262 Game Developers Conference

Regardless of the outside world's public opinion, at least within Shaft, the large investments of Qin and Han dynasties are very positive.

After changing to a rich boss, the company has a bright future and the enthusiasm of employees is easier to mobilize.

The first time I made an animation independently, I had such good conditions, and it was not a good thing that I could encounter at any time.

Of course, if the project management cannot keep up with it after too much money, it will become a dilemma of spending big money to do small things and falling into the dilemma of half the result with twice the effort.

Fortunately, although Shaft has never produced animation independently, it is not a new company. It has many years of history in the industry and has accumulated rich project operation experience. There is also a senior producer like Wakao Hiroshi, so the problem is not too big.

In addition, there is good news.

Meijin Taichen originally planned to participate in the production of Op and E-ed in "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan". However, after reading the script written by Qin Han, he was very excited and wanted to join the production team no matter what. So Qin Han asked him to take the role of the seventh episode of the animation as a freelance performer.

This animation focuses on a group of excellent animation people who have not been famous in this world but have proved their abilities in another world.

There are also golden music combinations such as Yuki Kajiura and Tomoko Ishikawa.

Coupled with the voices of the voice actors Mizuki Nana, Hiroe Yui, and Tamura Yukari, the already emerging voice actors, the production lineup of this animation is terrifyingly strong.

Perhaps many years later, when the animation otakus talks about "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan", they will still talk about the shining names in the production team.

The production fund for "Magic Girl Koyuan" is 400 million yen, all provided by Shaft's parent company Terracotta Warriors Entertainment. The approximately 100 million yen prepared by Ohiroshi through the production committee will be used for publicity.

This amount of money was originally used for animation production before the Qin and Han Dynasty acquired Shaft. And at that time, it had not yet collected 100 million yen, only more than 60 million.

However, when Qin Han acquired Shaft and invested heavily in the production of animation, some of the original wait-and-see investors were finally persuaded by Hiroshi Wakao and joined the production committee.

In fact, Qin and Han didn't care about the existence of the production committee.

Because the role of this organization is just to raise funds and share risks when making animations.

However, for the animation "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan", Qin Han didn't think there was any risk at all. Others might think that his big investment was a reckless adventure, but he knew that this was an animation that would definitely succeed.

However, considering that it is impossible to play sole proprietorship forever when creating animations in the future, he still follows the production committee model.

Generally speaking, the promotional cost of a TV animation is one-third to half of the production cost. Although the promotional cost of 100 million yen is a bit lower than the production cost of 400 million yen, the absolute amount still crushes the promotional cost of other late-night animations.

Whether it is capital investment or the strength of the production team, this is an animation without shortcomings.

The only thing Qin and Han Dynasty looked forward to was that the official broadcasting day would come as soon as possible.

Compared with all the smooth animation production, Terracotta Warriors Entertainment's game business encountered some difficulties.

The development progress of the new DLC of "The Story of Oriental Fantasy Country" is very smooth, and the daily maintenance and version upgrade of the game, as well as the console version transplant work, are also in an orderly manner.

However, the development work of the new game "Oriental World" - the magical revision of "Terraria" in another world, encountered some difficulties.

This is a sandbox adventure game that allows players to fully utilize their imagination. The biggest selling point is the free-building gameplay. Every time you open a new map that is randomly generated, you can get new fun.

However, the pcg (programmed content generation) technology that needs to be applied is a difficult point.

The game industry in this world, sandbox and free world exploration games, are still hard to find. Whether it is RPG or other types of games, most emphasize plot experience and game performances, bringing players an immersive feeling.

The fun of free exploration in random worlds is only reflected in some niche 4x (that is, having four major elements of exploration, expansion, development, and elimination) strategy games.

Therefore, the free sandbox games that randomly generate the world have also developed very slowly.

The average level of Japanese programmers is not as good as that of China, Russia, the United States and other countries. Most of the newly recruited employees of Terracotta Warriors Entertainment have no idea about programmatic content generation technology. Even if some know this technology, it is difficult to write an available program immediately.

There is no way, Qin Han can only let programmers seize the time and strive to develop this random world generation technology as soon as possible.

Because in the future, it will still be used when making other sandbox games, such as Minecraft and No Man's Sky.

As the boss and chief game producer, Qin Han started planning and art work first in art design and game design.

On the morning of June 12, Qin and Han dynasties came to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses to entertain.

Every week, he would come to the company from time to time to ask about the situation of various tasks.

Although there is no problem with Xin Na Yuanhao, a professional and responsible chief operating officer, the company's daily operations are available, but as a boss, it is not good if he always disappears and does not show up in front of his employees.

Moreover, there are many things in game production that must be discussed and communicated face to face to solve them smoothly.

Anyway, his home and company are in the port area, so it doesn’t take much time to go back and forth.

When he arrived at the company, Miss Goto Kaoru at the front desk was still dressed up beautifully and shouted "Good morning, president" with full energy. Qin Han responded to her with a smile. This polite action might make Miss Goto show off to others again during lunch today.

After coming to the office and handling some daily work, Xin Na Yuanhao found Qin Han and brought a message.

The Japan Game Developer Conference is about to be held, and the organizing committee has sent him an invitation letter.

Qin Han took the invitation letter and saw it: "Hold in Kamakura? In this historical and antique city, a gamer development conference representing modern technology culture is held. It seems that the organizer has a lot of ideas..."
