September 13th, Monday.
The conference room is not large, only about 30 square meters, but the studio, including Maxim, only has six people, so it does not look crowded.
The five youngsters who were sitting around the round table, besides being a little excited, were also nervous and they looked a little claustrophobic even when they were sitting.
All five have played Ghost Fear and Cup Head and they all contribute emotional points.
However, they still greatly admired Maxim.
The same young man, when they were still looking for work, Maxim had already made two popular games and became a one-star game designer.
Compared to Maxim, the distance between them was simply too great.
Moreover, they entered King's game development studio only after passing through the screening layer, so they appreciated their current work and were also proud of it.
"Don't be nervous, everyone, I'm not a demon, it's just a casual meeting, I'll talk about the next game, and everyone's division of labor, so just relax." Maxim smiled and comforted the five young men.
The two boys were fine After taking a few deep breaths, they relaxed a little.
The three girls almost adjusted their condition, but when they saw Maxim's smile, their faces suddenly turned red.
He looked more nervous than before.
Maxim was also a little helpless about this, after all, there was nothing wrong with the three girls, only that he was extremely handsome.
“Oke, everyone will be co-workers from now on. To facilitate communication, please introduce yourself first!” maxim's Advice.
The bespectacled boy stood up first and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Ace, and I apply for the main program."
"Hello everyone, my name is Archie, and I apply for numerical planning" another boy said.
The quiet-looking girl in the white dress introduced herself in a slightly low voice and said, "Da... Hello everyone, my name is Daisy, and I'm applying for a plot plan."
“Halo everyone, my name is Agnes, and I applied to the main art department.” The girl who spoke had long hair reaching the waist and had an elegant temperament, as if she was a talented girl from a learned family.
“Halo everyone, my name is Lili , and I applied for music production.” The last girl had short hair that matched her ears. Although he also wore glasses, he gave off a valiant feeling.
Maxim applauded lightly and said, "I don't need to introduce more, King Maxim, everyone of your age, you can call me Brother King or Max."
"Okay, Brother King."
"Furthermore, let's talk about his new game,” Maxim said and wrote The Legend of Sword and Fairy in five great characters on the board.
Looking at the name of the game, the five of them were stunned for a moment, Archie was the first to ask, "Sister King, what kind of game is this?"
"domestic RPGS."
"Ah this..." The five of them looked surprised.
"What's? Is there a problem? Speak up and discuss," Maxim said with a smile.
"Brother King, domestic RPGs have been around for almost ten years, and they haven't produced a good piece of work yet. Even the best-selling Shen Ding Sword Record, their sequel, either in terms of sales or ratings, can only barely pass by" Agnes said.
Shen Ding Sword Record is a domestic RPG developed by the Axton Game Company ten years ago, which at the time sparked a wave of martial arts games.
During that period, at least seven or eight out of ten domestically produced games were related to martial arts.
But there was still no game that could shake the status of the Shen Ding Sword Record.
After Axton tasted the sweetness, almost every year, he would release a sequel to the Shen Ding Sword Record.
It was a pity that one generation was not as good as the next, Axton had just launched the Shen Ding Sword Record Nine, the sales volume was not even half of the first generation and the evaluation was only six points.
Now players are somewhat resistant to domestic RPG games and feel there will be no more booms.
This was also the reason why five people would be shocked.
According to them, it is estimated that the only way to do a domestic RPG is to fail.
Maxim had long anticipated his fifth worry.
In general, the first generation Shen Ding Sword Record, although the story was also the protagonist of the Virgin who saved the world, but at least the story was told in full.
Moreover, there were almost no domestic RPGs back then, so the appearance of Shen Ding Sword Record was much sought after by players.
It's unfortunate that Axton don't seem to realize this, and think that the quality of their game is very good, so they did it.
Moreover, with the blessings of the Shen Ding Sword Record II, even though its sales and ratings had declined slightly, in general they were still good, which made Axton more assertive of their ideas.
So much so that Axton spent all of his energy developing the Shen Ding Sword Record sequel, enterprising spirit.
Then it's okay, as long as it polishes the plot well, with such a feeling, the player will still buy it.
However, screenwriter Axton seems to be drinking too much, and continues to break away, so the plot is increasingly becoming.
Shen Ding Sword and Sword Record Nine also had a scene where the male protagonist inexplicably chased away the female protagonist.
How could players not run wild?
Without the blessing of the previous dynasty, Maxim was convinced that the Shen Ding Sword Record Nine score would definitely fail.
So not because there is no market for domestic RPGs, but everyone does not do a good job in domestic RPGs.
"Don't worry, I know it's in my heart. As long as you do your own work, The Legend of Sword and Fairy will never let you down."
"Yes. Brother King."
Although Maxim is very approachable from start to finish, he is nevertheless his own boss.
All the bosses have decided to make a domestic RPG, they just need to do their job well.
Moreover, the two Maxim games were very successful, so they were not blindly pessimistic about The Legend of Sword and Fairy.
"OKAY. This is your job, read first, and ask questions directly."
Maxim distributed the game framework and the division of labor to five people, the more people, the greater the power.
As long as they carry out their respective duties, if there is no accident, the game can be done in about two or three months.
It's still Maxim's time to run the team and deal bugs and other issues to the account, when Maxim made Cuphead himself, it took almost a month, he said, and Alex follows the trend of Robot The Great Adventure made in just a few days.
The reason is Alex hires people to help, some are in charge of drawing characters there are in charge of the scene, and some are in charge of making music and sound effects.
Then he integrated these resources and Robot Adventures was born.
The workload of The Legend of Sword and Fairy was no less than Cuphead or even more.
After all, there were hundreds of characters, monsters, bosses, etc. on the stage, and there were many ordinary NPCs.
Merrka also needs to do plots, draw scenes, add music, sound effects, etc.
Character skills and throwing props also require different special effects.
There are also values of various equipment, props, drugs and other things, so there is no room for carelessness, so as not to cause the game to crash due to data expansion.
In some plots, animations are also added.
If Maxim did it himself, it would probably take more than half a year and he would have to pray that there would be no accidents.
In about half an hour, the five of them had almost completed the job for which he was responsible.
Ace was thinking about how to draw the feelings of the fairy Zhao Linger when he looked around accidentally, only to find that Daisy's eyes were already red.
"Daisy, what's wrong with you?" Ace could not help but ask.
Although everyone had just met, but after all, they were all girls who wanted to cooperate in the future, Ace thought it was better to take care of them.
After Daisy shook her head slightly, she looked at Maxim and asked, "Sister Max, does this have to end like this? Can't we change it?"
