Game Development: Starting with Recreating the Anime Game Style

Chapter 3 The Final Battlefront
Let's look at it from the other side.

If we use characters from "Final Battlefront" as pieces, the threshold is actually lowered.

for example.

Similarly, the "Holy Spirit" system, consisting of Morgana, Rhaast, and Senna, is another example of a team composition.
The "Soviet" squad consisted of AK47, Mosin-Nagant, and Makarov.

The "Star" squad is composed of Type 95, Type 97, and Type 02 aircraft.

For casual players, the latter is obviously easier to understand.

Even though players may not know the characters, they know the weapons behind them, so players will definitely become familiar with the pieces much faster than the former.

Furthermore, since Final Frontiers has already updated its character art, the addition of cute girl elements can enhance players' love for the pieces.

Different illustrations of beautiful girls make them more recognizable in actual use.

As Chu Chen spoke, the meeting room gradually quieted down.

Everyone's attitude gradually changed from initial skepticism to seriousness. Several key members of the production team, especially Song Yueying, listened very attentively and kept taking notes on key points.

What is the biggest fear for a game development company when making games?
It's not that I'm afraid the lead planner will be creative, but rather that I'm afraid the lead planner will lack a clear goal and create random ideas.

One idea today, another tomorrow.

Changes during game development are not like making a mistake with a pencil, which can be erased with an eraser.

Every change in development strategy means a huge waste of resources.

But now, the development plan that Chu Chen has outlined is exceptionally clear.

From gameplay and framework to what each department needs to do, when to what level, and how to ultimately complete the framework, what the artists need to do, and how to write the copy.

The program clearly explains what adjustments need to be made.

As time went on, Chu Chen gradually filled the whiteboard behind him with words, and then continued to paste notes filled with details onto it.

Someone even bought a set of chess pieces from outside.

They tried to simulate the scene as Chu Chen requested, so that a group of people could gather around, point and discuss, determine more details, and finalize the chessboard.

As the group watched Chu Chen finalize each detail and the game development project was settled one by one, they felt somewhat lost.

What was the purpose of our meeting today?

It seems like they're discussing how to break up.
Why do I feel so hot and bothered all over?! Mr. Chen went out to calm down for a while, and he seems like a completely different person.

Is it really possible to perfect the details of a project in just a few hours?

It seems like there's absolutely nothing we can add!
this..
Could it be that Mr. Chen is possessed by some kind of monster? Like... a monster that makes games?
Are all the MS in the Federation monsters?

No, are all bankrupt bosses monsters?!

In fact, their doubts are valid.

Chu Chen was able to speak so fluently because when Auto Chess became popular, he also thought about "paying tribute" to it.

It's just that at that time, he simply didn't have the ability to develop it on his own.

So they just made a "development process plan" and developed the game based on their imagination.

However, although it was based on fantasy, the "development process plan" was real, and now that I'm back in the present, inspiration naturally flows freely.

Moreover, everyone sitting in the office now is one of his own people, so he naturally has no intention of hiding anything.

For the next few hours, the conference room became Chu Chen's stage.

Chu Chen was completely open and honest about this project, filling six large sections of the whiteboard with his own writing, drawing dozens of sketches, and listing over a hundred requirements.

As he continued to explain, the outline of a game slowly began to emerge in everyone's minds.

This was a very shocking thing for everyone at the meeting.

When they looked at the numerous details on the whiteboard and the "game scene" model built with chess pieces on the conference table, the feeling was basically no different from seeing a god descend to earth.

Chu Chen recounted all of this.

It would be difficult for them to recount even the games they created in the past with this kind of effect, let alone bring the project in their minds to life. And not everyone in the audience is a newcomer.

Many seasoned veterans in the industry, before this meeting, viewed Chu Chen as a passionate boss who didn't know much about game development.

But this time, they saw a completely different side of Chu Chen.

"This is an explosive power!"

Although they didn't understand what Chu Chen had gone through, they were truly convinced by his performance tonight.

It is said that people can unleash their full potential in desperate situations.

Many people used to think this statement was nonsense, but after today, they truly believe that some people can unleash their inner strength in dire situations.

~~~
Time flies by like a white horse.

Several months have passed in the blink of an eye, and it's already early March.

Shanghai, a city that never lacks vitality.

For many college students, weekends are a time to freely enjoy their youth, but for some, the meaning of weekends is simply to allow them to stay up late on Friday without worrying about having to work 8 a.m. the next day.

Ye Feiyang is a typical representative of these "certain people".

If it weren't for the sudden noise in the dormitory, he probably would have slept until sunset, combining breakfast and lunch into one dinner.

"Holy crap, you can get twenty quick construction scrolls for inviting a friend!?"

"Old Yang! Old Yang! Get up! Help me click on this link!"

Ye Feiyang turned over in a daze.

"What link?"

"Hey, what's your computer password?! I'll figure it out myself!"

"Oh, my password is 666666"

After mumbling a reply and giving Lao Wang the computer's login password, Ye Feiyang planned to turn over and sleep a little longer.

However..
Once this person wakes up, it will be difficult for them to fall back asleep.

After being confused for a few more minutes...

Ye Feiyang finally scratched his head and sat up. By this time, the topic of conversation in the dormitory had changed.

"Old Wang, what are we having for lunch?"

"Eating in the cafeteria?"

"Oh, bring me one too!"

"Godfather! I'm still here!"

Ye Feiyang, who was still somewhat sleepy, was jolted awake by this and shouted.

"Me too!!!"

"No way, I haven't even said I'd bring you guys food yet!"

The conversations in the dormitory are often this boring.

The unlucky fellow named Lao Wang was speechless at the sight of his adopted sons. Who told him to be so cheeky and say something like "eat in the cafeteria"?

It’s also absolutely amazing.

Even so, Old Wang still went to the canteen to bring food for his godson.

Ye Feiyang got up, washed up briefly, and sat down in front of his laptop.

"Huh? My computer's on... Oh right, Lao Wang was just saying he wanted to create some kind of link."

In front of Ye Feiyang was a typical game start screen.
