Horror game!? Everyone looked at each other and then looked at the other side.

There is the ugly Isaac in Binding of Isaac, and the bloody dancer, and the innocent merchant girl in The Octopath Traveler.

According to normal thinking, should they not continue to launch an RPG-type game, even APRG? But suddenly going to make a horror game, what kind of thinking is this? This is like a pure love creator, and suddenly telling you that they are going to do NTR is a bit unacceptable, and this business type has changed too much.

"Mr. John, suddenly doing horror games, isn't the gap too large?" Evelien raised her hand and said with a little worry.

Everyone beside them nodded like chickens pecking. They had made ACT games, some FPS games, some RTS games, and some MMORPG games, but the horror game is the first one they haven't done. After all, whether it is a domestic or foreign game creator, it is taboo for horror games, especially some large game companies, rarely involve this theme.

The pursuit of the mysterious unknown and fear is a human instinct, just like some people eat chili, even if they are spicy and sweaty, and even has no taste, they will continue to eat for the kind of stimulating feeling. The same is true for horror games, horror novels, and movies.

There is always a market for horror games, but this market is too small. Except for some small independent game studios and small studios, there are no companies that dig deep into this piece.

"It's not a big project, it's about less than 10 million Dollars," John said with a smile.

Cough-! Everyone could not help but choke, the cost of 10 million Dollars is not big? So what is a big project?

"Okay, everyone will add the group first. Later I will send the file to the group, so take a look at it. In addition to Evelien and Jackie, you must go to these arts these days, including Koch. Playing some horror games, watching horror movies and animations, the novels are temporarily forgotten, and the cost statistics will be reported at the end of the month to be reimbursed." John looked at everyone and said very seriously.

"I understand the boss-!" Said unanimously, the old employee did not respond, but Jackie and other employees who joined later were very excited.

Be able to get the game documents and let them see things about horror topics, which means that they can also participate in the game throughout, instead of simply doing a certain thing to complete a certain task according to the arrangement of the manager. It has to be said that this is a rare opportunity.

"This week's Binding of Isaac and some bug fixes about Octopath Traveler, patching with some content feedback from players, the rest of the time everyone is familiar with the content of the horror theme as soon as possible," John looked at the crowd and continued to add: "I will go to the city this week, as the Golden Owl Game Award has given us nominations. I will return to General Manager Koch and I will start game development next week."

Golden Owl Game Award?! Nominations?! Listening to John's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their eyes widened. For ordinary players, the Golden Owl Game Awards may not be too prominent, but everyone is in the game circle, who does not know the name of the Golden Owl Game Awards? This is the biggest award for an independent game in the country.

Although it is not as good as the Golden Statue Game Award, and the International Game Awards, the Golden Owl Game Award is the largest in independent domestic game awards, especially the Golden Owl Game Award has an official level of impact.

Won several nominations, why can such words be expressed in such a freehand tone!? Everyone expressed their envy.

"Okay, okay, go away, and go to work." John waved his hand, then went back to his office after talking about some work.

After being nominated for the Golden Owl Game Award, and after receiving a phone call from an official invitation at the beginning, he logged in to his official website game maker account, and after seeing the private message sent by the background to confirm that the message was true, John was also excited for a little while.

But after the excitement, John quickly calmed down. I still have a long way to go.

Although the game above, Binding of Isaac and Octopath Traveler set off a lot of movements, and even to some extent exceeded the two works of Martel and Mercury Studio. These are the games in the dream memory, even if no one knows, but if you let yourself make a game without reference?

John thought about it carefully, maybe it was okay, but there would never be the qualities of Binding of Isaac and Octopath Traveler.

The accumulation of experience, in the study of game production, from the lighting scene of a scene to the rhythm of the entire game, these are things that he has to learn all the time.

"Let's go and buy two sets of clothes together. Anyway, it's also the biggest award ceremony in the independent game circle in the country, it has to be more formal." When everyone returned to work, looking at the tutorial learning Luna, holding the Doggo, and walking to the side, John said with a smile.

"Eh... Am I going with you too?" After pressing the space to pause the video, Luna was a little surprised.

"Of course, because this time it is likely to win the award, so I want you to stay with me," John said with a smile.

Finished, the Doggo next to him bark twice.

Luna's face showed a touching expression, but she was a little hesitant: "What about the Doggo? We no longer take care of the dog."

"It's okay, it takes only two days at most to take the road. Just put the dog in the company and let Evelien help them take care of it." John looked at the doggo at his feet and didn't know that he was about to be abandoned, a little distressed thought and said.

It's just that John still doesn't want to trouble others, after all, it's his own business.

"It can only be like this." Luna nodded helplessly after thinking.

Like John said, she doesn't want to trouble others, but compared to taking care of the dog, she wants to go to this game awards ceremony with John. After all, this is John's first exhibition. She hopes to be with John for the first time.

***

After half an hour...

John and Luna talked about this to Evelien and she had no hesitation when they asked. She was very happy to accept it, and then they looked at Doggo with an expression of embarrassment.
