Game Development: Starting with Recreating the Anime Game Style

Chapter 39 Why is it so awesome?
A few minutes later, the man with the buzz cut came out of the office and gently closed the door behind him.

He glanced at Qin Ruohua, who was still standing at the door, and then sighed.

"You, you."

This was clearly not the place to talk, so Liu Bo didn't say much, but simply led the other person to the stairwell.

Liu Bo took out a cigarette case from his pocket and handed one to Qin Ruohua.

Qin Ruohua waved her hand.

"No, Brother Liu, I don't smoke."

Liu Bo didn't force him. He lit one himself, took a puff, and only then did he speak amidst the swirling smoke.

"What do you think?"

As the operations team leader of the Wanmei A7 project, Liu Bo's position is not high, but he is the one who actually gets things done in the project team, and he is the one who leads the front-line workers.

So even though he was full of incomprehension, he didn't get angry at Qin Ruohua.

After all, they were his own soldiers, and he was very clear about how they treated him both internally and externally.

Qin Ruohua replied with a bitter face.

"I didn't think much about it. I really think that video is more useful than any report. You can understand why 'Final Front' is so popular at a glance."

"Besides, Brother Liu, didn't you previously teach us to bravely express our thoughts? Just now, when President Song passed by, he asked me if I had any ideas, and I said yes, and then he called me into his office."

"."

"And then you let him watch the video?"

Seeing Qin Ruohua nod as if it were the most natural thing in the world, Liu Bo was completely speechless.
Although Perfect World is a game company, if you really treat it as a game company, you're doomed. So after listening to Qin Ruohua's reply...

He immediately realized that this might not really be Qin Ruohua's fault.

Liu Bo knew what kind of person that bald-headed Song was—a typical leader who knew nothing about anything.

They don't understand what's wrong with the company, can't grasp what the problem means, can't propose the right solutions, are incompetent at everything internally, but are envious when they see others making money.

"Bring the tablet over here so I can take a look."

Hearing Liu Bo say that, Qin Ruohua felt a little better. At least her direct supervisor was on her side, so she quickly turned on the tablet.

I opened Bilibili and clicked on my favorites. My favorites folder was empty, with only two videos.

One called...

Can you withstand this confession? A streamer watches the 95 Oath animation, highlighting his spending on in-game purchases!

The other one is...

Why is the storyline of Final Battlefront so addictive?

The former has now reached nearly 70 views, while the latter has reached around 30 views.

To be honest, although writing the final battle report wasn't his responsibility—after all, he already had a lot to do and didn't have time to pay attention to such trivial matters—he wasn't really in charge.

But I was just in the office.

After chatting with Bald Song for a few minutes, he also became curious about the game that could make Bald Song jealous. He put out his cigarette and casually clicked on a video below.

Why is the storyline of Final Battlefront so addictive?

Normally, videos that are clearly just pure praise won't get many views.

But clearly, this is not the normal situation.

The fact that this video has garnered hundreds of thousands of views within just a few hours of being uploaded only shows that there are many people searching for "Final Battlefront" on Bilibili right now, and that many people agree with his viewpoint.

The video content is actually not complicated. It talks about a few cases, such as analyzing the last scene of the main storyline of "Final Front".

Liu Bo also took this opportunity to glance at the last scene of the first chapter of "The Final Battlefront".

The plot of this scene is not complicated. It depicts a commander wearing an exoskeleton, carrying an electromagnetic cannon, shouting "Die!!" under the cover of a humanoid squad.

A single shot pierced the brain of the AI ​​commander who was directing the battle. Immediately afterwards, the camera cut back to the AI ​​soldiers engaged in fierce combat on the front lines.

The movements of the android soldiers across the entire battle line suddenly came to a standstill.

The once flexible mechanical limbs froze in place.

The weapon's energy glow quickly dimmed.

The torrent of metal that had surged forward like a tidal wave, fearless and relentless, now stood like a sculpture paused on time; it no longer attacked, no longer moved.

One by one, the indicator lights on its body went out, eventually turning it into a pile of cold, metallic scrap.

The silence on the battlefield lasted only a few seconds. Immediately afterward, the humanoids, having recovered, erupted in deafening cheers.

"We won!" "Long live the Commander!"

Countless voices converged.

Back to the front-line command center.

The technicians monitoring the virtual map stared wide-eyed at the sudden drop in enemy numbers.

"what happened!"

The commander who was directing the frontline androids next to him also rubbed his eyes in disbelief. The screen clearly showed the information transmitted from the front: the enemy's frontline commander had been killed in action, and all enemy units were paralyzed.

One of them slowly turned his head.

"That guy, that guy did it, he succeeded!!"

The entire command center was initially deathly silent, then erupted into a tremendous roar.

"He really did it!"

"He's a hero!!!"

~~~
That concludes the final scene of the game in the video; what follows is the commentary from the video creator.

"I wonder what everyone felt when they saw this scene."

"Let me start with my opinion, it boils down to one word: awesome!"

"That's just right!"

"The plot development of 'Final Battlefront' can be summed up in one word."

"Dian!"

"Hey, don't rush to refute me."

“I know that nowadays, when people talk about classical allusions, many people think they are clichéd and just a routine.”

"But the word 'classic' can also have a negative connotation, implying that you lack originality."

"But it can also be positive, saying that you have accurately grasped what the audience wants to see most!"

"The Final Battlefront is the latter!"

"A classic among classics, but a classic among classics in a positive sense!"

"For example, at the end, why did the production team arrange for other frontline commanders to shout lines like 'He's a hero!' or 'He saved us!'?"

"If you put it in a work that pursues 'rationality,' it might feel a bit awkward."

"It's too straightforward, not subtle enough."

"But why is it arranged this way in 'The Final Battlefront'?"

"Because of emotional needs!"

"Brothers, games are not classical literature. They're not for you to nitpick over words or analyze profound meanings."

"Here, the instrumental function of text outweighs its literary function."

"The players worked hard, fought bloody battles, and did something to save the war. Why can't they hear a few kind words?"

Why can't NPCs openly praise you?

"We want players to experience this for themselves!"

"It's just like watching a movie."

"What the audience needs is more than just emotional highs, such as the explosive moment when the commander blows up the AI ​​with a single shot."

"We also need to see how others react after the emotional high."

"what is this?"

"This is an emotional buffer! It's also a moment that allows players to further experience the game's charm!"

"It's to make you feel, 'Wow, what I just did was awesome!'"

"This sense of satisfaction is more important than anything else!"

"So, if you ask me, the fact that they were able to come up with this plot is truly a testament to StarCraft's ability to make money!"
