World, the Seven Kingdoms have been destroyed a total of 8.1 million times; and another game, Napoleon’s Expedition, is even more powerful. Napoleon has died more than 11 million times in total. up.

When Ronil next to him heard Chu He’s words, the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, wanting to complain but not daring to complain.

It’s really not difficult, the gameplay of the entire game is designed by you, and this game itself is not a test of operation, of course it is not difficult if you are familiar with it.

But how can players know!

For example, when a player encounters hostile soldiers, especially when the number of his own side is larger than that of the other side, the first impression is to be reckless.

But who can imagine whether his team is out of touch with the main force, and whether the other party can send spies to seek support.

Whether you are close to your own troops, or the opponent is close to their reinforcements, and even some terrain aspects, how can ordinary players think so much when they first get started with this game!

Although the game has been simplified as far as possible in terms of internal affairs, in terms of war, according to Chuhe’s original GDD plan, and the team’s research.

The entire game uses a realistic battlefield, rather than just A past like most RTS games.

In the two wars, the environment, terrain and even time are elements that affect the battle. For example, in the Napoleonic Wars, if you did not go through the internal affairs system in the early stage and produced enough canned cotton jackets, then when you sent troops to Moscow, you would definitely encounter Waterloo.

To make the war as real as possible is the whole team’s idea.

At the same time, the general also has the setting of physical strength. When the physical strength is possessed, it can kill all directions just like the generals in Dynasty Warriors.

But once the stamina is exhausted, it is a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Seeing Chuhe lamenting over there, Ronil felt a little embarrassed, so should he go up and lick it now?

How should I lick it?

If you can’t just go up and say, Mr. Chu, you are awesome.

After all, all studios in the company know that Chuhe is just a rookie when playing games, and all kinds of cheat codes are not prepared for players, but for their beloved President Chu.

Forcibly boasting skills, this lick is too blunt.

Fortunately, it didn’t confuse Nepal for too long. The phone rang at the desk, which diverted Chuhe from the topic of whether the game was difficult or not.

“Do you use games to shoot documentaries?” Chu He had a slightly surprised expression on his face.

It is not so uncommon to shoot documentaries with in-game content. With the development of game technology, the pictures are getting better and better. Many documentaries have only used CG picture insertion using real-time calculation of games.

For example, it is also a work of Relic Studios, Company of Heroes was once used in a documentary about tanks shot by the BBC.

What really surprised Chuhe was that this was a domestic director who wanted to buy the right to use their Tianhe online game screens. At the same time, the other party said that this documentary would be broadcast on CCTV Channel 9.

“Ask them to meet. To be honest, I think it’s very interesting. By the way, is there anyone abroad who wants to use the game screen of Napoleon’s expedition to shoot a documentary?” Chu He made an appointment for a while, and then suddenly thought of something to say asked.

The secretary on the other end of the phone showed a speechless expression, and answered no very positively.

And when Chuhe was about to meet this sudden documentary crew, the War series, which had been on sale for a few days, was another big topic.

The difficulty is too high!

Countless players are discussing on social platforms such as game forums and post bars.
