John quite wanted to draw what he wanted, but the problem was that he couldn't draw at all. Sketching a person, even if he did, he won't get a good look from the stickman, this is the level of John's painting. The game art style in the dream memory can be said to be quite ugly and disgusting.
You can choose from the style of art, match the plot, and even combine the gameplay, saying that these are all linked one by one. But the main core reason is that the style is easier to produce, John still has a little determination.
Gameplay design, creative elements, etc. John feels that the other party is much higher than himself, but in terms of art elements, John feels that the other party is only due to cost issues, and there is no way to hire a special artist. If you look carefully, you will find that the game is in memory, most of the characters and monsters are carved in a mold.
John is a person with art outsourcing, who can make the picture better and the characters more cute. But Barton decided to follow the style in memory. It is not for others, just for a gimmick. The games on the market are all cute and attractive girls, and suddenly a big dragon appears to take her, would you be curious, and then take a look?
It is just like a boy in women's clothing, which stems from a person's curiosity. Many men wearing female clothes on the video site are extremely spicy, but the click volume is quite high. It is because of the psychology.
Regarding the style of the game, John did not intend to do it disgustingly but took a grotesque and ugly route. After all, what John wants is a gimmick that makes the player feel strange, rather than disgusting the player. This is also the safest method. As for keeping the original taste of the game, this has to be done according to the actual situation.
For example, the style of illustration should be more in line with the aesthetics of the people in this country and weaken the original storyline. According to the plot of this game in the dream memory, it is from a Bible, but the players in this country don't know what a Bible is.
Change the story, time is not allowed, at least in such a short time to come up with a good story, John thinks that his ability can not achieve this. So to weaken the performance of the plot, focus on the gameplay, this is the main task.
After discussing it for almost an hour or so at the request of John, Barton sketched a rather joyful character with a big head and no nose.
"Yes, it is this style, the style of monsters, to maintain a grotesque style, but also a little cute, not disgusting and terrible." John nodded and looked at the original painting on Barton's computer.
"Does this style? I understand." Save the file and Barton stood up: "If you provide a game script, we can create better."
After signing the contract, it is the basic thing to provide the outsourcer with a game script, including the original painting contract. These things have an accurate image in the mind of the producer, just like the script of the comic and the design of the character. It needs words to describe specific things, as it is impossible for every character to stay beside the art staff, telling him a little bit about what he needs. Fortunately, there are not so many things in the small production.
When John left "Forestfruit Sports" and returned home, it was already about 5:30 in the evening.
"How's it going?" John walked in and looked at the door, Luna sitting on the sofa watching TV stood up and walked towards John.
"The other party's strength is pretty good. In addition to the arts, everything including the program is outsourced to them, but I need to provide them with a script to let them more intuitively determine what style the game is." John put his bag on the table, then took out the signed contract and put it in the bookcase in his room.
He is responsible for the general direction of the production, while the rest, even the program, is outsourced. This sounds unreliable, but in fact, this is a normal thing. Even some big manufacturers often do this kind of thing, outsourcing game projects to other studios, but they have a more professional, it sounds better, and its name is: OEM.
As for whether it will be plagiarized, John is not worried at all, because the two parties will go to the game committee to register the relevant information. This is also to protect creative genres, or plot-oriented games from the outsourcing company.
"Alright!" Luna responded suddenly.
"However, let me find a job tomorrow, after all, I shouldn't be lazing such for a long time," Luna said lying on John's body, her face close to his face.
Although she said that she was responsible for the initial personnel and finance, they are still bare-bones, and all the game art programs are given to outsourcing companies.
"No, we will expand the scale soon. With the volume of "Forestfruit Sports", if it goes well, they will be able to complete the demo version in about a week. When the game reaches the beta version, it can be directly sold in advance. We are recruiting ourselves to complete the subsequent update of the game." John shook his head and told Luna in detail.
Of course, there is one sentence he did not say, that is, this is based on the success of the game. If the game fails, he may really not have the talent in the game industry, after all, this is also regarded as standing on the shoulders of giants, so if they can fail, then he is probably not suitable, even if he likes the game.
"When the game has made money, I want to get a Samoyed dog, I always want to raise it!" Luna's chin rested on John's shoulder and said.
"Samoyed doesn't seem to be very smart. And compared to the dog problem, I want to know when we can eat, my stomach is hungry!" Turning his head, John raised his hand and pinched Luna's face very seriously.
"Ah... I forgot to do it?" Luna heard John's words, her head twisted sideways.
So, did you forget to do it, or instead of being too lazy to do it? John looked at her and could not help but sigh in silence: "Forget it, let's eat outside."
