EBE Chapter 75: Aurora's Clever Touches, FPS Biohazard Mode
Chapter 75: Aurora's Clever Touches, FPS Biohazard Mode
Paper wedding dress!
Indeed, wherever Shen Huaizhou's gaze fell, what came to mind was this small-sized item from his previous life!
However, within the horror game genre of bed and breakfasts, it can be considered a masterpiece!
There's really nothing particularly noteworthy about the gameplay.
However, the storyline has won the approval of many players!
In particular, the practice of having one OST for each game is something that many domestic games cannot do.
However, this was just a small project for Shen Huaizhou.
It's just an appetizer before or after the product is officially launched.
However, this is a completely new project that Hu Chen started independently after leaving Aurora!
Shen Huaizhou simply marked his clever idea and then handed the project proposal to Hu Chen.
Then I returned to my desk and began my day of writing.
……
That's why it's called a game studio under Black Dragon.
Compared to smaller studios that want to replicate zombie games, Aurora Games has a much better sense of smell.
Between FPS shooting games and zombie horror games.
They hadn't even noticed this natural ally before!
Or rather, they never imagined that zombie games would become popular again after so many years!
So far, no actual gameplay video of the Insomnia Studio has been released!
"Mr. Ji, we simply don't have the time to imitate this game in a short period of time..."
"Their project is kept extremely secret."
Not a single piece of information has been revealed.
Following the announcement by Insomnia Studio at the East Glory Games Expo, zombie shooting games have inspired countless companies to start imitating them.
It's important to know that games are protected by copyright!
However, the gameplay is not protected by copyright.
Even if you create the same game, exactly the same one, as long as the art and programming are different.
Even the insomnia clinic can't sue you for anything.
If your game allows you to go on a rampage, then of course my game allows you to go on a rampage too.
Therefore, many game companies have tried to create a game similar to Left 4 Dead.
You call me the infected person, I call me the source of the virus, and the other person is called the virus carrier, isn't that enough?
Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time.
Because now that the survival path has been revealed, it has already gained a large number of players in a very short time.
What they're looking for is a path to survival, not a game played by these big companies.
"Not enough time?"
This is indeed a problem. The insomnia studio has been in development for a long time, and this is not a problem that can be solved by applying pressure.
Game development takes time.
It's not like if someone has insomnia and comes up with a project today, you can copy a game tomorrow.
"Director Yan..."
"As far as I know, Left 4 Dead hasn't been released yet, but it has already garnered attention from many overseas platforms, who are planning to distribute their games."
Ji Yuan stared at the directors in front of him, from the operations department, marketing department, and development department.
He spoke casually, as if it had little to do with him.
"Huh?? No way? So fast?"
The marketing director has been researching how insomnia games accurately capture players' preferences.
Dark circles have spread all over my face.
At this moment, he looked at Ji Yuan with a haggard expression, finding it hard to believe.
The design concept of Left 4 Dead is indeed good.
But how could they decide to distribute their game in such a short time without even developing it or revealing the actual gameplay?
What's so appealing about this insomnia studio?
Ok?
They knew the origins of the Insomnia Studio; it had even been an outsourced project of their Aurora Studio in the past.
Yet they achieved results in such a short time!
This is something that no game developer could have imagined!
"Currently, Niso has decided to take full control of the copyright of Insomnia Studio, and various game platforms such as Softstar have also extended offers."
"Japan is also very interested in Insomnia Studio's games."
Upon hearing this, Director Yan nodded and remained silent for a moment.
A few minutes later, Director Yan looked up at Ji Yuan and said—
"Mr. Ji, our project to create a clone of Left 4 Dead has already started, but as you know, the development of this game takes time."
"I do have a suggestion: could we add a mode to our FPS game...?"
Aurora Games does have a long-standing and popular FPS game.
It's called the War of Reversal!
Its main gameplay is the same as CS that Shen Huaizhou's predecessor had seen, and later CF.
"A new model?"
Upon hearing these words, Ji Yuan's composed expression subtly changed.
"Yes, it's zombie mode!"
The zombie mode was an idea that Director Yan came up with from his subordinates after yesterday's meeting!
Since they don't have enough time, why not add a zombie-fighting game to the existing game?
However, the name "Zombie Mode" doesn't sound very good. How about we change the name of this mode to "Biohazard Mode"?
This mode is also very easy to play!
Director Yan carefully explained the design ideas from his designers to Ji Yuan!
So-called biochemical mode!
Players will take on the roles of survivors and zombies!
The game centers on a survival competition between two factions: humans and zombies!
As for the background? That's even simpler!
Where did the zombies come from? They appeared after a virus leaked from the lab, of course!
As for the details, the people below have already designed them!
Humans need to rely on supplies or transform themselves to fight back.
Players who play as zombies need to get infected to gain various skills!
Then we can optimize the backgrounds and weapons, and add more maps! Wouldn't that allow us to go head-to-head with Left 4 Dead?
Moreover, with the background of Aurora Games, they can easily field a team of forty or fifty people!
Manipulating maps and numbers is incredibly easy!
"Great biohazard mode, let's go for this!"
Ji Yuan slammed his hand on the table, directly approving of the project!
Compared to new projects, we need to allocate more budget to add a mode to their reverse war!
That's much simpler than any new project.
After listening to Director Yan's report, Ji Yuan nodded in satisfaction!
This guy is actually somewhat useful!
Although they're not good at operations or development, they're good at coming up with clever ideas.
"I'm giving you one month. I want to officially launch this mode before Left 4 Survival is released!"
"By the way, let's announce it across the entire internet first: Aurora Games is about to release a zombie FPS shooting game!"
"First, let's attract the players' attention. As for what happens next..."
"Let's talk about it later!"
