"Yes, take an hour every day during work hours for a dedicated game experience, and then I need you to give me a game perception of not less than 500 words every three days." John nodded and confirmed their doubts.

Are you kidding me? Everyone expressions: o((⊙﹏⊙))o

What is the average player's impression of a game developer? Working in a high sci-fi office, with creative ideas gathered in groups of three and drinking coffee, a wave of brainstorming, or working tired to improve a game?

Indeed, this is the case, but this is the treatment of a large game company. Most small game production is done in a small office, sitting in front of the computer like a worker on the assembly line, doing unskilled repeating work. As for playing games during working hours? In addition to the special positions such as testing and numerical values, actual testing is required.

"Of course, this is a job requirement. The games you play are limited. Everyone's computer has a TXT file on the desktop, which is the account of the official game platform. The games you need to play, I have given you in advance." But when they were happy to see the game on the computer, they were startled.

"Are all JRPG games of the last century?" Everyone looked at the hard disk, and the total size of more than a dozen games was less than 1 G. They were quite speechless.

"Okay, everyone at this age, if you played games as a kid, you must be familiar with these," John said with a smile.

Until now, John still remembers how he was shocked when he first played this kind of game.

At that time, the graphics technology was not as exaggerated as it is now, and even immersive VR had already broken through. At that time, mainstream games were limited by the performance of the function, which was mainly based on pixels. The game that John saw in the memory of dreams made him feel familiar with a very special pixel style, so he decided to let him develop a game like that after Binding of Isaac.

As for making money, John didn't think too much when deciding which game to choose. Because Binding of Isaac has been successful, even if you don't play games, the money earned by Binding of Isaac is enough for him and Luna to live happily in the small city of his hometown for a lifetime.

To say that he doesn't want to make money is also a hypocrite to speak. Compared to making money, he wants to show those dream memories in his mind to others. Show the game culture of another world to the players of this world.

"But President John, pure pixel style, players may not buy it, after all, pixels are just pixels." Koch watched John once again raise his concerns.

Many players think that the memories in their minds are put in the present moment and are not as good as they think. If you have played some games as a kid, you feel that they are particularly fun and special. It may not be possible to forget and grow up in this life. After being faced with countless 3A masterpieces how amazing and powerful that game was, it makes you go to play that game again, even if the HD is remastered, how many people can continue to play it? The rest is just feelings.

For example, John has seen several games in his dream memory. One of them is the remake of Resident Evil 2. More than a decade later, a remake was launched, but it's not so much a remake as a complete remake.

In addition to the general plot and tasks, you can hardly find the same place in the gameplay settings. The operation methods, perspectives, and battle modes have all undergone current technological innovations, and this has been a great success. If it is limited by function and technicality, then there is no doubt that it will be on the street.

"Packing the beautiful things in my memories is human nature, just like I said before, although the new project is the performance of pixels, we need to use modern game development technology, physical effects, light and shadow rendering, Including 3D exquisite models, using modern technology to beautify the pixel style." John looked at everyone and said.

This is a conclusion he made after studying the game of dream memory in his mind for a long time. Simply pixels for pixels, after all, it is just repeating the old technology of the past, retro games are not just retro for retro. Modern game screen technology, blending pixel style, is the final effect to be shown.

"First complete the follow-up content of Binding of Isaac, the corresponding documents are already on your computer, wait a while to take a look at each, and then discuss the new project, when next week, I will also tell you in detail," John told the four members of the team after answering the questions raised by Koch.

And Luna next to him was sitting there, listening to John's words, and nodded gently, unconsciously, a picture that she understood.

The work on the first day does not have any specific content. The main thing is to supplement the follow-up content of Binding of Isaac. Regarding the support of the server and the construction of the server, John has contacted the Social Tap side, they will solve it, just add the interface part on the client.

By the end of the day at work, John invested in inviting everyone to eat a meal in the hotel, and then go back to each house early. As for social activities like KTV, John did not like it when he was still in the company. These things always feel like they are squeezing their own time, and it is only the initial establishment of the project team, and it is not a celebration after the success of the project, so I have not played these virtual things.

The next morning, John did not go to the company with Luna. Instead, he took a taxi to an outsourcing company 'Forestfruit Sports', which was previously responsible for the outsourcing work of Binding of Isaac.

"Should I call President John now?" Norbert, who is the boss of the company, came to the door to greet John with a smile on his face.

He was also a teenager when he set up a dream chase. At first, he was engaged in self-development, but then he succeeded and failed to engage in several games. Although he did not lose money, he did not make money. But the line between OEM and outsourcing is honestly quite deep. Although the project is not very worrying in the past few years, no outsourcing project can be done.

And this time was different. He never imagined that the outsourcing of Binding of Isaac from program to art, music, all in one train could achieve such a point. If you make money, you don't make much money. After all, the art, source code, and music are all handled by their outsourcing company. Most of the money is used to give bonuses to employees.

But not making much money is not the key to the problem, the most important thing is the game Binding of Isaac. If you can know in advance, Norbert is even willing to lower the money to let their company outsource the game.

"Is there any business for President John this time?" Norbert brought John into the office and shouted, "Ferrell, from the cupboard in my office to two cups of tea."

After John and Norbert walked into the office, outside the quiet hall, many employees whispered.

'Awesome! That game sold at least one million copies! '

'Say this game is all made by us! In addition to the numerical and gameplay design above, all the rest is done by us, that is to say, we are also talents who have done million-selling games. '

'It's recommended that you go to the toilet and take photos of yourself. '

'Just finished! '

'...'
